Vermont Day.

Vermont Day ct the Centennial occurred on
Friday last, and proved pleasant and successful
affair The Free Press gives the following ac-
count Of it,
"'The reception was held at ten O'Clock in the
morning, and was attended by fifteen hundred or
two thousand Vermonters. Among the promi-
nent gentlemen present were Messrs Henry Clark
the orator of the day, and II. Canfeldo Arlington
Pitt W. Hyde Of Cas,leton, Henry Chase of Lynn
dom Colonel Wheelock G. Veazey OF Rutland,
Hon, Martin A. Evarts of Rutland, DR.. Samuel
Worcester of Burlington. J. 5, Patterson, of the
Centennial Commission, and W. II. II. Brigham,
Of Stowe. There were no speeches at the recep-
ton The whole affair was informal and exceed
ingly pleasant After the reception good num-
Der of the guests adjourned to the Judges Payil-
ion, and listened TO an address on the character
and resources OF the state by Hon. Henry Clark,
of Rutland This address reviewed the history Of
Vermont from the beginning. The commence
ment Mr. Clark well sketched, as follows: The
history Of no state in the Union presents claims
upon the attention rs does that of Vermont Her
origin was peculiar, and her position among
the states OF New England was marked for
many generations. The early settlers agreed
in one great principle, the then unchartered
independence as state This popularity
they adhered to with tenacity which they never
yielded Amid the priyation Of the wilderness,
Of the encroachment Of all the neighboring prov
inces, in this fundamental principle of her society
she stood forth single and alone This popularity
in her early character made her the object of in.
cessant suspicion and distrust, and at length
arrayed against her the legislation and proscrp
ton of the neighboring provinces. They chose
to regard her as an outlaw state whose land, in
terest and happiness they might prey upon Al
pleasure and without rebuke They laid claim Il
her territory and extended their jurisdiction oyei
her people, and well-nigh crushed her in her very
cradle. After showing how strong state wa,
solved ont of this dangerous and uncertain eond
ton Of affairs, Mr. Clark gave an interesting ae
count Of the government of education; OF tn,
colleges and the distinguished men they have sen
forth to the world of the agriculture and com
merce and general prosperity OF the common
wealth up to the present The long roll Of illus
trious names cited as of Vermont origin was suffi
cent to prove the Importance and value Of tn
state as a member Of the Union. After the ad
dress n vote of thanks WAS moved by Mr. Hyde o
Casileton, and was unanimously carried"

ates still residing in these places Mr.. and Mrs.
Bancroft will be remembered rs yocalists OF some

croft was the eldest daughter Of the late Rev. +.
Blodd, Baptist clergyman, who formerly ofhci'
ated at Planfeld and other adjoining towns until
his health failed, and he removed 10 Webster,
Mass, at which place his decease occurred. Mrs.
Bancroft left three daughters, aged twenty-one,
nineteen and fifteen, to be cared for in part, by
an unmarried sister. The remains Of Mr. and
Mrs Bancroft were taken to Webster, Mass, for

VERMONT SHEEP AT THE CENrENSIAL-The
Vermont department Of the Merino sheep exhb-
ton at the Centennial which opened ON the 10th
and closed on the 18th OF October, was composed
Of car load Of sixty-one sheep selected at large
in the state, The principal contributors were A.
T.. Perkins and A. f. Fuller, Of romfret; II, C,
Burnell, Of Bridport; Stclmey Brothers, of shore
ham and X, J. Jones, Of Cornwall. The Wood
stock Standard says that it is permitted to an
nounee, in advance Of the publication Of the
awards, that the gentlemen above named won all
the special prizes and the only sweepstakes prizes
offered, Of which Mr. Burneil took that on ams
and Mr.. Perkins that on ewes. It Is the second
time the sheep breeders OF Vermont have van
pushed all competitors at a worlds exhibition,
and it ought to settle at once that Vermont has
the climate intelligence and skill requisite to pro-
duce the best sheep in the world In connection
with the Centennial prizes the state society of
Pennsylvania offered premium of one hundred
dollars to the best flock of five Merinos the flock
to be selected and presented By states. Vermont
competed for this prize and won it with ease.
