Messys. Stout, Mills g. Temple.-Gents-w
are using three of your American Turbine
Water Wheels, which We have put in
our Mil within the last eighteen MONTHS
We consider them as being the best wheels
in use. We can grind out forty barrels Of
flour per day to each wheel with five foot head
and fall, which is four times the quantity We
could make with any ordinary wheel As
for strength we have tested them thoroughly
having had them stopped several times BY
hard pieces of wood getting in Them, bui
never breaking them in the least In conclu
sion we will say that they fully fill the bill
as represented to.us before purchasing.
Yours truly,

A TeIegraphic AnecdOte-,' Joe Gar
gerry"

A contributor to the Telegrdpher tells this
story: g A decent looking, middle-a aged man
called at my Office one morning when L was
cleaning the battery zines, and wished TO no.
tify his brother in P-that another brother
lay at the point of death at home. His man.
ner plainly invited me to write out a dis
patch at his dictation. but being too be-
wildered as to know which wire went into
which screw cup to act as a scribe, / evaded
his eye, and furnished pens, ink and paper,
over which, with sigh of perplexity as pro-
found as my own, he went at once to work
And such work L almost repented lot hav-
ing spared to him a moment on seeing what
labor he had made of his task. Dickens has
given good picture of the unskilful pen
man in the person of Joe Gargery. MY Gus
toner was much like Joseph in the manage
ment of the quill. He turned up his sleeves
to begin with, and squared himself resolute-
ly at the desk, throwing his left arm far
around the paper, and hanging his head very
much on one side. His eyes scowled sheep
wise at the growing pothooks beneath them,
and his tongue, thrust out to its fullest ex-
tent, followed in its motions those of his
cramped fingers. The hand that grasped the
pen was fist, and its clutch quite disre-
garded the presence of ink, as was made
manifest by the deep stains that soon covered
his fingers, or were communicated to his
face, in the absent-minded pauses incident
to his literary effort. Many fresh pen did
he try, many fair sheet ruin and cast aside
before suited in the result of his toll And
when he was suited, indeed, it was a pleasant
thing to note the look of solid satisfaction, of
exultation, even, show out upon his honest
countenance, in spite of the tear marks down
his cheeks and his watery eyes, as he passed
the scrawl over to me:

By the report of some, and the letters of
carpet bag correspondents, many infer that
the West is all sunny Eden.
No greater mistake could be made. Eve
ry country has its advantages and objections
and it is well to know these or some of
them, when within our power. We have
spoken of the deep rich soil-the vast prairie
the golden fields of corn and wheat, and
the rich return to the husbandman. Now
let us look to some of the negatives.
One of the first perplexities to the emf
grant. especially in the spring, is the
abundance of mud, and it is mud that has
cohesive attraction, too, especially IN Ohio
and Mchigan-genuine affectionate blue
mud. Late in the fall. and during the winter
and early spring, the winds day after day re-
mind YOU of the comforts of coy retreat
among the hills of New England. Society is
mixed in most of the West with generous
discount on old Plymouth rock integrity
Cannot rely upon the word in trade, with
that security you can in New England
There are many sharpers in business and great
care is necessary to favorable result
The instability of society is an ohjectiona-
bic feature. Many buy TO sell again, and
think little of their duty to improve and ele-
vate society Having made their - heap
they are ready to pitch anew. This element
is so great that society is constantly chang
ing.
In very new places schools are few, but
this loss does not long exist. The West; as
a whole, is fast exceIling the East In educa-
tional advantages. Its excellent school
system and State fund establish and sustain
model schools.
Churches are few in the early settlements,
school-houses being used for religious meet
ings.
The staple provisions are cheaper than in
the East-groceries about one-fifth dearer-
Clothing and dry goods one-fifth dearer.
Household furniture from fifty to one hun
dred per ct. dearer. Wood and lumber
dearer
Some swho locate on the great prairies
of Illinois drive their stock two or three
miles to water, or draw it from wells so feet
deep, and their experience - drawer of
water has many sighs in 1t as has the
Buckeye s. newer of wood
Many of the above drawbacks on the West
are permanent: Others are constantly being
modified and In time cease.
Weigh the pros and cons, and if the cons
go up, let those contemplating a Western
home, decide upon their own judgment, and
then summon energy and enterprise to
tain it. Enter upon pioneer life expecting
to meet many trials. Meet them with an
energy that means success, and knows no re-
treat and victory will crown your labors.

Of Bennington and Windsor.
ASSESSMENT OF TAXES
1t is evident to many who have been called
upon to administer our assessment laws that
the burdens of taxation do dot bear equally
upon ali classes of property. This is owing
in part, to the method adopted in making up
the list. In some localities the real, and a
portion Of the personal, estate, is assessed at
about One-half its value: while in others, it
Is represented in the list at its full cash value.
The assessed value of the real and personal
ertate of Vermont was. in 1860. nearly
eighty five millions of dollars, while it's true
value In money, according to the census of
that year, was over two hundred and fifteen
millions. The existing laws require that the
real and personal estate shall be set in the
list at - its true value in money" The
adoption of any other course is un Just, as
well as Illegal. 1t is tie practice, on the
part OF listers in some localities tofle their
lists in the town clerks Office without the
oath prescribed by law. thereby easing their
cOnsciences for any Irregularities in their
mode OF assessing the property set in the
lists. 1t may be well to inquire if a more

The operations of the law providing what

discharged by our States Attorneys, leave
