AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

We have not been unmindful of the sub
ject of so great importance to the people Of
our county which is brought up by the fol-
lowing letter of our correspondent. In seve-
raj counties Of the state, meetings for forming
agricultural societies have already been mott
fed. So exclusively agricultural as is the
county of Addison, she should be among the
first to profit by the muni6cence of the legis-
lature to those who accept of their liberal
provisions for the establishment of agricultu-
raj societies. Other states, especially Mass
achusetts and New York are reaping impor-
tant advantages from these institutions
They create a laudable emulation among
farmers, excite aspirit of improvement, and
diffuse knowledge of products and soils,
and the best modes of cultivating them, to-
gether with the management of Aocks and
herds, and the dairy and implements of hus-
bandry so essential to the development of
the ample resources of our fertile soil, and the
prosperous condition of nine -tenths Of our
population. viii the people attend to call
upon them to form a county agricultural so
ciety which we shall issue next week? In
the mean time the friends of the project must
send in names to be attached to the notice
from the several towns.
Mr.. BELL,-Sir, in looking over the acts
passed at the last session of the Legislature
find that our Lawgiyers in the distribution
of their wisdom, have appropriated very
handsome sum for the encouragement of Ag
riculture and the manufacture of agricultural
implements in this State.
The population of our County will, agrea-
bic to to the provisions Of the act, entitle US
to the sum of Sl6l, So when we shall have Or
ganized an Agricultural Society and raised
and paid in to the treasury of said Society
a sum to that amount; and this sum of 1928,
10 after paying the necessary expenses of
such society shall be annually paid out in
premiums as the society shall direct. The
question now arises, will the enterprising far
mers Of Addison County take measures TO
secure to themselves this handsome appro-
priation from the State Treasury, form an
Agricultural Society and avail themselves Of
the noble advantages that other sections of
our country are reaping from such institutions!
understand that you are directly interested
in our agricultural affairs, as well as watch
ing the signs Of the political sky-wOuld it
not be worth your while to stir the people up
little on this subject Sc. word TO the wise is
sufficient
Yours very respectfully,
J. N. SMITH.

THE CELEBRATION.

We were happy to see the interest awaken
ed in this section, in the celebration of the
anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims
Upon very few occasions have we witnessed
more numerous or respectable assemblage
of the citizens of the town and vicinity than
at the Congregational Church on the evening
of the 22d. The address of the Rev. Otto
s. Hoyt of Hinesburgh was well received,
and its topics well adapted to the occasion.
NJ afforded brief historical sketch Of the OPP
pressions of our fathers in their native land,
their departure, their landing, and their suf-
ferings, and displayed their ardent piety and
attachment to those great principles of civil
and religious freedom which sustained them
amidst perils and deprivations which were
next to martyrdom itself.
The example of celebrating the day, with
determination to repeat the observance
yearly by the people of Middlebury are wor-
thy of universal imitation through the land.
Let the high and holy characteristics Of hu-
man nature which the first settlers Of New
England displayed, be embalmed in the bo-
SONS, and be preserved vivid in the recollec-
tons of this mighty nation. II the day of
our independence, which was only glori-
Gus emanation of their virtues and heroic
deeds should be celebrated, that day which
saw the pilgrims of New England planting
their feet upon the rock Of Plymouth, with
the firm and pious resolve to found a nation
free from the tyranny of the crown and the
mitre, should not be suffered to fade from the
memory of all future generations. To them
we owe our free and happy institutions, and to
our observance of their noble example and
principles we shall owe their
should heaven vouchsafe us such
a blessing.
We subjoin the expression of a friend
on this subject, whose rich aud comprehen-
sive style of eloquence adorns whatever it
touches, but does not surpass in this in
stance the merits of his theme.
81 am very glad that day is becoming
a widely observed anniversary. It's inhu.
ence, think. will be salutary on the NOR
al feeling and manners of New England
and her children, and conservative of what
is most valuable in New England civiliza.
ion. The memory of such a day is
blessed power in human history, q life.

RAILROAD CONVENTION.

The impulse given to the prosperity of 9th
er States, by the construction of Railroads
within their borders, has induced many citi-
zens Of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and
Vermont, to entertain the project of con-
structing one from Fitchburg, through Keene
to Bellows Falls, to be extended afterwa ards
by Burlington to Canada, thus forming
means ofrapid intercourse, through aproduc-
tive country, on the most direct route, be-
tween Boston and Montreal.
Surveys of the most difficult parts of this
route have been made, the practicability of
the route ascertained, and the grades have
been found less steep, and the necessary ex-
penses less, than was generally anticipat-
ed.
All persons in the States of Massachusetts,
NewHampshire and Vermont, favorable to
this project, are invited to attend, by them
selves or delegates, at the Town Hall, in
keene. on WEDNESDAY, the 9th day
of DECEMBER instant, at 10 o'clock A.

Signed by forty citizens of New Hamp-
shire, near the contemplated route.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDING
THE TARIFF.

As we prophesied amoug the very A.,
moves in this congress would be an at,am..
to repeal the present tariff. And here !,
comes in the House in the shape of rr.ot,
ton of Mr.. Rhett to instruct the COmmi,,.,
of Ways and Means to bring in a bill to r.
peal the present tariff, and in the Senate firm,
Mr.. McDufee a resolution to modify III.
present tariff in conformity to the old Chm.
promise act. The first resolution was
jected by a vote of l07. TO II most of III,
northern Van Buren, men voting aeaips, !,
But why should this be, most of these men
opposed the passage of the acI to the ve-v
last extremity, but 20 in the House, and bn,
a in the Senate voting for it; after its passus.
threatened its repeal with savage fury. A,
the moment of its passage Mr.. Wrigh, de-.
clared his hostility to it. Recently Mr.. Van
Buren, himself has declared, hare not NJ
any time hesitated to express my decided Dis
appreciation af the Tariff act Of last session

with southern principles, and his party would
do if they dare. But the tariff has won ia
way to the favor of the people by the obvious
and solid benefits they have derived from il.
The locofocracy have discovered this, and
they dare not strike the deadly blow which
they evidently meditated. But after all tho
tariff may not, and is not safe from mors
indirect attack. Insidious attempts will be
made to undermine what cannot be openly
Frustrated. Pretexts will not be wanting to
mar its protective features. One has already
been mentioned which is, that the tariff on
certain protected articles is too high for reve-
nue., and this must be enhanced by reducing
it. But whatever success may follow hosil-
ity to the tariff in the house, we believe il
will be perfectly safe in the senate against
the innovations Of men who would il they
could find their account in il, sacrifice the
tariff to their schemes of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT re-

The Posr OFFICE DEPARTMENT.--The
report of Mr. WickLffe. The Post Master
General, is clear and full in lis statement Of
facts, and recommending such reform as
he deems expedient, leaving others to the
judgment Of Congress. The following is
brief summary Of lis contents The a.
mount of mail transporalion for lS43 has
been 35,252, sos. miles al cost of 81,
976, 2S4, that Of 1912 was 1891
miles. at cost of 2,ll0.7s3; the cost
having diminished sl34,49e, while The
number Of miles has increased 4l,641.
The aggregate deductions Of the service
amounting to Sl34,252; additional SER
vice Ss9,555.
The total expenses of the Department in
1913, we're s4,374, 713, including debts;
in 1852, S4,975.37O.
The gross revenue for ls42,$,295.9
%; that Of 1912, s4,546.246.
The Subject Of mail failures. with its
causes, is fully ireated. Much of the d.
minution in The revenue is charged to the
interference Of private expresses, of which
full history is given. with an exposition
Of The manner in which they iniure the SER
vice. Reasons are given why they cannot
take The place of the Department, The chief
is that of which they would be confined en-
tirely 10 the profitable mail routes of the
country, while The distant points would be
neglected. Mr.. Wickliffe explains and
vihdicates his own action in the matter,
and submits the whole TO Congress.
In speaking of the reduction of postage,
he gives full and most valuable history
of the British experiment, with an &C.
count OF its results, in which he shows tnat
the main correspondence in consequence
of il has been increased, and the revenue
greatly lessened, and still The income of
the British Post Office is greater than the
cost of its management. Mr. Wickliffe
has taken means to procure very accutate
information from all the pos: offices in the
United States. Of the relative number Of
letters paying different rates of postage,
which he intends 10 submit to Congress
soon. lfCongress chooses to make the
expenses of the Department charge up
on the National Treasury, reduction is
recommended. lfnot, he urges Of least
a conformity of rates 10 the coins Of The
United States. Printed matter should Be-
more justly equalized, The ranking privil-
eyes restricted, and other notifications eff
ected.--N. Y. Cour. 8. Eng.

In regard to the construction of of a branch
from Nashua TO Groton, eleven miles, to meet
the Fitchburg road, we are told by one of the
directors that the route is now under survey
and that the people of Nashua will give the
land to extend it to the Massachusetts line.
The monopoly Of the Nashua and Lowell
roads will then be avoided and we are also
told by the same gentleman, that where those
companies now receives 100000 for tolls
from the Concord company, the amount will
be reduced to S25, 900, and the rates of freight
and passage over the whole route to Boston
will meet with proportionate reduction
