ago, good natured matron as ever lived, who
had blessed her husband with ten as spright-

indeed, made call in winter, for she was too
choice Of her comfort to venture out in the
cold. Nor did she deign TO look In upon us
in time Of sickness, for that would be vulgar
But on the arrival of pleasant May, from that
interesting period, she was wont to make her
weekly appearance, followed by half score
OF actiVe boys ana girls, who had been prom
ised the pleasure of a visit beforehand; and
the way they did caper and run over the beds
and pluck the flowers and strip off the green
fruit, and break down the branches, was a
certain proof of their sprightliness and joy;
and who would not expend one five hundred
dollars in making good garden, and devote
his daily attention to 1t for years, for the sake
of witnessing what forward children some
women can have? A man who would not
feel rewarded on beholding the gratifled coun-
tenances of ladies and the pranks of joyful
children-had better not make garden at
all; or if he win do 1t, let him put 1t under

Cured some time since are meeting with
marked success. The fair now progressing
in the basement of the church has been
literally patronized so far, and the interest
last evening seemed to be augmenting.
The decorations of the room are exqui-
sitely beautiful, the display of useful and
fancy articles very striking, and the creams,
water-ices, and confections, pleasant and
palatable. Snacks and luncheons, which
would do credit to the cuisine of any es-
tablishment in Ia belle France, tempt the
eye and regale the olfactories of every
visitor and last, but my no means least,
bright eyes and smiling faces offer to serve
you and receive your small change with a
nrtUGte and grace as charming as irresisti-
Bile. We have been gratified to observe
the admirable order and decorum which
have so far signalized the large number of
visitors who have thronged to the encour-
agement of this very laudable enterprise.
A small admission fee is charged at the
door; and we mention this that none may

The fair will continue through the week.

CURIOUS ExPLosIoN.-Yesterday after
noon a gentleman, upon returning home
to his dinner, placed his latch key in his
door, and in an instant was much startled
by an explosion equal to the report of a
pistol, which scattered the bunch Of keys
in his hand in every direction, knocked
the button off his glove, and hurt his hand
very badly. On examining the lock, no.
thing wrong could be discovered about it,
and the only manner in which this mystic
rious blow-up could be accounted for was
by tracing it to chemical causes. 1t is
supposed to have been caused by thermo-
electric current, developed by the contact
of two different metals-that of the key
and that of the lock-in heated condi-
ton, which makes an explosion partaking
somewhat Of the nature of shock from an
electric battery.

PAYING THE NATIONAL DEBT. - The
London Spectator, in alluding to the
prospect Of our paying our national
debt ere long, remarks:


1t will be the greatest deed De-
mocracy has ever done, the one which
will come most clearly home to prop
erty.holders, which will most rapidly
dissipate the idea that Democracy is
distinguished by "an ignorant impa-
thence of taxation" or by an indisposi-
tion to pay up honorable claims. No
despotism will be able to show such 3
financial account, no constitutional
monarchy better one, and successful
finance tells heavily with cultivated
mankind The tide of immigration will
set In with double rapidity, and the
last remaining deterrent to British
North America will have been removed.
Meanwhile, whether the dream is full
filed or not, America, so long as she
raises this surplus, possesses q force OF
which it is difficult TO estimate the ex-
tent, can, for example, spend without a
loan as much as the whole outlay OF
Great Britain upon her army and navy,
can waste every year without increasing
her taxes as much as the loan with
which Napoleon paid for his Italian
campaign.

In assuming the position of one OF
the editors of the HERALD, and entering
upon a new and untried field of labor
appreciate it's duties and difficulties
with a feeling of embarrassment and
diffidence. With the aid OF my OLA
borer, I can only promise, by faithful
labor, to make the HERALD in the future
what it has been in the past, worthy of
liberal and cordial support | shall
aim to represent the best interests OF the
people at large and especially the varied
interests of Rutland, the County and
State. We shall hope to receive the aid
of our friends in the various localities
by favoring us with items of current
events transpiring in their vicinity, and
thus make the paper to represent not a
portion, but the whole county.


shall aim to advocate those prin-
clples and measures which in my judg-
ment tend toward the settlement of the
great issues Of the present hour and aid
in the reconstruction Of our National
Government, upon the basis of equal
rights, justice and humanity. With
these suggestions as to the future, en-
ter upon the labors Of editorial life,
hoping to deserve well of the public.

The Daily HERALD has now been pub
shed almost six years. 1t grew out of
he exigencies of the times and was
tarted as an experiment. Its puolica-
ion has now been continued long
noneh to render it certain that it will
,ereafter be one Of the institutions of
.utlapd. But now that the circumstances
which called 1t into being and gave


support have passed by,-when cur


sntry has laid aside the habiliments


war and returned to the avocations
fpeace-we are fully conscious OF the
act that increased eXertions on our
srt will be required to keep up the IN
rest of the paper with its readers, es'
5ecially as it comes in direct competi-
ton with those Of larger means and
from more favored localities. with this
fact in view we are now completing ar
rangements for very much improving
itsyalue, the most important of which
il the effectiag of an arrangement with
Henry Clark, Esq, of Poultney, by
which he has become connected with
The paper and will hereafter bestOw his
time and talents upOl it. Mr.. Clark is
too well known to our numerous readers
10 need any introduction or commenda-
tion from us, and we will only offer our
simple congratulations to them upon
this valuable acquisition, which we
heel confident will not only ensure to our
own benefit but theirs.


We propose in the future to devote
more attention to local and State mat
ters than heretofore, and for this pur-
bose are arranging for correspondence
from various towns where matters
OF interest may transpire to our readers
This with other efforts which from time
to time will be put forth, we trust will
enable us in the future to give oul
readers such a paper as shall be cred
liable to the county and State, anc
which we feel confident will receive
generous support at the hands Of tn
public,


The price of the Daily HERALD will a
present remain the same, viz IS pc
year or seventy five cents per month, bu


we are looking forward to an early da,
when the cost of paper will be so re
duced that we shall be able to reouc
our terms. We trust that the tmpor


tance of sustaining Daily in Rutlan

New CoUNTBRFEIT.-Plate CaptlWed-
Officers of the Treasury Department
have captured the plates of one of the
most dangerous and successful counter
feits in circulation. The counterfeit is
on the legal tender notes of fifty dol
lars, containing the vignette Of Alexan-
der Hamilton. The imitation is said to
be the best ever issued, and the best way
of detecting it from the genuine is to
observe the marginal line of figures
running around the back of the note.
The counterfeit will be found in the
lower left hand corner to contain FIVE
instead of fifty, as in the genuine. The
difference is quite distinct and the cap
ture of the original plate will prevent
alteration, so that this test can be relied
on. 1t is believed that there are large
number of these counterfeits in circula-
tion, and merchants and others should
be on their guard against them.

abuse of the late Republican State Conven-

have been whipped at the whipping post
This letter is copied into the Sentinel, and
we regret to observe that the Register takes
notice of and attaches importance to this
charge against the delegates referred to.


We know nothing as to the truth Of this
charge The delegate from Watauga ap-
peared to be respectable, worthy gentle
man; and Alfred Stokes, probably the dele
gate referred to from Wilkes, may have been
whipped while he was a slave. - ~

used to injure the Republican party9 He is
an ignorant, drunken vagabond, who has
been indicted for vagrancy, who has been in
the Georgia penitentiary for crime, who
blacked his hair to get in the Confederate
service as substitute-who was drummed
out of the service, and who, while he is
made a tool to reyile the acolored race, can
find NO white man or negro low or mean
enough to associate with him on terms OF

TIE SCHOOL OF FREEDox. .-Twenty-6ve years
apo the historian and philosophers. scholar Ma
cauley wrote -" There is only ons cure for the
evils which newly acquired freedom produces
and that cure is freedom. Wheu T. prisoner
leaves his cell he cannot bear the light of day;
he is unable to discriminate colors, or recognize
faces. But the remedy is not to remand him to
the dungeon, but to accustom him TO the rays Of
the sun. The blaze of truth and liberty may at
first dazzle and bewiider those who have become
half blind in the house of bondage. But let
them gaze on, and they will soon be able to bear
it. In a few years men learn to reason. The
extreme violence Of opinion begins to subside.
The scattered elements of truth cease to conflict
and begin to coalesce. And at length a system
of justice and order is educed out of the chaos.
If men are to wait for liberty till they become
wise and good, they may indeed wait forever"
