From Castleton.
CAsTLEToN, w., Dec. 10, 1881


To THE EDITOR OF THE REGISTER:
Dnring the meeting here last week
of the State Board of Agriculture,
CHANGED to meet Mr.. Henry Lane, OF
Cornwall. 1t was but natural on,
minds should go back 10 boyhood dsyf
and Castleton Seminary. Mr.. Lane
said thirty-five years ago there was but
one school for Addison county, that al
Castleton. My mind at once reverted
to days when Edwin Vallette, Loren r
and Charles Wainwright, j. .. LYON,
lenry Birge, Charles and Ford Nash
z. 5. Sampson, Julius Wilcox, o, ID
s NTH, Augustus Trip, and many others
were here to school. What a host
of names rush upon my memory
" here are they now? If any of these,
or other old pupils, reside in Addison
county, would like to saw TO them
that the old Seminary is once more on
the road to prosperity: Captain A. Z,
Leavenworth (well known in Add.
son county, mas purchased the build
ing, and has organized one of the best
schools ever had in the Seminary. 1t Il
one Of the normal schools. Every
town in the state is entitled to a schol.
arship. Every town in Addison
county shosld be represented in the
school. After repeated visits TO the
recitation rooms, 1 can fully say the
system of instruction is far In advance
OF the old system and is in the Lands of
competent teachers. Let yonr chill.
dren come and tread the grounds trod
by you in your youthful days, and enjoy
the shade of the trees you In youth
placed in the ground. You enioyed
yourself here, win not your children
II they come here they will certainly
be improved mentally.

POLITICAL.

Secretary Frelinghuysen assumed
his duties Monday.
Mr.. Riddleberger has been elected
senator by the Virginia legislature, to
succeed Senator johnson.
Colonel Joyce is member of the
congressional committee on the memo
rial services of President Garfield.
1t is predicted that Senator Sher-
mans 8 per cent. bond bill will be-
come law without much opposi-
ton.
Judge Horace Gray of Massachusetts
has been nominated by the presiden {
for associate justice of the United
States supreme court.
Senator Morrill,, chairman of the sem
ate finance committee, will introduce
bill to enable national bank associa-
tons 10 extend their corporate exist
ence.
The first bill passed either house at
this session of congress, was that grant.
ing the franking privilege to tbejwidow
of President Garfield, which passed the
senate. The franking privilege is en-.
joyed by the widows of Presidents Polk,
Tyler and Lincoln.
A great commotion has been caused
among the star-routers by the announce
ment that Postmaster General James
intends to institute civil snits against
them to recover to the government
the money fraudulenIly obtained by
them. According to the, report, these
suits will be about so in number, and
the amount involved 100000. The
evidence in many cases is said to be
overwhelming.

The lecture was in the nature of specia

Chinese Pirates.

The towns contain due number OF
tame cneats' put the bold, Motoring
highwayman, the truculent see fobber,
must DC sought elsewhere. All along
the biue ana yellow rivers are found
retail buccaneers, who hawk at trfhine
quarry and fatten on slender profits
Ihese poor rogues DO not aspire TO
snip OF tneir own, thoy come padding
out OF muddy crooks IN the smallest Q.
sampans, alarmed, ill-clad, but plentif
fully sineared with fish-oil. IL manfully
confronted they ny; IL grsppled by the
crews OF the fourth-clsss jnnks, which
they select as prizes, they slip like 30
many cells through the hands that grasp
them, and their swimming makes
amends for their lax courage.
| Seldom do any very sinister results
follow one OF these attacks. III the
fresh water pirates prove victorious they
are mild conquerers, and only too Eager
to be on the shore again with their
booty OF rice and corn, stray garments,
ODD fragments OF chain, bits OF copper
and brass hastily ripped from the poop
and cabins, and, perhaps. the glorious
trophy OF o few rafting strings Of
cash.
The dollars and silver bars are gene
rally too we'll hidden to be detected BY
such hurried searcherB; iood, rather
than fortune, is the object Of the foray;
and, except IN cases OF remarkable temp
tation, no life is attempted and no tor
ture resorted to.

Temperance In 1T Adams.

The agitation ofthe temperance cues.
tioa in St. Adams has eliminated in
the closing of all the hotels in that will
age. The proprietors have taken this
step by reason of determination of the
citizens of that village to enforce the
laws of the state regulating the traffic in
intoxicating liquors. The livery men
have indicated. their sympathy with the
landlords by refusing to accommodate
teams coming in from the country, and
no omnibuses are run to the depot.
The hotels are providing for their re-
gular boarders until they can
find accommodations elsewhere. Mean
time private enterprise is moving to
supply the deficiency in the means of
entertaining the strangers within their
gates. AT o citizens meeting Monday
night it was decided to continue the
movement with increased vigor. The
supreme court meets in that village
early in January, and unless accommo-
dations are provided 1t is said the cases
will be adjourned to the next general
term at Montpelier. Threats are made
that the butter market will be removed
to Sheldon or Swanton, but there are
few, the Messenger thinks, who BELIEVE
"that st. Adams is likely to suffer SER
iously or permanently because the
hotels are closed. The majority of peo-
pie look upon it as a great inconve-
nience, but not as deep rooted evil"
The Messenger thus concludes a re-
view of the situation: In the mean time
We are happy to announce that the
stores are open and doing good trade,
peace and plenty reign in the land, and
we have no doubt that the people of
st. Adams will continue to thrive and
prosper. Things will soon adjust them
selves, the excitement will calm down,
and out of it will come something
which will be satisfactory to the town
and citizens" 1t is certainly to be
hoped that the friends of temperance in
st. Adams will proceed resolutely in the
work they have undertaken, and that
they will win O victory that will
strengthen the hands of temperance
workers in all parts of the state and
country. 4, 1

GIVE have received copy OF the
st. Adams Herald, small sheet which
appears to have its reason for existing
in the need of an organ to bewail the
woe which an attempt to enforce the
law has brought upon that village.
The first page is adorned with figure
apparently whitfield out of rough pine
and bearing banner in which is NOR
tised the satisfying word "Fanati-
cism." The thing is perhaps a fac
simile of some crude specimen of pre-
historic art. Connected with this are
the phrases, "Never mind the business
interests of the town." "Reform-
ers Motto: "Death to prosperity,
death to trade, death to every
thing, only fame for ourselves"
The leading article has q displayed
head which reads as follows: ga Dark
Pall-Hanging over our unfortunate
Village.-Its Enemies Jubilant-Our
Tradesmen Melancholly-Half a mil.
lion dollars of Property Inactive-A
Cherries Christmas-A Dread New
Year-Subordination of Individual to
General Interest-Less Zeal and More
Common Sense Needed" From q Pc
rusal of the paper we learn that St. AL
bans, which was once prosperous and
happy village, with several nice hotels
and perhaps some other business, has
received staggering blow which has
gone far to ruin everything and convert
the place into bowling wilderness OF
woe and thirst. This sad result is due
to the action of parties who, for GER
tain reasons-perhaps on account of a
disgusting prejudice against drunken
ness and disorder-have wickedly and
uDjustifiably undertaken to make the
laws Of the state live letter in st. AL
bans. Now the st. Adams hotels, like
most of our Vermont hotels, gener-
ously furnished intoxicating beverages
to whomsoever was athirst. The mis-
cradle Temperance fanatics" seeing
that there was no use in trying 10 put
an end to the low groggeries unless the
criminality Of the hotels was also aha
ted, invited the latter institutions TO
close their bars under penalty of the
law. Whereupon the hotel men, Justly
Indignant at this unwarrantable inter
ference with their rights to violate the
laws of the land, combined and closed
their doors entirely, with the intent to
show st. Albaus the displeasure they
felt at 1t. Apparently they also invest
ed cash In starting the st. Adams Her
aid, In order to puff themselves up and
show how the place only exists by fa-
.yor Of the hotels, how everything was
