Ir is the duty of the Republican
party to bring about a state of peace
and prosperity in the South as far as
lies within its power. 1t did not war
against the Confederacy to crush any
class; its object was to crush out the
new government, and place all classes
on an equality before the law.

PERORATION


The Reverend gentleman again referred
to the want of belief in the resurrec.
tion, and the want of belief in repeid-
fion making Christ the mediator. by
which the soul is purged, cleansed, and
fitted for the home of the blessed. He
took paper for an illustration. What
is paper We ali know. We all know
and see how useful it is. The State
uses it; the Church uses it; com.
merce uses it; we cauDot get along
without it, and yet, what is paper
Only filthy rags. 1t is gathered frou
all ends of tie earth. The rag picker
takes it from the gutter, and by the
purging process, end workings of hu
man machinery it is converted into beau
tiful and useful paper. No one doubt:
the conversion of filthy rags into clean
white paper. We believe that paper
is thus made because we have been Sc
told. How many have seen or expert.
enced the manufacture of papera We
are told in Revelation of the immor.
tality of the soul. We believe Reve.
lation, and that Christ is the illustriou:
example of the Resurrection, and the
mediator. 1t is not hard to believe
and there is glorious promise in tte
resurrection, as we'll as dreadful pen
atty, full of everlasting wrath to the
unbeliever.

The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1877-06-22

Mr.. Samuel Jewctt of independence,
Mo-, has recently made his native coun-
ty (Addison) visit and selected near
" two hundred mcrino sheep from
some ofour best flocks. They were most
ly rams with few ewes. lie shipped
them from our depot last week. From
hasty examination we think them q
very fine lot. We give below an ac-
count of a shearing Mr.. Jcwett held at his
his home in Missouri last April. 1t will
be noticed by our sheep breeders that
Vermont sheep are likely to sustain
their reputation in Missouri, under Mr.
Jewetts management and care.
We find the following in the St.
Louis (Mo.) Journal Of Agriculture
and Farmer.
The annual strengthening at Mr.
Jewetts Merino Stock Farm came of
| Wednesday, April 4th, two and one
half miles east of Independence.
II was well represented by wool
growers from different parts of the
country, and conducted as Mr.. Jewctt
conducts all shearings-in most ere
ditable and satisfactory manner. A
committee was appointed TO receive
and weigh fleece and carcass after being
shorn; also a secretary to record
weights. The following are weights OF
carcass and fleece from two-year-old
ewes, all of which had dropped lambs
eXceDt one:

Weights of four-vear-old ewes:
Eve lambs one-year old:

Eve, Favorite, 10 years old, got by
Deans Wrinkly, of Vermont, and
brought to Missouri when lamb, has
taken II straight premiums; weight OF
fleece Is pounds and Is ounces; weight
of carcass SO pounds.
Ram, Matchless, two years old,
sheared at public shearing, April 4th,
1876, first fleece q Sd pounds; at
shearing April 4th, 1877, second fleece,
33 pounds, weight of carcass, l22
pounds; length staple, 8 IA inches.
Ram, Modoc, two years old, shcarcd
April Il. 1876, first fleece, IS pounds :
sheared April 4, 1877, second fleece,
81 GIG pounds; weight of carcass, LOG
pounds.
Little Wrinkly, one of Mr.. Jcwctt's
last purchases in Vermont, two years
old, sheared 26 ZIG pounds, weight OF
carcass, 10 pounds.
Ram, Goldfleecc, five years old,
SHARED p pounds, weight of carcass,
l26 pounds.
The wool shorn from these sheep is
unsurpassed for length of staple AND
styles very fine, and has that beauti-
full crimp, so much admired by breed
ers of merino sheep.
Mr.. Jewett has always been engaged
in growing fine woods. lie thoroughly
understands the business, and being
strictly honorable, parties may cores
pond with him in confidence that any
thing pertaining TO his flock and the
sheep business will be as represented
AT previous shearings, other wool
growers have joined with Mr.. Jewett
but this year he took lone hand, and
1t was decidedly q success.
Those in attendance will ever remcm-
Der the kind attention received on the
part of Mr.. Jewett, and especially, on
the part of his very amiable lady. AT
twelve O'Clock dinner was announced
the party repaired to the house, and af-
ter few preliminaries of arranging the
toilet, were seated at table beautifully
supplied with good things. None but
an adept in the culinary art could ar
range q table SO well calculated to
please the varying tastes Of so large 0
company.
In order to awaken lively interest
in the next shearing, Mr.. Jewett offers
premium Of $50 to all parties who
may wish to shear with him in q trial
for heavy fieeces as follows:
1926 to any person who can clip more
wool than he can, from pure bred
merino eve any age, for the years 1873
70, two fleeces. 1926 to any person who
can clip more wool than he can from a
pure bred merino ram any age for the
years 1889, two feeces.
This contest Is open to all fine wool
growers, and If accepted, they must no.
tify Mr., Jewett within six months
shearing to come off in Kansas City the
4th of April each year.

~ Two or three verdicts of the jury
at the late term Of the Addison County
Court were so different from what were
expected by those competent to form
opinions upon the weight Of testimony,
and In circumstances TO hear the state
ments In these particular cases, that the
attention of these gentlemen has been
drawn to the subject of the duties of
jurors, and led them TO remark upon
the wrong sentiment prevailing as to
the rules for governing jurors in max
ing up their decisions. Jurors cannot
be expected to understand the legal
rules for the admission OF rejection of
testimony, but they may, and generally
do, under the instruction of the court,
comprehend the competency ofevldence
for the establishment ofimportant facts.
At least they know that it is not proper
to ignore testimony, as is sometimes
done, or to find the facts independently
oft. Their oath binds them, or ought
to bind them, TO decide according to
the laws of the state and the evidence
given them in Court" They have no
business to decide upon any previously
conceived opinions, however well
backed up by proofs not giren IN Court.
It is entirely out of place to decide eli
Their for or against person on account
of any general good OF bad character.
The bad mans legal rights ought to be
just rs sacred as those OF the good
man. The mcanest man upon the face
Of the earth has the same right TO "life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
which is guaranteed by the constitution,
provided he docs not infringe upon the
protected rights of others. So the i'm
parchment Off witness does not neces-
sarily destroy his testimony, but only
impairs il so that it cannot stand aaginst
that of an unimpeached witness. If
jurors would bear in mind this one
principle, that they are to decide ac-
cording to law and evidence, laying
aside all prejudice and even all personal
knowledge, knowing for the purposes
Of the trial no mans character or stand
ing in the community, and passing no
judgment upon the law itself, but only
inquiring what is the spirit of the law,
we should have fewer wrong vcrdicts,
and juries would not so often be accused
Of being 'nncertain nS q school meet
ing"

DR.. Cutting, the curator of the state

with Mr.. O'COnnor's affidavit that he
shot the animal and that 1t was not in
any way disabled until he shot him /;
together with the affidavit of four citi-
Gems of Weybridge to the effect that
they are sure O'Connor killed the seal,
and that his reputation for truth Is
good. These documents are doubtless
sufficient to establish the genuineness
Of the specimen, which has been stuffed
and placed In the state cabinet; and we
have only to say that we never had any
reason to doubt the truth of the state
ment, made by AL Addison county cor
respondent, that seal In Barnum's
travelling collection died about that
time and was thrown away-near where
this seal was shot; and that II Is not
surprising that the coincidence Of the
loss Of Barnum's seal and the finding of
this one should have led to the SUPPOSE
ton that they were one and the same.
free Press.
Of course, the above establishes the
genuineness Of Mr.. O'Connor's seal be-
yond the shadow of doubt. These at
Gdavits as to their truthmlness must be
accepted as proof positive that he could
not have been mistaken us to the lire
Eaess Of this particular specimen of M
tural history. We yield the point to
DIR. Cutting and the Free Press and
are ready with them TO assert our
knowledge that this animal was Il pecul-
iarly lively one with maggots). There
Is, however, one little circumstance
connected with the discovery of this
very live seal and the announcement of
il to the public which DR.. Cutting
ought to annihilate, by affidavit or
otherwise. 1t is established by incon-
rovertible evidence, than which there
could be none better except afildavits
81 to Christopher O'Connor's truthful
ness, that is, by the evidence of the
senses of the witnesses, that when Mr..
O'Connor exhibited this very olive"
seal upon the streets Of Middlebury,
within short time offer killing him,
the flesh was in an advanced stage OF
decomposition. 1t is to be hoped the
learned curator will find some way to
account for this early decomposition,
for veritable seal found in little
stream In Vermont, several hundred
miles inland, is an acquisition to the
state cabinet, especially If 1t has no sus-
picion of deafness upon 1t. Let DIR. Cut
ting then give his attention to the pro-
curing of afiidavits TO disprovc the noto-
rious fact that one of BarRum's seals
died here and was thrown into the riy-
