John q. Sake delivered his new poem OF
Love in the Town Hall in IIydepark last Wed

OF our own. That SAKE did it is enough for u,
to say. G.m.
We would call the attention of our reader,
to the card of Drs. Brockway & Newton. VIZ
are happy to know that their united skill is
appreciated by IA demand that calls into action
all their efforts, and employs other assistance III
the labratory, which is rendered perfect and
complete by the union of the two.

The SuFF)LK BANK AND VERMONT BANKS BY
the law Of Vermont the Banks are bound to pay
into the Treasury - tax Of two per cent on their
capital stock, per annum, under this provision
and condition, to wit, if they keep deposit of
funds in Boston and there " uniformly cause
their bills to be redeemed at par " then they are
exempt from the payment of said tax; :" but if
they shall fail 50 to redeem their bills for the
period Of ten days in the whole, in any one
year, then the slid tax shall be paid for that
year"
1t is perfectly obvious that the redemption 50
to be made in Boston must be al par and uu-
conditional and from any person and cctry per-
SON who shall present the bills
Most Of the Banks in Vermont have employed
and paid the Suffolk Bank for 50 redeeming their
bills in Boston, and they provide that Bank
funds for that purpose. 1t now appears that
the Suff)lk Bank, even when 81 holding funds,
refuses to redeem the bills of our Banks, when
presented by the Bans Of Mufuui Redemption.
1t is said they refuse to redeem them when pre-
scented BY any one, unless it is by Il Bank who
employs and pays them
1t is perfectly clear, if this be 50, if the Suf-
folk Bank declines to redeem the bills of our
Banks when presented by arg one for time cx-
ceading ten pays if subjects our Banks to the
payment OF the two per cent tax into the
treasury for that year This must be and
will be cxacted unless the Blnks immedI-
atoly employ new depository in Boston, who
will make such redemption at par, promptly
and Internationally, ofoyory ono. Tho Banks
rcdeoming at home, or in Boston with other
funds after notice, will not save them from the
tax
The SCHOOL LAw.-Lnst year some amend
ments OF our School law We're brought before
the Legislature, They were suggested by what
the State Board of Education had witnessed in
the discharge of their duties; and. 50 far as we
know, were regarded as .iudicious and mpor-
tant by such friends Of improvement as had OPP.
portunity to examine them.
These proposed amendments have since been
extensively to gentlemen of intelli~
gencc and experience, and have been carefully
revised with the advantage of lhtir sugg 'stions
In this form we suppose they will again b. laid
befor} the Legislature All objections that
have )een made, or could be thought Of, have
been considered, and improvements made accor-
dinghy,
We have not time to speak of the d3ttils at
present and mention the subject chiefly to ex-
press our earnest wish and hope that the views
of the Board in regard to this matter may pre-
vail with our legislators. The proposed changes
in the law appear to us to be judlciouss and i'm
portant, and the argument in favor Of adopting
them Immediately uuanswerablo.-W Chro"-
