OF The flying ship now building in
Paris is now so far advanced that the
spectator is able TO form an idea of the
plan ON which NJ. Petin hopes to render
his balloon-vessel navigable. The mo-
tive power is on the screw principle,
worked by two small steam engines. and
appears TO be fully equal to the purpose
intended. The most remarkable parts
of the affair, however, are the leaves or
wings with which it is supposed the
navigator will be able to ascend or de.
scend at will.

Vermont state Convention

The Democratic State Convention of Yer
mont met at Montpelier, the 22d inst, and nom
mated the Hon. Timothy p. Redtield. one of the
Judges Of the Supreme Court, for Governor. in
place of Lncius b. Peek who declined out of
tender regard for the Fugitive Slave Law. and
tor the hope OF pap under the Federal Govern
ment Mr.. Redfeld made a most eloquent
speech IN accepting the nomination. The fol-
lowing are the Resolutions adopted:
ReSotUed. That we here again assert. as we
have heretofore, our unwavering fidelity to
Democratic principles-that foremost among
these principles we maintain that this Govern
ment was ordained, and the Constitution adopt
ed to protect all its citizens in life, liberty and
property, and that the government should be ev-
er, and perpetually active in the discharge of
that high trust
ReSOired, That any attempt to foist the nst-
tuition OF Slavery upon Territory under the juris-
diction Of the Union-any Legislation of Con-
gress that exposes the free citizens OF Sovereign
State to perpetual Slavery, without due process
OF law-that denies the trial by Jury, and strips
oil the panopIy of the great writ OF right, is an
invasion of the legitimate Sovereignty of the
States, and an infringement on the guarantees of
the Constitution, and should be prOmtly repell-
cd
Reso1rod, That eternal feaIty to those prin-
cipies which deny all these rights to the citizen
we cannot recognize, as others do, as the test Of
Democracy.
ReSylred, That we discover but one distinct
I'VE feaIureot the Wing party in lis present place
as shadowed by the present Administration, f.
denly 10 slavery, the maintenance of its suprem-
acy and iuyiolabity. We shall, therefore, op-
pose the Wing party-its principles it has
none.

Daring NIIIainY.

We have just been informed of the most dar-
ing piece of vilany in horse-theyng, which
has transpired yet. The deed was done in mid
day, and the horses were taken from Judge
Stoddard. 1t appears that he asked young
man at the head of the pier, to see that his horses
did not leave while he could go down to the boat.
The fellow waited for the Judge to get ont of
sight, then jumped into the carriage, drove up
town, and takes in the wife of one of our cit-
zens and drives deliberately off
As soon as the Judge had discovered his loss,
teams were dispatched for the offender. We
hope the Judge will have the sentencing of him.
IL The individual who took coat belong
ing TO ISAAC GEORGE the other day, is perfectly
welcome to it, we are authorised (by the Bish-
OPP to say if he has no other. But the Bishop

1t is pretty generally believed, that Doolittle
whose dead body gave the citizens so much trou-
bic last week, took horse from Terence lIcKen-
ma, and went off to Watcrtown and sold it. Mr..
Mchenna it seems was chasing the living scamp,
while some of our keen-scen:ed citizens was
snuitIng his dead corpse. Well, we never heard
of more heartless, braiuless transaction, than
this fellow, turned horsethief. To sacrifice for
hte--reputation, honor and good name, upon
the whtcned locks of his venerable and respect
able parents--is a stupidity that is unheard of,
and crmaaity, that long years of good bcha-
vior can never atone.
With plenty in his pocket, plenty at his faith
ers board, and plenty in store, who can account
for his ridiculous folly and his wicked crime.
There is no doubt but that a regularly organ
lied gang of horse thieves exists through this
region the state-and perhaps this young man
in his journey west and north became acquant-
ed with some Of the company, and thought this
would be nice way to begin his fortune in the
world. Short sighted fellow he is to be pitied
tor he IS not old and hardened in crime this
must be the first offence of the kind.
And if he can be saved from further errors.
1t Will be better for the world, and better for him
than relentless and vindictive punishment. The
parents and friends of the family deserve more
OF our sympathy than if we had been successful
IN finding bis corpse. l, is unfortunate for an
other individual, who has had his grass trampled
and destroyed by those who were in search for
his body and some remuneration (as far as re-
Enumeration can be made in the shape of money!
should be made, for the implied suspicion which
has rested upon an innocent man.
MoRE CRIME.-Tho house of Mr.. f. L. Smith
was entered on Tuesday, while the family were
in rear room, and box of WAX work made
into flowers and other ornaments was taken
away. The offender was a girl but , years old

were destroyed.

SUITS IN WISCONSIN.


A Sttie Agricultural Society having been or
gained, the proper officers elected, and the FIRST

Agriculture is Scicnce--should be taught
as q science, learned as a science, and practiccd
on scientific principles. Then and not till then,
will its Importance be fully developed, and those
who till the soil, reap the reward of wel-drccted
labor. 1t is to aid in bringing about so desirable
state OF things, that an agricultural society has
been organized, and the friends of the enterprise
invited to become members and attend the first
fair at GAINESVILLE, as above stated, at which time
an appropriate address will be delivered by Hon
john LathroP, Chancellor of the University OF
Wisconsin.
Owing to absence OF requisite amount Of funds,
the executive committee have deemed in inadvi-
sable as yet, to prepare list of premiums. which
