The MoRTUARY STATISTICS OF VT. FOR
1S6S.-The Twelfth Registration Report of
the State of Vermont, for the year 1868, pre-
pared By the Secretary of State, has recent
Nv been distribut Its tables of births,
marriages and deaths include returns from
every town in the State, and we shall copy
at length from the interesting statistics so
collected, hereafter An elaborate summary
of the various observations is embodied in
the report, prepared by DR.. L. c. Butler of
Essex. This shows much care and labor, and
is full of interesting statements. Unfortu-
nately, some of these in the light of the
census of 1870 prove to have quite remote
relation to the actual facts. The computa-
tions and comparisons in the report relating
to population are all based on the census of
1860, as they must needs be, no other figures
of population being then available. But ten
years lave male changes in population
which exactly reverse some OF the state
ments.
Thus, the returns show that the death in
the eight east side counties, including La
noble, in 1868 were 1894, and in the six
west side counties 2,0l9. This, says the
summary, shows that the east side OF the
Green Mountains is the healthiest part oil
the State, the deaths being one in 70. 8 Of
the inhabitants on the east side, while on
the west side they were one in 68.S. But
the census shows that in ten years the eight
counties ranked as by the cast side have lost
some $500 OF their population, while the
west side ones have gained over l7,OOO.
This puts the boot on the other leg. 1t the
latter counties had gained but $4,000 up tC
1868, the deaths were actually one IN 74.-
instead of one in 6S 8, and the lceSt side wa'
therefore the healthiest of the two.-Fre'

Vermont Colonization Society.

This Society held its ffty-frst anniversary
in the Hall of the House of Representatives,
in Montpelier, on Thursday evening.
The evening was one of the most inclement
Of the season, and the storm, with hearings
before committees and other meetings, less
ened greatly the attendance, so that quite a
thin audience was present.
Hon. Daniel Baldwin, the President o. the
Society, was in the chair.
The Chaplain not being present, the Secre-
tary opened the meeting with prayer.
Rev. j. K. Converse presented an abstract
of the report of the Board of Managers, and
also a statement of the sums collected and
paid to the parent society during the present
year from Vermont, amounting to 81, IFS So
of the history of the Colony and Republic of
Liberia.
Judge Baldwin then introduced the Hon.
J. IL. b. Latrobe, of Baltimore, President of
the American Colonization Society, who held
the interested attention of his audience for
more than two hours. His address was re-
plete with facts, arguments and illustrations
-sketching the origin and early history of
the Society, justifying the noble aims and
motives of its founders, showing that the
work of spreading a Christian civilization in
Africa must be done mainly by her own re-
turning children, and illustrating by q num-
Der of interesting anecdotes, the Intelligence
and capacity of the native African, as well as
of the colored men of America. A hearty
vote of thanks was given to the speaker at
the close of the meeting, which was one of
high interest and value throughout.-Free

Rev. Nh. BRAsTow's Address BEFORE TIE
BIBLE ocIErY.-The following is the abstract
made by the correspondent of the Free Press
of Rev. Mr.. Brastow's address, last week,
before the Bible Society, to which reference
is made by correspondent in an article
headed % Religion and the State -:
Three classes of citizens object to the
use of the Bible in common schools. LIST,
the Catholics. Their object is to break up
kinds. Their object is TO discredit the Bible.
Sd, Protestants, who believe this the best
way to compromise matters. Some of them
hold the religious view of government, but
Weld to what they call higher necessity.
Others hold the view that the government
should be kept entirely distinct from religion.
There are three manners of argument.
LIST. the prudential one; ID political neces-
sity; Sd, political right. This last is the
real INSTRUMENTATION the government
should have anything to do with religion.
based on religion. All government must be
based on religion. An atheistical govern
ment is a contradiction. Law is force, is
authority-and this implies will. Civil
authority must some way be based on moral
authority. ALI authority must be given to
God. Every authority which we can allow
must have come from on high
Civil government has no right to take
mans life, unless the moral right is given
by God. All authority must be delegated
authority. Government is an instrument of
God to discipline, educate and elevate man
kind. All nations have felt that in some
way power comes from God, and the Bible
most clearly teaches it. This has been gross
ly abused, but it does not vitiate the fact.
I'd, As government has religious basis,
so in some measure it must have a religious
aim. Government only deals with men be-
cause they are moral beings, and it is absurd
to suppose that it is to treat but one side OF
man. 1t must treat man in the totality OF
his character. 1t is the duty of government
to educate her children. This is necessary
for the safety of the government, and it
should educate the whole character. Ii
only leaves part of this to the family and
the church, because they can do better this
work. This is in fact thiestic government.
No theories can dispute that this is the fact
1t is also Christian government.
Again. if one objects conscientiousiy tc
the religious education of his child, his
views should be respected. But the views

We arc Informed that the Argus was too
severe upon the Dartmouth boys who at
tended the funeral of their classmate Rich
ardson, last week. There was, it is true, a
good deal of noise and some rough play at
the Junction, Thursday afternoon. The car
had no fire and most of the boys were with
out overcoats, and 1t was quite natural that
they did not keep quiet. Possibly the very
reaction from the unusual restraint of the
day had something to do with their restless
ness. They were, of course, guilty of bad
manners and great thoughtlessness, but We
understand that their course was most deep
ly regretted as soon as they considered that
it might appear like lack of feeling toward
their classmate, for their grief was most
sincere. We are sure that those acquainted
with the manners of college boys, will con-
Wet them of no greater crime than thought
lessness.

MIR. Bulls committee on retrenchment has
occupied much of the attention of the Legis-
lature during the past week. The diligence
with which the indomitable member from
Hancock has prosecuted his labors, his per-
feet imperturbability in the midst of embar-
easements which must have severely "taxed''
him, the adroitness, shrewdness and sagacity
with which he has questioned unwilling
witnesses, and the manly indignation of con-
scious honesty with which he has repealed
all insinuations of bribery and corruption,
have won for him new laures and given him
a new recommended ion to the economical
citizens of Vermont. A little complaint has
reached our ears of the arbitrary character
of his rulings when disputed by his " advis-
ing committee - but it is necessary at times
to take the bull by the horns. At the con-
clusion of the investigation portion of the
committee proposed to make the following
suggestions to the House
Ist That the House appoint a commit
tee Of three to visit the chambers of the
Treasurer, Auditor of Accounts and Quar-
termaster General, and report whether these

ID. That the Sergeant-at-Arms be direct
ed to preserve sufficient hay from the grass
mown on the Capitol grounds for the keep
ing of one Bull during each biennial session
of the Legislature.
Sd. That the Sergeant-atArms furnish
no more syringes for Senators.
4th. That no more postage stamps be fur
nished the Secretary of State.
5th. That no more red tape be allowed
the First Assistant Clerk of the House of
Representatives,
9th. That the shears furnished to State
officials be shortened three inches.
Mr.. Bull very properly, however, rejected
this report, and has made a report which
states that the committee, after dilligent
investigation, have found that the business
of the State is conducted with fidelity and
economy. Sic Hur at astra.

Miss Lillian Edgarton, who as a lecturer
has achieved much popularity in a very short
time, belongs to a family somewhat dis
tinguished for their literary and oratorical
talents. Her aunt, Mrs. Sarah Edgarton

brother. Professor Warren Edgarton, is well
known as an elocutionist. Her ability comes
as natural to her as her rare beauty.
