The vermont Bar Association.

We clip the following from the
Daily Verra onter
The eighth annual meeting of the
Vermont bar association was held
Tuesday evening, October 81. There
was very full attendance, all the
leading lawyers in the state being pres
ent. The president, Hon. George N.
Dale, delivered an able and eloquent
address on the present, past and future
of the state bar. A paper on Govern
or Mattocks was read by O. p. Chand-
Ter of Woodstock.
The committee on resolutions relat-
Ing to mesne and final process reported
bill for the recommendation of the
association to the legislature. The
bilfprovided that every writ of mesne
process shall be IL summons only, and
that no attachment can be made on
nlesne process against the property or
person of n debtor without the filing
of an affidavit in certain cases: First.
when the defendant is outside. the
state second, when the defendant is
about to remove his property ; third
when the defendant is about to remove
or dispose OF property. This bill pro
poses to do away with attachment he.

ored by Judge Barrett, who showed
some of the abuses which such u bill
would remedy. 1t also iuet the ap

Special consideration of the bill was
deferred to seven in the afternoon o
October 81.
At a subsequent meeting of the Ba
Association the matter was referred t.

Of the bills thus far introduced by
our county members, the Senate has
passed Senator liale's bill amending
the section of the act of 1884, which
made it optional with towns to assess
Il tax of - cents on dollar to be paid
in money or 20 cents in labor. This
bill provides that the tax assessed
shall be 20 cents, and shall be collected
at such time and in such manner as
the town at its annual meeting sh Ill
vote. Under the old law, where the
tax was voted to be paid in labor there
seemed TO be no provision for collect
ing it, and no discretion allowed the
person having the expenditure in
charge as to what he should allow for
labor. Under the new bill both these
defects are corrected and he can allow
what he thinks right.
The bill relating to the exemption
of debtors wages has been defeated,
so that the law still permits one or two
thousand dollars of the debtors prop
erty to be exempt, if it happens to be
of II particular kind, but refuses the
exemption of the daily means of sub
sistence for the debtors family, even
if it don't amount to more than $40.
The bill aiming at the destruction of
noXious weeds has been defeated, as
also has the bill abolishing the Office
of town agent, and imposing the duties
of that Office upon the selectmen OF
towns

A Washington disnntch SAYS

"There is beginning to be a little
air of mystery about the domestic life
at the White House, and that if Mrs.
Cleveland does not appear in public
for time, it need not be assumed
that she remains at home merely to
avoid meeting jeff Davis daughter
ut Richmond, or because she does not
approve of the statue of Liberty in
New York harbor. Even the ladies
OF the cabinet wear far away look
and speak in an indefinite way when
asked about her, which may perhaps
be gentle way of limiting that TIC
many questions should not be asked.
