THE RUTLAND DAILY GLOBE MORNING. MARCH 49, 1877


-----------------------
| ty-six volumes of medical works, among
J them the Surgical and Medical History OF
the War of the Rebellion, work COM
| prising six quarto volumes of about one
thousand pages each. The last three of
these are still In preparation in Washing
ton and will be sent when done. They cam
| not be bought for any price and are at the
| disposal OF members of congress only.
Mr.. james Trask recently fell from a
pile of wood and dislocated one of his
| wrists.
At the late march meeting the old offic-
| ers we're mostly reelected, and business
was dispatched with celebrity. The town
system Of schools was very properly and
decisively disposed Of, there being very
| few votes In Its favor. 1t will be q long
| time yet before the town of Mt. Holly will
| be in suitable condition for the adoption
of this system. To say nothing of the
unique and unfavorable topography of the
| town, its citizens arc too stanch in their
hate of Capitalization Of power, and too
slow to embrace new and untried schemes
to look with any favor upon this one for
some time to come. 1t seems to US as
though the schools Of Vermont have re-
ceived and arc receiving altogether too
much coddling at the bands of state Of
| ficials, and return to the vigorous style of
| days of yore seems TO be generally desired.
Tommy Noon claims to be o surgeon,
says he has successfully performed "crop-
| otomy" on the hen, relieving her of COWS
| tooth which she had foolishly swallowed,
from which "fowl" operation biddy entire
ly recovered.
Lewis Barrett, who has been very ill
for some time with pneumonia, is now
| convalescent.
The tramp question is getting seriou1. A
few nights since there were entertained at
our tramp hotel eleven poor wanderers and
hardly night passes that some are not
| kept On quizZing one recently as to why
30 many more stopped here than In neigh
boring towns he said there was sign at
Bellows Falls giving all the stops from
there 10 Burlington, such places as this
where they get bed and good fare being
marked "good stop" while SUCH places as
Ludlow where they are put in the lookup
and fed on bread ald water were denomi-
mated "damned poor STOP" Thus they
avoid Ludlow and stop here. A workhouse
Is needed at once, either town or county.

FAIRRAvEN.
Rev. Martin e. Cady of Troy Confer
ence academy, delivered his lecture in the
| reQding club course, entitled "Secret of
| genius" on Tuesday evening the 18th. The
| lecture was characterized by clearness, d.
rectness and devotion to truth. The lee
turer had no fanciful theory to maintain,
| but after exposing the fallacy of some bril-
liant sayings on his sibject, and showing
that the proof of genius ia success in what
one undertakes, he Jlsclos ed the secret IN
| der three heads:
| l. Accuracy of observation.
Q. Accuracy of thought.
3. Accuracy of expression.
The distinct Office and organic relation
of these three things were well stated and
exemplified In a convincing manner in the

do good wherever 1t is heard; it is especial
ly valuable to young persons and earnest
students.
