Bay The thirteenth annual fair OF
the Chittenden County Agricultural
Society, held at Burlington, Sept Goth
and 2lst, was quite successful. In the
published premium list the name of
Patrick Ryder, the skillful gardener of
Oscar A. Burton, Esq, figures conspic-
uously as having won premiums in
flowers and bouquets, grapes and
choice vegetables. The Times speaks
IN glowing terms of his superb col
lection of grapes and his floral dis
play"
The annual fair of the Franklin
County Agricultural Society at Enos-
burgh Falls last week, we understand,
was gratifying success and was
largely attended from different parts
OF the county. We were unable to be
present and regret that engagements
prevented our hearing the able address
of the Rev. f. II. Sayles, of Enos-
burgh, which was pronounced on
Thursday, the second day of the Fair.

Be5~ The item copied by us from an
exchange last week in regard to the
amount received by the ST. Albums
banks from the Canadian government,
conveyed possibly an erroneous i'm
preston. A fuller and more reliable
statement is given in recent number
of the Burlington Free Press, which we
copy:
The fact is that the Banks lost
$4,000 taken by the raiders. Of
this 100000 was recaptured, placed in
the hands of the Canadian authorities
and afterwards by Counsel and La
mothe was handed back to the raid
ers. This the Canadian government
was legally bound and agreed to re-
store. The amount appropriated by
the Canadian Parliament for this pur-
pose was $4,000 in com. At the
time of its appropriation, in January
last gold was worth $50; but pay
ment was delayed till the Sth day of
April following, when gold had declined
SO that the banks were not able to re-
alize over $50 from their sales. The
consequence was that the ST. Adams
Bank received only about $3l 900 in
currency; the First National Bank re-
ceiyed S27 600 in currency, and the
Franklin County Bank received $50,
600 of its own stolen bills purchased
and returned to that bank by an AGENT
OF the Canadian government, appoint
ed Tor that purpose 1t is currently
reported that those bills were pur-
chased from the agent of the raiders,
IN Montreal at fifteen cents on the
dollar
Mr., T.. A. Sowles, in a letter t. the
n Y. Hera'd on this subject, says;
| am advised that Mr. Seward has
demanded from the British Govern
ment the balance of the money taken
on the occasion of the raid, amount
ing TO over $4,000 TO the st. Adams
Bank and $4,000 to the First Nation
al Bank. The special grounds upon
which it is claimed are, first, that the
contemplated raid was known to GER
tam Canadian officials previous to its
occurrence but not communicated to
the parties who We're afterwards suf-
ferers. Secondly, upon the ground
that after the raid the local authori-
ties in Canada in some instances re-
fused the owners Of the stolen proper
ty the necessary legal assistance to
enable them to secure the same. and
IN other instances secretly afforded
assistance to the fugitiyes IN making
their escape with their pluudcr, in ex-
press violation of the spirit if not the
manifest intent. of the Ashburton
treaty.

AK lNcoRMGmLE GAMBLER. Five
years ago, Major Won Hammersten
was an officer of standing in the Aus
TRAN service, and by Inheritance pos
sessed the rank of Baron Over
whelned with gambling debts, he re-
signed and came to this country. He
obtained a position on McClellan's
stat, then on McDowell's, and was
finally placed in command Of n regi-
ment 4 few days ago he was mus
tered out. He drew seventeen hun
dred dollars of back pay and allow
ances, and went TO New York 4 born
as SO many Of the Austrian
and Prussian army officers are, he
could not resist the temptation TO Try
his luck with so handsome n sum. In
a single night, it is said, he lost the
entire amount. The next morning,
penniless, utterly destitute, and stung
with a sense of his disgrace, this high
born Austrian noble and meritouous
officer enlisted as private in our regu-
lar army, and is now carrying mus
kot.

The Water Question.

We have taken occasion from time to
time TO call the attention of our read
ers to the meagre supply ofpure water
in st. Adams village reminding them
that, in the most favorable seasons
there is not an adequate supply for
ordinary use and business purposes
In the event Of the calamity of fire the
amount that could be obtained readily
would fall far short Of being sufficient
ly serviceable in extinguishing a con
hagration. Even during the drouth
which has recently prevailed, there
has not been a suflicicncy for domes-
tic use and convenience.
Prior to the last session of the Cen
eral Assembly, this water question at
tracted such general attention and
alarm that an act for constructing and
maintaining an aqueduct to furnish the
inhabitants of the Village of St Al
bans with water for domestic and 9th
or purposes was passed in November,
1864, giving The St Adams Aqeduct
Company" the right to hold real and
personal estate to an amount not ex-
ceeding 100000 in value, and empow-
ering them to take for its purposes the
waters of any lake, pond or stream
excepting Fairfield pond, rs might be
deemed most advisable.
With the passage Of this charter,
the matter has apparently subsidized
into oblivion. No action, SO far as
we are informed, has ever been taken
under the charter thus obtained; and
so far as any beneficial results to the
public are concerned, nothing has
been done or attempted, by which the
Village of st. Adams can be furnished
with such an amount of water as its
necessities require, and especially if
the calamity of fire should be visited
upon the thickly settled part Of our
thriving village.
1t has been stated, but with how
much correctness we are unable to de-
termine, that the majority of wells in
the Village of St Adams are filed
with very hard water water which is
strongly impregnated with limestone.
Physicians have claimed that us a san
itary measure the Introduction of pure
water into general use would be very
desirable for the inhabitants of st. Al
bans Village. No more cogent argu-
ment could be employed than this,
and if the facts stated are well found
ed, it ought to have controlling weight
IN determining the necessity of the i'm
mediate introduction into general use
of pure soft water.
We feel justified in calling the at.
tention of our business men to this
question and commencing it to THEN
earnest and immediate notice. The
passage Of legislative act is of no
practical importance unless some ac-
ton under it is taken. 1t is hardly
creditable to the reputation of st. Al
bans for enterprise, thrift and pru
dence, that matter of such moment
should have been suffered to stumble
so long
