Death of Prof. Thompson.

Prof Zadock Thompson died at Bur-
Iington, on the 18th ult., aged sixty years.
In his death, Vermont has lost one of her
best men, one whose interest was to en-
rich the State as far as possible in history
and science.
Prof Thompson was born at Bridge
water, VI, in 1776. At the age of p
he graduated at the University of Yer
mont, in Burlington. Although he fitted
himself for the ministry, yet on account
of poor health he was obliged to relin-
quish lis designs. AT times he was en-
gagged in teaching, but the greater part Of
his time was spent in scientific researches,
and in preparing the same for pubica-
ton.
The year succeeding his graduation.
appeared his first Gazetteer, a valuable
and interesting work. For twenty years
his time was mostly devoted to investi.
cations in the Physical Geography, Ge
ology, Mincralogy and general Zoology
Of this State.
in the year 1912, appeared his 1argr
work on the Natural History of the
State, lis Civil and Political History
&c, in which capacity he was serving
under direction of the State, ard to whom
he would have presented an invaluable
report, had not death cut short his labors
/ His disease was an organic affection O
the heart. He was devoted student,
true Christian, man in whose death tn,
State feels a sensible loss.

Bad as this species of putting IS, 1t has
not such a baneful influence upon society
as one which we viii mentiOn-that Of
praising the descendants of great dignl-
taries and moneyed men. This is worse
than the one we have spoken Of above,
for it is honoring the lazy son for what
the diligence of the father has accom-
plished, when the former does not, per-
haps, possess one of the good qualities OF
the latter. This being the case, trae
merit. when originating in obscure indi-
viduals, must suffer In consequence. II
any person of this stripe calls upon the
editor and chores" him for q hah day
with accounts of himself and his adven-
tures-maryellously magnifed-the ed
itor must, for such an act of condescen-
sion, repay him in that coin which al
editors possess the most of-GAs. Has
lie ever disgraced the soldier by wearing
his uniform as high private? Then he
is represented as a pure patriot, and de-
serving the generals epaulette for his
unparalleled bravery, when it is most
probable that be conducted flying re-
treat from the presence Of some faneied
enemy.
We conclude by saving, when you see
a puff in the columns of the Standard
just calculate, if you please, that it was
inserted by mistake, or for good cause.
