Miss Emma Gregory, who resides
with her uncle, in this town, returned
from a brief visit to her parents in
Union, on last Friday. From haste
IN her re- urn, it would seem that she

heart here and hurried back to see after
it, although she was gladly welcomed
back by all. at any rate, we shall sec

This ia the second month OF Leap
Year, and we have yet to hear of one

Great complaint is made about the
stopping up of the country road leading
from the Pumpkintown road beyond

much farther and over mighty bad

country. and we call upon our live and
enterprieing board Of County Commits
>iOnerS to see to it that this road Is lail
ont and built; it would add greatly to
the convenience OF the public, and
would be Of inestimable benefit to our
town. We hope the citizens will aid
the Commissioners in this important
matter.

CORNWALL, VT, April 81, 1885.
Editor Register and JOUTWal-In the
last issue of the REGISTER AND JOUR-
NAL occurs an article entitled ga Corn
wall School Districts Affairs" which
in general tenor and statement is SO
misleading as to require explanation
and correction.
AT the schOol-meeting referred to-,
aside from the ordinary business, a
motion was passed to repair and paint
the school house, and a general discus
sion of school interests ensued. 1t was
urged by the chairman that teachers of
moral and intellectual worth should be
employed, and while religion proper
was not to be taught in our common
school, morality was, and that any
teacher refusing to repeat the Lords
prayer, or read from the Holy Scrip
lures, irhen re1NeSted so 10 do, was I'M
worthy to be employed. The clerk
followed with similar remarks.
The public can judge whether the
expression of such sentiment is good
ground of oflense to sensible Catho-
lie. 1t was not stated by the chairman,
neither by the clerk, nor by any per-
should be hired. Within six years,
not "tweuty," nominal Catholics have
been employed to teach in this district
seven terms. Said chairman, reported
as tyrannizing over poor Catholics"
has for the present term engaged a
lady who received Catholic baptism
Wherein does this show " religious
animosity"
Your informant states that half OF
the school children in the district are
of Catholic parentage. True, and yet
not a single Catholic parent was pres
ent at the school meeting; with one
exception, there seldom has been. Pro.
testants are generally allowed to vote
their own money to educate the chill
dren in the district, of whom more
than half are of Catholic parents, who
represent on the grand list, by the tax
book, just one dollar in ten! Fol
years we have thus taken advantage
and tyrannized over our poor Catholic
neighbors."
Why does the gentleman arraigI
PrOtestants for unkind talk and action
making grave charges gathered wholly
from reports? Why was he absen
from the meeting? He went to Mid
dlebury that day.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, the under
signed would assert their belief tina
the kindest feelings exist toward al
Catholics in the district, and that moth
ing has or will be done at which an
sensible Catholic ought to feel in any
wise aggrieved.

SECTION 4 A manufacturer or importer of
commercial fertilizers, sold OF offered for sale in
the state, who violates any OF the provisions OF
this act, shall forfeit to the state one thousand
dollars, to be recovered In an action ON the bond
given by such manufacturer or importer under
the pro, i5on of section two of this act. And IL
shall be the duty OF the secretary OF the board OF
agriculture to notify the state treasurer of all
violations OF the provisions OF TINS act, ana inc
state treasurer shall Immediately commence SUIT
on the bond in the name OF the state, anu prose-
cute the same to final Judgment
A part of section ten is that "the
state chemist, who shall properly ana
lyze the same, shall duly report to the
secretary of the board of agriculture
the result of said analysis, stating the
methods used by him to determine the
amounts of potash, nitrogen Soluble re-
vertcd) and in soluble phosphoric acid,
and such amounts; and said secretary
of the board of agriculture shall cause
such reports to be published, giving
the name of the chemist making the
same," and agrceblY to this | submit
the following: Professor A. ii. Sabin
of the University of Vermont at Bur-
| lington is state chemist ,er oBiciO, to an
alyzc the same, and has analysed as
follows part Of said samples, but sick
ness III his family and increased work
has prevented the completion of all the
samples. The methods used arc deter
mination of phosphOric acid i'll absence
of iron and aluminium by uranium
method; in presence of iron and alum
mum by Pembcrton' molybdate of am
monia method; potash,by precipitation
with platinum Chords, and nitrogen
by combustion with soda lime. The
latter does not give nitrogen present
as nitrates, but is the common method
That the farmer may understand their
relative value, figure their worth as
believe it to be comparative standard,
by placing a supposed value to am
monia of twenty six cents; nitrogen.
twenty four cents; soluble and reverted
phosphoric acid at twelve and one hal
cents; insoluble phosphoric acid at six
cents and potash at five cents per pound
Some figure soluble phosphoric acio
at twelve and one half cents and revert
ed at eight cents, but as | believe thai
the reverted is rs valuable as the soluble
| see no reason to reduce the prices tol
it, vet it is usual so to do. | figure
thus that the farmer may see their com
parativc value, as | believe, from {
reasonable standpoint; and yet, it does
not show that the benefit is limited tt
that price, or that it will benefit yor
at all. This must be found out by eX
J pertinent. give in the following Ia
bles the PERCENTAGE of each ingredient
supposed to be valuable, as called fol
in the law. First, as found by the av
erage of three separate analyses of oul
state chemist, and second as guaran
teed by the manufacturer. 1t will bt
seen that / figure the worth also from
the prices before mentioned, and place
the same under the percentages. Thu
the farmer at Il glance can see the com
parative value.
