Sons of Temperance,

We are happy to announce that the Division
Of the Sons of Temperance, which was organ
lied in this place a few weeks since, is prosper
ing even better than its most ardent friends an
ticipated. They number now some forty or
fifty members, and the number is steadily in
creasiEg. One Of the most pleasing incidents
connected with their progress thus far occurred
at their meeting on Friday evening last, when
Mr.. A. G. Brown, in behalf of the ladies of
Montpelier, presented the Division with beau
tifully bound copy of the Holy Bible, costing
about six dollars Accompanying the Bible was
the following note from The donors -
To the members and officers of Capitol Dirision
No. 81 Of The Sons Of Temperance.
SIRs-The ladies of Montpelier, desiring to
express to you their best wishes for the success
of the cause in which you are engaged, here
with present you copy of the Holy Bible,
hoping that its precepts will ever be your guild
ing chart ; and that while you are laboring for
the good of your felow-men, and endeavorng
b reclaim them from bondage which degrades
their mental, moral and physical natures, you
will yourselves receive its teachings, as the only
permanent foundation upon which to base your
Efforts for moral reform.

lions in the way of Improvements in Montpe-
her The work upon the State House is going
rapidly forward, and will present u busy and
lively scene for the next few months. The
School House will be ready for use sometime in
April or the first of May while the new Free
man Building, 1--WE shall be excused for any
egotism or pride,) which we are pleased to
know has been the object of admiration from
its size and beautiful proportions, and which
has given employment to about dozen hands
during the Winter, is only awaiting the plas-
tering to be ready for its several tenants
While referring to this, we give Thomas w.
Silloway, its architect, praise of executing most
admirable plans for it, and Mr.. Snow Town, it's
master-carpenter, the credit of carrying out
those plans in perfect manner, and with a
dispatch every way pleasing to ourselves.
The Congregational Society, nothing daunted
by the drain of ready funds for the completion
of the State House, are making all preparations
for the erection of beautiful Church edifce
Tor the accommodation of their rapidly increas.
ing Society early in the season. And from the
plans for Its erection, we judge that it will be
the finest church building in the State.
The new Catholic Church, in prospect o.
erection, upon the rising grounds in the rear o.
the Pavilion, and near the site of the present
one, we believe, also promises to be an orna
ment to our village, and in proportions and fin
ish worthy OF sho$ having it in charge.
We also learn that there is the erection of 9

SWAMP LAND--A GooD INvEsrMENT.-"A
thing OF beauty is a joy forever" This is
true, we suppose, of everything, without ref
erence to its past history. But there is u
special beauty about an object, redeemed from
positive waste and ugliness, and made to min.
lister to human wants. There is a bit Of
swamp land in view from my window, where
three years ago we could not walk without
wet feet, and which, from the creation down,
had only borne brush and sour grasses. IT
is now thickly covered with beautiful sod
of herds-grass and white clover. 1t has been
drained, and the surface is now as dry as up.
land. Last year one acre and half cut
three tons of good hay, and this season it has
pastured two COWS from June to September
giving them full flow of milk, and the feed
is still good. The pasturage is worth at least
twenty dollars. Muck enough has been ia,

three hundred, and will pay the interest Oh
the sum while grass graows and water runs

STARTING SEEDS EARLY-Rev. Daniel EN-.
erson, Summit Co., O., writes that he has been
successful in giving garden seeds an early
start, in the following manner: Having Sc.
lected the quantity needed, each sort is tied
by itself in a cloth, the name being plainly
written on slip Of paper, and inelosod with
the seed. The packages are then buried
about two inches deep in the ground, for a
week or two. When ready to plant, the kinds
needed for planting are taken from the bags
and used. They will be found to have swell.
ed, perhaps sprouted, and ready to grow.
If the ground should be quite dry, It is best
to water tho drills after dropping the seed,
and then cover with dry earth. Mr.. e. SAYS
that by this plan he has never failed to raise
plants from every seed planted, though when
put out they we're often sprouted. If each
seed is placed where it is wanted to grow, it
will save the labor of thinning, though many
prefer to thin their rows, leaving the most
prominent plants TO grow.

Orleans County.

Mr.. EDITOR :--Inasmuch as the Freeman has
a large circulation in Orleans County, Ipropose
that you recommend to the friends of temper
ance here, some activity in favor of their nomi-
nation for County Commissioner. The practice
of those in Orleans County who are in favor of
-" the largest liberty" with rum il, to get up
secretly a nomination on the eve of election day,
and endeayor to carry the election by stealth,
and the nertness of temperance men, And the
practice of many temperance men is to stay at
home on March Meeting day, or, if they attend
the meeting, to neglect or forget to vote for COM
missioner. The cause in Orleans County has
enough Of professed supporters to be able al
ways to elect Its Commissioner, but the princi-
pie will not sustain itself without the aid of
hands, and tongues, and uotes, The success of
the temperance principle depends mainly now
on the action of the electors on the first Tuesday
of March. If the friends of temperance stand
only " in the synagogues and on the corners of
the streets, and fail to stand and act in March
meetings, what faith shall be given to their pro-
fessed zeal? If they higgle, and bicker, and
quarrel themselves into minority, by conten-
tions on minor points, whose will be the fault,
and the responsibility, but their own? Let
them turn out, and get their neighbors out, and
vote, and see that their neighbours vote, with
one mind and one heart, for one man, and soon
they will have the entire field to themselves,
when they can discuss, and divide, on side ls-
sues and men, without endangering tho cause.
Let them not lay idle till they see lion in the
jungle, but rally and 90 forth in pursuit of him
with view to meet and conquer him.

The last Legislatures one which will be hon

our children while giving them political in

corded in the prosperity Of q free people. The
School Law, although it may be revised, still

Aboltionists in every State in the Union point

The baro-aced hypocrisy of some men isper-

and honeyed words dropping from their lips
Brutus like, they thrust q dagger to the heart
under the pretence of the warmost friendship.
We were led to this reflection by a communica-
tion in the lsat Spirit Of The Age, upon the New

hearty concurreneesof the editor of that paper.

the writer a friend to the Free School? Why

system was perfect and susceptible Of no i'm

School, unlike every other public measure il
which soci ETY. takes deep interest, will taxi

The ECLIPSE OF THE MooN.-One of our local
reporters who sat up all night in company with
an equally vigilant reporter of another paper to
ascertain whether the eclipse of the moon came
off according to the predictions of the astrono-
mers, assures us that the programme of the
American Almanac was fully carried ont. The
eclipse commenced at 4, Is A. NJ, the moon
then shining with the utmost brightness. In
one hour after it was necessary to light taper
to ascertain the time, the eclipse being total.
These are all the particulars which our reporter
could give us, and he excuses himself from wri-
ting out his observations on the ground that it
was not local matter. He was probably dis
appointed in not having obtained sensation
paragraph at the expense of the astronomers,
whose prediction he distrusted.-Bostoa Jour
nal.
Our reporter, who sat up in company with q
different companion from the above, does not
agree in time exactly, perhaps he didn't /" look
at the moon just them" but the first he sd,c of
the eclipse was nearly half past four and then
it came on instead Of g coming off," as above.

asked Of any knowing the necessity of our hay
ing all due us in order to provide better accom-

those with leisure moment to spare, or who
occasionally meet their ncighbors, to aid us to
a few more good subscribers Our list has
steadily increased during the Winter, and the
most of those owing for the past year have
kindly responded; still we lack about $1,000
which is due us in small sums, to complete such
quarters for the freeman as we shall not be
ashamed to invite our lady and gentlemen read
ers to visit, and which will be better suited to
our business. Shall we have that?
