WOMAN SUFFRAGE Legislature
Of Kansas last Winter submitted to the
people tyo amendments to the Consti-
tuition Of that State-frst, admitting
colored men TO the right Of suffrage,
and, second, striking ont the word
" male in the section prescribing the
qualifications Of electors. The amend
ments are now before the people. There
is no doubt whatever that the amend
ment comforting colored suffrage viii
be carried, and the women's rights wo-
men are confident they win carry their
amendment as well The friends Of the
amendments are holding meetings in all
parts Of the State. Nine mass conyen-
tons are advertised for the month OF
June. Mrs. Santon, Susan i. Anthony,
Mrs. Gage and Chas. l. Bemond VIII
address them. Carl Schurz has been
engaged to address German audiences
in favor Of botn amendments. OF the
press Of the State, fourteen Journals
support both amendments, aud five OPP
pese. The remainder are silent At

Messrs. Pettibone winter 900 sheep. The man
ner in which they are cared for, is well given in a
note accompanying the samples, aud from which we
quote; "They are kept closely confined from the
time they are put up in the fall till turned out to
p~asture-this year fall six months-the longest time
Of foddering we ever knew. Our barn is closed with
matched boards, and is so warm that water viii not
freeze in II in the coolest of weather. We feed, IN
addition to hay, eight quarts of corn per day to 100
ewes. We never feed roots Of any kind. With hay
and dry corn our ewes give an abundant supply Of
milk. There is no disease among our sheep, and
the lambs are dropped strong and healthy,-none OF
the diseases common among lambs effect ours
This fact shows that close confinement on dry feed
does not cause disease, nor con il be caused by
breeding in and in, for we practice that. We had
one flock of 70 ewes, mostly two years old, which
were kept At a barn a mile from home, fed twice per
day with hay and four quarts Of corn, since Feb. /.
These 20 and 80 ewes with lambs, including the
three year old ewes, were shorn the last Of the flock
The average weight Of the feeces Of the 10 was a
little over ten pounds per fleece. The average OF
the three year old ewes was over eleven pounds
We do not house our sheep in summer
During the spring they sold about fifty before
s%hearing, and consequently are unable to give the
weight per fleece Of the entire flock wintered. They
have also recently sold a small lot Of two year old
shorn. The average weight Of the feeces OF the
ewes was 10t pounds, while that Of the buck weigh
ed ia pounds.

THE APPROACHING HARVEST. The re-
ports from 81 parts Of the land respect
ing the growing crop continue to be Of
the most cheering character. Only in
Virginia and North Carolina is there
complaint heavy rains having badly
damaged the wheat fields. The ac-
counts from all parts Of Illinois is uui-
formly favorable, and the harvest will
be abundant if good weather continues.
In Wisconsin the wheat crop looks well,
and the area sown is thirty per cent
more than last year. II Missouri the
wheat and oat crops never looked bet
ter, while the breadth covered by these
crops i greater than usual. In New
jersey the grain and fruit crops prom
ise a bountitul yield Tho grain crop
in Sonth Carolina was never better, and
the breadth sown unusually large East
Tennessee expects to raise more wheat
this year than ever before in u sea-
son. In Kentucky the tobacco crop is
likely 10 prove a failure, but wheat
looks well Mississippi wIl have a
great crop q corn, and cotton looks
splendidly. Texas Is a perfect garden.
aud the most encouraging accounts are
given a the Young crops.

The educational interests Of Vermont
have been decidedly advanced by two
acts % the last Leg sIaturo and Of their
authorizing the Board Of Education %
establish a Normal School in each Con
mcssional District, and granting special
privileges as teachers to pupils in those
schools who pass a satisfactory expmi-
nation on graduation; theetherb ostow-
ing similar privileges on any persons
who pass an equivalent examination Al
a Teachers Institute. Normal Schools
have been established At Randolph aud
johnson, aud the first term at each has
been highly successful Nearly one
hundred aud fifty pupils have been in
attendance, Of whom eleven completed
the first course Of study, and we're au.
thorized to teach for five years. The
examinations at Teachers Institutes
have resulted in the detection Of many
incompetent teachers. Not in slS

suit is to diminish the present supply
Of teachers, but to ensure a supply o.

The address Of The Judge was thrilling

MYSTERIOUS DIsApPEARANcE, Alonzo
M. Allen, 0 of Hon. Alonzo q. Allen,
of Granville, Addison Co, Vt, left his
fathers residence on tho 10th inst, I'M
der such circumstances as TO produce
great alarm and anxiety for his safety,
by his friends. lie is about twenty-one
years old, and had ON when he left, a
short drilling frock under his coat, no
vest, pink, white and black wooden shirt,
the bosom braided, army blue pants,
calf boots, red binding at the top, and
a palmleaf hat. MI. Allen concludes q
letter to the Freeman as follows:
mo alarm was felt for his safety until
Tuesday night, as he had been intend
ing to 90 on a fishing tour with some Of
his associates; but failing to come home,
the uneasiness of his friends caused
them to make inquiries, upon which they
found he had made u call at a neighbours
house and spent a short time with some
young men, and left, saying he must go
home and go to bed. He was then about
thirty rods from home, in the road, with
the moon shining brightly, and only one
house to pass, before passing which he
was met by two neighbours, and since
that no trace Of him can be found, tho
the alarm has become general and dill
gent search made in the vicinity and for
considerable distance around. To those
knowing all the particulars, it presents
one Of the most mysterious disappear
ances ever heard of. The whole town
is now in alarm, and his immediate
friends are suffering irrepressible grief
and anguish. We therefore appeal to
a generous public for their sympathy,
and tender to our friends our grateful
Acknowledgements for the generous aid
we have already received and shall eyer
appreciate; and we now solicit the aid
of editors, railroad agents, postmasters
and others, to give us some ray Of light
and hope for our lost boy"
Since the above was put in type, we
have received the Rutland Herald, con
tanning the following:
MELANCHOLY DEATH. -Alonzo Allen,
aged about Il years, youngest son of
Gen. A. q. Allen of Granville, disap-
peared one week ago last Monday eve
ming. Diligent and all possible search
was made for him by his family, neigh
bors, friends and citizens from the
neighboring towns of Hancock and
Colchester, but no track Of his wherea-
bouts could be found until Wednesday,
June 18th, nine days after his disap-
pearance, when a last great effort was
made by a large number of citizens,
which proved successful. He was found
dead, almost one mile from his house,
and nearly a hundred rods from the
main travelled road. His body was
badly decayed, and was lying between
some rocks at the foot of a stump ledge,
overhung by a birch tree. A small fish
cord was found tied around his neck,
and also a piece Of the same cord was
found attached to a limb Of the birch
tree some twenty feet above him. No
cause can be given for this strange dis
appearance, nor can any clue be had
to his terrible and melancholy death

4 session Of Congress.

1t is to be hoped that every loyal
newspaper in the North viii urge upon
our representatives in Congress the inn
portance of being in Washington ON the
LIST Of July, in order that the extra SEES
sion, contemplated by law under GER
tain ~exigencies, may be commenced at
that time.
There never was a period when the
counsel and deliberation of the peoples
agents was more imperatiyely required.
A desperate conspiracy has been framed
against our liberties, and an attempt is
threatened to overthrow our popular
form of Government. The President
oontemplates usurpation. His official
organ that he has determin-
ed to set at naught the DEGREES of Con-
grsss; to re-establish at the South a
line Of policy which has been r%epudiat-
cd by that body and by the people.
The role which Andrew johnson has
laid out for himself, is not unlike that
Of Louis Napoleon, in the December
Coup d'ctat. But the characters and
the scenes are different. Our usurper
will find no willing soldiery at his back;
no ignorant mob before him, terrified
and subdued by displays of power. He
cannot Danish the members Of our Nat
ional Assembly to distant colonies. The
strong arm Of an intelligent people, &c
ting within the defined limits of Consti-
tutional law, will very quickly stop his
aggressive career.
Let Congress assemble. Let it pro-
nounco at once, and in emphatic terms,
its opinions of the Executive usurpation.
Let it demand the instantaneous re-
moyal Of Rebel officers who may have
been restored previous to its meeting,
in accordance with the "opinion" OF
Stanberry. Let it pass a supplemental
or explanatory act, which Will remove
all doubts as to the powers conferred
under the laws already in existence
Then, if the President continues obsti-
nate and unyielding, let it proceed to
exercise the authority vested III it by
the Constitution; sc decisiyely as to
prove, once for all, that no officer Of
United States Government can with
impunity exceed the line of his duty,
or trench upon the functions reserved
to other departments.

ARLISoroS, June u, 1867.

ARLINGTON, june IL, 1867.
A Teachers Institute has Just closed in this place
which has been in session for the last two days.
The Secretary Of the Board, though looking some
what care>worn, manifested nearly his usual energy
aud perseverance in the conduct Of the Institute
As usual, he presented to the minds Of tn, people
Tor would have done SO, had they been present,
some very poten t truths in regard to their neglects
and delinquencies in their management of the pub
lie schools. And in his clear and forcible manner
illustrated to the teachers present how, by the exer-
else Of their own inventive genus, they may ac-
complish much more for their pupils than they can
DO by the usual methods Of conducting Rotations.
Il estimated that there were about one hundred and
thirty in attendance on these exercises. And one
must find It difficult to convince himself that any
teacher, who is at all awake to the responsibilities
Of the profession, can have failed to receive valua.
bic suggestions, which will result IN the gradual i'm.
provemeut Of the schools. The forenoon Of Tues.
day was devoted to the examination 81 such Of the
teachers as were wiling to become candidates for
State certificates. some twenty came forward for
this purpose, ami that fact ia itself /. an honor to
them, though the may not aoS receive such certi>
hcate. HIS IS a new feature IN our school system,
and one well calculated 10 elevate the standard Of
real qualification Ia our teachers.
AT the close d the Institute to-day, the following
resolution we're unanimously adopted BY the teach
ers and friends d education present;
ResofUed, That cur thanks are due. and are here
by cordially rendered, 10 the Secretary Of the Board
Of Education for bis interesting and able instructions
and recommendation 10 relations 10 the best meth
DDS Of teaching and managing our schools.
Rts@sed, That We tender to the Bennington &
Rutland Railroad Company our gratitude for heir
generosity IN furnishing free return tickets ever their
road 10 the members Of the Institute.
Received. That We tender to the people Of Airing
ton our thanks Tor their free and cordial entertain
ment during the session d The Institute.
Rsscaged, That the publishers Of the MANCHESTER
Journal and the BeHsiNei0a BasHar are hereby re.
ques,ed 70 publish these resolutions IL their respec-
tive papers.
