PROSPECTUS.
Vermont stock Journal.

UNDER the above title 1 propose to pub
lish monthly paper.
The numerous letters am daily receiv-
ing asking for information in relation to
Vermont stock. lead me to think such
paper will be found useful to gentlemen
abroad who take an interest in the sub
icct and seek for correct information, and
it cannot be doubted that it will prove USE
full to all breeders of superior animals.
The proitablcncss of rearing domestic
animals depends mainly on the excellence
to which We can attain. To realize the
largest profit, we must unite forms Of the
greatest beauty with qualities of the great
est usefulness. To do this requires capt.
tai, talent, cultivated intellect, practiccd
eye, and the healthy stimuant Of gencr-
Gus competition. 1t is not enough that
the air of our hills is fresh and healthful,
that the water in our streams is clear and
pure; it is not enough that our noun
tain slopes and valley pastures are Of sur
passing excellence we must use to the
best advantage these gifts of nature if We
would lead the way in the great path Of
improvement We must know not only
what is doing here, but what improve
mcnts are making elsewhere. Whatever
success we attain we should make known
to others, and invite them to share in its
benefits. Hence | think paper well con-
Quoted may be highly useful to the Yer
mont breeders, and interesting to those
abroad who take a deep interest in our
progress.
In collecting materials for my work on
Morgan Horses, just published, L have be-
come acquainted with the most prominent
! breeders of fine animals in the State, and
have become impressed with the impor-
lance of medium of communication
among themselves and with breeders
abroad that can be rcsorted to for reliable
information.
have therefore determined to pub
lish a paper monthly, devoted TO the in
tercsts Of stock growers and purchasers,
which will contain reliable information in
relation TO the most desirable domestic an.
finals raised in the State, with accounts of
sales and prices, with hints to breeders
buyers and sellers, notes Of the progress Of
other States and countries, and all mat
ters most interesting to those engaged il

4 FIFru AVENUE RoMANcE,-Last
Monday we observed a funeral train, of
the most imposing character, standing
rcpdy for start, on the Fifth avenue,
near Que Of the widest intorsecting
streets Upon making inquiries concern
lug it, we learned that the deceased had
been a man Of great wealth, that he was
exceedingly prudent in all his monetary
transactions, and he had no relatives of
any account either by blood or marriage
to inherit his vast possessions " He
owned that splendid house from which
they are about to bury him, said our
informant, Wonder who will own it
hereafter ?" we exclaimed. Our infor.
mAnt proceeded to say that about two
weeks previously the deceased had met
aud ia len in love with very hand some
sewing girl, aud that he had succeeded
in gaming, upon he impulse Of the mo-
mont, strong proof that she returned
his passion. When taken i'll, and con-
WINGED that he would die, lie made will,
in which be gave to this gin the house al
ready SPOKEN Of, with all its furniture
and appliances. and $4,000 in money.
