TIE first meeting of the corporators OF
the Vermont Agricultural College wa.
held at Montpelier on Tuesday, pursu-
ant 10 the call of Gov. Smith. Hon. J.
s. Morrill, was appointed president and
G. g. BENEDICT secretary. The corpora
tors were then distributed INTO Glasses, by
lot, in accordance with the provisions OF
the act, rs follows:
lst c5tSS, 10 Se're hro years-Horace
Herrick, l.. II. Tabor, Roderick Richard
son Frederick Hlolbrook, g. G.. Benedict.

Sd class, to Se1ve eir gears. NJ. Dorr,

Wheeler.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed:-
l. Making each corporator a commit
tee, in his own county, by himself or
agents, to procure subscriptions to the
fund Of 100000 required by the act,
and giving life scholarship for every
thousand dollars subscribed, to be dispos-
ed of by the subscriber.
2. Appointing committee to report
a plan for the permanent organization of
the college.
3. Appointing committee to draft an
address to the people of the State
A. Appointing committee to confer
with each Of colleges in the State with a
view of merging any or all with the Ag-
ricultural College.
A general discussion was had of the
objects of the college and the plans for its
establishment. The Board then adjourn
ed to meet at Burlington on the 9th of
July next.
The act of the Legislature provides that
unloss sum of not less than $1,000 is
raised by valid subscriptions us early as the
10th of November next. the corporation
shall cease to exist and this project fails.
If an institution independent of existing
colleges is to be established, now is the
time for some of our monied men TO come
forward ard immortalize themselves by
making the entire subscription and secur-
ing the location of the college at Rutland.
1t will be remembered that fund of over
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars has already been raised by the sale
of the land scrip donated by Congress, and
the sum required TO be raised in addition,
by subscription, would doubtless put the
institution on a good foundation. To the
locality which secures the college, it will
be of permanent benefit. Let our citizens
who have the means, consider the matter.

CT From the investigations now in
progress, relating to the assassination and
attempted assassinations at Washington
we are promised astounding developments.
a very large number of arrests have been
made and more are being made. The
following from a proclamation by Prcsi-
dent johnson is the most significant hint
Of what has already been arrived at:
Whereas, 1t appears from evidence in
possession of the Bureau of Military JUS
lice, that the atrocious murder of the late
President, Abraham Lincoln, and attemp-
ted ASSASSINATION of Hon. WIN. II. Sew
ard, Sec. Of State, were melted, corrected
and procured by and between jefferson
Davis, late of Richmond, Va, and Jacob
Thompson, Clement G. Clay, Beverly
Tucker, Geo. \. Saunders, w. Clearly
others, rebels and traitors against the
government Of the United States, harbor-
ed in Canada. Now, therefore, that
justice may be done, /, Andrew johnson,
President of the United States, do offer
and promise for the arrest of said persons,
or either of them, within the limits of
the United States so that they can be
brought TO trial, the following REWARDS
One hundred thousand dollars for the ar
rest Of jefferson Davis, twenty-five thou
sand dollars for the arrest of Clement c.
Clay, twenty-five thousand dollars for the
arrest of Jacob Thompson, late of Missis-
,ippi, twenty-five thousand dollars for the
arrest Of Geo. \. Saunders, twenty-five
thousand dollars for the arrest of Beverly
Tucker, and ten thousand dollars for the
arrest of William c. Cleary, late clerk OF
Clement c. Clay.
None of these persons are now in the
United States except jeff. Davis. There
is some hope that he will have an oppor-
tunity to appear at Washington and
prove his innocence Of the alleged crime,
but there is more reason to fear that he
will decline the opportunity and escape to

reliability of the evidence obtained, but
we may reasonably presume that such a
proclamation would not be based ON any,

We have received ftom tn, Stat,'s at
torney the following communication
We learn that without exception those
who confess themselves obnoxious to the
charge have fully pledged themselves to
refrain from the traffic hereafter. The
requlsition includes ale, cider and every
thing whereby intoxication can result.
The movement is not commenced too
soon. Beer guzzling has become TOO ex-
cessive for public dcccncy, and we trust
that all who have any regard for the
public welfare will chccrfully render the
States attorney all the assistance that
may be needed to maiLtain complete
and perpetual suppression of the sale Of
Intoxicating drinks:
MR. EDiroR IL have notified all who
are known to have been engaged in sell
ling, furnishing, and giving Intoxicating
liquors in the village OF AIiddebury, with
out authority, that they must cease the
traffic on and after Monday, the 9Th day
of May, under penalty of immediate pro-
secution. All good citizens are earnestly
enlreated TO aid in the suppression Of
intemperance in this community.

BURIAL OF BoorH's BoDY.-The
Washington correspondent Of the Adver-
iiser makes the following statement rela-
tive to the final disposal made of Booths
badly:
after the head and heart, which have
been deposited in the army medical mu-
scum in this city, had been removed, the
corpse was placed in charge of two men,
who after various movements calculated
to battle impairment curiosity, dug a
grave in little spot of ground close to
the penitentiary, where for some years
ielons have been buried. Booths body
was deposited here and the earth over il
was smoothed and carefully sodded over.
The other graves of less infamous felons
had previously been leveled, and strong
guard is now in charge of the place, and
will continue to keep it undisturbed I'M
Ill the grass has grown so thickly that no
one will ever be able to distinguish the
place where the assassin's corpse was in
tered from the other nameless graves
around it."

EA The question is often asked ::
"N ill the Canadian authorizes give IN
the conspirators ?" There is no proba-
bility that any requisition for their rem.
ditlon will be made. The alleged offence
was not committed within the United
States. The terms of the Extradtion
Treaty provide Tor the rendition of per-
sons charged with felony. Provided, that
this shall only be done upon such evil
dence OF crminality as, according to the
laws OF the place where the fugitive or
person SO committed shall be found,
would justify his apprehension and com
mltment if the crime or offence had been
there committed and the respective
judges and other magistrates of the two
governments shall have power, jurisdic-
ton and authority, upon complaint made
under oath, to issue warrant for the APP
prehcnsion Of the person so charged, that
he may be brought before such Judges or
other magistrates, respectively, to the end
that the evidence Of criminaliiy may be
heard and considered, and if on such
hearing the evidence be deemed sufficient
to sustain the charge, it shall be the duty
of the examining judge Or magistrate to
certify the same to the proper executive
that a warrant may issue for
the surrender of such fugitive. The ex-
pense of such apprehension and delivery
shall be bOlne by the party who makes
the requisition and receives the fugitive.
There is no British Statute by which
this particular crime is punishable. So it
seems that Saunders and his associates
may escape punishment, if they keep
beyond our boundaries. 1t is to be hoped
that the evidences of their criminality will
be fully published to the world, so that,
if they must live, they will bear the mark
of Cain wherever they may be-

g. 1t appears that Vermont Sheep
are not to be represented at the Stet.in
Fair and considerable noise has been
made ABOUT the inability Of the Commits
,ioners to get from the Governor the pro-
per credentials. The impression has
gone abroad that Gov. Smith was re-
'ponSiblc for the failure. But it proves
TO be mistake. He gave all the papers
that were asked of him, and expressed
,,ill;"~.,o--. ,'~S>iSI mann r-''"''"'"-'';'
1t was subsequently found that
other or different credentials would
be necessary, and owing to the Governors
absence or some other cause lie could not
be reached in season. The failure-if il
must prove a failure, is certainly very
much 10 be regretted, but the fault seems
not 10 be with Gov. Smith.

becomes him to do is to guard himself 9nd

most ciitctnally do by clearing his house,

1t seems TO be impossible for Mr.
Smith to be wholly consistent in his
scheme; for, while in making up hi,
case he substantially clears his client from
guilt and guilty intent, he still advocates
punishment by contiscation and the with
holding from them the privileges of free
men.
This seems to be about the argument
Of the advocates of lenity, but it is not
difficult TO see that it has its foun-
dation in aversion to capital punishment.
1t will be difficult to make the American
people understand that the movers of this
rebellion have not been guilty OF treason.
and that justice and sound policy do not
demand that some of them should not be
made to pay the extreme penalty of the
law; and notwithstanding all that may be
said about exasperating the South, our
present conviction is that Il large party in
that section will imperatively demand it.

only about lac were offered. There are many from
Cambridge, and another drove from New Brurs-
wick. There S hut Little trade going on. Our
Rhode Island and Connecticut friends, now that

few. from any direction, and, what is worse, are
afraid to buy lest they give too much or buy too
'o'n. Down to between and o'clock this alter
neon, only about 20 head Of the 800 lot had been
sold, and some Of the northern drovers had dor
little better. 1t is a blue Wednesday for the drov-
ers. We have never witnessed so great change
in this market. \ carload Of River cattle, Of ex-
cellent quality to dress some 1900 lbs. each, for
which the owner had been offered lie per h., live

Lambert Hastings said that no could not get lac

The difference between prices this afternoon and
Wednesday before last, is put at &c q Ii, bya
great many. Whether it be exactly three, three

sorrow to the drovcrs, though fun for the consume
