OLD lacks JUG.-Tho following excel
lent temperance story is told by the editor OF
tho Grand River Eagle. If the old hero can
introduce the use of the kind of jug recon.
mcnded by him, he will have achieved a VIC
tory over his country's direst foe, which will
far transcend the trophies of the battle field
I" We were highly amused yesterday. On
the bridge that passes the tumblng waters of
the Grand Rapid, we met a hale old man, with
II sons, Z Daughters, 81 grandchildren and
his own wife-the only one he ever had-with
numerous horses, carts, wagons, oxen. COWS
and furniture OF very antiquated appearance,
among which were to be seen cradles for ba-
bies. cradles for grain, spinning wheels, pots,
Kettles and almost everything requisite for a
settlement, such as 81 blood relations will
make in the Grand River country. After
stopping the tram and making many inquiries,
We asked the old gentleman what use there
could be Of bottomless jug, which was care
fully laid in a safe place, among his domestic
equipment, and received the following reply
Why, sir, am man of many years and
lots of children, and have worked other peo-
pies land, all my days, paid to bushels of
grain an acre rent, for so doing, have all that
time used ing with bottom in it, and got
sick OF feedin other people with my hands,
either landlord or rumseller so / sent of my
boys to Mexico to fight for some land, and
they all got back safe, after fghtin' with Gen.
Taylor, time enough to vote for him and they
got quarter sections of land, that please
God, will be our own without rent And now,
that old jug you see there, tpointing at the
bottomless thing,) shall hold all the whiskey or
rum that will be used in my whole family
while control EN-; because old Gineral Tay-
Tor told my SON John that jug without bot
tom WAS the best kind of jug to put liquor
M and if he was my son John, he'd serve the
Jugs to hum just as they did the Mexicans,
take away their power 10 kill US. Good day"

LOCAL MATTERS.

The sudden death Of Mr.. NICHOLS, no.
ticed in our paper last week, was occasioned
by the rupture of large artery, near the heart
as appeared from post norton examina-
ton, on Tuesday. Mr.. Nichols bore an ex-
celent character, and had the respect and
confidence of all who knew him.
Professor CARR, of the Castleton Medi-
cal School. has been lecturing on Chemistry
during the last two weeks, before the Senior
and Junior classes in Middlebury College.
His series of Lectures were fully attended, and
we'll merited the favor with which they were
received, both by the members of College and
by large number of our citizens.
The annual exhibition of the Junior
Class, in Middlebury College, occurs this eve
ning-April 24th-at the College Chapel.
The Summer Term of the Female SEM
mary, under charge of DR.. LArHRoP, com
menced on Wednesday last. The best teach
ers are employed in the several departments,
and, from present appearances, the laudable
exertions of the Principal to make the school
worthy of public confidence and patronage,
are likely to be met with corresponding in
terest and support, on the part of the commu-
nifty.
AT meeting of the Civil Authority ofthis
town, on Wednesday last, the following per-
sons were approved as retailers of spiritnous
liquors, according to the provisions of the stat
ute, viz: w. 7. Russell, S. Moody, j. Wood,
and II. A. Sheldon.
Professor TwINING, formerly of Middle
bury College, arrived in town. from the West,
last week. We understand that he is soon to
commence the survey of Railroad from Pitts
burgh to Cincinnati-an important work,
which his extensive experience and distin-
guished abilities as Civil Engineer, eminent
ly qualify him to superintend. Prof. T. has

a1rNIoN OF THE DEMOCRACY"

The Burlington Sentinel,which had hitherto
kept silence, while the other Opposition papers
were indulging in the extravagant and fascin-
ating visions of union, to which we referred
last week, at length speaks out boldly, and We
nv decidedly, against this suicidal project.
The Sentinel, in conclusion, says:
"Lay not then Messrs. enthusiastic free
sellers, of all grades and shapes, the fiattering
JUNCTION to your hearts, that the great body of
the Democracy of Vermont are to desert their
cherished principles, and choose for their
standard bearers, such men as Field, Shatter
and Barber, or that the Democracy will allow
within its borders the stray sheep from the
folds of its natural enemies, unless they are
thoroughly cleansed of all that is bad and I'M
pure"
With reference to the position taken by the
Sentinel, the Free Soil paper at Burlington
remarks
"If that paper is to have charge of the
Cass men, we can assure it, and its friends the
Taylorites, that they need not keep awake
nights with the fear of any union with the
Free Democracy under the guidance Of such
a spirit as peryades that article. The Senti-
mel clings to national party in union with
Shareholders, and such party is one which
,re shall never belong to, unless we change
our mind
This last sentence contains most singular
avowal-and will, of course, be repudiated BY
every Abolitionist not strictly of the Garrison
School. AL others, we believe, at least pro-
tess an attachment to the Union, and some lit.
tie respect for the Constitution founded by
our Revolutionary Fathers.
