ton were present Gov. Horace Fairbanks,

Among other matters of business an ex-
perimental station was established upon
lands at Brattleboro, upon the lands ten
dered for that purpose by Richard Bradley,
esq.,, the experiments to be under the dlrec-
ton of the professor Of chemistry il the
university, and published for the benefit of
the farmers of the state. This is another
onward movement on the part of the agri-
cultural college, and will be productive of
benefit, as the lands of Mr.. Bradley con-
tain a large variety of soils. Similar sta
tions should be established in some central
portion of the state, and at Burlington. We
presume the college would establish such
stations on tender of the use of lands.
1t is understood that Prof. Peter Collier
has rendered his resignation as professor of
