IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-John Leach Of
Pawlet was few weeks ago placed in Jail
on warrant issued by Judge Bromley of
Castleton for disobeying an order of the
probate court in that district. Mr.. Leach
was brought before Judge Redfeld of the
supreme court on writ of habedS corpuS
and he discharged the respondent on the
ground that the statutes do not confer on
the probate court the authority to commit
for contempt, and that it would practically
take away the right of appeal TO n higher
court and also imprison for debt which is
expressly forbidden by the statute. The
closing paragraph of Judge Redield's
decision is as follows: 1t is claimed that
this stipend to the widow is necessary for
her support, and unless compliance with
the order is compelled, she and her little
ones would starve, and the manuscript
opinion of tho supreme court, denying
appeal in this case, is referred to. The
inconvenience of the parties must certain
ly be very great to authorize the court to
override positive statute. But in that
case the court decided that the right of
appeal, 10 such case was not given; in
this case it is claimed that the power is to
be enforced q6irnsattUely, to imprison the
debtor, because the necessity of the case
would render such summary power to
imprison very convenient. think this
claim in direct conflict with the case in re. ,
Bingham, 32I Vt, without precedent and
at war with the general legislation and
policy of the state, denying and prohibit
ing Imprisonment for debt.

TAKING TINE BY THE FoRELoCK.-
Coming events cast their shadows before
and already, through the mists of months
the gladstone holiday season looms clearer
day by day, filling the youthful mind with
pleasing speculation, and causing mater
famlias to consider in what direction she
can exercise little additional economy,
whereby the money for presents may be
forthcoming when required. And Just in
the nick of time there comes to hand a
suggestion of how Johnny, and Mamie,
and Flossie, and Charlie may secure for
themselves and by their own exertions,
the Jack knives and work boxes, and writ
ing cases, and tool chests, for which their
souls are longing: of how mamma may
get that book or parlor ornament she has
talked about so often; and of how, by
their united exertions they may obtain a
present wherewith to surprise and gladden.
the soul of papa.
For the publishers of Ehrich's Fashion
Quarterly are in the field with the new
premium list of their magazine; and all
that mamma or children Tor papa either
for that matter) need do, is to send name
and address on postal card to Messrs
Enrich & Co., 2S7 Eighth Avenue, New
York, when copy of the list will be
mailed them free, and they can appreciate
for themselves the advantages offered.
The Fashion Quarterly so exactly fills
its place as guide to economy in the
household, and its subscription price, only
fifty cents II year, is so very trihing, that
little difficulty should be experienced in
securing subscriptions; and we have no
doubt that thousands will gladly avail
themselves of the opportunity thus pre-
sented of securing very useful article
at very moderate expense of time and
trouble.

ANOTHER ExCURsIoN.--The people
along the line Of the Passumpsc railroad
from White River Junction to Bradford
had the chance of an excursion along the
valleys of the Connecticut and Passumpsic
rivers, and to Lake Memphremagog,
on "Wednesday, the 9th ult, and it was
improved by about seven hundred indi-
viduals, of which we made one. The
excursion included II ride on the lake to n
spot called Bay View. some ten or twelve
miles. we should think, from Newport,
where gang Of hands, under the ener-
getic management of President Raymond,
were fitting up beautiful park. The
"View" is beautiful location about op-
posite COWS Head" heavily wooded
with oak and other hard wood trees, and
the boat hauls up at n fine wharf lust at
the picnic grounds.
AS before suggested, the grounds are in
an unfinished state, but they possess great
natural beauty, and when fully completed
will be among the loveliest of the MANY
beautiful spots with which our Jewel of n
state is gemmed. There is now built n
hall 35x90, to be used rs dancing or
dining hall, for meetings, concerts or
what-not, and to this are to be added a
kitchen, restaurant, bowling alley, GRO
quet, swings, etc., etc., to afford amuse-
ment suited TO all tastes.
The management spared no pains 10
make the excursion pleasant one, and
but one thing was noticed which we could
not approve, but as that was beyond the
company's power to remedy then, and
will be all right next time, we omit any
mention of it. After u pleasant time at
dinner, a few "tripped the light fantastic"
in the new hall, and at 3: 80 the boat left
for Newport and home. All joined in
voting it Il pleasant trip, and that much of
its pleasure was owing 10 the presence of
Mr. Farr, who accompanied the excursion
and did all in his power or the comfort
and pleasure of all ON board. The White
river cornet band accompanied the excur-
sion and played very nicely. On the
whole, jolly good time.

1t is an unfortunate circumstance thai
both the Chisolm and the Dixon tragedies
were committed after. and in accordance
with advice from eminent democrats. In
1875 Senator Lamar, referring to the gen
tie manners, the charity and the ability o.
Judge Chisolm, said: 80 much the
more need to get rid of him; so much the
more harm he can do" The people Of
Kemper county acted on the hint and
killed the Judge and two of his children.
A short time since Congressman Singleton
urged the Yazoo people :" to nip the indie.
pendent movement in, the bud," and the
murder of Captain Dixon was the
response to this appeal.

that the church should be very firm and
