s. GoNsULsuIP.-We are pleased to
aa hat our long time friend, Hon. Luz
"A Il, f. Smith of Monkton, has received
. appointment of United States Consul
81 st. John, Province of Quebec. Mr.,
smith was for several years Grand List
Clerk of the Vermont Legislature. He
has also been a member of the House, and
was for two years member of the Senate
from Addison county. He is a clerical,
.fioient and upright business man. He
is an accomplished French scholar, and
seems eminently fitted to perform the Pc
oalar duties Of this important position.
The Office is an honorable and lucrative
one. We wish Mr.. Smith as much popu-
larity in his new relations as he has sus-
aimed among the people of Vermont, and
success and reward in the performance of
its duties.

l do not desire, by anything said in my
last, to be understood as indicating that
corporations may not, under certain e1-
igenoies, be necessary and useful. If
properly managed they may indeed, prove
a public benefit. They have thus proved
in many instances. But we should never
lose sight of the fact that the public good
is not their great and leading object.
We should bear in mind that if the law
or the Constitution affords them opportu-
nity they are certain to improve it. The
public welfare will inevitably be sacrificed
if essential to promote their interests Ii,
for illustration, there is no law limiting
the rate of freight and passenger fare on
Railroads then those rates will be Just SO
high as will, in the estimation OF the man
ayers of these corporations, put the ns0Ss
money into their treasury. That the peo-
pie are oppressed, or even ground to pow
der by these corporations, will not weigh
feather in the scale. Nothing short OF

KILLED BY A HORsE.-Alfred Briggs,
ESD, of Factory Point was killed on Sat
urday by a stallion He was brother Of
the late Gov. George N. Briggs, of Pitts
field, Mass, and for many years a hotel
keeper at Factory Point. He was a man
# influence in Manchester, and a good
jizen. He was fond of a horse, and al
ways kept u good one. The one that
killed him was one that he had kept for a
long time, and had always petted him.
II seems the horse went at him deliberate
Iy with his fore feet, aud paved him to
death. He was buried on Monday.
We give the above as corrected ac-
count of the death of Mr.. Briggs, as our
account in Tuesdays paper was gathered
from rumor.

PoTAToEs.-The soil and climate of
Vermont is peculiarly adapted to the sue
cessful cultivation of the potato. On
an average three bushels can be grown to
one of corn, and this at much less drain
upon the soil. For the potato tops if
thrown into the dung heap or if plowed
under green return, according to Bousen-
gault, much larger amount of potash
and ammonia than the tubers take from
the ground. Great attention has been
given to the production of new seedlings.
We think that beyond all question Yer
mont carries off the palm in this respect.
1t seems to be the common Judgment of
the whole country that the early Rose is
the very best potato grown. Its great ex-
cellenoies are. 1st. Its productiveness. We
think the experience of the last two years
has attested that it yields third more
than any other sort. I'd. Its early ripe
ming. Thus giving to the farmer the
choice of season for harvesting and mar
keting. Ripening in August or Septem-
Der, they can be dug before the fall frosts
and rains. Sd. Their quality. This I'M
surpassed. They are mealy and fine flavor
ed, and at this date, May Cd, they
bust open when boiled, are dry and
mealy, when most other kinds begin to
grow tough and soogey. 9th. They grow
compactly in the hill and are easily
dug. 9th, They bear manuring without
tendency to rotting, and 18th, they bring
to-day in all the markets nearly double
the price of other kinds for eating. They
sell at 20 cents by the car load when
other kinds are dull at 80 cents The
seed is now cheap. Mr.. John Landon
and Mr.. Mandigo offer them for sale at
Que dollar the bushel. We advise all our
friends to plant them largely, to make
them their main crops, and for the simple
reason that all things considered they are
the mo t profitable kind that can be raised.
FELL IN A FIT.-We regret to learn
that the venerable Hon. J. S. Pettibone of
Manchester fell in fit in that village on
Saturday, aud his condition was critical
at last accounts. Judge Pettibone is a
well known citizen of Bennington county,
and is upwards of so years of age. He
was in town on Fast Day, and in attend
ance at the services at the Baptist church,
looking vigorous and hale for one of his
advanced years.

PARIS. May 8


PARIS, May 3.
The Journal Officiel denounces the tao
tics of the revolutionary journals in seek
ing to make their readers believe there
has been no conspiracy, and declares it
the duty of the government to warn the
public against the effect of such editorial
tricks. The Journal adds: "This con-
spiracy is part of that of last winter,
the investigation into which has been so
protracted. When the examinations are
terminated, and they soon will be, the
public will know all, and be able to APP
prehend the danger in which the country
has been placed"
Olivier, in letter to the M01aateatr, as
sures the editor that the Government will
not fall into the policy of reaction, though
obliged to take offensive measures against
its enemies. He hopes this frank answer
will dissipate the fears expressed by the
N01l5teuT.
The Rappel publishes a manifesto from
Garibaldi to the French army, calling on
the soldiers to raise the flag of revolution.
The police are searching for M. Ballot
who, they say, is implicated in the con-
spiracy. Ballot was an officer of Carl
baldi and is his warm friend.
Gustave Flourens, maker of bombs, who
was seized by the police, says they were
ordered for America 1t is reported they
were to be used for wheels of a patent We
locipede.
LATER.
A serious riot occurred yesterday at
st. Quintin, caused by the arrest of
member of the international society. Two
thousand workmen attacked the national
guard and gendesarmes, stationed around
the prison to which the man had been
taken. The guards held their ground,
though d number were wounded. The
Project, the commanding General, and
the Procureur, came to their relief with
detachment of regular troops, when the
mob was dispersed and order restored.
To-day the Project and the General held
a review, and they thanked the troops and
national guard for causing the laws to be
respected.

To-Day.

Tomorrow is too far away,
A bed of spice the garden is,
Nor bud nor blossom that we miss;
The roses tremble on the stem,
The violets and anemones.
Why should we wait to gather them?
Their bloom and balm are ours to-day;
To-morrew-who can say?
Tomorrow is too far away,
Why shonld we slight the joy complete,
The flower open at onr feet?
For us, to-day, the robin sings,
His curved fight the swallow wings;
For us the happy moments stay.
Stay yet, nor leve US all toe fleet!
FoI life is sweet and youth is sweet,
And love-ah! love is sweet to-day;
To-morrow-who can say?
