Failure OF the Cooperative Store System
at TrOV. N. ".

The system of cooperative grocery and pro-
vision stores which was introduced here about
two wears ago by number of mechanics,
mostly iron-moulders, has finally collapsed.
Two family grocery stores were established one
in the Manufacturers Bank building, in the
upper part of the city, and The other on the cor
ner of Fourth and Ida streets, for the accommo-
dation of the downtown customers. Each store
has been managed by an. agent chosen by a
Board of Directors, representing and acting for
the stockholders. The first year the stores were
in operation the stockholders realized small
dividends from their investments, but, from
various causes the investments ceased TO be
sources of revenue some time since.
On Monday evening last, meeting OF the
Board OF Directors was held, for the purpose of
examining into the financial condition OF the
system, and hearing the reports OF the agents In
charge of the stores. The financial returns were
found not 10 be of very encouraging character,
and after general interchange of sentiment, II
was partly agreed to settle up the business, aud
close the stores. The amount of indebtedness
reported from both stores is in the neighbor
hood of S2500-which amount, or so much
thereof as may remain unpaid after the out

ports which his pilots must have carried back.
AS the Gettysburg steamed out the harbor the
Admiral ordered sOundings to be taken, and
made many inquiries as to the depth OF the
water, and went so far as to ask the pilot If
there was sufficient depth of water for a moni-
tor at certain point, The probabilities, there
fore, are that the quiet fun Of the Admiral, in
playing upon the apprehensions of nervous
Nassau pilot, has, ere this, set ahoat first-class
sensation in the small world OF Nassau.
SAFETY OF THE FRIGATE LANCASTER.
The Gettysburg confirms the welcome intelli
geLce OF the safety OF the United States irigate
Lancaster, about which there have been so
many anxious apprehensiOns, owing to the very
long time which ELAPSED after she left San
Francisco, in June last, before any tidings were
had from her. The Lancaster has had q tedious
time Of 1t, but has escaped any disaster what
ever, except detention from stress of weather
and the fact of her engines being out of repair.
She was on this coast during the recent heavy
westerly gales, and was blown Oft and actually
forced back to Nassau, where the Gettysburg

WASHINGTON, February IL. - Rear-Admiral
K. Fletcher, commanding the North Pacific

We puhlsh in full the act to enable sundry towns
to aid in the construction Of the Montpelier st.
Johnsbury and Essex County Railroad. There were
three acts passed Of the character, subscribing
the interests of large sections Of the State--the
Central and North Eastern sections, and the coun-
ties Of Windsor, Rutland and Bennington. II is
said that the Supreme Court Of the L. $. has al
ready affirmed the validity Of such actsi and If So
the towns legally pledge their credit under them
still we think there was mistake in not requiring
the towns to act municipalities in regular public
meetings but o. cour.e preserving that feature OF
each act which requires the vote of a majority Of
the freemen and OF the grand list to bind a town
The public meeting where all can be heard is the
farest and therefore think the best for those in
terestcd in the proposed railroads. We have been
informed that the directors Of the Montpelier St
Johnsbury road hope to raise the necessary capital
without resortiug to this act If it can be done,
that is the best way.

The TROUBLE IN MARYLAND situation
in Maryland, for which the interposition of Con-

When the Union men were IN power during the
rebellion, they neglected to do anything toward
bringing colored Unionists to the polls, so that
when the rebels returned, they, with the aid Of a
weakened faction, resumed political control of
the State, which they hope to make permanent by
an unjust exercise of their power. The Republic
cans now call ON the General Government TO in

ground Of " guaranHng a republican form of

This was our first opportunity Of looking in up
on the legislature since the reconstruction of the

in exterior and interior arrangement, In the per-
sonnei Of the legislature the change from the past

WoOL.-The Boston CultivatOr says:
We are informed by one Of the most successful
manufacturers of wooden goods in Ware, Mass,
that he is troubled to get the grade ofwool he wants
that wool Is produced by the Silesian Merinoes.
The weight Of the fleece, he stated is increased by
crossing this breed with the Saxon Merinoes, while
the quality is not impaired. We throw out this
hint or suggestion for the consideration of those
gagged in sheep-husbandry, as it comes from prac-
teal and very successful manufacturer of variety
of wooden goods. lie also informed that he
bought lot Of 10000 lbs Of Ohio wool, three years
clip, for GO cts. per b., about thirds OF which
the holder had refused Sll0 per h., and the other
third 20 cts. This fact is given, not as solitary
one, but rather of many of a similar kind in
laton to marketing farm products, that might be
given, most of which will, however suggest them
selves TO rural readers. Such experiences should
serve to teach and fix in the minds of those who
have farm products sell, the Importance of nick
ing the time, lest the opportunity shall slip from
them unimproyed. 1t is very important to know
ichcn as well as whert and ichon sell the prod
ucts of the farm, whether wool, dairy, grain, fruit
OF beef, mutton, and live stock.

TEA.-Soe new advertisement of The Great
American Tea Company" We have no purpose to
cheat single reader, harm the grocers all around
us, but simply to state the truth. On Thursday
last Judah II. Round, Esq, of Tiumouth, came in
to our office and informed US that since May 1866,
he had made up orders for the ea-clubs supplied
by him in his neighborhood from this Tea Company,
and that teas and prices were entirely satisfactory
This is testimonywe cannot reject. At the same
time we must add that two of our Montpelier gro
GERS have given us what they suppose be the true
explanation of the cheapness of these teas and tits
that this Company buys in cargoes Of damaged teas
at low figure, sorts them repacks them, and sells
them as good teas whereas the Company claims
that imports its teas direct from China and Japan
and saves the profits of sundry middle men. Be-
tween these two theories shall not undertake to
decide. The material point is, the cheap teas
goodl Mr.. Round says they are, and his customers
say they 1t strikes us that the way to settle
the question is to try them.
