BURIINsroN.-We are glad to learn
from special dispatch, received last
evening, that the friends Of education of
the city otBurlington, at special meet.
ing held on Monday, succeeded, by a
majority Of SO, in accepting the amend
ment to the city charter granted by the
last Legislature, consolidating the sew.
eral school districts, and placing them
under the management of Board of
Education. This is the second effort
that has ben made to accomplish this
desirable object. Our friends in Bur.
lington have reason to congratulate
themselves on the result, as affording
the prospect OF having system in ac-
cord with the other large communities
of the state. Rutland has tried the
system, which works admirably under
Its efficient Board of Trustees. Should
Burlington put it in operation, with
Board Of Education composed of
public spirited, intelligent and earnest
men, her people will have no cause to
regret the change.

1t is becoming a very prevalent com
plaint among butter dealers, that farmers
are not careful enough as to the kind and
quantity of salt they use in preparing
butter for market Some put in too much,
others hardly enough, while too many are
careless as to the quality Of the article
used. Ordinary barrel salt is reported

soapy texture to the butter, while lacking
the prescrvative power essential to good
flavor and protracted keeping. An ex-
change states that the Ashton salt, I'M

all the essentials necessary to the preser-
walton Of butter-the salt costing about
one fourth more than that commonly IN
