r lLIGIoUs EQUALITY IN THE UNIVERSITIES OF Eng
LAND.
The House of Commons have just adopted an i'm
portant of religious tolerance that has been
for long time desired by public opinion. In ac-
corlance with usage dating as far back the
tablishment of the Church of England, diploma of
graduate of the University could not be obtained
but under the obligation the part of the applicant
of an oath implying a complete adhesion TO the SO
Article of the established Church. Hence princi-
pie of exclusion against all the dissenters, whose
conscience repelled an implicit violation of their
creed.
For several years past, effort have been made by
the liberal party introduce in TO thelarge establish
ments of national education liberal views, but
those attempts had only resulted in half measures.
Thus the dissenters were allowed to have colleges
at Oxford and Cambridge. Some time afterwards,
the University of Cambridge accepted compromise
in virtue of which, the non conformsts were au-
thorzed to take degrees in all branches except in
Theology, but still they were more able than be-
fore to obtain employment in the administration of
the Colleges or any remuneraive salary in the Uni
versities Last year, Lord Caernarvon introduced
in the House Of Lords, bill empowering Colleges
to reform their Statutes, in more liberal spirit
few days ago, the SOlicitor-General introduced
bill establishing in the most absolute manner, the
principles of religious equality in the University.
Henceforth, every person belonging to form Of
religion recognized by the Government, shall have
full right TO the degrees and privileges of the grad
yates of the Universities, as well as to the remune
ration paid in the Colleges

WE publish below statement of the "armes Of
the world" from a San Francisco exchange which
will give our readers something Of an idea Of the
gigantic nature of the struggle which would take
place in Europe should all the great powers be
drawn into the war now existing between France
and Prussia; event which is not at all unlikely.
"ARMIEs OF THE WoRLD.-At the present day the
standing armies of the world are larger than they
have been since the great of the first Napoleon

900 men in ALL For the extent of our territory this
is the smallest army In the world; and have rea-

the army.
The British army numbers about 200, 900 men,
The bulk Of this army is at home, Ireland absorb

Of but one other experiment in irrigation in

visited this field it was in the dry harvest

show to the careless observer.
All along south of Montpelier the farmers
value their woodland, and with cord wood at
from three to four dollars per cord, bark at
seven or eight, ties at thirty cents each,
they make good thing of it; but as they
deliver much ut the track of the Central Rail-
road it does not make as much show as at
the north Of the town, up Worcester Branch,
where some farmers declare they could not
live by farming alone, but make their winter
work, with wood, as valuable as the summer
labor upon the farm. In fine day in winter
fifty teams have been met, driving out Of
Montpelier six miles, all loaded with wood.
The down teams never turn out, so two tracks
are kept. AS dined with one farmer he told
,lne he had thirty-two solid cords of dry block
rood al,eady sold at seven dollars per cord,
twenty-five cords OF four foot wood'sortA
in market five dollars per cord, fifteen
cords of bark worth eight dollars per

LlBERALlTY IN FARMING.

In this art, and almost in this art alone,
it is the liberal hand which maketh rich"
Liberality in providing utensils is the saw
ing both of time and labor. The more per-
feet his instruments, the more profitable are
they.
So also it is with his working cattle and
his stock. The more perfect in their kinds
are ever the most profitable.
Liberality in good barns and warm shell
ters is the source of health, strength and
comfort to animals causes them to thrive on
less food, and secures from damage all sorts
of crops.
Liberality also in the provision of food
for domestic animals is the source of flesh,
muscle and manure
Lberality to the earth, in seed, culture
and compost is the source of its bounty.
Thus Providence has inseparably connected
our duty and our happiness.
In raising animals, the condition Of his
success is kindness and benevolence to them.
In cultivating the earth, the condition of
mans success is his industry upon it.

GET LEATHER BITS.

One of the cruelest things done to dumb
beasts is putting hard frozen iron bits into a
horses mouth. It is not only painful but a
dangerous act. For every time living flesh
touches a metal much below the freezing
point, the latter extracts the heat from the
former and freezes it. Thus horses mouth
becomes frozen by the cold iron several times
. day put into it.; each time causing these
freezings to 20 deeper, to end at last in ex-
tensive liberation. With such sore mouth
the poor horse refuses to eat and pines away,
which calls the horse doctor in. They call
II bots, glanders, horse-ail, &c., and 90 to
cramming down poisonous Drugs, in doses ;
and the next you know Of the poor abused
creature, he is trOtted off to be food for fish
or the Crows. Many a valuable horse has
been mysteriously lost in just that way.
Thinking and humane people avoid this by
first warming the bits; but this is much troub-
le, and sometimes impossible, rs in night
work like staging and physicians work,
Now all this trouble is entirely avoided, as
we have found on large trial, by getting the
harness-makers to get leather bits for winter
use, so made that no metal substance can
touch the flesh. They are durable and cost
only half dollar. We wouldn't exchange
ours for q gold one, if it couldn't be replaced
Don't fail to try it.-Rur@ WuM.

2. Keeping no account of home opera

" A stitch in time saves nine," in regard to
the sowing Of grain and planting of seed at

3. Leaving the reapers, plows, cultiva-

than most people are willing to believe.

5. Attending auction sales and purchasing
all kinds of trumpery, because in the words

6. Allowing fences to remain unrepaired
until strange cattle are found grazing in

7. Planting fruit trees with the expecta-
ton Of having fruit, without giving the trees
half the attention required to make make them

A jAuNT SOUTH FROM NoNypEIINi.
PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY

09N such hilly state as Vermont, the
III roads are generally in the river val
W leys. So it is from Montpelier to North
field. Over Berlin bridge, up the hill, on
its summit, farm of two hundred acres has
just been purchased by G. G. Chan5 for
twelve thousand dollars, and appears to be
well worth the money. Sixty acres of fields
are quite free from stone and appear of such
aeteasise aeil tit.. s<cnyre VIXEN epplied will
give good results. Thirty cows can be kept.
Montpelier gives good market for milk.
Cows can be made more profitable by selling
milk than by making butter and cheese.
Mr.. Chandler has six head of herd book
shorthorns, and intends to try that breed for
dairy as we'll as fashion. The sire of the
calves is Earl Of Oxford. A pair of Ches-
hire pigs from o. s. Bliss, are in one pen, and
several nice Chester Whites attract attention
in others. A pair of wild geese crop the
grass near by, and several promising colts
range the pastures, making altogether good
stock to begin with on SO good farm, and
we trust Mr.. G. will permanently join the
ranks Of farmers and illustrate the best meth
DDS Of tillage, breeding and feeding. The
next farm is fairly in the valley of Dog River,
is owned by Calvin Alexander, and cost
$4,000 three years ago. Here is some
good meadow, where all the operations can be
most economically carried on. Dairying is
the chief source of profit. Some sheep are
kept, and fine crops Of corn are raised. The
end of the corn crib is decorated under the
gable jet with thirty traces Of corn, each
containing about sevepty-6ve ears. Thi.
seems favorite way to store seed corn in
this valley, 90 several other corn houses are
decorated in the same way.
The valley in places is quite narrow, yet
tucked in on each bank are meadows thai
are highly priced by the owners. We pas,
along two miles and come to the farm Of Mr.
Farnsworth. that cost $4,000. Here
stretching off to the east, to steep bluff, ar'
perhaps fifty acres of good smooth land
Westward the land is very broken, steep
and undesirable except for pasture. If,

blow on the head with his axe, and was about
pulling her out when he was surprised to see

Checks and Counterfeit CbeGks---Great
Excitement among the AOneyed
Men Of Cincinnati.

CINCINSATI, April 2s.-There is consid-
cradle excitement over the operations of
some harpers with raised checks. One
party applied to the liquor house of Stall
& Meyer IA bought about sixty dollars
worth of goods and paid one hundred dol
lars in greenbaeks, and requested as he
had been drinking that they give him a
check to order, that he might have no
more currency about him than necessary.
The request was complied with and he re-
ceived a check of the firm for thirty-nine
dollars. The filling was erased by chemi-
QRls, and this morning the party called at
de banking house of Espy, Heidelberg q
To. with the valid signature and nego-
Slated for bonds. He filled it up for $500,
ther required amount, saying that he was
authorized TO do so. Before delivering
the bonds the check was sent to the Pres
idsnt OF the First National Bank, when it
was pronounced correct, but no eertifea-
ton was either given or asked. On this
snswer the bonds were delivered and the
operator disappeared. &ne case involves
a point OF interest and responsibility. An

GENERAL THOMAS.
interesting Letter about him from General
fitZhugh.
From the Baltimore aazette. ]


From the Baltimore Gazette.
The following letter from General
Fftzhugh Lee, s a valuable contribu-
ton to the history of the recent war.
1t was called out by us. He has
given us permission to publish it:
L knew General Thomas well.
Was a lieutenant in a cavalry regi-
ment of which he was the major be-
fore the war, and stationed at the
same post in Texas with him. He
was an excellent artillery officer
(servedin that arm in MeXico), an in
different cavalry one-tOo heavy, too
slow. Had not that coup Pg0 PtuS
rdpide que Ie cObrSier eD1perte gGt0p,
PdddreSse dun athlete et PdgiIie dun
ceRtqaTe,' that General Foy talks
about in the "Peninsular War" but
which did not prevent him being q
general officer of indisputable courage
and unquestionable merit.
You say he is charged with having,
at the beginning of the war, hesitated
as to which side he should enlist
with, etc. The New York Tribune,
however, and all other Northern en-
eOmiums that / have read upon his
name and fame, lay great stress upon
his" being a Virginian who never fGL-
tered in his allegiance to the Union"
But they would better have left that
part of his record alone,
1t is a fact that when war threatened
between the two sections of g the hest
government the world ever saw"
General Thomas feelings were South
ern to almost the bellicose degree.
IL Is a fact that he told me In New
York city, in 1861, as | was on my
way from West Point to Washington,
to resign my commission as an officer
of the United States Army, that he,
too, intended to resign, and would
soon follow me.
1t is a fact that about that time he
wrote a letter to John Letcher, then
Governor of Virginia, and rendered
his services to the State (Which letter
the Governor may have now.
The State of his birth can hardly be
expected, under the circumstances, to
erect d monument to him, but it
should not defame him.
He was an upright, kind-hearted
man, and fought well. though against
us. Let him rest in peace; and let
Virginia keep her walls of wrath to be
forever poured out upon the heads of
some few of her citizens who would
not fight upon either side, but who
at home and made money by
for the North as spies, guides
and infOrmers, or who, after having
have acted as if they were
ashamed of their past record.
Very respectfully, your obd't serv't,
FITZHUGH LEE.
