MORTALITY AMONG THE FLIES. We have oh
served for several weeks past, says the Freder-
lex Examiner, the death Of an innumerable
quantity of flies. There appears to be a fatal
disease amongst them. They are attacked by
it in the afternoon of the day, when they evince
disposition to seek the moisture, supernduc-
ed in all probability by fever and a consequent
thirst. After slakeing their thirst they appear
to be deprived Of the ability to leave the spot,
become perfectly unneryed and thus suddenly
die. After o'clock in the afternoon numbers
of them are found dead in moist and wet places,
in premature state of decay, and upon enqui-
~ we find it general, and to prevail almost eve
ry where. 1t is argued by some as the effect of
an unhealthy state Of the atmosphere, and by
Others who are not SO phlosophic on the sub
ject, as being the iorerunner OF sickly season
whatever may be the cause and whatever may
follow it, it is nevertheless strange.

Bul, if you claim the name OF Christian,
how can you support navy, useless in
peace, and which in war carries on the
work of death without half the apology or
excuse hat the oIoodshed is useful 10 you.
In he name of common sense, give up
useless murder. DO not make unneceS>
sary slaughter. Defend your country, if
you will, but remember that your trade
and commerce with other countries are not
worth ightiug for, that even were they
worth fighting for | you annihilale trade
aod commerce by the very declaration Of
war.
Unpopular as this view may appear to
some, depend upon it, the lime is rapidly
approaching when fighting will be deems
ed disgraceluI 10 civilized people. 10
saying this, We cast no reflection upon the
officers OF the navy, or upon its present
friends. Their education and habits OF
life cause them 10 look upon this service
in false light When the true light
comes TO their minds, they will be ready
to abandon The navy at once. Onward"

Allow me TO close with a few simple
questions intimately connected with the
facts above stated. Is there no danger
then, | would ask, that Vermont will be
flooded with lazy, incompetent, dssolute
pretendcrs to the name Of teacher, who,
though unable to pass the ordeal roquir-
ed in their own State, will readily pro-
cure schools here, if the wages asked are
sufficiently low? There is something
more in this than a mere surmise. 1t is
becoming well known in the border
towns of New Hampshire, Massachu
sets, and New York, that our teachers
are neither examined nor looked after;
and not few have already availed them
selves Of state of affairs which places
the best and the worst exactly on level.
On the other hand will our respectable
and intelligent teachers consen; to be
classed with this elected scum from a

will be thoroughly known and properly
appreciated And finally, shall we fold
our hands, and patiently submit to a
state of things which has an inevitable
tendency TO drive off the best teachers,
and fill our schools with those who dare
not even offer their services where they
are known? Will this be doing justice 10
the rising generations " i'll they thus
be fitted for an honorable rivalry with
the youth of other States? Is it right that
through our negligence their first move
ments in life should be thus halnpered?-
Surely such questions as these admit
but of one answer. Let US unite, then,
in calling upon our legislature for an
immediate and u thorough eform such
as will raise up our schools 10 the level
of those of the States around US, and
thus enable us to share in the pr ogrcss,
