FINE OATs.--Otho S. Lee Esq, shows us
some stalks Of oats, grown upon his farm
near Aberdeen, in this county, which meas
ure five feet in length, and contain from liz
to 1875 grains in each head. They are of the
Black variety, and Mr.. Lee informs us that
the entire field which he has planted stands
we'll and he expects more than ordinarily
large yield from his crop. These oats are
not affected by any symptoms of blight OF
disease as yet, and indeed we have not heard
of complaints in regard to the oats crop from
any section of the county, so that the average
yield will probably be large one.
We also noticed fine field of oats on the
farm of Parker H. Lee, Esq, near Thomas
Run, part of which was of the Norway
variety, and which promised an unusually
large yield

LIFE IN UTAH OF the Mysteries and Grimes
of Mormonism. BY j. H. Beadle, Editor
of the ".SdH Lake Reporter"
We are in receipt of a copy of this book,
with a request that it will receive from us
"such notice as its merits deserve" Weare
constrained to say, that we do not regard
such works as these as of any benefit to the
community at large. They foster a taste
that, in our opinion, is an extremely danger
GUS one to be cultivated. Particularly, we
think, such books should be kept out of the
way ofthc young. No good is accomplished,
and on the contrary great deal of harm, by
the "e1pose" given in disgusting detail oft
"Mysteries and Crimes" here set forth. If
Mormonsm is the vile ism as related in this
book, and its followers guilty of the practices
specified, there should be law enough to
break it up, or it should be reached in other
ways than by spreading broadcast what is
unfit to be read. The book is to be sold by
subscription, and we sincerely hope that
no one will accept the agency to circulate it
in this community.

about what too often is made to look like Il
solemn and gloomy proceeding. Besides
when the plea of insanity comes up as it

little rejoinders will go far to convince the
jury that the man must have been insane. to

Farming.

Mr.. ED.-Dear Sir:-As farming is
the leading enterprise of Vermont, and as
many men present their views before the
public through the press, | propose to
write some Of my experiences and observ-
ations for your paper, hoping that may
be able to draw out the views of Others
through the same medium in relation to
this pursuit.
With all the improvement of the past
twenty years there is still room for more.
Vermont is adapted for stock raising, and
butter and cheese manufacturing, and not
for the raising of grain to export. There
fore farmers should adopt the best means
for improving their stock Of all kinds, and
growing large hay crops, which are the
staples of this State. Ten years will dc
away with one.third of the ploughing that
is now performed, from the fact that farm
ers cannot keep up so much land IN tIllage
without " running down in the great ma
iority of cases Now what can be done
Stop raising potatoes to sell ;--oblige po'
tato shops to be turned into work shops
Stop raising hops. Stop raising oats to
sell. In short, feed out all you can raise
on your farms, taking care to save all the
manure and the waste of your barn yards
Save it all. Farmers can cut much more
hay on less ground. How can this be
done? Farmers having cellars to theil
barns or good tigh yards can double then
amount of manure by carting in muck OIL
earth and mixing with the contents Of the
wards. The urine Of stock is said to b'
worth. when mixed with earth, as much
as the manure. The great secret of rails
ing crops is in making a large amount o
manure and then knowing how to apply it
| think one-balf Of our meadow land II
Vermont will produce as much hay iron

all speed he mounted the ladder and re-
turned.
Annie had sunk upon her knees before
the open window, and there she had faint
ed. The hour had nearly expired-then
the fairy spell would be broken.
The prince raised her, and with diff
Guilty once more descended the ladder, the
silken cords bending beneath their weight
He placed Annie beside her sister--and
at that moment, with dreadful roar, the
dragons awoke, and, oh what a noise they
made it reused all the people in the pal
ace, and by the lights moving to and fro,
Selim and Annie judged that their escape
had been discovered. ....
The prince rowed away as fast as posi-
BILE, but it was day-break when he reached
the spot from whence be had set out. He
then took the two princesses to the pal
ace of his father and mother, and before
them the lovely Annie promised him her
hand. ... ..... >.
OF course the news soon spread to the
adjoining country. and the unjust king
was compelled to give up the throne he
had so falsely gained. .....
But the people were not satisfied with
that; they put him to death, and de-
manded Selim and Annie as his success
ors.
The fairies of the land asked the aid o.
their sisters, the sea fairies; they con
quered the genie for goodness and mercy

cruelty.
On the same night that the king me-
his well.deserved death, fierce storm
arose, and the old palace, with the drag
ons, and all the attendants, were swep
away by the waves.
And for many, many years after, a
mong the treasures of the kingdom were
rrcserved-the magic rose and the silkel
ladder.

ten to twenty cart loads of manure put on
to the surface of our meadows as twice
that amount ploughed in once in four or
five years, aud cheaper and easier way
OF farming. Good meadow land should
not be ploughed oftener than once in ten
years. Some Ian will 60 twenty years
with light top-dressing once infve years.
My experience is that when manure is
mixed with the earth the nearer the top
Of the earth the better. Some farmers
who want to make all they can off their
smrfa this year and next, will prepare a
piece of land for corn this year, next year
for potatos, the third year for oats and then
stock the ground 1t is then exhausted
for growing grass.
From my long experience in farming
recommend stocking the next year after
corp with wheat and hcrdsgrass seed Oh
clover. Wheat and rye arc the best crops
to stock with.
Meadow land should be top-drcssed be-
fore the heavy fall rains come.
There is much diversity Of opinion as
to what kind of team is the best fol
farm work. I think fifty dollars a yeal
can be saved Oh an ordinary farm by us
ing an OK team instead Of horses.

The Boat Launch at ShelbUrne
HarbOr.

Ten o'clock yesterday morning found a
rather more select than numerous assem-
blage of our citizens at the South Wharf,
armed with umbrellas, buttoned up in
overcoats, and shod with rubbers, patient
ly awaiting the arrival of the "United
States" which was to make her advertised
trip to SheIburne Harbor; where all who
had the courage to brave the very unfav-
orable weather, could witness the launch
Of the new boat.
A few minutes after ten the Estates"
came up, the bedragged crowd went
aboard and from such places Of shelter
as they found, regarded with plying com
placency the despair of a few individuals
who breathlessly reached the very edge of
the wharf as the steamer had got some
six feet on her way out. A run Of some
twenty minutes to half an hours duration
brought the passengers to their destina-
ton, and landing such as chose 60 ashore,
the States" backed off to point favora-
bic for view of the launch.
In her raised position on the ways, the
graceful lines of the new boat, which as
yet is a mere shell, could be seen to great
advantage; she lay with her stern to the
water, and inclined at slight angle to-
wards it, in the usual manner of building.
Her position was a little north Of the
place from which the adirondack" was
launched.
All along the keel of the boat the sound
of hammers was incessant as the work
men knocked away the blocks that held
her fast, leaving only the chains at the
head; and as the men moved actively
about her, the dimensions Of the boat ap-
peared enormous by the unconscious com.
parison. -i .a,-
A few minutes to eleven the last blocks
we're knocked away, the retaining chains
started, and without moments warning,
the great hulk moved swiftly down the
CREASED ways, and plunging into the wa.
ter, shot out a considerable distance into
the harbor, where she foated lightly and
gracefully. b" ~ ~,
A ringing cheer from all who witnessed
it announced the successful launch of the
~ ermont" on her native element, and
welcomed the last addition to the number
of Lake Champlain steamers. The sue
cess of the launch was complete no hitct
OF accident Of any kind occurring.
The full length of the new boat is 27s
feet; breadth of beam 30 feet. The ma
chnery of the "Canada," thoroughly re
paired and made over, will be placed il
her. She will be finished in chestnut anc
black walnut, similar in style to the "Ad
lrondack." Tler stateroom accommoda ion
will be of exceptional fnllness and finish
Work on the interior of the boat, whic|
now lies at her dock in the harbor, will
, continue TO the close of the season; an
, as ii is INTENDED that no pains shalt b
spared in her fitting, by next July tn
"Vermont" may be looked for to take he
! place as the largest and best finished boa
] on Lake Champlain.

MISCELLANY.

A FAIRY TALE FOR CHILDREN.

"Once upon a time" as the old legends
say, there were two princesscs, whose fa-
ther and mother having died, left them to
the care of their uncle, the kings broth
er, who promised always TO love and pro
tect them. The people had idoized and
loved the good king and queen, and the
entire nation mourned their death. What
then, was their sorrow, when a few months
after it was announced that the young
princesses had both taken a dreadful fe-
yer, and died on the same day? But their
uncle, who was now king, had spread the
report, that he might keep possession Of
the throne.
He was assisted in his cruel design by
Genie, who sent him two hateful dragons
to place at the large entrance gates Of an
old palace, where no strangers ever ven.
tured to approach, and there the poo,
princesses we're pining for their liberty
with no attendants except few black
slaves who were forbidden to address them
And when, from their lofty apartment,
where they we're imprisoned, the princess

Caught glimpse Of the beautiful world
from which they were severed, and watch.
ed the free birds flying through the air
they turned from the window and wept il
each others arms.
Shall we ever 90 out again, sister ?
said the little princess, who was quite q
child, and some years younger than Annie
the elder one.
II hope so, Leila, and each day en-.
dcavor to send message beyond our pris.
on walls, to try if some kind fairy will
assist us. Hark there is linnet singing
his sweet notes above Hasten, Leila
crunble me some bread"
Leila obeyed, and her sister scattered
the bread upon the balcony of the win
dow.
"Oh, linnet % said Annie, as the bird
was picking up the crumbs, evil you
carry to the fairies the sad tale of our i'm.
prisonmeDt 2"
The innet chirped a few notes in reply
and spread his wings ready for fight, but
as he rose into the air a fierce hawk
pounced down upon the poor bird and de-
voured him.
Annie looked very sorrowfu, and little
Leila laid her head upon her sisters arm
and wept. .' '.'
"Sister," said she, at length, "yester
day was looking from one of the higf
windows on the other side of the palace
that overhangs the sea there | watched
the gold and silver fish as they sportec
about in the water. Let us throw some o
this cake to them"
The fishes rose to the surface, but, alas
only to meet the same fate as the poo
linnet, for a huge shark swallowed them
one after another, as the princess was ut
tering the words of her message
"ltis useless, /" exclaimed Annie, "ther'
is some wicked Genie, whose enchantment
