Death of Rev. DR.. ". II. Lord.

We learn with sorrow, by dispatches
from Montpelier, of the death of Rev. DIR.
W. Ii. Lord, of that place, which took
place Yesterday Sunday morning. March
18th, at a. m, in the 5ith year OF his age,
DR.. Lord was the son of the late President
Lord, so long President OF Dartmouth Col
lege. 'On graduating from the Theological
Seminary, young man of 2i years, be was
settled over the Congregational church oil
Montpelier, succeeding Rev. John Gridley
in the pastOrate; and though repeatedly and
urgently invited to other fields of labor.
he remained there until his death But
three Congregational ministers in Vermont.
Rev. DR.. Drake, of Royalton Rev. .. e..
Wheeler. of Grand Isle. and Rev. Mr.. Stov-
ems, of Westminster, have been longer in
their present pastoratcs, and VIC think but
two of these exceeded his in continuous ser
vice. Dr.:Lord was doubtless. by common
consent, the ablest, most eloquent, and
most prominent of the settled Congrega-
tional clergymen Of our State. In many
ways. with his pen as well as IN has pulpit,
and socially, he exercised wide and strong
influence His death leaves gap which
cannot be easily filed, and he will be deeply
mourned, not only by his attached towns
men and immediate friends, but by wide
circle of admirers and friends in this and
other States. We shall publish fuller
sketch of his lite and worthier tribute to
his memory, hereafter.
DR.. Lord has been in failing health for
many months, and for week past We have
been expecting almost daily to hear OF his
DEATH His disease was py amla, or blood
poisoning. from some inward liberation.
He leaves widow and five children, four OF
them, three daughters and a son. being OF
adult age and one a lad of nine or ten years.
His funeral will take place on Wednesday
next at =. 30 o'clock p. M.

The State WOrkh0use.

Hon. Albert Clarke, who is member OF
the Workhouse Commission, says IN the
| Messenger that the commissioners OF the
State and Of RGtlAnd county, met at Rut-
land. Thursday. and examined several sites
for the establishment of the penal institu-
ton provided FIR at The last session OF the
Legislature. They arrived at no definite
conclusion, but appointed one OF their num-
Der to ascertain pI.css AMI maxi further ex-
amiDations. Next week they will visit Mas
sachusetts to see work hOusGs, confer with
the prison commissioners and gain any IN
formation that they can touching the build
ing, ard the industries to be employed.
The commissioners are at present inclined
to think that the business OF dressing mar
bic may be the best adapted and Likely to
be the most profitable I'm view OF the loca-
tiOn of the wOrkhOuse in such a town as
Rutland) of any industry that unskilled
laborers can be put into. But, of course,
they will build in such a manner a. not to
be dependent on any one business. and the
directors, when appointed, can select that
kind that will seem best. The commits
sioners resolved to exercise great eau
ton in selecting \ site. and will
have in view the accessibility of the
prison. (since it is to ai used also as a jail
for Rutland county, the healthfulness of
the location, the Convenience of it for
different industries. and the matter of COM
petltive freight rates on tho cOnverging
lines. The Rutland county commissioners
assured the State commissioners that if they
selected a site agreeable to them, the S2O.
900 to be contributed by that county should
be furnished at once, and in that event the
work will be commenced this Spring and
the institution made ready for the reception
of inmates, if possible, by early autumn.
The commissioners are resolved that they
will not adopt any plan that is in the least
liable to lead the State into the necessity for
a further expenditure to complete the es-
adjustment and give it successful start.

BENNINGTON isn't the must accessible
town in America, and unless lecturers get
an early start they are apt to find a drowsy
audience awaiting them. Cough arrived one
evening three or four hours late, Anna
Dickinson arrived on the "Owl" several
hours after her audience had gathered, and
Banks bad a bat of experience in filling an
engagement about four years since, when
he rode across the hilLs from BrattlebOrO,
Al miles. inside Of a. hours, to be greeted by
an impatient assemblage. j. 0'Donovan
Rosa, Of New York, attempted to fill an en-
pavement there last Friday evening. but,
mistaking tho towns geographical position
he went by way Of Spring field. Mass, and
thence northward as far as East Walling
ford on the Rutland road. When Informed
that he could make no connection at Rut
land for Bennington, he crossed the noun
tain and went down the western Vermont
valley by private conveyance, reaching Ben
nington at 10 O'Clock, after ride OF 81
miles through mud and snow, to find a larg'
portion Of bis impatient audience arranging
for lance. The leoI ure was put over

The Free Press is doubtless correct in
saying that the Central Vermont can have
no interest at variance with the Caug hns-
waga canal But the National Car Com
pany, which is doing the bulk Of the Chi
cago and Boston business over the Central
Vermont line, probably has an interest at
variance with the canal. II the managers
of the road were not, as appearances IN
dicate that to consid cradle extent they
are, under the power of the Car Company,
there mipht be some hope that the railroads
between Lake Champlain and Boston would
take hold OF the canal project with deter
minatlun TO carry it through. We think
that this point is worthy If consideration
by the people of Burlington and Boston.
and the Free Press may tind on reflection
that the relation OF the Car Company to the
railroad is an important factor IN the
problem which it is seeking to solve

For the first time since the present

it will settle the question in favor of the

The GOULD STEAMERS. Another of the
Could steam fire engines, made by
Messrs. B. s. Nichols & Co., was tried
Friday on the South dock, giving very
favorable results. From ice-cold water,
steam was made in IL minutes. and in u
minutes a l!-inch stream reached fifty feet
from the nozzle, with 100 feet of hose. The
throwing was as follows: lt-inch nozzle,
2l7 feet; l!-inch nozzle, 253 feet; l-inch
nozzle, 800 feet. 1t speaks well for the
workmanship and material Of these steam
ers that one trial is sufficient to show their
perfection. We understand that none OF
the steamers made by Messrs. Nichols <
