The di-scouragemcnis which this institution
has had to encounter for a few years past are
fast disappearing. Under an able and accom-
plished faculty who spare no pains to make
good scholars of their pupils, and a system of
instruction emminently calculated to produce
this result, for a year or two past the College
has been gradually winning its way back to the
public confidence. Six or eight students have
recently entered the college, attracted by the
reputation of superior scholarship enjoyed by
the faculty. and those who have finished their
collegiate life under their instruction. In ev
cry respect the prospects of the institution are
Frightening, the zeal of its friends is reenkind-
ling, prejudices are giving away, and it is
gradually indicating its claims to its former
rank among the most stinguished institutions
in New England.

LIcENcEs.-Our accounts from various
quarters of the State are cheering in relation
to the progress of Temperance reform. The
town authorizes in numerous instances have
dlsapproved licences to Inn-keepers TO sell in
toXIcatIng drinks as a beverage. Middlebury
is now to be added to the list. At a meeting
oil the authorities on Wednesday last a power
iul effort was made to obtain ~licence for Mr..
Shaw of the Vermont Hotel, a Landlord who'll
ly u~nexcePtionable in his profession, and one
who has ever been very cautious in dealing
out ilquoss improperly. But the application
was rejected bya vote of 20 to 8 on the ground
OF principle alone. Woodstock has refused
to grant licences by a majority of 146. Weth-
ersheld, Springfield and Hartford, voted by
large majOrities not TO grant licences. Sew
eral other towns might be mentioned. Hart
land is the only town reported in the papers
which has voted to grant licences.

THANKS RETURNED AND FAVORS
SOLICITED.

Mr.. Editor, through your paper l do most
gratefully acknowledge the tokens of kindness
manifested by the children of the Sunday
Schools, to whom l gave an address yesterday
In the Congregational Church. Many good
books and tracts were handed to with some
mites in money. Should others be disposed
TO do likewise their offerings may be sent to
the care of the Rev. DIR. Merrill, or to Mr..
Hagar, bookseller, who have kindly engaged
to forward the SAINT to me for distribution a.
mong the destitute in Canada.
l rejoice to find such a pleasing contrast be-
tween the present time and the time when l
first passed through Vermont. Then l found
no Sunday Schools nor Tract Societies, now
blessed be God find both in almost every
town and village. Ialso find Temperance So
cieties in successful operation. And great
good has been done by those as well as by the
former.
That God may influence all to exert them
selves to suppress vice of everykind and pro-
mote useful knowledge is the sincere desire
aud fervent prayer of
T. OSGOOD.

Washington, Tuesday-March 10.
Mr.. Calhoun's letter to the President,
which may be called his letter of acceptance,
states that he will come on TO Washington in
a few days and arrange the terms on which he
will accept office with the President person.
ally. He does not say in so many words that
he will accept the office of Secretary of State,
but the inference is that he will provided he
can do so Internationally. lie gives the
President to understand that if he cannot take
the office perfectly untrammeled, he will not
do so at all.
After he gets here, his friends say that he
will look round, consult with Senators, as
certain the tone of feeling that exists in the
Senate with regard to the Annexation of Tex
as, and the Oregon Question; and then be-
yond a doubt enter upon the duties of the of
fee for no other purpose than to settle those
two great questions.
As to the present position of the Texas
question, Mr.. Calhoun is well informed on
the negotiations that have taken place be-
tween Mr.. Upshur and Gen. Houston Oh this
subject, he having been in regular correspon-
dence with Mr.. Upshur on this matter up to
the time of his death; and also in correspon-
dence with Mr.. Walker, who has been las |
have told you) the prime move in this matter.
Every thing that has been done by Mr.. Up
sbur and Mr.. Walker, has been done by and
with the advice and consent Of MIR. Calhoun.
MIR. Calhoun still will allow no interference
in this affair; he will settle these two ques-
ions entirely in his own way and if he can
not settle them amicably and honUrably he
will retire and leave them unsettled. But thisI
know, that he considers the territory of Tex
as already as part and parcel of the United
States, and will Insist on its Annexation.
As to Mr.. Mckay's Tariff bill, that will GER
tainly pass the House, and if Buchanan and
Sturgeon will go for it, the bill will pass the
Senate. Silas Wright and Hannegan will 90
for it: the two Louisiana Senators will 20
for it, and they will neutralize the votes Of
the two Tennessee Senators against the bill.

people TO Il solemn observance ofthat day, by
abstaining from all secular employments not
required by necessity or mercy,-by confession
and heartfelt repentance Of all our sins,-and
by humble prayer to God to avert the judg-
ments which are reserved for our transgres-
sions as individuals, and for the oppression,
the intemperance, and the wickedness which
are in the land. Let us acknowledge that
even the severest Affections which any of us
have been called to endure, as well as the most
signal infections OF Divine Providence upon
the nation, are but mercies compared with
the punishment that our sins have most fully
provoked; and with renewed and sincere re-
solves to walk in the fear of God, let us implore
forgiveness for the past. through the merits of
Christour Saviour, and divine wisdomt to guide,
and grace to sustain us. Let us seek His bles-

and obedience TO the laws may prevail-that
our rulers may be wise and faithful men-and
that our religious, literary, and civil institutions
may be sustained and improved for the pro-
motion of righteousness, knowledge, liberty,
and the happiness of our commonwealth
And, finally, let us seek his blessing upon the
Nation, that peace may be maintained-that
its rulers may seek TO promote the welfare of
the hole-that the spirit ofunion and mutual
good will may prevail; and let us pray that
God would put it into the hearts of the Amer
lean People TO abolish Slavery at once and
forever, and to becoTe in all things that hap
Ply people whose God is the Lord; and whose
high privilege it shall be, by their own consis-
tent example, TO commend the inestimable
boon of Christianity and Civil and Religious
Freedom to the acceptance of the world.

INVENTED BYE. P. BANNING MD.

INVENTED BY E. p. BANNING MD.

VIII be kept constantly on hand by DR..
w. p. Russell, of Middlehury, he having
purchased of the Original Patentee the er-
cLusire right to make and reRd the same with
in and for the County Of Addison, VT.
The Patent Lace has now been before the
public for a number of months-hundreds
have been applied in different parts of the
country, and with a success never before
equalled by any REMEDIAL agent. Numerous
well authenticated certificates of its beneficial
influence in the removal Of diseases of long
standing, might be furnished from this imme-
diate vicinity-in addition to the statement
of cases and certificates of cures furnished by
DIR. Banning and others. But this is not
deemed necessary, as at the present time ref
erence can be given to individuals wearing
the Lace in nearly every Town i'll the Coun-
ty.
PHYSICIANS nave long felt the necessity Of
a supporter differently constructed and more
perfect in its adaptation TO the human form
than any that had been presented to the pub
lie. The invention of DIR Banning's meets
with their general appreciation, as it is de-
signed to relieve symptoms, and TO remedy a
class Of physical maladies which can not be
reached by medicines alone.
The decent or displacement of the vicera
from relaxation of the abdominal muscles or
other causes tends TO alter and derange the
function of every organ i'll the human system,
and in many cases this deviatiee from the
natural healthy position Of parts is the sole
cause of general debility in Males & Females
of Dyspepsia, affections Of the Stomach and
Lirer PGipitdtion Of The Heart, Spinal Lrri-
tation, Hysteric HpOcondria, Piles, PrOfaP-
sas Uteri, Suppression Of Urine. The Bron-
chiLs of public speakers, and iRciPient Con-
sumphon-all of which will be much relieved
ifnot entirely removed by the use of the Pa
tent Lace, when their existence is caused by
Physical arrangement and a mechanical dis
placement of parts which can be readily as
certained by observing the form and symP-
toms of the person affected.
This instrument has been examined by
Drs. Mott, Rogers, Frances and Griscomb
of New York, the Faculty Of Pittsburgh,
Hartford and New Haven and has obtained
their favorable testimony.
Application for the Lace can be made at
the honse of the subscriber, two doors south
Of the Court House. Patients at a distance
will be visited at their residence if required.
A specimen of the Lace together with va
rious kinds Of the most approved Trusses
now in use can at any time be examined at
the Druggist store Of Russell & Gridley first
door south of the Post Office.

70 me Senate Of me CHttcd STATES
We the undersigned, citizens, Of the
County ofAddison and State of vermont,
believing that a protective tariff is vital to
the prosperity Of eTery section of our COM
mon country, and that in this respect the
law of 1912 has been highly effective and
benifcent, do regard with extreme re-
gret the bill recently introduced into the
House of Representatives, by which the
present tariff is to be reduced in such a
manner as to strip it of its protective fea-
lures, and again PROSTATE all the great in
terests Of the country.
We do earnestly entreat your honorable
body to refuse your sanction to any altera-
ton of the present tariff, at least, during
this session of Congress. We have no
doubt from the short test it has undergone
that it will t%riumphantly vindicate itself,
even to many of that portion of our coun-
trymen who have hitherto been most hos
tile to it, by yielding an ample revenue to
the treasury, reviving the business, the
enterprise and the hopes of all the indus
trial classes of the community, wherever
in the Union they may be located and
startiug the nation forward in that unri-
vailed career of wealth and greatness
which the observance of a protective poll
cy will infallibly ensure to it.
