Having occasion to meet and converse
freely with citizens Of Magnolia within the
last iew days 10 regard to the practice Of
that virtue most contributory to orr present
happiness and that Of our children IN future,
We happily found most Of them endeavor-
iag to carry 5at the true and genuine maxim,
.hal to be happy and prosperous and cause
the rising generation to be SO, we must ex-
ercise tie virtues Of cheerful industry, tenn
perance, economy, fortitude, reciprocacy,
and forgiving spirit. All Of which we
found to predominate with the majority.
We found some, however like the miser,
who would fain have US believe that happi-
ness alone belonged to the miserable, meager
ghosts that constitute their own persons.
Poor fellows, they have no specific for
making either themselves or those around
them happy, Our object was to ascertain
the feelings Of the citizens in regard to the
building Of the Baptist Church 10 Magnolia
during the spring and summer months Of
this year. We found a liberal response
from many 10 and around town. All are
proud Of the fine ara aourishing Sunday

A YOUNG LADY SUES FOR BREACH
OF PRoMIsE.-A novelty case has been
ON trial before a jury in Montreal, the
plaintiff being dentist named Mathien,
who brings suit against a young lady
named Laffamme, for refusing to comply
with the terms of a marriage engage
nent into which che had previously en-
tered. This is said not to be the first
time at which she has violated the tenor
of the golden rule, and it is reported
that, to prove her malice forethought,
and the deliberation with which she ruth
lessly snapped the tooth .puller's heart
strings, her old discarded flames will adj
vance in solom procession and give evi-
dence against her with the view of es-
tablishing the fact that she jilts with
methodical regularity. 1t is also alleg-
ed that the fair lady gave her affianced,
the too confding dentist, notice of the
change in the thermometer of her affec-
tions only week previous to the day APP
pointed for ceremony and further, that
the doctor, in the fullness of touching
faith in her eternal constancy, had pro-
vided house and purchase the clothes
in which he was to be married og

Douglass and Lincoln.

Those who witnessed Lincoln's first
Inauguration will not soon forget one ht-
tie scene which then occurred. The pres
ident elect came forward upon the plat
form prepared at the east front of the
Capitol, with his natural awkwardness
increased by the momentous circumstan-
ces of the OCCASION, and by a gorgeous
wardrobe, in which it was evident he felt
exceedingly uncomfortable. The stiff
dress coat, vest and pantaloons of black
broadcloth were enough of themselves to
disturb his mental and physical equan-
unity, but to these were aided other in
cumbrances in the shape of a brand new
silk hat and a ponderous gold-headed
cane. The cane be managed to put away
in a corner, but the disposition of the
hat perplexed him greatly. 1t was too
good to throw away. too nice, as he
thought, to rest upon rough board, 80
for minute at least, poor Lincoln stood
there in the gaze of assembled thousands,
grasping the hat desperately and seek
ing in vain for safe place to deposit it.
Douglass, who sat Immediately in the
rear, saw the embarrassment of his rival
and rising took the shining beaver from
its sorely bothered owner and held it dur
ing the delivery ofthe inaugural address.
1t is doubtful whether, five years before,
Stephen A. Douglass ever dreamed that
he was destined to hold the hat Of Abra-
ham Lincoln while that individual was
appearing for the first time as President
of the United States. Missouri Repub-
ican.

Letter from Wisconsin.
SPIRITED RESPONSE TO THE FARMERS
OF WESTMINSTER.
Correspondence of the Bellows Falls Times.
WHITEWATER, Wis,
Feb. 81, 1878.

Editor of the Bellows Falls Times =
l was quite interested while reading the
discussion of the Westminster Farmers
Club of Feb. 7th, and as 1 was New
England boy, born in Westminster, Ver-
mont, would like to say few words in
favor of the West; as see most of the
discussion favored New England. Mr..
Pierce says their lakes, rivers and forests
are far superior to those in the West;
disagree with him there; look at the ex-
tensiye forests of northern Wisconsin and
Michigan with an annual production of
100000 1000 feet of lumber. This ould
supply New England for series of
years. While the West is thus cutting
her timber, she is planting 100,000,000
trees annually to supply the denudation.
And of lakes, the West is dotted all over
with small lakes of good pure water, be-
sides mineral springs far superior to
those of New England, not excepting
Saratoga Springs, and all that is want
ed to prove it so is time and capital
He says corn that must be sold for 10 or
Is cents per bushel, does not pay for
harvesting. know it would not in New
England or in the valley of the Connec-
ticut, where ! acre will keep a man busy
killing witch grass until harvesting COM
mences, but where a man can tend 40
acres of corn and harvest 20 acres and
sells it for 10 or 15 cents a bushel, it
does pay; but the West does not pro-
pose to sell much of her corn at these
figures she will sell it in pork OF beef.
With one bushel of corn can be made II
lbs. of pork, worth now cents per lb.
This would give us As cents for bushel
of corn.
Mr.. Sabin says in the West they sac
rifce much to save dollars and cents
Take it on an average here in the West,
on 800 acre farm there Isl as much vast
ed in stacking hay out doors, and the
decayingof the machinery in consequence
of being left out, and other negligences

make in New England. Taking all these
things!into consideration, / would rather
go in debt $4,000 here for farm. than
$4,000 in New England II think I could
pay for it quicker in the West, and do
it with the rise of land, if nothing more,
and pay 10 per cent interest on the loan,
in few years.
Mr.. Gage says let the foreigner go
past New England. l say so too, for the
more farms there are taken up, the bet
ter markets we have, and the more our
farms will increase in value. / can show
you foreigners that came in here 20 yrs,
ago this Spring to work on the Mill and
st. Paul Il. r. possessing nothing but a
pick and shovel then, that could buy one
half Of the town of Westminster to-day
and plenty of other men that 40 years
ago, we're worth no more than some of
your Westminster farmers, who own l.
900 acres of land, now pay from $4,000
to $4,000 taxes annually. 1t is true New
England has one advantage over the
West; they can cultivate both sides Of
their farms, while the West has more
than she can do to cultivate one side
In relation to climate, spent 20 years
of my life in New England and the rest
South and West, and l must say the
Western climate is far superior to any I
ever saw.
As to schools, the West is fast improv-
ing in her system of education, and will
soon outstep old New England in that
respect, if she has not already; there is
State Normal school situated here
where our children are being educated
far superior to any in New England, and
she will prove it so soon by sending back
teachers, (now students of her Normal
Schools,) to enlighten old New England.
Asking pardon for encroaching SO
much upon your columns, I hope you
will correct the errors and insert this in
your paper and oblige a subscriber, for
this is the first time ! ever attempted to
write for a newspaper.
Respectfully yours,
GEO. G. CHAFFEE.

and Gen. Fletcher, (since Governor,) of
Cavendish, and some others not members
retained their whig proclivities, and
voted for Fairbanks for governor; but
the result was the election of John S.
Robinson, the democratic candidate for
Gov, and the minor offices were filled
almost according to the programme,
though the slate was slightly broken in
the choice of Deane of Cavendish for
Reporter of decisions of Supreme Court,
instead of Barber of Middlebury, the
coalition candidate. 3 9as
In all this contest Mr.. Shafter had
been so quiet, so discreet as to command
the respect of both and all wings of par
ties. Whenever he arose to speak in the
House he commanded the undivided at
tention of all, and never wearied by the
length of his remarks. When he had
nothing more to say he sat down. Not
always the case with members of Con-
gress or State Legislators. But l will
leave to an abler pen than mine to write
the history of the Vermont Legislature
Of 1858. have sometimes thought that
October session was tight session in
more respects than one, but 20 years
time may have dimmed my memory.
At the close of 1858 went out the whig
party in Vermont and at the republi-
can convention held at Rutland in 1854
Judge Royce was nominated for COVER
nor. And such was the estimation in
which MIR. Shafter was held, that he was
with great unanimity given the second
place on the State ticket, though not
present, or represented by any one in his
interest. But he had already made ar
rangements to remove to the golden
State, and declined tae proffered honor.
Though urged to remain in VT. and ac-
cept at the hands of her people honors in
store for him, the writer we'll remembers
his weighty reasons given by letter, why
he declined political preferment, and
chose to follow his favorite pursuit in a
distant-then indeed distant land.
| am not familiar with the history of
Mr.. Shafter after he left Vt. This only
| know that success crowned his every
effort, and that his great mind and legal
learning adorned the highest judicial tri-
bunal of the state of his adoption even
as his digni6ed department, extensive
researches and professional industry had
already added honor to a lawyers life in
his native State.
By over work his health broke down
and forced to resign the Judgeship, Mr..
Shafter had sometime since left Califor-
mia in search of rest ana if possible, res
toration to health. But that never came
and in foreign land his life went out,
but the memory of his abilities will not
soon be forgotten by those who knew
him. Whether his remains are buried
in that foreign land, or whether his
friends have returned the same to Amer
lea | know not. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever that he may be brought home, and
buried in an American grave. c. nc.

HI SCMOOLINTEREsT.

We are encouraged at the prospect Of
school system in the State. Nothing has
been in the way of our prosperity so much
as the want Of free schools. TIE people
are getting to see the necessity of imme.
date action. The counties are taking
prompt action in the many portions of the
State. We are glad to see this. Every
county should organize at once. The
counties that did organize under the
county system were greatly benefited.
So it will be under the present law. The
school law can be made efficient, if the
people 10 the various counties of the State
will go vigorously to work.
We know of no means so well c~,lcula.
ted to stir up the school interest as Teach.
ers' Institutes. We hope to see one q
more held in every county in the State
during the coming summer. Teachers
Institutes have become a great power in
the West. They are calculated to raise
the standard Of education in common
schools. They are calculated to strength.
en- and encourage teachers. They are
calculated to arouse the people through
the teachers. They are calculated to
make teaching a profession. In the alb
sence of Normal schools, they will answer
as a training school for teachers of the
public schools.
We should like to see the State Super.
intcndent take hold Of the matter. 1t i.
au important one. 1t is thu shortest and
most practical way of popularizing free
schools.

Lost his Toes.

Lost his Toes.
jim Snow, a colored boy, who was en-.
joying himself by holding to the train as
it moved out from the depot last Tuesday
made a misstep, the wheel Of the car run
over and mashed his foot so badly that
Drs. Wheeler & Gibson had to amputate
his toes. This practice of boys jumping
on the trains and remaining there until
they get in full speed aud then getting of
is a very dangerous one, and it is a great
wonder that many of them in this place
have not been killed.
