Many ludlcrous scenes occurred in Chi
cago last summer when everybody was
suffering great apprehensions from danger
Of Cholera. a gentleman was having
his hair dressed by an English barber,
who, with. the all-important topic upon
his mind, remarked as he was vigorously
removing the d;indruff from his customers
scalp, "They says sir, that'the cholera is
in the hair" The gentleman sprung up
in great CONSERVATION from fear Of conta-
gion in the brush. '":Oh,. SIR" said the
barber, ~ dosen't mean, sir, the air Of
'ead, but the hair ,of the. haimosphere p

would ppobathy be powerless against. the
cholera. even in thd u'air Of the cad, a"
but it is sure preventative to those fatal
5estroyers of youthful beauty, badness
and greyness, and those who would pre-
ssrve their capillary adornments should at
once provide their toilets with the Restor-
alive.
A Chicago paper speaks of an earth,

CT Money continues in plentiful supply
at the principal commercial centers and
the rates of interest remain unchanged.
Most of the country banks arc discount
ing again, having reduced their circua.
ton to the. required amount Government
securities of all issues arc steady, with
increased demand. The gold market
has changed but little during the week.
On Tuesday last, it was quoted at / $50
on Thursday at 1.37. The cold rainy
weather operated unfavorably on the mcr-
camille business, and future prospects are
u favorable. Wooden mills do not resume
operations and some Cotton mills are
closing up. Business at the West has
had serious checks caused by the strikes
of laborers. Flour has advanced in
price, and there is no Immediate prospect,
Of decline. There is prospect of a
bountitu harvest west and south.

JLondon has had two sens; lions this
week, the great reform demonstration in
Hyde Park on Monday, and the meeting
of the conference of representatives Of the
great powers to settle the Luxembourg
question. The reform meeting was an
immense affair, attended by at least 100,
600 people of all classes, and there was
not sign of disturbance or any prctext
for showing the large body of extra po
lice that had been Organized for the
occasion. Fifteen separate meetings were
organized, one of which had to listen
to religious speeches, while another was
addressed by a woman in favor Of female
suffrage, and at all the meetings the
most rev. lutionary sentiments were the
mot loudly applaudcd by the crowd
The tory papers treat the demonstration rs
mob victory while the reformers claim
a splendid popular triumph.

Vermont Horses.

Among the fine sheep and cattle that
a the pride and dist notion of Vermont,
are her noble Morgan breed Of horses
For beauty in color, speed, durability and
anatomical structure they have not been
surpassed in any part Of the world They
are also intelligent and docile in temper
But 50 great has been the cal for what
may be termed fancy horses, and so great
the mania for speed, that the attention Of
the farmers, and their efforts, have all
tended in this direction and to this point.
Beauty and speed, without any reference
to draft, were the leading ideas of all
breeders, till we find our horse stock in
the State to consist, with but here and
there an exception, Of small fancy horses,
and good for nothing for practical use as
laboring draft horses.
The pure Morgan horse can be brought
up with all ease to the weight of 100 to
400 lb-., and made enduring and SER
viceable as any draft horses in the world.
Our climate and soil are as well adapted
TO the rearing of such important animals
as well as the small fancy kind, and as
there is a demand for large draft horses
in the State, as well as out of it, | hope
the farmers will give it that practical

the negroes are not so stupid as it has
sometimes been supposed. At a radical

Mr.. EDIroR In last weeks paper !
saw an article directed to the Stool,
raisers of Vermont, but by some mistake
either of the writer or printer, the sense
of the piece was entirely destroyed. Who
ever heard Of the farmers Of Vermont
being noted for raising the best cows of
any State in the lnion;. And who does
not feel just pride, in the reputation
Vermont has enjoyed OF raising the best
Horses Of any state. And it WAS to slim
ulate the farmer to greater diligence, AMI
more close attention to breeding when
that article was written "Fdrmer" "
speaks in his article of last week Of Ayr
shire calves selling from S75 TO $50
dollars, and cows from $50 to $3.50
dollars. see by the "Agrieulturst, -
that sale has been made in Thorniale,
Duchess Co., \. Y, by Mr.. Samuel
Thorn, of forty head of the short horn
breed, that averaged $1,000 per he /.
This herd was purchased by Mr.. james
O. Sheldon Of Geneva Co., n. Y, who
has b, en- + some years engaged in form
ing herd of duchess OF Oxtords," and
with the addition becomes the owner Of
more fine animals of these families, than
any oth,r breeder in the world. Now
the question for Vermont farmers to
answer is, have we got in Vermont as
GOOD a class of Stock Horses as we might
have if not how shall we improve them
With regard TO cattle we are fortunate
here in Addison County in having some
of the best Ayrshire and Aldcrney stock
in New England, and it is the fault o.
the farmers if they are not patronized.

The writer of this article is not horse

greeted by one of our most enterprising
and successful farmers, and shown n large
stock horse, a pure Morgan, beautiful

'Gcn. Washington" but what can learn
of his history and merits, he well sustains
his illusrlous name, and is doing honor to
the large imported stock IN Vermont. His
weight is 1909 lbs lie was sired by tho
celebrated Peck Horse of Montpelier, the
sire of Old Black Hawk. The Generals
mother was Woodbury. Morgan, and
weighed 1000 lbs. IA TO color, size,
power and action, he is all that could be
desired, and the farmers will do well to
make his acquaiptance, and secure his scr.
vices, for the decided ncedlu improve
ment in the size as we'll us speed of their
horses. This horse Is owned by H. G..
