The remains of Rev. Calvin Pease, u. d.,
have been removed from Burlington for inter-
ment in Rochester.
The Rochester Democrat Of April % said:
1t is a source Of qualification to the many
friends of DR.. Pease in this city. that his re .
mains are to rest in our beautiful cemetery.
No minister in so brief time ever won the
affection and esteem u the community more
completely than did DIR. Pease. There are
young men in our midst who will bless the
day that made him resident of Rochester I;
and we shall all, while lAmenting his untime-
ly end, be grateful that he was permitted to
do so much for us. His work in this city
was short but it was faithfully done. His
superior intellectual characteristics, his large
ness of heart, courteous address, and fascinat-
ing social qualities, his noble bearing as a
true, devoted Christian gentleman and patriot,
will never be forgotten b. those among whom
he labored, and who were so fortunate as to
have his acquaintance. II is fitting that his
last resting place should be in our city-the
place where his family resides, the place for
which he had done so much, in which he had
so many warm admirers, and which was the
scene of the closing labors Of his eminently
useful and beautiful life.

The wool buyers say that most OF the Yer
mont farmers retainer their clips when they
found that they could get rs cents. and re-
fused to sell, hoping to get more. and now
they cannot get that and must lose, as Yer
mont wool is refused by the manufacturers,
on account of the large per centage of waste.
The Spanish Merino, which is the favorite
breed of the Vermonters, Gil their wool with
gluten, which makes the ileeces so heavy that
manufacturers cannot afford to buy it, The
Connecticut and western wool consequently
takes precedence.-sp Tii'gfetd Republican.

The YoUrH's HIsrOnr OF THE REBELLION

The YoUTH's HIsToRY OF THE REBELLION.
By VIM. NJ. Thayer. Boston, Walker,
Wise q Co.
This elegant volume, of BAT pages, gives a
history of the rebellion from the lombard
ment Of Fort Sumter to the capture Of Roam
oke Island, in an attractive style and with
accuracy sufficient to satisfy readers of ripper
years than those for whom the book was
specially designed. The plan embraces not
only an account of the rebellion, and the war
that ensued, but gives the occasion Of it in
slavery, and starts the little folks with SEN
timent for freedom that will have its inhu-
ence through life. We commend the book
most heartily. 1t is to be had at BAllou,
Loveland & Co.'S bookstore.

Ia BY bare allusion to the fact that the

Gen. BANKS has ordered various things in his
department, we have provoked a petulant
hint tina, we had better answer the question.
II the editor of the Freeman will go back to
the study of the law for short time we
think be may answer it himself. Not being
of the bar, we will not say authoritatively
that in a conquered country the conqueror is
the aw-giver until civil authority can be re-
stored or, in other words that military au-
thority is supreme,-but so we have read
In this case, Banks is by the laws Of the
United States responsible only to the Presi-
dent and the President, we presume, has
accorded to him all the powers warranted by
public law.

THx American CoSrLIor A History

The AMERICAN CONFLICT A History
the Great Rebellion, its causes, incidents,
and results intended to exhibit especially
lite moral and political phases, with the
drift and progress Of American opinion
respecting human slavery. By Horace
Greeley. Hartford, Conn, o. d. Case
a. Co.
The execution Of such design could not
have been committed to better hands. The
familiarity of Mr.. Greeley with the politics OF
slavery, and his talents as an editor, warrant
the expectation of a work thoroughly fortified
by documentary evidence and ably done. We
have examined specimen sheets, to the num-
Der of two hundred and seventy -four pages,
with great satisfaction with Mr.. Greeley's
work, and admiration Of the elegant style OF
the illustrations and printing. This work
should command the favor of the public.
