A prisoner recently committed to
Windsor Prison writ S that he is happily
disappointed in the place, and says he
does not believe. taking everything into
c nsideratiOn, that this is much worse
than the situation of Il large share of the
human family who live in crowded cities
and work for starvation wages. All the
men connected with the Institution, so
far as my observation goes, are gentle
men, and II Il man tries to do what is
right, he will have no cause for COM
plant. The sanitary arrangements are
of the best, and no pains are spared to
make enforced stay AS agreeable as pos
sible, consistent with proper government
and order.
Presiding Elder Noe prints, in tn
Rutland Herald. an article on the
boundary question. In opening he says:
There seems to be such n misapprehen-
sion Of facts in the report of the COM
mi.tee appointed at the late session of
the Vermont conference, To whom was
referred the question of the boundary
between the Vermont and Troy CON
ference. and as said report fatty contra
ulcls lle most ftllaUle statements MADE
on the floor of the Vermont conference
by such men as Samuel Huntington.
Judge Carney, Hon. l.. ii. Kellogg, G.
c. Thrall and other laymen as well as
several ministers; men who live in the
territory in question and who know the
actual condition of the churches, and is
made in the face of a memorial which
was before the committee signed by n
large proportion of the official men of
the district. it seems TO me that truth,
justice and fairness demand that IA
statement be made of known facts"
Mr.. Noe then goes on to show the actual
position of the district in regard to this
question, which is familiar to our
readers. He concludes: "Much of
this report is AZ insult to the ministers
and laymen CT the Burlington district,
and can only tend to further ALLEVIATE the
churches from the conference. 1t is no
pleasure for us to bring these matters
before the public; and but for the re-
~markably reckless statements referred
to, aud to the fact that the v%eracity of IA
number of ministers and laymrn was
thus called In question, we would have
been silent.r
