to 70 pursued in the present. exigencies
OF public Tlirs and Of preserving the
honor and intrgrtv Of the country
The call is cN'l'' - "all Of Demo-
cratic faith who retain their respect Tor
the manhood and patriotism which AMI
mated the democratic party In the days
of Jackson; who will not consent that
the cherished name and principles OF
that party be disgraced; who cannot
endure the shame of seeing their coun-
try's flag lowered to tottering foe,
ever ready to trample II in the DUST
who deny that the American Democracy
was fairly represented at Chicago by
the few who, by threats of Northwest
ern revolt, forced upon the convention
the degrading concession that SHE scar,"
so nobly fought by our brave army and
navy, "gas failure, and that js'tice, ha-
,no,tty, liberty and the public welfare demand
Cd kat immediate e6orts BE- made for eessg-
H. Of hOstaities J" who believe that she
Il. neSiate cessation Of hostaities' should be-
gin with Southern traitors and not with
Nor hern patriots; who believe that we
should first exhaust the rebel armies be-
. fore we attempt ITO exhaust all the resources
Of craftsmanship :" who insist shat the
UaioR must be preserved at all hazard" and
are determined to preserve it whole and
entire at any sacrifice and against all
attacks from whatever quarter"
The call is signed by large number
OF the prominent and patriotic demo-
orats Of the country; by men whose
names cover infinitely more ability, in
tegrity and respectability than the whole
list of those who composed the Chi.
cago Convention and manage the odds
and ends known as the "peace-and-su
render democracy 1t is signed by
Gen. John A. Dix, Moses Taylor, Theo-
dore Roosevelt James Wadsworth, and
Others of New York city, and by demo-
Gratis of every, loyal State in the Union,
in behalf of their respective States and
organizations. The signers for Vermont
are Paul Dillingham;, Thomas Bartlett,
Levi Underwood, Charles Reed and R.
Richardson
The movement, it will be seen, is an
important one, and will doubtless exert
wide influence among the thousands
of the old democracy who were the salt
of the party and who embodied what
there was of answering patriotism and
devotion to country in it.

From Rebel Sources.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2,

NEW loRk, OGG. 10.
Richmond papers of the Goth had not
heard of Sheridan's victory of the 10th,
and indulge in congratulations, that that
memorable day brought forth nothing
this year to make it more memorable.
Wilmington papers state that one
hundred and nineteen deaths from yell
low fever had occurred at Newbern du-
ring twenty-four hours. They advise
Wilmington people to remove their fam
lilies from Wilmington for the present.
At Charleston the yellow fever is fear
fully increasing, and the mortality
among the children is terrible.
Late rebel papers contain much specu-
lation relative TO Sherman's and Hoods
movements, Their conclusion being
that Sherman win be compelled to either
fight Hood under disadvantages or &C
out of Atlanta and Georgia.

CAsTLEToN ITEMS. Mr. John James
raised from nine hills $3.50 pounds OF
squashes ia his garden the present season
He sold fourteen hundred pounds OF
them for $40. There were between sixty
and seventy in all, some Of them weigh
ing ninety pounds, and nearly all OF
them were ripe; making it all in all
quite profitable squash investment.
H. Q. Brown, Esq, has recently pro
cured pair of Chester County pigs
from Pennsylvania at an expense OF 500
They are said to be the best specimens
of the animal ever exhibited in this vi
cinity They were among the most at
tractive animals on exhibition at the
late Fair or the Western Vermont Agri-
cultural Association, and received the
first premium. Mr.. B. has small farm
and goes In for the proper cultivation of
that and for the improvement of stock.
He is also Of the firm of Adams and
Brown, engaged quite extensively in the
manufacture of slate pencils. They make
hundreds of thousands of them yearly
and send them in every direction thro'
the country. f..
Mr.. Alonzo Barker made sale of his
farm, containing some two hundred
acres with good slate quarry thereon,
situated about one mile south of Hyde
vile, to men from New York, for the
liberal sum Of thirty thousand dollars. A
few years since this farm was purchased
by Mr.. B. for a few thousand dollars,
since which time splendid dwelling
house has been built, costing some eight
or ten thousand dollars, with out-build-
ings to correspond. The slate quarry
was what sold the property at this time
for such a large amount. *#gtg
&C. S. Sherman, Esq, has purchased
the Medical College property, consisting
of the building and the fine grounds
around it which lie adjoining his dwell
ling and lot. 1t is now quite certain
that medical lectures will never be re-
sumed in this old, time honored institu-
ton, within whose walls more than two
thousand have had conferred on them
the degree of M. D., many of whom hold
professorships in medical institutions,
and more of whom are ranked among
the most skillful and celebrated physi-
clans in the land.
The snm'rerv g filled to overflow
ing with scholars, mostly young ladies
from this and other States, and still they
come. B. w. B.

A aWHIRLwINpn CHURE has been on
exhibition at the Central House in this
village for few days, which we would
advise all farmers and dairymen to ex-
anime. It's distinguishing peculiarities
are, LIST "dasher," whose arms arranged
spirally around the axis work the cream
or milk in one direction, and I'd, u sim
pie apparatus by which a current Of
fresh air is constantly forced in an OPP
posite direction through the cream
while so worked. The dasher breaks
the butter globules or sacs and the
| fresh air at once stiffens their contents,
and the butter is Immediately made
The construction of the churn is very
simple, with no metallic substances ia-
side, and it is cheap and apparently very
durable, ~
We saw it practically tested at the
Central House last evening. 1t made
| good butter from cream in one minute and
a half of churning, and from sweet milk
in from four to five minutes. When the
butter is made from the milk directly,
the milk remaining, it is claimed, may
be again used for the manufacture of
cheese, giving two products from the
same milk.
Our farmers will at once see that if
there is no mistake about this, a revolu-
ton in butter-making will be at once
effected. They are therefore all interest
ed in examining and testing it for them
selves. Another opportunity will be af-
aforded them to do SO this evening, at
the Central House, when those exhibit
ing it will churn butter from cream and
milk, explain the principles of the churn
and submit it to the examination of all
interested. ........ -.-..
The churn was invented by Dr. Amos
Westcott Of Syracuse, N. Y, and is called
Westcotts Churn and Butter Worker.

sOng.-The Drunkard's Child.
A1R-The Vatcher.

A little child stood moaning
In the hour ofemidnight lone,
And no human ear was list ming r.
To the feeby wailng tone.
The cold keen blast of winter,
With funeral wall, swept by,
And the binding SHOWS fell darklY
Through the murky winter sky.
All desOlate and wretched
Was the drunkard's Outcast child,
Driven forth amidst the horrors
OF that night of tempest wild;
The>babe so fondly cherished
Once&neath parents eye,
Now laid her down in anguish
Midst the drifting SHOWS to die
" Papa. papa p' she murmured,
"The night is cold and DIRE ar,
And I'm freezing, o, Pm freezing
In the storm and darkness here.
My naked feet are stiHening,
And my little hands grow numb,
Papa, can not come TO thee,
And warm myself at home "
"Mamma mamma p more wildly,
The little sufferer cried,
Forgetting in her anguish,
How her stricken mother died -
"Oh take me to your bosom,
And warm me on your breast,
Then Law me down and kiss me
In my little bed to rest!'
Poor child! the sleep that gathers
Thy stifened eyelids DER,
Shall know no cary waking
To a life of suffering more.
Sleep on the SHOWS may gather
O'er thy cold and pulseless form,
Thou art resting, calmly resting
In the wild, dark midnight storm

Never Trouble Trouble.

Oh, what's the use of fretting
At imaginary things,
Despair not at mere trifies,
See what the morrow bringa.
Look boldly up-push forward,
'Tis the only way to do;
And never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
Then tits vain thus to be worrying
And signing all your life;
Fear kills our noblest prospects
And checks us in the strife.
Drive these dark forebodings hence;
Gain hope and strength anew,
But never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
Should black portentous clouds
Shoot athwart the sky,
The sun, though hid little while,
Will shine brightly by and bye.
Seek not for care or sorrow,
Be happy, pleasant, too,
But never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
