Vermont Medical Society.

The Vermont Medical Society is now
holding its semi-annual session at the
Welden House in st. Albans. There are
present physicians from various parts of
the State, and also delegates from the
Medical Association of Northern New
York. The Society convened at IL A. NJ,
and was called to order by DIR. s. Putnam
of Montpelier, President. The minutes
of the annual meeting were read by DIR.
L. O. Butler of Essex, Secretary.
The forenoon was occupied with dis
cussion upon Choral Hydrat, and at the
opening of the afternoon session a paper
was read by DIR. Harvey Knight of
Georgia upon that subject. DIR. knight
gave its chemical composition, and its
use as remedial agent, in cases occurring
in bis own practice. He spoke particu-
larly of the danger of its indiscriminate
use by persons who do not understand it's
composition. The discussion which fol-
lowed was interesting and instructive,
showing some difference of opinion among
members of the society in regard to its
administration and effects, but all concur
ring in the opinion that it is medicine
of great value, when properly admins
tered, and of absolute purity.
DR.. S. Putnam presented in writing the
details of cure of sub acute nae7lengeas in
which the patient was able TO be about
within short time of his death, and in
which the post mortem examination re-
vealed extensive disease of the meninges
of the brain, with Screenings of its sut-
stance. DIR. Welch of Willi-ton related a
similar case. So says the Messenger.

Late Dairy Market.

The butter market on Tuesday was
quiet, and there was an advance of about
one cent pound on ell grades. We
quote Common, 13 10 16c; good, 23c !;
prime, 26c; cheese, 10 to 13 lie. Ship
ments-butter, I1043 tubs; cheese, 81
boxes.
At Richmond, Monday, the market was
quiet, and buyers were not disposed to
take hold very sharp. One hundred tubs
were sold, at from t20 to 23c; and $50
boxes of cheese, at 4 TO Sc.
At Utica the best butter brings only 20
cents. In New York the best grades sell
from 25 to 2Sc. The cheese market at
Utica and other dairy centers is weak,
| lower prices will have to be accepted Ii
sales are made. In Boston butter is dali
at 20 to 26c for fine Vermont. The mar
ket is also Idull for Ianything except for
fine cheese.

The transportation of MILK.
NEW LEBANON, June 2


Editor Rutland Hey'ald:-The subject of
care in the curing of milk has been urged
upon the farmers with so much per-
tenacity that it seems TO me, some of them
think those of us who have urged il, were
becoming either crazy or foolish, and 60
they have followed their own Judgment,
regardless of the cautions given them.
Now for the result.
have before me, the report of sales OF
milk by Messrs. Cummings, Baker 81 Co,
for the half month, from May 18th, TO
June 1st, amounting to 1,730 csns, and
find the following facts: 10 dairies sent
AT cans all sweet and well cured; %
oairies sent $50 cans of which all but forty
were sweet; 6 dsiries sent $40 cans of
which SO were sour; 3 dsiriss sent 103
cans of which 30 were sour. This shows !;
First, That it depends upon the farmer,
whether his milk goes to the city in good
order or not. Second, That out of 1,257
cans sent by 81 dairymen, only forty fall
ed to be sweet and we'll cured. Third,
that it is useless to attempt to send milk
to New York, unless the party designing
to send, has made up his mind to follow
the directions so plainly laid down by
Messrs. Cummings, Baker & Co.
Mr.. Cummings, has explained to my
satisfaction the cause of there being so
large a proportion of the 473 cans sent by
ten dairymen, sour and in bad order,
averaging about 20 per cent. while if
proper care had been used, there is no
good reason why their average per centage
should not have been ss small as on@the
1857 cans. Very truly,
M. S. TILDKN.

The Agricultural Productions of
Vermont

We have IN previous articles compared
the productions of our State, as shown by
the figures of the last census, with those
Of the census of 1860. We proceed TO
make some comparisons between the coun.
ties, as they stand in the elaborate table
of the agricultural productions of our
State in 1870, published by us exclusively
few days since. Our readers who took
the pains to study that table, must have
been surprised, we think, to find the
county which takes the lead of the State,
in the column of .'total value If all farm
productions, including betterments and
| additions to stock" to be Washington
county. We should have supposed that
Washington would be surpassed in such
sn aggregate, by both of the larger and
wealthier counties of Windsor and Rot
lin. But the ''total value" of productions
of Washington, is set down at s., ,666. .376.
Windsor county comes nex' ut S3.479, :.
09S; Rutland next, So tisIepIs; Franklin
furtb, So, ,236. 1872; Cb,. fifth. So
O9s, ,4O4 Addison sixth, SS,5tR,5 768 None
of the other counties exceed $4,000, 900,
which are the figures for Orange county.
We have looked, certainly with no
envy of the thrift and prosperity of Wash
ington, to find to what main article or
articles of production it owes it, leader
ship in total value; but we can discover
no other important column in which it
leads the State, except that of oats. In
production OF butter, Washington is sur
passed by franklin Co. in cheese by
Rutland, Chittendep, Franklin and three
or four other counties: in value of live
stock by Windsor, Rutland, Addison,
Franklin and Cbittenden; in maple sugar
by Caledopis aud Orleans, and 50 on.
In number of horses and milch cows,
we fad Rutland TO be the banner county.
In working oxen and other cattle. Wind
sor takes the lead. In sheep, Windsor
county far exceeds any other. Orleans
county raises the most spring wheat and
the most barley. Addison county raises
the most rye. Windsor county raises tbs
most Indian corn and the most wool.
Orange county leads on buckwheat and
orchard products. Rutland county on
potatoes; Franklin county on butter
| Chittenden on cheese; Addison on bay.
Orleans county produces about az many
| hops az all the rest of the state besides. In
value of animals slaughtered, Chittenoen
county considerably exceeds every other
| county.

DANBY.-Rev. J. @. Mott of West Rut-

here, in place of Rev. A. W. Eastman, on
Sunday, June 18th. ....
Judge NJ. Fl. Cook, who, by the way,
ia not behind in such matters, planted
some corn in his garden last week Thurs
day, which was up in sight on Monday
following, period of but three days.
This we call rapid sprouting. The Judge
does not wish to have it understood that
this is. his usual time for planting, for he
is generally in good season with this kind
of work, fact to which we can attest.

Awake, nIt harp. too long thou'st hung,
Where weeping willows grow;
Too long have been thy chords unstrung
And hushed by music's flow.
Too long thy minstrel voice hath slept,
Till mould is on thy strings,
And like moth hath silence crept
To pluck the bardling's wings.
Shall words of cheer inspire our song,
We of "the tuneful Nine 7"
Or Mercy's melting strains prolong
Der all our hills Of pine?
Shall politics be now our theme,
Or patriot zeal invitei
Battle We in Thoughts pellucid stream,
Or roam the va'es of Night
None-none Of these shall wake the song
That sets the soul afame,
Let Truths eternal strains prolong,
Aye-spaak the Christians shame.
Twas harvest eve when last adown thy winding
stream strayed,
Each silver star shining far DER hill and grassy
glade;
The pale round moon, efulgent, poured her ray;
of liquid light,
AS slowly, proudly up she rolled, the peerless
queen of night.
The whispering winds that sadly sighed the sultry
summer day,
Not wantoned with thy limpid drops, then sped
them on their way;
Thy winsome waters caught the strain, ane
sweeping grand and free,
Together sang an anthem old as angel minstrelsy
The husbandman with weary feet had to his home
returned;
To shun the labors of the day, his anly soul hai
spurned
The frugal meal-toil sweetened-o'er, and carr
and sorrow fed,
His household all in unison breathe blessings or
his head.
While pond'ring, wond'riDg thus stroled, m!
soul in pensive cast,
dwelt upon the future years and borrowed o'e
the past;
I saw Expressions iron car where Terror rears he
throne,
Move mournfully yet surely on and heard her vic
Tins groan.
In mem'ry, saw once again the Indians bircheI
boat
Skim softly Ger from shore to shore, lightly
fairies float.
The Indian climbed the mountains cliff and scaled
its crsggy crest,
That like giant, old and grim, lay mirrored Oh
thy breast.
The eagle in her eyrie on Monadnock's rock,
height,
In craven fear at his wild cheer her pinion
plumed for flight.
The fierce Agonquins of the north-unconquere'
kings in fray,
Swooped grandly down in untamed pride to Mar
ragansett Bay.
The Micmacs and Pokanokets, Pequots and Ire

And Metamora, Massasoit, King Philips tireles
braves,
Have reached their happy hunting grounds-the

From where st. Lawrence frantic floods met
wild Atlantic's sands,

All, nevermore shall streamlet's shore give gree

honest man vote a. many times and
IN as many places as he can.

bonds which were given for the sup
preston of the Democratic rebellion
5th. Free trade. Let England do
