| MRS. MoULToN.-As the musical festival
draws near, it may not be amiss to notice more
particularly the merits of some of the diStin-
| guished artists who are to appear; and promi
nent in the list stands the name of Mrs. Charles
| Moulton. The managers were fortunate in Sc.
curing the services of this celebrated vocalist
| This country has produced several fine profes-
| SiOnll female singers, among whom we might
mention Miss Kellogg, Miss Phillips Madame
Van Zandt and many Others. Even Patti was
| born in America, although of foreign parents.
Mrs. Moulton is also one of our own artists, and
is scarcely second to any of the great prima
donnas in this country or abroad. There would
seem to be something favorable in our climate
to the proper development of the finer qualities
of the voice.
On the first appearance of Mrs. Mouton in
| New York, she was enthusiastically received
and applauded to the very echo Public expec-
tation was rather exacting, because of the honors
she had received from the royal courts of Eu-
rope. but it was not disappointed. There was
never seen more fashionable or critical audi,
ences than were present at her cor 3erts, both in
New York and Boston. All 80 were present
at her concert in this city, a few months ago,
will award to her all that her most ardent ad,
mirers have done elsewhere. In a word, there
is about Mrs. NJ. strong fascination, which is
felt before she opens her lips at all, and which
afterwards can hardly be resisted. But this is
not all. She has great purity aud volume of
| Tone surprising finish in her e..ecution, amaz-
ing facility and unexceptonable elegance of her
dorid passages, which deserve and gain unmiXed
| admiration. The New York Times says:
OF all past singers, Mrs. Moulton undoubtedly
most recalls the traditions of Malibran Her voice
is mezzo-soprano of exquisite righteousness
sweet rather than strong, although of strength su-
cient, very even in extended range, and produc-
ing when first heard. the kind of strange thrill Of
admiring exultation wrought by the first glorious
bloom of spring flowers or the first view Of a sub
lime landscape, What is the secret of this? Simply
the revelation of capacity for passion; revelation
| conveyed by the most perfect of musical instru-
| ments, whose natural beauty has been brought to
the rarest perfection without being hardened and
| worn away by the educating attritions.

We give on the first page Of this week
FARMER two prescriptions sent us by corre-
spondents, which we believe to be safe and
likely to do good. But we wish to caution
our readers against any rash or severe treat
ment in this disease. An exchange, refer
ring TO this point says:
There begins to be nm impression that the
apparent delay in the progress of improve
ment in the horse disease in the great cities,
is In some degree due to the increase of the
number of persons who, with little or no
knowledge of the horse or his complaints,
are suggesting all sorts of eXporim The
horse is entitled TO the best Of nursing and to
extreme care lest he be overworked or taken
out before he is convalosccnt; but rs he Is un.
able to demonstrate against empirical treat
mcnt, his owner ought TO be careful that he is
not ignornntly dosed under the advice of men
who know nothing about the effect Of then
advice and their nostrums. For example, a
man in Portland the other day, gave his sick
horse quart Of castor oil, u quart of milk
and pint OF turpentine. twas forced down
the ANIMALS throat and, strange to say, he
lived for two hours alter.
We learn from private letter to resi-
dent of St. Johnsbury, that fifteen horses
died of the epizootic on Saturday last, il
Littleton, N. H., which shows the exceptions
severity with which it attacks its victims il
some localities.

Election of Railroad Commissioner

The Montpelier correspondent Of the Free
Press thus writes oftho election of X. II. COM
missioner by the Joint Assembly Thursday:
The chief music was on Railroad Com
missioner. The place is an absolute sine
cure, and the title of the statute creating it
should be changed So rs TO read AN act re-
curing the railroads to give free passes and
$500, n year to some clever fellow No less
than three candidates We're presented from
Chittcnden County. Ofcourse none of them
stood much chance in the ballot, though if
the votes given to the three had been concen-
trated on any one, it would have made him
one of the leading candidates. The jocular
way in which some Of the candidates were
presented, showed the very slight Importance
attached to the office. Ono was urged on
the ground that he could jump nimbly from
n train; another (Mr. Wecd) because he was
"tall enough TO reach corruption in high pla-
ces, and short enough to Weed out abus-
cs.n The successful man was Judge NJ. w.
Bailey of St. Adams, who entered the race
only II day or two ago. and ran on his crutch-
Is far better than his athletic competitors.
His disabilities, contracted as soldier in the
services of the country, in fact gave him the
place, and |, for one, am willing the office
should be continued, il it could be made u

Woodstock is the shire town Of the largest
county IN Vermont. Its representatives in
the Legislature have been generally men OF
acknowledged ability and in many instances
pre-eminontly so the town has always been n
power mt Montpelier DR., Boynton, our pres
Gnt representative, although new member,
was expected to take II good position in the
House, which expectation is already justified
by lnct, lie is and was, therefore, doubly
entitled 10 consideration. But, somehow, Inc
has actually no place WhdteUcr on the stand
ing committees of our House OF Represents
tivos. Now, with all respect, but in all seri-
business, we say to Mr. Speaker Fairbanks,
What does this mean?
We quote the above, with surprise and
doubt, from the Woodstock Post DR.
BOynton is a man Of mark, not only in his
own county, but abroad good man, an able
man, and popular man. We cannot be-
lieye that our generous, appreciatve, whole
souled Speaker could Willingly have ignored
the qualifications of so prominent and useiu
citizen, and-what is Of still more impor
tance-the just claims Of his constituents t.
proper recognition at his hands.

Death of Mrs. Greeley.

The death of Mrs. Greeley, which for the
last few days had been hourly expected, took
place mt tho residence of friend in New
York mt four o'clock Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Greeley, who for several days and nights
had hardly quilted her side, had retired but
n short time before, worn out with watching
and loss of sleep, leaving the sufferer in
charge of the youngest daughter, Ida who
was the sole attendant at her mothers death
been constant invalid, her late European
tour failing TO produce any beneficial effect
upon her health. She was woman of fine
intellect, and was greatly beloved by those
who knew her for her many excellent quail
tiles of head and heart. Tho public without
exception, will sympathizo with Mr. Greeley
in his bereavement

Our readers do not need to be told that
we heartily rejoice at the termination CT the
lively and somewhat bitter contest over the
republican congressional nomination in this
district. 1t is not only contrary to the plan
of our paper, but repugnant to our personal
feelings, to be mixed up with party politics.
While as an individual we have decided
political opinions, and always sustain those
opinions by our vote whenever we can fluid
party or candidate that represents them
which is not always-we mean to make the
FARMER the organ of different cause.-the
cause of Agricultural Progress and Farm
ers' Rights" This is the motto on our ban
ner, and we will welcome all, no matter what
their political views may be, who will aid in
the support of the principles it represents.

the proceedings Of the Massachusetts, and
Maine Boards (thc oldest and most efficient
bodies Of the kind in the country,) will be
convinced Of the importance of the point to
which we have alluded.
As to the value Of such Board to the
state, we take the liberty of presenting TO
our readers letter recently received from
the Governor Of Maine in reply to an in
quiry as to the real value of an Agricultural
Board where its workings have been long un-
der trial, and its claims to usefulness can be
satisfactorily judged.
My DEAR SIR Your note OF August 9th,
asking my opinion MS to the usefulness of our
State Board of Agriculture, has been received.
Having been member of the Board at its
organization in 1859 and II close observer of
its work since that time, may be justified in
speaking with some degree of confidence.
The advantage to tho farming interest Of the
State. derived from the meetings and discus
sions of the Board and the report of the sec
rotary, has been very great. Through these
instrumontalities greater interest has been
created, useful knowledge disseminated, and
better methods of cultivation have been
adopted. am quite certain that | express
the sentiments of n large majority of our peo-
pie when l say we should regard the abolish
ment of the Board in this state us n public
misfortune. Very respectfully yours,

Is there Need OF Reform2

The New York EiRanc,or, an able and in
dependent commercial journal, not political,
thus graphically sketches the evils that pos
soss our political and business systems and
make reform Il necessity:
If the country was never so prosperous us
now, let us waste no breath in talk about re-
form, for no reform is needed; il the contra
ny is the fact, n knowledge of the disease
must precedo the remedy. That there is less
honor and ability expected in legislation, an
certainly less realized, than ever before; that
oilicc-holders are more generally "on the
make" that monopoly is more fixed, more
ambitious, more powerful, more deeply and
confidently planning; that rings control al
most every large enterprise, and are reach
ing after the rest; that great offenders arc
more secure against justlce that party poll
tics are more completely matter of bargain
and SALE in which the consent of the people
| is not even asked; that, in short, the general
standard of integrity is lower, and the public
conscience us to morality less sensitive, than
| formcrly,--arc these things true? Far too
much so the darkened picture is less pleasant
to draw and contemplate than the rosy one,
| but of the two it is the trucr to facts. EXpe-
rience has shown that all public affairs move
from ring to ring, and from one step in cor
ruption to another, year by year, until u gen
eral rising in public sentiment is compelled,
| and this breaks the rings, clears the afr, and
produces temporary reform, which gives
way again to n gradualrcturn of the old evil.
If no reform Mt all were had the social sys-
| TEN would go to pieces; if mankind were
better than is the reality. the reform might
stay; but as things arc, these temporary re-
turnlngs Of honesty and ability in public af-
fairs are the best of which there is II reason
able hope. The defeat of Grant may not
bring such return; his recollection is quite
rs likely to prccipitate it, but it is certainly
| time for cleansing to come. Old-flshlonCd
honesty. ability and justice-a trio of bless
ings too short and far betwcen-are sorely
needed ut present and they never had more
work before them than now. To face facts
squarely, in u clear light, and to realize what
is the need of reform, is the first step toward
getting it, let disin;ercsted politicians protest
| rs they may.
