PEAT IN Notwithstanding the
immense quantities of peat which abound
in various portions of our State, an ex-
change has the following:
In Vermont, peat is abundant as the
geological survey of Professors Hitch
cock and Hager have fully demonstrated.
They say there is not town in the State
that has not a supply OF peat stored up
for future use. The Rev. S. R, Hall has
also devoted much attention to the de-
VeIopment of this important truth. If
not now Important, it is sure to be in
few years more the densely wooded
portions of the State have been so COM
pletely stripped Of forest, that timber and
even fuel is now an expensive article.
Peat in Vermont is not confined to low
lands and valleys or streams. Mr.. Hall
names some of the highest towns in the
State where it is found; and all the rail
roads cross the beds of it, which would
furnish them with far cheaper fuel than
wood or coal. Some of these deposits
are so old and deep that fossil elephants
have been found buried several feet be-
low the present surface.
On the summit of Mansfield mountain.
in the town Of Stowe, Vt, at an eleva
tiOn of 4, 348 feet above the tide there are
beds of peat and sphagnous mess, rapid
ly increasing the quantity of fuel for
future ages.

FATAL ACCIDENr.-We are panied to
learn of the death, by accident. of Mr.. L.
Parker Tenney, formerly of Grafton,
where we believe his parents and friends
still reside, which took place on the eve
ming of the goth of August last, at Nit
tineague, (West Springfeld) Mass. He
was employed in the Spice Factory at
Springfield, and boarded at Mittineague
with Mr.. Samuel D. WOODBURY., and had
missed the $40 passenger train for Nit
tlneague and got upon the engine Of the
night freight to ride over upon that As
the train did not stop at the station, he
attempted to jump from the engine, and
was thrown under the wheels, and both
legs almost severed from the body near
the thighs. He lived but a short time
after his injuries were received. The
Springfield Republican speaks of him as
young man highly respected, and well
known in that city.-Bcllows Falls Times.

The Greeks resident of New York
have organized committee to solicit
aid for the inhabitants of Crete, against
whom the Turks are now making war.
Crete is large island in the Mediter-
ranean, with 100000 inhabitants, of
whom two-thirds are Greeks. The
Turkish governor recently undertook to
deprive them of certain religious and
civil rights conceded several years ago.
and they are fighting to maiatain these
rights, with little hope of success against
superior numbers.

FREEDOM OF THE Press IN THE South.
One OF the best indications OF the great
change wrought by the war in the South
Is the new freedom of the press. Nearly
every Southern State now has one or
more papers, not only decidedly and un-
compromlsingly Union in purpose and
spirit, but most of them sympathizlng in
sentiment with the Republican party of
the North, and several of them as Radi-
cal as any Northern paper. The follow.
ing is an imperfect list of these papers
Daily Post, Memphis, Tenn; Daily
Press and Times, Nashville, Tenn; The
Colored Tennesseean, Nashville, Tenn;
The Daily Tribune, New Orleans, La;
The Loyal Georgian, Augusta, Ga; South
Carolina Leader, Charleston, S. c.; The
Daily American, Savannah, Ca; The Ma
tionalist, Mobile, Ala; The New Nation,
Richmond, Va; The Express, San An.
tonic, Texas; The Daily Times Newbern,
N. c.; The HAD Homer, La; The IN
conditional, Harrison, Tenn.
The Memphis and Nashville papers are
well supported and thriving. The Gal
weston Bulletin looks like living affair.
The Others are not well sustained and it
would be a good thing for Northern
friends of liberty and progress in the
South to give them lift. They are
among the most hopeful means for the
regeneration of the South

Union REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS,
For Memmbers of Congress:
Mileage.


Whether any Congress will choose to 90 away
with the mileage perquistes altogether, as the
present Congress has just disposed OF the mil
itary perqli,itss, is question into which we
Go not now enter. Some means of equating
the expenses of Congressman from Maryland
and California must be found, and it is not
probable that members viii ever consent to
keep an accurate account of their necessary
travelling expenses" To be sure, if the
mileage is allowed greatly to oyerr,m the ex-
penses, and Is estimated in proportion to the
distance by the nearest route, the advantage
Ia obviously in favor of the most remote
States.-and the apportionmenti is as unfair as
If no mileage at all were allowed, in which
case the nearer States would be best off. To
be perfectly just, the mileage should be COM
puted at something reasonably near the actual
expense of the journey, and the salaries
should be raised, if necessary, to make up the
balance uniformly. AS matters stand now,
the United States might about as cheaply
charter steamer to transport California
Congressman, as to pay his mileage.
now intend to press. There is among the
people at home. great desire to know how it
happens that members are allowed more mile
age than they claim or will receive. The
mileage for the Thlrty-eighth Congress
amounts to $1,SS7, 997. Senator Harris of
New York received $S12; Representative
Ancona of Pennsylvania received $320-for
each session. We had supposed Pennsylvania
was nearer than New York to Washington
II Senator Harris could 60 and return Tor
1912, so, we should have supposed, could Mr..
Ancona Such apparent discrepancies the
pubic would be glad to see explained, but es-
pecially the one great discrepancy disclosed by
Mr.. Garfield few days ago, between the
mileage GAINED and received by himself, Mr..
Sclenck, Mr.. Spalding and others. Mr.. Gar
fisid introduced a resolution, directing the
Mllelge Committee OF the House to look into
this matter and report, "and in no case to al
low more mileage to any member than is
claimed by him." Mr.. Order (Dem.) of Ken
lucky, objected that the resolution would do
no good, bu. rather embarrass the Commit
tes." When the resolution afterwards came
up for action, though quorum was present,
only 81 members voted. eff the House takes
no interest in the NATTER" said Mr.. Garfield,
II withdraw my resolution" Tne people are
curious to know how resolution to allow
members only so much as they claim can en-
barrass the Mileage Committee, and with the
premium on gold among the titties and every
thing they eat, drink and wear taxed to pay
the interest on their vast debt, they do not
regard this little matter with the cool indif-
ferencs wnicn seems to have prevailed in the
House. All M be right, but we want to see
clearly for ourselves how these things are
done.
