In Mondays FREE Pass, you copy from
the Associated Press dispatches an item in
! regard to the selo, in this town, Of the SlC
certificates, which is essentially erroneous
in that it accuses the Montpelier National
Bank of refusing to exchange legal tenders
for National Bank bills. The fact is that
the Montpelier National Bank afforded every
facility in their power to those who desired
to purchase the certificates, and every one
who presented to that bank Montpelier Ma
tional Bank bills, received IN exchange
therefor the legal tenders. With which to
enable them to purchase certificates Ii Is
also fact that very few, il any, Of the
working and poorer classes" desired to
purchas, these certificates and fewer had
the wherewith to invest in them, had they
so desired. No one, however, who desired
to purchase was deprived of the privilege Of
doing SO, il complying with the rules of the
Treasury Department. As to the case OF
Wallacs W. Moves, who accepted the trust
of : 100 with which to purchase certificates
for Andrew Hodgdon, who is an employe
of the Montpelier National Bank, he is al
most universally condemned BY the work
ing and poorer classes" for whom the As
ISOLATED Press reporter eyinces SO much So
licitude !: while the business men of the
town will hereafter keep sharp watch of
any vsluables that may happen to c1me
within bis reach. Mr.. Noyes may yet find
that 500 to be the dearest treasure he ever
possessed should he continue - possess it.
OF which there u a. yet no certainty.

No aid the saxon proiirred.

Softly she raised her poets lyrs
The tears her bright eyes blending.
Amid its chords Of bravest song
The string from Tara binding;
Glitteret the sorrow tarn shed thread,
The iairest OF the seven
unblessed the Tyre that hath no chord
FOR country and for Heaven,

His ISLANDS sorrow singing
Sweet PHYS tear of sympathy
In alien hearts upspringing-
Singing her true-eyed maidens faith,
Her kings old battle glory
Ere fair haired Saxon wrought the grJng

Still eoholng over the broader seas

From leagues Of prairie grasses.

With holy shamrock blending.
