Iu freeman. ONTPELEP.VT. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 30. 1881. o Extra Session. PriMident G:irfi.M has determined to call no extra session of congress for this spring. In this he has undoubtedly pleas ed the country at Iniya. although many of those who feared the reanlUof Mich a ses sion were not disposed to criticise the call ing of it titd it heen deemed necessary on the more full information which is possess ed at Washington 0 the needs of govern ment. It is said that Secretary Windom will by the puichaseof six percent bonds endeavor to keep the interest charge down to what It would be during the year h id a session hren called and a funding bill passed. Tne ol her departments of government can get along all right and so fir as political ques tion go there was no call for a burst of congressional oratory. The present session of the Senate will run along a few days and if the political contest which has begun is kept up it may run several weeks. Some time since it was annonnoed that right after the late presidential election the work of reorgan izing the democratic party had been undertaken. From what has happened in the Senate it would appear that the reorganization has been accomplish! d. The laiely dominant party has gotten rid of little local issues such as no centralized government, control by states of all things within their own powers and the tariff question. Iutmil of these uuimportant matters nnd also that reform which five years ago w:is so imperatively necessary, and that refusal to condone frpud which four years ago in some way seemed to embellish de itineracy, a new issue hits been found and Ben Hill and other senators find great delight in it. The new issue is Mahone, once general in the confederate army, now senator from Virginia. The democrats in the Senate are working this issue vigor ously and if it pleases them it is a very harmless amusement. There was an independent in the Senate Senator Davis of Illinois and he voted with 1 he democrats on the election of Sen ate committees. Davis was pure. Malione voted with the republicans and straight way he must be a rascal. This same Ma hone was not recognized as an exponent of democracy in the presidential contest and has been very heartily abused by the regulars in Virginia hut that was not remembered, lie has been indorse! by a large meeting of the readjuster leaders of Virginia and still he is denounced as a traitor by those who had no hand iu elect iug him. The republicans have moved to got their proposed officers in and put the democrat ic officers of the Senate out. In this Mr Davis of Illinois concludes to vote with them anl democratic plaudits over the course of Davis have ceased. But because Mahone is voting with the republicans they refuse to be comforted. Mr. Mahone in fact is a Virginian who holds some unsound financial doctrines hut who has on other matters come to that degree of understanding which gradually more and more in the south will reach. lie will probably at times vote with one party and at times with the ot he-. lie favors equal rights and therein hold ing republican doctrine will on many po. litieiil questions be found with them. He has b id notions, though he makes a very able and strong defence of them as applied to Virginia, about finances; and on tintin- eial questions will probably lie found with a majority of the men who are now howl ing about him. There is no need of the republican party's undertaking his defense, I hey do not own him: he owns himself and is apparently very well able to lake care of himself. He is a small man phys ically, and on the whole the speolac.lo is rather amusing of the whole democratic party making war on Mahone. It doubtful whether they will got tho upper. hand or whether Mahone will, but it i certainly the most evenly matched contest in which the democracy has engaged of late. That is about all that is doing in Wash itigtou in tho way of activo politic: struggling just now, quarreling with Mahone. And Monday Senator Mahon talked to his opponents for three hours He is a live issue for his opponents the first one they have had lately and they are to be commended for making the most of him. Dakota Araln. Your correspondent, who asks roe so many questions, suggests the story of lb old maid who was fonnd weeping bitterly, and who. on being asked the cause of her grief, said : M If I should ever get married and have baby and live by the river and the baby should get drowned, alas my heart would break.'- Iam sorry "Vormonter" did not use his own name. I abhor the custi m of using fictitious signatures. It is too much like the dodge of the malicious gossip who concludes a yarn with, " Dont never tell who told you.1' The questions raised are such as every man who goes west ought to weigh, and are well, though sarcastically asked. Why not have signed your name? Question. Having told how cold it was n December, will he now tell how cold it was in January and February? Answer. For December last a friend sent me n daily report. I have not receiv- 1 a report for January and February. A year ago the winter was very mild. A few years ago the Dakota historical society made observations and reported for Janu ary the lowest temperature at 16 degrees below zero, and for February 20 degrees below. It ranged from these figures to 53 and 55 above zero, with a mean tem perature at about zero. The past winter h;is been an exceptionally sevoro one, There has been much suffering. More than will ever be told. If, however, I read correctly the early history of Vermont, our fathers saw some suffering, and in many a severe winter they carried bags of corn to mill lor miles on foot. Who re grets that his father or grandfather were among those pioieers? Who ever hears one of those veterans, who may yet linger, express regret that he shouldered his pack for a venture into the arctic regions of Vermont? I recommend to "Vermonter' to read the early life of Garfield and his near anoostors in their pioneer exerience n Ohio. Question. About loss of stock, taxes fuel. etc. ? Answer. In some parts of Dakota there plenty of wood ; in other sections fringes of wood on the rivers, but the greater part is treeless. They are dependent for fuel and building material on foreign sources. Good pine lumber sold last fall in Eastern Dakota for eighteen and twenty dollars per thousand, hard coal for ten and twelve dollars per ton, and hard wood for five and six dollars per oord. In Eastern Dakota there has been hut little loss of stock this winter, for they protect their tittle and cut hay for them. In tbe western part, on the large ranches where for the last live or eight years they have not pretended to provido for winter, the loss has been very great. Taxes are not higher than in the east, except it be on the in is held by speculators. Tools, wagons, tc , cost but little more than here. The trouble with many people is that they niis- ke the fabulous prioes of the mining or unfiling region for the prices of the agri- ultural fronteer. Groceries, including meats, flour.syrup, etc., average no higher htin in Vermont, and dry goods are not much higher. Wheat for the last two years has sold for from seventy to eighty live cents per bushel. Question. Don't you think If they would stay In Vermont and be as saving is they have to he in Dakota to get a liv ng that they would get rich, be happy ml therefore contented? Answer. Surely "Vermonter" would lot have had the many sons that have 'one from us remain. 1 believe that the tatemcnt would hold good that the ngro gate wealth of native horn Vermonters who U"W live outside the state is equal to the property of resilient native Vermont ers. We can stay and see the advantages from the development of the fairest por- ton of our country secured by foreigners if we prefer, but to our young men who have the "sand'' to stand a few years of racket" let me say: "Come boys, lets push out and try our hand, remembering always to ' Seek first the kingdom of Heaven and all these things shall be added.'

Committees of both the New York and Massachusetts legislatures are eousi lering the question of providing more stringent restrictions upon the sale of counterfeit butter and cheese. Before the latter the oleomargarine men testified that "proba bly three-fourths" of their customers buy it supposing it to be butter, and there was evidence tending to show that quantities of this stuff are shipped and sold after the listingtiisbing trade-mark has been re moved.

The very plain truth seeine to be that the president recognizes the fact that a republican is a republican and it will prove a very sensible course we have no doubt not to ostracize such as differ from the opinion of recognized loaders in the party. Villard, the Oregon railroad king, has been organizing a raid to got possesion of the northern Pacific road.

Mr. Billings and his party claim the issue was perfectly legal and tbe courts will have the determination of the question.

A more enthusiastic reception than was given to Sir Bartleatthe meeting of the Colonial Institute on Tuesday last, it is impossible to imagine. Every speaker.the great majority of them colonists, men twined him in high terms nnd indulged in the keenest expressions of regret at his recall. Sir Bartle stated some curious facts in connection with the Boers. Thoy are by no mean" the semi barbarous race they have been represented. In some of their homes there are not only the refine ments but the luxuries which one meets with in the homes of gentlemen farmer in England. Some most interesting information was also given about the native population. In almost every other countrv where the natives have been brought into contact with the white min tbe former have dwindled in numbers, and in manv instances have almost died out. In Natal the reverse is the case. Since the founding of the colony the native imputation has rison from 50.000 to 450.000 and is ranidlv Increasing. One soeaker stated that the best missionary in South Africa was tho diamond digger. He taught th natives industry, honesty and cleanliness. We were also informed that in some of the townships of the Cape Colony debating societies had been formed by the natives, and the questions of im perial interest were discussed iu very excellent. English. In some places, too, magazines, had been started by the natives, who contributed clever articles on all kinds of subjects. Of the present civili zation and enlightenment of the native races continue to advance with the same rapid sti ides, without any p-oportionate immigration of white men, the question of supremacy between the two races will be a difficult one to solve. In this country there is just at present a rage for one style of dressing the hair, shop girls, duchesses, Mrs. L ingtry and Ellen Terey included. It is very simple, but the French scroam at it. and 0110 is inclined to sympathize with them in look ing at a pretty blonde who has shorn the sides and top of her head until tho golden locks are about throe inches long, curled these into a bushy mass, parted it 011 one side and coiled the remainder of her crowning glory into a light little knot on the najie of her neck. Worse still, tho curly crop is not allowed to follow the outlines of the head but is covered up in a sort of turret right at the summit. The postal savings bank system is work ing wonders among the Utile people 01 England. There is a sort of fascination to children in buying the fresh, bright tamps, fastening them to the blank forms, which one after another are rilled up and forwarded to headquarters. Suar plums have lost half their charms, and even dreams of new dolls and marbles are relinquished, that Johnnie and Polly may swell their bank accounts. Of course, this habit of saving may tie engendered to an injurious extent, but it is only in except ional cases this result would ensue, for tbe natural, tendency of childhood is opposed to thrift, and to learn by a little self-denial in trifling matters that they can eventually become the owners of some valuable and hitherto unattainable articles, teaches them both the valuo of money, the vanity of indulging in every dueling wi.-h, and the advantage of possessing something really good. Where won't people flirt? is a question raised in one's mind when they enter the solemn precincts of the British museum .and wander through the halls devoted to national history. Here, before a singe of -lulled nnd hideous gorillas, you see George Augustus and Clemetina lost, not in Darwinian speculations but. in the mazes of a lovers' quarrel, suggested by such phrases, "."he's a nasty thing, and you danced three times with hor." "You ain't going to believe that rot." etc. One of the most attractive rooms for unamored youths are those devoted to snakes. Here the sweet young things tremble and shudder and clutch his coat sleeve, snd he makes a feint of protecting them from tbe horrible anacondas nnd boa constrictors and tliiugs, and feels how nice it is to bo a big. brave man, able to protect tender femininity without danger to himself. Rainy afternoons the museum just swarms with these species of visitors, and if a rule was made admitting only one sex at a time it may be believed that the study of national history would prove as little popular as that of tbe Chinese language.

Mr. Dana has filled the office for many years and uuder his managomen it was notably one of the best conductei in the United States. Rev.

The complainant states that this has injured his reputation, and sues for $5000 damages. the severe sickness in town. The people; of Waterbury advertised to entertain all fiom abroad, which from the amount of sickness made the attendance probably smaller than it otherwise would have heen. TbeHoloists engaged were Mrs. Maria Gibson, Boston, Miss F. L. Hopkins. V ash- ington, D.C., Mrs. C.S. Hoag. Waterbury. Miss Ida Stanley, Burlington, Mr. Fred W. Bancroft, Montpelier, Mr. E. R. Ober, Wa terbury, and Prof. A. N. Wheelock, Barre. The chorus appeared to work well and good progress was made. Thursday and Friday afternoons matinees were given, and concerts in the evenings. The concert Friday evening had the fol lowing programme, opening with the chorus, " Gallant and gaily," followed by duetto, ' Dews ot the summer night," well rendered. The next number was a song by Mr. Wheelock, " Not till Time his glass shall shiver." Mr. Wheelock has a good bass voice and sang well, though lacking a lit tle in distinctness of utterance. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney of Boston sang the A.B.C. duette, rece ived an encore nnd gave, " When ye gang awa, Jamie?" We could see nothing in the rendering of either piece demanding especial praise. Mrs. Wheatley of Montpelier next sang "Once again," a sweet song, and very well rendered. Mrs. Wheatley's voice is Dure, and she sings true to pilch, and if we were to surest anv change, it would be more distinctness of enunciation. The next, chorus, ' Mighty Jehovah," with salo and oblis-ato. was bv Mr. Whit- tier of Barre. The chorus was taken up in slower time than is usual, but was well lierforraed, as were the solos of Mr. Whit- Her. Miss Stanley of Burlington sang next the sonar. " Slorm and Sunshine, with excellent effect. Miss Stanley has a rich contralto voice, distinct enunciation, and an engaging manner, and must be popular where she is known. The Laughing Trio, by Mrs. Hoag and Messrs. Bancroft and Wheelock, was the next, and there was considerable laughing beside that in the trio. Mrs. Hons next gave a cavntina, show ing considerable execution. Miss Stanley, Mossrs. Wheelock and Bancroft sang " Give me a cup of the grape's bright dew," followed by an " Ave Maria " by Miss Hopkins. There is een, incisive quality in Miss Hopkins voice, not entirely pleasing, out 11 gives a brilliant effect. Shu received an encore and sang " Happy birds." Mr. Hopkins of Burlington sang Palm branches," received an encore and gave " Uon t oe sorrowiui, mining. Miss Cheney sang " The lost chord." Her voice is pure, clear and true, her ut lorance distinct, and her manner artistic ather than sympathetic, and the perfect hush of the audience showed how effective was her rendering of this song, which iccouut of its peculiar style, is so haul to sustain. The next was a duette, " Master and Pu pil,'' by Miss Hopkins and Mr. Putnam- taking " selection, well rendered fol lowed by quartette, "Spring Song." oy Misses Chenev and Stanley and Messrs, Bancroft and Wheelock well sung. The solo numbers were ended with thi luette, " Excelsior," by Miss Hopkins and Mr. Wheelock, which was well performed though the composition struck us as rather heavy and having a sameness which take fiom its effect. The concert closed with solo and chorus from Hermann, "Crowned with tho tem pest," solo given by Mr. Wheelock. This is a powerful chorus, and was very well rendered, though showing lack of rehear salkand some of tbe trebles found the highest notes a little above their register. Mr. Wheatou accompanied the most of the solos and played for the choruses, and lie is one of the best. With great power and energy for chorus practice, be blends 1 delicacy of touch and sympathetic fol lowing in accompanying which is as rare as it is excellent. Mossrs. Bancroft and Soribner also ac companied several of the songs very nice- The Waterbury people kept open houses, and their bespitality was appreciated by their guestB. The convention was a success in a finan cial way, which we are glad to be able, to record, and may be classed as a success in a musical way as well. Senator Hoar made a retort worthy of reservation.

The funeral of the late czar, Alexander . took plice at St. Petersburg, Sunday in the Cathedral of SS.

At the close of the service the czar kissed his deail father. The coflln was then carried to the vault in the cathedral, ny tne emiieror and the grand dukes, and the collin was then lowered into the gaavc amid a salvo of artillery. The People's Telephone Company ot New York, which insists that Daniel Drawbaugh of Pennsylvania is the original nventor of the speaking telephone, has commenced taking testimony to that effect n Harrislmrg. Upward of 100 witnesses lave been summoned, many of wtiom re cognize Drawbaughs instruments, now exhibited, is the identical ones which they alked through about twelve years ago. There is also another claimant in the per son ot an impecunious ataten manner, who invented a contrivance of a telephonic nature as early as 1872, two years subse qucnt to llrawbaiigli's productions, but several years previous to the inventions of either Bull, Gray or bdison. the claim f this Staten Island man is substantiated by the original caveat which he filed in the patent oIHce earlv in 1872, and which is now in possession of the People's Tele. phone Company, which has also purcnaseil he Invention, the instrument, inside and out, is almost a fac-simile ot the Bell tele- phono now in use.

At New York, Sunday night, two burg lars entered the house of Thomas Egan, 158 East Forty-second street, gagged and hound Miss Nellie Cunningham, aged 19, Mr. Egan's niece, who was alone at the time Then they demanded to be told where Mrs. Egan's jewels and money were, and, on the lady's refusal to inform them, struck her in the face. Still exasperated by her relasal to answer their questions, one burglar stab bed her several times in the arms and face with a penknife.

The announcement of the death of Job Dodge, formerly of this place, and a son of the late Thomas Dodge, will be found in another oolumn. Mr. Dodge will be remembered by many who were personal ly acquainted with him and with the sub stantial aid he has rendered his father's willow. We copy from the Prophetstown ipike of January 8th the following tribute to the memory of the deceased : Mr. Dodge was born in Montpelier, Vt., April, 1819. He left his native state at the age of nineteen years. He was edu cated in tbe public schools of his native state, and had a good business education. which lilted niiu tor the duties of a first class business man. When he first came tnlllinois he engag ed in tne mercantile ousiness In the village of Portland. He sold goods in that place for several years, and then came to Prophetstown, where he engaged in the same business, only upon a larger scale lie was also engaged in pork oackine, using some years $25,000 in the business. In the year 1841, Mr. Dodge was mar ried 10 alary n. winner. mere were two children by this happy union, but both died in infancy. In 1818 Mr. Dodge left iTopneisiown and went to t'cru, and there engaged in the mercantile and man ufucturing business. He held a heavv interest in the Peru plow facory until his death, tie also owned a tine residence in Peru and one in the city of Philadelphia He was industrious and economical, and at the time of his death had amassed a nice property. Some three years ago he became a victim ol bis disease, and since that time, until his death, he was a great sufferer. Mr. Dodge was charitable, kind, and always held a good position in society. He was one of those men that always worked Irom a prinoiple of right, and took for his guide the grand idea of treating all else as he wished to be treat ed. The body was interred in the Prophets town cemetery, on Sunday, the 2d inst. The funeral services were held at the late residence of the deceased, in this place, Kev. J. J. Clifton, officiating. Pullman car stock is to be increased one third aud the extra stock given to the holders of the present issue. This simply means that the company can make more than the eight per cent dividends which they have been declaring and can do so on so much more capital. The general pub lic probably is not aware how tho Pullman cars are run. Fvery road which uses them is obliged to draw lliein for nothing and keep them in repair. Tbe company has only to build the cars and pay for the conductor and porter and the care of the linen and fixtures. The orters are paid about :!( and the conductors $70 a month. The ears are run every day, except when undergoing repairs, and there are 2 berths in each, which are let for $2 per night. In the best seasions the cars are full and there is hardly a day in I the year when they do not pay expenses. in view ot the enormous profits one would think that the railroad companies would build their own sleeuing cars, and this practice is coming into vogue on many western roads, but the majority have not the capital necessary, while many of the best features ot the berths are patented. As it is the lailroads arn onliged 10 furnish such ears to satisfy the demand of the traveling public, who are the one to pay these enormous dividends. It is evident that the rates for travel in sleeping cars are exorbitantly high and the public have a right to demand that they be made lower. A Romantic Stout. Abram Johnson of Salem Township, Wayne county. Pa., died recently. Johnson was 108 years old, having been born in Vermont in 1773. His father was a soldier in the war of tho revolution, and the family lived near Lake Chatnplain. Abram en listed and served with distinction in the war of 1812, and was captain ol a compa ny of Oneida Indians under the command of General Macomb.

Donahue and Fisk, who was also present, he agroed to call the hay twenty five and a half tons and insure it for $180. Boyden testified that there was a horse stable, hen house, and manure arch, which were eon-ealod by the hay, so that he was deceived a to the amount. Donahue and Fisk testified on the other hand that those places were pointed out to him; that no deceit was attempted, and that it was his own fault if he was deceiv ed. This took place about the 20th of Anrnst. and the hav was burned aliout a month later while Dennis Donahue and his brother Jerrv were in Montreal, on an excursion of that date. After the burning of the hav there was a suspicion that Donahue and Mullaly had set fire to it to get the insurance money, ana they were indicted. But the indictment of the grand jury was quashed, and nothing further has been tione aoout 11 on me pan 01 me siaie. A notice of the loss was made ou oy ueo M. Fisk of Northfield, and presented to he company in due lime. A question was aised. however, as to tne sumciency 01 the notice; but the oourt ruled that it was grood. The iurv evidently thought there was no oroot of a oonsuiracy to aeirauu the Insurance Company, for they returned a verdict for the plaintiffs to recover lb9 ind costs.

French and Plumley for the In surance Company. . Charles and Joseph Daffany vs George ind Frank C01 beille. This case which was on trial at the lime of our last week's re port, involved the settlement of the line Oetween lots 32 and 31, in the southern part of Northfield. and in what is called the first division of lots, in the town of Waitslield, and which were set off from Waitsfield to Norlh field several years ago. Lot 32, which belongs to the plaintiffs, is in fifth range of lots nnd is directly south f lot 34 which is in tho si xth range. 1 he great question in the case was whether the east and west lines of tbe town were what are oalled "original" lines or not. The line in question was one of these east and west lines. The original survey of the town was made by William Strong, a man well known in tho early history of Ver mont, and a member of congress in 1786 or 1788. The plaintiffs insisted that he ran north and south lines only ; that as he was running from north to south, at the end of each 150 rods he marked corners so as to have each lot contain 150 acres as near as possible. Against this view the defendants urged that Waitsfield was an exception to the other town in that partic ular, and that the east nnd west lines were run first, owing to the obstacle presented by Bald Mountain against running north and south If Waitslield was an exception to the general custom of running the north add south lines first, it was the only one in the county. Tho plaintiffs claimed that the ancient east and west lines now exist ing were not as old as the north and south lines, and consequently are not a part ot the original survey made by Wm. Strong. the defendants put chips taken from marked trees into the case to show that the east and west line in dispute was a part of the first survey. 1 lie grains in the wood showed that the marks had heen made ibout 90 years ago. If this line is the old jno, the surveyor evidently made a wide error in his calculation, for lot 31 and the other lots in the sixth range contain about 180 acres, and lot 32 and the others in the tilth range contained only about 120 acres. But the defendants showed it had long been understood that tne huh range was a nar row range of lots by several old residonts of Waitsfield, among them Mr. Ezra O. Joslyn, who has been lister at three ap praisals of the real estate in the town of Wailshcld. " He said that the lots in tbe fifth range had always teen placed in the list at 120 acres. Several witnesses tes tified that while the east and west lines could be easily traced from tbe height of land between Northfield and Waitsliold clear to Moretown, the north and .south lines were indistinct. The case lasted from Tuesday morning till Fridav morning. The jury brought in a verdict for the do fendants, and in addition the following special verdict: "Tho Jury also find tiie south-east corner of lot 32 to be 126 rods south from the north-east corner of said lot 32, or the birch tree admitted to be tbe corner marked tree." Messrs. Heraan, Carpenter and S. C. Shurlleff for plaintiffs; Messrs. Frank Plumley and Heath & Carleton for de- lendants. B. W. Marsh vs. Mathias J. Stone. This case occupied the attention of the court Monday afternoon. The parties are from Cabot, and the suit was brought to recover the face and interest of a note for $62, which the defendant gave to the plaintiff for the consideration that he should sign an agreement, along with Stone s other creditors, to accept seventy five cents on the dollar on bis debt. Judge 1 aft held that such a proceeling was fraud on the other creditors and on the third party who bought up tbe olaims of the creditors, and ordered the jury to re turn a verdict for the defendrfni. Mr. S C Shurtleff for plaintiff; Messrs. Laiuson and Itbo. W. Wing for defendant. There is one other case to be tried Morris vs. Boyce, and then the state cases will be tried.

James Batchelder, brakeman on the way Ireight train between this city nnd White River Junction, was killed at Bol ton, at five o'clock Monday afternoon. The train was backing on a side track, and as Batchelder was stepping from the lender to the next car he slipped and fell, and the looomotive ran over his head, nearly sever ing it from the bxly and causing instan taneous death. The unfortunate man was a resident of Northfield, where he leaves a wife and child. He was about 28 years old and had been on the road about three years. Banking in Vermont under the national system appears to be a reasonably proht- ablo business. We took the reports of twenty-seven of the national banks in the slate made to the comptroller of the cur rency, and found that their combined capi tal was $5,145,000 and their aggregate surplus and undivided profits, $1,456,000, or considerably more than one-fourth of the capital. Surely these banks could worry along if they were obliged to deposit three instend of four per bonds as a basis of circulation. The most profitable bank in the list, and undoubtedly in the state, is that at Orwell, which has a capital of $100,000 and surplus of $121,191 ; and next to this comes the First National of Bennington, with a capital of $110,000 and a surplus of $127, i99. The school children of Vermont number 75,238, distributed over 23 19 districts and attending 2597 schools. The schools are maintained at nn annual expense of $446, 210, and 4359 teachers are paid $360,320 a ear. The annual cost to the state per scholar is about $5.93 per annum. There are 7123 scholars wno attend other than public schools. The state has three normal schools for which it contributes about 412.000 annually. Vermont has nineteen incorporated academies, with 105 teachers and 2545 scholars. Their income from tuition amounts to $25,692, in addi ion to which they receive $ 17.600 annual ly from endowment funds. There are also nineteen graded schools in the state with (036 scholars, having 129 teachers. Hon.
