THE VERMONT FARMER : AN AGRIOUXTTJKAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. JOnNBDUBY, JULY 30, 1875. The Trial. Not tho Brooklyn hugging, kisslng.f&o., sorapo, but a ttial of moro importance, ono which will probably occupy as much time nod which wilt merit, but nit from its na turo receive, moro of the attention of tho public, ia going on at lkavcr City, Utah. For years past tho Mormon government hag, as it wcro, kept tho United States gov ernment at a respectful distance, bid deQance to United States laws, and outraged and murdered United States oitiiens with impu. nity. Gradually, all this is being changed. Congress has boon compelled to partially open its eyes, so long purposely oloscd. Tho representative of tho second Vermont dis trict has been among those who have labored for this result. Within a yoar wohavo soon tho folds of tho law drawing moro and moro closely around the western prophet. Wo havo seen him indicted by tho United States courts. Wo havo seen him in prison. He may yet live long enough to show the world his rcprobato carcaM dangling from the gib bet in expiation ofsomo of his many crimes, und as a warning to others that tho course ofdefianco of all law, pursued by him, is not a Bafo example to follow. In 1857 occurred what is known as the "Mountain Meadow massacre." A large party of emigrants, men, women and chil drcn, who were passing through the neigh' borhood of the Mormon settlement, wcro sur rounded by armed men. They undo a bravo resistance, and finally John D. Leo, a leader of tho Mormon troops, appeared with a white flag. Tho emigrants held a council with him, in whioh ho represented that the at tacking party bad been Indians, and that ho had interceded for tho emigrants ; if tboy would lay down their arms and march out under protection of tho Mormon troops, thoy would be safe. No sooner wcro thoy fairly disarmed than tho brutal soldiery murdered tho men, outraged and than murdered tho women in cold blood, vrhilo the smallest of the children were carried off by tho Mor uions. Nothing has over been dono about the matter by tho authorities; the Mormon power was too great. But government sees if thcro is ever to be an end to the insolcnco and utter disregard of law practiced by IJngbam and his crew of saints, it must bo brought about by force. And it begins to look as though tho day was coming. John D. Leo is now having his trial for the mur der in September, 1857. "Witnesses who participated in the affair testify that tho massacro was determined upon in a meeting of the bishops and council, and that Leo dc libcrately planned and executed tho wholo fiendish scheme. Tho cattlo of tho cmi grants were confiscated to the Mormon church, and tho goods were mostly taken and sold by Lee. lirigham Young is rep resented as saying, "What you know of this, say nothing of it. Don't talk of it even among yourselves." When tho prosecution wcro questioning the witnesses about the distribution of tho plun der, tho counsel for tho defence tried to have them stopped, claiming they wcro not ad- ncrmg to tno prosecution ol l-ee, but were trying to fix the crimo on somo ono else, Tho counsel for tho prosecution replied that he wanted but tho truth, whoever it irapli catcd, and that his opponent was afraid his real client would bo reached, which created quite a sensation in tho court room, as was known lirigham Young was referred to. We do not expect the trial of Leo to equal that of Bcechcr and Tilton, just end ed, but wo do hope to sco lirigham Young and ono or two others as thoroughly investi gated as wcro several outside parties in the lato trial, and we aro confident ii tbey are so investigated there will bo now trials fol lowing this ono of Lee, whioh will, with their results, take a prominent place in tho history of America. Notwithstanding tho fact that American marksmen have just won the championship in competition with both English and Irish on their own soil, wo arc, as a people, prob ably the most poorly drilled nation on tho face of the earth. Barring tho education and practice incident to the lato war, and the armies which aro left over therefrom but growing less every year, thero is very litllo practice with powder and ball among our people this side of the western wilds. Just across tho border in Canada wa find private rifle associations in almost ovcry village, and an organized militia, who havo thoir regu lar days of training, in all parts of tho Bo- minion, in somo countries ot Europe wo find every man is a trained soldier by tho timo ho attains his majority, and in all much moro attention is paid than here to shooting practice. But wo bclievo it is just as well ; instead of accidents occurring at rifle matches, wo tako it out in little boys handling pistols, or big ones getting battered with a murder ous baso ball ; and after this thero is a con Biucrable amount ot tho timo and monoy saved which goes to tho invention and manu faoture of tho various Yankeo contrivances which adorn the patent ofEco. Yes ; wo repeat, though wo aro not quite so well drilled in tho art of war, it is just as well. Wo may not bo called upon to fight again in this generation, and if so, practico would cow bo but a waste ; and then, every Yankeo knows ho doesn't needany training, anyway, to whip half a dozen or any othor national ity, if it should happen to como to war. Journalism is a business, and is governed by tho rules of business. The shrewdost and most far-seeingjnan succeeds in it tho best. Ho who narrows. his work, as a journalist, down to tho promotion of tho interests of an individual or a party, prostitutes tho power ho might havo wioldod, and cripples himself. The cowspapor should be for the great public, and should stand on so high a piano as to bo above mero partisanship. If a man or a measuro moot with tho approval of the jour nalist ho should say so, but he should never hesitate to condemn wrong doing and to pro test against what ho believes to bo a mis taken polioy, without regard to what popular man or party may bo committed to said polioy. True journalism is abovo partisan ship. r i The Princo of Wales, it has been dceided by British statesmen, must go to India, tray, cl about with all the pomp and splendor suitable for an heir apparent and show the natives sorapthlng of his greatnoss, Tho main object is to impress upon tho East Indian mind tho power of England and tho desirability of so behaving themselves as not to incur her displeasure. A motion to saddle tho expense of this trip of tho august son of his mother upon tho Indian govern ment mot with opposition, tho other day, from some mombers of the British House of Commons, but the spirit that "Britannia rules" provalled, and India will bo invited to pay thoexpenscs of having a livo prinoe within her territory for a few weeks, and bo thank. fill for tho privilege. Wo havo received from tho manufacturers ono of tho Novelty Itovolving Flower Stands which is about tho neatest thing for a flower stand that wo havo soen. It is mado of wire, of handsomo design, will oarry a pile oi flowers, is easily removed or covered on a cold night and affords freo access to tho floor under it. All lovers of flowers should send to Ellis Bro's, Kccne, N. II., for circu lars illustrating and describing these stands . It has been decided by an Indiana.court that a written contract of marriago, signed by tho parties, is valid in law. A coupl 11. Bucll, of Indianapolis, Ind., and Miss Gilbert, a short timo ago signed such a contract, with tho added stipulation that if ever they ceased to love each other tho con. tract should cease, and havo since been liv ing together. Somebody who thought thoy were not lawfully married, had them prose cutcd, and tho court decides that the con tract constituted a legal marriage, but that tho proviso about terminating the rolatiou when they ceaso to love is void, and so they aro married "till death doth them part," uu less they get a divorce, which is cosy enough in that land of tho free. Tho now president of Middlebury collcgo has a level head on tho college regatta ques tion. In his inaugural address, last week, ho said : . Physically trained and cultured in tho gymnasia of theso Vermont farms, it will not be needful for theso students to spend most of their collogo timo and their fathers' money in this wretched business ot boating, l know not bow others may leel. but 1 turn from tho lato spcotaclo of tho equivalent of a pagan tournament at Saratoga, as positivo ly revolting. Let it bo a sourco of exulta tion to us that wo draw our Btuucots to such an extent fresh from the gymnastic drill of the tarm and tho shop that no such unscbol arly and demoralizing necessity as this mode ot pnystcai culture snail ever bo laid upon us. Parent' Relation to Schools. No. 18. Every toachcr Bhould bo allowed to man ago his own school. It not competent to do bo, bo should not havo been employed. If a mistake has been made, and an incompcten teacher employed, tho difficulty will not bo removed by tho interference of parents. Teachers often seek advice and may profit by it ; but any effort on tho part of parents to dictato and control in the matter of school management is cot only unwise, but ruinous The toachcr too often finds among his patrons those who presume to giva gratuitous informs tion and counsel. Mrs. A., in a very friendly spirit, informs him that her neighbor has some very bad boys who always make trouble in school, and warns him to be on his guard Mrs. 0. thinks it important that ho should know how sensitivo the parents in that district aro on the subject or corporal punishment, and advises him to govern mainly bymoral sua sion. Sho assures him, if ho will do so, h will bo popular and successful. Mrs. L., an old school teacher, has in her own estimation, somo excellent ideas upon different methods of instruction, and sho very anxious that the mister should adopt them in that school. So tho meddlesome, mischief-making goes on, until the young teacher is distracted and perplexed beyond measure ; as ho cannot, if ho would, listen to the suggestions nor follow the advice of all, he fs suro to become the subject of tea-party gossip, and of village criticism and abuso, such as will greatly interfere with his useful ness, if it does not prevent his success in that district. Wise teachers pay no attention to such unwarranable interference ; and wise parents allow and encourago tho teacher to manago his own school in his own way. And parents should always sustain tho teacher in maintaining his authority in the school. That authority is supremo and may never be trifled with by tho pupils. Un conditional obedienco in the school, as well as in tho family, is the rule ; and tho teacher has tho right to expect the cordial support of all bis patrons in enforcing that rulo. Tho best good of tho child, as well as tho success of tho school, depends upon this co operation. Parents aro too often ready to listen to tho complaints of their children, and to sym pathize with them in rebellion against tho authority of tho school. It would be bet ter never to allow such fault finding ; never to critizo, but always to sustain tho teacher in tho presenco of children. If thoy can havo tho encouragement of parents in their recklessness at school, they will becomo bold and defiant and will paralyze, if thoy do cot destroy, tho influence and efforts even of tho best teachers. But grant that tho teacher is in fault, that ha is really inefficient and tho school comparitively worthless ; it is better to sus tain even a poor toachcr for months than to allow the pupils to cave any agenoy in breaking up the school. If an incompetent teacher is to bo dismiss ed, it should be dono by tho Independent action of tho district, and not at tho BUggcs tion or by tho aid of pupils iu rebellion. Let them bo kept in pubjeotion by whatever means necessary, without regard to the efficiency or inefficiency of tho governing power. Parens. Letter from Sherbrooke, P, Q. Seeing your little notico of this town in tho last Farm sn, and another still smaller ono in tho Caledonian, I proposo to say something moro about tho place. Sherbrooke ia an incorporated town not village and is independent of any other town, which would not bo tho case if incor poratcd as a village. It is a village prob ably not as large as St, Johnsbury, but grow ing moro rapidly. It is tho chief town of tho district of St. Francis, and tho jatl and district oourt aro located here. Manufac tures are very lively. Tho Patsu manufac turinc comoanv keep somo 400 bands em- u . . ployed on woolen goods ; the foundries, ma chine shops, carriage shops, Ac, are too numerous to bo mentioned, iqoioncrs browcry uses up somo 150 or 200 bushols of barley per day. i t t A company has, just beon formed, or is forming, for tho manufacture of a typo-setting and distributing machino whioh has been in vented and patented by George Bradford, formerly of St. Johnsbury. Tho maehino will nso typo mado expressly for it, and aftor tho matter is used tho distributor works automatically, returning each typo to its proper plaeo. Ono can Bot this distributor to work in tho evening, go homo, and depend upon finding his distributing all properly done when ho returns in tho morning. Tho model is now on oxhlbition in this village, and Mr. Bradford feels confident of succoss. Hunter Bradford has also a patent electro- typing process, which Bradford Brothers & Co. aro using in the Gazetto office. Ho says ho can fit any offico in tho Dominion to do clectrotyping, at a cost of about $75, by his process. It looks to mo liko a good thing. As in the Unitod States the "national game" is baso ball, so here it is cricket, nnd matches aro frequent and exciting. Tho "universal Yankeo" shows his universality in this question of out-door sports, as in every thing clso. While I know of hardly a cricket or lacrosso club south sf tho lino, the moro aggrcssivo baso ballists havo pushed ovor and almost wholly occupy tho field of out-door sports for twenty or thirty miles on this sido. In nothing is tho character of a community or a section of country moro plainly mirrored than in its newspapers, and, though thcro is a marked improvement going on from year to year, still tho Canadian press must tako rapid steps forward beforo it can rauk equal with that of tho United States. Tho weekly with "tho largest circulation in Quebec provinco, outsido of Montreal," tho Sherbrooko Gazette, baa less than 12,500 subscribers, and as a nowspaper amounts to very little Thcro are positively no first- class country newspapers, liko tho Kaiuikh, Argus, Watchman, Union, &o., and nono even that match the smaller nnd less preten tious sheets of Vermont, such as tho bright and notvsy Monitor or the Woodstock Post "as was." Daily papers aro not thought of in places tho size of thoso Vermont vil lages which furnish two apicco, and tho newsy Witness and tho dignified Gazette, of Montreal, the former perhaps a good deal like tho Burliogtou Free Press, ouly three or four times as enterprising, and the latter about such a paper in general character tho Boston Journal, aro fair representatives of Canadian newspaper enterprise. Thero aro no papers lively and "loud," after the stylo of tho New York Sun, or sarcastio and noway liko tho Springfield Republican. Tho Canadian Illustrated News is the Canadian Harper's Weekly, and borrows somo of its illustrations from Nost in Harpers. The Canadian Meat and Produco Com pany, located here, is ono of tho most impor tant manufactories in Canada, furnishing market lor tbousands ol cattle, which arc canned and sent to Europe. Tbo company aro constantly orowdod with orders. Wo havo what thoy aro trying in Massa chusctts "a stringent liccnso law." Any one can sell liquor in quantities of, 1 believe, three gallons or moro. Tho council grants shop and tavern licenses or not, at its dis crction. In somo municipalities no licenses aro granted. In this town they grant licen Tho shop liccnso permits tho holder to soli liquor in quantities of not less than three half pints, but it must not bo drank on the premises. The tavern liccnso allows tho holder to sell by tho glass, to bo drank on tho spot, or any other way. A St. Johns buryite was hero a few days sinco, and ex pressed surprise at tho cumber of hotels, lie probably did cot understand that any ono wishing to run a rum bolo and bo safo from tho law must only provide a bed two, and a stall or two, for horses of travel ers, to satisfy tho law, tako out a tavern liccnso and go to making his littlo pilu in little hell all his own. Unc of our best institutions is tho market It is openTuosdays, Thursdays and Saturdays but the largest business is done Saturdays, By four o'clock in tho morning a row of teams of all kinds numbering from 50 to 75 aro ranged around tbo square, backed up to tho plank sidowalk which surrounds it, and tho chatter of buyers and Bellers, in French and English, fills tho air. All kinds of pro duco aro here : Meat of all kinds, fruit eggs, onions, and vegetables, maplo sugar in faet everything producod iu Canada is brought hero and passed directly from th producer to tho consumer. Thoso who sell from wagons pay ten cents per day into tho town treasury, and thero aro a fow cheap Btalls which pay rent. Tho "Sherbrooko Cooperative Company is a combination of workiogmcn who a few months ago started a store. Tho shares of stock aro fixed at $5, and about 8000 is now being used. Thoy sell goods at tho going prices, and divide profits among shareholders Thoy givo no crodit except to shareholders. who can obtain credit to tho amount of their stock.

Wheat as a Legal Tender, Tho gentlemen, inoluding tho statesmen who insist that the redemption or non-re demptioo ol tho greenbacks can in no way affect their value, becauso thoy aro them selves the standard and measures of values refuse to admit that it is necessary that "monoy" shall have any intrinsio valuo Thoy insist that anything may bo mado legal tender at such valuo as tho government may choose by law to attach to it. Wo will, in carrying out this theory, assume that standard wheat, say Ubicagoo. 12, bo se lected as n moasuro of valuo, and that t check for a bushel of wheat woighlng 00 lbs. cliall bo a legal tender to tho amount of ono dollar. As it would bo both inconvo nicnt and unnecessary to nav over tho actual wheat in ovorv transaction, a system of chocks would servo for that purposo. Tho wheat being on deposit, or behoved to bo on deposit, tho checks entitling the boldor to ono, ten, a hundred, a thousand, or any cum bcr of bushels of wheat, OACb bushel weigh ioa GO lbs. of standard quality, would be legal tenders for as many dollars, ono dollar to each bushel. If in tho course of timo theso checks were issued in large numbers. and it was then discovered that the govern ment had no wheat with whioh to redeem them, and that it oevcr Intended to do so. and that it did not oven intend to pay inter est on tho checks until such time as tbey should bo rodoemed, assuming that theso cheeks for wheat thus issued by tho govoru meut, and that in tho popular phrase "tho faith and resouroos ol the country wero pledged to the irredomplion," how long would they remain at par, and bow long would thn hnliW nf (ill IU cbango that commodity for the chook. lunicago Xribuno, intTon Vermont Farmer : Iu reply to tho abovo. 1 wish to sav : Docs i not the government exneot to redeem a. grcci havo greenback as much as it docs a bond, or wo got a country in which tho poor owns n greenback and tho rich man a bond, nnd it is of moro importance to man owns SCO that tho rich man is paid than it is tho poor? is there not as much wheat in tho grana bond ' granary for a greenback as thero is for a I .Lhe government is holdcn for both.

St. Johnsbury, Vt., July 27, 1875. Telegraphing by Word of Mouth. Wo recollect ono instance in our armv ex perience when a very serious caso of mud dled repetition occurred in which no typo-sot- tcr was concerned. Iu the march of the army of tho Potomao up tho Peninsula, the lirst rcbol encampment captured was at liar- wood's Mills, which tho enemy abandoned and fell back to their entrenchments in front of Pctcrsburgb. This camp was but a picket lino, along wnlcn winter quarters bad boon built, and which proved very handy lor our tirod troops to oooupy for a day or two, then burn and advanco on tho march that McClol Ian said would soon drivo the enemy to tho wall. Here lor tho urst timo was tried tho sys tem of passing messages along tho picket lino "by word ol mouth." Uon.

Two belated teams, that had been out ioratziug for coarse louder lor rebel animals had not heard ot the evacuation by their troops nnd in the eve ning drovo inside our lines with wagous well laden with cornstalks. They wero captured by the vidcttes, taken to the nearest reserve, and an orderly dispatched to inform the com manding general, boon alter his arrival there, tho order was started along the picket lino "Send tho two teamsters to Gen. Han- cook's headquarters under guard." Along tho Vermont lino tho message passed with tolerable correctness. Then it went tbo length of the Irish brigido, "Send them two sisters to Gen. Uanooclc, tho head center." Then it traversed the 20th New York's Ger man lino."Savo dem swio lagers for Hancock's headquarters, " and when tho mysterious messago got as tur out along tho lino as tho regiment guarding tbo corral, wbcre tho do- tail was butchering cattlo for the next day's rations, tbo sturdy pickets gavo tho order, fcavo lor lien.

Soda Water. l'eoplo who indulge in drinking soda water may bo interested to know what it is mado of, as told by the Boston Commercial Bui Ictin : Tho water costs to manufacture about half a cent a gallon, and in 'retailing it tho prin cipal cost is that of the flavoring syrups and tho tountain which :s in somo stores an ele gant picco of furniture, costing as much as $5,000. As for tho flavors, it is very seldom pure fruit syrup is used, artificial flavors being moro common, as tbo real, articles are apt to spoil and need much care. Thcro is noining ueieterious wnatcver aoont punsscuia water, tho interior of tho fountain being generally lined with porcelain or block tin : but whilo somo respectable druggists use only puro tlavorings, artificial substitutes ot highly questionable character aro not infrequently mado uso ot, tho most common being a pro duct styled butyrio acid mada from animal fats treated with potash and sulnhurie acid This being distilled produces butyrio ether, a colorless, pungent fluid, to which are added aniline dyes or cochtnoal to givo tho colors Powdered orris root is usod in solleuing aud toning down tho rankuoss of tho artificial syrups, gum arablo to givo them body, and gelatine to givo tho creamy head to the soda wgtcr as it is drawn lrom tbo tountain. Kthcr flavors aro cheaper by 200 per cent than tho genuine, and aro largely imported lrom Franco. Editors at Pack-Hones. Thero is a standing joke in tho "far west,' which is commonly played upon greenhorn who go out thero to mako their fortunes in a few months hunting gold and silver, who aro told that though gold and silver are a littlo scarce just then, thoro aro plenty ot brass mines. 1 besc brass mines aro to found pretty much overywhero and aro work ed all tho timo, with what degree of profit is not so clear. 1 hero is not a day passes in which wo do not receive worthless books, pamphlets, circulars, catalogues, magazines &o.. enclosing a slin for tho special ovo o tho editor, asking him to do certain adver tising for tho senders without chargo, and "sond them a marked copy."

About four years ago the King of Burmah wished to start a weekly newspaper, in tho vernacular and In Eogllsh, and forthwith consulted an ominont Jlritish othcial then Burmah about tho matter. His Majesty said thcro need bo no troublo about minor details ; he would sco to them himself; what ho wanted was n competent hnglish editor, with Anglo-Indian experieuco of journalism to whom a thousand rupocs a month would bo paid, His Majosty added that he would ouly mako ono stipulation namoly, that tho editor should plodgo bimselt to follow with constant approval tbo lino of policy adoptod by tho oourt that nothing displeasing to his Majesty should over appear in tbo journal and that in caso of these rulos boiog infringed tbo editor should bolorchand sanction his lia bility to reccivo immediately 500 strokes on tbo solo ot tho loot with tbo "sluckkak wukk,' whatover that may mean !
