The people Of Vermont and the

many of them, especially those engag-

occupied inattending aguculturalmeet-

Gets relating to their honorable calling
and also for the transaction Of the

societies and men, will properly car

INCREASING THE SALARIES OF Con
HEssMEN. Among the secret PROPOSE
lions now before Congress, that is,
propositions which are secretly work
ed up before they are made public in
the form OF bill or resolution. is one
TO increase the salaries OF Senators and
members to $4,000 or $4,000 Il year.
Those who have conceived this pro-
.iect, in order to gain strength for it,
have proposed to make the act re-
troactiye, so as TO apply to the whole
ofthe present Congress. in this way
they hope to enlist in its support many
members whose terms of Office expire
on the 4th Of March next, and who
would vote against any increase that
would apply only to the future II is
claimed by the friends Of the measure
that majority Of each house is il
favor Of this increase, but it is doubt

Reciprocal Trade with Canada

Wien the ciprocity treaty with
Canada was terminated by our Gov
eminent in 1865. after it had been in
operation eleven years. we were Just
emerging from The smoke Of the civil
war and beginning to appreciate its
burdens. We not only felt the need
OF every dollar Of revenue that could
be raised, but we also felt sore towards
Canada for the reason that Canada
lent It's moral influence to the division
Of the Union. The people Of Canada
Or the governin" class-not unnatur-
ally entertained the idea that it would
be better for them 70 have two mutual
ly suspicious republics in place Of one,
made homogeneous and firmly united
by the abolition OF slavery. The ter
mination Of the reciprocity treaty was
attributable to the feeling on the part
OF our people towards Canada that it
had been on the other side during the
war which cost us 50 heavily, In short.
was it not terminated ont Of spite {?
1t always seems to us that that was
the case. Have we ever made anything
out Of it? There are different opinions
on the subject, but the most enlighten-
ed mercantile opinion Of the country,
and great preponderancc of it, is in
favor Of reciprocity treaty. Ameri-
can and Canadian merchants stand to-
gether on this question, and the fact
that they use substantially the same
arguments shows that there is but lit
tie opposition of interests in the two
countries upon it. The Canadian Gov
eminent seem to appreciate the impor-
lance Of new treaty. 1t offers to en-
large the Welland and other canals,
making them available for the largest
class Of steamers and sail vessels, with
out any cost to the people of the Unit
ed States. In other words, they offer
to give US continuous water navigation
from the lakes to Montreal, and, if
needed, to the ocean, free OF all cost
ard expense to oor people, on the SIM
pie condition OF reciprocity treaty.
The duties collected on imports from
Canada amount to but a tribe, while
the reduction of treights upon corn and
wheat five cents Il bushel would be a
vast Importance to the producers of the
Northwest. The argument that re-
tlnsal to make new reciprocity treaty
would tend to increase the annexation
sentiment in Canada, which was once
considered OF some value, is no longer
good. The true way to encourage the
growth OF annexation feeling is to in
crease the communications between
the two countries, and this a reciprocity
treaty would do.

glass and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
tile hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
nent, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
lis occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off. and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration Of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruif, which is often so un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
dcleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
iustre, and grateful perfume.

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections Of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases OF Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed were
they not proven beyond dispute. As n remedy,
it Is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
tOrerunners Of more serious disease, it saves I'M
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
TO be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Alice
tons, which are easily met at first, but which
become incurable and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwisc to be without it. As safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Infiu.
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cared.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and

memorable as the greatest it has ever effected
