DEPARTURE OF REV. DIR. JUDsON

turn of this honored veteran to his field of labor
cannot but awaken thought in reference to the great
scheme of missions which distinguishes the pres
ent age.
The idea of filling the whole world with the
light and blessings OF Christianity, is certainly en-
nobling to the man who cherishes it. And what
ever some may think of the practicabllity OF the
thing, the attempt must be regarded as one of the
most stupendous enterprises of modern times
Nor can this enterprise be considered as visIona.

and when it is recoected that experience, too, has
given its sanction to the value aud praccability OF
the missionary work.
Thirty four years ago, when this same Judson
embarked at Salem, on the first Christian mission
from this country, how different the aspect Of affairs
from what is now beheld He went forth almost
alone upon what was regarded an experiment, with
only very few interested in his success. Fol

IMPORTANT MEETING OF WOOL GROW
Frs

At meeting of wool growers, holden at the Of
fee of the Mddlesex Company, in Lowell, Mass,
the first day of July, 1886 representatives. from
the eight following States being present, Wit
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Con-
necticut, New York, Pennsy lvania, Virginia and
Oho-Samuel Lawrence, Esq, of Massachusetts,
was called to the Chair and G. Dana, of Ohio, ap-
pointed Secretary. After opening the meeting, an
important and very interesting discussion took
place, on the relative properties of the Saxon and
Merino sheep and more especially of their fleeces,
in which Mr.. Brown, (of the firm of Perkins and
Brown, of Ackron, Ohio,) and advocates for the
excellence of the Saxon breed, and Mr. Jacob N.
Blakesiee, of Connecticut advocate for the excel
lence of the Meino breed, largely and most inter-
estingly participated Those gentlemen, after va
rious propositions, with the aid and appreciation of
the meeting, came to, and agreed upon the follow
ing manner of testing, and, far could be done,
settling the question of the relative value of those
two important breeds Of sheep

Perkins a. Brown, in the presence of Guy Wal
cult OF Summit County, Ohio, are to select forty
lambs, which said Walcott is to see shorn, and is
to certify that they were Of the flock and bred by
said Perkins g. Brown, and that they were shorn
at or about one year of age and at the clip Of 1647
The said Bakesee is to select like number from
his flock, which are 10 be shorn at the same age, in
the presence of N. B. Smith, of Connecticut at
the clip of lS47, who is to make like certificate
as the one above descrbed-which certificates are
to accompany the wool Of the said lambs to the
Middesex Company, and to be placed in the hands
Of Samuel Lawrence, Esq, who is to be the umpire
to decide upon the merits of the two lots--and it
is understood that the wool is to be stapled and
secured, and the rdlue of each fleece placed against
it-and to give the gentlemen competitors and the
world, his decision and his views at large on the
comparative excellency Of the two kinds OF sheep
and their fleeces; and the wool growers through
out the United States, are respectively and earn
estly invited to participate in this competition, the
results of which are deemed important to the wool
interest," aud TO shear at the clip Of lS47 a like
number Of lambs land if there be any variation
from one year in the age, have the certificate state
that variation particularly and TO obtain the proper
and well authenticated certificates, and send them
with the clip to the above named umpire, who will
report upon the whole, and award the need of hon
or to whom it may be due, and make the report
public. The reader will understand that Perkins
e. Brown have very choice flock Of Saxons, and
Mr.. Bakesee, a very choice lot of Merinos
1t was unanimously voted that this report be signed
by the Chairman and Secretary, and published in
the Lowell Courier, and that the papers friendly to
the wool interest throughout the country, be re-
quested to copy.

TIE GEOLOGICAL. SIIRVEY.

One Of the gentlemen employed in the Geoog-
ical Survey of this State, with whom we had an
interview the other day, speaks of the agricultural
resources that are disclosed by it, as wonderful
The western praries are mlserably poor, consider
ed as land to be used for generations, in COMPARE
son with extensive regions in Vermont. We have
many thousands of acres, distributed through those
regions, that covered 18th the richest manure,
and in such state that it may lie for ages without
deterioration; deposites of muck, equal TO hog
nure in some places, and beds of mari, nexhausti-
BILE in quantity, and situated, sometimes, ian i'm
mcnse one in Willamstown, for instance, that
with proper arrangements, lime Of the first quality
may be furnished from them at an expense of only
six cents bushel. One muck and mari deposit
EPs been examined which is estimated to be more
valuable than any iron mine in the state. region
East of the mountain is supposed to be the richest
in these deposites; and is probably equal to any
spot in the Union for permanent agricultural use.
The Central and Passumpsic Railroads will both
penetrate it.
Copper has been found in one or two places, cast
of the mounain, in such state and quantity as to
encourage the belief that valuable mines may be
opened. In Essex county the specimens are so
pure as to weld iron without any preparation.
How the Vermont ores will compare with those
of Lake Superior we are not informed. Specimens
that we have seen of the latter are not properly
ores, but metals so intermingled with rock as 10
require only ulechanlcal means 10 separate H.
Pulverizc the masses, and the copper and silver
are separated in pure state. We understand
from DR.. Hayes, who has investigated the subject
thoroughly for Boston Company, that such is the
uniform character of the Lake Superior mines.
DR.. Hayes does not suppose that the large guam
titles OF copper that are soon to be brought into
market will essentially reduce the price, Its uses
keep place with the supply and very slight re-
ducton of price would occasion vast increase in
the demand in consequence of the new uses to
which it would be applied. 1t is not improbable
that one or two copper mnes least, nay,ere long,
be worried in Vermont.-Y Vermont Chronicle.

ALDEN PARTRIDGE is here, and has under his

run tho race for public favor and patronage with
General RANSOM and the University.
Norwich now enjoys the prospect of becoming

z. ). The small number of graduates at this
commencement is attributable to the fact that the
course of study in the institution has very recently
been enlarged. | understand that the course Of
classical studies is now quite extensive as it is in
New England colleges generally, while that Of the
mathematics is said to be somewhat more extensive
than the average course OF our colleges This
must be gratifying, not only to the friends Of the
.NorU,ch University, but Of sound learning gener-
ally. When the Legislature refused, last autumn,
to allow the Poultncy Seminary the right to confer
degrees, could not reconcile this refusal with the
charter of the Norwich University. And yet, the
ground the Legislature took, in refusing to the
Poultney Seminary the right to confer the degrees
usually conferred by institutions Of higher order,
appears to be quite tenable.
There can be but little doubt that the Norwich
University with its present liberal course of study,
and with its very efficient Professors in the Lam
guages and Mathematics, will soon assume res
Pectabc rank among the collegiate institutions of
the country. That an institution should exist in
New England, with the chartered privileges and
high sounding title Of University, while its course
of instruction ranged but little above that of our
respectable County Grammar Schools, always ap-
peared, to my mind at least, somewhat incongru'

ANEcDoTE.-lt is generally supposed that the
Indian is an exceedingly cunning being unrival-
led in the peculiar kno'yledge of the woods. This
is something of mistake The Indian has the
quick perceptions and the natural sagacity of one
who lives in the woods, but it never surpassed, if
it equalled, the acquired knowledge and percep-
tons OF the pioneer hunter. On one occasion, in
a sort of block-house, an old hunter of the pioneers
was standing in door, when the cry Of wild tur-
key was heard at some distance a youth stood
by the hunter able to bear rife, who, with youth
full impctuosity exclaimed, "there is a turkey -Pll
go and kill it, The hunter listened moment and
said, ono, you are not good shot. Pll go and
give you the turkey" The youth demurred hut
was at length persuaded. The hunter crept out in
an opposite direction from the cry. Slyly he made
his way through the bushes, and at length came
behind the spot where the cries of the turkey were
heard; and concealed by low bushes and brush,
came up ravne. There, before him, in the limbs
of tree was large Indian who was initiating
the cries of wild turkey, to decoy some one from
the bock-house! The hunter shot him and took
his scalp Arriving at the block-house, he threw
it down before the youth, saying" There is your
turkey" The youth was filed with gratitude for
his escape.

THE POOR MANS DAY.

Hail, Sabbath thee hail, the Poor MANS Day pay
Sabbath holy
To the lowly
Still thou art a welcome day.
When thou contest, earth and ocean,
Shade and brightness, rest and motion,
Help the poor mans heart to pray
sun-waked forest,
Bird that soarest
Der the mute empurpled moor,
Thfostlos song that strenm-like nowcst,
Wind that over dow-drop goest,
Welcome now the wo-worn poor.
Little river,
Young forever!
Cloud god-hright with thankful glce,
Happy wOod-biue gladly weeping,
That within the wild rose keeping,
o that they were best as ye!
Sabbath holy
For the lowly,
Paint with flowers thy glitering sod
For Affections sons and daughters
Bid thy mountains, woods and waters
Pray to God, the poor mans God
From the foyer
Idle never,
Where on hope, want bars the door
From the gloom of arless alleys,
Lead thou to green hills and valleys
Plundered Engnnd's ttampled poor.
Pale young mother,
Gasping mother,
Sisters toiling in despair,
Grief:bowed sire, that lifelong dest,
White Tipped child that sleeping slightest,
Come and drink the light and air.
Tyrants curse ye,
While they nurse ye,
Life for dcadliest wrongs to pay;
Yet, o Sabbath bringing gadness
Unto heart of weary sadness,
Still thou art the Poor Mans Day.
Sabbath's Father
Would'st thou rnthcr
Some would curse than all be blessed?
If thou hate not fruit and blossom,
To the oppressor's Goddess bosom
Bring the poor mans day of rest,-
With its healing,
With its feeling,
With his humble trustiul bliss;
With the poor mans honest kindness,
Bless the rich mans heart of blindness
Teach him what religion is
