BUSINESS seems to be reviving in all parts of the
country. Wool has risen in price and finds a ready
sale. The mechanics are getting more employment
than they have had. There is a good deal of build
ing going on, especially in the cities Rail roads
are in progress, which create demand for labor,
and serve 10 circulate the specie, and "paper rags"
Vermont needs Rail Road to Boston TO enable her
farmers and mechanics to compete with those Of

COLD WATER CELEBRATION.

"The Cold Water Army" had very interesting
celebration in this village SATURDAY last. The
children of both sexes composing this army,
bled at the Chapel in Elliot street, where they
formed into procession. The young Ladies, who
formed an escort to this Army, met at Mr. Skies
Temperance House to The number of &c. Several
young gentlemen went with band of music TO the
house Of Mr. Skies, and escorted the young ladies to
the Chapel; the procession being formed proceeded
thence under the direction Of Col A. J. Hines, as
Chief Marshal, to Main street, passing down to the
bridge over Whet Stone brook, thence up Main
street to the beautiful grove back OF Col Goodhue's
house, where an interesting address was delivered
and appropriate songs were sung by Mr. Cough
The children and the young ladies' carried banners
expressing in significant terms their zeal and deter
mnation to persevere in the good cause till the
triumph Of Temperance rs complete. We believe
that nearly all the children OF the village are en-
rolled in the "Cold Water Army" Our young la
dies show a commendable zeal in the cause, and de-
serve much credit for the aid they are lending in
carrying forward the great work of reform Thanks
are due to those young gentlemen who turned aside
from their labors to escort the ladies' on this occa-
sion. Our only regret is, that larger number had
not volunteered in this agreeable service. While
the young are enlisted in this service while our
young men and young women, and our children,
are thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the Tenn.
perance reform, feel assured that the triumph of
the friends Of temperance draweth nigh. The cause
is good one; il is noble, patriotic phanthropic
cause, and every one, who is friend to his country
or to his race, cannot but wish il success What a
change will come over the community, when every
pmce, where intoxicating liquors is sold, shall be
purged Of that poison What change in society,
when not an individual shall be found ITO put an
enemy to his mouth to steal away his brains /"

THE POLITICAL PRESS.


We like the following language of the
Albany Citizen II speaks our "sentiments
'zactly."-"The political press, above all
others, should ever speak out boldly and
plainly, and utter those sentiments only
which are believed to be honest and just
They will be found 10 the end to be those
best calculated to ensure the triumph of
principle, and most successfully to battle the
corrupt and overcome the designing and dis
honest. The advocates of every cause pro-
TESS to battle for the supremacy of correct
principles and the wisest policy. What bet
ter weapon can they WELD in such warfare
than the keen and all-powerful falchion of
TRUTH? And where can they do more exc
cution than on the firm platform of political
independence
We hope to see the wing press take strong
and decisive grounds upon this point. Their
cause is great, good and Just ONE
They have but to fix their eyes upon the go-
rious prize and keep straight forward in an
undertaking, unflnching course, to triumph
over all opposition, and win aud wear it
Having naught to fear if they but urge their
claims honestly, independently and sincere
ay, they can have nothing to skulk from, and
uone to cringe to. Their path is RIGHT on
WARD their motto EXCELSIOR! Pursue the
one and hold FAST the other, and no earthly
power can prevent the election of HENRY
CLAY, and the supremacy of WING
PRINCIPLES in 1914. "TRUTH is mighty
and WILL prevaH Let truth then be our
weapon and moral independence our great
guiding principle of action, and we can cut
our way through every obstacle to bril-
liant triumph and glorious victoryH
Plain Fdcts-It has been said by some
one, we neither know or care whom, "that
facts are stubborn things" and the follow
ing brief article from the Baltimore Clipper,
neutral paper, clearly demonstrates that
one fact is worth whole volume of frothy
defamation and demagogue sophistry. The
Clipper says:
Now and then we find an editorial con-
demnation of the existing tariff, as ruinous
TO the country, and calculated TO benefit
wealthy monopolists only. And yet IL is
a fact that goods Of every description can
bepurchaSed at a LO,oer price than before thu
Tariff act was passed. Excellent broad
cloth can be purchased at prices varying
from two to six dollars, and other clothing
cheap in proportion. Then there is salt
an article of prime and universal necessity
she duty upon which has been the theme o
many dolefuI Jeremaids, both on the stump
and in the newspapers. The last Peters
burg Intellgencer says salt ''may be found
for sale at the store of worthy Democrat
&c friend of ours, in this town, at 81 81 IL
cents per barrel of go lbs. The salt wa:
manufactured at the Salina Works, New
York, and is as good as the Liverpool salt
which sells at 81 rs and 81 90 per sack o
229 pounds" Now what will be the effect
The foreign salt must come down to The
price of the domestic, or it cannot find, wha
it is obliged to have, a market This is tn,
process by which high duties make low pri
ces-yet there are people who have eyes anc
see not, ears and hear not; minds, but they
will not understand.

Mr.. Samuel G.. Chase, Of Hopkinton, N.
H.. has invented new railroad track which is
considered very material improvement upon
the one now in use. BY this plan the bottom
of the cars will be elevated three ieet above the
level of the base of the road at this elevation
rails supported by crJss and side posts are laid,
and so constructed as to avoid the possibility Of
the cars running off the track or crushing any
one beneath them who may accidentally be in
the way Of their progress. The plan of Mr..
Chase is admirably adapted to sections of the
country where much snow falls, as ii will save
the delay now occasioned by snow-storms, and
the heavy expense OF shoveng it away. In
building new roads upon this pan great ex-
pense will be saved in grading-in many cases
at least $1,000 per mile. Boston Post.
