Now, a. respects actual. not thee retical,
values, We d, not believe that the farm
lands If Chittendcn county are worth as
mach as those OF Addison county. They
are worth no more than those Of Franklin
county, OF than those of Rutland county.
We do not believe they are worth fifty per
cent above the average Of the rest Of the
State That average j. SIl 06 per acre. and
if Nc should add fifty per cent for Chitten-
den county, it would give US a rate of
SD. 50 per acre. The rate at which the
State Board have set Us, Is 81 "a per acre
higher than that.
The ten per cent increase on the appraisal
Of this county, should not, in fairness, have
been made by the State Board. Consider
ing however, the action of four years ago;
remembering the prejudices then excited;
C u-idering, too, how difficult it Is to get
wrong Of that kind fully and fairly righted,
We think that on the whole, Chittenden
county comes out as well as could
have been expected. This county
has been paying for four years thirty or
forty per cent more than its fair
snare o.! the STATE taxes 1t mas secured.

oppressive valuation of 1870 and, prefer

Tie Valuation of Real Estate.

The extended reports of the meetings Of
the State Equalizing Board, Published by
us during its recent session. with the tables
Of statistics connected herewith, gave our
readers very full information concerning
the work of the Board, ard the valuations
established by it. An unusual pressure Of
other matters on our columns has hitherto
prevented US from commenting on the re-
suits reached.
Recurring now to the subject, we desire to
say in the outset. that we are satisfied that
it was wise change in the law by which
the work Of final equalization of the ap-
pTai>ais Of real estate by counties was
taken from Committee of the Legislature
ami given to board composed OF delegates
from the County Boards of Listers, meeting
hy themselves, at time when the Legisla
ture Is not in session. Such Board will
be. W. doubt not, a. a rule, a iairer body,
ic~s -vayed by prejudice; and sitting by it
sci! With nothing else to do, will be more
ikols to do its work deliberately and well.
The only trouble with the Board Of 1874
ua- that some Of the members were men
v DO had good deal to do with the outra-
seol-ly unjust " equalization of 1870. and
who had not got over the prejudices
aroused in that controversy.
Regarding the rates established by the
Board, lor Chittenden county. as to the vii
lage lots, We have only to say that We think
they were appraised well up in proportion
To their actual value and to rates elsewhere
in the State, by the listers, and that the
addition Of ten per cent by the State Board
Nas therefore uncalied for In this city,
however, where We need pretty high valaa-
t:1n- in order to give the means to meet
oar heavy and increasing city expenses, we
d. not complain; and the villages gcner-
ally, We suppose, will not find much fault
with the valuation. The farm lands of
rhit;culea county, however. are still, we
think, progressively rated, though less 50
than four years ago.
Our readers viii remember that the rates
FOR farming lands, as established by the
County Conventions, July, 1874, stood as fol-
ows per acre:

Saturday, September 9Th, completed the
century since the meeting Of the first Con-
tiHental Congress, which took place on the
18th Of September, ia. at Philadelphia.
The honor Of having originated the propo-
sition tina. such a Congress should be called
belongs II Samuel Adams The delegates
numbered SO AZ their first meeting. all the
colonies bat two, North Carolina and Geor-
gia, being represented on the first
day and North Cardinals delegates
came in soon after. Peyto1 Randolph,
Of Virginia, was chosen chairman, and
Charles Thompson, Of Pennsylvania, secre-
tary. This Congress was not exactly
revolutionary body; for it declared its 10y
altv to King George; but it was composed
of men who recognized the fact that they
had nearly reached the point where submits
sion would cease to be virtue; for it re-
solved. that this Congress approve the
opposition OF the inhabitants of the Massa-
chusetts Bay TO the execution of the late
acts of Parliament and, if the same shall
be attempted to be carried into execution
by force, in such case all America ought to
support them in their opposition. 1t
was of this body that Lord Chatham
said, to DR.. Franklin, that it was "the
most honorable body of statesmen since
those of the ancient Greeks and Romans in
the most yirtuous times" Speaking in the
House of Lords, on the Goth of January.
l775, he said, For myself, | must avow,
that in all my reading-and | have read
Thueydides. and have studied and admired
the master states of the world-for solidity
Of reason, force Of sagacity. and wisdom of
conclusion under complication of dificut
circumstance, no nation or body of men
can stand in preference to the General Con-
gress at Philadelphia. The histories of
Gresce and Rome give US nothing equal to
it. and all attempts to impose servitude
upon such mighty continental nation
must be in vain" And the King and
Lords found out. in time, that he was right |
in this last conclusion.

Another splendid day and large crowd.
Every one is in ecstasies over the fine
weather, which is unparalleled in the history
OF fairs. From the opening of the gates, AT
s o'clock this morning, until the hour of
closing. the grounds have been thronged
with visitors, and it is not The day, either.
The different balls are receiving a good
share of attention. but the admiration of the
masses Is directed to the fine specimens of
stock on exhibition. Vermont need not be
ashamed at the display exhibited at this
fair. 1t is all so good as to render it diff
cult to enumerate special animals. More
stock made its appearance this morning and
not inferior to that which arrived before.
