JANUARY ?, 1875
II. H. STEVENS, Esq:
Dear Sir: When about six months old was vacc-
mated. The parties who vaccinated from the
virus died from the humor The humor spread
over me TO such extent that was rolled in bran
to prevent me from scratching my person The dis
ease finally settled in my head remain ed in this
condition about twenty years troubled all the time
with sores breaking In my head and discharglng
ruption from my ear At this time small kernel ap-
peared my neck, gradually increasing In size until
a tumOr formed OF such immense size could see II
by turning my eyes downward All this time I
taking various remedies for my blood without any
substantial beueht.
then went to a prominent physician in Boston,
who, during his treatment Of six months anced the
tumor eight times, which cost me nearly Sl0O. This
left mowlth rough, aggravated sore, without at all
diminishing the size Of the tumor, and in a eickly,
feeble condition. consulted another physician In
Natick, who after considerable time, succeeded in
healing the without reducing the size. At this
point commenced to use Yegetine, through the ear
nest persuasion Of q friend. After had taken this
medicine about week experienced wonderful
sensations. My whole body seemed to be undergoing
n radical change, until finally the tumor broke aud
discharged frightful quantities. From this time 1t
decreased In size until the bunch disappeared, but
my neck still bears the ugly Of the and
lance am now healthy and strong and able to work
every day.
will also mention that have been acute suffer
err from inflammatory rheumatism ever since can
when almost Immediately all rheumatic pains ceased.
This statement volunteer for the purpose Of benc
fitting other suffering humanity, and you will confer

To the above communication from a val
ued contributor we take the liberty to add
the following paragraph which we find in
The New England Journal Of Education Of
the llih inst: Ed.
1.-The school committee of Boston will Pc
tition the legislature for an act TO incorpo-
rate the school board as an association TO
receive and disburse donations and be-
quests to sick and superannuated teachers.
While we are in favor of all humane efforts
in behalf Of the sick and needy, we believe
in apply ing the remedy at an earlier stage
of the disease. The sick and the superan-
nuated should be provided for while yet
the evil days come not. In other words,
the salaries of teachers should be sufficient
to place them above the reach of perjury in
sickness or old age. The professional teach
or belongs to a class in society termed pro-
ducers. lie is an agent in adding TO the
wealth of mind, and hence most directly
and efficiently adding to the wealth Of tine
world. The position of the teacher, while
dealing with the humanities, should be
dealt with as all similar departments Of la
Dor, under the rule that 1.-The laborer is
worthy of his hire" 1t is rumored that
the "Reform administration" has in mind
the reduction of teachers salaries. If this
policy is 10 be pursued, we shall most
heartily approve Of pensions, and other re-
formed measures, for taking care of those
whom society charges with most important
services, overworks them in that service,
and in old age, sickness, and want, pro-
vides for all their necessities. II you lust
reduce salaries, build asylums and hOspi-
tails"

THE MEDICINE THAT CURES
is
"VEGETINE."

Taking into consideration the character Of its vouch
ers the history Of It's cures and the immense ncreas-
ing demand vegetine may be fairly entitled the lead
ing medicine Of the age.
For scrofula in the blood, vegetlne is an infable
remedy, and no person need suffer from tumors, ul-
GERS aud oil diseases arising from impure blood, II
Negetine Is used according to directions. There is
not OF 5crofula in existence that Vegetne will
not cure, provided, however, the vital functions have
not lost their power Of action all that may be said TO
the contrary notwithstanding.
Vegetne is pleasant to the taste, mild In is inhu-
ence, and absolute in its action disease the fol-
lowing unquestionable evidence will show.

Editor Vermont Phonir. A common
mechanic, beginning life as a married man
at twenty-five years of age, ought, by tho
time he is sixty-fve years old--that is, af-
ter forty years service-to he able to retire
from active pursuits on an accumulated
capital of $4,000.
The teachers life is more wearing than
that Of the manual laborer; and female
teacher cannot be expected TO perform the
active labor of teaching TO so advanced an
age as the man. Let us suppose that the
female teacher (most of the teachers in
Vermont are Gemales,) to retire after thirty
years service. If she manages to lay up
during that time $500 "A year, she would
then hardly have enough TO give her de-
cent support. At present prices, the cost
of living Of a lady teacher could not he well
less than 5000 year. Many Of our teach
ers do not receive even that sum, though
they may expect TO he promoted to it II
they remain in the profession.
OF all the avocations in life, those OF
preacher and teacher should be the last 10
suli'.r from small pay; for while these
classes Of persons are worthy m their hire,
the hire which they receive precludos all
possibility of their ever becoming rich.
The pay ought 10 be a sufficient induce
ment to lead teachers TO remain in their
profession, like ministers, lawyers, and
doctors Tor the longer they remain in the
service, the better teachers they make. In
aiming at reform, the last place TO begin at
is with the pay OF female teachers. They
earn all the money they get.
l would suggest that, IN beginning re-
form, our men in office, especially our
members of Congress, should first be called
to an account. Their pay is many times
larger than that of our female teachers, and
the time that they have OF it is very much
easier. Ii all our members of Congress
had been held accountable from the begin
ming OF the war, the affairs OF the country
would hardly be in the sad condition that
they are now. If | am not mistaken, the
voters of this county have sustained their
members Of Congress even though they
made very questionable grab at back paw;
nay, hardly questionable, but decidedly
wrong, and Injurious to the character of
the State. 1t would hardly look well,
therefore, after sustaining these men, to be
attacking the salaries Of our female teach
crs, which are small enough as it is, and
very honestly earned. | am greatlyiu IA
vor of economy; but ii is poor economy
that attacks the Interests of education.

1t is curious, but the mercantile
reporters knew more about the crops
than do the men who grow then.
Dun, Barlow 4 Co. report that the
wheat crop in the West will make
an average of twenty five bushels to
the acre, and that the other crops
promise an equally large yield. If
this be the case, and they know,
the yield will be simply enormous,
and, there is no reason why the West
should not be enormously rich, this
season. And it will not be q big
crop with no price to it. The gran
aries in this country are bare, and
the Crimea, the great compstitsr of
America in grain-producing, is, this
season, practically barred ont. Tho
Turkish war haslshut that of, and
America has this year, to feed the
world. Hence there cannot be that
diminution in. price, that otherwise
would follow a'crep 30 immense; we
have our twenty five bushels to the
acre with the price the same that it
would be were it only the average
Of nine or ten. Tho West will be
made rich this year, and there cam
not but be general prosperity. )
