Messrs. Editors:-In a state like ours where
two-thirds Of the years. winter and the remainder
rather late in the fall it is Of considerable i'm
portanee to have practical knowledge Of the best
way OF administering to the public safety and
comfort in this direction. And when we see men
who always have lived, and probably always will
live In Vermont, breaking roads in manner that
not only does no good but actually does harm,
we think il time some good way was suggested
for those who will to follow
Now plow is a very good thing II used in
the proper place, but the idea OF hitching plow
on the outside Of a sled, itself running wider than
a common sleigh, thus making au apparent path
outside the real one, in which horse unused to
such road will constantly founder and step of
vainly endeavoring to gain foothold where he
might reasonably expect 1t to be, Is one which
should at once condemn itself to any person of
common sense II a pillow is used at all, It should
be fastened behind or within tho sled Immediately
upon the track, in which position it is some better
than nothing but at best it leaves narrow. gut

side, over which, especially II the snow is moist
and then freezes II rs diihcut and often danger
Gus TO drive in turning out
Another way, ana one which we think better
than the above, is the following Take tough
hardwood board, from twelve TO fourteen inches
wide and from six 10 seven feet long. and plane
to one and one-half inches thick, round the cor
ners intended for the lower side, and sharpen or
champer" the lower edge Then make a NOR
tlse in one end, say from eight to twelve inches
from the end, large enough to readily admit the
hooks and links OF log-chain. This mortse
should be nearly in the center, but toward the
upper side II the board is desired to run low, and
vice versa then make another mortse, say four
feet from the front end, one aud one-half by three
inches Put a chain through the front mortise
and round the roll II not too high otherwise
round the runner, thus causing the board to move
In front OF the runner, and allow the remainder
Of the chain to fall loose by the side of the sled
insert a wooden brace from the rear mortise to
any link in the chain so as to throw the board out
at any desired angle. When on level or down
grade, another can be used on the other side and
on nearing solid drift either can be taken In and
allowed to run close to the runner by removing
brace, OF course this Is nothing new, but NAV
meet the eye OF some who never have tried IL; and
We recommend a thorough trial, as by this method
the snow is entirely swept from the track, making
about an ample road and sufficiently wide for
teams to pass each other without difficulty; and
on turning out there is no ridge to get over as
the sides OF the road are level with the beaten

EDUCATIONAL FUNp.-Senator Morrill,, of
and labor, on Friday reported favorably a
bill to the Senate for the establishment of
an educational fund and the application of
the proceeds of the sale of public lands TO
public educational purposes. The bill pro-
vides that at the end of each fiscal year the
Secretary of the Interior shall ascertain the
total receipts from the sales of public lands
including all fees received at the general
land office, and the amount of expenditures
in relation to the survey, sale, location, or
entry Of such lands, and shall certify to the
Secretary of the Treasury the amount of net
cash proceeds from such sales, entries, or To-
cations, or other disposition of said lands ;
and upon the receipt of such certificates the
Secretary of the Treasury shall cause one
half the amount certified to be invested in
the bonds of the United States, bearing in
terest at the rate of five per cent, which
amount so invested, shall be held as per-
petual fund in the treasury of the United
States, as an educational fund The Com
missioner of Education, under the direction
of the Secretary Of the Interior, is to appor-
states and territories upon the basis of popu-
lation of said states and territories between
the ages of four and twsnty-one years, to be
applied to educational purposes, fifty per
cent. Of which may be spent the first year,
and ten per cent. each year thereafter, in the
establishment and maintenance of normal
schools

A CHEAT WoRK.-One of the great en-
gincering achievements of the age is the ex-
tended excavation under Hell Gate, in the
East River off Harlem. The work has been
in progress for six years, under charge of
Gen. Newton, and is now substantially com
pleted. Underneath the rocks and the river,
deep galleries have been made in every di-
rectien, the ceiling being supported by pill
lars of the solid rock. At present the work
men are drilling holes in the ceiling, pillars
and alls,-Shich are TO be charged with fifty
thousand pounds of nitro-glycerine prepare
tory TO a grand explosion, which viii per-
haps be arranged for the Centennial Fourth
of July. II the scheme is successful, the
ceiling will be broken into fragments, and
will sink into the subterranean galleries,
blotting out forever the dangerous Hell Gate,
and leave broad and deep channel for ship
ping. II will be vast benefit TO New York,
making the East river safe for all ocean
steamers, and probably changing the route
of ocean steamers to the inner passage
through the sound. The total expense, I'M
der government management, has been only

TAXATION OF MoRTGAGEs.-1he taxa.
ton of mortgages or other evidences Of debt,
as property, has been declared by the Su-
preme Court of California TO be illegal and
unconstitutional. The court holds that
" mere credits are false quantity in as
certaining the sum of wealth which is sub
Jet to taxation as property, and in so far as
that sum is attempted to be increased by
the addition of those credits, property taxa
ton, based thereon, is not only merely fanci-
ful, but necessarily the unconstitutional i'm
position Of an additional tax upon portion
Of the property already once taxed" The
decision is based solely on this principle,
and upon the clause Of the constitution
which provides that taxation shall be equal
and uniform throughout the state, and all
property in this state shall be taxed in pro
portion to its value TO be ascertaned as d.
rected by law" As the New York Tribune
remarks, if this be good law in California, it
certainly ought TO be in other states.

PARTY DRILL.--There is nothing new TO
record in the way of improvement OF the
craftsmanship of the House majority, though
their drill is somewhat better Understand.
ing that some Of their earlier defeats were
due TO an attempt to follow individual judg
ment rather than the party bel-wethers, the
members have been instructed that their
only safety is in keeping sharp eye upon
Randall, Springer and Cox, aud vote in all
cases as they direct That this is safer
policy, there can be little doubt but still the
highest order Of intelligence may not be
reached in this manner. A member discov-
cred geographical error in the consular
bill the other day, and prepared to have the
true name OF foreign port given instead Of
the erroneous one, but party drill was too
strong, and they stood by the committee,
brayely adopting the old sentiment Of Deca-
tur, slightly paraphrased Our committee,
right or wrong, still our committee;" and
so they have an appropriation for place
which is not, and a place which is has no
appropriation.

INDIANA PoIrrIcs.-The Republicans of
Indiana have nominated Hon. Godlove s.
Orth for Governor The nominee has served
several terms in Congress, and defeated NJ.
c. Kerr in one closely contested fight. Mr.
Orth failed of a nomination to the present
Congress, and was nominated United States
Minister to Austria, in March, 1873, and was
confirmed in April. 1t is his purpose to re-
turn home at once and enter vigorously upon
the canvass. The Republicans carried the
state in 1868 and 1872, the latter year by
twenty-five thousand five hundred and fifteen.
The platform declares for a specie basis, but
is opposed to naming day for the resump-
ton, fayoring the Boutwellian policy of let
ting our financial troubles heal themselves.

WHOLESOME RETRENcHMEST.--lt is en-
couraging TO note in congressional proceed
ings the looping of Of sundry large items in
the appropriations for Notifications. The re-
duction is said to be from three millions and
half to three hundred and fifteen thousand
dollars. And the committee were entirely
unanimous in reporting the bill. The reduc-
tions, we suppose, are chiefly in the cases Of
what are called internal military posts, where
it requires a stretch of credulity to suppose
there is any serious need of defensive works,
however, it may have been in the dim past
The concentration of military stores and

day that we have already on hand several

asked, the advance Of improvement in their
manufactures elsewere would make them
practically useless.

by Newark architect who is now engaged
in drawing plans of the entire building, so
that in case Of the destruction Of the build
ing by fire, II may be rebuilt exactly as ii
now stands, The building is about eighty
five years old and the wear and tear of that
long term has proved too much for the pine
The main building and the wings are in ex-
cellent condition, and the grounds are kept
in good order. Several Of the rooms in the
house are furnished, The place is cared
for by Col. Iiollingsworth,. of Washington,
the greatest portion Of whose time is passed
on the homestead. The place is owned by
the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association.
