Vermont is growing: her highways are
being noticcably improved; she is bccom-
irg more and more IA summer resort. and
divorces are on the increase, one county
recording rs divorce cases on her court
docket at single term. We should
further enlarge the lowers of the board

matrimony should he required to pass n
satisfactory examination before the board
touching their physical. their mental aud
their spiritual qualifications, and they
should be called upon to give a safe bond
of indemnity conditioned that they live
together for at least three years in peace

in the law that the board could grant to
all those who requested it a martial vaca-
ton Of six months once in every five
years. Anything to augment the influence
