Catholic Praying.

The Republicans intended that the clergymon
OF Montpelier (the Catholic Priest excepted)
should act alternately as Chaplain to the House,
and when the Democracy will not permit of
any exceptions being made under the wording
OF the resolutions introduced by one of the
best Democrats in the State, the FREEMAN has
to swallow the pill but makes an awful puck
cred countcnance and says /" The bearing Of
these resolutions was probably not understood.
The Catholic Rutland Courier, of Dug
Breck-Bcll- Everett proclivitics, with less than
six hundred subscribers, says the above in re-
ply to short squib relating to the effort OF
Rev. Mr.. Druon, who offered prayer in the
House one morning last week 10 us the
Courier has to labor rather harder than we
should want to, to distort some meaning in the
article adverse to Mr.. Druon. In the first
place, the Republicans of Montpelier " had
nothing to do with the election of Chaplain.
In the second place, our estimation of Mr..
Druon's abilities-and we think it the same
as q majority of the Republicans of Montpe-
lier,'-is quite as favorable as of any clergy
man in the vicinity of the Capital. In the
third place, the intent of that article was a
pleasantly atthe expense Of those members in
favor of " rotation" and not in any manner
rejecting upon Mr.. Druon, Last of all, the
article VS. written by member of the Assem-
bly, who is wont to be courteous to everybody
without any intimation iof ours SO the Com-
Ter will see that the FREEMAN does not " bel
low SO bad as the barking " bull "-Cain.ine
of the Courier would fcign imagine. Will the
Courier please take up the ungentlemanly
squib OF the Daily Times, which refers to the
same effort, and comes from His Catholic Maj
cSty, the General.

TIE STATE CABINET CT NATURAL History, in
the Capitol at Montpelier, under the very capa-
BILE, efficient and scientific management and care
of A. D. Hagar, is making manifest advances
in interest and value. Much progress has been
made, during the past year, in properly prepar-
ing ard arranging specimens in the cases, and
the room is already one of the chief attractions
about the State House. We believe Mr.. Hagar
has nearly completed the scientific arrangement
of the valuable and extensive collection of the
late Zadock Thompson (now the property Of
the State) which attracts much attention and is
Of special nterest.-Daiiy Times.
In addition 10 the above the writer suggests
that the room appropriated for the accommoda-
= lion Of this department is too small and should
be enlarged Or larger one furnished. In addi-
ton to this it will at some time be n good plan
to furnish catalogues and descriptions Of the
several branches here represented.

The RESULT OF THE STATE ELECrIoNs.-The
Dug -Breck- Bell Eyeretts have consoled them
selves to considerable extent over their fan
ced gains of Members of Congress in the late
elections. But how small crumb of comfort
this is, will be seen by comparison Of the last
and present Congress. The last Congress in
presentation. from Ohio was, fifteen Republic
cans and six Democrats. This year the Demo-
Gratis have eight and the Republicans thirteen.
In Pennsylvania, the representation last year
was the same as neutrality-suspicious. and
five Democrats. In Indiana the representation
last year was, seven Republicans, three Demo.
Gratis, and one Independent; this year, eight
Republicans, two Democrats, and one Inde-
pendent, giving the Democrats net gain Of
one member.

PICKING ONE ANoTHER's EYES OuT.-The Rut-
land Herald and Courier have got into the
interesting amusement of picking out one an,
others eyes for the benefit of the public. The
former partner Of the Courier gives the Herald
his affidavit that the circulation of the Cour.
Ter has never exceeded six hundred. This is
pretty good authority, and shows the paper up
in not very enyiablc light, A paper pre-
tending to live on six hundred subscribers az
one dollar per year, and a Douglas paper, too,
must be o terrible affair The Courier also
obtains the atidayts Of former EMPLOYEES in
Herald office that the circulation of the Herald
is not double that Of the Courier. This shows
the Herald at less than twelve hundred. Now
We are confirmed the moro in our opinion that
there must either be less papers in Vermont, OF
more enterprise, and that soon. But we advise
these foolish contemporaries to give their energies
to an increase Of their own circulation, instead
of tearing down their neighb01s.

A Board of Agriculture.

We have, during the past week, had occasion
to make examinations Of the reports OF the
Secretary of the Massachusetts, Board OF Agrl-
culture, and otherwise learn the practcablllty
of such Institutions We have not, however,
seen any material plan of operations for Yer
mont Board, nor do we learn that there are
those leading agricultural men in the LegsIa-
tare who take sufficient interest in the matter
to give it a successful inauguration. There is
need of time and inquiry, the suggestion is
new one. We learn that there are several bills
partially maturcd, and otherwisea general in
quiry in regard to it, but as yet without COM
ing to q successful conclusion There is need
cd a master hand which is not here, or at least
which has not shown itself.
As to the operations of board, should one
be created, and the practical results arising
therefrom, a writer in the Daily suggests that
the Board might inaugerate a series of agricul-
tural conventions, with courses Of lectures up
on agriculture, similar to the one at New Ha-
ven last winter In addition, there would be
general inquiry made into the condition of the
State, experiments and Improvements suggested,
and careful collection and publication through
the papers, of whatever reliable information
might be gathered. The Massachusetts Board
have adopted the plan Of sending out circulars
of inquiry, and making it the duty of societies
to make such experiments as suggested, to test
the practicability and utility of differing theo-
ries. As for instance, one inquiry the present
year is as to the proper depth Of applying ma
nure. Many contend for top dressing, while
others favor plowingi it in. At any rate, what
ever be the mode Of operation, it could not fill
to in time to awaken more general interest and
diftrse more thorough and extensive practic-
al knowledge among the farmers in our State,
Our first object to be accomplished or aimed at,
is to induce our farmers to read, examine, di.
gest and experiment for themselves. We fear
the farmer does not read, or does not heed what
he reads. lie does not think enough, does not
read enough, and does not correct his notions
by his reading and experiments. The old no
tions Of halt century ago will not apply as
we'll to an exhausted soil, as to the new soil of
that time, and while the wits of our farmers
should be at work to know how to get the
largest amount Of manures, they should also
know where and how, and in what quantities
and what kinds to apply to what soils If there
are those in the State who have any, or all, Of
this knowledge, why a systematic arrangement
would collect it and increase it. Everything
which meets with general degree of success,
requires system, and successful farming requires
it more than the most of farmers are apt to con-
ceive. If Board Of Agriculture should in
any manner tend to awaken this necessity, we
shall think much good accomplished in its Gre
alton.

The Democratic papers, although rather 10th,
have finally heard from the October elections.
They put the best phase possible upon the re-
suit, and look with wistful eyes toward New
York and 1864, The view is rather dim, and
their assurances faint. They admit that the
Democrats arc heads down, by exorting them,
as in the language of the Patriot: Demo
Gratis, hold up your heads But do not bet"-
Shut your eyes and watch and pray" That
is doyout position, but one in which we do
not believe the COL can set those everlasting
political sinners into.

A New RAILRoAD--It Will DO seen by refer
cncc to the map of the State, that only few
miles Of railroad is wanting to connect the
Connecticut and Passumpsic Railroad with the
Grand Trunk at Island Pond. Leaving the
Paasumpsic road at Burke, and passing through
Newark, the distance is not more than fifteen
miles, and not very difficult for the construction
of railroad. Among other matters, We I'M
dcrstand that it is proposed to ask leave of the
present Legislature to connect these two
thoroughlares at this place, and we hope it will
be granted

TA1Es.-Since the publication of the reports
to the Legislature, there has been considerable
inquiry as to why such an amount of taxes
were left uncollected If the Treasurer has
been remi8s in this matter, the people should
know it. Or if there is any good reason for
this condition Of affairs, let us have it. If not
by all means let US have the truth, and VIC trust
the present session will not pass without su oh
an inquiry as has for some years been felt to bt
necessary.

APPLES IN VERMONT Vcrmonters claim tbot
the Champlain Valley is the paradise of apples
and Judging by some which we have received
from Lyman Hall, Esq, of Shelburnc, the claim
appears to be well founded. The lot includes
several varieties the principal being the cele.
brated Fameuse apple, which reaches perfection
only in Northern Vermont and Canada. They
are medium sized fruit, very handsome. and
exquiSitoly favored, being in their prime in No

ADJUSTMENTS LAST EVENING,

The bill at the Varieties was a repetition, conse-
quentlY there was nothing novel to require mention
this morning-there was no novelty in the circum.
stance of Mrs. Wood and Dolly Davenport keeping
the house in a roar during the evening, and the
former convincing every auditor that she is per.
feet magazine of humor and art, with inexhausti-
BILE comedy resources on which to draw at will in
any position of the mimic life of her profession.
Davenport was vigorously and dashingly comical,
and Miss Susan Denim just as graceful, possessed,
proper, and generally and particularly charming
as ever. /" The Governors Wife and Jenny
Lind u will be repeated tonight again.
John Duley, the comic bones of the great Rum
sey & Newcomb troupe of minstrels, had rushing
benefit last night, and he deserved it. The crowd
got into perfect gale of good humor, and clapped
and stamped, and shouted and encored, and threw
boquets at the happy little Duley in extraordinary
style. We see that Col. Clark, whom everybody
knows on his own merits and as the business
manager of the Campbells, is to have benefit on
Monday night He should have rouser.

PENSACOLA, April 6.--By the arrival of an officer
Of the sloop-ofwar Savannah, which lies six miles
below this city, the following interesting particu-
lars from Vera Cruz are given:
General hiramon and his army commenced the
bombardment of Vera Cruz on the morning Of the
2lst ultimo. The fire was necessarily kept up
during three days, but towards the evening of the
23d Miramon began to retreat with his forces from
the walls of Vera Cruz, having met with heavy
loss. ss
Had Miramon persisted a little longer before the
walls of the city he would have been able to have
captured it, for the Juarez or Liberal forces were
nearly destitute Of ammunition etc.
Capture of Suspicious Bark
On the evening of the 23d ult., the steamer In
dianola, recently purchased by the Constitutional
Government Of Mexico, and fitted out as a war
steamer, to cruise along the coast Of Mexico ar
rived off the Castle of San Juan d'Uloa and
brought to anchorage bark captured by her, on
suspicion Of being pirate.
The bark was captured in the neighborhood Of
Alvarado, bearing Spanish colors.
She was bound, according to the statement OF
her officers, for Galveston; but her compasses
having been put out Of order, she made for the
nearest Mexican port.
She is strongly suspected to be the third vessel
mentioned in the intercepted dispatches of Mira
mon as having supplies for him.
