Of. Two years ago he received variety of
seed ON the Agricultural Bureau at Wash

one oat, which sttracted his attention because
Of its large size aud weight. This cat he
planted, and that one seed yielded that year
27s5 grains, the same growing on 8 stalks.
He let others have 745 Of these grains, and
last spring planted 20i0 Of them himself,
putting the seed into drills 4 inches wide and
6 inches apart. The corp he reaped measur-
ed 2 bushels and psoks, besides reserving
about quarts in he heads on the stalks for
show, the stalks from seed this year being
from 9 to l5 with 3l4 grains on stalk
And these oats excel in weight as they do N
quantity of yield, bushel by measure weigh
log As l.2 pounds, or more than half more
than the legal weight Of oats, which is 80
pounds
Grati6ed with his success, as he had good
right to be, Mr.. Ramsdell took his oats to tn

interest, and where he sold S25 worth o.

THE STATE REFORM SCHOOL.


Last Monday evening it was announced to
the citizens Of Waterbury that the commits
sioners, the Rev. Aaron q. Pease, Rev. l..
A. Dunn, and Lewis Pratt, would be pleased
to meet them at the hotel, to inquire into the
facii les for the establishment Of the Reform
School at this place. SO short a notice could
reach but very few, as the greater part Of the
community had already taken to their several
ways for the evening"" their merchandise,
their wives or their oxen"--but happily for
the interest Of both the committee and the
community, the enterprising portion Of the
village we're represented in literary society
called Z" The Everett Club" which was at
that time holding its regular meeting As
the club were about to engage in the discus
sion Of the questions presented by the late
rebellion, Mr.. Henry gave the notice that
the commissioners we're waiting to confer with
the people upon this subject Of the Reform
School, and proposed that the society adj ourn
to Mr.. Keelers hotel to discuss matters that
came nearer home. Accordingly the Everett
Club adjourned to the reading room Of the
hotel, where four or FIVE citizens with the
committee were waiting to receive them. The
Rev. G. G. Parker was called to the chair,
and c. N. Arms appointed Secretary after

were looking for proper place to locate the
Reform School. They did not wish to have
it in very large place, neither did they pro-
pose to set it in very small place not in
the midst of society, nor entirely away from
society. They did not wish for site in the
center Of a village, nor in the suburbs, but a
little beyond the suburbs. just outside Of a
medium sized place.
They wanted farm place where the
boys could work upon the soil and cultivate
corn and potatoes a farm that could be di-
vlded into separate parcels, each having set
of buildings that would accommodate forty Of
the refractory Juveniles, where they could
have an overseer, schoomaster. and cook,
4 who would zee that they had certain hours
to eat, sleep, study, play, and hoe. Was
such place to be found in Waterbury, and

Smith. All parties met again on Tuesday
evening, when it appeared tina. the farm of

suitable for such a school. And should the

ATTEMPTED FRAUD ON SOLDIERS.

ATTEMPTED FRAUD ON SOLDIERS.
Mr.. WALToN.-SU: Feeling anxious to
protect our Vermont soldiers, who have 80
nobly sustained the reputation of the State,
against all fraud and imposition, | wrote a
letter to Mr.. French, "a Auditor, m ,king in
quiries relative to printed letters sent ou, in
large numbers by Daniels IL Sherwood, Claim
Agents in Washington d. G. to soldiers,
representing that they could get an addition
al bounty for those who enlisted in 1861 and
1862, and have received an answer Of the fol-
lowing tenor:
" Dear Sit.-Yours Of the 2lst is received.
The Circulars sent out by Daniels & Sher-
wood, are of.a similar character with those
issued by others. There seems to be sim
ultaneous movement to obtain possession OF
soldiers discharges, and the falsehoods prac-
iiced give a right to infer intended fraud.
No law exists, authorizing extra bounty
from two to three hundred dollars for soldiers
who enlisted in 1861 and 1852" Consequent
ly neither this firm, or any other, are engaged
in the collection Of it."
| hope the Editors Of every paper will give
timely notice to our brave soldiers, and pro-
tect them against such base fraud.
Yours, o. Il. SMITH.

VERMONT SHEEP. - A correspondent Of
perb Merino 6ocks Of F. l.. Upham of w cath
ersheld, and therein announces the following
as the true policy Of Vermont sheep raisers:
"New England cannot compete with the
cheap and luxuriant lands Of the West in
raising wool, but il is found that the sheep OF
the West deterorate with immense rapidity,
and Aocks can only be kept good by continu-
al and large purchases from the East. Hence
the shrewder farmers are acting upon this
principle: The improved Nerino gr0to noighsre
IN The Dorld in such perfection Os IN NetD Eng
land, and the East is sesd-ground for this am.
nal for The rest of The tporld. That is the true
doctrine. At Windsor we saw gentleman
who had just sent flock Of 100 to Ohio at
large prices and upon further inquiry, we
learned that into every State Of the Union, TO
the South, as well as West, TO the new terri
tories, TO Australia, and to the Old World,
Vermont was sending with big returns OF
gold, her world-iamons Merinos. To do this
she must produce great crops OF wool, but
her greatest profit comes from the sales Of
her surplus animals TO stock the deteriorated
sheep OF other latitudes. When Merino
buck lambs will bring from S25 to $1,000
each, and ewes in proportion when they are
ak months old, is there any question which
is best for farmers to do, who have the hight
lands and proper information; 1t is Of but
little consequence 10 them what is said Of
other breeds, and how much is said against
their own, SO long as buyers are eager to
purchase at almost fabulous prices.-N b.
Farmer.

The summary Of the crops of 1865, publish
ed by the Department Of Agriculture, presents
several interesting features. The wheat crop
is very deficient both in quantity and quality.
the decrease in quantity alone from 1864, be-
log estimated at u. .l72 ,944 bushels. On the
other hand, the corn crop was never surPass-
ed in any respect. In quantity alone the ex-
cess over the crop Of 1864, is more than l4S,-
900 900 bushels. The quality Of other corps
is equal to the general average of former
years; and the total excess for SOS over 1864,
lis 2l5,07l,4ll bushels.

A correspondent Of the New England Far
mer says the fact that Vermont can and will
make the best butter and cheese for the New
England marke; is obvious,-frst, because
the atmosphere is pure, being free from mala-
ria second, these hillsides furnish an album
dance Of the purest water; third, from
strong and well under-drained soil comes
suitable food for the secretion of milk. And
not word for the dairy-women without
these all the rest would be in vain.

THE LATE PREsroN KING.-Search for
the body of the late Preston King, in New
York harbor, has been suspended, all the To-
calties where it would be likely to be found
having been explored without discovering any
traces of the deceased. There are some who
think Mr.. King still living. but his friends in
New York, who have the best means of judg-
ing, are firm in the belief that he is really
dead. The nat left on the ferry boat has been
recognized by several Of his friends, and also
by halter who lately repaired it. The other
circumstential evidence is also strong.

BossISG THE JoB.--ln New Haven the

re-entered the gentleman's office with his
thumbs in the sleeve holes of his vest, and
assuming very self-satisfed air. The gen,

FIFTY DOLLARS FOR A MURDER.-A Chi
cago paper says that William Corbett has
confessed the murder of Michael Maloney, at
Cicero, H. 1t appears that a man named
Williams, who lives in Cicero, and who had
ON one or more occasions had difficulty with
Mallory, hired three men, Corbett, Fleming
and Kennedy, to murder him. They pro-
ceeded to the place, and all three had weap-
ons. They arranged themselves in such or
der that when Corbeu shot him the others
could repeat the shois in case he was not
killed. The one shot, however, killed him.
The price paid for this murder was fifty dol
lars, or sixteen dollars and sixty-six cents
each. 1t is alleged that Fleming is an es-
capped prisoner from Botany Bay. and has
committed murder before. Corbett and Fiem-
ing are to be hung Dec. 8.
