The earth Is fair beneath the peace Of May, i
And Freedom keeps her conseerated shrine,
While reverently Columbia saith to-day,
"Oh, martyred dead, our flowers and tears are
thine!''
On stored battle-plain, on churchyar1 green,
In wayside glen, where fall the silent hours,
From shore to shore, where patriots graves are
seen,
Oh, strew them kindly with the Springs
young flowers
Bring richest fragrance from the hill and dell,
From cultured beds whose beauty lures the
eye,
And in thy heart of hearts let homage dwell,
For him who girt the sword to win or die
Who proudly bore the stern array of war,
Nor faltered when grim Death was marching
past;
Who saw with fading eye, the strife affair,
With victory for his prayer, cen 10 the last
Heroes, We stand if in historic light,
Or paths unsung, the wine-press ye have
trod,
The characters on Heavens roll-call are brigh
Of lives lain down for Freedom and fol
God
Our hope beside thee hath picture wrought
OF marching hosts ON yon celestial shore,

first case tried was Wm. D. Henry T. +.

horse died and as plaintiff claimed. by

plaintiff only Tor tie value 81 tile nc Of
the horse cor thr distance b, drove more
than ''about fifteen inile., which verdict
carried the cost also against defendant.
The case on trial now j, that q Love Y.
L. J. Lampson, Of Windsor. The defend
ant is of the firm OF 4. G. Lampson Is Co
This Company has the labor Of the state
prisoners.
Plaintiff Is a Clergyman, who bought an
interest in Lampson's company, and saws
he thought, when he traded, that Lamp
son was Deacon tof Shelburn Falls
Mass but finds, 10 his sorrow. that he i
not tie Deoco7', but very different man.
and that by reason Of false representa-
lions made to him as to the value Of the
company stock, he has lost large sum Of
money. Hence the suit TO recover az
'Lampson for his losses. From the maeni-
tude of the figures involved, the case is
one OF Importance TO the parties inter
ested.
MoRAL.-When clergymen deal with
Deacons, they should be certain that they
are real Deacons, and enquire for their
certificate of conservation and election.
The old docket numbers 226 cases. The
new one covers about 90, exclusive of the
ohancery suits. Many-perhaps a ma
lority of all these-are collecting suits.
and though of more Importance, really.
than most of the litigated cases, never
make any show outside of the court
room, and hardly there except at the
clerks desk.
by the way, Mr.. Editor, allow me to
speak word of the successor of the
" model clerk" Capt. George B. French,
who now holds the clerical pen, and fills
the seat so late and so long occupied by
that good man, Norman Williams, has

work out freedom to the oppressed and
no compromise would please him, and no
peace could be conquered, but when his
purposes were made the purposes Of the
Government the seal of victory rested on
our armies. We all remember the great
heat of the summer of 1864, and now we
all feared that pestilence and famine were
to be added to the miseries Of war and the
nation was disquieted, then while the ele-
ments and all things combined had
created the most dismal forebodings
among the people, the enemies OF free in
situations nominated men for Office whose
election would tend to the most disas-
trous consequences, this in the then state
of public feeling created the required agi-
tation, and the hand of God was manifest
in working out the destiny Of the nation,
and then again the armies marched to
victory, and the Government was saved,
and men could see that their prayers for
80 years were answered, and Wa were
brought out of darkness and bondage to
the daylight of freedom through sea OF
blood.
In the next place we hold these memo
rial services to show our utter LEGISLATION
of treason, whether north or south, and to
hand down to orr children and our chill
drens children our detestation of reason
and of traitors, again we desire to evince
our grateful remembrance of the brave
men who have lost their lives upon the
altar of their country. We feel that the
dead bodies committed to us by tie war
are a sacred trust, and that the
remembrance of their valor and
the cause for which they gave
their life must be kept green M the
memory of coming generations. These
are the purposes of these exercises, and
to these ends we to-day cover the graves
Of our fallen heroes with flowers but in
paying this tribute of respect to the dead,
we do not forget the living, and here
wish to say to the members of Pos; Ro-
berts No. If Of the Department of Yer
mont, Grand Army of the Republic, that
we honor them equally with the dead,
that the gratitude of our hearts are as
deep towards the living as the dead. The
speaker here delivered glowing tribnte
to the returned soldiers from the Union
armies, eulogised the other societies who
were present taking part in the exercises
of the occasion, for the noble purposes OF
their orders and closed by a noble appeal
to all to seek through the religion Of
Christ a final resting place among the
elect and home in glory.
The choir sung a voluntary hymn, and
tie Rev. Prof Buckham pronounced the
benodiction.
The procession then formed on Court
and Center streets with carriages, the
clergy and the Rutland Choral Society in

such an occasion. He proposed to make
no lengthy address, the city of the dead
was place for meditation rather than for
expression; thought is deeper than
speech, and feeling is deeper than
thought, and we are here NOV
ed by feelings that makes words
appear weak and powerless. No comrade
can tell how valuable to him was the
valor which gave to death those who fell.
Their death on many occasions was the
safety of th2se who escaped the death
dealing hail and flashing steel, and we re-
gard every soldiers grave as memorial
of personal favors from a comrade. Time
may soften poignant grief, but in the
breast of the manly, feeling of obliga-
ton for personal favors lasts forever, and
the memory of departed comrades can new
err be forgotten. The generous emotions
of the heart require expression, and we
give expression to our feelings of graft
tude by strewing flowers upon the last
resting place of our dead. We do not
seek thereby to honor them, for their
names are garlanded in glory, as in their
death they won all honor; but we pay
this tribute of respect to honor ourselves,
and to give expression to the grateful
emotions of our hearts. The close com
partnership created by a service Of com
mon danger, trial and labor, creates a
bond never to be forgotten, and we hope
that the reveille of the resurrection morn
will reunite our ranks above, though our
bodies are scattered here below.
The sacrifices made by these brave men
were the measure of price demanded for
a nations life That price has been paid
and the nation is saved, and we find upon
these stones many names whom we and
the State delighted to honor. Their price
less lives were your sacrifice to the nation,
but in this memorial occasion we pay the
same tribute of respect to the untitled
brave as to the titled chief, we drop the
tear of mourning and deposit the tribute of
affection on the tomb of comrade and a
benefactor, they who have completed their
work and performed the patriots last
duty. Their tombs are the Mecca to
which we shall ever repair. Parents will
bring their children to point out the rest
ing places of those who fell to save the
nation, and young men will seek them for
inspiration in the battle OF life, but how
feeble are words, nothing can 80 well ex-
press the deep feelings Of this occasion a.
the deep eloquence Of silence. The
+ speaker closed his address, several graves
! that had previous been marked 10y a small
/ flag to denote that they contained the
mortal remains of soldiers were decorated
with flowers, and two beautiful crosses
of lilac and the Lilly of the Valley, in
scribud to the brave soldiers who sleep in
unknown graves, was placed on pro-
minent rock in the midst Of the cemetery.

True Eloquence does not consist, as
the rhetoricians assure us, in saying great
things in a sublime style, but in simple
style for there is, properly speaking, no
such thing as a sublime style, the sublim-
ity lies only in the things; and when
they are not so, the language may be
turgid, affected, metaphorical, but not af-
fecting.

"Tia man - red nffhe bite,
Tho dug d was that died"


1t seems 10 me the Freeman gives quite
too much encouragement TO the boilers
from the Petersburg convention. Gen.
Wells, a man Of uuquestioned ability and
integrity, and of uutiring devotion To the
party, a Republican of. the Sumner and
Stevens school, was nominated by over
five-sixths Of all the voters in the conven-
/ ton. 1t was then the plain duty Of the
minority 10 submit Yet, bent on mis-
! chief, a mere handful in the convention,
they put Walker into the field also. At
this juncture the willy old Democratic
leaders, who never yet surrendered and
never will, deeming their case utterly
hopeless with their old candidate, who
was an officer in the rebel army, dropped
him, and AZ once set themselves about the
capture OF Walker, with which TO mask
as much as possible the real issue, and
make obscure the vital questions in the
canvass And yet the Freeman asserts
that this man, who has thus lent himself
TO the work of disorganizing his party,
and finally to the full fellowship OF the
opposition, Is entitled to be called "radi-
cal.' Such course in Vermont would
stamp man as anything but sound, and
why net in Virginia .
In stating the strength of these two cam
didates, the Freeman comedies to Wells
of the Northern adventures, who have
made politics their trade and claims as
Walkers friends " the natives from whose
eyes the scales have fallen, and the large
class who have gone to make Virginia
their home"
Not caring to answer the fling at every
Vermonter in Virginia, in the term
" Northern adventurers," and not only at
Vermonters but at almost every Northern
man, for with but few exceptions, all such
support the regular ticket, il is vet mys
terry, who, besides, the adventurers- con-
stitute "thc large class who have gone to
make Virginia their home !" unless, in.
deed. it be the rest of mankind long

in its stealth, threatens to overwhelm

Experiments in Wheat Culture.

member of Wisconsin Farmers Club communicates the following to the American dgricliHris:
 Field No 1.-Two bushels to the acre was sown with the broadcast sower and culivator combined. and the seed was planted at all depths, from the surface to or inches deep.
 FIsla No. 2-was sown with \ common wheat drill, east and west, one and a quarter bushels being used to tke acre, planted about 2t inches deep.
 FYeld No. 3.--Three pccks of seed were drilled in, east and west, 2f inches deep, and Is inches apart. It was cultivated but once, when about foot high, with q 5-toothed walking cult.yat t0r, at an expense of sl per acre.
 The results are thus stated: "No. was good wheat, not damaged by heat, head me- digm in length, wei filled, stood thick upon the ground. Was unequal, some straws 5 and ( feel in length, and some only feet. Some heads were very green. while others were Hpe. The yield IS estimated at from 30 to 25 bushels per acre. No. ? was of a better oolor during growth than No, l. Very even in straw and degree of ripeness. Heads about even, of extra length. Bgndles very heavy, and the yield is estimated at 90 bush els per acre. No. was extra at all times. Its usual deep green color and broad leaves attracted much attention. No one supposed it the same kind of grain as lots 1 and ?. h stooled out much more than either Nos. l or .. It was uniform in length of straw and degree of ripeness. The heads would average one-third larger than No 1, and the largest and heaviest wheat we ever saw. Strangers here picked fer the smallest heads, and then shelled from 60 10 s0 kernels from each bead Our binders land we bad some from other States who had had much expericnce) said they never saw such large heads or such heavy wheat of this kind, namely. China Tea The yield is estimated at $ or 40 bush els per acre.
 The Club arrives at the conclusion that they have been in the habit of using too mucl seed for spring wheat; that wheat needs cul tivating; that if half bushel of seed were used per acre, and sowed in drills l5 inchc. apart, and thoroughly cultivated, the average crUp of Wisconsin might be doubled. They recommend, moreover, the expenditure oI the price of the seed saved in giving the land . more thorough narrowing. In this they arr wise. There $ nothing to which wheat SC quickly responds as thorough tillage, and i' may be a question whether this should bs done previous to sowing or after the grain < up. There are other interesting objects fol investigation before any one can speak with authority. The exact amount of seed per acre, though depending in a measure upon the kind of wheat and the character of ths soil, may be nearly approximated. The dis tance apart of the drills Is another suhiect for experiment. % inches has been recon mended. IL is difficult 10 calculate between those which are much nearer, and no doub the roots will fill the ground between then at this distance.

CAUSE or HARD IINEs AND Buasxss DE- PRESsIoS.--A commercial journal of New York says thst the prevailing depression and hard times are the result, not of national poy- erfy, but.of had legislation legislation that stimulates the wort species of speculation. and then endeavors to escape its consequent ces; that'foolishly hopes to pay debts with out an honest collection of the revenue; that looks upon the renewal of note as the pay ment Of debt, and that is ready to subsid- ize enterprises of doubtful character. when the money is urgently needed for the liquida- ton of maturing obligations. Wbat is im- perstively demanded, is an honest adminis- tration of the Government. The lavish yearly expenditure, since the close of the war, of millions upon millions of dollars for objects in many eases worse than superfiuous, has been most demoralizing in its influence upon every department of Government, and damaging to the national credit. and there fore ought not longer to be imposed upon a tax-ridden people.
