The Vermont Reform school.

The friends of humanity. religion and good
order can not but be gratifed, that the aet
was passed for the establishment Of a Yer
mont Reform School. The feeling has been
earnest for many years, that it was great
wrong to subject, as has been done, very
young persons-oftimes those not old enough
to have acquired any fixed principles of self
restraint, and whose childhood had suffered
from peglect-on their first conviction of
criminal conduct, to the disastrous iufu-
erces OF a confinement in the State Prison or
County jai! In this way many who under
a different treatment could have been saved
to become honest and useful members OF So
ciety, have sunk down corrupted by adult
and wicked associates of the prison house, to
irretrieysbe disgrace and ruin. This wrong
is no longer 10 continue. The act 10 esta-
bllsh tie Vermont Reform School seems well
devised to accomplish its Object; and the
Board of Commissioners appointed under 1t
by the Governor will unquestiOnably do all
IN their power to carry out the intentions Of
the act judiciously. They are Rev AARON
q. PEAsE Of Norwich, Rev. L. A. Dunn 1f
Fairfax, and LEWIS PRATT Esq of Wood
stock Rev. AARON G. PEAsE, who as chair
man Of the Legislative Committee to whom
the subject was referred, gave great labor
aud care to the draft and perfection OF the
hill, WAS iittingly appointed the ActinsCom-
missioner he is warm hearted, intelli-
gent and accomplished gentleman and scho-
.r. All that care, parental in it's spirit, ap-

some time for the board to perfect the neces-
sary arrangements. before the school -can 60

follows
South Carolina, Nov.

Twenty-Five in all. California Legislature
meets in December, and its legislature will
unquestionably ratify it. New Jersey Leg
islature meets in January, and will do the
same. That will complete the required
number. Oregon Legislature meets only
once in two years, and the next annual ses-
sion is in Sept. 1866. OF course when it
does meet, it will ratify the amendment; and
from present appearances. it will also be
ratified by some. if not all, of the States late
in rebellion. As far as any future human
event can be put down as certain. we may
put down as such the adoption of that great
amendment to the United States Constitution.
The day when that takesplace will be great
day in the history of the world.

MEXICAN News.

The news from Mexico is conflicting as
usual. The Mexican Iapers by the Manhat-
tan had rumors that Juarez was m Texas.
that the Republicans had been attacked near
Matamoras, and that among the prisoners
were three soldiers in United States uniforms,
who were to be tried BY court martial, and
doubtless would be shot, The New York
Herolds city of Mexico correspondent says
that the Mexican General Palaivez had or
dered all French, Austrian and Belgian pris-
oners held by him, to be shot, in retaliation
for like acts of the lmperialist Generals Ju-
arez's forces are also reported as so much in
creased, that Marshal BazIne has order,d
chihuahua to be abandoned
There is a further batch of reports afir-
mstOry and contradictory of what came two
days ago. Quite likely the next reports will
contradict these last

1t is reported that several members of the
Legislature were neatly yictimized by the
" Southern Lady" whom we advertised
fortnight ago. The Record says some Of
the senators subscribed literally, while the
Speaker of the House presented her ease, and
appointed the Clerk to receive aid for the dcs-
tItute widow. Their chagrIn. when they
learned the true character of the recipient Of
their iavoTs, may be imagined.

THE LAST SEssIoN.-Tne late session
OF the Vermont Legislature was shorter
than that OF any other Legislature for
nearly twenty years past 1t lasted only
thirty days, while the average length of the
sessions since 1916, has been five full weeks.
1t is seldom that the yeas and nays are call
ed less than thirty times at a sefsion, and in
the famous Democratic session in 1853, they
were called no less than ninety times but
the sum total in the House this year, is only
nine.

The Grand Lis; of Vermont.

We find in Wslton's Journal the figures
for the Grand List of 1865. which WAS not
completed till The zorning of the adjourn
ment Of the Legislature, and was consequent
ly not made known officially. They are
as follows
Polls, taxed at So, No. 81 ,9l6, amt sl2S, So
Dogs taxed. No. lO. O.447, amt. lO.447
Acres taxable, No.. .00l ,2i3. value, Sl7 ,1O5 065

tiOns, 306 90

Acres, No 5000. .94l. value, e9,929 .2l5
Personal property, value, lS,045,s73
List for State taxes, Sl,0l3, 500 IS
These figures show a decrease in the num-
Der of polls of 326.-a decrease in the num-
Der OF dogs of 81 an increase in the num-
Der OF taxable acres of 800; and an increase
in the value of the same of Sl.2l7 co. an
increase in the personal property of 81 ,2l7.-
co., and an increase on the list for State
taxes of S23, 500 Il. The Journal remark.
on these items
''The quinquennial appraisal of real estate
was made this year, so that. in comparing the
real estate taxed in 1864 snd 1865, we have re
ally the difference in valuations between 1860
and 1865; whereas. on the personal property We
have the difference between 1864 and 1865.
Remembering tie large amount Of money In
vested in U. S. securities during the year, and
exempt from taxation, the increase in a single
year, Of nearly a million and quarter Of dol
lars, is very satisfactory. Vermont csn surely
pay her debt sDdinterest without suffering much.
The showing Of an increase of real estate in fye
years, less than that oi personal property in one
year, is not so satisfactory. Indeed, many towns
return a less number Of taxable acres than in
1860. We do not know how to account for that
fact without imputing to somebody great mis-
take, so we will not try to account for it; we
only state the facts
The 60 per cent. tax voted for the support
of the State Government, will place in the
Treasury s622, ,59e O3, which will pay the
estimated expenses Of the year( SAT- ,9l3 96)
and allow the Treasurer to carry Sl54,6S6
to the Sinking fund for the payment of the
State bonds due in 1871.

"Sacra AurI Fames.-

A most remarkable instance of the greed
of gold, and effect of great riches on ITS pos
SCISSOR, is shown by the great Ilowland will
case which Is to be tried before the Supreme
Court at New Bedford, Mass, at the present
November term. The facts have been fully
made public by the proceedings before the
Probate Courts IN that city, and are as fol-
lows
! The immense fortune accumulated by Gid
con Howland in New Bedford, was left by
him on his death, in 1850, to his two daugh-
ters, Abby, the wife Of Mr.. Edward Mott
Robinson, and Miss Sylvia Ann Iowland.-
Mrs. Robinson died. leaving an only daugh-
ter, Miss Hetty Robinson, who, on the death
of her other parent. year ago. came into
possession OF property estimated at FIRE
millions. In July last, Miss Sylvia Rowland
died, leaving property Of between two aud
three millions. OF this, she gave by her
will, Sl,0l2,000 to various charitable OBJ
jects, and the remaining million and half
or two millions, to her neice, Miss Hetty.-
Tbs Young lady thus became, perhaps the
wealthiest heiress in the country, enjoying
the income from an undisputed property OF
some serea millions of dollars. She had been
on good terms with her aunt, and had, IN
fact, resided with her for several years before
bcr death. 1t seems incredible, but it Is
nevertheless true, that Miss Robinson is now
trying to break her duHt's i1W in order that
she may have the rhOle instead Of two-thirds
OF her property. She, the owner Of sevas
millions, is before the Courts to ask that the
Orphan Asylum, Sailors Home, Home for
poor, aged and infirm females, and other |
charities, with the relatives in moderate cir
cumstances, and friends VINO had been kind /
10 Miss Howland in her life, and who were /
remembered in her will, shall be deprived OF |
the bequests made to them by Miss How
land, in sound mind and of deliberate pur-
pose. in order thst the money taken from
them may be added TO her pile. 1t is said
the reason Miss Robinson gives for this as-
tonishing course, is an assertion that 1t was
agreed between her and her aunt, tha each
should make her will in the others favor -
On the strength of which agreement. she
now claims the whole estate.
If there is a parallel case to this on record,
we have never heard Of it

quence on the stump, contributed 70

gold. These gallant fighters and good
