Az rNFoRTCNArE DEMONSTRATORS. - The
story goes that the good people of Walden
were somewhat astonishcd to find X. y.
demonstration on March meeting day This
would never do for the stern opP2Haf9tti6sro in
GRti- masonic days SO they Just voted down
the X. Ms. and forthwith arrested their
leader, and had him bound over to the County
Court for violating section 10 Of chap. lUG Of
the Compiled Statutes.
X. y S oN JrRIEs AT late trial in Troy,
y. Y, the iurymcn were required to state
whether they were X \ IS, and every man
who gave an unsatisfactory answer was ex-
cludcd.
The PRornEsY that X. y. ism will - go up
like a rocket and come down like stick =
has be'n verified in sundry places. For in
stance
ST. JoHNsBuRY.- September last, X y.
was elected on the sacrifice of faithful rep
rescntatiyc and an excellent man. At the
March meeting on full vote the X. y. were
beaten out and out by from $50 to 200 ma
jority. We DO not know that DIR. Bancroft
will accept a seat in the next legislature, hut
if he will, it is pretty clear that the people
of st. Johnsbury will give him one.
NoRTHrIELD.-k. y. representative elected
in Sertnu,'e- -. TO ".ejer;ty, though not hv
X. y. 5 alone. Nearly the entire anti Nebraska
vote, we suppose. WAS gwen to Mr.. W OOd-
worth. At the March meeting, the fight was
maintained from first sclcctman to highway
surveyor, and the X. Ms were beaten al tho
way from thirty to one hundred ard more
majority.
RocKINGuAM.-At the March election the
X. Ms were beaten by from 50 to 1870 ma
jority. Total vote 3ii.
We have yet to hear from the first town in
Vermont where the X. n, have succeeded
II, a fair fghtat March meeting, and the first
also where the people have not beaten them
when they tried in earnest.

Wordsworth and iIuydon.

" W ordSworth himself, with his grave and
settled rhysiognomy, actually told another of
his and Hayden old friends in my presence.
the following story, which is 50 good that |
feel AN inclination to cmhalm it as nearly as
possible in his own words
We had been dining out he said, with
an old friend-a very dear Old iricnd-and it
being too late to find cab when we quilted
the house, we were compelled TO walk home
lie asked me to take bed but Hayden had
determined to walk home, and it was ncccs-
sary that should accompany him
"Why was it necessary - asked llaydon
"Why Do you ask why it was necessary .
inquired Wordsworth.
" Certainly do"
" Because replied Wordsworth, shaking
his head "you had taken little too much. ''
Well, 70 on said his friend Z" if our
sins are to be cast up into our teeth in our
old age, by an old friend, we can but grin and
bear it."
Il had very great difficulty in keeping him
straight. lie was determined it would seem.
on walking in an extremely divergent manner
and when We at length turned into the Edge
ward road II young gentleman who had been
observing him stepped up to us aud said ,

way. Might beg of you to take my arm. "
Although not needing his assistance, i accept
ed 1t, IN the hope OF inducing llaydon to do
the same. lie did so, and we began to proceed
along the payment in much more regular
manner. ! imagined that this young indiyii-
ual might be pleased at knowing whom he

state Reform school in Maine.
From tho frst annual report va eIenn Q low d

From tho first annual report We CLEAN few facts
that may interest the people in Vermont.
Reform School is not properly prison for pun
ishmem but an institution for reform Its design Is
to arrest the young criminal carly in his career; to
draw him aside from temptations which have led him
to crime, and to place him under such influences as
shall make him good man and a useful citizen
The youth Of the State who commence vicious life
grow up to be its adult criminals The number Is
comparatively small, but really large and potent for
harm. Shall not the State, then, do good and ro-
litc work when it thus places itself as a father and
guardian over its neglected and crring children
Out of the whole number H. admitted to this
school in Maine, II were foreigners. Their ages
were from to is years. From this table it is fear
ful to note the growing disposition to vice, Mt
years having been committed and twsnf V-'r at the
age of II; n,pty-ur idle or had had no st'ody
employment. These boys sentenced by the courts
for various offences, to punishments more or less
severe; in some cases. to imprisonment in the State
Prison from one to five years. Think Of tho blessed
altcrnativc-a Reform School
The Superintendent has cnicavorel to form habits
Of study, by making the school attractive and rem
dcrinr sclf-contro voluntary as far n. possible
]
to their habits Of trnancy. Labor divided into
thrcc departments, farming, mechanical and do
mcstic.
To enforce discipline. the grade system was
adopted. There four grades, tho first being
the highest On entering the school, every
hoy is placed in the third grade If his con-
duct is bad, he Is degraded to tho fourth A mani
fest desire for improvement will promote him to the
second and then to the first. There is also subdi-
vision Of the first grade called the Ci1s. Of Truth
and Honor-a degree denoting the highest rank in
school It has been found that the most successful
means Of reforming this class Of boys. is kind
rather than revere trentment-a system Of rewards
rather than Of punishmcnts.
It would seem to he tho first care Of Government
to stay and 9re- the young that arc leading Va grant
and criminal lives. To this ond tho State of New
York has institutions similar to tho one in Maine
Pennsylvania ,tro, Massachusetts, tlrec. and one in
| contemplation designed exclusively for girls; Con-
necticut has one, Rhode Island onc Ohio one, Mary
land One has been in operation some time in
New Orleans. The States of Missouri and Virginia,
also the District of Columbia have in contemplation
schools of this character.
Are there no idle boys in Vermont, who ire liable
| to be tempted to sin Boys who are without care
or guardianship : Or may it not rather be, that
ground for its children If the glender in mischief
selected and placed under the healthful inhuen
ccs of n State Reform School. -

How to Raise Calves,

MEssRs. EDIToRs.-March is a month in
which many cows drop their calves, and
March calves are the very ones to raise, pro-
yided they arc good ones, - for good cow
may have a bad calf, but a good COW will be
more likely to have good calf, than an or
binary cow My practice is, to let the calf
have what milk it will take lor the three first
days of its existence. then allow il to suck one
half of the milk until it is three weeks old
by this time you can decide upon appearances
whether it has such points as you desire in
an animal of that age, but if the calf is
doomed for the shambles, give it all the milk
for two or three weeks more, and it will find
a ready market but if to be raised, continue
to allow it one-half Of the milk until it is
eight weeks old, during which time il can be
learnt to eat a half pint Of meal a day, with
little fine hay then it will do to confne
the cali to one teat, with an increase of
meal; and at the expiration of three months,
it will do to deny it milk provided you sup
ply it with suitable quantity of meal and
good hay, or grass, three times day, and
what water it desires. Do not turn the poor
calf out tn shirk for itself in a poor pasture,
but give it good stable, that can be made
dark during hot days, to prevent the flies
from tormcnting the creature, and save it
from the rays Of II vertical sun. which it will
avoid if possible. The last of September, if
you have good aftermath, turn your calves
on to it, and with plenty Of pumpkins
through October and November, with a re-
gulr supply of hay and roots the following
winter, you may nationally expect to show as
good yearling, when March comes round
again, as your neighbors.

Horned Cattle.
ID. WALBRIDGE.

The following statement from Lewis G.
Morris Esq. of Mount Fordham, westches-
ter Co, n. Y, is from the Report of the
Commissioner of Patents.
" The kinds of cattle | am propagating are
the Herd Book short-horns and Devons
care. If this is complied with, they are
more profitable than any other breed, as
they unite milking and beef qualities to a
greater extent than any other, and will
mature in three years, while another breed
would take five years to attain maturity
They are Herd-Book animal, having been
recorded in Coates Herd Book since the
year 1922.
The Devons in color are Invariably red
with the tip of the tail white, and have
long horns. They are peculiarly adapted
for working oxen, as their temper, spirit,
and sprightiness of action, if properly
broken. will perform any farm work as
quick as horses. As a dairy stock, do not
think they rank very high ; but there are
! always exceptions to a general rule, and |
! have seen very good dairy stock among them.
For beefng qualities, they lack early matu-
rity but the quality of the beef is far supe-
rior to the short-horn, and they may be kept
in almost any climate, and will stand poor
farm and carelessness Of treatment as well
as any breed | know. If obliged to roam
over a large tract of land to collect their
pasture, their agility enables them to do so
without worrying off their flesh. They are
a pure and distinct breed, but were not a
llerd-BoOk animal before lS5l."

Tie BRirlsm ARMY.-Column after column
Of the London Times is filled with the dnmning
evidence of the utter neficicncy and imprac-
ticability Of the present organization of the
British Army in all its departments some
of which, relating chiefly to the Commssa-
riat and Medical departments, and to the su-
pine Indifference of the Commander in Chief
and other officers of high rank, is condensed
in the following crushing paragraph:

obStinacy Of the man who. notwithstanding

containing these stores to keep outside the

that hence the horses had pcrishcd, the land
transport bad failed, the supplies of the camp
