VERMONT CENTnM BoNDs. In the
financial summary of one of our cotem-
poraries we find the following item of
special interest to holders of these
bonds:-
A meeting was held on Friday Sep
tember 18th, in New York, Of the
Committee and Trustees Of the Yer
mont Central Mortgage Bonds, where
n basis OF an arrangement or com
promise was agreed upon. The back
coupons and interest upon LIST mort
gage, it was agre d 10 allow 80 per
cent or $l,0O0,000 making their
claim 100000 at Z per cent, and
the ID mortgage remaining 81 300
600 at 7 per cent. 1t was thought
that after 1867 the earnings of the
road would enable them to pay the
interest on the ID mortgage The
amount Of 100000, now required to
fully equip the rood, is to be furn-
ished equally by the two classes OF
bonds, payable in ten years, paying
s per cent. per annum. The specific
earnings of the new stock from Og-
densburg 20 Boston being appropri-
ated to the payment Of the interest
and sinking fund, which, it was es-
tilnated would retire the new bonds
in 7 years. A meeting of the first
mortgage bondholders will be called
on September both, to consider if they

Best Breed OF Cattle for Vermont.


In our last issue we gave a synopsis
Of discussion during the Vermont
Agricu tural Fair upon the question
whether it were expedient to allow the
race Of Morgan horses to become ex-
tinct Another discussion was suisse
qucntly had upon the question "what
is the best breed Of cattle for Yer
mont?' We subjoin brief epitome
Of tho debate upon that important
subject and commendi it to the thought
FIJI consideration Of our readers as
containing valuable suggestions:
The first speaker was Mr. D. Kim
ball, of North Clarendon. After re
marking upon the broadness of the
question, he stated his belief that the
Durham or Short Horn breed was the
best for general raising in the State,
not to speak of exceptions for some
particular localities Without going
into the science of breeding, the speak
en- contondcd that the superiority Of
Durbams lay in their largest growth,
and in the fact that they were the
most profitable to raise and most eager
" sought for in the market, both for
stock and beef, because they contain
less tallow and coarser meat than other
breeds. He could not say whether they
were equal to the Ayrshire for dairy
/ purposes, but if they were not, they
would still be the best breed general
/ " speaking, for the State. Mr. Kim
balls ideas We're given in homely
ofl-haud style, and commanded gen
eral attention
Mr. Sanford, of Orwell, followed
and while agreeing with Mr. Kimball
as to the value of crossing breeds, he
believed that the Devon cattle were
the best for the State. New England
could not compete with the West in
raising cattle, which required grain
for fatlening The Devons, by getting
fat IN the pastures, and thus cutting
their own feed. could be raised more
cheapy than Durhams. The speaker
believed also that the Doyons were
thc best milkers. In regard to tallow
he had always supposed that the best
lc came from cattle with the most
t1low, and if Devons had more than
Dmh uns then the meat Of the former
was best.
Nh Allen, Of Vergenncs, said the
Durham cattle appeared to be the best
for his section ut least the former
brought better prices there anc
thriycd equally well with the Devon
when the same feed was given. Dey-
ons in fact had almost entirely disap
pcared from his section of the State
Mr.. Allen appeared to have the audi
once with him in his opinion Of thc
superiority Of Durhams, and his re
marks were received with applause.
Mr. Hillman, Of st Albans, said 6
few words in favor of Ayrsbires, re
garding them as most profitable fol
the dairy, which was the best reli
ance for profit.
Hon john Gregory, of Mortified
defended the old native breed foi
their good dairy qualities, improved
by crossing with the short Horn Dur
ham. He regarded them rs the bes
cattle for the State The discussion
was further continued by A. d. Smith
of Dandy, who commended what hc
called the milk-pml breed of native
cattle, which gave the largest quaint
ty of milk and were therefore best foi
cheese makers. Remarks were made
by several other gentlemen before the
meeting adjourned.

consequence thereof, he broke one of his

wife and i've children in this city, depend
ent on him for support. They are of course
in destitute circumstances, and 1t is abso-

aid. Mr.. Winters is very worthy man.
He is endorsed by several prominent bank

Mr.. William G. Lurrell is endeavoring 70

citizens, when called upon, will be liberal

truly deserve and are in perishiug need of
