Our Prize -" Pome.'

Since the issue of our last paper, the
public have been clamorous for the re-
mainder of this thrilling tall so much
so that our Office has been beset by young
and old-in addition to our usual snarl
of loafers-who have tried TO prevail up
on US TO impart TO them the sequel of
this remarkable "pome," or to let them
see it in the original manuscript. But it
has been no 90, we are proof against all
entreaties from this quarter. We have
maintained the most inyiolable secresy,
and shall continue to keep dark. We
will say, however, the most interesting
part Of - Scotchy Bill" is to come yet,
1t increases in interest, and gets quite
tragic; has great many characters in it,
and some Of them, we are sorry to say,
are quite bad; and we are afraid oar Gls-
thor is not beyond reprOach in this par
ticular. But we have many eminent ex-
amples of the bad morals of different wri-
tiers, both living and dead ones. Byron
had bad name. So had Burns. So
has Ned Buntline. And so have authors
of lesser Jriliiancy not SO far off. But
does that 6e;ract one whit from their
power of intellect: By no means.
We have sent to Boston expressly for
some splendid engrayings wherewith to
illustrate this remarkable "pome. =
They have arrived, ard we give them in
this number. They have been procured
at tremendous outlay of money. This
is nothing, however, as we are not TO be
outdone By any of our contemporaries.
We have secured the best talent in Pot.
ton to write expressly for our columns.
The story Is ours, every mite of it.
! Duringthe publication Of this pome,'
We will insert advertisements from Pot.
ton for nothing, and send the STANDARD
free to all Judses-except Judges o
whiskey. But all orders must be accom-
panied with the cash to receive atten
ton.

MANURE MAxIMs. At late meet
ing OF the Farmers Club at the Ameri-
can Institute, Mr.. T. W. Field read u pa
per on manures, in which he said:
The whole subject Of manures may be
stated in this proposition
/. Manure does no, waste 80 long as
it is unfermented or undissoIyed, and
these conditions may be effected by dry
ing or saturation.
,. Fresh manure is unfit for food for
plants.
3. Fermenting nianure, in contact with
inert matter. has the power of neutraliz-
ing vicious properties, such as the fannie
acid of peat, and making it fertilizer.
/. MANURE wastes in two ways-the
escape of gas and the dissolving of it.
soluble salts.
). The creative power of manure
mixed with other substances, is capable
Of multiplying its value many times.
6. The value Of manure to crops is in
proportion to its divisibility through the
.oil. The golden rule of farming should
be small quantities Of manure thoroughly
divided and intermingled with the soil

ST. Louis, March lj.-Late arrivals

quietly as far as known. The estimated
number of votes poIled is from eight to
ten thousand.

" Old Folks Concert"

BY reference TO our advertising col
umns ard to the mammoth posters that
arc by this time well distributed over the
County, it will be seen that there is to be
an old folks Concert at Barton village
on the 2Ith inst. We bespeak for it a
full attendance, and for those who should
attend, a good time generally. That
event is to be the " good time coming
which has been so long spoken OF, and
We doubt not our readers who have so
long been in the slough Of despond' are
happy to think the time is so near at
hand. The singers are to be dressed in
the old fashioned costume. Wonder it
we are to see those big laring bonnets,
and the pulled sleeves, and the three stO-
~ hair comb, and the short WASTED gown
with the band under the arm pits-we
say shall we see all these things again.
They will raise laugh, doubtless, but
people when these were in fashion dress
ed in much better taste and good sense
than they do now.
But let US 90 to the old folks concert
and " we shall see what We shall see.'-
Prot. Moses +. Cheney is to be there
and take the lead, when We will see hin
rs he Is, face to face, and in the glory o
his power. We shall be there Of course
on a free ticket.

R.. r..

Mr.. STANDARD:-I said that in 1858
no western route or survey for railroad
was talked of or thought of by the Rail-
road Company. In 1885, the charter for
the Connecticut and Passumpsic Rivers
Railroad was granted. but no subscrip-
ton for stock or organization was attemp-
ted until 1915. Between 1885 and 1910.
a survey was made of Barton river val
ley, and another, as / have been inform
ed, on or near the eastern route of said
railroad; this is known as Twining's
survey, and the public were informed
that Twining pronounced the Barton riv-
er route impracticable, while the eastern
route was favorable. In 1916, Miller
Fox as engineer of the company made a
survey from White River Junction via
Barton to Derby Line. This survey
was Autographed by the corporation and
circulated through the country, and so
far as the road has been constructed, it
has been substantially on this survey. In
1854, Briggs surveyed what is called the
middle route, and in January, 1856, land
not 1855, as is enormously printed in
your las) Adams was appointed engi-
neer, and surveyed the river route, if this
corporation have ever surveyed it at all.
In 1853 the corporation propose to ex-
tend the road if mean can be obtained for
that object they therefore prepare sub
scription books for stock and present them
to the people with Autographed copy of
Fox's survey. In the book is an express
stipulation, that no part of the subscrip-
ton shall be payable until the whole
road from St. Johnsbury Uia Barton to
Derby Line is put under contract fol
grading. And the line Of survey On the
eompany's map, running directly thro
Barton, via Charleston and into Derby
Line village, showed what the company
meant by the expressions Barton anC
Derby Line, besides the directors, agents
and representatives Of the corporation
then and still do claim that the eastern
route on or near Fox's survey, was til,
route and the only route then talked Of OF
even contemplated. This would seem t.
authorize the statement that so trouble

SCALDED.-We learn tina, on Friday
o. last week. little child. daughter of
Charles ard Harriet Wright, n West

there is to lie select school kept in this

from sixteen to twenty will be allowed to

Frightful Explosion.

\ steam engine of forty-horse power
Was erected at Cambridge Borough a few
months since to be used for mechanical
purposes, and on Friday afternoon last,
an extra amount of steam was made with
n view TO carry some additional machine
" when the boiler exploded with terrific
effect. Quite number of persons were
present, but just previous to the moment
Of explosion they had providenlially been
attracted by an incident to a different
part Of the building from position which
otherwise would doubtless have proved
fatal TO a number of lives. Six OF eight
persons were more or less injured. Mr..
Clancy Warner was seriously bruised
about the head, but hopes are entertained
Of his recovery. The person having
charge of the engine was thrown outside
Of the engine house, which was effectu.
ally destroyed. lie was scalded consid
cr;,bly, though not seriously injured
We are informed that he had recklessly

would be absurd to say the offer was TO
extend the road through the town of Der
by to the north line thereof.
At the time this proposition was put
forth, public act of the Legislature had
given to the corporation for terminus
the scope of two towns, and had required
it to select such line as would be most
advantageous for said road" This act
was accessible to all subscribers, and pre-
sumed to be known to all. Moreover
no no line, course, or way, had then
been determined on farther north than
Barton Under these circumstances how
do the subscribers answer the proposition
on the same paper, as part of the same
document, and Immediately following
their statement of the proposition, they
accept IL thus:
"Now for the purpose of extending
said railroad we, the subscribers, agree
to pay TO said railroad company the sum
of &c" Z" to be expended by the direct
ors in the. extension and construction of
said railroad from St. Johnsbury, ria
Barton to Derby line,provided the under
signed shall not be obliged TO pay" Sec.
till the whole road from St. Johnsbury to
Derby line as aforesaid shall be put un-
der contract for grading" &c.
Now, in place of the word Derby in
the above contract suppose the word .Sa-
lem had been written. Any impartial
man would then say the expressions to
the to,Un of Salem : Salem line : and
the line of Salem ; were equivalent
towns. What distinction is there be-
tween the existing case and the case sup
posed? None save in the names of the
towns. VIII it be said that certain To-
cali:y being known as Derby'line village
therefore that was the point referred to
in the contract? If so why do the sub
scribers accept the offer of the company
as stated By themselves? If they did not
accept it why do they state it in the con-
tract? The fact that they state it implies
an acceptance, in the absence of any ex-
, press rejection thereof If they did not
intend an acceptance, then statement Of
the proposition was not only useless, but
| out of place in the contract, Sit you
) down, take the contract, con it make il
consistent with itself in all its parts, and
! when YOU shall have SO done the result
} will infallibly determine where is Derby
line, within the meaning of the instru
ment. By no other rule can that ques
: ton be determined. To say that Derby
a line means the north line of the town
ship is utterly irreconcilable with tn,
proposition to 60 - to the town of Derby
To say that to 90 to Derby line, mean
/ to go to line, or more properly the line
of the township, makes the whole har
a monious consistent document. There il
= really no north line of Derby. She ha
in fact but one. and that a continuous i'm
