baggage car and the rear truck Of the passenger

Of which has just been issued by Med. LanctOt Of

A REMEDY FOR Dull TIMEs.-Ifone thing more
than another is indispensable in these days of
pushing, driving business men, it is that there
should be far more general advertising Every
aid to catch the notice Of customer should be
resorted to, and this is the greatest one ever in
vented. We have no patience with the narrow
minded views that prevail on this subject among
so many business men, who seem to regard ad-
vertising as a mere favor to the newspaper, in
stead Of what il Is "a mean Of securing addtionals
business. Without judicious advertising very
few business men prosper. With it we all know
Of the immense successes achieved. Do not sit
down and wait fer your customers Seek them
out wherever they are by known, and generally
established means, Of which we know Of none
equal TO advertising.-Phiia. North american.
Good advice. If anything is well established,

FARM For SALE.-Under this head in another
column, may be found an important announce
nent to any party in want of a first class farm,
amid hrst-class surroundings. 1t is the advertise
ment Of Mr.. f. Whitney, to which We refer. and
the farm offered for sale is the second to none in
Chittenden county so far as our knowledge ex-
tends. 1t Is situated on the main thoroughfare
just out Of the village Of Williston, where NAV
be enjoyed all the advantages Of churches, good
schools and unexceptionable society This farm
IS one upon which Mr. Whitney has resided for
many years, and under his supervision has been
brought into a state Of rich cultivation and sup
piled with about all the modern conveniences.-
In short, this is a rare opportunity to secure a
most desirable farm.
We would also direct attention to the adver-
tiseinent Of Mr. J. s Cilley, who announces his
late homestead in williston village, 'for sale or
to rent The place is pleasantly located, and
made attractive by the general air Of comfort
and convenience which surrounds it. Probably
Mr.. Cilley has been induced TO put this place into

The forthcoming number Of the Historical
Magazine will contain Gen Lees full official
report of the " Invasion Of Pennsylvania and the
battle Of Gettysburg
During the retreat from Petersburg and Rich
mond in April, 1865, all the papers belonging to
the Confederate commander were burnt in one
Of the headquarters wagons, under the antici-
patton that it would fail into the hands Of the
Union force. 1t happened, however, that the
manuscript report Of the invasion Of Pennsylva-
MIA and the battle Of the Gettysburg was on the
person on one Of Lees staff officers. Thus pre-
served, it now sees the light for the first time
An abstract Of the document is furnished to the
N I. Times by Mr.. William Swinton, who has
possession Of the manuscript. 1t contains little
in addition 10 the information previously in pos
session Of the historians OF the battle, except the
evidence that Lees purpose in his march into
Pennsylvania. lr1s 10 cross the SusquehGHHa
and more upon Harrisburg, and probably Phi
ladelphiG. He had at one time it seems, actu-
ally issued orders to march upon Harrisburg.
Gen Lee does not state his loss at Gettysburg
though the report was prepared long after the
battle, further than to say that it very large
1t is therefore probable that no authorized state
ment of the rebel loss will ever be made. 1t was
SO heavy that it was kept secret by the rebel
general, and will probably never be definitely
known.

In order to remove the dissatisfac-
ton expressed against the present
postage stamp, the Postmaster Gen
eral proposes to change them, and
with this view he has directed the
Bank Company which furnishes them
to prepare the designs for new issues.
The heads of Washington, Jackson,
Franklin, Lincoln and Jefferson are
to be restored, in place of the present
designs, to be represented as profile
busts, each to represent the various
denominations. The stamps are to
be larger than those now in use and
oblong. Instead of $50 being printed
on a sheet there will be only 100.
The former color-red-wil also be
restored. A month or two may
elapse before the new stamps will be
ready.
SO says the Register; and we are
powerful glad of it," What on
earth the new stamps were ever in
troduced for, is more than we can
imagine. They are an abominable
nuisance; and the sooner they are
retired, the better.
