have any aut hority' in the matter aud
are letting i, delft; aud | "svmpsthize
with them" 'tgaln. The Judge of probate
and county clerk, am informed, make
no personal claims III the matter, and
abstain from comments upon the sub
ject unless spoken to about it.. All of
which is quite proper, as the public
convenience alone should govern in the
matter. There are undoubtedly some
things to be said upon both sides of the
question. On the one side it is claimed
that the clerk is an officer of the wnole
county and should receive the prefer
ence. On the other side it is urged that
the whole county will be just as well
served by the clerk in an office a little
more retired from the street AS it would
if he occupied a crystal palace upon
the most crowded street i'll town; that
those doing business in his Office are to
large extent lawyers and county
officials, to whom a few steps further
into the hall would make no difference:
that there is a much larger number of
visitors to the probate office, and of a
class less likely u be acquainted with
the intricacies of the long and compar-
atively dark hall through which en-
trance is obtained; that ladies, many of
whom have occasion TO visit the pro-
bate office, would be much better ac-
commodated and less annoyed if the
front suite of offices were used for the
probate business, so that upon opening
the street door they could see the sign
at glance and avoid wandering up
and down through the long, dark hall
and perhaps knocking to inquire in or
der TO find the Office they are looking
for. And, besides, many come with
teams and hitch them in the street in
front, while doing business in the Of
fee. Of course, they would prefer the
location where they can occasionally
glance at their teams through the win
dow, instead of running out every few
minutes through long passageway to
see if their teams are quiet. If it were
question of personal preference or ia
vor, it would not be strange that there
should be hesitation. But neither of
the gentlemen to occupy the Offices are
entitled to be considered at all. 1t is
purely question of public convenience
and nothing else. The longer the de-
cision is delayed the more discussion
and the greater the difficulty of settling
it satisfactorily. And if the Judges do
no decide soon, | fear | may have occa-
sion to "sympathize with them" again.

A correspondent writes the Troy

Of The town of Salisbury, VT, there is a
small stream that comes rumbling and
tumbing down the steep mountain side
in the very shadow of "Rattesnake
rocks" 1t empties its crystal waters
into Lake Dunmore, lake made some
what famous by Thompson's romance
of the "Green Mountain Boys" The
stream was very appropriately called
| by the early settlers and all others
"Sucker brook" from the fact that in
the springtime myriads of suckers
swim up from the lake to deposit their
spawn and are caught by the wary fish
ermen, who with torch and spear haunt
the place nightly during the season.
Farther up the side of the mountain the
stream comes down over almost per-
pendicular rocks for hundreds of feet

years ago Troy's illustrious citizen, the
late Gen. John E, Wool, accompanied

were so much admired it was suggested

consultation, "a bottle of wine was brok-

such occasions was performed, aud it

called Llama falls" This name was
selected as compliment to Gen. Wool,
