The ErFEcTs.--A young man from Frederick,
was brought before Justice Smith. He was in al an
extreme state Of intoxica!ion The night before he
was taken 10 the watch house. where, in the absence
of reason, he made desperate attempt to tear up
the bench which had been assigned him for his bed.
But what to do in the presence Of the magistrate be

crow Of ten men. She brough, in four prisoners,
Portuguese, who were found on board at the time
Of hor capture. We agreo with the National
Intelgencer, tina, i. is dcvou.lv to be hoped that
all of whatever country, who shall be convicted
Of having boon engaged, whether directly or lndi-
roctIy, III the inhurnan affair, MAJ be made TO

1t is remarkable that within the same week

FOREST MELODIES.
love the fine old forest,
That for centuries hath stood.
And waved its lofty branches
Grandly in the solitude;
Mid it's glories and its graces,
A stately grandeur dwells;
And Natures hand there traces
All her bright and magic SPELLS
Its shades are full Of voices,
Ever ringing joyous out;
From its trembling whispered breathings,
To the storms wild boisterous shout
And its notes. so deeply thrilling,
From the dark recesses start,
And swell through ether, shilling
The quick beatings Of the heart.
When the gorgeous robe Of spring-time
Hath arrayed them in its green,
And the leaves are bright with dew drops,
CHANGING in the mornings sheen:
Then its full enchanting chorus
With rapture we have heard,
For the songs are round and DER us
OF each gladstone forest bird.
Or when the sere of Autumn
Hath fastened on the leaf,
And clad the Summer gories
With the fading garb of grief;
One fearful strain Of sorrow
Will thy songsters sadly chime,
Ere they fit upon the morrow
To some far and sunny cline.
We have heard the gentle zephyrs
Stealing through the waving boughs,
With melody enhancing
AS the maidcns whispered vows.
And tho storm wind, as it rushes
In its wild and mad career,
The bravest bosom bushes
To a solemn awe and fear.
Fen the frosty reign of Winter
Hath n cheerful minstrelsy,
AS tho ice of morning falleth
From the tall and stately tree.
And the heart can feel no power
In the poets sweetest lay,
Like the music of the shower
In some Summers sultry day.
oh. love the brave old forest,
That for centuries hath stood,
And waved its lofty branches
Grandly in the solitude.
My home is in its bosom,
Where no human foot hath trod;
My companion the wild blossom,
And my trust in Natures God.

FINE wool.

Tue question which a Vermont Farmer

the most profitable for the TO produce !" For
wool must be our great stable. We answer
the finest you can prodace, from sheep which
have a hardy constitution and Weld sIclra guam
tity as will remunerate the Farmer for his labor
aud bring back a far return on his investment.
Wiea every thing is sacrificed to mere ~fneness,
the farmer will find that the more business he
does, he poorer he will be. But we can rear
a kind OF sheep in Chittendcn County that will
shear heeces worth 50, on average. When
our wool buyers and manufacturers will make
the discrimination which they ought, this NAV
be done as vel with sleep that will Weld three
or three and a half pound heeces as with sheen
that will yield four and a half and five pound
~fleeces. This discrimination has never We,
been made, 50 that there has been but little mo.
tive to improvement. We have now some fine
flocks in the county, and ! hope, for one, iha'
if we cannot have fair prices paid Us il The coun

together as is sometimes done IN other places
and 90 to a market that wi! pay them what il

THO~ROUGK-BRED STOCK.

There are certain signs Of the times which
warrant the conclusion that thorough bred stock
OF all kinds will command good prices for a fe "
years to come, and will be sought after with
avidiy' There is a spirit OF improvement
abroad in the land--semelhing better and no.
bier than the splrlt Of boarding money. We
long TO see a spirit of literally in matters of
this kind, that viii compare with EnpIard in
the prod uciion Of fine stock. The fault with
Americans is that in all their investments they
look for instant returns, while time and patience
and the employment of not a smal outlay Of
capital is necessary for any really valuable i'm.
provement. We have a little fine thorough.
bred stock in Chiltendeu County, and every year
is increasing tho amount and variety. What a
change has been effected in sheep within the
space of two years Several of our citizens
have introduced fine sheep Of the Merino and
Saxon races, and the best flock now existing in
the United States, probably is owned IN this
Countrywide Rambouillet Merinos. Every at
tempt at introducing fine stock ought to meet
with encouragement from The public. Let Vi
be true to ourselves, and let the spirit Of in.
provement go on, and Chiiienden may be un-
surpassed by any Of the Counties Of the State.
Not one has within itself more of the Datnra
resources Of wealth.

In every motion grace was hers
Ga every feature sweetness dwelt ;
Thoughts soon became her worshippeis-

But Autumn winds grew wild and chill,
And pierced her with their icy breath
And when the snow on plain and hill
Lay white, she passed, and slept in death.

With things too beautiful for earth
Alone do we remember her.
