PROFITABLE FARauyG-A F., Of Bristol. Vt,
writes to the .Neu England Farmer as follows :
Thirteen years ago last spring, bought a
farm Of 200 acres for $1,000. | paid 5000
down. then borrowed $500 to buy stock and
tools. had II years pay day. Besides meet
ing all payments when due, have bought 80
acres more land, for 81 400 paid down. am
now in debt about 500, and have farm worth
Sll. 900, with stock and tools worth about So
900. Thus, with good hepmeet, have got a
living by attending to my Understanding
This case illustrates some Of our recent state
ments relating to the profits of farming In Yer
mont. We presume there are plenty more such.

a chronic difficulty in our Indian policy Is
the inadequacy of the salary paid by the gov
eminent to the Indian agents. Very few
men fit for so responsible position, are will
ing to undertake the arduous duties it entails
for the beggarly 81 500 which the govern
ment allows; and Secretary Cox, failing
other expedients, is corresponding with Va
rious missionary and religions organizations,
through whose agency be expects TO supply
the want. 1t is obvious hat if men honest
y able to ell it, accept the place of Indian
agent, it must be fron purely humanitarian
and Christian motives. As class, such
men are usually in a minority, while the Jaw
Of the last Congress, prohibiting officers of
the army from holding civil appointments,
necessitates large number Of appointments
to fill the positions now held by military men.
Under .Asse circumstances Secretary Ccz
finds considerable difficulty in keeping the
Bureau in running order, and not imperilling
the welfare of his Indian charges by impro-
per appointments. While the present made
auate paw OF the agents is retained, it is to
be feared this difficulty will continue, unless
indeed the Quaker experiment prove success
full. So far it may be said to have done so,
by then the supply of Quakers is Got mex
haustible.

The crowd seemed to gravitate considerably
in the direction Of the cattle pens, snd the I'm,
display certainly warranted them in so doing
/ The shed next the course seemed to be devoted
principally to Ayrshires and Deyons. L. S Drew
/ Of South Burlington, had a number Of mis- in,
Ayrshires in the south end, and it was certainly
a pleasure to LOOK at them. He had ono COW

P. lie Clair Of Colchester, had head Of beau
tiful looking animals, from year old upwards

sHoRTHOHN.
The display of shorthorns is highly credita-
be though, as we have said, not quite up the
standard of last year in regard to number.
There is no falling off in the quality of stock,
however.
Shedd & Van Sicklen of South Burlington,
have "a exhibition Of q head of shorthorns
and one grade. There are cows in the head;
the remainder heifers and bulls The splendid
two year old bull Marmion :" weighs l740
and they have another that weighs about l 800.
Messrs. Shedd & Van Sicklen are meeting
with great and well deserved success in their
operations in shorthorns. Their herd was much
admired.

fore, some Of his splendid stock on the grounds.

The telegraph informs US that an Ameri-
can fishing schooner, the Lizzie +. Parr, Of
Gloucester, Mass, has been captured by the
Canadian Government schooner La Cana
dienne, and taken as a prize into the port Of
Quebec, where her case will be adjudicatod
by the courts This vessel has been seized
for some alleged violation Of the treaty con-
corning the fisheries, and the Court will pass
upon the construction Of the phrase in the
treaty in regard to headlands and marine
league from the shore. The canada Govern
ment recently accepted the American inter
probation Of the treaty, and so gave Us no
tice. At the same t1ae it announced that
this was merely matter Of courtesy, and
that it did not abendon its own construction
of the words al issue. 1t will be well to
have some Judicial construction Of that
much debated clause.

SWEEPING RErUBuCAN VICTORY

The canvass in Maine was, taking the
State through, one of almost unprecedented
tameness. and u the democrats are common
" Quick to take advantage Of any lack Of
life on the part Of their opponents, both a
relative and an absolute falling of in the
republican majority was expected. The
result shows that the republicans elect their
State ticket by almost 1000 majority, (some
1000 more than last year in a reduced total
vote that they elect all their members Of
Congress, carry both branches of the Legs
lature by very heavy maiorities, and choose
their county officers in fourteen Of the six
teen counties Of the State. The only real
p,int of doubt was in the First Compression
al District. where the bolt Of so York
county republicans encouraged the demo-
crafts to hope that they would elect their
nominee for Congress in place Of Mr.. Lynch.
But they only succeeded in lessening Mr..
Lynch's majority by about 200 votes. He is
a valuable member and We are glad to learn
by special despatch to Senator Eimunds,
that his majority will be from 1900 to 1900.
On the whole Maine has done as well as
could he reasonably expected.

1t is hardly reasonable to expect Democratic

BARBADOS Mutual Life Assurance SOcie

BARBADOS Mutual Life Assurance Society.
ESTABLISHED IN 1910.
INCORPORATED. BY SPECIAL ACT 1851.
CHIEF OFFICE:
No. 20, HIGH STREET, B~RIDGEToWN, BARBADOS
gIIHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
Of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
Surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that OF
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk Of life in the West Indies, and su fl
cieut 10 create large SURPRISES, out OF
which Rever>ionary Bonuses, averaging
p per cent per annum upon the amour
assured have been distributed among Il g
Members Of the Society.
Its career, during a period Of 80 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing IN this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required to assure 500,
for the whole term, upon a single life -
, 1870-02-04

Assurances of every description on sln-
gle lives are granted by the Society for
any sum from 50ODoIiarsto 10000 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly, or Yearly, at the option of the
Assured.
Assurers wishing to discontinue the
payment Of their Premiums, may either
dispose. of their Policies to the Society
upon equitable terms, or obtain a free
Policy for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof Of such death has been re-
ceived by the Society.
Strict Investigations into the position
of the Society are made quinquenniaIIy,
and the surplus then existing is allotted TO
the Members, after a sufficient sum has
been set aside for the purposes of the
Reserve Fund. The next investigation
and Division of Profits, will take place at
the 31st December, 1870.
The Society has Agencies in nearly all
of the British West India Islands. ,

SALOON 0PEN.--We thought the lesson
taught to saloon keepers last Monday
morning, in Police Court, would have
had the effect of making all of them
obey the Sunday law for short time at
least; but we find colored chap named
Joe Lusher took it into his head yester-
day to again set the law at defiance, and
again he found himself in the station
house. The twenty-five dollar fine in
flicted this morning may have some eff
feet ON him.
