I. i -1 From our firm union finings Idlings unknown to kings. Then each fhout he lings Federal huzza. Volunteer toaR. May the Vermdntees become as eminent in the arts of peace as they have been glorious in thole cf war.

The fcitival was concluded with continued demon-Rrations of joy. In the evening the ladies of the vicinity honored the youthful part of the company with cheir prefence at a ball. We learn from London papers, that the britilh parliament had determined again to take up the abolition of the african Have trade, notwithflanding all the clamors from the fouthwefiern parts of England, particularly of the Liverpool merchants, whofe fhamcfnl intcreft it is, that this infernal trade fhould be continued to the djfgrace of the prefent century, -and the country that permits it. The advantages of having regular communications front one Hate to another, and from a Rate to another, is a matter too obvious to negd a particular recital: by this means, in cheap and expeditious manner, intelligence is conveyed, and the fentiments of the politician, the Ratefman, the philofopher, the poet, and the divine, univerfally diftufed. ObRrudt the channel to the prefi, and its ufefulnefs is deffroy-ed; impede the circulation of its prod udlions, and ignorance as consequentially follows, as darknefs does the abfence of the fun.

Taking off the Ripend formerly allowed the poRs in Vermont, has totally prevented regular communications between the two offices at Bennington and Windfor, as well as that which formerly exiRed between Vermont and the o-ther Rates, by the way of Albany. By this means difpatches to government are neceffarily detained at the end of the prefent continental poftoflice efiablilh-ment, viz, Albany where, when ourlaR advices left that city, difpatches to his excellency governor Chittenden, (moll probably from congrefs) were detained for want of a governmental poR to bring them on. It is hoped, that the influential ch2raleis fn this Rate will take the matter into their wife confideration, and remedy the evil as foon as circumRances will admit, either by effedtual application to congress, or other-wife. The difpatches abovementioned are fen for, and will be forwarded to, the governor as foon as pof-fible We hear from Lenox, Maffachufetts, that one day IaR week, a young man of the name of Moon, who belonged to Pownal, was killed by the kick of a horfi He received the flroke on the pit of his Romach, which put an inflantancous period to his life. It is thought (fays a paper of the nth ult.) that the prefident of the united Rates will iffue his vrits, convening our federal legislature, immediately on the expiration of the prefent feffion, doling the firR of next month the bufinefs on hand is of fuch a na-, ture as to call for immediate accomplifliment, which will take up more time than can poffibly be found in faid term.

An author, in the Poughlceepfie Journal, treating upon education, recommends the of newspapers into fchools. Thefe, fays he, being compiled of various matter, and always of fgmething attracting to young minds, will not only lead them to read well, but from the variety of their contents, to read each fubjedt with a proper cadence alfo enlighten them in the hiftory of the world, and manners of mankind. Should, however, the propofed tax upon newfpapers take place, the benefit that might ac? crue from thefe publications to the rifing generation, will be entirely loR. A late Hartford paper mentions, that the afiembly of Maffachufetts, ading on truly republican principles, have abolifhed the right of primogeniture, by which in times of ignorance and bigotry, the eldefi fon has received a double portion of the fathers eftate. Ah example worthy of imitation by each member of the enlightened union of America.
