Both the Woodstock papers Of course
are filled with detailed accounts Of the late
fire there. IT. appears that in one Of the
buildings destroyed, was the tent USED by
the Windsor County Agricultural Society
at their fairs and was Il total loss, 1t was
insured for 1925, Itorpcors also that the
Wiudham Comfy Insurance Co, had Il
ticket of $1,000 in this fire.
The CHr@ion Messenger, (Melhodist, )has
an article on "Church Members at Dance
AID strongly condemns their attendance up
on such places.
The leading articles in the Montpelier
UmchmoR are as usually, those written by
the editor who is at Washington, and a
member of the House of Representatives.
The Patriot wants to know "who owns
the Democracy of Vermont" We should
tell him it was the shareholders, but he is
aiming blows at the COW boy wing Of his
party, lie says the democracy of the
State have become thoroughly disguised
with TIE trcachery and incapacity of the
L. S. Marshall and petitioned for his re-
moval" They want 10 put Stephen Thorn
as in his place, and the Patriot says that
II. f. Stoughton Of this place, favors the
change.
The Green Manhattan Freeman seems to
favor the nomination of ex-governor Fair
banks as the next Republican candidate for
Governor.
The Burlington Sentinel (democratic)
very naturally swallows Judge Redfell,
and affects to be gratiiied that Pennington
was elected speaker instead of Sherman.
All right. If a Republican should be
chosen next president, he will doubtless
have a similar feeling that it was not some
other one who was elected. Such crumbs
of comfort should not be withheld.
The Middlebury Register very justly
commends the patriotism of II. Winter
Davis of Nd, who had the moral courage
to vote for Mr.. Pennington, though from
slave State
The Burlington Free Press ably reviews
Judge Redfeld's John Brown letter, and
thinks it will appear comprehensive enough
to those democrats who, four years ago, be-
walled the Judges aposacy to black Re
pubicanism, that his aposracy was only
skin deep after all, and that on a pinch,
they could rely on him for support in any
probable contingency.
The Burlington Times also reviews and
condemns the same letter. as does also all
of the Republican press which has yet
spoken on it. r
The Rutland Hises1lhas an article headed
--latest from the Seat of War" Illustrated
with a cut of a rooster on his back, and
head cut off. The head rests on copy of
the Rutland Courier and its last words are
d yield" 1t is of course the announce
ment of new postmaster in place of the
editor Of the Courier
The Courier goes in stronger than ever
for Douglas and declares his belief that
Vermont would cast her vote for him
He also lectures some of the postmasters
in his county for allowing the democratic
vote in their towns to dwindle down to
"baker's Dozen" How is it in some towns
where democracy has become entirely ex-
tinct? Andover, for instance, where a
democratic vote has not been cast for years.
The Bennington BapRer has one of the
best outspoken articles we have yet seen on
Judge Redfelds trump. We are strongly
tempted 10 copy from it, but want of space
forbds. Speaking Of the Judges charges
against the northern press, of "abuse of the
entire mass of sIaveholders,' the Banner
pcrtiently asks him fhe should detect
man in the act of stealing his horse, if it
would be abuse to call him a thief"
The St. JohnsJury Cdedonian also re-
views hedheld on slavery, IN very thor
ough manner.
The Bradford Telegraph goes in for ro-
tation in oAiee-had a sweet serenade lately
and wants to find division in the Repub-
lican party.
A writer in tue Irasburg Standard favors
Hon. Erastus Fairbanks for next Governor.
The ST. Adams Messenger goes in for the
election of temperance man for County
Commissioner.
