I hear men say: The way to love God, is to
love and do good to our f~eIlow-men, and that i. all
that is necessary but I am sure that I should
not want ny children 70 love ne in that way.
Suppose I should hear my children saying "Nov
to each other" Well, that would be part of it,
no doubt; but don't you suppose there is some
thing in my heart which would cry ost; Love
me, too, oh my children" And it is the glory
Of Gods heart chat he wants to b. loved himself.

THE MUSTER OF THE SECOND REG

The Bradford Muster appears to have gone
off with entire success. The Boston Journal

large, a fact which we are glad to note, as
too little attention is given by Vermont farm
ers to the raising of sheep for Mutton.
Among these are fine shows of the Cots
void variety by Messrs J Robinson Of Sher-
rington, c T; Charles Robinson, of Lacolle,
c. E, and Timothy Davis of East Mont
pelier.
Mr. John Robinson has the most remarka-
bic specimen in the shape Of sheep that we
ever saw. 1t is a Cotswold Buck weighing
800 lbs, with wool which measures over a
foot in length. He should be seen by every
body.
The entries Of swine are five in number,
and Of poultry thirty four coops, Of which
we must reserve notice.

LIQUoR SEIZURE The State Fair with it's
attendant crowds, offers great inducements
to rum-sellers TO bring on their liquor for
sale. But they find our authorities wide
awake. Monday, about 100 gallons of
liquor were seized, belonging to several deal
ers. Next morning Constable White seized
seventy-six packages, containing gin in bot
ties, and fifty gallons Of a vile compound,
also called GIN, in kegs, the property OF W. c.
Stowell. 1t is thought that Stowell has been
driving a good trade in gin for some time, but
has thus far escaped prosecution.

MR. W. c. STowELL, who appears in We'd
nesday mornings Times, backed by the edi-
t1rial favor and countcnance of that sober
Journal, seems to imply in his meek and quiet
paragraph, that the statements in cur item
on liquor seizures Wednesday are Incorrect
We have only to say that the facts were fur
nished US by the officers Of the law, who are
considered 70 he reliIble authority. Mr..
Stowell denies that the liquor was his prop
ertv,-but he viii probably not deny that
it was found in his possession and that some
Of the kegs and packages bore his name
The trial will probably settle some of these
controverted points, and we leave the sub
iect till then, with the remark that the impu-
tation TO us Of personal animosity is sim
ply absurd. The sun total Of our knowledge
Of Mr. Stowell, previous to the affair. was
that he was, as we supposed, a respectable
dealer in hoop skirts. We are conscious of
no luminosity against such skirts o. dealers
in them, when skirts and dealers keep them
selves within bounds.

ToMAToEs.-Some years ago we rec
commended to our readers to trim toma-
toes, and we have found no cause for
changing our practice. The plant bears
eighty per cent of its fruit within eighteen
inches Of the ground, while moro than half
of the plant is above that part. When
the branches are cut they do not bleed,
and they may therefore be shortened in
Immediately above the large or early set
ting fruit. The removal of the small fruit
on the ends of the branches is no loss, for
the lower fruit will swell to an unusual
size by the trimming, and both greater
weight and measure of fruit will be the
consequence, besides obtaining larger
portion five to fifteen days earlier. The
trimming should be so done as to leave a
few leaves beyond the fruit, to insure per-
feet ripening. When tomatoes arc first
brought to market they bring frequently

TRIAL OF S. M. BoorH, AT MILwAU-
KEE.-The trial Of Sherman NJ. Booth,
for the alledgcd seduction of Caroline N.
Cook, commenced at Milwaukee on We'd
nesday last. The proceedings thus far
have been mainly taken up with the tes-
timony of Miss Cook and her parents
The story told by the former is very much
to the point, rivaling in indecency our
most successful cases of Grim. con.
The counsel for the prosecution stated
that they expected to be made out four
points, required by the statutes 10 estab
lish a case Of seduction: First, that
Booth did have intercourse with the girl
IN question; Second, that she was unmar-
ried; Third, that she was of previous
good character; Fourth, that he was a
married man al the time. The testimony
thus far seems to have established all these
points, except the third, upon which the
testimony is conflicting
