their mistress asked them why they did no t

place till curtain was rolled up, and some
ladies and gentlemen began talking about
family matters, when, thinking they had no
business there, they left.

NEw York, May Is.
Dispatches five weeks since, intimating
that crash was impending, have been more
than verified The gold operators have been
fairly pushed into a corner of their own max
ing. Large amounts of bonds sent to Europe
have been returned. Many of the fnanciers
attribute the difficulty to the fact, that Secre-
tary Boutwell, has endeavored to do too much.
Another reason is assigned, and perhaps
the nearest to the truth, to wit: 4" the Sum
ner Speech on the Alabama Claims" A very
large portion of foreign funds are controlled
by foreign residents here, and the belief that
an European war, in some shape, is approach
ing, gains strength every day.
This feeling effects financial circles and
every branch of commerce. Since 1857 there
has not been so much doubt as to the iinan-
cial future as to-day.

SCARCITY or FoDDER.-According to reports
the scarcity of fodder for cattle in some parts
of Franklin and IAmoille counties is terrible.
Large diaries have been ruined, and many farm
ers have had their best cows die off daily for want
81 hay, AMI yet were unable 10 procure any for
them, the bad roads preventing travel. A good
many Of the farmers of Beyidcre who sold hay
last Fall--in expectation of lower prices-for SEQ
per ton, have now to go as far rs Waterville,
Cambridge Borough and johnson TO get their
bay, and have to pay as high as $50 per ton for
81, and, on account of the bad roads, cannot draw
nore than 800 pounds to a load. In Montgomery
the cattle are fairly starving to death for want Of
bay. Yesterday, we are informed, there was not
enough hay in the town to last two days, if d.
sided among those who are out Of fodder Mr..
William 0'Brien, Of Montgomery, has been
obliged to keep his stock on -four, it being i'm
Possible to procure hay or bran for money. A
hr. Lamphier, Of the Gore, has lost three or four
bead Of cattle from starvation, and several Others
have lost from two to four. In Bakersfield the
Farmers are about as bad or, a Mr., Maynard
losing six cows, and Mr.. Hiram Wheelock losing
Two. Hay sells readily at $50 per ton in the
enstorn towns.

Tue VERMONT REToRH ScHooL.-We regret to
learn Of the resignation Of Rev. Aaron G.. Pease
superintendent Of the State Reform School at
Waterbury. We give below a statement Of the
base as given in an article ia the Burlington Free
Press Of Thursday. We fully agree with Mr..
benedict in his criticism OF the conduct Of sub
ordinates in maligning Mr. Peasc, and that the
Trustees should demand the resignation or make
D removal of them at once, aud that the resigna-
bon Of the Superintendent should not be accepted
until now men shall have been fully installed and
IN working order. The loss Of Mr.. Pease is a Sc
rious one - the School, and whatever may have
been his defects in some particulars, his kn0wl-
edge Of the work and his enthusiasm in the cause
cannot be supplied by any new man, however
competent he may he 70 discharge the routine
duties
This movement Of the enemies Of the school ia
their malicious attacks upon Mr., Pease, until he
became determined that be would not longer be
placed in a position 10 be thus ussailed, and has
Rendered his resignation, will be of vast injury 10
the school, IL not cause its failure ultimately.
No friend Of any institution of a rciormat0ry
character can I'LL the place OF its projectors, who
have had its upbuilding and prosperity at heart.
We prophosy that not year will pass before any
new officer that may be appointed will he attack
I'd in the same manner, and the enemies OF the
Institution be demanding a reform again, and
thus the tampering Of its enemies will prove its
downfall. We write ieelingly on this subject, as
we have occasion 10 know of the movements Of
the enemies, even from the first day Of its open
ing. The suggestions Of the Free Press on this
Subject are emnently worthy the consideration of
thc Trustees Of the institution. Rutland Her

NEW ORLEANS.

New ORLEANS, March 1.-THE steam
boat Cuba No. sunk in Red river, be-
tween Shreveport and Jefferson, on the
9th, with FIVE hundred and eighty tales
of cotton. The boat is total loss.
A meeting OF the parties interested is
called at the Chamber of Commerce to-
morrow to take steps to commence the
sales of cotton for gold.
The Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, to whom was submitted the
memorial and petition frem the Phila-
delphia sugar re6ners to Congress for an
increase of the duties on sugar, report
that the present condition of the sugar
refining interests do not seem to require
Congressional aid, and that the sugar
planting interests of the South appear
prosperous enough under the present
tariff not to render an additional duty
necessary, and also that the general SEN
timent of the people is hardly favorable
to a higher duty on sugar, and conse-
quently they cannot recommend petit
ton to Congress for higher duties on any
grade of sugar. The report of the Com
mittee was adopted in the form Of
resolutions
