Iha Rall Road.

Since last week several events Of COZ
siderable interest have happened favora-
bic to our great project. The directors
have all been at work like beavers, and
most of them have very tangible evidon-
ces to exhibit as the result Of their labors.
Mr.. Hcndee falling in with Hon. I. ",
Park, offered him the subscription book
and solicited subscription, and he unhes-
itatingly responded by subscribing for 90
shares. A. W. Griswold, Of n. =, and
owner ofthe Malvern Farms, took ! 5 shares,
and will take 25 mere, il necessary,
which we think very liberal in him
In Worthwhile Johnaon, and YYolcott d
good number Of subscriptions, Of enc share
and upwards to f7o shares, have been Ia
ken and the most enthusiastic feeling is
manifested. a meeting Of the Directors
is called at Cambridge on the 9th prox,
and town meeting III that town the same
day. Another meeting is 10 be held il
Wolcott on Saturday eve. next, and a
movement is Oh foot to hold Meeting in
Eden. Indeed, the valley seems tho
roughly aroused, and determination, is
manifested which seems tbe best augury
of success.
Our friends in Franklia county are
equally on the alert. Smanton aud High
gate have had their town meetings, and
voted by overwhelming majorities, to re-
move the objectionable conditions from
their subscription contracts, and private
subscriptions are being freely taken. Up
to this time, everything has moved more
smoothly forward than VIC could have al.
ticipated. Three weeks more Of such
work and such success and the work Of
our hearts viii be accomplished.

The gutter-Tub Question.

A. r. Bailey, Esq, of Elmore, who
BY the by, the lst premium buttcr-make
in this county and perhaps State, and ha
been for years past, is the inventor of
Tub which has been 20 well advertised il
this and other papers, that our reader
must know something Of it already W.
do not profess to know whether butter j
better kept under brine or not. Upor
this question there seems to be some di
versity of opinion among dairymen ant
large and practical dealers in the article
The letter of Messrs. Jon. Bigelow & Co.
published in our last weeks tissue, show.
that they have great faith in the brine the
DRY and in Bailey's tub as the means o.
carrying out their theory. They offer !
cents more on the pound for butter put W
in Bailey's tub, than for butter put up il
the old style tubs. This shows confidence
Five cents on the pound on an ordinary
tub of 50 pounds after deducting the ex.
ira 5 cents cost of tub, makes the pretty
little difference of SO 20 in favor of the
Bailey tab--whch item multiplied by so,
fair annual product of dairy of is good
COWS, would make the handsome sum OF
$l35. But wo will not indulge ourselves
in figures. Admitting the theory that
butter is best preserved under brine, we
can hardly conceive Of anything more sim
pie and effective than Mr.. Bailey's Tub.
To those persons, then, who accept the
brine theory, we can most confidently re-
commend Mr.. Bailey's tub as SO perfectly
simple, cheap and effective as to leave
nothing to desire. He has already sold
many rights, and we have no doubt he will
realize, as the inventor Of every really
useful article should, ample reward for his
sevices. 1t the man who shows us how TO
make two blades of grass grow where only
one grew before i public benefactor--
and we believe he is--so is the man who
helps us to make our butter bring us five
cents, or even one cent, more per pound
than it otherwise would, equally SO f; and
We rejoice when we see such man reap
the rich reward of his labors. IF Mr..
Baily's tub is what many dairymen whorc
letters we have read claim ii, we would
not think it too much, should he get but
ei.tu5 full of grecnbacks for every State
n the Union.

t;ous gentleman did not fail, ftom time to

this wonderful tree
So. there was the muff for the young
lady the muller for the man; there was
the book for the reader; the doll for the
little singer; there was the sled for the
miss, and the axe for the boy; SO, too, the
beautiful writing-desk and the superb al
bum. Nor was this distribution confined
to the children and youth others had gifts
suited to their years.
One gift more, | wish to name. twas
a goblet of rich material, and elaborate
finish, received by Rev. Mr.. Oxnard. 1t
would not require great exercise Of the
imagination to see in this tasteful, but
unique gift, beautiful emblem of unity
between pastor and people through long
years to come. y.

rslnirei b. our legislature. Out OF bu'
s'ness, be drank heavily and soon began
TO mortgage his property. Six years
passed away, ana he died, leaving his
widow with one ciili, without q dollar,
for his creditors had foreclosed even to
the homestead. Taa noble woman imue-
diately tooi in o,xing to earn her living,
but toanl that she :oald hardly keep soul
and bsay together BY that means. Some
friends Of her fathe, and husband offered
to aid and assist her, but she would receive
nothing SO long as she could help herself
She, however, would be thankful for as
distance in procuring her a position as a
teacher in one Of the public schools. Ap-
plication was made and--would you be-
lieye it?--some Of the school directors op-
posed her appointment because her dead
husband was a secessionist. They cared
not that her father was the peer Oh oIay
aud Webster !; that her brother-in.law
wore the shoullar-straps Of major.gene-
raj. They knew her husband in his life
time, and had felt ths lash of his bitter
tongue, and therefore desired to harm bis
widow. Their efforts were uuavailing.--
She was appointed, and is now engaged
in the public school department Of this
city, teaching a primary class. A sad
change in the fortunes Of one who started
in life with such brilliant prospects. She
is a true and noble woman, however, and
every one who reads this paragraph will
praise her for her h9roiaa ana aeyo.ion.-~--

Correspondence.

Mr.. EDITOR :--In looking over this
weeks Newsletter, our special attention
was arrested BY the interesting remarks
Of your correspondent, IS" 1t would
hardly seem possible that in this cni,ght-
ened age Of intellectual advancement, il.
should be necessary 10 moot a question
for public consideration, the affirmative OF
which must inevitably receive the sanction
Of every intelligent and reasonable person.
What, we would ask, is the legitimate
work of the teacher? Is il not to chi.
ploy every accessibi, means within his
reach TO secure the hight't degree of men
tai Improvement Of these entrusted 10 his
care? Every parent who has any proper
conception Of the Importance ana a0yan-
tagc of the intellectual progress Of then
children will endeavor to aid, rather than
hinder their teacher in his arduous work.
Those parents who object to their chill
dren being required by their teachers to
write compositions, indicate very clearly
that they have very little experimental
knowledge of the advantages Of the prac-
tice. 1t is, doubtless, IF properly used)
one Of the most cfIectual means Of mental
discipline, and that, together with the
practice of defamation, should be uhiver-
sally practiced in District Schools, and
all teachers who enforce such a practice
should receive the appreciation Of all pa
rents.
While scholars are provided with ap-
proved school books, from which they
should be required to get their daily les
sons, our statutc-books aye not disgraced
BY any law which forbids a teacher using
other means Of mental Improvement for
the benefit of his pupils, if he thinks prop
er. One would almost think by the course
which some parents pursue in regard to
schools that the sentence Of the "Dred
Scott Decision" has been passed upon
teachers; but, strange as it may seem to
some, they actually have rights which
white people are bound to respect" and
if they are not disposed to respect them,
they have no moral right to place their
children under their instruction.
No teacher who has any self,respect, OF
means 70 maintain the dignityof his Office,
will allow himself to become tool in the
hands Of parents. While he should avoid
all unjust or unnecessary exercise of disci.
pine or authority, which would subject
his pupils to arbitrary dictation, he should
at thc same time be Grm and uncompro.
missing in the enforcement Of all rules and
regulations which have for their object
the good of his pupils, irrespective of al
outside interference, and if such course
makes him the subject Of parental adju'
dication, it is of very little consequence
provided he enjoys the approval of clear
conscience.
1t is great pity that such parents as
find it 80 difficult to be suited with their
teachers should ever find it necessary te
send their children away from the supe-
rior advantages Of home training.

Byron N. McKinstry, Hyde Park
boy, and one well remembered for his stu
dious and industrious habits in early life
here, sends us circular from which we
learn that he is engaged in making the
desert blossom, away in Kankakeo Co.,
Illinois. Fruit and Ornamental Trees are
advertised, and we are led to believe that
he is driving a large and prosperous bust
ness in his line.
We are glad to hear from our old friend,
and hope be leads very thornless life in
his peaceful vocation.

Particular Noti.e,

AS we now 60 to preas On Tuesdays in
stead of on Wednesdays as formerly, it is
necessary for our correspondents to take
netice OF the fact that communication
which do not reach US until Monday night
are not in season for tho paper Of that
week. The mail from johnson and below
reaches US on Monday morning and is well
enough; but Communications from Stowe,
Morristown and al towns east, can not
reach us by any mail later than Saturday
night, in season for the next paper. We
have been obliged to make this change in
our publication day to accommodate the
running Of the mails. If we do not have
our down-tho-r.yo. edition ready for the
Tuesday nights mail, We can not send it
uutil Thursday night, aud thus it would
not reach the lower part of the ccun
ty until Friday or Saturday. 1t is
the same wita the up-the-rivef towns
Morristown, Elmorc and Wolcott--must
be ready for the Wednesday mornings
mail or We have no chance to send il again
until Friday morning. 50 you see the
change of publications day was necessity.
We have several times before given short
notices of this change; bat al many seem
not to understand it yet, we MAKE this
somewhat lengthy explanation. To en-
sure Insertion in the rert paper, commit
nicatons must reach rs By Monday Morn
ing.

CHRISTMAS EVE Was appropriately cell
cbratcd in the Universalist Church at
Morrisville, by religious services and the
distribution of presents from two large
trees, which were literally loaded with
the offerings of friendship both to the old
and the young Many useful and very
valuable gifts were bestowed, as well
as the ornamental and the pleasing. II
was estimated that the trees bore articles
of more than $500 in value. All hearts
were made glad, and the occasion was
both profitable and joyous. Con-.

Two young men in Emore, recently
have been celebrating their nup-
tails by being drunk most Of the time for
3 or A weeks. Another fast young man
in the same town went to the town agent
and procured quart of liquor under false

A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. weeks since, we
spoke of the presence of the Rev. S. A.
Parker in our village. As result of that
visit, last week, Mr.. Geo. G. Arms, the
enterprising marble man, of Waterbury,
erected in our cemetery, by the remains
of the late DR.. Ariel Huntoon very fine
monument. 1t ADDS much to the beauty
Of our cemetery. The monument is sim
pie and beautiful. It's massivencss places
it beyond a thousand accidents of which
the ordinary head stones are the subjects.
While the obelisk was erected by the hand
of affection, in memory of their departed
father, we think it will be looked upon as au
evidence of the good taste ofthe children,
as we'll as credit to Dir. Arms who
made it.

A Railroad for Stowe.

In our multuua-in-parco column, We
have alluded to the subject Of wooden
Railroads, and it seems TO us that the
subject is worthy Of serious consideration
in connection with the scheme Of Rail-
road from Waterbury to Stowe, or even
to Hyde Park or Morristown, when desir-
able. Those who know from practical ex-
perieuce, testify to their great utility.
Applications for charters for several Of
these roads are now before the Canadian
Parliament, and are very favorably com.
mented upon by the Canadian papers
One Of the great advantages of such
roads is the fact that the natural features
Of the country through which they pass
can be conformed to, thus obviating all
deep cuts and filla No expensive bridg-
e. are necessary either, because high
rate of speed is not anticipated-l5 to 20
miles being the maximum, and light en-
gines only are used. Such Rail-
road would be great blessing to the
town Of Stowe for instance, and she could
build it entirely within herself, for LEES
per cent. tax on her grand list, than the
towns through the valley have voted in
aid of our great project. Good friends of
Stowe, we ask nothing for the suggestion,
but really believe il places a much desir-
ed object easily within your grasp. Talk
il up.

To the Editor of the Press:
The "Jacksonian", Col. Smart's campaign
Democratic paper, has made its appearance
but that letter of DR.. Gacelon, accepting the
Democratic Congressional nomination, is still
a thing of promise only. The Jacksonian how
ever, says it shall publish the document next
week. So we must content ourselves, as best
we cam for seven days longer Il Hal
Here is specimen: A young gentleman
who resides in Auburn, and is a graduate OF
Colby University, was on the point of going
to Kentucky for the purpose of teaching in a
large private school; but this week he received
a letter from the Principal, advising him not
to come, so bitter is the feeling against the
North and all Northern teachers. What else
is to be expected of State that gives $4,000
Democratic majority and taboos every Union
man, putting none but rebels into office?
And here is confirmation: A gentleman
whom have known these dozen year, AMI
who has lived longer than that in the city OF
Wilmington, N. c., has just been visiting
friends in Lewiston. He says that, in North
Carolina the hostility against men from the
North was never, at any time, so intense as
now. stQyf --J f. seai5ag -
Again: Two or three days since the best
informed Democrat in this county said to me-
in a frank conversation: 81 have no doubt
that an overwhelming reaction against Repub-
lican rule is near at hand. OF this have no
fear; but am fearful that it will degenerate
into retaliation of the worst kind" He knows
how the Democracy feel, and is certainly a
good judge of what they would do, if they
We're in power. What they are now doing in
Kentucky, North Carolina and throughout the
South is onlya premonitory symptom of the
yet worse things they have in their hearts to
do, the moment they obtain the power. e
