GRAND JURIES.

1 The late Grand Jury OF Chltten.
den County omitted, in its numerous
presentments, to do one thing that
would have elected unanimous APP
plause-it omitted to indict the
Grand Juy system, as utterly mnec-
essary and eoorse than useless
Grand Juries are a secret, irrespon-
sible, and may become a vindictive,
body, whose special mission it is, on
parte testimony, to indict people
generally.
The State Agricultural Society is |
of more interest and value to the |
welfare and prosperity of Vermont
than forty thousand Grand Juries
and yet the Grand Jury of Chitten-
den County has INDICTED the State
Agricultural Society for offering
" premiums" not bets" nor purS-
es," nor stakes, nor anything else
forbidden by law, to horses that
should exhibit superior qualities OF
speed, muscle and endurance just as
they offered premiums" to our
; mothers and grandmothers for supe-
rior manufactures Of bed-quilts, or to
our farmers for superior samples of
sheep and hogs, and to our dairy
men for superior samples of butter
I and cheese. The Grand Jury,by their
2 presentment of the State Agricultur-
al Society, simply made their Office
= ridiculous, and thus confirmed the
e strongest argum ent against the
b Grand Jury system, and illustrated
J. the odiousness ola secret inquisition

II completed their labors of presenting
{ Grand Juries themselves as deserv-
ing to be abolished, they would have
earned some title to public graft

MANURNG GRASS LANDS IN AU-
TUMN.-Many of our readers do not
seem to be aware that moving lands,
in order to be kept in fertility and
productiveness for a series of years
require some sort of dressing every
year or two. They will work hard,
and be to great expense to put the
land in good order, and to Seed it
well. They then begin to NOW it,
and follow it up year after year, ia
king a heavy crop Of hay at first in
the summer, and feeding it late in
the fall by their cattle. In few
years they find the land "run ont"
as it is called, and they find it ne
Icessary to manure and plough, and
seed it as before.
Now it is abundantly evident, that
much Of this running out may be
prevented by little seasonable ap-
plication of fertilizers, without the
labor and cost Of plowing and re-
seeding so often. Your land is
workshop or laboratory, in which
certain kinds Of raw material, such
az manure from the barnyard-or
muck, or. ashes, is manufactured into
grass, but it must have the raw ma
terial to work up, or your mill will
stop.
We have found by our own expe-
rience, and by observing the exper-
iments Of others, that the best time
10 put many fertilizers, such as de-
composed barnyard manure, or com
posts Of different kinds, and even
bone dust and plaster Of Paris, is in
the fall, before the fall rains com
mence. BY applying them at this
season, the eoarser particles become
disintegrated and mingled with the
surface Of the soil, and the whole
become more intimately incorpora-
ted with the earth about the grass
roots, not only stimulating them by
their nutritiye elements, but also
aifording protection more or less
during the winter.

ARREST OF SUPPOSED STORE
BREAKERs.-Last evening,abou Z IL
o'clock, as officer Griggs was in
Faneuil Hall Square, two young men
passed him in seeming haste, evident
ly wishing to hide something in their
possession from view. He at once
gave chase, when they dropped five
boxes Of cigars, and fed. The officer
picked up the booty, and gave the
alarm. The fellows ran through
Merchants Row, and when near
State street, both Of them were cap
tured by officers who had heard
officer Griggs' alarm. They were
taken to the Station House, where
! they gave the names Of Geo. Brook

in front Of the meeting house, beckoned
to the people to stop. Men and women
paused to hear, curious 10 know what SO

of the cowardly murder at Lexington by
the Royal troops; the retreat of Percy; !;
the gathering of the children of the Pill

SCENE IN CoURr.-A handsome and
respectable dressed woman was brought
into Justice Cornwells court, Brooklyn,
in state of beastly intoxication. Her
shrieks were so terrible and agonizing that
even the officers of the court, used to such
Sc enes, were visibly moved. We learned
from one the court that this woman was
the wife of an eminent physician, and but
a short time since was highly respected
as an exemplary wife mother, and had
everything around her to make her life
happy, but in nm evil hour she yielded to
the vice of intemperance, and since has

A FAIR TRIAL.-The endeavor by the
black republican newspapers TO create the
public belief that Brown has not had a
fair trial in Virginia will not do. The
assertion is not only contrary TO the fact,
but contrary to the evidence of Brown
himself on that point. In his speech in
reply to the question what he had to say
why the sentence of the law should not
be passed upon him, he said: 81 feel
entirely satisfied wiM the treatment !
hare received on my trial" Perhaps,
however, the black republican papers will
still insist that Brown is crazy, and did
not know what he was talking about
But it is pretty well established, we sho'd
say, that if Brown was crazy at Harper's
Ferry, he has been crazy for some -four
years past. 1t will not do, therefore, &c
undertake to impeach his present testimo
ny, that he has had fair trial in Virginia

4 THANKSGIVING "REMINISCENCES.


Mr. Editor: In looking over the pa
pers | notice proclamation of the Gov
ernor of the goodly Peninsular State, en-
joining upon our citizens, one and all, a
proper observance of the day Gath day of
November next, as a day of Thanksgiving.
| never read a proclamation Of that pecu-
liar kind, without being transported in
mind al least, TO the home of my boyhood
"a quiet New England town-where
Thanksgiving means something, particu-
larly to juvenile minds. And as / un-
derstand you are native of the Green
Mountain State, your youthful experience
can not be unlike those of q similarity of
age and station.
You recollect that Thanksgiving was
a season We looked forward to with the
brightest antieipations Of hope and pleas
urej first, in anticipation of Its arrival,
counting the months, then the weeks,
then the days, and lastly the hours. And
when at length the auspicious, long wait
ed fer morn dawned upon us, how cheer
fully and nimbly We performed our chores,
dressed us in our very beatest holiday at
lire, and, as amusement as well as labor
unnecessary was forbidden by our good
and pious Governor, we took from the
shelf the we'll thumbed Testament, OF
that staid religious weekly that had paid
its regular visits TO our dwelling for near
ly quarter Of century, the Observer
and called 10 their pages now and ther
our wandering thoughts from the fat tur
key, half score of chickens, and fat, thick
meated spare rib, that lay on the table.be
fore us, all ready TO be introduced into thc
ample brick oven that stood adjoining tn,
broad fire place, undergoing the heating
process amid the cracking and snappin,
of the well seasoned oven wood prepared
under our own hand for the occasion
And now and then to our mind aros
bright, savory forms Of chicken pies
pumpkin pies, and all the other variet,
of pies for which New England is so ia
nous, and which our kind mothers ha
such nice faculty of introducing unde
dissolUing 0iew. And you recollec
particularly how very anxiously we watch
ed the movement of that old fashione
clock that had seen twice our number c
years, and fancied its long fingers move
extremely slow across its broad, ant
quated face, while we waited for the firs
chime Of the bell of the village churc
that should announce the arrival of min
o'clock, thesummons for us to "get read
for meetin'," as our good grandmothC
used to say, when the process of attacl
ing old Charley to vehicle suited to tf
season, wagon or cutter, was entered il
to with spirit; and with cap, mittens, an
muffler we took our position as mast'
of horse for the day, giving vent as "
passed along TO an. extra number of e
