EXTRAORDINARY GROWTH or GRAPES. We
saw yesterday an extraordinary production
OF grapes consisting Of Il single bunch, or
rather a series of lunches, Or sub divisions on
the same stem, weighing "A pounds, and
measuring two feet across in each diameter,
and two feet deep, and occupying a box of
eight cubic feet. 1t was raised near Borden
town, New Jersey, at the country residence
of George W. Chlds, Esq. The growth
was OF 9, variety known as the Palestine
grape. and this, we understand, was the first
bearing of the vine II this is II specimen
Of the production in the land u which it is
indg nous it fully accounts for the repre-
SontitipnS which we sometimes see in scrip
tural illustrations, of men with poles upon
their shoulders, hearing enormous lunches of
grapes between them. \ variety like this

The RUTLAND RAILROAD. At the last year :
session of the Legislature an act was pass
ed, ordering the Trustees in possession of any
Railroad under II Mortgage, to call la meeting
OF the bondholdcrs in December of each year,
and if they falcd to do SO, Il meeting
might b, called by five or more bondholdcrs,
or creditors to IL certain amount. under the
mortgage, in January or February following
and at such meeting the hondholders or
creditors under the Mortgage, present, might
nominate Trustees for the year ensuing, such
nomination to be confirmed By Chancellor
after IL hearing. if he should think it proper
and just to do SO.
Under this act a meeting Of BJndholder,
under the Second Mortgage of the Rutland
Railroad was called by the requisite number
| of bondholdcrs, at Bellows Falls last winter,
and five Trustees were appointed. \ hearing
was had in July last. before Chancellor Ben
nett. the other members Of the Supreme
Court. or most Of them, beng present. \
decision has beer. given by Chancellor Bennett
within Il few days-the other judges approx
ing also-to the effect that the act under
which the said Trustees were appointed, SC
far as it went to displacc the old Trustee
without their consent, was unconstitutional
of course the newly chosen Trustees wcr,
not confirmed as such, and the Road remains
as it was before.

association \ word of information will not

Chittenden County Teachers Association

frequent holding Of teachers meetings in the
several towns, as calculated to promote the
interest, Of education and friendly inter
course among tcachcrs-and in vlcw Of that
adopted the following resolution
Rfsoirc2, That with view to carry out the

From the Mortified Herald

PRosrEcTs or THE Democracy The re-
suit Of the elections for Members Of Con-
grcss in Kentucky and Missouri. aud the
prospects in Indiana and Illinois, are indica
tive of strong. unwavcring and undiminishcd
confidence. on the part of the people, in tho
administration of Mr.. BUCmANAN. and cannot
but have tho effect to inspire the hopes Of the
Democracy throughout the country, and cs-
peciallv in our own State. There is, at the
present time, a greater degree Of unity among
the Democrats than has existed for wears
This is the natural result Of the success of the
National Administration in putting at rest
the Kansas agitation. The only practical
question which can now be raised. is. wheth
er or not. Kansas shall wait for admission
until her population shall reach tho number
required in the English bill viz o3,3i0. q
matter which would require louder scrccchine
than any that has vet been heard. to cause
an excitement upon the subject. We are do
cidedlv of opinion that no applicant should
he admitted into the family of States, unac-
companed bv a certificate of good character,
and OF suitable ripeness for membership II
will be quite early enough to invite or admit
Kansas into tho Union as n State. when she
gives evidence Of a national feeling and that
will be when she has had time tn recover
| from the effects of her sectional training, and
| the Z" disunion - doctrines incucated by her
fanatical and reasonable abolition doctors.
We accept the above as fair index Of the
future character Of the new democratic paper
Just started at Mortified. It is worth while
to sec what doctrine it stands upon.
It's laudation of Mr.. Buchanan and talk
Of the remarkable unity among the demo.
Gratis will 20 for so much bosh, which n demo
cratic paper would naturally uttor. We SCI
that the HeraH goes against the admission
Of Kansas as State till her population
shall be % $40. although the English bill
admitted her with about 50 900 if she woul,
only take pro slavery Lccompton constitution
and till she can bring certificate Of gooc
character which certificate the Herald intend
she shall not have till her people get rid o
their love FOR free institutions and their hat
red of oppression: No other intelligibl
meaning can be got out Of the slang Of tn
Herald's last sentence.

The POTATO CRoP.-The Providence Jour

among the potato fields in Bristol county,

From other parts of Massachusetts, we hear
the same complaint. The complaint of the

the region about Boston, as in former years.
We do not yet hear much complaint about
the rot in this vicinity. The general expect

usual, The corn crop bids iair to be gene

success Of these medicines has been as.

eztinguish a disorder. The agony
the fever. the debility, the desponden.
