extensive resources of that great publish

Journal is conducted on generous scale,
having given, the past year, twenty-five
per cent. more reading matter than any

equal to the quantity. New stories

The vanderheyden Murder.

Some of the friends of Mrs. Alexander
propose to apply to the Legislature for an
act to permit her to resume her maiden
name of Vanderhey den. This is done
with her consent and appreciation. She is
rallying splendidly from her late over
whelming grief, and having discovered
how base and infamous creature her hus-
band was, is DESTROYS only of forgetting

the last few days, she is satisfied Alexan-

WEST NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TO
A TEAcHER.-A few evenings since, the
sunny-faced pupils and some of the sunny
hearted patrons of the school, under the
Town Hall, West Rutland, proceeded en-
masse to the residence of Nahum John
son, Esq., fairly taking the place by storm.
Miss NJ. E. johnson has, for year past
been teaching the young idea of said dis
trict how to shoot, and, on this occasion,
they are evidently aiming their shots at
her, for from sparkling eyes and lips, half
Enclosed by the secret, "Miss johnson
doesn't know" come volleys of love and
good feeling. Children do not like to
keep secrets from those they love, and the
object of their visit was soon made known.
A beautiful tinted photograph, "The Mar
quis' Children" and that exquisite chrome,
Barefoot Boy" are brought forward and
presented to Miss johnson in the follow
ing speech
Dear Teacher A few days ago we
were your happy pupils, waiting to do
your bidding. Affairs are changed now
we come to command y0ur attention, and
ask you to listen to as. Among the pleas
ant exercises introduced by You into our
school, to make the hours pass more pleas
antly, was the repeating of the beautiful
poem Barefoot Boy" AS memorial of
the good you have done us, and as token
of our confidence and love, will you ac-
cept these pictures from loving pupils.
None better than a teacher can under
stand the deep satisfaction, the soulful
gratitude, the ardent love, which thrill
the heart, when weeks of anxious toll are
sealed by the glad swell done" of fond
appreciation.
Too deeply moved for words by this
well-planned surprise, Miss johnson
briefly thanked her pupils and patrons,
and led the children through the reeita-
ton of "Whittier's Barefoot Boy"
How sweetly the truth at is more
blessed to give than to receive" distilled
itself upon those fresh young hearts was
understood by an

The SENATE.-Every State in the
Union now has two Senators in Congress,
except Georgia, and as soon as the latter
State is admitted the Senate will contain
"a members, a larger number than ever
before, and very much larger number
than for the last few years. The Georgia
bill was the special order for Monday in
the Senate, but there is no telling when a
vote will be reached. The bill has been
under consideration for so long time
that it would seem as though it could be
passed upon very quickly. But as the
Senate grows larger the demon of talk
seems to gain frmer hold there, and it
is especially difficult to exercise him when
reconstruction is the matter under consid-

CANNING EGGs.-The process of 'can-
ming" eggs in their own shells was recent
" explained at a meeting of the New
York Farmers Club. 1t is done in this
manner: When two or three dozen eggs
are obtained from the nests, place them
in nest and pour scalding water over
them, and Immediately turn it off. This
process is repeated three times, by which
means the albumen is fixed or coagulated,
the pores of the shell closed, and the egg,
as it were, canned in its own covering.
The eggs thus prepared are then packed
in salt, with the apex downward, and
they are said to keep perfectly fresh for
many months. Eggs which have under
gone somewhat similar process have
sold in the markets Of Paris for years

d. robu c. Fremont has addressed
Latter 10 the chairman OF the SENATE
Coruittee on the Pacific Railroad, in
ro,o,ior 70 the Memphis, FL Paso and Pa
oieo Railroad Company. He makes a COM
LIANT that Hon. Elishu B. Washburne,
arr Minister to France, uses his Off
oial position aud the weight OF the influ-
orca of the United States Government
for the qualification of personal hostilities
and interests, and to break down indivi-
dual American enterprise. Gen. Fremont
enters into full explanation OF the plac-
inc of the bonds of Ell Paso road on the
Paris market. He says that notwithstand-
ing the attack made upon the company,
the French government has not changed
its good disposition toward the enterprise
but the effect intended has been produced
upon the stock exchange and has caused
and continues to cause the company
heavy pecuniary embarrassment. Gen.
Fremont denies that the company has for
feited its charter from Texas and its land
grants, by noncompliance with the con-
ditious of the act of incorporation, and
produces afidavits in support of his posi-
ton. The company has gone on
in good faith to build its road, by the ex-
penditure of large SUMS of money, and
has until 1876 to complete it. There are
now one hundred miles ready for the
oross-ties and iron. Several thousand
tons of railroad iron and ten locomotives
have been purchased and paid for. The
iron has been shipped from France, and
ia now srriving at New Orleans, and the
locomotives are nearly ready for shipment
In July an2 January interest on all bonds
sold in France was paid at the Office Of
the company in Paris. 1t is believed that
those engaged in the work, from the pc.
sition acquired, the contracts made and
arrangements in progress, will be able tc
complete it much sooner than could be
done by any new company. Gen. Ere
mont's letter is a peculiar one, and will
attract much attention az bearing upon
the relations OF Minister Washburn to
the enterprise of his own countrymen.

DISTRICT SCHOOLS. We take pleas
ure, although to the exclusion of other
matter, in publishing the remarks of the
Rev. r. G. Williams, principal of the
State Normal school at Castleton, in the
discussion of this subject at the recent
State Teachers Association at Springfield.
They arc worthy of perusal at any time,
but more especially as touching upon a
question that the people of our State will
have to meet at an early day, and that
question Is the abolition of our present
school districts and the consolidation of al
the districts of town into one school dis
trict. If you have not time to read the
address of Mr.. Williams to-day, preserve
the paper and read at your leisure. Every
man is bound to investigate all public
questions that are to be brought before
the people for action, and that this ques-
ton may be fully understood and discuss,
ed, after reading this address read the
able and convincing remarks Of Mr.. Ran
kin in the last report of the Board Of Ed
cation, which is to be sound in the posses
sion of every school district clerk in the
State.
Mr.. Williams is but a recent resident
in our State, but his address indicates a
thorough knowledge of our school system
and he will be an efficient co-laborer in
the educational field.
