In Vermont, peat is abundant, the geo.
logical survey of Professor Hitchcock and Ha-
ger have fully demonstrated. They say there
is not town IN the State that has not sup
ply ofpeat stored up for future use. The Rev.
5. X. Hall has also devoted much attention to
tie development of this important truth. If
not now important, it is to be in few
years more the most densely wooded por-
tons of the State have been SO completely
stripped Of forest, that timber and even fuel is
now an expensive article. Peat in Vei mont is
not confined to iowlands and valleys of streams.
Mr.. Hall names some of the highest towns in
the State where it is found; and all the rail-
roads cross beds of it, which would furnish
them with far cheaper fuel than wood or coal.
Some of these deposits are SO old and deep
that fossil elephants have been found buried
several feet below the present surface.
On tee summit of Mansfield mountain, in
| the town Of Stowe, VT, at an elevation of A.,
34S, feet above tide, there are beds of peat
anc sphagnous mess, rapidly increasing the
quantity Of fuel for future ages.

MANUFACTURE OF WAFERs.-The mode of
making the best quality of waters, as practiced
BY the English manufacturers, is as follows:
Fine wheat -four is taken and m ixed with
white of eggs and isiDglas into a very smooth
paste this Is spread over the Tin plates even
~, and dried in oven, several OF the pastes
being placed the one over the other to commu-
nicate glossy surface to the waters. When
dried, the sheets OF paste thus formed are laid
up IN pile, about an inch or more in depth,
and cut into circular pieces by hollow punch,
which is effect with great Tapidity. The va
riety of colors that are ordinarily communicate
ed to waters, is given to them in the paste, by
the usua pigments in the dry, powdered state,
or previously dissolved in the ter employed.
The French isngsss waters, made 10 France,
are formed of lsinglass dissolved 10 water to the
proper consi>tence, which i, poured out upon
plates of gllss provided with borders, and laid
upon level table. To prevent the glue from
sticking to the plates, little Of gall, or othes
suitable material, is rubbed over than. Pre-
viously to the isngiass becoming quite dry,
they are cut through along the borders. The
leaves are then removed and cut out with
hollow puncher, as in the Case Of other waters.
Tbe various colors also communicated TO
them by pigments while in fluid state.

" In consequence of the instructive appetite
of the toad for living insects, rapid digestion

complain that they are annoyed by thieves,
stealing their stock. Last week Mr.. John
Winfry had two mules stolen; and two mules
answering the description of those he had
lost were seen in the possession of two young

time that these depredators should learn that
the war has closed, and that they are not now
allowed to steal with impunity.
