Rev V. NJ Hardy of West Randolph, delivered
lecture in the Congregational vestry, entitled,
" From Boston Harbor to Westminster Bridge"
being an account of his voyage across the Allan
tic and rapid tour Of sight seeing in England. As
only a short and not very general notice had been
given, the audience was not large. The lecture,
however was extremely interesting and was well
appreciated. ....William b. Marston advertises

....E Elisha Burgess has gone to Bethel to work in

week load OF hay in charge of Philip Lyttle, Jr.,
tipped over in the road some distance east OF the
village, and the two horses which were drawing
it, breaking loose, ran down the hill into the vii
lage, leaped the fence in front OF Mrs. Maria
Columns house, and brought up violently against
the house The door-knob and a blind from one
OF the windows were broken off, and the horses
somewhat bruised but no serious damage was
done them. Some surprising facts have been
discovered by an examination OF the grand list
just completed. The list OF the town has de-
creased about $50 since last spring, indicating
that some S3G, 900 worth of property has mysteri-
ously disappeared during the past year. There
are twenty-five persons in town whose list is
upwards OF $50 or these fifteen report them
selves rs poorer than year ago. As there have
been no failures in town during the year and the
times have not been unusually hard, we await
an explanation of this remarkable increase of pow
erty. -. The third teachers meeting will be held

ELY.-The Vermont Copper Mining Company
has decided to give up the old concern which has
been about thirty years in existence, and new
company has been formed and taken possession
OF the property. The business Is to be managed
by Mr.. Cain of New York, an experienced and
intelligent business man, familiar with mining In
all its details. He Is to be employed by the COM
pany to oversee in person all the departments OF
work. The causes which have led to this are not
easily explained to those outside and unfamiliar
with the business Mr.. Ely, whose name the
town bears, Is an old man OF strictest integrity
and honorable in the highest degree-one OF ma
lures truest noblemen; but man Of eighty
years has not the vigor and vim to oversee so
large concern. At one time about thousand
men and boys were employed, and the smelling
furnaces are the most extensive Of any in New
England, il not in the United States The recent
decease OF Mrs Ely has Frustrated him greatly
and decided him to do what he has long contem-
pated-gve up the care and responsibility Of the
whole concern, and make over his interest in IL to
his grandson, Colonel Ely Ely Goddard The
vein OF copper has been narrowed or pnched
giving rise to various rumors that 1t was pegging
out, etc, but Mr.. Cain, who IL an expert in the
business, after careful examination, gives a
favorable report, and others recently employed in
surveying inside say there is no trouble It Is
not uncommon for vein Of ore to pinch or mar
row, and again widen. Sometimes break
occurs, as though some convulsion of nature had
caused an upheaval and raised portion of vein
above the common level, after which 1t continues
its course as before. The new company propose
to have the work done by contract, and pay every
man each month for just what he does, which Is
just, of course. The wages paid here have been
higher rate than in any other mines. and will
probably be somewhat less hereafter. 1t Is pro-
posed to overhaul the old dumps, and railroad
Is talked OF in the near future connecting with
the river road at some point, which will greatly
essen the cost OF trans ta m Some are leaving
mostly Englishmen working in the drift. The
furnace men are apparently willing to remain
The new company is composed Of men in New
York, and will organize under the laws of that
state Mr. Ely's interest in the mine was about
half million. With man OF pluck and energy
at the head, such as Mr.. Cain appears to be, we
predict prosperity for the Ely mines

Ex.SENAToR THURMAN, Of Ohio, in con-
versation at Louisville, Kentucky, few
days ago said that he believed the demo-
Gratis would carry Ohio at the next election.
He thought that the passage of the tariff
commission bill might tend toward putting
that question in the background in the ma
tional campaign. As for the next demo
cratic presidential candidate he hoped that
a man would be nominated who could COM
mand the votes of the party, aud he believed
that the democrats have enough votes TO elect
such man.

National Bank Extension.

BY the vote of 1875 to 67 the house of rep
resentatives on Friday passed Mr.. Crspo's
bill providing for the extension of the char
ters of the national banks. The new fea-
lures Of the bill are substantially as follows
A national bank having not more than $3.50, 600
capital need hereafter keep no more than $40, 600
in bonds on deposit with the United States treas
urer the present limit being $4,000.
The privilege OF withdrawing circulation on de-
post OF legal tender notes, conferred by the act
OF 1874 il limited by requirement that ninety
days notice OF intention shall be given, and, fur
Their by a regulation that not more than five mil
lion dollars OF circulation shall be withdrawn In
one month by all the banks
Banks are to be required to surrender for pay.
ment called bonds held as security for circulation
within thirty days Of the maturity OF the call. In
case other bonds are not substituted, but the cir
cuation represented by the called bonds is with.
drawn, the amount is not to be reckoned as part
OF the five million dollars mentioned In the last
paragraph.
Hereafter banks may take out circulation up tc
the limit of ninety per cent Of the par value Of
bonds deposited, which bonds must not exceed
OF large capital are under restrictions rs to the
amount Of circulation.
Passed by a vote of nearly two 10 one, the de
bate on this measure shows that the nationa
banking system is popular and is in no imme
diate danger of being abolished. The re
strictions placed upon the power of the
banks to withdraw their circulation are sal
utary and will be endorsed by no one more
heartily than by the judicious friends Of tn,
system.
