GOV. HoLBRooK's MESSAGE.
GentLemen of lie Senate

Gentlemen Of the Senate
and House of Representatives.
It was a great disappointment to me
to be disabled by sickness from entering
upon my official duties at the opening OF
the session OF the Legislature. Rising
so recently from an attack of illness,
without the opportunity or physical
strength TO investigate to any considera-
bic extent the public requirements of
the State, can not make this communi-
cation so practical in detail, or complete
in statement, as might perhaps under
other circumstances lave been realized.
The deficiency, however, is of little con-
sequence, inasmuch as Vermonters are
proverbial for the good management Of
their public affairs, and quick sense of
the propreties of things in all public
transactions.
The returning autumnal session has
again brought together the General As
sembly TO consult for the public welfare,
and enact laws to promote the same.
Looking abroad over the State, We OBJ
serve that the bountics of Providence
have been most generously dispensed,
and are surrounded with the evidences
of plenty in mart, in field, flock and herd :;
that the people have prospered in their
undertaking. Of industry, that we have
been exempt from pestilence or the
ravages of wasting sickness, and that the
domestic security of society has been
undisturbed. For these and other bles-
sings, our public Acknowledgements are
eminently due, and should be gratefully
expressed, to the great Lawgiver of the
Universe.
The inhabitants of Vermont have
doubtless preserved as much of our ear
ly American character, and of the sim
plicity and purity of free institutions as
those OF any State. They are nowheres
excelled for the blessings of just and
equal laws, by general intelligence well
administered, and for remarkably equal
distribution of property, accompanied by
that frugality and thrift which ensures
comfortable homes and substantial indie.
pendence to a large proportion of the
population. Our somewhat stubborn,
but strong and retentve soil, our bracing
climate, and the necessity which nature
here imposes for Industrious, persistent
labor, combine to train people capable
of much physical endurance, and OF he
roic and manly deeds and the influences
of climate, of mountain scenery, and the
aspects Of physical nature generally,
stimulate the imagination, refine the SEN
sibilities and exalt the mind. "Freedom |
and unity is their motto, and they drink
in the spirit Of liberty with the air they
breathe.

WITHOUT AN EQUAL.

LNROM the constantly increasing demand for
h this beautiful instrument, and the numer-
Gus testimonials we are almost daily receiving
of its superiority, and from the fact that during
the past few years It has been invariably award
ed the first prize ut all the principal fairs,
confident that no musical instrument in the
country is meeting with such universal favor.
Our Patent Harmonic attachment is the most
valuable Improvement ever made on the Melo-
deon With it the power of the instrument is
doubled, without increasing its size or the num-
Der of reeds. For paror use it has no equal, as
the softcst passages of music may be performed
nnnn II with the nlmnst lnlicnCN.

OUR HARMONIC ORGAN.

This isthe most desirable instrument for church

LIST. 1t comes at a much lower price, consd-
ering what it is capable of doing.
ID. 1t is far more simple in construction, and
therefore less Liable to get out OF order.
Sd. 1t contains only half rs many reeds as
other instruments of the same power, and con-
sequently not half the expense 10 keep It in
tune.
4th. 1t is much more easily managed by the
player, being less complicated in the arrange
mens Of stops, &c.
1t may he bluwed by the player or with a lev
cr by another person
The Harmonic Organ has also fine, powerful
Pedal Base, with reeds entirely disconnected
from the other part Of the instrument. Making
altogether an instrument of nearly as much
power as a thousand dollar Pipe Organ.

THE HART, OR PIANO ATTACHMENT

Is another new and desirable improvement re-
Gently patented, and meets precisely the real
wants of those haltng between two opinions,
whether to purchase Piano or Melodeon. By
this arrangement the Piano and MelOdeOn are
combined, producing most beautiful effect; or
either may be played separately, at will, and yet
the Melodeon size is retained.
With these Attachments, together with our
Patent Base Damper, we are producing an instru-
ment that deties competition.

Scrofhla. or King's EYil

oCEOlula, OF KING s EVIL,
Is a constitutional disease, corruption Of N,
blood, BY which this fluid becomes yitia,eu,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, i
pervadcs the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on any part Of Il. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor IL there one which Il rnny
not destroy. The scrofuious taint is variouslv
caused BY mcrcurial diseose, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, iilth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vcncrenl injection. What-
ever be It's origin, Il Is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation /" indeed,
IL seems TO be the rod Of Him who says, Z" I
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcCrOus matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tuberclesi in the glands, swellings; and ON
the surface, cruptiOns or sores. This foul c~r-
rnpuon, which gcndcrs in the blood, deprcst
the energies Of lie, so that scrofious constitu-
items not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants but they have fhr less power to With
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint In tho
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has is origin directly
IN this scrohilous contamination; and many
destructive diseases Of The liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated By the same cause.
One quartor Of all our people are scroftilous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined BY Il.
To cleanse Il from the system We must renovato
the blood BY an Alternative medicine, and in-
vigorate Il by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

The Return of Reason.

The Mayor and Police Commissioners
on Saturday granted permission to thu
American telegraph company to connect
their broken wires and resume communi-
cation with Philadelphia and the Norih.-
We hail this movement as an evidence of
wiser COUNCILS than have governed our city
during the past len days, and hope that it
is but :he commencement of the undoing of
much that has been done, and the rescind-
ing of policy that has brought our COM
munity 10 the verge OF bankruptcy and dis
grace. The destruction of bridges and the
open war committed against the General
Government have not met the sanction or
approval of any considerable portion of
those most deeply interested in the future
of Baltimore The real sentiment of the
community has been overwhelmed by the
array of an armed power coming upon US
with such appalling suddenness as TO es-
iablish reign of terror worthy rather or
Austria than of a free and Christian people.
The resumption OF tclegraphic operations
is yet under restraint that we hope will
be promptly removed. Any attempt TO ex-
ercise surveillance over dispatches we
apprehend 10 be sn act OF open hostility
and war, and in the name of the people of
Baltimore, we most earnestly protest against
the assumption of such power. 1t is n.
effect voting the State out of the Union
without going through any of the ordinary
formalities that have preceded such an act
in the Gulf States. We profess TO De law
abiding community, and utterly deny and
repndiate the assumption of illegal powers
by those whose duty il is to enforce and see
that the laws are properly execuied.-Bah.

Feeding Horses-a trmmen Mistake.

The Southern Homestead says that, "Ihs
practice OF regulating the food OF horses by
.he amount of work they are .squired TO
perform, is a good one il propsai iy followed
For example, horse when lying compare
lively idle, as in winter, should have less
solid food than amid the hard work of spring
and summer. Again, il horse is about TO
perform a work of extra labor, i: is well TO
fortify him with little extra feeding before
hand. But the mistake we refer TO is the
Practice of over feeding him an hour or so
before putting him 10 work. If an extra
service is required of horse OIL any partic-
nlaE day extra feed is 10 be given HIM, let
him have it The evening beforehand, rather
than in the morning, an hour or two before
being put TO work. Why SO Because if
he is put TO work so soon after eating, his
food does not become digested, and he is
obliged 10 carry about with him large
mass of undigested fodder, which is rather
burden than help TO him. If he is we'll
fed The evening before, the food is simulated
changed 10 aesh and blood-and sends
health and vigor through all the system
As general rule, working horse should
be fed regularly, both as TO the time and
the amount.

Things that are Foolish

great many foolish things are said and
done in the world, among which an uh-
known writer classes The following
For young man 10 think that he does
himself credit by hanging round stores ard
taverns, smoking bad cigars, and paying
tor whiskey and oysters. in order TO be call
ed "liberal," by clique of youths as soft
in the brain as himself.
For lady 10 be annoyed because gentle
men do not always give her the best half of
the street and the incest seat in the public
assembly. She should moi forget that these
conventional courtesies are no: her right
any farther than they choose TO concede
them.
For an unhedged clerk 10 think that he
must buy exravagant gloves and cravats
for every festive occasion, because Jonas,
whose father is worth thirty thousand dol
lars does so. The best way OF proving his
manhood would be TO leave such things
entirely alone.
For girl to stay away from a party be-
cause she has worn all her dresses and
cant have new one. Isn't it something
KIN 10 self-conceit for her 10 imagine that
people have nothing to do but 10 think
abont her and her dresses.
For man 10 be extra fastidons abont
colognes, diamond finger ring, and scented
pocket handkerchiels, and then set society
et defiane with his cigar case and tobacco
box.
For girl 10 think that she is establishing
her character as a young lady of fashion,
by allowing her mother 10 toll through all
the drodgery OF the house, and the invest
ing her money in gaudy breaches and arli-
fciaI flowers.
For man TO suppose himself geute-
man because he touches his hat TO a party
of splendidly dressed young ladies', while
he scorns to lend helping hand TO the old
woman struggling across the street.
For simple working girl 10 buy imiia-
tion jewelry, because her wealthyI neigh
Dor spends a small fortune in the real.
For an eldery young lady TO think she
renews her bloom by dressing in the style
OF sixteen. with pink roses in her bonnet
and ermine roses on her cheeks.
For an old batcheIor TO attempt TO darn
his own stockings without good stock oil
patience, or to venture where there are a
dozen pretty girls.

The Worth Of a Soul.

When we endeavoI TO estimate The worth
OF an immortal soul we are utterly lost in
the attempt. The art of spiritual compnta-
ton is not governed BY The same principles
and rule which guide our specula,ions con
cerning earthly objects. The value OF gold
silver, Merchandise, food. raiment, land.
and houses is easily regulated by custom
convenience, or necessity. Even the more
capricious and imaginary worth of a pic.
lure, medal, or statue, may be reduced to
systematic rule. Crowns and scepters have
had their adjudged valuation, and king
'doms have been bought aud sold for sums
of money. But who can fix The adequate
price 10 a human soull "What will it
profit man if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soni2 or what shall a man
gain in exchange for his own soul
The principles of ordinary arithmetic all
fail here, and We are constrained 10 say
that He alone who paid the ransom for sin.
ners, and made the souls OF men His pur-
chased possession, can comprehend and
solve. the arduous question. They are in.
deed bought with price but are not re-
deemed with corruptble things, as silver
and gold, but with the precious blood of
Christ as of a lamb without blemish and
without spot. We shall only ascertain the
value of soul when we shall be fully able
10 estimate the worth of Saviour.
