Extensive Forokkies in Vermont.—A correspondent of the Boston Journal, writing from St. Albans, Vermont, 14th inst., gives the following account of some extensive forgeries by which some of the banks in that section have becu victimized: “There has been quite a stir here in rcgnrd to some forging operations which were carried on quite extensively during the week. The facts as I learn from a gentleman who came from Vergennes are, that about a week ago a gentleman accompanied with a lady came to Rutland, booking bis name a* O. B. dark, having numerous letters purporting to be writtengentlemen of influence at the West to Presidents, Cashiers and Directors of Bauks in this section, stating that they were about forming a company at the West for the purpose of raising sheep, and that said dark was the agent to make purchases. He went to the bank at Rutland and made a deposit of $2200, staling that lie was going about the country to make his selections and weather. He went about among the farmers, and seemed very shrewd aud a good judge of sheep stock, but made no bargains, only with tiie banks iu the way of getting drafts dis counted, drawu on the parlies at the West, endorsed by himself. The banks victimized are—the bank at Rut land, about $4000, banks at Bellow1 Falls, Brandon, Middlebury, Vergennes aud Orwell, about $40<XI, making in all over $25,000. Nothing was suspected of being wrong uutil to-day, he leaving yesterday for pans un known. For Information of your bank officers and others I will give you a description of said Clark as he was described to me:—Medium stature, with broad shoulders; wearing black hair and whiskers when here; spare counte nance and black eyes. I hope, if he chances to come down in the vicinity of Boston, the police, who are noted for their skill iu such matters, will briug him to justice.” jjy The Boston Journal says, that at a re cent meeting of the State Board of Agricul ture of Massachusetts, the subject of the pro posed Agricultural College was very fully dis cussed, and the sentiment of the members present at length took form in the unanimous passage of a series of resolutions, which de clare the opinion that the proposed college should not be immediately connected with any institution now in existence, and llial the con trol and jurisdiction of the affair should be vested in the Board of Agriculture as immedi ately representing the farming interests of the Commonwealth. A committee was appointed to present the views of the Board before the committee of the Legislature having this sub ject in charge. BY TELEGRAPH. TO THE Portland Daily Press.

EDDY, SOLICITOR OF PATENTS, Late Agent of V. S Patent OJJtce, Washington, (underlie Act oj 1837.) 76 State Street* <>pposite Kilby Street* BOSTON. AFTER an extensive practice of upwards of twen ty yea s.coutiuue# to secure Pateuts in the Unit ed States; also in Great Britain, France, aud other foreign countries. Caveats. Specifications, Bond#, Alignment#,and all Papers or Drawiug* for Patents, executed on liberal terms, aud with despatch. Re searches made iuto American or Foreign works, to determine the validity or utility of Pateuts or Inven tion#—aud legal or other advice rendered in all mat M»r* touching the same, l opie* of the claims of auy Patent furnished bv remitting One Dollar. Assign ments recorded at Washington. The Agency is uot only the largest in New Eng land. but through it inveutors have advautag a for •©curing Patents, of ascertaining the patentability ot inventions, unsurpassed by, if not immeasurably su perior to. any which can be offered them elsewhere. The Testimonials below given prove that none is MOKE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE thau the subscriber; and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES AND ABILITY, ho would add that he has abundant reason to believe, aud cau prove, that at no other office of the kiud are the charges for professional services so moderate The iuuneuse practice of the subscriber during twen-y tyyear* past, has enabled him to accumulate a vast collection of specifications aud official decisions rela tive to patents. These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechanical works,aud full accouuts of patents grant ed iu the United States and Europe, rende him able, beyoud question, to offer superior facilities for ob taining patents. All necessity ot a tourney to Washington, to pro cure a patent, and the usual great delay there, aro here saved inventors. TKSTIMONIALft. "I regard Mr Eddy as one of the most capable an4 tnrcettful practitioners with whom I have had offi cial intercourse." CHARLES MASON, Commissioner of Patents. "I have no hesitation in assuring Inventors that they cannot employ a person more competent and trust wort kg. and more capable of putting their ap plication iu a form to secure for them an early aud favorable consideration at the Patent Office.” EDMUND BURKE. Late Commissioner of Patent*. “Mr. R II. Eddy has made for me THIRTEEN ap plications, on all but onk of which pateuts have been granted, and that is now pending. Such unmistak able proof of great talent and ability on his part leads me to recommend all inventors to apply to him to procure their patents, as they mar be sure ot hav iug the most faithful attention bestowed on their oases, and at very reasonable charge* ’’ JOHN TAGGART Dnringeight months, the subscriber, iu course of his large practice, made on twice rejected applica tions.
