We particularly request the proprietors
of all summer hotels, whose cards appear
in the REGISTER, to forward items of in
terest connected with the summer bust
ness.
We hope to include among the number
OF our subscribers every hotel of any
prominence, or well-conducted boarding
house, which entertains visitors from
outside the state, so that the REGISTER
will become a complete index of the sum-
mer travel in Vermont, and fill long
felt want among the guests of the various
Vermont hotels, for information of
friends or acquaintances also in the state.
This would undoubtedly lead to much
visiting, as the state is small and none
of its hotels are very far apart, whilst
every road in Vermont offers the most
delightful scenery. A little combined
effort on the part of our hotel-keepers in
these directions, we are satisfied, will ado
very much to the entertainment anC
pleasure of our summer guests.
The REGISTER will also be nucf
pleased to receive letters from guests il
our different summer resorts, and to fur
nish as desired copies of papers contain
ing such. A little concerted action o
the different localities in the direction o
acquaintance and intercourse ought Il
very materially add to the pleasure of
summer visit in Vermont.

as the barriers hedging him on the!

respectable mountains Of difficulty, a
winged spirit of energy, which was.
perhaps, only an unused heritage from
his Woodworking father, began to pos
ecss him, breaking the bonds OF habit
and lifting him out OF the rut OF In
trospection. One morning he forgot
to count his pulse, and the daily analy"
sis of his symptoms was omitted for
the first time in weeks; and that night
he slept with open windows, through
which the cool breeze from the noun
tain blew across the bed, and no harm
came of it. He was too busy to think
much about his infirmity at the time,
but q week later he stepped upon the
Patcnt wejghing-machine in the ro-I
t,1nla of the Johannesburg, and when.
the pointer failed to record the usual
decrease he went 10 his room and

the gummy ink OF the stamp was still
fresh enough to be blurred by t1As

Philip read the papers leisurely q

the attorney.

trouble" he said. ST have given up tho
iden of buying inside, and have been

Sllarpless met him half way, and
Philip thought he surprised heeting

ofthe lawyer. "That's sensible change.

money to be made In Che]te1ham
Heights than on broadway. I've scat

Philip got away as soon as he could
deccntly, and went back to his room to
piece together the deductions which
might fairly be drawn from the inter-
view. The first point made clear wna
the undoubted guilt OF the conspirn-
tors: il they had committed forgery for,
the purpose Of imposing on n single
customer, 1t was reasonable to concludes
that they had not hesitated when tho
necessity was far more urgent. Ans
other deduction was Of even greater inn

was II vulnerable point. IT. the notary
set price upon his silence, he might
also be induced to speak, il 1t were
made sufficiently profitable for him to
do so. A third Inference was that the
original forgery and the deed from
Gates had disappeared; otherwise the
conspirators would not have been at
the trouble of fabricating new ones. !,
Philip sat up late that night, study
ing the problem and trying to deter!
mine what he should do next, bat his
perseverance was rewarded only by the
turning of one more conjecture into q
certainty. The note which had called
