THE TARIFF.

The House committee Of Ways and Means
through its chairman, l.. ID. Campbell Of
Ohio, has reported a substitute for the Ia
riff bin, making material alterations in points
interesting to Vermonters. We notice the
following:
Liquors reduced from 100 per cent. to so.
rThe argument probably is that a reduction
of the duty will lessen the temptation to adul-
terato pure liquors. 1t will lessen the tempt
alton surely, but so per cent. will be tempta-
ton enough still to secure full supply of
"rot gut.
Articles manufactured from osier or willow,
or straw. manufactures of fur. clothing, hats,
caps, hosiery carriages, cheese, clocks earth

Vanderbilt. No injury was offered to the
passengers in the captured boats, but they
were escorted to Greytown, where the steam

man-of-war, who ordered the baggage Of the
men to be put off instantly. Spencer kept
the American flag flying from his steamer,
although he made his capture in the name
of Costa Rca. President Mora of Costa
Rican government has issued a proclamation
granting pardon to Walkers mon. and

their suffering from hunger and sickness
Walker was still at Rivas. with GOO men, and
another account says 1900.
Spencer states that the Costa Ricans have
1900 troops posted along the route. They
are also in strong force at Scragui, and have
guns posted ON both shores. Tho report that
Gen. Hcnningscn had fought bis way out Of
Granada and joined Walker, is confirmed. as
is also the rumor that Gen. Chiffon with a
large body Of men, had pronounced for Wal
kcr at Leon Walker, it is said, retook Riyas
without losing a man. Capt Saunders with
his rifles had advanced TO Leon to occupy that
post The foregoing dispatch is made up
from the statements of several returned Mic
araguans who give very conflicting stories.

The Chronicle gives the following, which
furnishes an encouraging view of the spirit of
the now Secretary and the sentiments of the
Board.
Mr. Adams left here on short visit TO
Massachusetts, and Connecticut, whore he will
avail himself OF opportunities for obtaining
information after which the people Of Yer
mont may expect to hear from him ond TO see
him among thom. They will consider, how
over, that he cannot be everywhere at the out
set. The law allows him year TO 20 over
the state. and even then most of the towns
must be left unvsited.
The members of the Board, we believe re-
gard our present school system as decidedly
good one. They see no reason for making or
recommending at present, any change in the
form of it. With all the practical defccn-
cics and errors that arc found in every part OF
the state, the system has vet, rs a system.
worked well and its excellent results are
seen in the general intelligence the mental
activity and force, the practical talent, the en-
terpriso and thrift, that characterize our pop
ulation Even in our toughest places def
cient as they may be in the tasteful niceties
of accommodation, order, and arrangements
that are so pleasant and desirable in school
room, and perhaps also in the versatility and
extent of knowledge that we demand of the
teacher, there is yet often degree of intel
lectual activity and a spirit of improvement
which we may have been too slow to recog.
MIC and appreciate. The present law, too
contains provisions which only need to be
called into proper activity in order to remedy
some of the evils that are most generally felt
In word, what we need is, new life more
than new laws greater vigor and cificionc,
rather than change. The Board will be well
satisfied if the people and their children car
! be awakened TO greater iaithfulncss and dill.
/ gence in the ways and means of education af
forded by our present system. They rely foi
success on efforts in this direction, and not
on the importation Of any new system. Oh

We are indebted to Mr.. j. w. Hobart, a

From the details furnished we make two
interesting differences. The first is, that as
the property forwarded consists mainly of ag-
ricultural productions, the farmers are deriv-

the second is, that the business is essen

the wind did not support the attack with its

little rain. On the whole between snow and

FIRE IN EDEN.-The following account of
fire in Eden, by which the dwelling house
and out-buildings of Samuel Plumley, Esq,
were burned to the ground, we copy from the
Freeman.
EDEN, Jan. 20.-I seat myself to inform
you of the very sad event Of our having no
home, Yes we now realize tive have no
home and no clothing. Neutrality-suspicious.
you remember what dreadful day it was
about l o'clock, we smolt fire, and upon GO
ing into the attic, we found that the roof was
all ON fire. In one hour it was all on the
ground and not person but our own family
to see it go-no man but father, with his bro
ken leg-the boys being gone to school. The
snow was so deep and driited that, although
we threw some things out doors, we could
not move them far enough from the house to
keep them from being burned. Every thing
IN the shape of furniture, clothes and proyis-
lons-save little meat-was consumed. We
do not know where the fire took but suppose
1t to be from the pipes in the attic"
The loss is probably in the vicinity of 81

Perhaps Mr.. Buchanan owed the late Mr.
Brook a debt of gratitude for the support
which that deceased person gave TO one who
was neither his first nor his second choice
for the Presidency and We know that upon
certain occasion, the President elect apollo

speech he characterized as 'thc most vulgar
TRADE of abuse ever delivered in delibera-
tive body while the act of Mr. Brooks he
merely declared 10 be ''inconsiderato' We
are not surprised therefore. to learn that Mr..
buchanan ostentatously attended the funeral
of the departed member But when we arc
informed that "aitcr the funeral procession
had passed from the House, Mr. buchanan
was surrounded by friends of both sexes, who
seized The occasion to pay him their respects,
we think Mr.. Buchanan, as a man of sensibil-
ity' should have put ON his hat and walked
away as fast as possible Seized the occa-
sion IA cynic might indulge in a sardonic
grin at the expression While all that is loft
Of public man is carried slowly down the

The New York Evening Post says Hold
ers OF Spanish quarters need not submit to
the large discount of twenty per cont. created
by the new act of Congress, for the bullion
brokers will give from twonty-three to TWEEN
ty-hve cents for them, which they are worth
commercially, according to weight of silver.
Shopkeepers, therefore, need not sacrifice their
Spanish coin. The discount on such coin fix
cd by the act of Congress does not, Of course,
regulate their commercial value as silver, be-
ing intended merely to force them out Of cir
culation.
