The Herald Of 1853.

John Herrick has preserved a copy Of
tha aid Green Mountain Herald, published
foy Randolph and Bethel in 1853 by VIII
lam Hutchinson and AbneE Morse, whose
nrinting Office was in what is now Bass
bookstore, built on Haln street b. Mr..
Hutchinson for both a newspaper Office
and bookstore.
II was under Mr.. Hutchinson that Col.
AR Chandler. when q boy OF IL, began
10 set type on the Green Mountain Aegls,
the immediate progenitor OF the HERALD
and in that way, euriously enough, be-
came interested in telegraphy IN which ne
was afterwards to have so distinguished
career. In those early days the telegraph /
office was located in the printing ONCE
and the boy compositor found time 10 the
midst OF his duties to learn the clicking
machine and master the dots aud dashes I
OF the code. Gradually be became ab- I
sorbed in this comparatively new inYen-
tiou while the art preseryatiEe slipped IN
To the background OF his thoughts TO De
never again more than pleasant memory,
while be rose to the responsible position
az climber dispatcher under Lincoln IN the
1 Civil war and later to the presidency Oh
/ the great Postal Telegraph Cable company.
Mr.. Herriek's copy OF the Green Noun
tain Herald bears the date Of Nov. 70,
1s53-nearly 81 years ago--and, though
II does not contain a line u what IS
termed local, or even county, news,
gives a quite complete account OF the
Vermont legislature then in session ana
occupied with matters as important prom
ably as those that will demand its atten-
tion this coming fall.
For instance, Representative Rice Of
Somerset called up joint resolution 10
nav F. E. Woodbridge for services as au-
ditor and moved to amend so as to TX the
sum at 5000; whereupon Representative
Judeyine proposed to curb extravaganee
nv amending the amendment SO as to cut
the compensation down TO sl00. The gem
eral ssembly OF 1908 raised the auditors
salary to az, 500 and allowed as much more
for clerks, stenographer and other neces-
sary expenses.
Mr.. Rice also called upa bill relating to
: pounds, estrays and lost goods and MI.
Field moved that the bill be committed
for amendment that IL might include
geese among the animals not suffered 10
: run at large, which, il enforced to the
full meaning Of the term, might have

! ion that the act should be so constructed
