KENTUCKY ELEcTIoN.-An election
was held in Kentucky, last week, and re-
suited in a complete triumph of the resel
democracy. To understand this it is nee
essary to state that there are two demo-
cratic parties in that State besides the
straight out Union party. One is headed
by Gov. Bramlette and men who stood by
the Union during the war after the Ken
lucky fashion. The other is the straight
rebel party led by those who served in the
rebel cause during the war, and it is this
brssd Of democracy that has just triumphed
over both the other parties, and yet we
see the democratic papers in New England
are in extacies over this 9 democratic thun-
der which in spirit is the same as that
which opened the rebellion at Fort Sum
ter. This democratic victory" and the
attack on U. S. troops in that State at
about the same time, Ian account of which
we give in another article) are all Of the
same type.

Trout Raising


The following letter, written by x. +.
Gowing of Bartonsville, is published in a
late number Of the Manchester, N. H.,
Mirror:--
BARroNsvILLr, VI, April s, 1867.
DEAR SIR In reply to your letter
will say, that last December ] obtained
eleven hundred trout pawn from the
western part Of New York. placed
them in the Matching box the 2Slh OF De-
cember. They commenced to hatch
January 26,h, finished Matching Febru-
airy 9th. have now nearly 1000 live
trout that are growing finely, The time
that expires after the eggs are taken from
the trout until they hatch, depends upon
the temperature Of the water. Mime
commenced Matching in sixty-seven days
They will hatch sooner in warm than
cold water. The bottom of the Matching
box is covered with coarse sand and fine
gravel about IL inches deep. The eggs
were placed on the top of the sand with
out touching each other.
A box one foot wide and twenty feet
long will contain 100000 eggs. 1t should
be placed near spring of pure water
which runs with gentle current, so as
not to move the eggs. When the trout
| is first Matched, it is about IL inch II
length and lives upon an umbiiical sack
to which it is attached until about the
fortieth day. After that they should be
fed with the yolk of hens eggs boiled
hard and finely crumbled, or curd OBJ
tanned from sour milk. / shall soon com
mence giving mine boiled liver hashed
fine. In regard to ponds-of course the
size must depend upon the amount o
water. The water in the pond should bt
changed every "a or 4S hours. Fish car
be very plenty and grow well if they have
pure water and plenty of food. l have
just made beginning in raising fish
but intend to procure patent trout thu
coming summer, and hope to furnish
spawn next fall to those who wish il
with directions for Matching, etc. Shal
be happy to impart any information tina
1 can, at any time, and to any one VIII
may desire it.

The HISTORY OF THE SECRET SERVICE
DURING THE REBELLION. BY General
l.. c. Baker, late Provost Marshal and
Chief Detective Of the War Depart
ment. Jones Brothers & Co., Philadel-
phia, Pa, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Daven-
port, Iowa.
This is the most interesting and valu-
able contribution that has yet been made
to the eventiul history of the late war. 1t
was not generally supposed that the public
would ever be favored with knowledge
of the operations of the Secret Bureau Of
the War Department. But here we have
full and authentic history of its rise,
progress, means OF information, methods
of work, by the Chief Of the Bureau him
SELF The book is filled with strange and
startling revelations-each chap'er con-
tains matter enough for dozen romances.
The experiences of General Baker throw
in the shade all the revelations made by
the chiefs of the secret police of the Eu-
ropean Governments. This narration will
probably startle great many staid people
from their propriety, for he places numer-
Gus high officials in curious predicaments
His bold and fearless course will doubtless
gain him friends among the people, who
hitherto knew him only as an implacable
agent Of a secret, swift, stern, and remorse
less power. Now he quietly shows the
public all the springs and intricate machin
cry Of the great power which he directed
for FIVE years. The work is complete ii
700 octave pages, excellen,ly printed or
fine white paper, and embellished will
seventeen engravings. Sold only by sub
scription through the publishers authorize,

The INJUNCTION CAsEs.-The case
brought in the Supreme Court by the State
of Georgia. to restrain all the United
State officers from enforcing the laws of
Congress in reconstructing the Southern
State came up on Monday, and was dis
missed by the Court on the ground that it
was matter over which they had no juris-
diction. This viii probably end the in
junction cases, and some other clog will
have to be thrown in to prevent the work
of reconstruction, according to the act Of
Congress, if the rebels have the ingenuity
to invent one.

Chester Academy.
Yours respectfully,
r. f. GowING.

M. EDITOR Having attended the ex-
animation at Chester Academy under
the charge of Prof. Shaw, and his able and
faithful assistants, continuing Monday and
Tuesday of this week, it gives us pleasure
to say that it was highly creditable to
both teachers and scholars. The recitations
in Arithmetic. Algebra, Geometry, Phil
osophy, Geography, History, Analysis,
Latin, Greek and French evinced more
than ordinary proficiency, and thorough
ness of instruction, they told well for the
application of the students of this lnstitu-
ton. What was gone over in the text
books was gone over weN. The thing aimed
at was to secure critical and clear under
standing of the first principles Of knowl-
edge, consequently the students gave good
evidence of excellent instruction in those
things which commonly are but superfci-
ally taught. and it was gratifying 70 see
their readiness in answering all those ques-
tons that pertained to the nicer details of
their text books. Evidently the end sought
after was to be thorough, rather than to
go over large surface, to know some
things we'll rather than to half know more
things. The students, the present term.
have numbered over one hundred, and
we know of no place where parents at a
distance can send their children to more
advantage than to this Academy, over
half century old. Chester is one of the
most beautiful villages in Vermont, conve-
niently located upon the railroad, and yet
so far removed from the designations Of
very large towns as to make it in its moral
influence peculiarly suited to the young
healthy, commanding fine scenery, with no
temptations to spend money foolishly, and
expenses lower than in most academies
Chester must always be a favored spot for
the education of the young. The inhabi-
tants have always taken deep interest in
their favored Institution, providing at their
houses at very reasonable rates places for
the students to board, and throwing around
the young all those home attractions, that
go quite as far even, as Academical in
struction in moulding their character for
the useful and the good.

SHOCKING DEATH BIZ SuFFocATIoN.---
The following are the details Of the death
by suffocation Of two servant girls at the
Moravian seminary for young ladies at
Bethlehem, Pa on Sunday night week.
Seven servant girls slept together in
room in the basement, under the seminary
dining room, where was large stove, the
gas from which, owing to the damp, heavy
weather, was forced down an open fiue in
the chimney into the room where the ser
want girls were sleeping One of the
girls did not retire till about l o'clock and
on entering The room noticed blood on the
walls, heard groaning by those asleep in
the room, and was somewhat affected by
the gas. Dropping her lamp, she ran,
greatly affrighted, to the housekeeper's
room, and told her that the girls had been
murdered. The housekeeper and her two
daughters became panic-stiicke locked
themselves in their room, and did not
even attempt to alarm the watchmen on
the streets, which they could easily have
done from their window, and remained
paralyzed with fear till morning. The
unfortunate servant girls were thus left
without relief. When daylight gave the
housekeeper courage TO alarm The house
terrible scene presented itself. Hannah
Hawk and Susan Manhertz, who slept
respectively at each end Of the room, were
found dead, the pillows, bedding, &c. be-
spattered with blood. Eliza Fehr, the
cook, was on the floor, and, it seems, had
been awakened by the screams and groan-
ings Of the other women, and got up lit q
candle, and when losing consciousness, she
fell and remembered no more till restored
to consciousness next day. The other
four, whose beds were in the center of the
| the room, were found insensible, but were
soon restored and are now well again the
others are not out Of danger yet.

Release Of JET. Davis.

JEFF. Davis was taken to Richmond on
Saturday, and ~ Monday was released on
giving bail in the sum Of 100000. Hor-
acc Greeley being one Of his bondsmen.
The proceedings Of this affair, being the
most important event of the week, we give
mainly from correspondent Of the Boston
Journal, az follows -
Jefferson Davis, who SO ingloriousiy fed
from the capital Of his lettering Confsde-
racy on the I'd Of April, 1864, returned
yesterday, and was received with homage
that testified the fidelity Of the white Vir-
ginians to their deposed leader, and to the
principles Of which be is chief representa-
tive.
This was the quiet termination of the
imprisonment at Fortress Monroe Of the
arch traitor, who was at first treated like
criminal, fed on prison fare and put in
irons when he was refractory, but who has
Of late received every possible attention
and been furnished with every comfort.
On reaching the steamer Mr.. Davis was
informed Of an event which the ancients
would have regarded as sinister augury,
and which could but have impressed him.
The captain, meeting the party as they
came on board, informed Mr.. Davis that
be had intended to have given him the ex-
elusive use Of the ladies' cabin, but that a
lady named Davis had. been transferred
from the Baltimore boat in very feeble
condition and taken into the ladies' cabin,
where she was then in the agonies of death.
This rendered it necessary for Mr.. Davis
to occupy stale room, in which he had
interviews with bis friends. The suffering
passenger breathed her last not long after
the boat left Fortress Monroe.
