GOVERNORS OF VERMoNT.-Ver-
mont has had twenty-three Govern
ors, six of whom-Wm. A. Palmer,
Carlos Coolidge, Erastus Fairbanks,
Stephen Royce, Ryland Fletcher,
and Inland Hall-are still living.
Thomas Chittenden was longest in
Office, having been Governor eigh-
teen and half years SUCCESSFULLY
with the exception of a single year.
Isaac Tichenor, was Governor
eleven years, James Galusha nine
years, Silas FL. Jennison FIVE years
William A. Palmer four years, Rich
ard Skinner, Cornelius P. Van Ness
and Samuel c. Crafts, three years
each; Martin Chittenden, Ezra

Israel Smith, John Mattocks, Eras
tus Fairbanks, and John S. Robin
son, one year each. Van Ness wa
elected the third time by an almos
unanimous vote, and several recen
Governors have been elected b,
such large majorities that the oppo
sition votes were hardly wort
counting.

cies of argument some Of their editors
delight in for want of more convincing
proofs. 1t seems as though they had
ransacked their miserable brains in vain
search of more worthy cause of opposi-
ton, and were driven as a last resort to
set up personal beauty as proper quail
fication for the presidency And not on
ly personal appearance but former hum
bic occupations, however honorable to
the man, or adapted to his circumstances
in life, are made prolific source Of ridi-
cule. Such attacks only show the weak
ness of those who make them.
These shifts of the opposition show
clearly the characters of the parties them
selves-willing to adopt any means and
resort to any subterfuge for the purpose
Of gaining their ends and making them
selves masters for the next four years,
when they will again repeat the shame
lful proceedings which have been enacted
during the present administration. Pol
icy instead of principle is their rule oil
action. Witness the New York fusion
where with no similarity of principle
Douglasites and Bell men, members o
the old American party and foreign borr
citizens, Aocked around one common ban
ner, wherein was inscribed their only
object, " Defeat to Lincoln" But disli
king each other as cordially as they d.
the republicans, there is hope that thu
bringing together of such discordant ma
terials will produce repulsion of parti
Giles, thus defeating the object sought, anc
finally weaken the individual parties ST
basely prostrating themselves to the dirt,
work of aspiring schemers. Whethe
: this be the result or not, the fact onl,
tends to strengthen our view, that th
+ opposition will do any thing in their pow
err, even though dictated by the bases
motives, to arrest the onward march {
the republican party and the triumph {
its principles.

MELoDEoNs AND HARMoNIUMs.-
Messrs. Mason & Hamlin of Boston
have been very successful in the manu-
facture of these instruments, which are
now extensively used, and have found
their way all over New England; great
many of them are sold for the South and
West.
The Melodeons of Mason & Hamlin
have always been awarded the first pre-
MUM at every fair at which they have
been exhibited, which are now twenty
three in number. Their Organ Harmo-
NUNS received the first gold medal ever
awarded to reed instruments in this coun-
try. These instruments supply want
heretofore existing. They are especially
adapted to churches of medium size, lee.

variety and volume of tone, ease of per
Torrance, and comparatively low cost, are
superior for the purposes specified, and Il
be preferred above many organs of twice
their expense. They have two banks o
KEYS, and the reeds are voiced in such /;
manner as to give each a quality of tone
peculiar to itself, and initiate so closet,
the organ stops, whose names they bear
/ that the ear can with difficulty distinguish
between them. BY the arrangement 0
stops, coupler, &c, every grade of powe

Honor to Orleans.

Mr.. EARLE-Dear Sir-In your no
tice of the late meeting of the County
Conference at Westfeld, you very justly
remarked that the exercises on that occa-
sion were of surprising and unusual in
terest. This was the universal sentiment
of those who were present. The admi-
rable opening discourse by Rev. Henry
A. Hazen, struck an earnest and eleva-
ted key note-giving an enterprise and
impulse and direction to the subsequent
discussions and deliberations, which was
we'll sustained throughout. There was
one fact stated before the Conference by
our efficient Secretary for Foreign Mis-
sions, of most interesting and encoura-
ging character, which ] think should be
known by the churches Of this county and
the members of the community generally.
/ The contributions to the treasury of the
American Board, from this county, haye
exceeded those of the previous year by
an adoance Of fortyjour per cent. Or
leans county need not be ashamed in
presence of her sister counties. While
our advance has been A per cent, thai
of the entire state has been only fifteer
per cent. This fact presents a mos
cheering view of the liberality of pro
Tossing Christians in this county, anC
should stimulate them to greater exer
tons for the future. The aspiration t.
excel in so holy cause, is no ignobl'
ambition. While few individuals may
perhaps, have exercised some self-denia
in order to make these contributions ant
advance, with the larger portion, it is Il
be believed, it has been accomplished
without any sensible effort or abridge
ment of their accustomed participation
of the comforts and Injuries of life.
might be confidently and safely asserte'
that still further increase, by the great
err number Of the donors, might be mad
upon these contributions during the com
; ing year, without even approximatin
very closely upon the point of sever
| and painful selfdenial. Let US hop
: that the friends of Missions, instead
i, resting in supineness and complacenc
with what has been achieved, will onl
p derive from it incentive to nobler PEI
Torrance for the future. Let the claim
of Christ and the wants of the perishin
, millions of heather lands be pondere
by US and familiarised to our minds an
J, hearts, till we feel ourselves melted to
5 still higher standard Of Christian libe
a ality, effort and devotedness. T. B.

CHAPTER e CoNCLUDENT.


In the introductory of these familiar
sketches the writer intimated that, altho'
their number and the time of their COM
pletion were slightly indeterminate, yet,
in all probability, their number would be
finite and the time Of their completion
would surely arrive. In verification of
this intimation we, to-day, present his
last number. In penning these sketches
be has had one prominent aim, namely,
to give hints to all classes of persons,
who are interested in Common Schools,
which might be useful to them in the
discharge of their various duties. Al
though, from the pressure of other du-
ties, he has not been able TO bestow that
time upon these sketches which was me-
cessary to develop he best thoughts and
the best modes of expression, yet he has
found pleasure in this hasty composition,
trusts that his prominent aim has been,
in degree, attained, and hopes that
those for whose profit the sketches have
been given, are ia measure satisfied
Very much more might be written that
would be useful. Many departments Of
the subject nave not even been touched
upon. Did circumstances favor, the wri-
ter would gladly continue these sketches
until nesrer approximation to COM
plete view should be attained. Especial
" would he have liked to give some il.
Illustrations of School Instruction, in dis
tinction from School Government which
has been made prominent in the few las
chapters. Until quite recently this wa:
embraced in the plan that he had mark
ed out But, circumstances, Ito which
all persons are subject render it neces
sary for the writer to devote all his timt
to other duties, and he must, therefore
to-day, take final leave of his readers il
the Standard. Begging indulgence fol
the very imperfect manner in which h
has performed what he has undertaken
he bids his kind readers an affectionat,
farewell. KARLMARo.

THE FAIR AT CRAFTsBURY.-We
publish in another column the secretary
report of the Second Annual Fair of the
Orleans Independent Agricultural and
Mechanical Society, lately held at Crafts
bury Common. We were unable to be
present, owing to a press of business in
our office, but we learn from many who
did attend that there was quite large
turn out, notwithstanding the weather
was very unfavorable. Had the weather
been less forbidding, there is no reason
to doubt but that the show of animals
and mechanical works, would have ex-
ceeded the show Of last year, when it
will be remembered that we said they
had the best fair ever held in the COUNTY.
There was no lack of speakers. Among
those introduced were Rev. Schuyler
Chamberlain of Crafsbury, John A.
Child of Hydepark. and Geo. Damon OF
Bradford.
Elder Chamberlain congratulated bis
fellow citizens that, notwithstanding the
rain Of the morning, the occasion was
altogether a success. He spoke of our
state, and of Orleans county in particu
lar as to agriculture, and was glad he wa;
citizen Of Vermont, and Interested il
its farming business, though native o
Connecticut. The season had been, il
part, one of some solicitude, but was ma
turing with bounty to lay all under OBJ
legations of devout praise and thanksgiv
, ing.
Mr.. Child said he was present casual
r ly only, but was interested in the occa
sion he was not accustomed to publ
speaking out of the line of his profes
! sional business, but in view of what h
saw, he would express his conviction O
the superiority of Vermont as a farmin
state; and he drew a striking contra:
between Vermont and other states, par
ticularly the southern and western, all i
favor of our own state. Vermonters ha
good reason to be well contented wit
their own state.
Mr. Damon referred to subjects {
general interest on such ar occasion; hi
manner was easy and free and, inter
mingling sentiment and fancy, and hr
mor throughout, with a glance or two
politics and compliments to the ladies, h
was listened to with evident qualification
After these speakers, Mr.. VIM.
Hastings, the President of the day, il
dulged in some pleasant and interestir
: "reminiscences, and subsequently NJ
Holmes, principal of Craftsbury Acad
my, and Rev. Geo. Tallman of Green
boro, were called on by the presider
and each in turn responded to the call

MIssIsQUoI VALLEY FAIR. We
would remind our readers that the peo-
pie in the Missisco valley will hold their
Annual Cattle Show and Fair, on We'd
nesday, Oct Sd, at South Troy. We I'M
derstand that the Society will be favored
on that occasion with an address by Hon.
Homer E. Royce, our representative in
congress, and also that they have engaged
the attendance of the Glover Brigade
Band. The exhibition of this society
last year was a very creditable one, and
from the spirit with which the people of
the valley do everything which they I'M
dertake-whether it be good or evil
we apprehend they will have something
worth seeing and hearing this year. Let
Us all turn out and see what our neigh
bors in the west side of the county are
about, and whether they can make as
rich display of cattle and horses, of the
products of agriculture and of art, as
they did one year ago. We think they
viii do better.

The Fair at Craftsbury.
The Second Annual Fair for the
towns of Albany, Craftsbury,
Greensboro and Glover, was held
at Craftsbury, on Thursday Of last
week. The day was unusually
rainy, so that there was but small
part of the stock and articles in
tended for exhibition brought on to
the ground. Considering the day,
the attendance was good, and quite
satisfactory to all interested.
The Hon. Portus Baxter was not
present; but several gentlemen be-

SEMI-CENTENNIAL ANNIVERsAKY.-

who take interest in the religious history
and progress of the county, that the Con-
gregational church in Coventry will cele-
brate its semi-centennial anniversary next
Tuesday, Oct. I'd. Services to commence
at 1-2 o'clock P. M. The sermon will

notices of all the ministers of the church.
New STEAM MILL AT SOUTH Troy.
We learn that the new steam saw and
grist mill erected at South Troy, the past
summer, by Messrs. Kay, Aiken & Small
ley, is now nearly or quite Completed
1t will be in operation on the day of the
fair at that place next Wednesday, and
will prove an attractive feature to the
people there assembled. for it will affort
abundant proof of the healthy growtt
and fattering prospects of the Missiscc
E valley. The mill is about 100 feet Ions
by so wide, and will cost about ten thou
sand dollars when completed. We ad
f mire the enterprise of its builders, ant
hope that their spirit viii meet with
large return of dollars.
