took out on Thursday last, l, SO Gu
bic yards OF earth; thought to be
the greatest DAYS work ever done
by dredge As the removal Of
each cubic yard realizes I84 cents
for the dredge company, they netted
on Thursday the snug sum Of $2l5.-

but the same dredge was disabled
yesterday, aud .ook all day ior re
pairs, owing 70 the breaking Of a

OF the dredge business. The sum
total taken out by the Jwo dredges,
Northern Pacific and Montana dur
ing this week, was over 5000 cubic
yards.

The Vermont ACADEMY.

BURLINGTON, Vt, Sept. 18th. 1873.
1t is generally known that at the last
session of our legislature charter was
granted to establish 1.-The Vermont Acade-
my" an institution designed to afford the
best facilities for the academic education OF
the young men and women of our State, and
northern New England and New York. In
corporation was effected, board Of trus'
tees chosen, auda financial agent appointed
to raise 500, 600 as permanent fund, no
part of which should ever be expended for
any purpose, but the interest of which shall
be forever applied to the support Of inSfr7io-
non in the academy.
The first subscription was made by lady
of the Baptist Church of this city. The
citizens and former residents of Saxtons
River subscribe $50, 900, and the academy
Is to be located in that village. The mem
bers of the firm Of j. Esty q Co, Brattle-
boro. give $50, 900. The financial agent,
Rev. W. n. Wilbur, has, as yet, visited
only portion of the State, but has been re-
ceived with general cordiality. Subserip-
tons have been made from ten cents to Sl0,-
600. Mr.. Wilbur has been spending few
days in this city, and has effected this
morning the completion of the subscription
of 800 900 for the endowment fund.
The Baptist Church of this city
contributes SI6,455.23 of this amount.
The subscriptions to this fund are now bind
ing upon the subscribers, according to the
terms Of subscription, which are as follows,
viz. All sums of 800 and over, payable In
one. two and three years, with interest from
time Of first payment. All sums under 500
PAYABLE in six months, both 10 date frc N
this day-the condition of raising $780,
900 having been complied with.
About thirty acres of land has been Sc
cured in the village of Saxtons River, in
GLIDING an elevated table-land and a num-
Der Of acres Of fine groves of tree> where the
Academy Is to be located. The agent will
now turn his attention TO securing another
500 600 for grounds, buildings and appar-
atus. on which several subscriptions and
pledges have already been obtained. 1t Is
expected tina; plans for the building will be
adopted during the present fall and winter.
and the buildings commenced the coming
spring. NJ. DAVIS, Trea surer.

The enormous prices obtained at the re
cent sale Of short horned cattle on the farm
Of samuel Campbell at the New York Mills,
near Utica. \. Y. show conclusively that
cattle-breeding in this country Is certainly
not in a declining condition. \ Mr.. Davis,
of Worcestershire, England, wanted the
COW " Eighth Duchess Of Geneva bad
enough to give over forty thousand dollars
for her Other bids of $4,000. So, 900
and $50, 900 were made for single cows.
One old. small and sick COW brought $500,
and there was one bid of S27 900 for a five
months heifer calf. Altogether, the sale
was perhaps the most notable event Of the
kind that ever occurred. Sales of short
horns are very rare, even in England. All
the animals of the finest breeds there are in
the hands Of wealthy stock fancierS who will
not part with them. Hence the strife among
English purchasers to possess those sold by
Mr.. Campbell. That gentleman started
good many years ago TO collect his herd Of
pure-blood short-horns, and succeeded in
accamulating an aggregation Of cattle
which was doubtless unequalled on this con-
tincnt Now it Is distributed, to enrich
herds in other parts Of the world. English
men bought ten of their precious beasts and
paid for them one hundred and sixty-two
thousand dollars; Kentucky bought TWEEN
ty-seven. paying one hundred and eight
thousand dollars: \. 3. Conger. Of New
York, bought four, paying thirty thousand
and nine hundred dollars; Col. W. 5.
King, Of Minneapolis. seven, paying eight
thousand eight hundred dollars; 4. W.
Griswold, of Morrisyille, Vermont. bought
eleven, paying twenty-five thousand six
hundred and seventy dollars; Col. Morris,
of New York, bought four, paying
fifteen thousand eight hundred dollars
eleven went to Illinois, aggregating
five thousand eight hundred and twenty
dollars; 4. B. Cornell, of New York,
bought twenty, paying twenty thousand
five hundred dollars; FIVE went TO Canada
one to Virginia the remaining eight re
main in New York Eleven Of the Duchess
family sold for more than a quarter of
million of dollars High prices were not
confined 10 Duchess shOrt-horns. An Ok
ford heifer sold for nine thousand and six
hundred dollars. Ninety-three cows and
heifers were sold for upwards fthree hun
dred and ffty-one thousand dollars. Fifteen
bulls brought upwards Of thirty thousand
dollars The entire sale amounted to a lit
tie upwards of three hundred and eighty
two thousand dollars.
1t Is needless to say that this sale
was a great triumph of American breed
ers. Single animals have been sold
for large sums before; but We doubt
not that it is strictly true, as stated, that
never either in England or this country has
there been such high average Of price at
public sale

\ SINGULAR CRmE.-The well-worn plea
OF =" emotional insanity" is to-be again in
yoked to save the life of murderess-one
too, who has committed one of the most
horrible crimes recently recorded. We
allude to the Hamill murder case, in Will
liamsbnrg, L. l. So far as it appears from
present evidence, the murdered woman hay
ing large sum Of money with her, visited
friend, ons Mrs. Merrigan. with whom
she had long been on terms of intimacy.
That friend strangled her with cord. oc-
cupied during the night the same bed with
the body of her victim ana in the morning,
saturated the bed and room with kerosene.
and set it on fire in order to conceal her
crime. The nerve, no less than the fiendish
cruelty of the murderess, exeites our amaze
ment as well as horror. The victim was a
curiously eccentric young woman. She was
educated and rich, and yet appears to lave
had no friends, except Mrs Merrigan, who,
before her final crime, had stolen money
from her, fact which does not seems to
have affected their intimacy. 1t is said
