esting information in relation to the ag-
rlcultural interests Of Vermont is con
tanned in letter from Forbes to the
Boston JO,Unul. According to his infur-
nation the season on the whole promises
to be fully as favorable for the farming
interest of the state rs any since 1850.
The climatic conditions of the season
have been favorable to the growth and
maturing of grass and the principal cereal
crops. 1t has been, on the other hand,
unfavorable for corn and potatoes. The
spring was about ten days earlier than
last year, and the crops were further ad-
vanced than usual at the opening of the
summer season. Heavy rains fell through
out the state in the early spring and sum
mer, much to the benefit of pastures and
meadows and but few hot days marked
the summer season. Frequent and heavy
showers have fallen during the summer
in some sections, notably in the counties
on the west side of the State. The east
side counties have had less rain, and as Il
consequence they have suffered from
drouth Complete returns show that the
hay crop in the State, was 10 per cent
above the average annual yield since 1850,
and at least % per cent larger than the
yield of the season of 1855. Every county
except Grand Isle, Essex and Caledonia
report the crop to be above the average of
the past five years. The crop is generally
reported to be of superior quality But
little old hay remained on hand at the
time the new crop was secured The aver
age annual hay crop for the past decade
has been about 100000 tons, or an aver
age yield of one ton to an acre. The full
returns of the hay crop secured the pres
ent season aggregate 1850 tons. The
number of tons and the percentage of
yield to an average crop by counties is as
follows.

THURSDAY
THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative Assembly made pro-
gress with the Appropriation Act yester-
day, and on the whole did good and use
full work. A short discussion took place
on the salaries of District Judges, which
is suggestive. The fact appears to be if
there are miscarriages of justice in any
place, it is because the appropriation for
the minor judicial officers is altogether
too small. There is no economy IN
starving the Judges, or placing judi
cial officer on the footing of day laborer
as TO paw. Mr. Thurston thinks that
the increase of salaries in various direc-
tions is ruinous to the country. We do
not think so. The men who do the
works of the people should be adequately
paid. The great blot.on the American
judicial system is not the elective princi-
pie so much as the vastly insufficient
salaries paid to the Judges who are
elected for short terms, and prevented
practicing at the bar for the time being.
In this country the elective principle
does not prevail, but in the majority OF
cases Judges and judicial officers are un-
derpaid.
