The PERSONAL LIBERTY Laws OF VERMONT AND
RHODE lsLAND.-We learn from Vermont that there
is strong feeling in favor of the repeal of the Per-
sonal Liberty Laws of that State The effort to
secure such repeal in the last Legislature was not
made under the most favorable auspices 1t was
urged as party measure by leading Democrats
VINO seemed to be actuated more by a spirit of par
ty prOpagandism than by desire that Vermont
should fulfil to the letter and spirit her confederate
obligations. But the Legislature, nevertheless re-
ierred the matter to the Commissioners on the re-
vision of the statutes for their opinion. 1t is un-
derstood that the Commissioners will advise a re-
peal, and that Gov. Fairbanks favors this action
Gov. Sprague ofRhode Island has publicly declared
himself in favor of the immediate abrogation of
thinks that the General Assembly, as soon as thew
convene (in january will, without hesitation,
second his own sentiments by repeating the obnox-
iOus statute. The Rhode Island Personal Liberty
act, In the opinion of legal men, is so constructed
as not to conflict directly with the provisions of the
constitutional Phdodeipdia american.
CHILLING NO MURDER."-On the evening of De-
cemoer2 20, large meeting was held in St. Law
renee Hall, Toronto, to express sympathy with the
fugitive slave Anderson, and of taking stems with
view to inducing the Government to prevent bis
being returned to his home. A Professor Wilson
presented the following resolution, which was read
and adopted unanimously
THAT believing slavery-a system which dooms
human beings to perpetual servitude, treats them
as yendible chate and places the dearest personal
rights and domestic ties even the very preropatiyes
OF conscience at the mercy of arbitrary power
TO be unscriptural and a violation of the fundamen-
tai principles of the law of nature this meeting
holds 1t to be unjust to apply the designation of
murder to such violence fugitive NAV find ne.

liberty"
MARRIAGE OF A DECEASED WTEs SrsrER-The
late respected Duke of Norfolk, when in the House
OF Commons voted in favor of legalizng marriage
with the sister Of deceased wife, and spoke in its
favor in the following terms:-''Seeing that it was
not against the law Of God, eeing the great social
evils which arose from the restriction, and believ-
ing that there comparison between the So
cial advantages and the social disadvantages arising
from this cause, he should give the measure his
cheerful assent" The late Baron Bunsen bore tes-
umOny before the bishop OF Lichtield, and the
other Royal Commissioners, to the frequency of
such marriages in Prussia, and to the desirable
consequences which we're admitted by the most en-
nent men IN that country to result from them. The
practice IS legal in this country but the general
sentiment OF society is against the connection.

much concerned by the appearance of new dis

extreme degree of debility that in a few hours the
animal is scarcely able to stand; soon DISCHARGE
OF greensh mucous matter through the nose is no.
ticed, and in the last stages the pulse is gone some
time before death ensues. In the cases that have
proved fatal, the animals die of extreme debility,
and such obstruction in the air cells of the lungs
as to render breathing impossible.

YACHrISG.-The splendid cup, so gallantly and
bravey won by the saucy little America, in the
English channel is still offered by the "New York
Yacht Club" as a trophy of competition to the
yachting marine world! Should we not ere long
hear response from over the broad Atlantic, sig
nifying that the blue jackets of the "ast anchored
isle, will, at least, make effort to regain the
cup, for the aquatic credit of Old England? We
sincerely hope so.-Spirit Of the Times.
CONSUMPTION OF TOBACCO IN FRANCE.-Some idea
may be formed of the immense consumption of to-
bacco in France from advertisement that the
