VERMONT CAyALRY.--The Burlington
Times publishes the following respecting the
disaster to the Vermont Cavalry Company;
"As we expected. the reported number Of
missing of the Cavalry Regiment has, by later
Adyices, been amazingly and gratfyingly de-
creased. A dispatch was received last evening
by Col. Plstt from his son, Capt Frank A..
Platt, Of Co. A, which states that his com
pany are all safe except ti0enty-nine, who are
still missing. More are expected in. The
Burlington, Wnooski and Grand Isle boys
were all safe with the exception of John Ho-
gan, Patrick Hogan, and Chas H. Blinn Of
this town, and ---- Spooner, whose name we
do not find on the published roll Of Co. A.
VINO CAN BEAT Ir.--Mr. w. K, Dean of
this town has bull which weighed the day it
was two years old, Tioo thousand one hundred
and ffty,fUe pounds. If he is not the largest
animal of the kind for his age in the state,
we are much mistaken. This is the same
animal who was exhibited at the State fair
last year, and failed TO take the premium only
because the judges would not believe bis true
age. Never mind that bull will have his
day yet Manchester ~ Joarndl
