POSITIVE RESULTS. There are nu-
merous remedies that cure sometimes
and become trusted as useful, but none
have ever proved so effectual-cured
so many and such remarkable cases
as DR.. Ayers medicines.
The Cherry Pectoral has restored
great numbers of patients who were
believed to be hopelessly affected with
consumption,
Ague Cure breaks up chills andfever
quickly and surely.
Ayers Compound Extract of Sarsa-
parilla eradicates scrofula and impuri-
ties of the blood, cleanses the system
and restores it to vigorous health. BY
its timely use many troublesome disor-
derS that cause a decline of health are
expelled or cured.
Ayers Pills and their effects are too
well known everywhere to require any
commentator from us here.-.Scranton

OUR LEGISLATIVE LETTER.


(From our special correspondent
The Legislature are hard at work,
there is much for them to do. The
compilation of the statutes is no
small matter, but it is well under
way, portions having been given out
to the several committees. The ques-
ton Of taking the grand list is also
under consideration, and several
amendments Of the present law are
expected. Whether they will be for
better or worse remains to be seen.
A State Board of Health is also by
many considered a necessity, and has
strong advocates. The Dog law
comes III for the usual amount of dis
cussion, and dog meetings are held
quite frequently. AS usual there are
bills put in to appeal most of our
good laws, but will meet with their
usual fate. Many members are elect
ed under the promise to use their in
fiuence to allow every one to fish,
hunt, or do sundry things contrary
to the statutes, and so bills are intro
duced which the originators of, if left
untrammeled would vote against,
and in fact they sometimes do vote
against their own bills. AS a whole
we have noble legislature, one that
IS capable to pass upon the laws in
revision, and one that it is safe to
trust. They will doubtless do great
work, that of which Vermont
can be proud, and the impression is
that they will do it quickly and be
home by Thanksgiving. Grant did
not come, but election will and
doubtless they will adjourn over from
Friday to Wednesday to help elect
the President. All consider the cleo
ton virtually settled however, and
that Garfield is to be our next Pres
ident.
During the week the usual num-
Der of societies have held their an
nual meetings here. "The Vermont
Historical Society" has grown into
an important auxiliary of Vermont
history, and the address Of Mr..
Sowles, lin the Representatives halD
upon the Fenians was one of great
interest, All Vermonters should be
proud Of their own history and all
that are will join this society.
Yours,
MEMO.

ence over all classes. She recalled
the work of Mrs. Hayes in Washing
ton, her influence all over the couu-
try, how she had been supported by
the President, and said that, if
women could vote, Rutherford b.
Hayes would be their choice. Octo-
Der 10 and 30, Mrs. Livermore gave
two of her best lectures in Village
Hall. She is commanding in appear
ance and pleasant speaker Her
first lecture was, Beyond the Sea,
in which she compared the natural
wonders of Europe to those of the
United States, to the praise Of our
own country. "There is nothing in
Europe" she said, "to compare with
Niagara, the Yosemite, or National
Park. And, as for comparing Swift
zerland with Colorado, all Switzer-
erland could be put into South Park
in Colorado" So clear and vivid
were her descriptions, that one could
almost see the Coliseum, st. Peters
Cathedral in all its grandeur, Naples
with its beggars, Pompeii in its ruins,
Venice and its gondolas, Paris in its
beauty, and England's court. She
paid a compliment to the gallantry of
American gentlemen, contrasting
with them the Belgian, who harnesses
his wife and dog to market wagon
and drives to market, himself seated
on the wagon swapping his whip
also to the German, whose wife car
ries not only her own parcels, but also
his gun and whatever he may have.
Mrs. Livermore's second lecture was
"Queen Elizabeth" and is considered
by herself her best, being one on
which she has spent the most time
and hardest study.
On the evenings of October 81 and
%, Kate Thayer, assisted by ten
Spanish students, gave excellent con
certs. Miss Thayer sang in Mont
pelier year ago for the first time,
and those who heard her then report
great Improvement. These, with
the usual number Of church fairs, fes-
rivals, and ordinary plays and con
certs, fill the weeks with opportunities
for pleasure.
Three weeks ago, the boys Of the
Seminary held their First Annual
Field Day, which proved a greater
success than many had hoped. The
exercises consisted of races, jumps,
and other tests of skill and strength.
The time in the half-mile run was
2-l9, and the running long jump
measured fifteen feet, two and two
thirds inches. The sack race gave
rise to much mirth as the contestants
tumbled about, endeavoring to hast
en- their speed and finding them
selves rolling on the ground The
prizes, which were entirely burlesque,
were arranged by the ladies and
awarded in the evening at the Stu
dents Lyceum.
The exhibition of the Senior and
Middle Glasses took place last Friday
evening in Seminary Chapel. The
hall was filled with friends of the
school, and the exercises passed off
pleasantly with orations, essays, and
music. S. NJ. II.

The reelection of the Hon. George
+. Edmunds to the United States SEN
ate from Vermont is, of course, an
event which was fully expected, but it
is none the less one of extreme import
ance to the country. Mr.. Edmunds
ct the expiration of his present term,
will have been in the Senate fifteen
years, having been first appointed to
that body in 1866, when vacancy &C.
Cured by the death of Senator Foot.
During his long service he has become,
beyond question, the first member Of
the Senate in Point of skill, fidelity and
personal weight and influence. An al =
dent Repub lean by conviction, he is
far above the mere prejudice partisan
ship, while his profound learning, his
untiring industry, his courage. acu-
men, wit, and genuine eloqEence have
won the respect and admiration of the
country. No member of the Senate
has contributed so much toward max
ing the WORK of that body just, wise,
and efficient. Still in the prime of life,
the country may confidently expect
much from him, and his continuance in
the Senate at a time when the Govern
ment is, as now seems certain, to pass
again into Republican hands, is mat
ter for general eongratulation to all
good citizens.-Nelo York Times.

THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.

We take the following from the Mon
treal lFitnes. We publish it because
or community feel great interest in
the m Engagement of Mr.. Hickson, who,
we here have come to believe to be a
capable and just man, aud who will

which is, and always has been, great
blessing to all-1x3ept to those who
have been patient stockholders in its
''The Grand Trunk half yearly meet
ing held in London last Thursday
passed off satisfactorily. Shareholders
were we'll pleased with the report pre-
scented, and from the fullneSs of their
hearts voted Mr.. dickson, the General
Manager, gratuity of two thousand
five hundred pounds sterling. 1t was
generally admitted that this was the
most satisfactory report ever submitted
and we are glad TO see that Mr.. Hick-
sons services in connection with the
Chicago extension we're on this occasion
properly recognized, as at the previous
half yearly meeting the honor due for
carrying out the western extension
project fell rather to the President, Sir
Henry Tyler. Sir Henry may have GER
tainly fired the shafts, but it is pretty
well understood that he found them al
ready forged by the indefatigable Man

Special correspondence Of the HERALD.

Special correspondence of the HERALD.
If one is to spend few weeks in
Montpelier, the time chosen should
be during the session of Legisla-
ture, for then the usually quiet town
is busy with bustling life, and lect-
ures and concerts furnish evening
amusements.
The sessions at the State House are
always interesting, and the galleries
bear witness to this fact. The mem
bers of the House of Representatives
include all ages, from the young man
in full vigor of life to the old man
bowed with years. There are schol-
ars who know little of manual labor
and stern, rugged farmers ; the cline
gentleman" also is there, and the sol
id business man. The chairman
shows by his rapidity Of speech and
sonorous voice a long experience in
his work. The pages run hitler and
thither attending to the various wants
OF the members.
On the afternoon Of October 81,
deaf mutes from the school in Hart
ford, Connecticut, were exhibited by
their teachers before the House. The
time appointed was half-past two,
but, before the hour arrived, the seats,
galleries, lobbies and aisles were
crowded with spectators. The teach
ers used chiefly the sign-language,
preferring that to the deaf and dumb
alphabet. This language consists in
having a sign for each different OBJ
iect or act ; as, to give the idea of a
hen, the pupil initiated the scratch
ing Of a hen and measured its height.
A girl of about fourteen passed a
good examination in English lIisto-
ry ;.another wrote story told in
signs by her teacher and a boy Of
fifteen worked several practical prob
lens on the blackboard, and amused
his audience with a pantomine of
fishing and hunting. It is remarka-
BILE how readily they interpret the
motions Of their teacher, and how
much they are able to learn.
The Senate, having but thirty
members, is much more cosey and
homelike than the House. Here the
senators are seated in q double semi
circle before the presiding officer
They are fine looking men and seem
to feel greater freedom than is felt
by the Representatives.
Occasionally an evening lecture is
delivered in the Hall of Representa-
tives. The Medical Lecture, already
noticed in these columns, and the
"Fenian Raid" were interesting to
many while the sermon delivered
before the Vermont Bible Society,
by Rev. Mr. Parkhurst, at one time q
minister in this place, was especially
pleasing to his former parishioners.
Temperance lectures have been Civ
en- this fall by Mrs Barney Of Rhode
Island and Miss Frances Willard Of
Chicago. Mrs. Barney's subject was
Gospel Temperance" and she told
Of her own experience in California
and the effect of prayer and works.
Miss Willard spoke of the temper
ance work in general and Of its infu-
