Vermont Railroads.

A Letter in the New York Tr;brr.
from Burlington, VT, gives some fao,.
relative to the management of the Rail
roads in the Western part of the Sta,o
which, as he remarks indicates &" a scro,u
loose" somewhere. The Mail from N0.
York does not arrive from Burlinptor
until the evening of the second dsv
With regard to the Rutland and BIN,
Hngton, as compared with the Centralb h.
says: -
Time has been when the Rutlsra
and Burlington train was very prompt
more so than the Vermont Central hr,
that time seems to have gone by. Tho
Vermont Central is now the prompttrain
and has been for some time past. Til.
may be owing 70 the fact that portion
of the way was laid with new rails las,
season, and the uneven places mads
smooth. 1t was remarked by traveler
last Fall that the Vermont Central track
in the best condition of any railroad
they passed over. Being so in the Fall
it does not require much wisdom to know
that it would be a good winter road, a,
it has proved to be thus far. If a rail
track is rough when the ground freezes
it must remain so for some months.
Our Legislature at its last session,
passed an Act giving the Judges Of our
Supreme Court power to appoint Gen
eral Superintendent, or Commissioner,
who has supervision over all the rail.
roads in the State, with as much power.
perhaps, as is safe to trust one man with.
How this will work remains to be seen.
It is kind of Legislative policy which
needs testing before a proper Judgment
of it can be formed One thing is very
certain: the people of Vermont, and es-
pecially the farmers, have deep interest
in our railroads. To go back again to
the "slow coach" would reduce the value
of farming lands 33 per cent-a reduc,
ton which would not be very palatable tc
owners of farms. Our railroad corpora
tions have hard time of it, and are more
entitled to the friendship than the enmity
of the public; and yet nothing is more
common than to hear railroads saddled
with curses, and from those too, who hay'
never paid the first cent for their con
struction, and whose farms have bee
doubled in value by them. Such DE-
monstrations are mean, and yet of sue
is human nature made"

Interesting Discovery in Egypt.

An English clergyman, Rev. Mr.. Sto.
bart, when recently travelling in Egypt
obtained from an Arab of the Desert,
four small tablets with hieroglyphic in
scriptions, upon which the Arab did not
set any value, but which Mr.. Stobert
knew to be of considerable worth. o.
his return to Europe, Mr.. S. took an ear.
ly opportunity to submit the treasure TO
the renowned traveller, DR.. Brugsch Of
Berlin, who has made very extensive re-
searches in Egypt and the neighboring
countries, and has published some re.
markable works upon the old Egyptian
language, whose difficulties he has COM
pletely surmounted. DR.. Brugsch i'm
mediately found that the inscriptions on
tablets were in the Eemotic character,
and that they contained astronomical in
| formation. On closer examination he
found no less than a thousand different
data relating TO astronomy, and particu-
larly to the entrance of the FIVE planets,
Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, (called
the God of the morning" in old Egyp-
tian,) and Mercury, into the twelve signs
of the Zodiac. These latter were known
to the old Egyptians under the name Of
the Beetle, the Knife, the Virgin, the
Mountain of the Sun, the Serpent, the
Arrow, Life, water, the Fish, the Skim
the Ok, the two Snakes.
DR.. Brugsch attributes these obserVa-
vations to the reign of Trajan and Adrian
from the 9th to the 10th year Of the
reign of the former, and the first seven.
teen years of the reign of the latter. In
order still further to test the accuracy OF
his judgment, he submitted his decipher'
ing of the tablets to the Egyptian scholar
Riot, of Paris, who again laid them be-
fore Mr.. Ellis, the assistant of the great
astronomer Airy-who both fully coin
oidod in DIR. Brugooh's opinion Dr. b.
is preparing great work, giving the re-
suit Of his experience and researches,
which cannot fail to be very valuable
addition to antiquarian literature.

GREAT Snow SLIDE.-On Tuesday
last, while A. H. Howe and Alfred E.
Tyler, of Vernon, were hunting foxes on
Gould's Mountain, in West Brattleboro,
the snow for space of about ten rods in
width, started and slid down the noun
tain, carrying Mr.. Tyler and the dog
which was with the party, over preci-
pice thirty feet high. Mr. Tylerescaped,
almost miraculously, after being hurled
along thirty or forty rods, without any
injury, but the dog has not since been
heard from. 1t is supposed he was
smothered in the snow.-Phenir.

A SoN ATTEMPTING TO MURDER HIS
FATuER.-The Winsted (Ct.) Herald
learns from a reliable correspondent, that
a son of Mr.. Horatio Ames, manufacture

tempted to take the life of his father
He fired one barrel of his revolver, but
missed his aim, and snapped a second
which failed to 60 off. Ere he could fire
another, his father wrested the pistol
from him. He pointed to the place where
the ball had struck, and expressed wish
that it had gone through his fathers black
heart After the occurrence, the father
gave the son 500 to clear out, and $50
for his revolver. A most indulgent pa
rent, certainly.

The Climate of Oregon.

We publish the following extract from
a private letter, written by resident of
Oregon to friend in this State, because
it is a very good description of the eli
mate of that Territory. We were res
ident of Oregon from the tenth of Au-
gust, 1852, to the twenty-ffth of Sept,
1854. embracing a period of over two
years, and therefore claim to be COM
petent Judge. 1t is, as the writer says,
the easiest country to live IN between
the Atlantic and Pacific" We hope to
be able, at some future day, to give the
readers of the Standard more extended
description of the country between the
two oceans, as we " have lived all the
way" between them. The writersays:
'In the main, this climate is as fine as
any climate could be. From the middle
of February until now, we have had no
thing that would pass for winter any
where, excepting furry of snow, that
went as it came, frost or two, that would
thaw out in the day. Heavy rains have
fallen, but no colder than you have in
Vermont at any time of the year. The
Fall is different from Summer in the
shortness of the days, gradual increase
of rain, which, with the diminished evap-
Grafton, causes the ground to become wet,
and finally, in the level prairie sections,
almost inundated, and in a lowering of
the average temperature of the days and
nights to 30 and 40 deg. respectively, or
Whereabouts. The rain falls peculiarly
heavey. The clouds settle very low before
condensation, so that much of our rainy
weather is "Oregon mist" We have

Mrs. HALE's HOUSEHOLD Books
In these two volumes, neatly published
by Messrs. Long & Brothers, of New
York, we have a choice collection of re-
ceipts and instructions in all departments
of household economy. The accom-
plished compiler, Mrs. Sarah j. Hale,
shows herself as familiar with the sober
duties of domestic life, as with the lighter
and more graceful avocations of the nov
elist and poet. We commend the vol
umes to all good housewives, as well cal
culated to render them still more skillful
in their important sphere of operations.
