MINERALS IN VEpNnN,r

MI Fl. w. w. Miller has brought to This CITY n
quantity of Roman ochre, from mine in More
town, Washington county, Vermont. This mine
was discovered in 1889. lis found by an efficient
nnd severe experiment, to possess in high degree
The desirable requisites for forming the most dur
able and beautiful paint, containing a great pre-
pnnderance OF slick over aumne, and resembling
very nearly the Roman ochre, supposed long since
to have become extinct. 1t is thought by those
best acquainted with its qualities, and the uses to
which 1t may be applied, 10 be an invaluable dis
covery, and adds another to the catalogue of val
liable minerals produced from the mountains of
the State Of Vermont. Mr.. Miller the discoyerer.
IS member Of the Vermont bar, and gentle
man of scientific taste and attainments. Within
two or three years a rich vein of copper ore has
been discovered in Orleans county, from which,
with their limited means, the capitalists of that
state are producing large quantities of metal
Iron of the purest quality has also been discover
ed in the immediate vicinity, aud in inexhaustible
quantities. There are several furnaces in opera
ton on the spot, from which the northern part of
vermont, New York and the Canadas are supplied
with the most beautiful castings. The ore i'm the
iron mines is chiefly oil the surface of the earth,
requiring no sinking Of shafts for its attainment.
The yield of pure non being uDequaed by nny
other mine in the world.
We take the above from the New York Herald
OF Saturday. Col. Miller has since returned TO
this city, after having his paint analysed by the
most eminen; chemist OF that city, and compile
ting l'Is arrangements with the extensive house of
Lawrence < Co, who are his agents for the u.
States. We understand that the ochre has been
analysed by celebrated English chemist now in
New York, and pronounced to be the genuine
Roman ochre From encouragement offered,
Col. Miller purposes to sail for London in Febru-
airy next, with the fullest confidence Of competing
with France in the English market The ochre
has been tested by Eaton aud Gilbert of this city,
on several carriages now on hand Larned and
Corning are the agents for the sale of the ochre
in this city.-I'roy Budget.

CANAJOHARIE In RUINSl
FRIpAY MORNING.. Nov.

FRIDAY MORNING, Nov. ~.
We stop our press to announce The awful in
telligence Of the ruin of The pleasant village Of
Canajohare by The fire last evening. 1t broke out
about 0 o'clock in the stable of Henry Leber. de-
ceased, and caught the building occupied byWells
81 Baker, as dry good store, and Zero and Err
win as n grocery store, and the corner building
on that side Of the street,
The fire then crossed the street and took in the
building occupied by II. and l.. Barnes, as a tin
and sheet iron store, where it spread with great
rapidly, (the wind being high) enyeopng the two
blocks of buildings extending to the creek east,
which were entirely consumed, with most of their
contents. Ii then crossed the creek, taking the
bridge in its course and consumed all the buildings
on the hill, MS far as the red school house. The
printing Office of the Rnddii, with all its contents,
was destroyed.
About 40 buildings were destroyed. A little
boy about years old is missing, and it is feared
he persisted in the flames. The fire is supposed
TO have been the work of incendary. We
have not yet learned the amount of loss, or insur
ance. Particulars hereafter.

The Montreal Herald says that the model sleigh,
which was lately sent to the village OF ST. Therese
for the inspection OF the habitans by order of the
government was broken to pieces aud burned by
the loyal subjects Of Her Majesty, oa Saturday
week last. So much for the good advice Of Hon.
John Nelson. In connection with this we may
mention that we heard from gentleman just re-
turned from Montreal that the Canadians in the
neighborhood of Napierville were beginning TO shew
some symptoms of an intended repetition Of the
drama of l639.-M Y Express.
Some of our readers may like to know why
model sleigh is sent among the people by the
Canadian Government. We understand that the
government has prescribed sleigh for use which
will, like our Yankee sleighs, keep double path.

Upon this Mr. Richie flaps his wings and crows:
Sails not lost-we have saved our honor.--we
have saved Virginia. We have saved the Citadel.
We have saved the flag of the Republican party"
Mr.. Ritches exutation at having saved Virgin
10 by some two or three hundred votes, reminds
us of an anecdote we have heard Of half witted
brother of Mr.. Jefferson. Mr.. Jefferson we have
been told, had his house burnt many years ago.
He had living with him at the time simple eccen-
trio brother, who owned an old fiddle with three
strings, TO which he was very much attached AS
soon rs the fire was dscoverered, all hands went
to work to save the furniture, except this brother.
He rar in, secured his old fiddle, and swore TINT
the house and every thing else might burn and be
id. He had saved his fiddle which was
all he cared for So it is with Mr. Richie. lie
has saved Virginia, and it is worth about as much
to him in the present contest as was the old threa
stringed fiddle Charlottesville .4dpocaie.

MEssRs. EDrroRs:-I do not agree will
"One Of the People," in the propriety o
selecting candidates for the Legislature, thus
early. The period of the election is distant
some five months, and as we may reasonably
anticipate an exz:ted and heated politica
canvass, | think we had best postpone the
evil hour as long as possible. April, May.
or June, will be sufficient time for the differ
ent candidates that may be selected, to 60
through the county and see the people-and
as the times are hard, and money scarce, il
will be greatly for the interests Of the coun.
try generally, if as little time as possible, be
taken up with the subject of politics.-Mosi
Of our citizens understand, or at least ina
gine they understand sufficiently well the
leading subjects, which divide the parties and
on which the election will turn, and the agi.
tation of the subject will only tend to ere.
ate bad feeling, and arouse passions that
should slumber as long as possible. When it
is recollected that, the Presidential election
will follow close upon the heels of the cleo
ton OF Representatives, and that when once
the public become warmly excited on the
subject Of politics, that the fever will not in
all probability subside till after the Presiden-
tial election, | think you will agree with me,
that it is premature to agitate this subject. Let
US put it off six, or eight weeks, and then | shall
be willing to adopt the suggestion Of 'One o.
the People,
He, however wishes each party to nomi.
nate a Sheriff, at the same time. Now | am
opposed to this ''tooth and toe nail" ! can
see no good reason, why the office of Sheriff
should be made, in this way a political otiics.
and | hope neither party will entertain for a
moment, the thought of nominating a candi,
date for that office. We might rs vel, and
| think with more propriety, vote for a man
on account Of his religious opinions: and let
each Of the religious denominations select a
candidate, aud call upon all their particular
persuasion to vote for him, because forsooth
he is a Presbytcrian,a Methodist, ora Blp.
tist. This would be thought a right strange
move in these times, and yet ! think there
is as much reason for it, as that the two pc,
~iIiical parties should nominate a candidate for
Sheriff. No, Messrs. Editors-Let us vote
for a man, for this responsible office withou,
regard to whether he is 4 Wing or Democrat.
Let the first and only enquiry 10 the one
Jefferson made. in the appointment Of Off
cors, ais he capable, is he honest" and not
whether he is for that niau for President, OF
!or this man for Governor.
