EDITOR CHIEF:
Three hundred and fifty years ago to-
day, there died at Leicester Abbey, in
England, man famous in his day and
generation and whose name is still pow
erful enough to awaken a host of recol-
lections among English-speaking people;
q man who, greater in intellect and in
that nameless art which goes hand-in-
hand with subtle policy than his King,
was during his meridian of glory his
equal in royal state-Cardinal Wolsey !
At first only butchers son at Ipswich,
his talents and certain Machiavelian
aptness to take the current when it
served, elevated him above those born
to hereditary rank. It is told of him
that when he Travelled his retinue was Of
princely magnificence, his train consist
ing Of eight hundred servants, his pal
aces were furnished with royal splendor
and that he gave one as present to his
Sovereign, Hampton Court, which had
cost in building ali enormous sum.
Hume has best described his character,
Unsuitable in his acquisitions, but still
more magnificent in his expense; of OK
tensive capacity, but still'more unboun-
ded enterprise /; ambitious Of power, but
still more DESTROYS of glory; insinuating,
engaging, persuasive; and by turns
lofty, commanding; naughty to his
equals, but afable to his dependents !;
oppressive to the people, but liberal to
his friends; more generous than grateful {;
less moved by injuries than by con-
tempt; he was framed to take the as
cendant in every intercourse with 9th
ers, but exerted this superiority of
nature with such ostentation as exposed
him to envy, and made every one willing
terecall the original inferiority, or rath-
or mcanness Of his fortune" Fortune
smiled on him for years, but lie lived to
sec his proudest hopes decay, himself
scorned and treated with contumely by
that Prince in whose service he had i'm
periled his souls salvation, and to cry in
bitterness:
Farewell, long farewell to allmy greatness!
This is the state of man; to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope, tomorrow blossoms,
And bears his biushing honors thick upon him;
The third day, comes frost, killing frost;
And when he thinks good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripenng-nips his root,
And then he falls as do. have ventured,
Like little, wanton boys that swim on bladders,

you SIGH for your native land at this
witching season! l can not dwell on it
at any length, as my space is limited,
but must tell you what a merry party
we formed for sugar-house picnic, one
day last week. There were some friends
visiting US from New Orleans, and we
joined forces with our friends the VS.
in this parish, to mako a gala day of it..
It would be impossible for me to tell you
or for you to conceive what happy day
it was, as you are not acquainted with
all the members that composed the party.
The mere act of visiting the sugarhouse
was trite enough; it was the merriment
that was created by one or two of the
blithest spirits have ever met. What a
power one person may possess Of ditfus-
ing kindly feeling, good cheer and glad
ness throughout u large assemblage! So
we Toasted all day upon the witticisms
and merry jests of one friend in particu-
lar, as we'll as upon the saccharine stores
of the coolers and canes. You would
have laughed if you had seen one Of the
city gents peeling cane! He insisted
upon making first attempt, and the
result was such a piece Of awkwardness
as it would be difficult to imagine.
One Of our simple diversions that day,
was watching the trains pass. You
know the railroad inter sects many Of the
plantations in this section, only few
steps from the sugar-houses. Three pas
senger trains passed in the space of an
hour; the Texas East and West, and

HARDwIcK-B. N. Davis, Esq, of Danville L,
A. Parks of Passumpsic and L. R. Goodrich of
this town, commissioners for appraisal OF land
belonging to the late Moses Belongs estate,
which the railroad company purpose using in the
erection of permanent station buildings here,
examined the land on the 18th. We understand
their award was much less than the company
previously offered for it.....We understand that
the railroad company is about building a wall
along the river bank at the clay pit above Norris
about mile east of this station. This is to pre-
vent the track sliding into the river. Miss
Della Ford's school at East Hardwick closed on
Friday last with picnic in Stevens grove in the
afternoon A splendid day and pleasant occa-
sion are reported by those attending, The To-
cal west-bound freight and gravel train came
in collision near the clay pit mile east of this
station on the 10Th. Two men, Joe Morse OF
Danville and Mitchell Banyea of Swanton, en-
ployed on the gravel train, were injured by jump
ing off, the former breaking leg and the latter
spraining an ankle. The freight had orders to
stop at the clay pit and throw off derrick. The
gravel train, not being notified, followed the
freight from East Hardwick 80 closely as to pre-
vent checking the speed of the train in season to
avoid collision. The caboose OF the freight was
damaged somewhat and had the rear set Of trucks
knocked into the river. Some OF the forward
works OF the engine were also slightly damaged
The discovery of those breaking into the Ke-
logg house, noticed last week, has been made in
the persons of three of our small village boys all
less than dozen years old. No legal steps were
taken to punish the offenders, provided all dam
age to the buildings and other property was re-

WATERBURY CENTER.-A correspondent, sign
ing himself "a Friend of the School," writes
"Will you allow me to say good word for the
Green Mountain Seminary, advertised in your
paper. 1t is located four miles from Water
bury depot, among beautiful mountains, Camel s
Hump, with its majestic peak, on one side, and
glorious old Mansfield on the north, in plain view
The building is large and well adapted to the
wants Of the school. A commercial department
has been added, which will be under the charge
OF Professor A. M. Marsh, which is a guarantee
that this department will not be excelled in the
state. The classical department will be under
the charge of Rev. s. d. Church, who graduated
from the Bangor, Maine, theological school. as
the best classical scholar Of his class Special
attention is given to those who are preparing to
teach. The advantages in every way are the best
and expenses less than in any other school OF
similar grade The health and morals of the
students are carefully looked after, and every
thing is done that is possible to make this place
in which parents will feel that their children are
safe. Mrs. Anthony of Providence, Rhode
Island, and Mrs. Webster of Boston, who have
been visiting friends here for a few weeks past,
have left for their homes.
