The inconvenience to which the
travelling public are almost daily subject,
through the quarrelings between the
Ceatral Vermont and the Connecticut
River railroad companies, We're fully
illustrated on Friday, when VALLEY
conductor refused to hold his train al
Bellows Falls five minutes to accommo-
date several passengers off from the
Rutland division en- route to New York
and other points, some of whom were
anxiously hurrying to sick relatives,
because the orders not to hold even
minute were imperative" SO long as
the Central conductors are strictly for
hidden trying to make this connection,
if to do SO it becomes necessary to make
up time. The passengers were thus
obliged to stay in Bellows Falls over
night, or 60 by circuitous and expen-
sive route to their destination. Like in
conveniences are experienced nearly
every day, and suffering public begin
to utter loud complamts.-C Correspondence

The motion for new tri II in the case
of Rev. j. W. Cole, the Charlemont wife
beater, against f. A. Hall of the Gazette
because the verdict was not in accord

ruled The principal ground was thai
the evidence of actual blows upon Mr.,
Coles wife was not sufficient as the wit
nesses alleged that Mrs Cole made the
statements in the presence of the plant
if, which he denied. The Judge ruled,
however, that the marks on her person
and other evidence in the case sustained
the verdict.

For comparison with our present law
it is of interest to cite the first law
on record in relation to drunkenness, passed
by the Legislature of the State of Vermont,
dating February session, 1779 ''Be it
enacted and it is hereby enacted by the
representatives of the freemen of the State
of Vermont in General Assembly, met and
by the authority of the same, that if any
person shall be found drunken SO that he Or
she be thereby bereaved and disabled in the
use Of his or her reason and understanding,
appearing either in his or her speech, ges-
ture or behaviour and be thereof convicted,
he or she shall forfeit, as a fine, the sum of
eight shillings Qess than $2) for every such
offence to the treasurer of the town where
the offence is committed for the use of the
poor therein, and for want Of goods where
On to make distress, the offender or offend
ers shall sit in the stocks, there to remain
not to exceed three hours nor less than one
hour" The same Legislature passed
license law, nominations to be made by Sc
lectmen or magistrates and to be approved
by the county court. Also if any person
become tavern hunter, y Lis name should
be posted and the tavern-keeper must not
sell to him, and if he still persisted frequent
ing the tavern, he should sit in the stocks.
Also punished by whipping, 10 to Is stripes
for unlicensed parties to sell any drinks,
cider, etc.
