this place, Oh the lth Of February, condemns
tory Of Ia" course pursued by the last Leg'Sia
tire and GorerHor IN not appointing a State
Superintendent. Having been somewhat in
tcrcstcd III the passage OF that resolution, | beg
permission to O.lcr few remarks in reference
to the structures alluded to.
The Free Pr,ss "hlppcn3 to know lhatit was
the strong desire Of the Governor to exercise
all the Legitimate authority vested in his Office
to counlcract the strange miS'tqslncc Of the
Legislature" But he found 10 authority

that article of our Constitution which insists
that the Governor "shall supply every vacancy
in Office occasloncd by death, or otherwise, un-
til the Office can be filled in the manner direct
ed by Law" The State SUPPLEMENTARY Is
certainly an Office, and the failure of the Leg

because the Legislature has: The Tree Press
does well to speak of the action of the Legls-
| laturc As strange m,icls lncc," which biz
word by Interpretation means Il LreSpnSs. The
Legislature bad no rlglt to leave lhls Office va
cant The statute reads, thee shall be Il
| State Superintendent of common schools, who
shall be annually appointed by the Joint As
sembly." The only legitimate course for the
Legislature would have bccn, TO lave repealed
this statute If the Office were deemed unncces-
sary. Had IA bill plainly unconstitutional have
! passed both Houses, and been ,cut to the Gov
crnor for his signature, he would no doubt have
given To such bill his veto. And IN lik, man
ncr when the Legislature fails to appoint an
officer IN opposition to the express injunction
OF statute law, the Governor surely ought to
veto such action So far as to appoint the officer
when such IS expressly asserted to be his duty
IN the constitution. Indeed it must be concc~
dcd that the Governor, in the case in hand, had
more "icgHimate authority" than he could have
for yetoing any bill conceivable. Bat the Free

The Rutland and Washington Railroad.
We have heretofore taken occasion 10 refer
TO this enterprise, which has been carried for
ward to completion 50 quietly but effectively.
Our townsman, Tnos. II. Garfield, Esq, has
kindly furnished LIS with the Second Annual
Report of the Directors" made on the 9th
ult at the Stockholders Meeting in Poultncy,
and which we shall give to our readers, entire.
We cannot refrain from saying that the
Report IS very beautifully Drin!ei, the credit
for which is due to Mr. TurrLr's Job and
BOOK Office, in Rutland.
The Directors congratulate the Stockholders,
as they may well 10, on the Iin1l completion OF
this Road. 1t opcus direct and continuous
communication, by railway, between New
York and Montreal, Uia the Hudson River,
Troy and Rutland aud Washington Railroads,
forming part Of the grcm trunk line as the
Directors assert, between Montreal land all
the Canadasl and New York, the Commercial
Metropolis of America
The route of the Rutland and Washington
Road is given as follows 80 Commencing at
" its connection with the Rutland and Rurling-
ton Road, in Rutland, it passes through
West Rutland (near Clarendon Springs Ira,
Castleton, Poultney, VT, Hampton Granville,
n. V, Pawet, Rupert VT, to Salem, n. Y.
thence connecting With the Troy and Rut-
:" land Road, which latter, at Eagle Bridge,
"connccts with the Troy ard Boston Road,
g. from Eagle Bridge to Troy" The Directors
also say:-"lt is an important link in the
"shortest chain Of roads from Lake Champan
b" to Boston. 1t is All important link, also, in tine
"chain Of roads from Boston and all New En-.
gland North and Fast of Boston, to Saratoga
"Springs and TO the Great West either by Or
"densburgh, or by the line of roads to Buffalo
With all these advantages, the Rutland and
Washington might be assumed to be on a
toerably firm footing for fair and reasonable
compittion with other roads. But there Is a
word more TO be said.
- As many Of our readers may not know
but as the tact is, this ro;-d passes through a
section Of country of large resources, which
only needed the facilities furnished by rail-
road to become more fully developed, anC
which will undoubtedly contribute largely tC
its business In Iron, lIarble, Slate, and other
mineral productions, and in Agriculture, the
line of this road is a5undlntly rich, as will
doubtless be seon III It's "wav receipts" for the
ensuing year, The road passes through pop
ulous region, also, and passenger receipts
will tell Il good story to the Stockholders

Power Of Attraction.

A jovial set Of fellows, fresh from four
years cruise, We're sitting together, one
winters night, spinning miraculous yanrs.
A number of very strange incidents had
been related, rs having actually occurred
within the experience Of the REALTORS; and
after each had told his tale, save one, who
sat with short pipe in his mouth, the
Others accosted him, come, Jim, you're
dry fellow-give us good yarn Jim,
car fully setting his pipe by his side, said
n ,thing, in my long life, has ever excited
any astonishmsnt or admiration, but once;
and that time Was' when on cruise north.
We had got SO far towardsathe North Pole,
that our vessel suddenly ceased to sail;
and by no means, within our power could
we get her off. After looking around some
time, it was ascetained that the attraction
of the North Pole, on the heads of the
Nails in our craft, had become too strong.
and we had to abandon the ship, take to
planks, and spars, and life preservers, and
make our escape, as best we could: and
some poor fellows who had metal buttons
on their trowsers, or nails in the heels of
their shoes, are there now, if they have
not been drawn through Jim replaced
his pipe stem between his lips, and groned
heavily, for the fate of his shipmates.-

A New County.

A very unworthy member ola church in

habit of committing such offences, aa to
make it necessary for the church to- have
him up often; and as often did they sturn
him OUT and tell him he must do his first
work over. After joining the church for
the seventh time, one day, coming home
to dinner, his wife was gone-just stepped
into a neighbors, for moment. On her
return, she was met at the door by her
good husband, and on leaning forward
to extend him that welcome, so common
with devoted wife, he Strengthened out
his arm of muscles, and thrust her from
him, and with an oath. wished her in Pnr.
gatory. The news was soon spread thro'
the Village, that Mir had beat, and
cursed his wife, and wished she was in Pur-
gatory. A meeting Of the church was
called the offender arrained-he pleaded
guilty to the charge of having treated his
wife brutually, but said he had never wish
ed she was in It'll that he thought
'Purgatory' was new county recently
made in some part of Eastern North

From the Farmer and Planter.
Turnip Culture.

MEssRs. EDrToRs.-As I have been
successful in getting very fine patch of
this valuable vegetable, have thought it
not amiss to give you their made Of cul-
ture.
The lot in which they are sown is one
in which have kept my cattle for some
time, for the purpose of making manure.
1t was originally very inferior sandy
soil, with a stiff, clayey sub-soii. Last
spring all the manure and the surface of
the earth was scraped up and hauled
out.
On the 10th August, there having been
a season, ploughed it three times, with
subsoil gopher-ploughing in different
directions each time-this tore to pieces
the turfs of grass; OF which there was
good deal. Two or three days after these
ploughings, 1 hitched two strong mules
to one of Prouty and Mear's large turn
ing ploughs, and broke it 10 inches deep,
this inverted all the grass and trash, and
left clear surface.
then put it into rows, ls inches apart,
with short small gopher, the seed were
then sown pretty thick, and carefully COW
cred with iron rakes, then run heavy
roller over them several times, they came
in few days, and looked strong and
healthy, three weeks after l thinned them
to 8 or 8 inches apart-never leaving but
one plant in place-the ground was
then gone over, and we'll stirred with the
hoes, rs it had become hard and baked
from the copious rains of August. then
scattered ashes over them, at the rate Of
10 bushels to the acre, the ashes were not
put all over the ground, but on and a
round the plants, the earth was then very
slightly drawn from the middle Of the
rows towards the plants, in order to cover
the ashes, and prevent them from being
carried away by the winds.
The result of all this labor, is the finest
patch of turnips ever looked at. In
few days after the application of the ash
es, they became highly verdant and have
grown with surprising rapidity ever since.
The object Of the ashes was not only to
stimulate and promote their growth; but
l thought they might also prove noxious
to the smell of the turnip fly. deem it
of great Importance to keep the earth
frequently stirred about them. G.
