PAUPER LAWS.

To tho Editor OF the Free Press:

To the Editor OF the Free Press:
In addition to the list of subjects named
in the FREE Press OF late date, which Will
claim the attention of the next Legislature,
is the subject of the States pauper laws,
particularly as they affect the liability of
towns, rs to each other for the support of
paupcrs coming from one town in the State
into another town to reside. BY the act of
1856, No. A. the former pauper laws.
which had come to be well understood by
many years of administration and judicial
Interpretation, were in their main features
abolished, or greatly changed and revolu-
tioniled, and the new act was put into such
form as TO make it the standing puzzle of
/ lawyers and judges ever since to tell what
/ Is its legal meaning. 1t is specially re
marlab.o in this respect, that it under
take to reform the English language by
gbJiIshing the word Settlement or
/ illegal settlement, terms employed and
/ known in law and administration for more
than 100 years, and substituting therefor
/ the word residence in a new and techni-
cal sense, to the utter confusion and per
version of its ordinary and proper mean
ing. Thus, if person comes from town
4, TO town b. to reside using that word
as the whole English speaking world uses
/ NJ and resides in town b. for any time less
tnan three years, he does not by this act,
reside in town b.. but resides aud has
his ''residence' III town A. in which he
! last resided for the term of three full years
maintaining himself and family
Under the provisions of this act is there
any law left Tor the town TO which a per
son comes to reside and becomes charge
able as pauper by which such town can
recover its expenses of support from the
town IN which that person last resided for
tho term Of full three years maintaining
himself and family No one can tell.
The judges are so uncertain, that they have
hitherto declined to inform us. II the case
were one OF transient person, the answer
would be plain under the old laws. Sc
again, under the old laws, derivative set
Elements were provided for;-as, that {
wife should follow and have the settlement
of her husband and legitimate children tn,
settlement Of their father. How it is now
who can tell. The condition of thing
clearly needs setting Alright X.

licensed fertilizers No 10, Effect Of fer
filters on the composition of corn, analysis
OF hayJ No. 49, Testing milk at dreamer
les; No. II, Test of dairy COWS at Vermont

THE FULLER LIGHT BATTERY.
Report to the Ordnance Department in
Relation to the Late Muster.

At the request of the chief of ordnance
United States army Col. Levi X. Fuller,
commanding Light Battery, Vermont Na
tional Guard has made careful report in
regard to his battery of 80 breech load
ing steel rifles while in camps Bradford.
The battery was never in better form than
at this muster. They fired several hun
dred rounds of cartridges and thirty OF
she'll The latter were fired at a target
SKIP feet, placed about mile distant from
the guns. All the shell hit within a space
of l1xl6 feet, and 10 within the Sxl2. This
is close firing.
Col. Fuller's suggestions to the ordnan ce
department. in regard to guns, harnesses,
etc. will be Of much value, and he is emit
tied TO great credit for all the improve
ments made in drill and the management Of
his battery. It is but simple justice to him
TO say that the record of the firing of she'll
is second to none, and Vermont may well
be proud of its light battery.
