E W.O'b. n of Londonderry, wriling to the Herald recently, eays : "In ppeaking of Vermont's abandoned farms there is a natural tinge of disbonor to our state conveyed to Ihe reader wbo loes not unden-ttnd the true situation of affairs. But as yet, it eeems to me, 'here liaa been no pl.ueible reason for 'hese abandnnment advanced. Sevsral deas have been placed before the public hut they all lack ihe proof. "For Instance, it has been claimed that. as our young men forsake our farms and seek more lucratlve employment in the large towns. they become abandon ed. Now, Mr. E.litor, I do not think it jiiH ln lav all the bleme to our young men, for I oelieve th. ir elders are enti tled tn share, at least. "If thoy wouid invest tbe capitai tbat they are daily eending to the West and South in such a way as tn build up tbe v.llsgesthat have remained etationary 'or half a century there would be no abandoned faima. Already our farmers are eeeing the the folly of Westernfarm mnrtgage, and are repenting in 'eack cloth and ashee.' "By building up these village", the fnrmer would secure a 'home market,' and therebv his produce, wbich is some times valueless would Und a ready mar ket. Besides, there are rich mineral do poaits that could be worked by capitai; there are valuablo water powers tbat could be easily utilized and manufactc ries started. 'But if our people peraist in dolnz as they have done. in eending ihpir money away, Ihere will be aban doned farms. for no one can blame tbe young man for going where there is money and prosperily. The farmers of Vermont must not lay tbe entire cause of these bard timos at the door of the government, fnr tbey themselves are to blame in part."

From n perlectly reltable source this cablegratn was received : "Braz lian Government nroposes 8"parating church from State." Under the Monsrchy the established re liriun was the Riman Calholic, but the Constitutinn guaranteed ihe toleration of other religions so far as the perform ance of worship was concerned, in buildings provlded for the purpose, duc withnut the exterior form of churches.
