PRoF. NoAH CREssYs lectures on Veter-
mary Science began in Burlington last week
according to the published programme. We
learn that farmers from Swanton, Georgia,
Bakersfield, johnson, Essex Pomfret, Towns
bend South Burlington and some other towns,
more or less from Burlington, as well as
Worcester, Mass, were present. This is
certainly encouraging, and Saturday after
noon the halt the lame and the "heavey'
horses Will be examined free. To have the
lecture room we'll filled at the first lecture is
gratifying and now il the students will do as
well as we know Prof. Greasy will, the course
will prove the best effort yet made for agri-
cultural education by the college.

BURLINGTON can't get over her wonderful
admiralty" business in connection with the
United States judgeship. Says the Free
Press 1--WE take it for granted that Judge
Wheeler will come to Burlington to reside
The revenue and admiralty business, which
constitutes 50 large portion of the court, is
all at this point, and much of it requires tn e
presence of judge upon the spot" Well,
Burlington had some admiralty" business
Tuesday, in hOrse-trot on the lake with the
rum-drinkiug, profanity, and other disgrace
ful scenes. We passed through the city on
the evening express train, and more drunk
en-, boistsrOus, swearing, disgusting crowd
than those which filled tho car to Essex
Junction we have not seen for many month
The whole scene was not only revolving and
disgusting, but disgrace to the city ant
state as we'll. A business manhad gone to one
Of the hotels of the city to pass the night

The Mennonites do not appreciate the
dignity of American citizenship. A general
conference at EIkhart, Ind, recently resolved
that all members of the church who had voted
at the late presidential election should be
admonished, and that every minister should
try to induce his members to abstain from
voting. Previous to 1871, the Mennonites
in southern Russia were exempted from mill
itary duty. 10 that year the privilege was
abolished, and the immigration movement
to the United States set 10. They never GO
to law, add make il rule never to accept
public office which would render il neces
sary for them to take an oath.

Pen Pictures of the President and Mrs.
Hayes.

Mr.. Hayes pictures give you no idea OF
the man himself, whose dominant expression
as he appears is that of maniness. This
impression is conveyed not moro by his face
than his entire presence. His figure, his
carriage, the movement aud shape OF his
head, quite as much as the force OF his
features, indicate a man of more than ordi-
nary power and will in the full summer tide
of his faculties. | expected to see fair,
we'll enough looking man, but had heard
him so often spoken Of as Moses like In
dividual, who was to be as soft as putty in
the fingers Of the republican makers, was
slightly astonshed to see this tall, portly,
powerful looking man, his head erect, his
unsubiugated nose arising straight before him
well fed, we'll bred, with a particularly
clean look, as it he took shower bath every
morning. Well, he made most OF tho men
about him look rather poor. The only man
visible, who looked as manly, without looking
as handsome, was Sir Edward Thornton,
buttoned tightly in his fine gold-laced coat.
Whatever else may be discovered about the
now president, think the gentlemen who
expected to mould him and his policy will
very soon find out Gfthey have not already
that he has mind Of his own, aud knows
how to use it. Per example, Carl Schurz in
his cabinet. What bitter pill is that for
the old senatorial foes of that luminous
Teuton to swallow.
Then there was Mrs. Hayes in the gallery
opposite, with her two children, who were
hanging over the gallery and acting as chill
dren usually do when their elders wish them
to appear to advantage. She parted them
at last, aud sat between them the true mother
and then contemplated the fair counten-
ance of the newly exalted lady. 1t il sin
gularly gentle aud winning. 1t looks oul
from the smooth bands Of dark hair with that
look of sweet womanliness 10 tho eye that thu

but found such a rabble, as he said, that no
left for Montpelier. The ladies on the train
we're to be pitiod for being compelled to ride
with that drunken set to st. Adams, and for
being compelled TO sit and listen to such LAM
guage as we heard att Essex. Now Bur.
liDgton men got up that horse-trot and sold
that rum, and the city should be compelled
to bear the disgrace Of their conduct, and
keep such fellows shut up till they were 60
Der enough TO be decent. We call the at
tention Of the city TO this branch Of its TAD
miralty" business it needs attention. Is it
not about time to have the matter settled
whether respectable, sober and quiet men
and women have any rights which drunken,
swearing, vulgar crowd which honor "hOrse.
trots" and kindred "moral entertainments
are bound to respect Every such disgrace
full proceeding only COnvinces us more and
more that the heroic remedy for in.emper'
ance is the one most needed.

In A recent lecture delivered in Edinburgh
on"The Star" Professor Grant gave graphic
idea Of the immensely of space. lie said
that railway train travelling night aud day
at the rate Of fifty miles an hour would reach
the moon in six months, the sun in two hun
bred years, and Alpha Centaur, the nearest
of the fixed stars, in forty-two millions OF
years. A ball from gun, travelling at the
rate Of nine hundred miles an hour, would
reach Alpha Centauri in 100000 years;
while light, travelling as it did at the rate
of $4,000 miles In a second, would not
reach it in less than three years. Light
from some Of the telescope stars would take
500 years to reach the earth; and from
some oil these clusters the distance was so
great that light would take half million Of
years to pass to the earth, so that we saw OBJ
jects not as they really are, but as they were
half million years ago. These stars might
have become extinct thousands Of years ago,
and yet their light might present itself to us.
As to the magnitude Of the stars, he noticed
that II was computed that Alpha Lyra was
| one hundred billions Of miles distant FROM
the earth. and its magnitude and splendor
were as 20 to ] when compared with our
sun. Similar Investigations brought out the
fact that our sun was neither vastly greater
nor vastly less than the great majority OF the
| stars.
