Women'b Rights in VsnifONr. The following Is an advertisement which we clip from the Rut land Herald: "I aorbid anr one in the State of Vermont marry ing Joseph Trunibly, ol Chittenden, Vormont, to Hiss Sophia 1'e.ky, ot Brandon, Vermont, for doing engaged to some onu else the second time. . . ' "Jcxia Goosoir. "Brandon, March 80, 1866." Julia's "keerd" is a little muddled in its coin rosifcon, since it Is impossible to tell whether it is the wicked Joseph or the fair Sophia who has been engaced to "some one else the second time," but by her boldness in sticking up for her rights, Julia has set an example to all the race ot marriageable girls, which, we suggest, it would not be a bad idea for tbem to follow. If every tilted girl will reBent her wroners in this way, the effect will be wondertully conducive of moral and social reform. It is lar better than Miss Harris' plan ol letting daylicht into the bowels of her lover, and much preferable to cold "piscn," to w hich so many resort as a balm for love's ills.

It has been supposed by some persons that if Mr. Foster is re-elected Senator he can hold his position as presiding officer of the Senate nnd acting Vice-President right over until another Vice-President is elected by the people. This blunder is exposed in a letter to the Hartford 2'rtss: "Mr. Foetcr.s Senatorship expires on the 3d of March, 18t7, and he is acting Vice-President only so long as the Senate continues him as its presiding oiliccr. It is the immemorial usage of the Senate to keep itself in a continuous staie of organization. It never permits itself to take the risk of an organization after a new Con gress meets it does so beforehand. For in- stance, at 12 o'clock, March 4 (the ieeal expira tion ot March 3), the presiding otliccr announces that the region has expired. A moment, alter (il a usual the Senate has an extra session) the new presiding officer raps his gavel and calls the new Senate to order." An Aggravated Cash op Suspension.

Afterwards the pocket-book was lound, and JShultz proved innocent. He is a returned sol dier, aud has commenced proceedings ngainst his persecutors. A Prolific Cow. Mr. J. W.
