The Revolution in Hayii.

For long series Of years the world
mas been witnessing the instability OF
the Haytien Republic. AT times its
government has apparently become set
tied, but of sudden we have been start
led by rumors of bloody instructions
and revolutions. The latest news from
Hayti is far from giving satisfactory
account of affairs. The election for
President which was to have taken
place on the 8th OF April has been post
poned, leaving the Provisional Govern
ment still in operation with Gen. MIS-
sage, as acting President. On the l4th
of April the arrival of Salnave was daily
expected at Port au Prince, where his
partizans were preparing to make great
demonstrations of welcome. On the
the other hand, Gen. VictOure has, by the
order of Salnave pulled down the trium-
phal arches raised by the revoIutionists
in honor Of their chief at st, Marc; and
had fortified the town. This detection
has occasioned great excitement, and
the uncertainty resting upon the future
action of these parties has undoubtedly
caused the postpOnement of the election.
A rumor is in circulation that the re-
volutionary party at St. Marc had used
violence toward the American Consul
On account of an attempt on his part as
is alleged, to protect the refugees OF the
Gefrard party. Although no definite
particulars have been received, yet the
recent departure OF United States
steamer for that point, with the Ameri-
can Consul at Port au Prince on board,
ia some degree confirm these rumors.
Gen. Getfrard, the ex.President Of Hayti,
who fed with his family, is living in re-
tirement at Kingston, Jamaica, where
he has been well received by all classes,
He is about sixty years of age, but is
said not to be full black, and is des-
cribed as "Quite gentleman" in his ap-
pearance and bearing. The following
from the Kingston (JamaiCa) Morning
Herald, shows the estimate in which be
is held, also their opinion OF the vacil-
Iating character Of the Haytian people :
OF President Gefrard we cannot
speak but in terms OF the highest res
pect, and we join in giving him q wei
come to Jamaica, where we are conscious
he has more earnest sympathizers than
any other gentleman coming here under
like circumstances has ever met with.
His enemies of course rail at him, but
enemies will rail. They denounce him
as & tyrant they will do the same with
his successor before many days, good
man though he may be. We cannot for
get the acclamations with which he was
hailed ten years ago; we cannot forget
the popularity he enjoyed until the dis
contented found it mete to create dis,
cord. If such man as Gefrard was
long represented to be can suddenly be-
come q tyrant, then the human heart
must be capable Of sudden and violent
transitions. The evil is rather to be
traced to the popularity of people who
regard their rulers as children do their
toys; having been amused with them,
cast them awaY.

The judiciary committee had brief

The NEW CATHEDRAL AT BURLfNaroSs
The Burlington Times gives an extend.
ed account OF the new Catholic Cathe.
dral in that City, which has been In pro-
cess OF construction for the past five
years and it is expected, be completed
and ready for dedication in August next.
1t was opened to the public for inspec-
tion on Sunday last, at which time .
dialogue was pronounced by five boys,
which written by Bishop De Goesbriand,
explanatory of the various works OF art
represented in the building. The follow
ing is description of the splendid
stained glass window in the eastern
Transept. 1t is made to represent the
Last Judgement :"
In the Centre Window, Christ as
Judge surrounded with angels. Under
him in the clouds angels sounding their
trumpets, and the dead rising to life by
the power Of God.
In the North Window, the just after
the Judgement led by their guardian
angels to meet Christ in the air.
In the South Window, the wicked
dragged by devils into the abyss Of
hell.
The lowest panels of the three win
dows represent the seven corporal works
Of mercy.
In the highest panel is the figure OF
the Creator having on either side two
groups of angels, representatives Of the
nine choirs which the Scriptures tells
surrounded the Deity.
The seven paintings in the lower COM
psrtments would we'll adorn any gallery
of art, and cannot fail to inculcate great
moral lessons and represent scenes as
,ollows
st. Elizabeth OF Hungary feeding the
starving boy the Women of Samaria at
the well, giving the cup Of cold water to
the Savior; St. Martin, the Christian
Soldier OF the fourth century who cloth
ed the naked beggar at the gates OF
Ameins, the good Samaritan who visit
ed and comforted the sick man on his
| journey to Jerico; the pious monk Of
st. Bernard leading the snow and ice
bound traveller to place of refuge st.
Vincent de Paul visiting the prisons and
administering bodily and spiritual con-
ISOLATION to those in chains, and Tobias
the holy captive religiously burying his
brethren who died in exile all these
examples urge the practice of that great
est of Christian virtues, CHARITY.
In the upper compartment is also,
tha rirrh+ hand ~

arms of Bishop De Goesbriand.
The East Window is the contribution
of Seth B. Hunt, Esq, of Bennington, q
gentleman Of wealth, and Protestant.
He has before given evidence of his appre-
citation Of public charities by donation
Of l5,000-toward repairing the st.
Joseph's Orphan Asylum, and has re-
Gently given the good Sisters connected
with the institution $3.50 in clothing
&c. This does honor to the heart OF
Mr.. Hunt, whose generosity seems to
know no limit of sect or politics in max.
ing his gifts to public purposes.
The Cathedral when completed will be
one Of the largest and finest churches in
New England, and will repay visit in
studying the paintings alluded to.
Bishop De Goesbriand sails in few
weeks for Rome, to attend the observ.

DISEASES OF SHEEP. - The Lyndon
Union gives the following from cor
respondent relative to the diseases of
sheep, which may be interesting to our
farmers:
II notice an article in your issue of
April Goth, in regard to sheep rot. l
have already lost fourteen sheep on the
farm in Victory. They die not from
neglect or poverty, for it is as likely to
be a good sheep as poor one. They
become weak, lie down, refuse to eat or
drink, live from two to three days and
then die. When we skin them we find
the fiesh from the head to the shoulders,
in putrid state, and smelling very
badly, looking as though the disease was
confined to the throat and neck. have
used tar upon the noses of the sheep,
and am really at loss to know what to
do to check the mortality prevailing
among them. 1t is my impression that
the past winter has been unfavorable for
sheep. Sudden changes of the weather,
from one extreme to another, has caused
them to take cold, resulting perhaps in
lever among them and / can see no
reason why a sheep can't die with the
quick consumption as well as person.
Ii you know of a remedy that will
arrest the disease let Us have it,"

Local and state Items.

SHORT HORN CATTLR.---No o State in New
England pays so little attention to
breeds of cattle as Vermont. Strange as
it may seem there is but one herd of
pure blood cattle in the State from which
sales are made. This herd OF pure
blood short horn breed, and owned by
A. NJ. Winslow & Sons, of Putney, Wind
ham Co. Wehave made an effort to pro-
cure list OF their sales for the year 1865,
that our farmers may see the value OF
giving attention to good breeds Of cat
tie. There are many scattered in single
parties, but we think no families Of fine
breed in the State except those OF the
Messrs. Winslow's.
Their sales in 1866 were, January, calf
champion, 5 months old to s. E. Car
penter, Londonderry, for $3.50; March,
Lady Belle" three years old, for $500 ;
Calf months old, for $3.50, to A. F.
Wait, Brattleboro'; June, calf Vermont.
er" 4 months old, for $3.50, to L. R. Jos.
lyn, Waitsfeld: September, calf "Roar
Star g" months old, for $3.50, to Char
les Lamb, Newp ort, N. H. September
cow "Marilla" for s425, to s. E. Carpen
ter, Londonderry Cow "Topsey" fol
s400, to Winslow, Hazzeltine, Land
grove; Heifer Madonna, 7th, three
months old, for $3.50, to E. S, Baldwin
Putney; October, calf, "Msjor Bulco'
5 months old, for $3.50, to Ruel Smith
Wilmington; November, calf Young
Champion" months old, for $3.50, tt
Haywood and Goodhue, Hancock, N
H.; December, COW "Pocohontas" 4tt
for $425, to Bradley Gorham, Putney
amounting in all to $4,000.
This particular family are from the
celebrated herd Of Paoli Lathrop o.
South Hadley, who has been one of the
best breeders of this class of cattle ii
the United States the original having
been imported by him from Europe.
We have presented this statement thai
our farmers may appreciate the value o
the best breeds of cattle, and give more
attention to raising them. We ought tc
have in Vermont men who have herds
like those of Lathrop, Peters, and White
of Massachusetts, Anderson Of Maine
and a large number of Others scattered
through New England. We hope ths
farmers of Vermont will give the rails
ing of the pure bloods attention.

Gently man gave an invite to his

Everything proceeded merrily till the
hour arrived for the husband to inform
his guests that this was the annual re-
currence OF the happiest period of his
life,' etc, when it was discovered that
the wife wasn't to be found. She had
disappeared, as had also one of the in.
vited males. They hunted that night
and all the next day, but they didn't
find her hid in chest, smothered to
death. 1t wasn't her style. She had
eloped with the male-taking the hus-
bands tin which he had saved for a
rainy day"

THE GRAB GAME IN CoSGREss.-In the Senates
Tuesday, while the new Tariff was in progress,
and one and another was trying to enhance the
duty from twenty to one hundred per cent. bes
yond what the trainers of the bill had dared to
carry it, Mr.. Garrett Davis of Kentucky, moved
an effective increase of the duty on fax and
hemp and their products, raising the rate from
one hundred to four hundred per cent at
DASH He said he believed the whole bill was
game of grab, and as each senator was grabbing
for all be could get for his particular interest,
be had offered this amendment to get his share.
This motion failed to pass, which shows that
the protectionists dare not carry out their prin$
cples to the full extent. 1t may also be taken
as evidence that Kentucky interests are not DOM
inant a they used to be in protectionist coun-
ellis. As to the motion itself, if it had passed, it
would only have been a complete illustration of
the tendency of things. IL is 'a grab game,'
and Mr.. Davis had good right as the rest
to try and see how much he could get. WhethI
er his motion passes or not, we have confidence
that if the bill becomes a law, it will go far to
open the eyes of the people to the wickedress of
the system.~We advise all our friends not to inS
vest money on the strength of this bill, for it is
the very thing to hasten the overthrow Of the
protective system. We hear from Washington
that it is not likely TO pass.-N T. Post.
