The convention reassembled ou the morning of the 9th ef November, the President in the chair. S. S. Pike of Lamoille, called attention to the Homestead law and asked what construction the several Probtte Courts put upon the law in oasea where there was a mortgage upon the lands inoluding the homestead, but the lands were worth $500 above mortgage, in reference to placing any burdens of the mortgage npon the homestead. The question was discueaed by Judges French, Stoddard, Tilden and others. Joel C. Baker, in behalf of the com mittee on Practice, reported that as the duties imposed by the resolution had been interpreted to require the committee to not only report rules for the conduct ing of business before tbe Probate Court, but also tbe forms ef procedure, blanks and records, the committee would not be able to make complete their labors during the session of tbe convention, and asked that further time ba given to finish their labors. On motion of Judge Stoddard it was veted thit the committee be directed to continue their labors, and to agree upon the forms of proceedings', records, etc that tbey procure the blanks they would rcootnmend to ba used to be printed, and a copy of each to be sent to each Probate Court in the State, and that the commit tee B8te8s each district with their fair pro portion of their expenses for printing and other expenses. On motion of Joel C. Baker, it was voted that the Judge or Register of each Probate Court be requested to send a copy of all blanks in use in their courts respeetiv ly to Myron A. Bailey at St Albans, for the use of tbe committee. On motion of Torrey E. Wales, it was voted that the committee be further em powered to call a conventiou of Judges and Rfifinters, at such time and place as they ju'ljire best, whenever they shall be ready to report. It wits further voted that the committee b directed to ascertain where tbe neces sary books, blacks and stationary for the ne. of tbe Trobate Courts of the State could bo obtained on the least terms, and to report such proposal as tbey should receive to the convention to be called by thfm. Myron A. Bailey moved that the Secre- tsrv he instructed to furnifh bis minutes of the proceedings of this convention to te newspapers of the State. On mo'ion it was voted that the thanks of this convention be tendered to the railrotd authorities for the return checks furnished the members of tbe convention. On motion of S. S. Pike, the thanks of the convention were tendered to the Pres ident of the convention for the courtesy and pntience with which be had presided over its deliberations, to which Judye S'oddard responded.

After a Ions? march we find a hotel where they promise that we shall have some accommodation at niaht, either a cot or a mattres", end we are thus easily sat-i-fied. Wn pet our breakfast and strt for the F-iir ground, which is some five miles from the center of the city, end will endeavor to ftive your readsrs a brief aoooont of this immense exhibition. Thi fa;r bas been c-ni"d on for sixteen years by th St. Louis Fair Association, a pri vate corporation, and has every year been a ureit success. Their charter does not allow them to make any dividends, eon s quently all tho profits (which are very 1 .rjfe) are expended in the improvement of tho gronnda and buildinps. Every thincr is on the most liberal scale. Tno far grounds consist of about e'ahty-five acres. In about the center IS a v st amphitheatre, where thirty thou sarid people may be seated and wftness tho raet a, which take place on the track inxidfl of the amphitheatre; under these seas are the refreshment stands, which face outward from the trujk, and are all well fitted. There are numerous other lario bnilding scattered over tbe ground tbo tLadies Cottage, tbe Mechanical FTlls the Machinery Department, the Mineral and Geological Department, the Cotton Department, and several large open bnildinps for the Agricultural D pirtment. Then there is the D.er Park, containing about eiiht acres, where five deer and elk mav be seen, and the "Gal- iiog;um"of wire, with hundreds of com partmerts for the poultry, and hundreds of sheds, stalls and pens for horses and stock. The mechanical hall is fall of in terest to the mechanic, watches are be made here, and all manner ot new ma chinery is on exhibition. St. Louis is striving bard, and with goid success thu far, to attract tbe cotton trade to the city. Large premiums are offered on tbo various grades of cotton, and a very fine display is made. But the vastness of the display of agricultural implements will be noticed by all. Over twenty acres are covered with mowers, plows, cultivators, cornshellers, farm wag ona,sowers,tbresbing machines stump pul lers, and other articles of this clas. In this department we saw a finedtsplay of Hwg'(B)acalef,j5iad(fl by theTirandon Man ufacturing Company, who have a ware house here. A "Champion" Reaper and Mower, in this department, possessed the finest and moat elegant finish that we n f 1 ever saw on a mower, jjdiore we nave seen much of the exhibition we find it is growing dusk, and with the crowd start cityward. The heat is intense, and the dnt-t, driven by a high wind, is intolera ble, but there is an end to it all, and af ter a good bath, and excellent supper, all discomforts ot tbe day are loBt tight of in the smoke of a real Havana.

Insane. A religiously insane young man t Dutch parentage, wonting oi Sherman, hacked his arm bdly with a hatchftt, a few days atro, and afterward ut off one band, in literal obedience to be soriptnral passage relating to cutting fl an c ffsndmg member. He bas been removed to the insane asylum at Hart ford. Henry T. Barnes. Henry Y. Barnes, Esq., an old resident of Montpelier, died on Tuesday last at the age of seventy-eight years. He had been a resident of the town for more than fifty years, a larger part of tbe time be had been an active and influential citizen, lie had held several town offices, although he was not wht might be termed a pop ular man, he was a man of rare integrity and independence of character. He was a harness maker by trade, and had his place of business for more than forty years, near the hotel now kept by Mr. Bishop, and onoe owned and kept that hotel. An industrious, honest, thorough business man, he accumulated a hand some property. He had a marked and decided charac ter, with positive traits, mentally and morally, and waa not an individual of pre tences but of reality in all things. A rigid temperance man, almost fanatical and total abstinence was a part of bia religion. In his eye a rumseller was not only a violator of the law, he was a bad man who ought to be punished aad whose traf fic ouebt to be suppressed, and was fore most and vigilant in tbo prosecution of the prohibitory law. Mr. Barnes was an earnest and always consistent anti-slavery man.of strong con victions, and he could hardly have fellow- ship as a christian with those who held adverse opinions. In bis view principlei made the man, and he truly lived out hi opinions, lie always gave of his tim and his money freely to advance meas ures of vital concern to tbe general wel fare. Although a Wbig and a Republi can, politically, he was ready to abandon party for any new organizttion that prom ised to deal more directly with those (Treat evils drunkenness end slavery. He was a devout, consistent and active mem ber of the Congregational church. Like all men who hold opinions clearly and sharply defined, especially on ques tions of morals, and who are fearless in their expression, Mr. Barnes made en emies among those whose opinions or whose tn fth he never spared. The liqnor dealers cordially hated him. II was of tentimes sneeringly called a radical and a fanatic. Although not progressive ac cording to youitj? American ideas, yet he had that stern integrity, fearless life, honest hatred of what he jued wrong cordial friendship for what he tboueht right, that liberality toward every objec that seemed worthy of charity end thut sincerity, frankness ana directness in which he did or was, that wos f ir him 'he sincere regards and real respect of hi who knew, sufficiently to understand what a straight forward, direct, honest man he was. His life ws a remarkable instance of ndependent thought and txpres.-i, m, that many might copy with proh.', Hvoifiinjf tbe extremes both of thought and action to which he sometimes considered it big duty to tin. The writer was acquainted with Mr. Barnes for twenty Teir, and was pleased with the excellent tribute to his virtues in the Montpelier Freeman, from which the main portions of this ar t'clft havo been compiled. The article is a frank testimonial to a fearlt-t-s and up right, consistent roan. Keason vrrttiis Itevtliilion. Benson. Oct. 7 Editor Rutland lltrald My eye lights upon a piece taken from your paper en titled "Reason versus lievelation," upon which I would like to comment britfly. The writer would defend reason by dissociation from all alliince with infinite reason, arid claims that pure Christianity puts atide human reason, with which ignorance we do not wich to credit bim. He must know better. In regard to things entirely out of the bound of rea- sm, we would be assisted by Icfioite knowledge, and would not at any time presume to compete with Infiuite God. God asks us to reason with tim. We are called to "think on cur ways and be wise." Tbe Bible is constantly trying to inspire thought whence come tbes "inward promptings" so often repeated. How many do men have when completely iso lated from the influence of the Bible Another false position is taken, viz: The christiin religion forces a man to "wait" for a "revelation." Tho exact opposite is the truth. We urge upon men to use the faintest light to accept "now." Man, by instinct, knows God is rigVt and should be obeyed. The Bible takes it for granted that man knows his duty,when bis eyes are opened. Again, we hit against these "inward promptings, and it is asked "would it not be better to obey these 'inward promptings?'" By all means; lor it they are wortny or me name, tbf y hove come from God, obey what you have and pray to God for more. But he adds, "all reform must come from within." We have read tbe same from Mr. Theo. Parker's writings. But didlhe writer ever knowa taan reformed without any outward influence No! all comes from without. All ''inward promptings" are first outward promptingp, ,and from God. When a man is in dead .earnest for. that truth which may save bis soul, does he seek within to read it from the tablet of a polluted .heart The very first indi cation of reform will be distrust of his old self. But, says the writer, disputing himBeW, these "inward promptings" msy aa well come from any other source as from the Bible from what source we are not told we were referred to "inward promptings" to adjust everything, and if so, where is truth to be found Then anything is truth which a man may con- are with never so bad heart and life, and tbe worst man's standard is just as good and safe as the wisest and best man's truth, there being no standard of truth. Run this out into all of life's relations and what would the world become Promising to be brief, we will not ex tend but what profundity and aptness of thought these infidel and free thinkers presume to have above tbe believers of gospel truth," when the real fact is that the mass hang npon a certain set of men on purpose, to avoid thought npon these matters of the immortal soul and its des tiny; and for the bright and profound thoughts of those who are called gifted writers, all are indebted to the Bible which they affect to despise. We would have these men try their philosophy and free religion npon cannibals and bring them up to the standard now attained by thousands of them under tbe light of this despised gospel, and if not one has been raised to manhood in these centuries of free religion, I would show a little more modesty and a little less boasting. We would be glad to hear from this writer again, stating, if he please, what this religion ef raason bas done during its mg history, and what it is to-day doing, where it cannot hang to the skirts of the current Christianity of the times. And, if he please, append his name to his thoughts, that his sincerity may not be questioned. Henry M. Holmes. Personal. Mrs. Abbie W.

About a month since the Boston Albany Railroad re duoed their passenger fares, which showing good results, and increasing th business and profits of tbe road. The ticket sales at tbe Pittsfield depot durina; the past month, the firgt month of the reduced fares, exceeded by several hundred dollars the receipts for October, 1870, under the tiaher tariff, when a tic ket to Boston cost 50 cents more than now and one to Springfield 30 cents more The day is not far distant when all railways will reduce their passenger fares and it will be shown that the increased travel will give more profits. Many roa now would show a larger increase of earn ing if they would reduce their passenger rates. Wo apprehend that our railroad cor porations pursue a mistaken policy in keeping their rates so high. We trus that the time is not far distant when they will see the wisdom of such a policy, and thus benefit themselves and work for and in the interests of the people. .Tlitior Items. Rev. E. II.
