Tho people ofthe state aud elsewhere
were surprised and panied to learn,
last week, Of the deialcation Of Gen
Stannard our bravest and most honorcd
soldier The Burlington Free Press
thus speaks oft
We announce with more pain than
we can we'll express, the resignation Of
Gen. Geo ] Stanuard, as collector Of
Customs for the District of Vermont,
in consequence Of heavy deficit in his
accounts, which has suddenly como TO

The news Of this sad piece Of bust

TINT ruousANn MEN.

About eight months since it was
stated in the Vermont Senate that if a
charter was granted for the building Of
a railroad from Bennington to connect
with the Troy & Boston Railroad near
our state line, a thousand men would
be put to work to build it within nine
ty days.
Several Of our Bennington friends
are anxious to know when that thous-
and men are to commence work Ben
nington has said we want the Waloom-
sac Road, and expects its projectors to
20 on with the work and put it in run
ming order,
We up here who think the old road
should be run to accommodate Ben
nington, and towns north are beginning
to guess" that the Walloomsac Road
leads to Montpelier instead Of Troy.
How is it gentlemen Of the board Of
direction of the "Walloomsac" do you
mean business Z and if so bo,g soon will
you break ground and ,ohen will the
new Troy connection be made
If you 60 to Montpelier this fall ii
must not be on an imaginary line
drawn from Gates Hotel to the Burgess
Bridge.
We have waited now almost as long
as we did for the connection from Ben
nington to Chatham, that was fifty sew.
en- miles some of the way uphill, -
your line is only about seven miles
long, shall it be said that you are be-
hind, Park in so small a matter as
building seven miles Of railroad.
Bennington County is waiting to sec
you move. Your talk has been pleasant
to the ear, but it is now time to put on
that thousand men.

M. Editor.

M. Editor:
In your paper recently | saw a
letter from a South Berlin farmer COM
planning about sending milk to New
York, and trying to show that it is
better TO make butter and cheese. He
gives as one reason that the cans
require more care from the man, in the
winter when sending milk to New
York. If butter is made, the cows do
not require much care in the winter,
and in the summer the women do the
milking and butter making, and the
small boy drives the cows to pasture
in the morning and brings them up at
night.
1his'makes light work for such men
as imagine your South Berlin farmer
is. He is probably one Of the kind
that does not take into account, the
labor saved to his wife and daughters,
and consider that all he gets out OF
them is clear gain If the cooking,
washing, mending, ironing, baking etc.
to say nothing of bringing up a brood
of children and care of family in sick
ness and health is not enough, why add
butter and cheese making, so as to
keep the women folks busy while
you smoke your pipe and scold about
the railroad and town bonds.
don't pretend to know anything
about how the milk is managed in New
York, mean the sale of it, but if it is
not done honestly, why don't the farm
ers set up a place in New York and
sell the milk themselves. / am sure
New York people would be glad to get
good pure Vermont milk.
At any rate Mr.. Farmer from South
Berlin, take into account the labor
saved to the "women folks" the next
time you write such a letter to the
Journal otherwise you will get a reply
from A FARMERS WIFE IN DANBY.

The New York H.rald Of Monday
last, after commenting upon the Gin
cinuati Convention and it's foolish
managers" comes to the conclusion
that the soreheads are 20 be used sim,
ply for the purpose Of dividing the Re
publican Party, SO that the Democrats
may elect their nominee.
That Horace Greeley should allow
himself to be used in this vile effort to
throw the government into the hands
Of Mr.. August Belmont, and his follow
ers north and south, astonishes be.
yond measure many Of Mr.. Greeleys
heretofore warm political admirers.
That the Democrats are playing a
neat little game Of 'heads win, tails
you lose with the ambitious Carl
Schurz element of the Republican
Party, is as plain as daylight to any
one not among the deluded victims.
The Hrraid says
THE Democratic managers in our
judgement, have not tho remotest idea
ofacccpting the Cincinnati ticket, non
the remotest expectation Of a ticket
from that quarter which they can ac-
cept They are doing all they can dc
to bring into the field a third party
which will draw its forces from the adj.
ministration ranks. We think we are
perfectly safe in tho prediction that on
the sth Of May Mr., Belmont and his
committee will issue their call for THEN
national party Convention and for the
appointment Of delegates thereto from
all the States, and that this Conven'
ton, in order to maintain the party or
ganization intact, will nominate a
Democratic ticket Oh a new departure
ignoring the Cincinnati Convention.
There is no alternative offered the
Democrats which does not involve the
dissolution Of their party. General
Grant is stronger than the politicians
everywhere. We have letter from
Pennsylvania which, in defining the
position Of Colonel Forney, shows that
even a division of the republicans upon
State politics and local rings will not
affect the popular strength Of Grant
An attempt, therefore, TO merge the
democratic party in a boiling repub'
lican party would probably carry oven
10 Grant half the Democrats of the
country before the end Of the battle
This danger will be avoided in the
nomination Of a regular Democratic
ticket in due season. With this event
should there be a ticket from Cincin.

TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS,

SHAFTsBuRY, April %, 1872.
l understand by the last weeks
JOURNAL that candidates at the Teach
ers Examinations for the ensuing year
are to be marked in Civil Government.
But, as | understand it, this is not one
of the subjects required by law to be
taught in our common schools. /
hope the day is not far distant, when
teachers shall be required by law to
give instructions in this cery important
subject. But until such is the case
it seems to me hardly proper to mark
teachers in it. / am glad that the
questions to be proposed to teachers
the coming year are to be more difficult
than those used last year, This is pro-
gress in the right direction.
One thing does not seem to be fully
understood by some Of our teachers yet,
namely, that licenses run out on the
first Of April instead Of holding good
a year from date as was the case pre-.
vious to last year
A FRrESD or Con-. ScHooIs.
Our correspondent we think, is
slightly in error in regard to the re-
quirements Of the statutes Of Vermont
in regard to civil government. The
statutes provide that competent teach
ers shall be provided to teach among
other things "the History and Consti-
tuition Of the United States, and "to
give special instructions in the consti-
tuition and principles Of government Of
the State Of Vermont" This would in-
oIudc civil government to a certain cx-
tent aud TO a far greater extent than
most Of our teachers, we fear, are quail.

feet in this section, and We trust that

Superintendcnts 10 make such suitable
aud reasonable connections as will ac-
commodate the people Of Western Yer
mont Valley aud benefit the business
interests Of Troy
There is no good reason why the
Troy & Boston trains should not run
to North Bennington, or the Harlem
Extension trains 10 Hoosick Junction.
The latter plan would be the most
economical one for the railroads.
As for the Walloomsac Railroad the
people north Of Bennington feel no
special interest in it, 1t is looked up
on as a move mainly political
The Press says oft!
"If there had been life and energy
enough in the Walloomsac enterprise
to answer the purposes Of the slowest
going sloth that ever gnawed bark, the
road would have been built by this
time"
We can assure the Press that the
apathy it speaks Of, in regard to better
connections with Troy does not exist
here. Everybody desires good railroad
connections with Troy and the West.
Up to this time it has been under
stood that the Troy & Boston Co.
would not do anything for us north of
Bennington If there is a disposition
on the part of the Troy 4. Boston man
ayers to meet the Harlem Extension
| Co, in a liberal spirit, the Harlem Ex-
tension people may as well understand
that they will be expected to do their
full share in giving us satisfactory con-
nections with Troy and the West.
