As many readers Of the FARMER are aux.
ious to know how the sudden change to the
pay.in-advance-and stop system affects its
list, we will say that in December we priu.
ted $3.50 copies a week and had very few
left over. About 900 subscriptions we're
to expire January ], but 50 many have re-
newed aud SO many new ones have been re-
ceived that it takes 1850 papers to supply
the list this week. We call that remarka-
bly, good showing, better even than we had
reason to expect. Renewals and new ones
are now coming SO rapidly that we shall be
likely to go above the old figures in few
weeks. And here we would say that we
have resolved upon some mechanical inn
provements that subscribers will appreciate,
when the regular subscription list of the pa.
per reaches 5000, and to that end we urge
all the club agents to send in as many add.
tons to their clubs as they possibly can, and
all subscribers to assist them in so doing by
getting those to renew who have not renewed,
and by getting all the new ones they can to
send in their subscriptions. Any club agent
will receive any ones subscription and for
ward it, no matter from what place he comes.
If every subscriber would do his best for one
month our 5000 would be attained, and
more too.

Letter from Montpelier.

Wednesday Morning Jan. ID.
The assembled wisdom" is nearly all
here, and legislative talk plenty. There are
various plans proposed in regard to the re-
form school, and nearly all agree that its To-
cation is to be changed. Vergeuaes, St. AL
bans, and St. Johnsbury are all talked of,
though Vergennes has made the best offer
yet. 1t is currently reported here that the
Fairbanks company are willing to "come
down" with q heavy bonus if the buildings
can be located at st. Johnsbury, but am
inclined to question the statement.
1t is expected that the Grand Lodge Of
Good Templars, now IN session at North
field, will memorabilia the legislature, asking
the passage of the bill to abate nuisances.
This bill provides for the Imprisonment Of
keepers Of saloons where liquors are sold on
the first conviction. 1t passed the House
at the recent session by strong majority,
and was slightly amended by the Senate and
passed by good majority, but when it came
up in the House for action on the amend
ments, the last night of the session, there
was not quorum voting aud SO it failed Of
passing 1t will probably pass.
A proposition to make an appropriation
for charging the state prison will doubtless
come up, there being more convicts than
cells 10 the prison. Better stop the liquor
traffic, if such thing be possible thus side
Of the general government, and then there
will be rooms to let in the prison. e
Winooski Council Of Soveregns is grow
ing, and holds weekly meetings Mr.. j. w.
Kendall is one Of the heavy men in the ooun-
Gil and has shown himself ready to advance
money whenever necessary. When mans
pocket is opened we may safely Judge his
heart is opened also. This council is bound
to live. Mr., Chester Clark, of the Ameri.
can House, is one Of the firm friends of the
move. | notice, by.the.way, that one Seaver
is among the members who, if mistake not,
is a merchant. But from what have seen
Of him he does not seem to be log.rolling for
himself Should judge that councils would
do well to scrutinize closely members of the
mercantile persuasion, however, as a general
rule, before admitting them.
The Argus and the Journal talked of issu-
ing daily through the extra session, bnt
wisely abandoned the idea. II.
Both houses have passed resolution not
to consider any questions save that named
in the call of the Governor.

Congress.

Tuesday, 5M.-Nothing worthy OF note was
done in the Senate save the discussion of tho
Louisiana question.
The house. after II day spent principally IN
tillibusterlng between the republican MEM
bers, who tried to bring up the civil rights
bill for discussion, and the democrats, who
oppose it.
Wednesday, entire day was spent by
both houses on the Louisiana question, dur
ing which Mr.. Edmunds manifested devotion
to the party gods by some strong partizan re-
marks which were warmly replied to by Mr..
Gordon, of Georgia, while Mr.. Willard in
the House manifested his Independence by
placing himself on record as opposed to the
outraged us proceedings in Louisiana for the
last two years, which had been capped by
Gen. Sheridan's request that the state be
placed under martial law and turned oyer to
his tender mercies.
Mr.. Hale, of Maine, gave notice that on
Monday he should suspend the rules and
adopt resolution ordering new election in
Louisiana.
Mr.. Cox, Of New York, gave notice that
on the same day he should move another
resolution, comprehonding the withdrawal
of the troops from Louisiana.
ThUrSctdy.-A bill to remove the limitation
restricting the circulation OF banking nssocm-
lions issuing notes payable in gold, which
was reported from the finance committee
Thursday last, was passed, in the Senate.
The debate on resolution asking the pres
idcnt for all the facts in his possession relat-
ing to the Louisiana business occupied the
whole day.
Irwin, who had been committed to Jail for
contempt in refusing to testify before II con-
Notwithstanding committee regarding
the use made by him of several hundred
thousand dollars in securing u subsidy to the
Pacific Mail Company, sent in petition that,
on account of i'll health, he be allowed to oc-
cupy more comfortable quarters. The House
thought he might give the required testimony
or take the consequences, and the petition
was laid on the table, l0l to 81.
That weak-kneed offspring OF the terror
instiled into tho republican party at the last
election, the senate finance bill was passed
in the House, Poland and Hendoe voting for
it and Mr.. Willard against it. We wait to
SEQ whether Grant is sufficiently fearful for
the dear party to sign this interesting docu-
ment.
Friddy-There was little done in the Sem
ate outside the Louisiana debate. The naval
appropriation bill, which nppropriates over
$40, 0OO 900. was passed with some inmate
rial amendments.
The debate on the Lou isiana question open
ed on tho proposition to insert an amendment
in the resolution asking the president for all
the facts in his possession, tho amendment
leaving it to his discretion to furnish the in
formation or not. Promptly Mt the exprl-
tion of the morning hour, the discussion was
resumed, Mr. Bayard, Of Del, having the
floor. lie said that two years ago he intro
duccd resolution calling upon the president
for information In regard to the conduct of
Major Lewis Merrill of the United States ar
my in South Carolina. Then, AS now, the
senator from New York (Conkling) oil cred
an amendment, leaving 1t discretionary with

As DR.. Hoskins says he was "not afforded
an opportunity-iD Withdrawing from the
FARMER, to take a farewell of its readers, "
and as it was entirely the fault of the for
mer editor of the FARMER that he did not
have such an opportunity, we print on the
fourth page so much OF his lamb.like intro
ductory as refers to the FARMER. DR.. Hos.
kins never offered a word to the paper on
leaving After his sale was completed and
he, having made the remark in the presence
of witnesses that all had been done peacea =.
bly, and without ill.feeling, space was re-
served until the last mail from Newport be-
fore going to press, in the expectation that
he would write valedictory and the en-.
ployees of the Office recolect the surprise ex.
pressed by both the proprietor and ourself
that he did not do so. The DIR. talks about
"pugnacity." We don't suppose our readers
will notice anything that looks like it in his
"Introductory."
Hoskins calls us Eat heart utterly con.
temptuous" of the farmers cause. Our read
ers may judge of the truth or falsity of this
charge by our acts. lie accused us in the
late political campaign of having no sym
pathy at heart with the opposition to Po-
land. We presume Judge Poland himself
thinks differently. He talks about our
"scissored agricultural department" but we
think we have about as much original cores
pondence, from the best practical farmers,
as he will be likely to squeeze into three or
four columns of tho Watchman. Speaking
of Mr.. Cummings and oursef he says "nei-
Their of whom own or ever owned farm"
Mr.. Cummings owns more farm to-day than
Dr. Hoskins ever did, and as for ourself,
though we must plead guilty to be younger
than the Dr., and not having like him passed
through any medical or other college, we
will say that all Of our life except the four
years and half spent in the printing Office
has been spent on the farm, and our person.
al and Pecuniary interest in the management
of the farm did not cease when we entered
the printing Office. Besides the column and
a half Of agricultural matter devoted to the
FARMER the DR.. has some very good talk
about "Some New Potatoes" and the "Board
of Agriculture" lie says he shant give
the market reports because he has become
