A New Mar OF CLAYTON Co-Mr. M. H.
Thompson is engaged in getting up a map of
Clayton county. We have seen maps of other
counties prepared by him, and judging from
their appearance we have no doubt he will
make one for Clayton worthy the patronage of
her citizens. 1t is designed to be first class
map in every respect, showing the boundary
lines Of every mans farm, with his name dis.
tinctly engraved upon it. The position Of all
tho farm houses, school.houses, mills and
churches, and the location Of timbe..land.,
highways, railroads, blocks, streets, DC, &c.,
will all be marked upon it, 1t is to be orna.
mented with views Of some of the prime iple
residences Of the county, and we recommend
every citizen Of the county, and particularly
farmers and business men, who are each inter.
ested in this work, to see that Mr.. Hubbard,
now travelling through the county soliciting
subscriptions. receive that encouragement that
will warrant the publication of the map, and
give to TIE world a knowledge Of Clayton Co.
As sufficient number of subscribers must be
obtained, before any surveys are made. let
every one encourage the enterprise al once.

Gn1r.-A .even-year-old boy, Of Pleas.
antville, New York, recently threw him
self on railroad track and lost an arm
by it to escape going to school! He told
his parents he would die before be would
attend school, and tho spunky little chap
took terrible chances. His name is George
Smith. The fault in this case was in the
teacher and the parents-the 6rst, for not
knowing what stuff Tue little fellow was
made Of and not accommodating the treat
mcnt to his organism; the last. for failing
to inquire into the difficulty. We think
tho child had more real sense than all b is
guardians. The writer taught school seven
years and never had to punish child for
truancy. Children arc little human beings,
but there are many teachers who do not
seem to know it. Kindness will win, when
force fails to conquer.

The New York Evening Post, leading Re.
publican paper, in a late article upon the reor
ganization of parties, makes the following i'm.
portant admission, which is worthy OF the spec.
ial attention Of politicians. 1t says:
at seems to be the universal expectation
that a new division Of political parties must
grow out of the events and consequences of
the war,
The republicans have ceased to be, from the
single fact that they have no longer any dis
tinctive creed to express, or any peculiar func-
ton to fulfill. What they set out to do-to
fix a limit to the extension Of slavery-they
have more than done; they have not only cir.
cumscribed but overthrow it; and the princi.
pie which brought them together having
been accomplished, they have no reason for
being.

CHrTKNDkN COUNTY JAIL.-Our County
Judges have recently been giving considefa-
BILE attention to the condition Of our Comfy
Jail We aceonpahs.s them together with
one Of TWO n the town representatives of
aeishborirg towns, on an informal inspec-
ton the other day. While the securisy,
cleanliness and good c-ier of the Jail under
the care q Sheritf Munson. were commenda-
5ie, it was apparent that some repairs and
changes are greatly needed. On the enlarg-
ment Of the jail five or six years ago, two
new wards were added, one over the other,
each containing q tier of cells built, sides
and floors, Of large slabs of dressed stone.
The lower Of these wards is occupied by the
female inmates. the upper one rs wen az the
old ~ards, are occupied by hen. By picking
The cement out from between the slabs, and
IN oris case by breaking hole into an iron
ventilating pipe, the prisoners have succeeded
in making communications between all these
wards. Men in the cells above can look
through cracks between the stone .fabs, INTO

from the hoop skirts of the women no and
money are passed to and fro; the privies for
each sex communicate in the same way, and
filthy dialogues and consultations in crime
are carried on, and under present arrange
ments cannot be prevented, between the most
hardened offenders of both sexes. perhaps
in the hearing of lads and young girls ,eharg-
ed with comparatively slight offences. This
is of course state OF things which cannot
be endured, and the Judges have taken meas
ures for repairs which will thoroughly rene
dy these particular faults of construction.
But there are other defects in our iail
which are not SO easily reached. Especially
and above all, the need Of better arrange
ments for the separation Of young oaender,
of both sexes from tho oder and hardened
criminals, must strike every one who exam
| Ines the matter. As mere matter of dollars
and cents, we cannot afford to have our coun-
ty Jail school Of contamination, from which
lads and girls, confined perhaps for petty
larceny, graduate instructed in burglary
arson and every crime. When the moral
considerations are taken into account, ques-
tons Of the expense are Of nc account. The
people of this County have no right to main
tain schoo! of crime.
Our Jail now occupies an exceedingly val
liable location on our main business street

Report of the Trustees of the Vermont
Agricultural College.

We are obliged to Henry Clark, ESQ.,. Sc

document consisting of the Report to the
Governor by the Trustees of the Vermont
Agricultural College Incorporated by the
Legislature of last year. The report was

and one thousand copies printed for the use
of the General Assembly. 1t was an essen
tial condition OF the act of last year that one
hundred thousand dollars OF valid and SOL

applied to the endowment and other uses of
said college. Failing of this antecedeut to
tbsil5th of November 1865, the act was
then to oease and become void The attempt
to secure the requisite subscriptions has
proved failure. Subscriptions, coupled

LAKE CHAMPLAIN. TWO NEW
STEAMERS.

We have heretofore mentioned the fact
that the Champlain Transportation Company
were constructing a new steamer at their
ship yard in Shelburne harbor We now
learn that the company at recent meeting
decided to build still another boat without
delay. and selected the names which the
two shall bear,-viz, the GREEN MOUNTAIN.
and the ADIRONDACK, in honor Of course Of
the mountain ranges which look down on
Lake ChampIain.
The GKEES MouSTAS is already well
under way and will if all goes well be
launched IN the Spring. Her dimensions
will be: Length 260 feet beam 81 feet, 65
feet width over all, l0I feet hold The
model is one which with considerably greater
passenger and freight capacity than the pre-
sent line boats. will also give lighter draft
and greater speed. Her engine will be that
Of the r. w Sherman. which is still as
good as new. Her interior finish and deco
rations will be largely OF our native orna-
mental woods, the butternut, Chestnut, ma
Pile. and black walnut. and will form a rich
and tasteful contrast with the common glld-
ing and Insel. She will have extensive
-tats-room accommodations, bath rooms,
readIng and smoking rooms, ard in fact all
the appointments OF a FIRST class hotel. 1t is
expected that she will be ready to take her
place in the line next Autumn, succeeding
the r. W. Sherman when will by that time
have outliyed It's usefulness and will be dis
mnntlcd.
The ADIRONDACK will be set up on the
ways as soon as the GREEN MOUNTAIN is
launched, and will in the following season
take the place of the United States, whose
engine will be placed in the new boat. The
two new steamers will cost from $3.50 900
to 100000. They will he built under the
supervision OF Elijah Root, the capable and
experienced engineer and builder of the
company assisted by Capt L. S. White.
The superior character of Mr. Roots work
may be inferred from the fact that, while
the Sherman built at Whitehall in 1859 for
an opposition boat, and purchased BY the
Transportation Company, is so far used up
that it will not pay to repair her, the United
States built at the Company's yard in IS47,
five years before the Sherman, is still service |
able, and will be run for year after the
Sherman is broken up.
The Company is to be congratulated on |
the success which enables it to build such /
steamers as these from its earnings, and it is |
wise in its policy of afording
to the constantly increasing travel on the
Lake, the most ample and elegant accommo-
iation.
What is most needed now, still further to
the pleasure seeking and bust
ness travel of this whole region. Is a new
arge, first class Hotel in Burlington. This
IS demanded not only by the public need.
but by prudent regard to our growth and
as city. 1t is needed and it
will pay. When will our capitalists be
'eady to start it?
