Vermont Horse Stock Go.
St. ALBANs, Jan. 20, 1870.

St. ALBANs, Jan. 90, 1870.
This association met at o'clock. Call
ed to order by Col. John b. Mead, Of
Randolph, who briefly stated the history
Of the origin, charter, organic ltion and
progress OF the company, and expressed
regret that Vermont had lost much of
her former reputation for raising fine
horses; and pleasure that the horse
breeders OF the State, as well as her
dairymen, are determined to enter upon
the work of improvement
On motion of Mr.. Weed, of Shelburn,
L. 7. Tucker, Ezra Meach and Geo. G.
Chandler were appointed a committee to
draft bylaws and nominate directors.
Mr.. l.. Il. Tucker of South Royalton
said, for fifteen years he had felt that we
were on the decline in horse breeding and
he had been doing what he could to bring
the State back to its former status. He
referred to a visit to fair at st. Louis
ten years ago, at which he saw numerous
fine Morgan stations bred in Vermont
But men from the South and West do
not now come to Vermont. He said that
the capital stock of this Company must
be $50 900 before it can do anything.
We want hundred thousand. Last week
he was in Boston at work for the TO-, and
there received excellent encouragement
and believed $4,000 might be raised
there. He had received letter from
Hon. j. S. Morrill, urging the importance
Of the measure and saying that the
suretooted State of Vermont was just the
place for it.
Ezra Meach of Shelburn said he had
been aware for ten years that something
ought to be done. We have no such
horses as we had. He keeps about 80,
and has not one that had the endurance
or the other desirable qualities that horses
had 20 years ago. He said he pastured
his horses nearly the year round Feeds
only six weeks on an average. Has winter
ed horses for others at $40 each Had
not fed his horses this winter He
thought we ought to have first class horses
and then take good care of them. A
horse ought to be l6 hands high and Of
uniform color,-no white legs Once We
could point to any number of matched
spans. Now who knows Of one?
Col. Mead explained the object of asso
citation. Let gentlemen subscribe for the
capital. The right men have taken hole
of this matter-not fancy horse men, bu
solid men who want to make Vermont il
horses what she used to be, or what sh'
is in sheep to-day.
Mr.. Tucker said that I. w. Park tolt
him that when he lived in California
when Vermont horse arrived there /
commanded double price. But before b,
left this was charged. Vermont had de
cliucd. He said that ifhe understood tn,
business he would put 100000 into I
the first thing. This Mr.. Tucker said
was but a sample Of the faith in tn

Who Our Ex.SOldiers Are.

The Army and Navy Journal says:
IA general officer passing, lately, on
horseback ride through one Of the New
England States, was struck by the fact
that in nearly every city or village he en-
tered, some men, and often several men
noticed him, and would easily recognize
him and call him by name. And when,
in return,he claimed their names,h found
that they were ex-soldiers in his brigade
or division of the army sin the old war
times down in Virginia"
"He noted another fact-these return
ed soldiers were almost invariably men
looked up to by their neighbors. They
were the Travelled men, the men of expert
ence and wide observation Not only
we're they the patriots and heroes of the
village. who had faced death on many
field, and who, hapy, still wore the scar
of battle-insignia of our republican
nobility-in evidence Of service, but they
were also the men who had lived longest
in fewest years, whose enterprise and en-
ergy were promptest and greatest. Ac-
cordingly, the officer We speak of stop
ping by night at the village tavern, or
incoming in the heat of day at the waysdc
found the old gray haired villagers, who
Of old used to be the oracles of the ham
let, respectfully waiting on the younger
ex-soldiers-veterans, not in years but in
deed and experience.
"At the South may be found a similar
class of ex-soldiers-ex-Confederat vol
unteers. They, in their turn, are the
busting. driving, responsible, respected
men in the South. Nearly all the States
that seeded have now been received back
into the Union on new conditions and I'M
der happier auspices and the soldiers
who carried out the old States have been
as whole, quickest TO bring them in again,
renewed to more perfect Union. Be-
tween the ex-soldiers Of the North and
the ex-soldiers Of the South, there is not
yet, to speak frankly, any special bonds
of brotherly feelings but on the other
hand, there is no longer any antagonism
while there is certain affinity of exper.
fence and sentiment. Time, that heals all
will make these old enemies close friends
The remaining States will soon be admit.
ted, and soon all will sit together at the
council board Of the nation. A certain
trio of i'll omened spirits will have beer
cast out of the assembly there, slavery
secession, reputation and with the fna
exit of these, old things will pass away
and all things will become new"

& Upon the 10th ult., Sylvan Sal

with all his followers, while on retreat to
Barahaia. Salnave, with the members Of

the sea, lighted the last scene in the trag-
edy. No time was lost. A few soldiers
with ropes hastily bound the wretched
man to a stake already driven in the
ground for the purpose, and an infantry
detachment thirty strong marched twenty
yards in front of the victim, whore they
were halted and ordered to load.
A profound silence now fell upon the
place. The blacks gaped with open mouth
as the soldiers rammed down the charges
in their muskets and came to the "carry."
Contrary to expectation, Salnave uttered
not word but faced his executioners
with courage which sustained him to the
last. In the fearful silence between each
order which brought the deadly muzzles
to his breast, his lips were seen to move
but no audible words escaped. The final
order was given; the smoke cleared a
way, and the riddled body Of the unfor-
tunate man was seen still alive, and lean

L. A. SMITH, NJ. D.
DEAR SIR.-I have felt it due to you,
and to the many who are suffering from
chronic difficulties, from which they are
able to find no relief, to make the follow
ing statement
For several years l have been suffering
from a complication of diseases, about
which the best physicians differed, and
for more than a year previous to last Au-
gust, suffered from a most distressing
cough, attended by extreme lassitude and
general debility. For the relief of which
tried Ayres Cherry Pectoral, Whites
and Downs Elixir, Goes Cough Remedy,
Arnold's Dead Shot for cough, Wistar's
Balsam ofWild Cherry, Browns Troches,
old Bourbon Whiskey (by direction of
physicians) and Rowley's Cough Syrup,
with no effect, but to increase the cough
and general debility. | also faithfully
tried homeopathic remedies and the best
Allopathc doctors (who assured me that
| might expect to cough in the same way
during life), and all without the least al
teration Last August | put myself I'M
der your care, and found myself almost
Immediately better, and for three months
| never felt any inclination to cough, and
found myself possessed of physical vigor
which l had utterly despaired of ever
enjoying in this world.
You are at liberty to make such use Of
this statement as you see fit. For not
only in my own case but others within
my personal knowledge, who were sup
posed beyond the reach of help, has your
skill availed to restore to at last comforta-
BILE health.
Respectfully, &c,
REV. EBEs SMITH.

The session of the Senate was again
Wednesday almost entirely consumed
with the discussion on the Currency bill.
Senator Buckingham introduced bill
supplementary to the Currency act Of
1864, to authorize free banking under
that act. Among the petitions was one
from 5000 citizens Of New York, praying
for woman's suffrage, and one from Thomas
A. Hendricks, and others Of Indiana, for
an increase Of the salary of Judges of the
United States Courts.
In the House Mr.. Butler, early in the
session, got the floor, and made long
speech in reply to that of Mr.. Dawes on
retrenchment, to which the latter briefly
replied. Mr. Butler declared that the
figures given by Mr.. Dawes were not cor
rect, and that economy was practiced in
all the departments. Another debate
occurred on the bill transferring the
Navy Yard at Philadelphia to League
Island, and the bill was finally tabled.
Several petitions, a number for the aboi-
ton of the franking privilege, were pres
ented and also several resolutions of in
quiry. Mr.. Jones, of Kentucky, offered
a resolution looking towards reputation,
but the House refused to admit it.
On Monday Mr.. Sherman's bill to pro-
vide national currency Of coin and notes
and to equalize the distribution and cir
culation of notes, was discussed at length
by Messrs. Sherman, Davis, Howe and
Sumner. but no action taken.
In the House Mr.. Munger presented a
petition signed by 1854 citizens of Wor-
cester, Mass, for reputation of the
debt. Among the bills introduced were
the following: To fix the compensation
of letter carriers in cities at $1,000; to
increase the salary of the Ministers to
China; to increase the number of United
States Supreme Court Judges for bounty
to colored soldiers; to regulate the mode
of determining the ratification of constitu-
tional amendment; to regulate pensions

and safety of coal miners; to authorize

stitution and State Government prepare.
tory to admission into the Union and to
extend the money-ordcr system to branch
Post Offices in large cities. The Appro
priation bills, Legislative, Executive anC
Judicial, were reported. The Senate
Virginia bill was discussed, Mr. Butler
making speech in which he referred tc
the course Of Messrs. Bingha and Farms
worth, who replied and was finally agreed
to by vote of 1876 to 81.
