The body of Timothy F. Griswold, a
well-knoWn citizen of Burlington, was
found on the shore of Lake Cnamplain
just above the city on Wednesday eve
ming. It is not known whether the result
was an accident or suicide. 1t appeared
to have been in the water twelve hours.
Mr. Griswold had been in the insur-
ance business here many years, and was
one of the best known men in the city.
He was about 80 years of age, unmarried,
and for years past has been in poor
health
The directors of the St. Adams Trust
company have made statement, by
which it appears that the company, at the
time of suspension, had on deposit with
the Vermont National bank the sum of
$50 900, and held demand paper to the
amount of $35, 900, which was secured by
pledge of stock of that bank. When this
paper was discounted, the stocks of the
Vermont National bank was considered
to be worth more than par and the Sc
curity was regarded generally as of the
highest order. 1t is of course hoped that
a considerable portion of this sos 900
may yet be saved to the company.

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION

WIND RIVER, Wyoming, Aug. IA.
The President and party are encamp-
ed at the forks of the Wind
River, upon the same ground
occupied last year by Gen. Sheridan.
The camp was named Camp Bishop,
in honor of Mr.. H. R. Bishop of New
York, who was a membe of the Gen
erals party, and the name has been
retained for the present camp. The
party will remain here for to-day for
the double purpose of affording an
opportunity for various members to
hunt and fish and to arrange the pack
loads. This is the supply camp,
whence the party will have to take
on the packs rations and forage
enough to last through to the Yellow
stone Park. The President, who is
in fine health and spirits, has gone

a short distance up the main fork OF
the Wind River, wrongly called by
the people of this country Demon
Creek, where the President last eve
ming caught some fine trout, and al
the other members of the party have
gone either hunting or fishing.
The march of 10 miles from CAM

POSTAL TELEGRAPHY.

The telegraph strike has thus far
commanded pu bile respect by its firm
and peaceful conduct 1t has I'M
doubtedly done more than any similar
movement to concentrate general at
tention upon the power and the pos
sibility of extensive organizations of
capital. Factory labor is largely of
foreign origin, and the associations
known as trades-unions have been
under the control of foreign traditions
and leadership. But the telegraph
operators, like the railway engineers,
are chiefly American, and of charac-
teristic American intelligence and
feeling. This fact introduces entire
ly new elements into the situation.
and sugges is very different questions.
The assured continuance of regular
transport and communication through
out the cOuntry-that is, of the con-
tinuous undistrbed service of rail-
roads and telegraphs-is absolutely
indispensable to the great vital ma
tional interests. But that regular and
proper continuance depends, not upon
capital, considered as a separate
force, but upon labor. That is to
say, certain defined and organized
bodies of intelligent American citi
zens, united by common interest,
hold the peace and prosperity of the
country in their hands.
The word ''labor' has hitherto de-
scribed a huge ignorant mass of men
and women, and "capital' the com
bination of intelligence and political
power. But in America this distinc
ton has largely disappeared; and a:

ED FREEMAN: The back-door
liquor traffic yielded its usual fruit
in our town, on Christmas day.
Two men got themselves we'll
soaked with bad whisky and con-
cluded to clean out a place in
which it is understood liquor is
sold. Things in the house were
generally smashed and the pro-
prietor somewhat bruised. They
were arrested &c, and will be ready
for another turn as soon as the
Quilted place can be repaired.
Every sensible person in this
town knows that an enforcement
of the law would close every such
place. 1t is possible that we have
too much conscience down this way
as well as in your city.
This state of things cannot con-
tinue forever. An outraged people
will rise up bye and bye, and hurl
these recreant officials from power.

President Wilson's Lecture.

On the evening of December 10,
1882, in Chapel Hall of the West
Virginia University, the first lee
ture of this years course was de-
livered by President W. L. Will
son, on THE Roman Senate" For
nearly two hours he held the
breathless attention of the audi
ence. His musical voice, his grace
full bearing, his sublime simplici-
ty, make him the acceptable mas
ter of his hearers. His minute,
ready, extensive familiarity with
ancient history; his almost perso-
nal acquaintance with the distin-
guished personages Of antiquity ;
his ability to gather magical
charm around every fact that he
touched upon his peculiar skill in
arousing and surprising the ex-
pectations of his audience his
chaste, graphic style and his good
natured humor-these breathed
new life into the dry bones of Ro-
man history. He marshalled be-
fore us the grand old Senators; he
hurled them into the conf1agration
of debate. Selections from their
speeches he huently read from the
original. The wild rabble were
reproduced. We could almost hear
the voice of Cicero and the foot
balls of.Cassr. We forgot. that Rome
was, but is not.
But an attempted report would
be injustice. The lecture inspired
in US desire to read Roman his
tory more, and desire to hear Mr..
Wilson again. He filled our hearts
with sunshine, and then sent US
forth upon our Christmas vaca-
ton. =?

CORRESPONDENCE.
A Pleasant Surprise.

ED. FREEMAN: On the evening
of Dec. 3Oth, 1882, my house was
besieged and taken by a large group
of the citizens of Grafton, not for
any bad purpose, but to cheer and
make happy.
The first we knew of any unusu-
al crowd being near us, was the
sound of music most elegantly rem
dered by the "Grafton Ccrnet Band"
There was rap al the door, and on
opening, here was living, moving
multitude, armed, not with weap-
ons of destruction usually EN- ploy-
ed in warfare, but with flour, sugar,
coffee, tea, fruit cans, potatoes, APP
piles, brooms, toilet soap, and some
cash, with other things too tedious
to mention.
These were represented upon the
part of the churches, by Methodists
Episcopal, Methodists Protestant,
Presbytcrians, Baptists, and Unit
ed Brethren.
Of the Christian Unions, the Y.
M. C. A. was largely represented,
headed by their President, J. D.
Clayton.
The VIC. I. U. was led by their
President, Mrs. M. M. Love.
The Ministerial ranks were rep
resented in the persons of Rev.
Warden, Pastor ofthe M. E. Church
of Grafton, and G. D. Holden, Pas
tor of Preston Circuit of the U.
B. Church. In addition to the
above, there were number not
members of any church.
After the good things were piled
up in the kitchen, a presentation
speech was made in behalf of the
crowd, by Mr.. S. Shaw To this we
responded as best we could, but
words on such an occasion, seem to
be meaningless; and then it is so
hard to get hold of them.
After singing the "Home of the
Soul" Rev. Warden led in prayer.
We were invited to another room,
where Mrs. Love made some beau
tiful presentation remarks in be-
half of the w. G. T. U. of Grafton
We endeayored to assure them of
our confidence in them and their
work.
After the band discoursed some
more music, all retired in perfect
order, leaving myself and family
we'll pounded" but in no wise in
. jured. The occasion marks one of
the green spots along life's path
way! l wish l could tell the
amount of good this act has accom-
plished; not only in the support of
human life, but as token of conf
dence in an humble servant of the
people. In behalf of myself and
family, l wish to thank all who so
kindly participated in this sur
prise. E. HARPER.

Fact and Fun.

EATING A BoUoUET.-At a no.
tel in this city, Saturday, a couple
from the country, of Milesian ex-
traction, took seats at the dinner
table. Directly after young cou-
pie seated themselves opposite, and
the young man took stalk of eel
cry from the dish and commenced
eating it. The old lady opposite
looked at him a moment with an
air of disgust, and then nudged
her husband, and said in a stage
whisper, "D'ye moind the black
guard ateing the bokay ?"-Osaoe-

"KAsE l WANT THE CooN."-
following little story will bear close
reading and study:
A man was carrying a coon he
had caught, when he met three
little boys in the road. All of them
said, excitedly: "Mister, give me
that coon; give me that coon give
me that coon, mister "Well,
boys, I'll tell you what 1 will do.
If you tell me the party you belong
to, and why, I'll give it to the boy
who gives the best reason for his
faith" "I'm a Republican, Ebe-
cause that party saved the Union"
said one. Pm a Greenbacker, be-
cause that party is in favor of plen-
ty Of money" When the time of
the third boy came, he said: "rm

Drinking Habits.
Court and Criminals Drunk.

Judge Wylie, it is said, was drunk
at the time he charged the jury in
the case of the State ofOhio against
young Victor, formerly of Zanes-
vile. No doubt young Victor
thought his life in danger, and kill
ed his man in self-defense. And
yet Mr.. Victor will never cease to
regret, that he, while under the in
fuence Of liquor, sent a young man,
also under the influence of liquor,
unprepared, into the presence Of
his Maker. Doubtless he ought
not to have been punished, and
yet he will be punished as long as
he lives. Had he been using his
leisure hours to improve his mind,
he would not be compelled to regret
that he killed human being.
1t seems to have been drunken
spree all around. The young men
appear to have been drinking beer
before the difficulty occurred, and
Judge Wylie, who presided at the
trial, is said to have been drunk.
The Columbus Journal speaks as
though Judge Wylie contracted
the habit of getting drunk when
young in years. Don't all drunk
ards? If a man don't contract the
hibit of drinking intoxicating liq-
ors when young, nine times out Of
ten, he will never contract such a
habit. The world may not know
the young man is drunkard, be-
cause the young man may succeed
in deceiving the public, yet he may
be drunkard all the same. The
people are sometimes surprised to
discover that citizen we'll advanc-
ed in years, is using intoxicating
liquors to excess. That same citi-
zen, in all probability, had been US
ing intoxicating liquors to excess
for many years, but kept that
knowledge from the people. That
citizen knew, perhaps, for a quart
err of century, that he was a
drunkard. The hibit of using liq-
uors to excess is usually contracted
in youth. What fearful things
these habits are! They get a foot
hold and refuse to be dispossessed.
is an old and true saying that'It's
hard to teach an old dog new
tricks. GAINESVILLE Courier.
