MrLIrARY.-The Burlington Times has the
following notice of the Military Company's on
their way to the Muster of the first Regiment at
Rutland
The Calais Artillery passed through town
yesterday morning, and at IL last evening
the New England Guards, OF Mortified, and
the Marshfeld Rifles, arrived by the Eastern
train, and left for Rutland at h~alf-past eight.
The Mortified Guards marched through our
streets to the Public Square, and after going
through with ii dress parade very handsomely,
stacked arms in the Town Hall, and repaired to
the American, where they took tea. The officers
of the company are Capt. S. G. PATTERSON, and
Lleutenants Gho. NICHOLS, CHAs. BARRETT, W.
c. Woodbury., and c. H. Joyce. Tho uniform
OF the Company is very snowy and neat, Il 81. = 9
precision of their drill and marching :
deservedly admired. They are entitled to Int,
credit for the fine military condition they bA
attained in the short time since their orgali~~-
ton last Fall. Capt. PATTERSON is evidently a
competent and efficient officer. The Guards
were accompanied by the excellent Mortified
Cernet Band.
The Marshfield Rifles marched from the De-
pot, preceded by martial music, to the Annoy
OF the Howard Guard, where they were Re
bountifully entertained as the brief notice Of
their coming would permit. The officers of the
Rifles are, Capt. B. PIKE, and Lieutenants D.
P. SPENCER, j. ORcUTT and w. II. Ii. GILMAN.
Capt. TYLER, and the Howard Guard, regret
ted that the change in the time of arrival in
Burlington of these Companies, prevented the
formal reception and escort duty that they would
have been glad to offer. As it was, however,
the affair went off very pleasantly.
The Howard Guard and tho Rochester Guard
leave for Rutland at 8 Is this morning.

by a very attractive specimen of carved and
gilt work standing on the sidewalk in front of
Messrs. Blake q Davenport's extensive furniture
establishment, Nos. Il to "a. 1t was the
Coat-of- Arms of Vermont, with its striking
mountainous and rural landscape set in gorge
Gus scrolls on either side, and surmounted with
the head and antlers of an elk. The piece is to
be placed in the Representatives Hall of the
splendid new granite State House, now in pro-
cess OF construction at Montpelier, under the
architectural supervision OF Joseph R. Richards,
Esq, OF tins city, and when placed in proper
position, will reflect great credit upon American
art. Mesrs. Blake & Davenport are also en-
gagged to supply the furniture of the building.

Gov. Chase, in his late speech at Sandusky,
says that the Democrats Of that State decline tC
discuss local and financial matters, He adds
"An that they seem to say is niger, niggel
niger / don't know but in thus discussing
and assailing the negro, they act upon the prin
ciple SO highly recommended in athletic con
tests, to take one of their own size. (Laugt,
ter.) But, fellow citizens, it does seem to mt
that we have other questions which interest us
in this country, besides this question Of slavery
and questions, too, to which we should pay
good deal of attention"
The Democratic party may safely be called
the " niger party" now.

Good Farming.

Our old Democratic friend, J. NJ. Rich
ardson, Uncle Bucks P. NJ. at Waitsfeld, has
taken pity On us, and left US a liberal sam
pie of some Prize potatoes, of good size and
most excellent quality, which he raised by
planting the seed ends Of the smallest pota-
toes, each year for four years, when these
potatoes are the result. And we are inform
ed that they yielded at the rate Of 4So bush
els per acre. Good yield that! He also
left us some samp!es-of seed corn and other,
sufficiently ripe to grind. Surely, the frost
won't hurt that. Also six pods of the Sec
ond crop ,ot peas raised from seed this Sum-
mer, So peas will grow from peas raised the
SAME year. We think the Waitsfeld P. M.
makes as good.a Farmer as he did Dry Goods
dealer, and WIS are sorry to learn that he has
an itching to own a negro, aud talks of 60
ing to Alabama for that purpose.

MILKING IN SILENoE.-~At the Farmers
Club at West Cornwall, Conn.,, one of the
members observed that no talking should be
allowed while milking was going on. An
other said he had discharged a man because
he would talk and interrupt the milking in
his dairy, and in three days the increase of
milk was equal to the mans wages.

Pics mi Pic TRoUGHs.-W. j. Pettoe
says, in the Boston Cuitirator: +" If pigs
are troublesome, by getting into the trough
and thus rendering their food unpalatable, a
remedy is found in mailing Stats an inch wide
across the trough, leaving a space of from
four to six inches, according to the size of
the animal. This will be found to have the
desired effect, and also will do away with
the crowding and fighting so common among
pigs when eating"

With no aid from the South, were the Re-
publican candidate to carry all the above-named
States except Pennsylvania and New Jersey, he
would still fail of an election by two votes. lie
must, then, receive the support of either Penn.
%sylvania or NV Jersey. Now, all who are
familiar with the peculiar position of parties
in these two States must feel morally certain
that they will vote together in 1850 as they did
in 1856. Causes that will control the result in
the one, can hardly fail to operate with like ef-
feet in the other. We have little faith in the
sagacity Of the man who does not arrive at this
conclusion after u careful survey of the condi
ton of parties in those States.
A prudent calculator would set down Indiana,
Illinois, California and Oregon among the
doubtful States. We think the Republicans
have the best chance for them, and, with II jul
dicious nomination, will carry them all. But,
even if we lose them, and can secure the Al
votes of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Minnesota
and Kansas, these, with the LA cast for FIRE.
mont, will give our candidate 1855, being one
more than is necessary to elect him.

FROM JEFFERSON Observation-Disclosures Ter
ritory is the name applied to the region of
country embracing Pixies Peak and the gold
districts. The settlers have recently held a
convention and adopted a State constitution, and
a memorial to Congress for organization as a
Territory, and the people are to decide by vote
whether they will have a State or Territorial
government. A resolution allowing foreign
born citizens TO vote on the adoption of the
constitution or memorial was lost. The boun-
daries of Jefferson are given as follows From
27 to 43 north latitude-4l7 miles. From lC2
to ITO degrees west longitude on the south line
-329 and one-hfth miles. 1O2 to 10 degrees
on the north line-31O miles and a fractionE
Area, 1919 sos square miles. The following
items of local intelligence are from the Rocky
Mountain lNe,0s:
During the last month, the rainy season has
continued in the mountains, preventing the
miners from pursuing their labors, producing
considerable sickness, and in the shape of So
called mountain fever, of which some twenty
persons died. A much larger number were
obliged to leave the diggings, in consequence of
less violent visitations by the same disease. For
about ~ week, however, the rains have ceased
to prevail in the mountains, and mining is again
actively carried on.
J. Van Duzen gives an interesting account of
Il prospecting tour made into the country. He
went 100 miles north OF Mountain City, and ,
found gold in all the streams and valleys, and
arrangements were perfected for a thorough
exploration.
The Pixies Peak Gold Reporter says:
In the immediate. vicinity of our Office, both
lead and gulch mining are progressing extensive,
ly, many Of the sluices are making from one to-
four hundred dollars per day, and was it not for a
the scarcity of water, which prevails in conse- y
quence OF the large number of sluices in usq.
much more of the fine gold could be saved, mi
which now escapes in the muddy water. e
In the branches of the creeks which run
between every range of mountains for miles
around this place, we discovered miners at work,
and on some branches a considerable number,
making from SIS to $40 per day. We find lead
claims being worked on a branch some three
miles from here paying about $50 per day to
the man
We have visited some of the dry gulches and
are satisfied that many hands are making an
ounce a day who have to haul the dirt three
fourths of a mile to water. In some of the
claims on Russell's gulch men are taking out a
pound of gold a week.
North of this place we hear of new and rich
developments as far North as the Cheyenne
Pass prospectors are out, and reports mostfavor-
able to the mining interests are being received.

"Aunt Rhoda tells the readers of the ".
E. Farmer, how to make good butter. H:r
way is as follows:
"Skim the milk as soon as it sours, and
before it thickens, if possible; stir the
cream faithfully, especially when new is add
ed. Set the jar ina cool place if the GEL
lar is not cold and sweet, set it in the spring,
or hang it in the well-any way to keep it
cool. After the last cream is added before
ohurning, then : 60 a visiting if you please,
as cream should not be churned the day it is
taken off. At night-fall fill the churn with
cold water, and start the churning at early
dawn, and my word for it, you will soon find
a solid mass Of golden-colored butter. free
from white specks, and when properly salted
and packed, fit for the table Of our friend
the Farmer, or any other.
N. B.-After the buttcrmilk starts, pour
in cold water, a little at a time, turning the
crank slowly and carefully back and forth
this prevents the butter from closing too
rapidly, does me- break the grains, and gives
every particle of the cream a chance to form
into butter.

Glasses VS.. Lasscs.
The lover may sigh
For the soft beaming eye
or the fairy who reigns DER his soul;
But he knows not the bliss
That abides in the kiss
OF the bright, of the rosy-llpped bowl!
The fair one may chide,
When she's once made a bride
The kind light Of her smile may grow dim
But the beaker will shine
While The mirth giving wine
Cleans red from its radient brim.
The Goblet's a maid
That will never upbraid
She smiles not alone on the proud;
But all from her lip
The bright nectar may sip,
That dispel Is every care-boding cloud.

How TO TEST EaGs.-A correspondent of
the Springfield Republican says:
There is no difficulty whatever in testing
eggs; they are mostly examined by a candle.
Another wry to tell good eggs is to put them
in a pail of water, and if they are good they
will lay on their sides, always; if bad, they
will stand on their small end, the large end
always uppcrmost, unless they have been
shaken considerably, when they will stand
either end up. Therefore, a bad egg eau be
told by the way it rests in w~ater-always
end up never on its side. Any egg that lies
fiat is good to eat, and can be depended upon.
An ordinary mode is to take them into a
room moderately dark land hold them between
the eye and a candle Or lamp. IF the egg be
good-that is, if the albumen is still unaf-
fected-a light will shine through a reddish
glow; while, if affected, it will be opaque or
dark"
