friends of education throughout the State.

uratiomdi journal, devoted to the interests Of
education in Vermont. 1t isa very rcspecta-

Board.
AMERICAN STOCK JouRNAL.-Thc July

mcnt Of agriculture, and how that now the
stock raiser is one of the most important
personages of our time Every man who
gives his attention to this business should
have the reading OF good paper, and the
Stock journal, published at li0 Fulton St,
New York, at 81 rtur, is as good an one as
can be found. ID. c. Linslcy, editor.

The Homestead is the only agricultural pa

co1ps of able editors. il is one Of the most ac-
ccpiube rural journals in New England. We
wish our old friend abundant success in this
