wake. Jim seed him comm, and he put
spurs to his hoss, that is to say, he stuck his
spike into the ico and pushed ahead, as if he
was escaping from railroad. On went Doc
tor Phil like whirlwind, and he was over
takin' Jim, hand over hand, or rather heels
over head, and was jest runnin afoul on him,
when the troth fetched lump and shcered
of at tangent. The boys all stopped and
looked at the schoolmaster, some on 'em
eenamost astonished out of their breath, and
others reddy to bust lafin.' Whiz went
the troth down the steepest part of the hill.
An old log, half buried in the ice, lay right
acrost Doctor Phl's path, and the boys all
knew mighty wall what was comin,' for some
ON 'em had been shipracked on that log a.
fore. "He'l git hsted, now, sartin'!" said
Sy Harrington, jumpin' up and down, and
slappn' his thighs; "there he goes, by ho-
key" and sure 'nuff there he did go, Cor
the troth struck the log and leaped six foot
intu the air, throwin' Doctor Phil ten foot
down the hill, whirlin' over and over like a
buzz, and hencver stopped till he went splash
ntu bilin' spring, where the cattle went
tu drink and had trod it full of soft mud.
"Where's the schoolmaser?" shouted Jim
Wright, crawlin' out of the snow bank where
he had landed, and shakin' the snow out of
his hair; "cracky! if didn't think he'd ketch
me at one time.n
The boys all run to the bilin' spring, and
there lay Doctor Phil Ant'ny, all kivered
with mud and snow, groanin' aloud, and
tears of anger and agony startin out of his
eyes. His thigh and one rib was broke
Phil was kind harted man, and the boys all
loved him. He used 10 talk savage tuus some-
times, but then he didn't used to hurt u.s.
The little boys stood round and cried when
Phil told us that his leg was broke, and the
big ones looked sorry, and took holt on him,
keerful, and kerricd him to the schoolhouse,
and then pulled him over tu fathers on a
hand-sled. Our beloved schoolmaster never
got up agin.
Long fingered our poor friend
Upon that bed of pain,7
The doctors could not mend
His shattered bones again.
He called his scholars all
Around his dying bed
And whilst our tears did fall
Thus solemnly he said:
"My pupils, fare thee well!
My race is almost run;
Sadly my heart doth swell,
AS you kiss me one by one,
When down the schoolhouse hill
Again you go tu slide,
Oh, look out for that cursed log
And turn your sleds asidem
Then bowed his head and died.
The boys sobbed and cried,
And we never rid down the schoolhouss hill ar
terwards.

THE DEAD COW BROOK SCHOOL.

The DEAD COW BROOK SCHOOL.
IN Poetry and prose, By CrneI Pardon
Jones, 3. S. W
IUNE-"Woodman Spare that Tree"
When but little boy
Tu Cow Brook School went;
First Webster was my Joy,
Then DabOl my intent:
Murray went clean through
And learnt his rules by heart,
And read in the "Precsptor" tew,
And then in the Third Part.n
Then o'er the crusted snow,
With Joyous steps trod;
The white birch bending low
With icicles did nod
With hand-sled in my hand
The hill. side steep sought,
And joined the merry band,
And the way we used tn ride down
hill, one arter another, over the glare ice, and
sometimes clean smack acrost the swamp medder
pond at the foot was caution to railroads.
Phil Ant'ny was our schoolmaster,
A learned man was he;
In 'rithmetc he'd gone as fur
AS the Double Rule of Three
He'd studied physic, tew, I'D
And where he boarded round
He cured worms and tizzick tew
With roots dug from the ground.
r. Upon the hill it stood,
That schoolhouse old and warm,
With that big pile of wood,
1t laughed at cold and storm.
The hillside slope in front,
Now glorious tu the view!
We used u, slide full half mile
IN sled. ans dug-outs, tew!

Slavery Must Cease.

The spirit Of the age, and the points of ee-
walton which we have gained in the progress of
events, are against the institution of slavery; and
that institution is destined certainly to fall. 1t
is system at varience with the settled views of
mankind, and with principles now established,
and from which our race is not to 90 backward.
Everything which has been developed in the
long track Of ages and in the revelation Of God
about the essential equality of man, the fact that
all are of one race, that the same blood has been
shed for human redemption, and that the same
is open to all, is against this institution. Every
thing that has been elected or established about
the dignity of man, the nobleness of the soul, the
honor of human nature, the distinction between
intellect and matter, between man and the brute,
is against the existence of the institution Ev-
cry blow that has been struck in the cause OF
liberty, either in this, or in the old world every
struggle of the Puritans for freedom here, is a.
gainst the spirit of this institution. Every COM
mon school, academy, and college in the land
aud all the views which we have adopted, that
the human mind, as such, has right to instruc-
tion-all that is sacred in the right of trial by
jury, and all our views that every accused man,
no matter what his color, has such right all
our convictions that the Bible is made for man
kind, and is to be withheld from none aud all
the deep-elt and nextinguishable convictions
which men are settling upon, that every man has
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1846-09-03

right to the fair avails of his own labor all
these things are against this institution. All
the settled notions of religion, too, are against
it; and it is only by warfare upon the plan
and indispensable principles of the Bible, that it
is maintained.
From these fixed points in regard to liberty,
education, trial by jury, the right to read, and
the right to the avails of labor, our race do not
90 backward. These are matters settled now,
in the age in which we live 'One generation
passeth away, and another generation cometh,
but these principles, like the earth, abide for
ever The spirit of Slavery is coming more in
to contact every year with those great principles;
and as they acquire deeper hold on the mind,
the mind becomes more repellant to the system.
" The opposition made to the institution in this
land and this age is not the ebullition of passion
or excitement 1t is the spirit of the aye against
growth of centuries, the result of con-
Act, the fruit of liberty, the of$pring Of religions
and if any thing may be predicted in regard to
the future, it is, that, somehow, THE INsrITU-
TON OF SLAVERY MUST CEASE FOREVER"

CUTTING Conn STALKs-A friend from Mil
ton inquiries for our opinion as to the best time
of cutting corn stalks, aud the best mode of har-
vesting corn. He says he has long been in the
practice Of topping his corn quite early-he be-
gins as soon as the silk appears, cuts and feeds
out to his fat:ing hogs that eat up the whole stalk
greedily.
He says he has been through his whole field,
emitting down four rows and leaving four, and he
thinks the ears are better where he cuts thus
early than in the case of cutting i'll September,
This is certainly contrary TO the common no.
ton and the common practice of farmers. Ma
ny experiments have been made which seemed
to prove conclusively that early cutting of the
tops is injurious to the ears. If the tops can be
cut with safety at this early period we can have
corn fodder enough without planting exclusively
for that purpose.
Our friend seems to be aware that some por-
ton of the tops must be left standing to impreg-
nate the silk of the ears, and we should suppose
that one half of the field would be needed tc
furnish full supply for the whole.
If any of our readers think that farther expe.
rments are necessary to determine this matter il
will be easy to try few rows, and now is the
time for tral.-Ibid.

FATTENING Hoes, 1t is good policy to com.
mence fattening pretty early, for pork can be
made at less cost in mild weather than in win.
ter. AT this season weeds from the garden and
fields will aid little, and sweet apples that have
fallen will do more service in the hog-pen than
under the tree, where the worms that are in
them would make their appearance next spring
in the form of insects
Hogs are fond of variety, and in August and
September they can be gratifed at small cost
Purslane, that now covers the ground in many
gardens is grcedily dovoured by hogs aud who
knows but this weed has as much power to fitten
as the tops Of corn have? Charcoal should be
occasionally thrown into the pen; birthstone
should be mixed in the liquid food, and little
meal improves sour milk and whey When
your sweet corn is full, the corn may be cut up
at the roots, and the whole may be cut fine
with an axe. The cob will be eaten with the
corn, and the whole will prove economical food
Well fed hogs make better manure than haIfied
animals, and now your hayng hurry is over you
have time to add loan that will make the peu
smell sweeter than some kitchens that you pass

designs of the Liberty patty especially among clergy
men II this and neighboring States.
In the afternoon the expediency and practicability
of establishing Liberty paper in this part of the State
was considered, and a committee of five appointed
who were instructed to examine more fully into the
subject and to call convention ifthey deemed ad-
vsable The committee were,
Hon. W. e. Shafter of Townshend,
Doct Dana Hyde, of West Townshend

0. L. Shafter ESQ.,, of Wilmington, and
Doct o. j. Martin, of Brattleboro'.
The following resolution was introduced and ably
supported by Rev. Sumner Lincoln of Jamaica:
Resolved That the claims of the American Slaves,
on our benevolent sympathy and aid, paramount to
those of any other needy suffering class of our fellow
men.
Which resolution, and with the two following were
severaly discussed and passed:
Resolved, That we no longer hold ourselves respon-
sbe to suppress slave instruction in these United
States-but say to the Shareholders ''you must hold
them at your peril"
Resolved, That we hereby mutually pledge our
selves that we will never again vote for STAKEHOLDER,
abettor of slavery, knowing him to be such, to
any office within our gift
On motion the proceedings of the convention were
and forwarded to the Freeman for publication.

The address of the Hon. John P. Hale on Wednes-
day afternoon at the Rev. Mr. Pomroys Meeting house
was the most able, lucid dgnfed and impressive po-
litical speech delivered in this city. 1t took its
stand on the immortal principle of human rights and
most faithfully tested the predominant legislation of
this nation by that principle. The house was full,
crammed and oyerfiowing that many could not stand
within hearing and reluctantly went away But though
there such crowd, all were held in silence ex-
cept when silence was broken by apturous applause,
for more than two hours. All parties were there, and
during the whole, not a note, not gesture was wit
messed in any part of the vast audience, indicative OF
want of respect to the speaker or his subject How

Preparing Meadows for English Grass.

August with some farmers is comparatively

stored they seem to have nothing to do Once
it was customary to devote many days to NOV

try becomes cultivated other matters claim more
attention
Our neglected low grounds are found to bt
the best kinds of land for moving and they
want nothing but good management to be made
to bear the best cultivated grasses. As soon as
haylng and reaping are over, we ought to be drain

seed. Good judgment is needed to determine
what meadows are best adapted to English fol
it is not advisable to SOW the cultivated grasses
on every lot of every farm.
Some natural meadows bear good burthen
of grass that is very good for young stock, and
for COWS in the coolest weather, and this without
any dressing or cultivation They are overflow.
ed by water at certain seasons, and some OF
these wet meadows bear the tall bluejont, We
ry valuable fodder.
Every farmer wants some of the uncultivated
kinds for his stock, for every farmer finds it diff
icult to manure all his grass lands These nat
ural meadows aid us much in keeping stock, and
it is well to have some on every farm.
Such meadows should by no means be drain.
ed many farmers have injured lands of this
kind by ditching Water is the life Of them
and the water should be suffered to spread as
equally as possible over the surface. Stagnant
water should never be permitted to remain on
them, for it sours and favors none but the very
poorest grasses it is moving water that favor
the better kinds
Ditch no meadow therefore which you have
not determined to reclaim thoroughly Let ii
lie as it is, or make clean work of it. If you
do your work well, you can hardly fail of repay

hay will not cost you much more than half "a

Many farms may be brought to this at yer
