My friend says 1.-THE University SO much
talked of, and about to go into operation is all
in my eye. Not the first red cent has yet been
raised to set it agoing, or to sustain it."
But there is one item in the letter which will
brighten the faces of the friends of "Woman's
rights" and, doubt not, be news to others; it
is as follows Ordinance 9TH, of Bloomington
Township reads, "That all persons holding prop
erty within the limits of the corporation of said
town, whether resident or not, shall be entitled
to vote at the municipal elections thereof And
be it further ordained that every citizen over

shall be entitled to vote and be eligible to any

friend, who has been nailed for the crime of
sheep-stealing, thus defends him -
We have known Mr. Thomas for twelve years
Our acquaintance commenced with the great
equinoctial storm which blew down our grand
fathers barn. At that time he was Young
man in the prime of life, and we think raised
the best marrowfat peas that we ever ate. He
was a good mathematician, kind % the poor,
and troubled with fits. In all the relations of
husband, father, uncle, and trustee of common
lands he has followed the direct standard of
duty. Mr. Thomas is at this time forty three
years of age, slightly marked with the small
pox, an estimable citizen, church-member, and
a man of known integrity for ten years And
as to sheep. stealing, that he would have done it
if he could get an opportunity, is without foun-
daton in point of fact. Mr. Thomas could
have stolen our lead pencil several times, but
he didn't do it.

rHoLIClSM VERSUS pRorEsrAN7lsM

ca THOLfCISM VERSUS PROTESTANTISM
There has been of late considerable excite
mcnt in Boston on account of the refusal of
some Catholic children to repeat the Command
ments and the Lords prayer in the public
schools. The subject has been freely discussed
by the press, has found its way into the pulpit,
and been the theme of conversation at Clubs
and in private circles. One teacher was guilty
of the barbarity of severely Furnishing boy
for refusing, in accordance with the direction of
his father to go through with the prescribed
exercise. lie has been arraigned before the
Court for this act of cruelty, and now awaits
his sentence. A great variety of opinion has
been elected in the discussion of this subject.
Some say that the Bible and all formal religious
exercises should be excluded from the public
schools. This position they maintain on the
ground that public schools are designed to teach
other things and not religion: Some maintain
that the pupils ought not to be required to en-
gage in repeating portions of the Scriptures,
but this should be left to the teacher to perform
Some affirm that the rule or law requiring GER
tain portions of the Bible to be repeated in the
Schools should be strictly adhered to, and all
made to conform to it. The Catholic Priests
have uttered their opinion on the subject Faith
err Haskns, an American, and graduate of
Harvard College in the class of 1926, protests
against the regulation requiring the pupils to
repeat the passages referred to, but advises con-
formity thereto until the rule is changed by the
proper authority. The Priest who has been
most active in stirring up the rebellion is a for
eigner, and has been but a short time in this
country. The excitement has somewhat abated,
and the probability is, that, for the present, the
regulation will be nominally enforced. But the
end is not yet. The good people of Massachu-
sets must examine the principle on which the
rule requiring the Bible to be used in their pub
lie schools, or the performance of formal acts
of worship by the teacher or the pupils, rests,
and decide in accordance with perfect Justice
and liberation to all parties.
In Vermont the law requires that "each Or
gained town shall keep and support one or
more schools, provided with competent teachers.
OF good morals, for the instruction of the young
in photography, reading, writing, English gram
mar, geography, arithmetic, history of the Unit
ed States, and good behavior" There is no
law of the State requiring the Bible to be used
in the schools, or religious worship to be per-
formed. Nor have the Board of Education, or
the Town Superintendent, or District Commit
tees made any rule or regulation in regard to
this matter: The subject is left where it should
be; and no difficulty has arisen as we are aware
of, and no trouble is likely to arise while the
matter is left as it now is. Massachusetts and
other Statoo .whara tharo 10 any low or r,,la in
relation to this subject will do well to conform
to the usage Of Vermont, and thus remove all
occasion Of disturbance like that in the Boston
schools. B.

SENATOR SEwARD.-We see a short, delicate
ly made man, with singular looking, wrinkled
face and Roman nose; head calculated to
puzzle Spurzheini, covered with coarse, short,
gray hair, not verify tidily brushed; bushy, gray
eyebrows, oyerhanging eyes, most remarkable
for their brilliancy of expression; clothed-n at
tire neat to precision, but negligently worn.
We hear him speak, and his voice is poor-ev-
identity injured by the long and prodigal use of
snuff; his delivery careless even to slouchiness,
leaning against his desk, with his hands in his
pockets, his only gesture made with his head
which rolls about almost independently of his
body; thus deliberately, and more in the tone
of conversation than that of debate, he pours
out the most beautiful specimens of rhetoric, the
cearest logic in language of Saxon purity, the
profoundest anxioms, propheses that never fail,
legal aphorisms true the statutes, illustrations
drawn from every cource which literature has
reached-all clothed in language, not one word
of which need be blotted out.

Dwight Loomis, the republican member of

votes of about rs German democrats in New

schools.

1t has been so many years since the press has
had occasion to chronicle military organizations
beyond that of single companies move
ments elections and appointments, that most
readers will for time at least, think the word
military very novel if not singular heading
for newspaper paragraph. A few old people,
however, comprising most of those to whose
names military titles still continue to form in
separable handles, will, as they read accounts of
military organizations, recall the good old times
of spring trainin's and autumna musters, when
invested with little brief authority they strut
ted their short hour on the stage of action,
greatly to the admiration of the small boys and
buxom lasses and to the envy of high privates
looking to promotion from the ranks. All,
those were halcyon days when "fuss and feath-
ers," powder and pop. gingerbread and root
beer constituted the chief attractions of mill
tary review. There is scarcely an old COM
mandant left who does not, occasionally at least,
shoulder his crutch and Eight his battles DER
again."
By order of our present worthy Governor
and COMMUNICATIVE chief the militia of this
State have recently been organized into three
regiments, each regiment embracing the mill
tary of the congressional districts In the first
district the election of officers took place on the
9Th, Acknowledgement KELLOGG presiding
Capt. JOSEPH BUSH of the Allen Greys, Bran
don, was elected Colonel. Capt. GEO. A. Gill
MAN of the Mansfield Rifle Co., Lieutenant
Colonel, and Capl. EBEN S. HAYWARD of the
Middlebury Light Guard, Major.
In the second Regiment the election was
held at White River Junction on the 9Th, when
and where Capt P. I. WAsHBuRN of the
Woodstock Guards was elected Colonel. Capt
WAsHBURN declined the honor and thereupon
Prof. ALoNzo JAcKMAN, commander of the
Norwich University Cadets, was elected Col
onel; Capt WIN. DALE, Lieutenant Colonel !;
and Capt. w. w. COCHRAN of the Bellows Falls
Guards, Major.
The election in the Sd Regiment was held at
st. Adams on Tuesday, when Capt. d. w.
BLANCHARD Of Coventry, was chosen Colonel /;
Colonel; and Capt. F. C. HARRINGTON of
Charleston, Major
The election at Rutland concluded with sup
per at the Bardwell House. Col. Bush in a
speech took occasion to remark that while the
regiment was under his command no intoxicat-
ing iiquors would be permitted to be introduced
at any military gathering and that any indul-
genee therein by any one under his command
while on duty would be subject of discipline.
The supper alluded to was conducted on tenn
perance principles. The Rutland Company
have, we understand, a similar prohibition in
their bylaws, and in consequence thereof its
ranks is filed by some of the best and most re-
spectacle young men in the place. A rigid adj
herenee TO this rule will do much to remove OBJ
jections that have been made to military gath
erings.
