GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN, NOV Is, 1860

celent Representative from Royalton, Mr.. DEN
IsoN, in addressing the Speaker" May please
the Court reminds us of a similar accident
that belel Hon ANDREW TRACY, one OF tae most
accomplished Speakers that ever occupied the
Chair of the House, who on his first election to
the Speakership, addressed the members as
Gentlemen Of The Jury "
Both these gentlemen are able lawyers in large
practice, and the expressions that thus lnadver-
tantly escaped them, to the infinite amusement
of the House, only Indicate the habtual conccn-
tration of their thoughts upon tholr profession
al avocations .-1imes.
In Addison county, where the drouth has
been very severe during the former part Of the
season, there has been an abundance OF rain
since the beginning of autumn, 80 that fruit
trees of various kinds put forth their blossoms
During a week or two recently spent there we
saw apple, cherry, plum and pear trees In bios
som. An occurrence of this kind happened
about twenty years ago, and most OF the trees
that blosSomed in autumn died the following
winter. Fears are entertained of similar
result this coming season.-Herdld'
MISUNDERSTANDING the beautiful moonlight
nights of last week, several old fashioned husk-
ings were held in this vicinity, plentifuily en-
hilerating essence of Cider. What other Occa,
sion than that OF full golden harvest of corn
and pumpkins is better calculated to make
mans heart grateful and merry? Even the
round faced, melancholy moon, cold and chaste
as she is these cool yearwaring evenings,
seemed to look on with more than half smile
Of benevolent approval Even Boaz among his
sleeves, could not have had his bounty stated
heart more moved by the dream; inspiring APP
proaches of Ruth, than is the farmers " the
rustling of the husks under the hands OF busy
huskers as they give forth the cars OF golden
corn.

AGRcuLrrRE IN THE VERMONT IEGlsLATURE.-
| We are sorry to learn that the House has voted
down the bill for an Agricultural Bureau in
this State, bill recommended by the Governor
and advocated by many of tie papeis of the
State; bill which meets a great want and
which fosters the leading interest OF Vermont.
Much as we regret this action, and the shOr
sighted, penny wise policy which leads to it,
we are not without hope that sober, second
thought will awaken the farming interest, and
that the bill may pass the Senate and find bet
ter reception in the House than the vote al
ready had there indicates. Are we always to be
behind our sister States In this respect when
we are more emphatically farming State than
any other? Our motto. is encouragement to
Agriculture, the great key Of our prosp3rity.-

FAITHFUL MINISTER'S OF HKALTH.-ln examin-
ing the vessels at the various wharyes we find
among the curiosties of our commerce the brig
Miranda, Just in from TruxilIo with u cargo OF
Honduras Sarsaparilla for DR.. j. G. Aver Co,

articles used in oompounding their various rem.
cdies, that they have this drug like some Others
they consume, gathered for them by skillful
agent OF their own in the tropical regions of its
growth. lie informs US that there are many
species of this plant, but two of which are real
e ly valuable in medicine the qualities of these
are also affected by the time of gathering, mode
OF curing, ETC., operations which in that region
of unreliable workmen imposes heavy labor
upon him. One of the inert varieties of Sarsa
= parilla grows wild in our own forests, while sew
eral others, nearly worthless, abound in Central
; and South America. The intelligent agent as
sured us that the virtues of this drug had never
been fully told, and that the reason of the low
esteem in which many hold it is manly due tc
the importation Of such immense quantities Of
the worthless varieties Ills accounts of his
trips to Honduras and his business excursions
