Landlord Boynton has just put in d
fine bird's-eye maple and marble top
office counter; also marble bowls for
washing purposes, and the new hotel

him that Nature might stand up and

In the absence of our associate we
take the liberty, although entirely
without his knowledge or consent, to
to do what we know his modesty would
forbid US doing were he with us, to
wit: to quote some of the compliment
tary notices of the State press with
reference to Mr.. Fisk's position at
Montpelier. 1t is due to the town of
Morristown that the creditable posi-
ton taken by her representative re-
celve the same recognition in our local
papers that has been so kindly ex-
tended by the outside press. We give
below extracts from the Burlington
Free Press, st. Adams Messenger,
Montpelier Journal and other papers
Mr.. Fisk of MorSstown is a conscientious legis-
lator and has had considerable influence. He is
a lawyer and editor; and while pleading for the
independence of Proctor the other day he man
aged to get in an advertisement for the Rutland
Express, with some editorial remarks thereon,
which were well received by the HOuSe.-Free
Press.
Mr.. Fisk of MOrriStOWn made an excellent and
argument in favor of the division
of Rutland, and against the propriety of submit
ting the matter to the popular VOte.-JOuI7lGl.
Mr.. Fisk of MOrriStOwn, editor of the NEWS
AND CITIZEN OF that town, is one of the strong

The forcible speech of Mr.. Fisk of Morristown, |
in favor of the Proctor bill yesterday, has been
receiving much favorable mentiOn.-Free Press, |
The claims presented in favor of the bill for |
the division of Rutland, were based mainly on |
the facts found in the report of the committee. |
vestigated the matter, and examined the loca-
ton; it was committee composed of upright |
sensible men, of good Judgment and the report |
presented by it should influence the house, for |
and in the place of whom the committee had
acted. Henry Fisk, of MOrristown, made most
elling argument in favor OF the measure in
aeea, IL said by many to be the best preScn-
tation of the claims on that side of the case;
there is no doubt 1t shared that honor with the |
of Col. ManSur, chairman of the com
mlttee, who was of course thoroughly well-poSt- |
ed in all the attitudes in which the questions re-
garding the matter could be presented. MeSSrS |
Stanton of RoXbury, Knapp of Middebury, and |
several others spoke in favor of the bill. The |
last named got a point on Poland by showing |
that the town of Waterville was made up in Just |
the same way, and for the same reasons that |
Proctor asks to be Incorporated; test vote |
came on the question of the amendment of Mr.. |
Hogan; yea and nay vote resulted in "a for the |
amendment and 1874 against it.-MesSeIger.
