At Windsor, July ., 1777, convention Of
delegates from the several towns in what
was then called the New Hampshire Grants
adopted a constitution for the political or
ganzation of the State of Vermont one Sec
ton of which declared that some University in
this State ought 10 be established by direction
of The General Assembly" In 1910 the first
charters of townships were granted by the
authority Of the State OF Vermont, and in

acres, was reserved for the use Of q "Scmina-
ry or College-tLe aggregate being about 80,
900 acres, mostly situated in the unsettled
and mountainous parts of the State. In 1889
Ira Allen presented 10 the Legislature a me-

college and suggesting Burlington as suita-
BILE place for it. lie offered to give for it
four thousand pounds, and to this were adj

pounds. After long discussion the Legisla-
ture decided TO establish the university of
Vermont and to locate it at Burlington, and
the corporators held their first meeting in
this city Nov. 3, 1901 and in June, 1909,
they set off square of SO acres, at that time
covered with stately pine trees, on which Ia
erect the University buildings. In 1904 the
work Of clearing of the lot was begun and
in the course Of the years following, buildings
were erected on substantially the present

them.

which seemed TO contain some of the val

have to say that the three samples OF ore
combined contained nine ounces of silver
per ton; lead 24t per cent.
This assay is very encouraging, as the
vein is believed to be extensive, and 1t is

1t is worked deeper in the earth. The

are making endcavors to organize COM

Escape.

James w. Hart John Engel and Samuel
Clark took French leave of the county pris-
on Saturday. The escape was made with
the aid of a knife and piece of broomstick.
With these the prisoners loosened the
stones in the wall, striking the
place where two former prisoners, Ar.
ter and Treass, escaped some years ago.
After making hole in the wall they let
themselves down into the yard with tn C
aid of poker and strips of blankets made
into rope. 1t is surmsed that they were
assisted over the outer wall by friends on
the outside. Hart was awaiting trial for
embczzling the Singer sewing machine
company out of about $1,000 The other
two were serving out their sentences, The
building is an old structure and has been
considered unsafe for years. 1t is dis
grace to the county and Il laughing stock
to criminals. Ono of the men escaping o
was minus leg, and the fact that it re-
quires no agility to get out of the building
and over walls, making it a laughing stock
to the community. A reward has been
offered for the capture of the escaped.

grade of about sixty feet to the mile. Rail-

eyes upon this route tor years. a vast
lumber district will be opened up and one
OF the finest water powers in this part of

is built. As the right parties have the mat
