Rural Crime and immigration.

The spread OF felonious crime in the rural
districts is recently the subject of some com.
meDt. The Vermont state prison seems to
have been enlarged only just 10 time, and
hardly a week passes without some brutal
murder in the farming districts. Several
elements can bo recognized among the classes
who commit these crimes. First there is
the old native American stock, generally de.
based by liquor and brutalized by narrow
aud materalistic life amid hard surroundings
On the remote farms, and around the village
grog-shops, there are loveess families, where
greed, Jealousy aud intemperance burst out
at long intervals into murder. The amount
of crime from this source is pretty steady,
and is probably not on the increase. Then
there is the foreign element, Of which in the
rural districts the French Canadian is coming
to be prominent feature. To this nationality
belong La Page, who murdered young girl
in Vermont aud another in New Hampshire,
the tramp who killed an old lady at Otis,
and others The French Canadian in the
rural districts gets this bad character from
the very nature of his immigration. He
does not come Ike the lrishman to stay and
! His original habitat is so near and the de-
mand for his labor so huctuating, that he is
rather encouraged to a rowing life, which oil
itself is temptation to crime. In our large
manufacturing centers, where they can be
gathered in families and anchored in commu.
mites, no class is more peaceably disposed
But in the country the French Canadian is a
bird Of passage. They make excellent farm.
hands and choppers, but do not settle il
families as tenants of their employers, as il
would be profitable for all parties to have
them do. The state Of Vermont, for instance
the great highway for French. Canadian im,
migration, and the great field Of their employ,
ment as agricultural laborers, actually LOST
in fOreign.born population from $50 to 1860
and gained only $4,000 from 1860 to 1870
the native population remaining in the mean
time substantially stationary.
In the present decade, the state of Yer
mont and our own rural districts ought ia
gather more of the permanent advantages oil
this French Canadian population. They
have many homely virtues, frugality born
Of poverty, the Gallo good nature, and a
conservative instinct natural to those whose
ancestors have titled the same acre for 20C
years. They have no old.world wrongs tC
redress, no oommunistie whims. In Can
ada they are born ast,--thauks to the boun
ties offered by King Louis and Colbert OF
large families aud they die terribly fast
too, in their ignorance, superstition aud dis
regard of plain rules of health. But the fit
test survive to centennial ages, They begir

A WONDERFUL CLOCK .-Strolling through
the streets of Lubec, happened to
pass st. Mary's church near the hour
Of noon, and entered to sec the famous
clock perform its little tricks, which it has
repeated day by day for over three hundred
years. This ancient piece Of mechanical
skill is placed near the main ALTA, and has
huge and bewildoring complicated dial
showing the second, minute, hour, day,
month, year and relative position Of moon
and planets all at once. On a miniature
semi.circular gallery above the dial is the
figure Of Christ seated on a throne. With
the last stroke OF twelve, melodious chimes
play verse of some hymn aud at the same
time little door on the right Of the gallery
opens and figure in apostolic garb appears,
advancing slowly until it reaches the throne
when it turns aud bows before the Saviour,
and then goes on again, disappearing through
a door on the left. Eleven apostles pass
through in this manner, but the twelfth,
who is said to be Judas, only shows his face,
when the door is shut on him. L could not
help pityiug the poor little wooden apostle,
who had been subjected to this notifying
treatment for 300 years. St. Peter comes
in for his share of rebuke in the shape Of a
cock which makes an effort to crow three
times, but though he fOps his wings as
lively as ever, his voice was injured by
cold caught in the severe winter Of IVA,
from which he never fully recovered, and |
suspect St. Peter laughs in his sleeve at the
birds attempt to remind him of his tempo
rary detection over eighteen hundred year:

THE FARM AND THE GRANGE.
Agricultural Politicians.

We have nowadays, class Of agricul-
turaists of noisy pretentions-sor of self
constituted agricultural aristocracy, who inn
periously claim that credit is alone due them
for whatever advancement the farmer has
has made. They found this claim upon the
assumption that the development of science
in agriculture, depends entirely upon their
manipulation Of agricultural societies, fairs,
boards and colleges. They disdain any
means less pretending-less profitable. The
editor of the Prairie Farmer attended the
late state fair at Ottawa and what he found
there he would doubtless find east as far as
the good old state Of Maine. This is what
he says Of the agricultural politicians
"All our fairs are blessed with them. The
local fairs have conveys Of oilice.seekers !;
State fairs are not behind them. We do not
mean, Of course, capable aud honest agricul-
turists who are candidates by the will of
their class neighbors and friends, but those
periodical fellows that think once year ag.
riculturo such noble pursuit and all who
follow it as a profession such grand, good
men, the basis Of all society aud all govern
ment, At Ottawa VIC had them; the rep
resentatives Of republican, democratic and
independent parties, and they had them at
all the fairs last week. They are all lovers
of good cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, poultry
and bees; they esteem the inventor Of ma
chinery a marvellous man; they look with
admiring eyes on tho rag carpets aud patched
! bed quilts they know pumpkins from beetsr

and "beans when the bag is united :" they
are in raptures over the agricultural boss
trot," and display of ladies' equestrianism
is exquisite beyond measure. But they know
no such solid, firm, and at the same time
gushing delight, as to shake the horny hand
Of the honest son Of toll, if he only be a nat
uralized citizen Of the United States, who
has lived sufficiently long in the state, dis
trict, county and township, to become a
voter. Yet all these chaps help to make up
a collection Of the people, aud, if they were
not always dead-heads, would be instrument
tai in defraying the expenses OF fair. There
is no law authorizing their exclusion from
a fair ground, and the time may come when
their self exhibitions may become one of the
genuine attractions of fair. Instead of be-
ing allowed 10 wander at large, however,
they should be confined in department by
themselves, or else properly labeled with
name, name Of party, office sought, how many
years an Office holder or a candidate, etc.
etc., that their friends may know them, and
their opponents avoid them. As it is, they
are altogether too promiscuous."

Describing the career of Commodore Van.
derbilt the New York World calls him the
patriarch Of the great triumvrate Of New
York millionaires, composed Of Astor, Stew.
art and Vanderbilt. Beginning his career at
the age Of l6 as the captain Of sail.boat
on the Hudson, he gradually made his way
to tho control OF steamboat interests in and
around New York. In this pursuit he ac-
quirod two things, namely: an immense for.
tune and the title Of Commodore" which
has always chung to him. Gradually with
drawing from steamboats, he invested in rail-
roads, and is now the largest owner of rail-
roads ard bonds in this country, if not in
the world. In 1864 Mr.. Vanderbilt re-
ported his income to the United States In
ternal Revenue Commissioner at very nearly
three.quarters of a million. In 1865 his
fortune was estimated at S40,000,0 900. To-
day those who are the most familiar with his
affairs rate him at from S50,000,000 TO
S80,000,000. 1t is understood that the
bulk of his fortune will go to his son, Will
liam II. Vanderbilt, who relieves his father
from the active cares and burdens Of bust
ness. There was recently report in circu.
lation, both on the street aud at the clubs to
the effect that the commodore had already
made over to a sum of $50 900 900 in stock
and bonds Mr.. Vanderbilt is cut out from
the wood Of which great men are made he
would have excelled in any walk Of life.
There was in him the very making of a
great soldier and great statesman. Per-
sonally he is one Of the handsomest men of
his time.

How liz Cor Coat TO FIT HM.-A
middle-aged son OF the Emerald Isle went
into Detroit clothing store the other day,
and said he wanted a good chape coat
He was big, round.shouldered man, and
bis arms were almost as long as those of Sir
Dan Donnely, who could "button the ex-
tremites of his knee.breeches without stoop-
ing" The largest trade size Of coats is No.
AZ, and the salesman took one Of that size
from the pile and tried it on his customer.
1t was too small every way, particularly in
the sleeves. The cuffs were six inches above
the wrists, and the customer said he felt
like pot of porridge that had boiled over.
The salesman handed the coat to an as
sistant and said, "bring me No. Al coat"
The assistant fumbled little at the pile
and he brought back the same coat 1t
was tried and rejected, the customer remark.
ing, "sure, if | wore that coat they'd be
sayin, | was gossOon that vast done CROWN"
"You are an awful big man" said the astute
salesman, winking at his fellow clerk "lll
try No. IS on you" MAKE it 40, for the
honor of ould Ireland" said the patriotic
Milesian. Forty-nine was brought (the
same coat) and also found too small.
A Napoleonic look of decision ilumined
the face Of the salesman as he confidently
cried bring me 80 coat, I'm bound
to fit you anyhow" The indentical coat
was again tried on, and the customer APP
peared satisfied. 81 never get sleeves long
enough for me, said he, "but I'll have them
Heightened out, and then they will be all
right" lie bought the coat.

STATE NEWS.

Some scandalous wretch has started the
following apocryphal tale: A Congrega.
tional preacher, who is also member Of the
house, recently imagined that woman in the
gallery winked at him, and the scandalized
dominic applied to the sergeant.at-arms to
have her expelled from the building.
Among the incidents of Vermont day at
the Centennial, was the presentation to each
visitor, by Rev. John Newman. d. D., Of a
photograph of the building at East Poultney
in which Horace Greeley learned the art Of
printing. The photographs were made by
Frank NJ. Rood, an artist at Poultney.
In debate in the Legislature, the other
day, member related this incident A man
borrowed $4,000 of widow, erected there
with handsome monument in a churchyard,
sacred to his own memory, failed within six
months, and paid the widow, who could i'll
afford to lose it, 10 per cent of her claim.
The mans name is called for.
The house has voted to finally adjourn
Nov. 81, at two p. IN.
1t is said that the proposition for cen.
trail state hatching-house for supplying the
streams and ponds of the state with fish
spawn, will be revived this fall.
Gov. Fairbanks has appointed Rev. DR..
Lord Of Montpelier one of the state fish COM
missioners.
A bill is before the legislature providing
that frustrated attempts at crime shall re-
ceive one-haf the punishment prescribed
for successful crimes, except where the pun
ishment is death, when the defeated criminal
shall be imprisoned for ten years. A reso-
luton, fixing the Dist as the day Of adjourn
ment, is before a committee, though the bill
for remapping the state will probably pre-
vent so early an adjournment.
