WEST fMRLrE RAILROAD. commissioners
of the West Fairlee Railroad Company of YER
mont have given notice that books will be opened
on the 2lst of December next to receive subscrp-
tions TO the capital stock of the road. This road
if built, would be one Of considerable Importance,
making the distance by rail from Montpelier to
W bite River junction about l2 miles less than
by any other route II would also accommodate
all the copper mining district in the State, which
Is now unaccommodated by any railroad. Some
of the mines, especially the West Fairee mine,
if fully developed, would add largely to the
wealth of the State, being capable OF furnishing
about sixty tons Of melted copper per month, and
one hundred tons per day Of debris ore as reghts;
The people are wide awake on the subject all
along the Ompompanoosuc valley 1t will no
doubt be pushed through.-Journci

One year ago the state Of Vermont had in her
domains the following named men, who were
recognized as elements Of mental power through
out the State II. y. Kitchcl, j 49, Angel, d.
d. Gorham, Judah Dana, 4. j. Sanborn, j. s.
Cilley, o. II. Kilc, l.. r. Ward, j 4. Goodrich,
j. + Bingham, H. pollcns, and $. II Pearl
These men had aborcd earnestly and studiously
in their professions as educators, until their sue
cess was an axiom, and their influence was felt in
all the educational interests Of Vermont Why
has Michigan taken Angel New Hampshire,
Goodrich and pearl2 Massachusetts, Ward and
Gorham, and Rhode Island, Kilc} Simply, be-
cause these States have been willing TO offer these
men reasonable compensation for their services.
Is Vermont so poor that She must allow her Sis
ter States to take from her such men of experience
and mental power, and compel her to dll their
places with men Of less experience and influence
No; Vermont is not poor. She is richer to-day
than any Of the States mentioned above. But
her people have been unwilling to pay their tcach-
cr~ as they ought. They give them just enough
to keep them from the olms-house. There are
wealthy men of other professions in Vermont, but
not a wealthy teacher. There is 90 class OF men
or women that does more for the prosperity OF the
state than the teachers
There is no reason why Vermont should lose
six from among her twelve most prominent teach
crs during the past year. No one will deny that
it is great loss to the State to be deprived of the
services ofsuch men of long experience and ability
Though have no children 30 educate, yet feel d
deep interest in the education Of others, and hope
that the people OF this State will see % it 10 the
future that they are not deprived of so many of
her ahlcst teachers, simply because some other
State is willing TO give them better componsl
tion for their arduous lobJr. W w. T.

An Ugly LooE.-Thero Is an ugly look about
the story of one Chamberlain of Mortified, who
stopped at one of our hotels on the day before
Thanksgiving, in company with his wife and an
other lady, none Of them however registering
their names After leaving his horse and ladies
at the hotel, Chamberlain went up street. On
bis return to the hotel he stated that he had gone
somewhere, he didn't know where, and drank
some liquor All that he remembered was that
he was put into wagon, taken over on to the
Berlin side and dropped, the parties taking him
there first trying to rifle his pockets, but iortu-
natoly for him, not getting at the place where he
kept his money, lie found himself the next
morning at some house on the Berlin side,

~ We are very glad to hear the opinion
expressed from intelligent sources that the
destruction Of timber by the recent fires in
Michigan has been greatly over estimated
The Detroit TriLuae, which has been at much
trouble to ascertain the amount Of damage
done by the fires, reports that not more than
five per cent. Of the standing pine timber Of
the State has been touched, and that not more
than one per cent. Of this will be lost The
balance" says the TriJVac, " will be mostly
cut this winter, at some extra cost in money
and labor, but saved from absolute loss and
made available for the market at perhaps
some diminution Of profit to the manuiac.
turcr.' This opinion is based upon the re-
suits Of actual surveys, and it may therefore
he accepted as approximating the truth, at
least. Fortunately, the fires were most de.
structiye in the counties Of Huron and SAM
lac, from which most of the valuable timber
has been cleared off, Other counties have
sustained much damage, but the great bulk of
the pine timber of Michigan lies to the north
west of these counties, and has most wholly
escaped the ravages of the fires. If the win
ter proves favorable to numbering operations,
the supply of pine in the market will be I'M
precedentcd in quantity, although good deal
of it will be damaged in quality by being
more or less burned
