ITEMS ron FARmERs.-We know
of a farmer in the State Of New
York and a good farmer he is too,
who neither neglects his farm nor
his garden, in the latter of which,
when examined, he had growing, in
fine perfection, patches of turnips,
carrots, parsnips, oats, cabbages, on
ions, peas, beans, satisfy, lettuce,
sweet, pop corn, potatoes, pump
kins, squashes, tomatoes, egg
plants, asparagus, pie-plant, cur
rants, raspberries, white black ber-
ries, plums, cherries, apples, pears,
and abundance of other vegetable
productions, both ornamental and
useful. Every farmer should have
a well cultivated kitchen garden !;
and for the pleasure and comfort of
his wife and daughter, front-yard
neatly decorated with flowers and
shade trees. About such premises,
on well cultivated farm, every
thing looks like thrift and comfort.

A Massachusetts paper says that the
heavy vote given for the prohibitory
Liquor Law Of Vermont was owing
to the Infamous quality Of the liquor
sold in the State. The editor OF
that paper should know that large
majority of the Freemen of Vermont
are intelligent Farmers, and know
that the die-stuffs sold in Vermont,
as liquor, was principally nadnutdc-
tured in Massachusetts. The
height of the Sugar Maple, when
full grown, reaches from fifty to a
hundred feet. The amount of Ma
pie Sugar, IN the U. S. according
TO the census returns, was, in each
of the following States, per annum,
thus: Maine, 1892, 427 lbs; Yer

Indiana, 2,92l,6SS. According to
her territory Vermont goes far ahead
Of her sister States in the amount
and quality of her maple sugar.

General News summary.

In Springfield there was very heavy
thunder shower. on Sunday afternoon, the
rain pouring down in torrents for long
time, accompanied by vivid lightning and a
high wind. Much damage was done to the
highways and gardens by the floods of water,
and cellars were also filed. The dam of
Rumrill Shumway was partially destroyed,
and part of the wall Of their new factory
undermined. Trees were broken and blown
down by the wind, and the corn was pros
trated. The house occupied by P. I. Bart
lett was struck by lightning, but not essen
tally injured. There was also an explosion
in Rev. DR.. Osgood's meeting house, which
gave slight shock to several persons, and
lett, as we learn frem the Republican, rather
inappropriate sulphuric scent about the sane
tuary. Several other slight shocks were felt
in difterents parts of the city, and two trees
were struck.
During thunder storm on Thursday
afternoon last week, yoke of oxen and COW
belonging to Mr.. jeremiah X. Adams, of Lis
bon Ct, were killed by Lightning They
were standing under shade tree in the pas
ture. Only few minutes after the discovery
OF the dead animals had been made, three
more, all Of them COWS, were found killed in
neighboring pasture, about half mile dis
tant. These last belonged to resident of
Canterbury.

ton Of rhe road with some man or men who
would agree to take good part of the pay in
stock or bonds of the company. Jew sub
scriptions to the stock would be obtained
from farmers and others along the line Of the
road-and then the work of construction.
would commence and proceed-stocl or bonds
being sold or hypothecated both by contract
ors and directors as fast as was necessary to
meet expenditures. Thus, in the case of
many railroads, almost the whole fabric was
built upon credit; and it is still sustained by
credit In short, the railroad system in the
United States is, to large extent, grand
system of running in debt. 1t is fortunate,
all things considered that the delusion has at
length been broken because, the longer it
continued, the more disastrous would be its
results.
As the plentifulness of money greatly ag
urayated the railroad mania, so the railroad
mania has done much towards producing the
stringency in the money market which has
prevailed for year past. Either directly or
Indirectly, railroads, for some time past, have
bid high for money, and have wanted all that
could be raised. Thus the market price of
money, or rather the market rate of interest,
has been much enhanced. The evil has gone
SO far that it is likely to be its own cure.
Most railroad securities are now unavailable
as basis Of bank loans, and, consequently,
those who hold them in large amounts are in
bad fix. Several failures have occurred, OF
persons so situated. Inconvenience and dis
tress will result to others. Many railroads.
in process of construction, will doubtless be
obliged to suspend operations for want of
means. In short, we have reached crisis In
this department of Industry" which must
be met and overcome, ere the business OF rail
road building can proceed much farther-N.
