NEW SENAToR.-Gov. Dillingham;
has appointed Hon. Luke 2. Poland of
ST. Johnsbury, senator to ill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Hon. Jacob
Collamer. We are little surprised at
this, though we do not feel very bad
about it. We bad expected to see Hon.
Justin S. Morrill, receive the appoint
ment, as bis long and able services in the
House Of Representatives had given him
a strong hold upon the regards of the
people of the State, and made for him
self national reputation such as any
man, however aspiring, might feel proud
Of. But we suppose the governor rea-
soned that it would be a pity for the
House to lose the services of so efficient
member at this juneture in our nation
al affairs, that his place could not be
made good in that body, and that in Judge
Poland he saw all the elements and pc
culiar traits that 60 10 make a popular
and an efficient senator. In these opin-
ions Gov. Dillingham; is sustained by the
people at large. In reference to the ap-
pointment we have heard but one opin
ion expressed thus far, and that is one of
entire acquiescence. If Judge Poland
shall ado:n the senate chamber with that
dignity, ease and grace, which he has
heretofore brought to the supreme bench
of the State, Vermont may challenge the
Union for bis superior.

Coop CALvEs.-We noticed a few
weeks since pair of steer calves eight
months old, belonging to Mr.. L. Collier
of Derby, and for which he had refused
500. He now writes us that he has
sold them for $l25 they were sired by
the "Tweedside," and were from Devon
cows. Mr.. Collier thinks there is some
thing in blood-with a little new milk
occasionally. We guess there is. 1t is
just as easy to raise good stock as poor,
while it is great deal more profitable.
