ONE of the very best evidences of our
rapidly increasing prosperity as q nation
is found in the fact that the sale of our
public lands grows heavier month by
month. From all quarters the Commits
sioner of the General Land Offce re-
ports extraordinary activity in the dis
Posal of the public domain. Hundreds
of local land tices, especially those ia
the Southern S ates which a few years
since did not pay expenses. are now re-
turning handsome balances in favor of
umes for our growing prosperity as a
nation.

he went over eve-y point in the his,or,
of that strange case, demonstrating So
clearly that there was no possible es-

startling. Such is the uniform testimony Of
| those familiar with the subject. The Coo
lies taken to Peru and Cuba never return to
China.
In the Autumn of 1865, an attempt was
made by certain parties in New Orleans to
obtain authority for the importation of Chi
nese. Coolies, and correspondence took
place between them and the Commissioner
of immigration at Washington. In this
correspondence, the Commissioner took the
ground that such importation of persons
bound to service and labor on the planta-
tions of the South would be clearly in oppo-
sition to the spirit and intent of existing
laws, and really injurious to the interests Of
the planter. This letter was approved by
Mr.. Seward, to whom it was submitted, and
for time 1t closed the agitation of this sub
ject.
The solution of this question is an ex-
:remelv simple one. The United States
Government should give to the inhabitants
of China the rights to which they are enc
titled by treaty sripulations. Under these
treaties. they are entitled to free immigration
here, and to prote ction in their persons and
property. Their immigration hither may be
BY such laws as that passed in
1862, and by the regular Passengers acts in
force, but cannot be restricted beyond this
without a violation of obligations entered |
into In good lain. ana the disregard OF
which will give the Chinese good ground for
refusing to observe their part of the stipula-
lions. No part of these treaties binds US to

FTeShet at MOrriSyiIIe.

\ correspondent in Morrisville sends US
some particulars Of the fearful storm which
did so much damage in that vicinity last
Friday. 1t commenced raining about six
O'Clock in the morning and continued for
about three hours with a cOnstancy and
vehemence that astonished even the oldest
inhabitants. whose memories found no pre-
cedent for such a storm in Vermont. On one
little stream, rising near Elmore mountain
and running thence only three miles to La
noble River, Mr.. BOardman's saw mill, val
ued with lumber, &c, at $4,000, was swept
away also Mr.. Lucius SpauldiDg's clapboard
mill. &c, worth $4,000. Besides these,
George Cady's starch factory was damaged
TO the amount of $4,000. On another small
stream west Of the Corners, Capt. Kenfield's
saw mill, valued with the logs, &c, at $4,000
was entirely swept away. On a third brook
Mr.. Potting's tub factory was considerably
damaged and a small building completely
carried away. In the town four or FIVE bridges
were taken off bodily, culverts were washed
out and the highways damaged considerably.
During the storm the thunder and light
ming were continuous and appalling. The
dwelling house Of Seth Sanborn was struck,
but the family happened to be out and little
damage was done. A valuable OK belonging
to William Thorp was also killed by light
ming. The direct damage in Morristown
will not be much less than $4,000, the
greater part falling on a few sufferers.

CLoTHEs-LINE RoBBERY.-Monday night a
pair of tramps, male and female, obtained
lodgings of : Aunt Abigail, near the found
~. During the night they got up a fight
and made such disturbance that Abigail
went for Sheriff Brown, but on returning
with him they had vanished. Early Tuesday
morning Lewis Wood was aroused by some
unusual noise, and accommodating discovered
the pair robbing P. Rourke's clothes-line.
Mr.. Wood gave chase and after some resist
ance captured the thieves and turned them
over to ar officer, who provided them with
accommodations at Tailor Camps.
Almost DEowNED.-The five years old
daughter Of Lonis Smith, living on Franklin
Street near the tannery had a narrow escape
from drowning Monday afternoon. She had
been sent by her mother to get some water
from a tub flush with the ground. 1t ap-
pears that the little thing lost her balance,
ar she was found lying partly on the ground
with her head and shoulders under water.
After considerable exertion she was r%esusci-
tated, and though suffering considerably, is
now out of danger.

which commenced at Barre Monday, Aug.

roads pretty badIyin Worcester, making them
impossible for teams, in places and Mr..
Barnes, the mail contractor on the Montpelier

mail on his back for several miles between
Elmore and Worcester. The farm bridge of
Selden Wiley was carried away. TIL boom
at the saw mill Of VIM. Bruce, Jr., broke
away, he losing 400 or 500 mill logs and a
portion Of his dam. The pier under the
bridge at Worcester Corner was also carried
away. Some Of the farms on the branch
were pretty badly washed, and piles of Put
MANS mill logs were left in the grain fields
along the river.
