Home for Destitute Children.

BURLINGTON. VT, Feb. 3, 1870.
-Hr. Editor Allow me to call the at
tention of your readers to the fact that the
Home for Destitute Children in Bnrling-
ton is designed for the benefit of the whole
State; and although not exclusively for
soldiers children, yet their claim is pecu-
liarly sacred, and no soldiers child was
ever refused admission.
OF the ninety children already admitted
to the " Home, over forty have been re-
ceiyed from towns aside from Burlington,
viz: Winooski has sent seven, Montpelier,
Woodstock, Vernon and Jericho, 9 each !;
Shelburne Highgate, Swanton and Shore
ham, > each; and CastletOn, St. Adams,
Waterbury, Ferrisburg, Milton, Bradford,
Norwich, Charlotte, Hinesburg, Bristol,
Essex, Guilford and St. Johnsbury, each.
The managers of the Home" deem this
statement due to the Institution, on ac-
count of an effort now being made to es-
tablish another Home" for soldiers or
phans in the eastern part Of the State.
Vermont has a right to establish as many
Institutions as she will support, but is ii
wise, is it judiciOus to divide, and thereby
weaken, rather than concentrate her ener-
gies, and by so doing give permanence tc
one Institution? In union there is strength
and we insist that the " Home" in Burling
| ton, having been in successful operation
and having acquired the experience o
| more than four years, has the strongest
claim upon the people OF the State. Thi:
Institution is entirely free from debt-own:
ten acres of land, and a building of suff
cient capacity to accommodate thirty-fv,
children and at moderate cost, could b,
so enlarged as to double its numbers. Ii
order to do this, and to enableth " Home
to meet the wants Of the State a plan ha
been adopted to secure a Permanen
Fund of fifty thousand dollars; the prin
cipal to be invested, and the income only
to be applied to the enlargement and sup
/ pm Vi the Ahslltu'IOH' LIS plau Is Oelnt
prosecuted as vigorously as possible at tn,
present moment, and almost twelve thous
and dollars have already been pledged
Every town in the State should be appeal
ed to for aid, and it remains with the PEG
pie to say whether the Home for Desti
tute Children" in Burlington shall be sus
tanned, Respectfully,

Railroad Enterprise at the West,

Our friend Cooper, of Wyandotte, Kan
sas, writes Us a private letter, from which
we extract the following. Things are "a
Their more lively there than here:
Why don't you say something about
the great city of Centropolis, at the great
bend of the Missouri and mouth of the
Kaw river? In sight of where | sit wri-
ting is the greatest railroad centre in the
west. Here is the terminus of the Kansas
Pacific, Missouri River and Northwestern,
the Missouri River, Fort Scott and Gulf
Kansas City, Olathe and Ottawa, and the
Missouri Pacific Railroad. These are all
on the south side of the Missouri river
The bridge at Kansas City across the Mis-
souri, river lets into the same terminus the
following roads from the north side of the
river: Hannibal and st. Joseph, North
Missouri, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
Platte County, Cameron, Liberty and Kan
sas City. All these roads, except the Mis-
souri, Pacific, run to one depot, and from
three to five o'clock every day you would
think it was an enlarged edition of Babel
if you were there. Business on all these
roads is perfectly astonishing. Your pa
per mentions the number of car loads that
have been shipped from Barton the past
year. Either one of the four slaughter
and packing houses that l can see from my
window will do more business than all that
is done at Barton, and ship more car loads
of property; and the lumber alone that is
shipped to this point, and for the south
west and north, is probably four times as
much as all the business of Orleans COun
ty taken together, saying nothing of cattle
and hog trains. We don't pretend to count
| the cars of these trains, much less to mum
berthe cattle and hogs they contain. The,
kill cattle and hogs here about as fast a.
they kill flieshn hot weather in New Eng
land. There is work enough for an army
of men at this bend of the river. Fou1
years ago Kansas City did not probably
| exceed 5000 inhabitants now she mas un
questionably over S35, 900 and growing a
rapidly as ever. 1t is surprising to ME tina
enterprising young men stay in northern
Vermont, when there is such breadth Of
country open for settlement, with soil anc
climate Ike ours. This day is as warm a
September in Vermont, and as fine sum,
weather as could be asked for. This is tn
rule and cold and storm the exception"
We are GLAD to hear from Mr.. Cooper, a
will his many friends here. We hope t
hear from him occasionally hereafter.

Agricultural College.

Dr. Earle i have before me your issue
of January 18th containing the two COM
munications on our Agricultural College,
the one containing statement of the
course study taught in that institution :;
and the other arraigning it for its failures
and delinquencies. Your readers will see
at once the utter incompetence and worth
lessness of these structures by comparing
the two. The one says, quoting from the
catalogue, the college provides the best of
instruction in Algebra, Geometry, TrigO-
nometry, Agricultural Chemistry, Survey
ing, Physics, Botany, Mineralogy, Quail
tative Volumetric and Mineral ANALYSIS,
Analysis of Ash of plants, Soils and Fertil-
izers, Zoology and Physiology, Meteorolgy,
Botany, Mechanics, Geology, Organic Anal
ysis, &c, the other says, "The studies
taught are not acceptable to the sons of
toll, and hare no direct application to agri-
culture" If these studies have not, pray
what studies can have? 1t is conceivable
that man of limited study could, in the
heat of an extemporaneous talk, say some
such loose thing as this. but he shows la
mentable want of sound judgment, to write
it out, in a cooler hour, for the press. q.
Mr.. Jameson, in his report, talks about
the claim of Orleans County farmers to
their portion Of the Agricultural fund, alb
out ten Thousand dollars, now wasted by
law in the University, as if that amount
could be had and put to much better use
for the ends of Agriculture if the County
or the Society had the control of it, Let
us look at this.
Now any one will see, by reading the
Congressional Act granting the land for
this fund, that other branches must be
taught besides Agriculture, namely, Civil
Engineering, Mining Engineering, Rail
road Engineering, Building, Chemistry,
Military Tactics and Drill, English Liter
AZURE, and Mr.. Morrill, was careful to put
in, "NOt excluding Classical studies" Il
quote from memory In protracted in
terview of another member of the Corpora
ton of the University of Vermont, and my
self, with Mr.. Morrill,, az the Pavilion
Montpelier before the fund was united
with the funds ofthe University, Mr.. Nor
rill gave US his plans and wishes very full
ly; and substantially as follows: He wish.
ed to provide for the best education of the
sons of Vermont, both for those who chose
to leave the State of their birth, as a great
proportion do, and for those who remain
He wished to provide for an elementary
and scientific education, which would b.
a preparation for entering upon the specia
and practical study of any pursuit tina
young Vermonters would choose to follow
whether farming, building, engineering
trading, manufacturing, theology, law
medicine, craftsmanship, or military life
He would have partial course for such a

ing the classics, such that those who chos
to go through with it might be fitted t.

Willie Atkins, lad whose punishment
at Mr.. SINNERS school, in Chicago, last
November, created much excitement, died
Friday morning. He had been in state
of stupor ever since the occurrence, nearly
three months ago, never speaking, and
scarcely giving sign of life. The inves-
tigatiOn at the time of the occurrence fail
ed to show that undue violence was used
VIM. Garrison, of Plattekill, in the low
er part of Ulster county, committed suicide
in the most horrible manner, on Thursday
afternoon last He was found by his daugh-
ter-in-law in the act of trying to disem-
bowel himself with large, dull, table
knife, and had already terribly mutilated
his person; medical aid was called in. but
he died in about half an hour. Mr.. Gar
rison was about 20 years old, and leaves. it
is said, a fortune of S250,000
We noticed in one of our exchanges this
week the statement of Dea. John Hodg-
klns OF South Jefferson, Maine, whose son
was cured of incipient consumption by the
use of Johnson's Anodyne Liniment. We
refer to this at this time as tending to cor
roborate the statement we made last week
In relation to this Liniment as applied to
consumption.
If congress had employed as much sci
entific skill in the arrangement of its IRE
construction policy at the close, as the
war department did in the beginning of the
war, in arranging for the manufacture of
what was called Sheridau's Cavalry Con-
dition Powders for the use of the cavalry

been restored long ago,-Erchangs,

sional schools, such as law or theology or
medicine-or in the forum of political and
congressional debate-with the graduates
of any College in the land. Just this the
University of Vermont and State Agricul-
tural College is trying to do, and, for the
means given to it, 1 will venture to say, is
doing better than any other institution in
the country. Mr.. Morrill, has been from
the first a member of the Corporation, and
every suggestion of his has been heartily
and unanimously seconded by the Board.
That the College has not farm is not
her fault. The friends of Classic study
have just raised $40, 900 to endow profess
sorship Let the farmers raise as much tor
farm, or for a farmers professorship, and
they shall have one to their liking. Divide
the fund between all the interests for which
it was given, and the Orleans County Agri-
cultural Society might get $4,000 as its
share, but what could it do with it? Other
interests might get a thousand or two each,
but what could they do with them towards
carrying out the grand plan of our wise and
noble Senator? For he provides that all
the great interests of our young men should
be served.
We have now grand foundation. Let
the different interests of Vermont see to il
that their own peculiar wants are provided
| for on thiS fnund atiOn There is roOm
enough, verge enough, and the best posi-.
Die facilities for making every effort tel
in providing valuable scientific and practi
cal instruction for the sons of toll in oul
State. Perhaps the name may misleaC
some to suppose that Agriculture is the
chief or the only interest the fund is in
tended to subserve, but this is not SO, al
the reading of the Congressional Act vii
abundantly show.

LAWRENCE, Mass, Feb. 6. The ex-
tensire stable of Stevens, Dockham
d Co., on Essex street, west of the
depot, was burned to the ground Sat
urday night. One horse and one mule
were saved, and fourteen horses and
one mule persisted. About ten tons OF
hay and some twenty or thirty sets
of harness were also lost. One of the
animals was valued at six hundred
dollars, and two others at four hun
dred dollars each. Another mule
was got out, but persisted in backing
in again, and was lost. The loss oil
Dockham d Co. is not far from $4,000,
The building belonged to Mr.. Ella Of
Concord, N. H., and was valued at
about $1,000. Messrs. Dockham &
Co. were insured for about $780,
They lost five horses by drowning in
the canal not long since. The fire
was undoubtedly the work of an in
cendiary. The conhagration lighted

WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE.-A convention of
the she ranters and those females of the
male persuasion who for the want of more
useful occupation are Justify shrieking for
women's rights," was held at Montpelier
week before last, at which there was quite
a respectable attendance. Hon. Charles
Reed of Montpelier was its president and
Albert S. Clarke of the St. Adams Messen-
ger was its secretary. Several speakers &C.
cupied the rostrum, among them Mrs. Liv-
ermore, Mrs. Blackwell, Mrs. Campbell,
and Mrs. Bowles-ali married. The most
noticeable item of the sessions was tear
ing TRADE from Mrs. Livermore, to whom
was assigned the task of answering an ed
itorial in the Waterman and Journal re-
fiecting somewhat upon the morality of too
many engaged in what is called the new
reform. Shedeported herself smartly, sau-
cily, but not genteely, if we are any Judge

RUFFIANIsM IN CHICAGO.-T h e
rowdy element in Chicago is getting
troublesome, and, as in New York,
there is talk among the better class of
citizens of Vigilance Committees. A
judge who has been unusually vigilant
and prompt in netting out justice to the
thieves and ruffians who infest that
city has incurred the hatred of this
class, and they have threatened hot
retaliation, even to the assassination
of himself and family. Policemen
are detailed each night to guard his
dwelling. The Evening Journal, re-
marking on this state Of affairs, says
"Let but hair of Judge Meal
listers head be harmed, and within
twenty-four hours a Vigilance Com
mittee Of five or ten thousand good
citizens would be sweeping through
Chicago like a hurricane of honest
wrath. Every lamp post would be
ornamented with choked thief, and
not single ruffian would be left alive
in all Chicago to tell how Judge Lynch
succeeded Judge McAllister."
