A Bit of Texual Criticism.

The revision of the Old Testament
has revived the hopes of some people
who expect to have things smoothed
for them all through this life. 1t was
this interesting fact that induced

The Vermont Brigade.

ben: Perley Poore in Boston BudSetl
The Vermont brigade was the pet or
ganiZatiOn of the Army of the Potomac,
and Miles O'ReiIly described them as
honest farmers turned agabonds-simple
countrymen turned into heroes. They
stole ancient horses and bony cows on the
march. They pillaged moderately in
other things They swept the diaries and
stripped the orchards for miles where they
travelled. They chased rabbits when they
went into camp after long marches, and
they yelled like wild Indians when neigh
boring camps were silent through fatigue
They were in-disciplined and familiar
with their officers. They staggered in a
cool, impudent way, and looked down
with patroniZing Yankee GOODNESS upon
all regiments that were better drilled,
and upon that part of the army
generally that did not belong to
the Vermont brigade They were strangely
ally, but of the brigade collectively; for
they knew perfectly well they were the
best fighters in the known world They
were long of limb and could outmarch
the army. They were individually self
reliant and skillful in the use of arms,
and they honestly believed that the Yer
mont brigade could not be beaten by the
combined armies of the rebellion.
They were veterans In fighting quail
ties almost from the first skirmish. This
was at Lees Mills. They crossed a, mar
row dam under fire, made the attack
they were instructed to make, and came
back wading waist deep in the water, with
a steadiness that surprised the army.
They were an incorrigible, irregular,
noisy set of rascaIs They were much
sworn at during their four years of serv-
ice: yet they were at all times pet brig
ade. There were but two things they
would do-march and fight; and these
they did in a manner peculiarly their
own They had long. slow, swinging
stride on the march, which distanced
everything which followed them.
They had a quiet attentive, earnest,
individual way of fighting that made
them terrific in battle Each man knew
that his neighbor in the ranks was not
going TO run away, and he knew, also,
Shat he himself intended to stay where he
was Accordingly, none of the attention
of the line was diverted from the import
ant duties of loading aud firing, rapidly
and carefully. When moving into action
and when holly engaged they made
queer, quaint jokes and enjoyed them
greatly. They crowed like cocks. they
baaed like sheep, they neighed like
horses, they beloved like bulls, they
barked like dogs, and they counterfeited
with excellent effect the Understandable
music q the mule. When, perchance,
they held a picket line in the forest, 1t

cause gastric catarrh. The tannin in tea

President PurneIl's Resignation.
Special Correspondence of Gazette and journal.
NEWARK, June 27.-0ur people have
now settled down to the belief that the
college is safe under the management of
the board of trustees. The trustees are
particularly anxious to impress upon all
that the ladies were not ''removed for
cause" to use Democratic expression,
but that it was simply inadvisable in view
of the inadequate accommodations to con-
tinue co-education in the college.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted upon the resignation of
President Purnell: .-.-E
ResOlDed, That we accept the resignation
OF President Punell with sincere regret
that for the last 10 years our relations with
him, both personal and official, have been
most intimate, pleasant and cordial,
and without the slightest incident to inter-
rupt or mar them; that as board and as
individuals, we desire to bear unanimous
testimony 10 his high character rs citizen,
u scholar AMI instructor, and Christian gem
tlemnn, without stain orreproach respected
and lovr.l by MI who know him. That In
thus sryHring the official ties that have so
long and 81 closely united us, he carries
with lin our highest regards, and our best
wishes and prayers for his future prosperity
and happiness.
The vote upon tile abolition of CO.
education was 10 yeas to s nays.
1t is stated that Professor Chester,
whose resignation was accepted as
professor of Geology, is requested to re
| turn.
