Eattening Animals.

Numerous experiments have been
made on geese, ducks, pigs, bees. etc.
which go to prove that these animals
accumulate much more fat than can be
accounted for by the quantity present in
the food. NJ. Flourens had the bears
in the Jarden DIES Plantes fed exclusive
ly on bread, and they became excessively
fat. Bees confined TO diet of purified
sugar continue to produce wax. which
strictly belongs to the group of fat.
But, whatever its source, the excessive
use of Neutrality-suspicious. food conioined
with inactivity frequently leads to the
deposit of an inOrdinate amount of
Oleaginout matter. This fact is Illus
tratcd by numerous instances both
among the lower animals and among
men. At 6trasburg the geese are fat
tened by shutting them up in darkencd
COOps within heated room, and stuffing
them constantly with food. The HIGH
temperature lessons the escape of heat.

procure this in perfection the natural
habits of the bird were watched, AID. it
having been found that it only takes
food at the rising of the sun, they cheat
the birds by producing an artificial sun
rise. To effect this, the ortolans are
placed in a dark, warm chamber which
has but one aperture in the wall. Food
being scattered over the floor, a lantern
is placed at certain hour in the open
ing, when the birds, misled by the dim
light, at once commence feeding. The
meal finished, the lantern is withdrawn
and more food scattered about. when the
ortolans sleep. Two or three hours
having elapsed, and digestion being
completed, the lantern is again made to
throwits light into the apartment. The
rising sun recalls the birds to the habit
of again feeding and they again sleep
with returning darkness. This process
is repeated several times in the twenty
four hours, and in q very short time the
ortolan becomes literally ball of fat.

Two Tourists Lost i'm the Crater
of Vesuyius.

The Re0iStd of Naples contains the
following account of the loss of two
gentlemen in the crater of Vesuvius,
who with great temerity insisted on be-
ing lowered down to the crater: A
party was formed to ascend Mount We
suvius on Friday afternoon in the Cate
d Europa, consisting of two Americans,
three Englishmen and one Frenchman.
On Sunday night they took carriages
from the cafe for Resina, reaching there
at half past II p. m. Having procured
horses, guides and other necessaries,
they started for the burning mountain
and began the ascent, one Luigi GarogliO
leading as cicerone, and arrived at the
base of the uppermost cone, further than
which horses do not go. The tourists then
began the ascent over the hillocks and
bOulders of lava until the vicinity of the
crater was reached, when Messrs. James
Wilcox and Francois LIE Mieur, an
American and a Frenchman, insisted on
being lowered down to the cavern which
is formed below the mouth of the vol
canO. Two guides, who provided them
selves with ropes for that purpose, coup

anticipated; but when one of the party
above the crater called out to the rash
adventures, no answer was returned.
The guides, growing anxious, cried,
Gentlemen, it would be better for you
to hold to the ends of the ropes. Still
the ropes remained slack, and no answer
came from the sulphuriOus and msrky
cavern below. Twenty minutes passed
and the adventures were yet silent 1t
was then proposed that one of the guides
should be lowered down and hold on to
the ropes until he had investigated the
appearance of the cavern base. He had
hardly entered when he cried out loudly.

Especial Correspondence of the Herald.l
Letter from the Capital.
MONTPELIER, Oct. 81.


The past week has been rather lively
one in the Capitol, and considerable pro-
gress has been made in the business of
the session, if the large number of bills
introduced is an Indication. The most
important bill thus far, was introduced
IN the Senate this morning by Senator
Veazey, which is bill to incorporate
the Central Vermont Railroad Company,
designed, we should judge, to close up
the affairs of Vermont Central, and to
take its place as a body corporate. 1t
is long bill with important provisions,
but evidently drawn to relieve the pres
ent management of the road from their
embarrassments. A general railroad
act, is one of forthcoming measures,
soon to be brought forward, which will
doubtless, also, be in the careful phrase
ology of the Senator from Rutland, who
introduced the Central Vermont bill.
Aside from the routine legislative
business last week, considerable progress
was made in the outside work. On Fri
day morning the joint 'clergy commit
tee, " as it is called, went to the Brattle-
boro Insane Asylum, supposed from
some well devised fiction to be partially
under the control of the State, (conclu-
sive evidence that the State is insane,
and in the afternoon of the same day,
the balance of the Legislature went to
the Reform School, where they spent
couple of hours to good advantage, in
specting the premises.
We omit our correspondents account,
as we publish in another column a letter
on the subject from an occasional cor
respondent.
The election of certain State officers
is postponed till the 31st inst, awaiting
the appearance of the ''reports" which
it is claimed were delayed by mand1m-
us, from which they have not fully re-
covered.
AS the three Congressional districts
hold their district conventions this week
some vacant chairs will probably be seen
in the halls of legislation, especially
among those occupied by members from
the second district. The delegate count
according to latest reports, stands
ninety for Poland to ttfty-seven for
Steele and five to hear from.

Fish Culture.

The subject of fish culture is one that
receives increasing attention in the
United States and elsewhere. and impOr-
tant movements have been made looking
toward tie multiplication of useful food
fishes in the waters of this country. An
appropriation Of S1j. 600 was made bv
Congress for this purpose, with special
reference to the increase of snad and
salmon. The late date at which the ap-
preparation was available prevented the
possibility of doing much in regard to
shad during the coming year: but Mr..
Seth Green and Mr.. William Cliff. I'M
der the direction Of the United States
commissioner Of fish and fisheries, have
succeeded in introducing in good conli-
ton large numbers of shad into the Al
leghany river into the White river. In
Indiana; into the upper Mississippi at
st. Paul; and into the Platte at Denver.
in Colorado. A much more extensive
work in the same direction is contem-
plated for the coming year: and it is
hoped that the wants of the Mississippi
valley viii be made to abound in this
fish as fully as those of the Atlantic sea
board. Much encouragement in this
direction is derived from the fact that
shad are now obtained in the upper wa
tiers of the Alabama and Escambia rivers
in Alabama, and in the Ouachita, at the
Hot Springs, Arkansas, the latter lOcali-
ty being over thousand miles from the
mouth Of the Mississippi.
Arrangements have been made by the
United States commissioner for securing
salmon eggs on a large s.alC-some from
the Sacramento river, in California.
some from PenobscOt, in Maine. and
others from the Rhine, etc. These will
be introduced into the waters of the
New England states, the Hudson. the
Delaware, the Susquehanna, the poto-
mac, and perhaps even the James, and
into tie great lakes.
Shad, under the direction of the state
commissioners of New York and Yer
mont, have been introduced into Lake
Champlain, the Genessce river. OnOndara
lake and the Hudson. Private enter
prise has also placed a number Of Young
salmon in the Delaware. Black bass
have been taken, under the direction of
the California commissioners. from New
York, and placed in suitable waters in
California; and other parties have car
ried the same fish to England. EaHor's

Next saturday we expect TO see great
additions to the amount of products Of
fered, and, doubt not, that ere long
Brandon will be the best market in Rut-
land county, for we are the natural CEN
ter of large, rich farming community.
Let it be remembered that Saturday of
each week is the regular market day,
and it is for the interest of all producers
to aid in starting market which has
been 50 long needed in this part of the
State. We have been promised by two
large Boston dealers to send buyers here
every Saturday, as soon as it is settled
that such quantities of farm produce
will be offered for sale to warrant their
coming. I, therefore, again urge you to
bring in your products. Try, at first, as
small as you please, but bring some
thing, and soon you find that at Bran
don, on Saturday of each week, you can
sell everything you produce for cash at
its market value p.
