Death Of lex Governor As nlael
Peck.

Peck.
Ex-Governor Asahel Peck died
at his home in Jericho on Sunday
evening, aged 70 years.
He was a native or Massachu'
sets, his father removing TO Mont
pelier, VT. about 1906. He flied
for college in the Washington
County Grammar School, and en-.
tered the University Of Vernon
which he left in his senior term for
a course of study in the French
language in Canada. He studied
law with his brother, Nahum Peck
Of Hipesburg, and bis name as an
ktofiey!at Hinesburg. appears in
Walton's Register for 1888, when
he was thirty years of age. In
that year he removed to Burling.
ton, where all his professional life
was spent.
TheMontpelier Waterman says
of him "He was a thorough and
patient student, and a conscien.
tious lawyer and Judge. Possessing
a tenacious memory, he held all he
had secured in years of study, and
could instantly bring his great
store of learning to bear upon any
legal question presented to him.
Touching his abilities as a lawyer.
we cite an incident that occurred
several years ago: The late Rufus
ChOate, who will he remembered as
one of the most eloquent and emil
nent lawyers of Massachusetts, met
Mr.. Peck as an antagonist at the
trial of an important case, and at
its conclusion Mr.. Choate was so
astOnished to find such a lawyer IN
Vermont, that he went to Mr.. Peck
and urged him vehemently to re-
move to Boston, assuring him that
he would win fame and fortune.
No inducement, however, could
move Mr.. Peck ; having once made
up his mind, nothing could change
it, Burlington he had selected as
the place to practice his profession,
and Burlington it must aud should
be, and was. Of his reputation as
q lawyer and judge, an eminent
member OF the bar declares that no
man in New England since Judge
Story has equalled Judge Peck in
bis knowledge of the common law
Of England and tho law of equity.
AS Governor we can bear testimo-
ny that he was one of the very best
that Vermont has ever had
thoroughly independent, prudent
IN every act, and carefully inspect
ng the minutest detail of every
thing presented for his official APP
prevail. Mr.. Peck was a judge of
The Circuit Court from 1851 until it
leased in December, 1857, and of
The Supreme Court from 1860 until
1874, when, it being understood
hat he had retired from the bench
o farm in Jericho, to renew the
of his youth, he was
elected Governor for the term 1874
1876. He was never married.
Since leaving the executive chair,
le has been often employed as coun.
el in important cases; and doubt
ess, had his life been spared, would
or some years moro shown him
elf as grand master of the law"
His funeral was attended at
Oh Wednesday.

A Surprise Party.

Mr.. Editor Last Wednesday
evening, the 23d Of July, being specl,
ally conducted to our gate by a good
brother, my surprise was awakened
at his unusually thoughtful and kind
manner. Soon as l entered the room
where Mrs. H. was, and in the midst
of our conversation about the prayer
meeting (Which ! had just left) ano-
Their brother presented himself. 1t

A brief period Of time proved to be
only the avant courier Of others, fo1
in a moment voices were heard with
out and the door suddenly opened
and company of about forty persons
rushed in upon us, composed of the
old, middle-aged, and quite number
of young people, each bringing gifts
and good cheer. We were most
pleasantly surprised at this sudden
outburst of goodness of heart, espe-
cially so when we consider that our
many friends came through mud and
rain to exhibit 1T. Alter partaklne
of some excellent cake and lemonade,
brother R. II. Powell presented us
in warm, earnest manner, an ap-
propriate address, the substantials
left on and under our table, and IN
various parts of the house, and q
purse of SIS. We attempted in a
reply to express our sincere gratitude
and of our true appreciation of the
generous spirit shown, but words were
Inadequate. We enjoyed the society
of our friends and trust all spent the

Another View.

Editor Mining Journal Being an
eyewitness of the ministers meeting,
think perhaps a few corrections will
not be out of place.
When the ministers came together
the only point which came under dis
cussion was as to Whist they should do
in the matter. 1t was finally agreed
that, IS men, their sympathy was
with the statesmen, but that as minis
tiers they could not take the matter
in hand.
Now | DO think that they deserve
great credit for the course they have
pursued. That you have been misled
by your reporters | have no doubt.
Knowing you to be fair and honest
man | am well assured that to mis-
represent the ministers would be the
very last thing you would do.
In speaking Of their duty as minis
tiers one of the brethren took bible
and held it up and eaid: rethren,
give me text covering this point
and l will preach on it next Sunday.
AS for the report that they should
have said:
The clerks used the early hours to get
drunk.
This is surely a mistake; no such
thing was said In the meeting; if it
was said at all it must have been said
outside.
The following however was said,
and every salesman in town has rea-
son to be proud of it, and thank the
minister who said it, for it it is GER
tainly to their credit. 1t was that,
some years ago the complaint was
made that some of the clerks after
business hours would go to the sa-
looms. But that this was not the case
now; that our clerks to-day were re-
spectacle and moral men"
Now, Mr.. Editor, do with this
whatever you think best. If you
think it worthy a place in the col
umns of your highly-esteemed paper,
you may publish it and be assured
that l shall remain your friend as l
have always been heretofore.
We would take it, however, as a
special favor ministers as well as sales
men, if you would publish the name
of your reporter. Yours truly,
A PASTOR.

a Tart Letter.

Now, a report of any public meet

We learn informally that the preachers
meeting Thursday resulted adversely TO
taking the matter of carly closing into
Their pulpits to morrow.
You say yourself that you learned
it informally" hence, you were not
informed officially, nor in a regular
way. What right had you then TO
report at all? You have Just as

or consent as you have to publish
what you did concerning the preach

The Four Car System.

OCEAN MINE, Nd, July 80, 1879.
Mr.. Editor Can you give US
any insight into the wisdom of the
"four car" system lately adopted by
the miners of the Consolidation coal
company Is it not a great dlsad-
vantage to themselves by reducing go
much needed labor to a small amount,
and causing demand for additional
population here which we do not
want? 1t seems to me very short
sighted indeed for US old, steady, sub
stantial men, whom the companies al
ways find ready to do all the work we
can get, to adopt system which roos
us and does nobody else any partlcu-
lar good. What say you?
