A Mokumkst to Bisnor Hopkins. Last week Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Parker, and Mrs.

Edward Wheeler, as a committee from the congre gation of St. Paul's church, Tergennes, brought op to the Rev. J. H. Hopkins, jr the generous sunt of $120.75, as the contritution of that parish towards the monument now in process of erection to the memory of the late Bishop Hopkins.

The monument, it is expected, will be completed soma time next season. The monument is to consist of a cross twelve feet high, four feet wide at the arms, and rest ing on three granite steps, esch one foot in height, so that the whole will stand fifteen feet above the ground. The cross is of the ancient Celtic pattern, the strongest and most beautiful for crosses of stone, the arms being supported by a circular crown, while four large piercings give ightness of effect with strength of con structios. On the eastern face, there is the de scending dove at the intersection of the cross; the monogram of the word JESUS above, of the word CflRISr below, and the Alpha and Omega on either side. Outside of these, on the four arms of the cross itself, are cirved, in high re lief, the Twelve Apostles, full, length, three on each arm, the sevenfold rays from the dove being in the background behind them, signifying that their spiritual power was of the Holy Spirit, On the shaft of the cross below, is seen the Pastoral Staff of the late Bishop, grasped by his left band, and with its crook turned outwards.

The sevenfold rays from above are on the background here also, showing that the spiritual power of the Bishops of the Holy Catholic Church now; is from the Holy Spirit through the Apostles. Stars of various sixes are scattered on either side of the Pastoral Staff, in allusion to the declaration that they who turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars for ever and ever," and to that other saying, that one star differeth from another star in glory." On the western face the designs are simpler, refer ring to the deceased as a man. At the intersection is the monogram of his initials, J. II. In the four arms, in circular panels, are four symbols of his effise, the mitre above, the crossed keys below, the right hand of blessing and the crook on either side.

On the shaft is a stem, with buds and leaves, indicating precisely the number and relationship of all the Bishop's descendants at the time of this death, the eight steps on which ft rests indicating his departure in the eiah deoade of his life. On either tide or edge of the cross is carved a vine running un broken from the bottom to the top, with leaves. tendrils and bunches of grapes. The brief in scription will be upon the eastern face of the nppsr of the three granite steps. The top of the cross is gabled, with a triple moulding at the ridge, and ribbed and pointed leaves overlap ping each other down tither slepe.

The Trustees of the Vermont Episcopal Insti tute have set apart a suitable piece of ground for a cemetery plot, nearly half way between the house in which the Bishop resided daring the last twenty-seven years of his life, and the In stitcte which he founded, and whioh will be vis ible through an opening in the trees that surround the place with their sequestering shade. The wall enolosing the plot about 40 feet by 21 feet in extent is already built, together with the foundation for the monument, which will stand in the centre. When all the preparations are complete, the ground will be duly consecrat ed by the Bishop of the Diocese, and the remains of the departed Bishop will be transferred from their present temporary resting plaoe to this their permanent home. The monument will be visible from the road in driving out to the Institute, and will add one more to the many objeots of interest in that di rection. It is now estimated that the English crop of wheat will fall short of that of last year by nearly six millions of bushels.

One of the conse quences of this short crop will be a great demand in England for American wheat and flour, and corresponding benefit to our farmers by the advance in prices which is likely to follow. City of Burlington. BOABD Or ALDERMEN. Monday, Oct. 10th.

10. 1870, To the Editor of the Free Preta Ir Timet Saturday and Monday are common! pretty quiet days at the capitol, and though both Hooaea were in session, not much business was accomplished on Saturday or to-day. Half a doien bills have been introduced in the Senate and twenty odd in the House, thus far. I Of these the most important is one introduced by Judge Kellogg of Benson, for a railroad law. It provides that anj number of not less than twenty-fire, may form a railroad com pany, with not less than $10,000 of stock for every mile of road to be built by them, $1,000 of which must be subscribed and ten per cent paid thereon in good faith before they can organise and may build a road anywhero in the State, except upon or across the streets in any city or incorporated village, for which the assent of the city or vilhge corporation is necessary.

Such acts exists in several States, and probably such an one in this State would save some of the expense of legislation on special charters. On the other hand, it has been hitherto the policy of the State to keep a close watch on all snoh grants of extraordinary powers as are embodied in railroad charters, and to grant them only by special enactment. The subjeot will evidently excite considerable discussion before the cession is over. You have noticed, doubtless, the composition of the House The important chairmanship of the judiciary committee, I understand to have been tendered to Mr. Kellogg of Benson, and declined by him, cn account of his health.

Mr. Wood of Fairhaven to whom the chairmanship of that committee has fallen, was second on the same committee last year. Mr. Saf-ford of Hartford, retains his position of lastyearjat the head of the railroad committee. Mr.

Hinckly of Chelsea, is chairman of the committee on claims. Mr. Carlcton of Waitefield, a graduate of the University, is chairman of the committee on education; Mr. Slade of Middlebury, is at the head of the important commit lea of ways and meiDB Mr. Oront of Barton, of elections Mr.

Barnes of Furrisburgh, of the general committee; Mr. Drew of South Burlington, of agriculture Mr. Isham of St. George, of public buildings, Other Chittendsn County members are placed Dr. Carpenter of Burlington, on the ways and means; Mr.

Whittemore of Milton, on the education committee; Mr. Stevens of Colchester, on the grand list Mr. Jones of Rich mond on the committee on elections and also cn the grand list Mr. Bites of Huntington on the military committee Mr. Brigham of Essex, on town lines Mr.

Partch of Uinesburgh, on the distributing committes, and Mr. Briggs of Bol ton on the general committee. Yours, Tus watering trough that has been placed south of the city market, on Main street, will prove a great public convenience. Tbs Grand List. The attention of the Legislature was called by Governor Stewart, in his message, to no subject more important and perhaps none more difficult than that of our basis of taxation.

That some- thing must be done to remedy the evils of our present system is abundantly apparent. A system under which farming lands in one town can go into the list at four dollars an acre, and in another town in the same county at one hundred and ninety dollars an aore nnder which the stock of one and the same bank goes into the list of one town at fourteen dollars a share, and into the list cf another town at forty dollars a share, is no longer defensible by anybody. The inequalities of taxation and injustice under the existing method, are simply outrageous. It is for the assembled wisdom of our 8tate to find a remedy. Cencerning this matter we may have some suggestions to offer hereafter.

Tub: Clinton County (N. Agricultural So eiety closed its annual Fair, at Pittsburgh, on Friday last. The two last days being fair the attendance was much larger than at first, and the total receipts of the Society were larger than at any previous Fair. The whole number of entries was about 700 and the exhibition was the beat ever made in Clinton County. The annual address was delivered on Thursday afternoon by D.

a McMastere, of Pittsburgh. The premium list was read on Friday, and in the afternoon of that day there was some smart trotting on the course. Four teams were entered for the double-team race prize $50 but the track not being wide enough for all at once, they ran in pairs. There has hardly been a more exoiting race on the Piattsburgh course than was this the bay team of W. W.

A remarkable meteor was seen in the northern heavens on the morning of Sunday. October Oth, at about eight minutes before seven. It appeared about midway between Arcturua and the Dipper, passing east through an are of about 10 decrees, parallel with the horiun and although illuminated with the bright light of the full moon, it flashed out with a brilliancy five or six times greater than the brightest star. It disappeared nearly under the handle of the Dipper and at a distance from it or about 10 degrees. The most remarkable eireumstanee attending the phenomenon, however, was the explosion immediately preceding its disappearance, which so nearly resembled that of a rocket that it was for some minutes apposed to be such by the observer.

No sound, however, was heard attending the explosion, and it is probable that owing to the day and the hear ether parties easy have witnessed it. a Cable JYcw8. A BATTLE IMMINENT NEAR TOCRY.
