The press Of this day has duty in the
premises. II is, on the receipt Of credible
intelligence Of vice and crime 70 not merely
publish the facts, but to call on the officers
OF tho law TO take cognizanoe Of the facts,
and to go forward and develop such evidence
as will lead TO the conviction of the criminal
parties. II is not the duty Of the press to
search out legal evidence, or even to give
the names Of its informants, IL 10 doing so il
betrays cobGdence.-PitsJurg (Pa) Com.

We trust that President Hayes will soou
promulgate plan for the reform of the ser.
vice which will DO sufficiently thorough aud
comprehensive to command public respect
and that it will be made apparent that the
delay in its adoption has been due to occu

apathy or triumph Of hostile influences. Il
is certainly time that the influences and prao

10 the PatrOns Of the vermont Farmer.


During nearly seven years. | have pub
lhhcd the VERM ONT FARMER, endeavoring
to supply my many patrons with home az
ricultural journal that should preclude the
necessity Of sending out Of the state for such
papers. But while the kindly words Of
many patrons and the generous contributions
to its columns by many gifted writers has
been a source Of pleasure, the limited cirCu-
lation and advertising patronage bestowed
upon any local paper, even in such an in
telligent and progressive state as Vermont,
renders it impossible to compete in variety
Of matter, in beauty Of illustrations, in com.
prehensive market reports, or in tho money
and talent lavished upon the agricultural
papers Of immense circulations published for
the country at large. have found, too, by
costly experience that it is impossible for a
country paper, however ably and conscien-
tiouslp conducted to give its subscribers as
much value for their subscription money as
one that has broader field Of patronage
and a larger fund of cash and varied talent
to draw from.
Desiring to deal fairly with my subscrib-
ers, have done what think they will con.
slider very liberal thing for them, in selling
and transferring the whole subscription list
and patronage of the VERMONT FARMER ia
the AMERICAN CULTIvAToR of Boston, an
eight-page illustrated weekly paper that
stands deservedly at the head Of the agri
cultural press Of America; paper with Q
circulation nearly ten times larger than that
Of the FARMER in the days Of its greatest
prosperity ; one that spends on each weekly
issue ten times the money that any country
paper can afford to, and employs an editor
ial staff, reporters and correspondents, I'm
surpassed in ability, energy and knowledg
Of public needs. In making choice of thu
AMERICAN CuLTvAToR as the paper to whicI
/ most desired to transfer the list of tn
FARMER, also had in mind the fact that tn
number of Vermonters already taking tina
paper is much larger than the subscription
list in this state of any other agriculture
paper, and hence believed the AMERICA
CULTIvAToR would be the natural choice o
the larger portion of the FARMER subscribers
Upon receiving copy of the CULT1vAToR
am sure the friends of the FARMER wi
haartilv sanctiop tho choioa
The AMERICAN CULTIvAToR will be ful
nished free to all subscribers who have pal
for the FARMER in advance until the tim
such subscription expires. One copy of til
issue of May 10 will be sent free to eac
subscribers to the FARMER aud as this issu
is the last number Of the VERMONT FARMEl
every subscriber will receive the AMERIcA A
CULTIvAToR in its stead as long as he ma
wish to continue it.
The undersigned respectfully desires you
careful examination and cordial receptio
and support of the CULTIvAToR, fully belle,
ing that you will be satisfied with the chang
and in making the above announcement

SUPERSTITION IN PESNsYLvANIA.-A wo-
man committed suicide in Somerset county
few weeks since. While grave was pre-
pairing for her in public cemetery, several
men came forward aud objected to her bur-
ial because the place would be haunted, all
these idiots being imbued with the fear of a
pOst-mortem appearance, with the usual
blood-curdling capers of the disembodied spir-
il, and the husband of the unfortunate lady
was compelled to bury her on spot set
apart on bis farm. The circumstances be-
came generally known, and some kind
hearted neighbors, who don't take much
stock in ghosts, resurrected the body, and
buried it in the place which she had selected
previous to shutting of. Then the supersti-
tious people got violent, One of them who
appeared TO have dabbled in the art Of as
trology, or mystical lore, made calculation
to the effect that three hundred years must
elapse before the "spook" could be finally
quoted, and so great was the feeling in the
matter that the gentleman in charge Of the
cemetery has been notified to remove the
body inside Of ten days, or abide the conse-
quences.

Turkey and Russia are both large consum-
ers Of cotton goods. During the Crimean
war our exports were large, but prices
ranged higher during the three years 1853
As than in 1852. With the current econ
omics and improvements in culture,
we doubt not the South will be able to
meet the crisis, if it should prove to be one,
without material detraction from her pros.

To sum up, Randall s still the most form
idable candidate. and unless the coalition
against him progresses tomorrow more
rapidly than 1t did to-day, he will win.
II can be positively stated that King will
not be confirmed; ut least five Republicans
will vote against him, as will all the Demo-
Gratis, on account Of Anderson's position in
the Cnstom-House. Hayes is fully aware Of
this fact and Kings resignation would relieve

borne to their final resting place and buried
with appropriate services.
