4 MARVELLOUS INCIDENT.

In the course Of our reading we remember
to have met with few cases where, at the
moment Of death, vision of the dead has APP
peared to friends at great distance from the
place Of death, as if to give notice of the
event; but these instances were in Europe,
and occurred long time ago, SO one might
doubt their authenticity, or at least be ex-
cused for not accepting them as verties,
and all the more since nothing of the kind
was ever heard of in his own region We
have now case which is free from these
objections, and is quite as extraordinary
as any that have been recorded. A friend
(whose name we do not give, simply because
we did not happen to ask his authority for
publications. recently called on us, who has
lost son in the army, an officer of good
promise serving under Gen. Banks. We al
llded to the great loss of our friend, and in
conversation upon that subject, he said very
remarkable thing had happened to him in
connection with it. When he had no reason
to doubt the well-being of his son, and had
no anxiety for him beyond what was usual,
and was sleeping calmly, he was suddenly
awakened by a shock as il be had been shot
through the head. His first thought was that
he had been shot, or, to use his own express
sion, this is death" But the next instant
vision of bis son appeared to him, and the
impression was that his son and not himself

At Sabbath School concert, held on the
eve Of jan Sd, in the school house near the
head Of the pond in Berlin, we're assembled a
crowded house, paying marked attention to
the various exercises Of the school, as they
came off in their respective order. The ex-
ercises of the school being nearly closed, an
opportunity was offered by Mr.. Andrews, the
superintendent, for remarks il any one had
anything to say. Warren Covill Immediately
came forward and very ably addressed the
audience with remarks appropriate for the oe-
casion, and in conclusion turned to the Su-
perintendent of said school, addressing him
in behalf of the school with expressions of
sympathy and love for his earnest labors with
them for the last Ave years, offering him many
thanks for his services with them, and as
token Of respect, much to Mr.. AS surprise,
Mr.. Covill, in Be half of the school, presented
him with a beautiful twelve dollar Bible. So
unexpected was the presental of this noble
book to the Superintendent that he was some
what overcome, but sery soon expressed him
self as one of the most thankful for so unmer-
tied favor, assuring them that he fully APP
preciated the gift, and with warmest and
heartfelt thanks be concluded his remarks
with many good wishes for their spiritual
prosperity. The meeting was chen closed with
the Doxology, Praise God from whom all
blessings low," after which was enjoyed
many smiling faces over the complete success
of their surprise.
We admire these strong attachments that
bind Superintendent, Teacher and Scholars
together, and when these ties that bind us
here on earth are severed, may it be but an
opening of brighteF glory, where we shall
be united with our great Teacher and enjoy
Him who said because live, ye shall live
also"

No one out Of the army can form any idea
of the zeal for re-enlistmeht which the SOL
diers display. The glory of remaining in un-
Ill the war closes prompts tkem, rather than
the inducements Of II furlough or large boun-
ties. Thousands who have no expectation of
going home on furlough have signifed their
intention to renter the service when their
present term expires. The motives which
animate them are pride and patriotism.

PRESIDENTIAL.


Remarking upon the nomination Of Presi-
dent Lincoln for recollection by the New
Hampshire convention, the Springfield Mass
achusetts, not lllinois,) Republican says that
events may possibly turn attention to some
other man before the time for action comes.
but that at this moment no other possible Re
publican candidate mentioned has as many
and great elements Of popular strength, and
no other is so certain to carry tho whole of
the Republican party, or so likely to draw
support from patriotic men in the opposition
The general conviction that Mr. Lincoln lie
prudent and safe and the facts that he belongs
to no faction, radical or conservative, and aims
to do only what is honest and right, the Re-
publican thinks has already secured the pop
ular conviction that he is to be his own sue
cessor. We doubt any" popular conviction
to that effect yet but we do not doubt that
the President has a strong hold upon the con-
fdence and the affections of the people. His
honesty, patriotism, independence, shrewd-
ness, good sense and good heart, all are APP
preciated ana moreover there is lurking in
the minds of many men the thought illustrated
by Mr.. Lincoln himself when he sale -" it is
no time to swap horses when you are swim
ming a river" Nevertheless we think the
people are in no haste to make President,
and will go in zealously for whomsoever
will quickest rescue the country from rebel
lion and war, and plant it on the firm founda-
tons Of Liberty and Peace That is what the
people want; and they want the man who can
do it. Five or six months hence will put the
question in a shape for decision; and if in
that time President Lincoln comes up to pub
lie expectation, he will stand capital chance
for reelection.

THE MARKETS OF 1868 '64, IN CON
NECTION WITH AGRICULTURE

Mr.. Editor Let us glance for moment
at the markets OF the past year and the pros
pect of the coming year taken in connection
with the agricultural interest of Vermont
Never before did the farmer realize such
prices for his products Beef, from March to
June was much higher than for many years
before, retailing as high as 9 cts. Butter,
later in the season, from rs TO 80 cts, oats
IS, hemlock bark 5000, corn oil ,25 to 81 so.
wool rs cts, higher than for many years be-
fore, wood, without limit to price. Now. Mr..
Editor, with such prices as those, cannot tho
farming community prosper, and when they
are prospecting every other branch of business
must be equally good, and the country must
necessarily feel the effects of the springing up
of trade. Therefore, for the good of all fos-
ter the Agriculturist say l.
The farming interest pays the least taxes of
any, paying nothing on their productions,
while every other interest pays heavy. The
man that buys their pork, pays taxes for sell
ing it, while they who sold it pay nothing
and with thu present high prices for pork.
they must be pretty well paid for fattening.
was recently told by farmer that he sold
his pork for 10 cts, and thought he could
have got more if he had held it for awhile lon
ger, which do not doubt, nor should be
I
surprised to see pork go up to II l-2 cts. per
pound. mainly on account of the short crop of
corn West, which is estimated at l25, 900, 900
less than an average crop, and what was left
was injured by frost, which will prevent it's
fattening pork, but will not prevent lis sell
ing for feed
The statistics show that there has not been
as much pork received in Boston, as there
was last year into 9473 barrels, and de-
crease in lard of 1891 packages. This, to-
gether with the short supply of pork at home.
aud the new rise in ireights, cannot help ma
king it much higher than for many years be-
fore. So farmers, look to your interests and
boys stick to the farm, instead of going to
the city. Prices must rule high for sometime
to CONF, and farming is destined to become
the most profitable business going.
