Vermont Against the World.

No State i'll the Union can compare with
our own either in the products of her soil, or
the excellence of her farming stock. From
the census table of 1850, it appears we pro-
ducc more horses, cattle, sheep, milch cows
and swine more wheat. oats, buck wheat
potatoes. wool. butter and cheese moro hay.
flax. bccswaX, honey and maple sugar, and
Il far greater aggregate value of live stock,
than any other of the New England States
These are not articles of luxury or fancy
They are not gewgaws to adorn our persons,
nor gildcd baubcs to decorate the saloons of
wealth and pride. They are the growth of
the soil of mother Eartli-thc genuine pro-
duction of combined industry and science
In substantial value they constitute the chief
productions of the agriculture of New Eng
land. And yet we not only beat every other
New England State in the aggregate of our
products, but in each one of the articles spec
flied tbovc, and in some Of them we actually
distance our foremost competitor For in
stance, in the article of wool. according to
the census of 1850, Vermont produces HOO
III pounds. Maine produces 1864 ,034 pounds.
New Hampshire los ,416 pounds. Massachu-
sets SO. 1876 pounds, Connecticut 4o1 ,4j4
pounds, Rhode Island l29 ,623 pounds The
aggregate amount produced by all New Eng
land, except Vermont, being ,954 ,129 pounds
mont alone. In the article Of sheep, also, the
relative proportion produced by Vermont
and the other New England states, is about
the same Us in that Of wool. We alsopro-
ducc nearly as much wheat as all the rest OF
New England combined. Nor is this ALL
We surpass the other states as much in the
quality as we do in the quantity of our agri-
cultural products. The wool of our state is
famed the world over, for the fncncss Of it,

and 1t Is to be regarded as favorable clrcum-
stance IN the present unsettled condition of the
world, that the administration truly reflects the
sentiments and opinions of the people. In the
question which formerly threatened to involve
us IN hos,li;ies with other nations, the patriot
ism of the people was in advance of that of
the public authorities. b ing the only repub-
lie where almost unlimited freedom of speech
and action has not proved to be subverslve Of

interest than duty to afford ample protection to
our citizens whether native or naturalized. In

(,ERTIFICATE Of cure from Captain
SNat. Ostrander
DR.. j. Reynolds: SIR--Having for many
years been afflicted with two large and invet-
crate Cancers, lone upon my right hand. the
other upon my left arm,l sought in vain for
cure at the hands of our most experienced sur
geons.
Hearing of your successful treatment of
Cancers | determined to have the benefit of
your experience, and for this purpose came to
New Orleans, eight months ago, when Spec
diiy received relief, by yoar mild and effec-
tual mode Of taking both Cancers out, without
the aid Of che knife. The Cancer upaa nv
hand weighed over quarter Of pound, that
on my arm, more than three quarters Of a
pound, yet the new and healthy flesh took
the:I place so rapidly that was entirely res
tored to health in few weeks. ~
As a token Of gratitude for your able and
successful treatment Of my Cancers, voIun-
tarily add this my testimony to your numer-
Gus credentials, and trust that those effected
with Cancers may be directed to YOU, for a
speedy and etfectual cure Respectfully.
yours, NATHANIEL OSTANDER. .
