st. Johnsbury, VI. Oct, ~, 1888.

The following statement is from a gentleman
who has of these machines in operation for
some lime, and recommends them highly:
81 have had one of "Mrlsh's Polatoe Cutters
in use, and consider it one Of the most useful ma
chimes ever invented, and think no farmer, who
values the lives of his cattle, his interest
should be without one. They will cut more Pota,
toes in Thin slices in hour than could
cut with n knife in two days l find that potatoes
cut in this machne will boil soft in about half the
time of whole ones, thereby making great saving
of fuel and labor. The machine cuts potatoes,
turnips, cabbage sturnps, (squashes and pumpkins
when cut into quarters with spade) with the same
facility and ease that it does potatoes"
This certfes that we have used Mesh's Veg
etable Gutter for two yaars, and can recommend 1t
to the public as very useful machine, superior TO
any thing Of the kind within our knowledge.

From that speech we make the follow.
ing extract, our limits being TOO con-
tracted to give il entire.
!" Let the Government attend 10 its
own business, and let the People attend
to theirs"
Let the Government take care
that it secures sound currency for
its own use, and lei il leave all the
rest to the States and to the People"
These ominous sentences, MIR. Pre-
sideLt, have been ringing in my ears
ever since they were uttered yesterday
by the member from New York. Let
the Government take care Of itself,
and let the People take care Of them
selves. This is the whole principle
and policy of the Administration, o,
the present most critical moment, and
on this great and all-absorbing ques
ton Of the currency.
Sir, this is an i'll boding announce.
ment. II has nothing of consolation,
Of solace, or of hope in it.
II will carry through all The classes
Of commerce and businesses nothing but
more Encouragement and deeper fears.
And yet il is but repetition. Ii is on.

One Lieutenant, colonel one major,
four captains, nine subal,orns, and one
assistant surgeon, have fallen where
they iought--in the hottest Of the fight
by the rifles of the ierocious Indians.
10 the above number must be added
fifteen other officers, who have fallen,
victims to the unheal,hiness OF the eli.
mate, where il has been their fate to BIZ
employed.
Eieren officers, too have received
wounds, many OF whom yet bear the
missiles that inflicted them about their
persons.
A like proportion ofthe regular rank
aud file have likewise been killed and
wounded, but the precise number can.
not now be ascertalned.
1t may be interesting TO learn,
that the militia force al different times,
which has been mustered into service
OF the United States, for duty in Flori.
da, is about 10000 men, of which mum.
