ESSEX COUNTY.
There is much sickness prevailing at
Island Pond, scarlet fever being the pre-
vailing disease.

There are sixteen towns in Essex

TAYING NoN-REsIDENTs.- Mont.
pelier Journal says:
THE papers report that in the case OF
the State of Vermont and others, appel
lants, VS. Ed ward Blake and others, APP
pellees, involving the right of the State
to tax nonresident owners of railroad
shares, the Supreme Court has affirmed
the decision of the Court below, which
was in favor of the defendants This is
true in terms, and yet there are some cir
cumstances attending that decision which
might with propriety be mentioned. The
rule in the Supreme Court we understand
to be, that if the court is equally divided
the judgment of the court below is af-
tirmed. In this case the judgment was
affirmed by an equal division of the
court. Judge Nelson decided the case in
the Circuit Court, and made one of the
number which sustained the decision in
the Supreme Court. Excluding him, the
decision would have been reversed, four
to three. So it may be seen that impor-
tant legal results, as well as others, hang
upon very slender threads.

ing, Vt, Dec. 5, 1890. Three of his bro
theirs were Baptist ministers, Jonathan,
Ezra and James The first was we'll known
in New England as pastor at Cavendi~h,
Vt, and at Worcester, Mass. After 1882
he became more widely known as for n
time the corresponding secretary of the
American Baptist Home Mission Society,
and then President of Granville College,
now Denison University, Ohio. Eliab
Going, after brief student life at Middle
bury, Academy, n Y, commenced his
ministry at Rushford, n. Y, about 1920
He was pastor of several churches in diff
ferent States, and for a year or two q
missionary among the Seneca Indians
His labors, extended through nearly a
half-century, indicated a streng love for
of men.

To be satisfied that these waters contain

almost any vegetable astringent. IT,

TALES OF THE LIVING AGE.-A house
of cards, by Mrs. Cashel Hoey. Price
10 cents.
This story is by new writer, but IL
felicitous in style, and has very great in.
terest in character and plot. The London
Review says: "a new novel, written by
an unknown author, will always excite a
certain amount of interest in the readers
mind. There is no knowing what may be
in store for him. It is somewhat like an
investment in mining shares-the chances
are thousand to one against receiving
any return, but then the one in the
thousand is fortunate indeed. We con-
fess to having opened these volumes with
despairing resignation, but before we
closed them, we found we had drawn a
prize. X We shall look
with great interest for another novel from
Mrs. Cashel Hoey's pen"
The foregoing was first published in
this country in Littelrs Living Age, a
magazine issued once a week, and con-
tanning the best stories, reviews, criti-
cisms, poetry, scientific, biographical, po'
litical and other articles, gathered from
the entire body of foreign periodical lit

PoULTNEY-Th Bulletin of last week
gives the following relative to the new
hotel proprietor at Poultney
A correspondent of the Elmira Daily
Advertiser writing from Towanda, Pa,
says:
I'D. B. Bartlett, of the Means House,
has leased large hotel in Poultney, Vt,
and will remove to that place some time
next month. Mr.. B. understands keeping
hotel, and we congratulate the citizens
Of Poultney, and travellers in the Green
Mountain State generally, on their good
fortune in getting him.
We have heard no name suggested for
the new Hotel, and hence take the liberty
of suggesting that it be called the 'Stan-
ley House., in honor of man to whose
genius, taste and enterprise, Poultney is
indebted as much if not more than to any
other. He built the house in the days of
his prosperity, and it is due him that
his name be associated with some per-
manent institution of Poultney.
We most cordially agree with the sug-
gestion relative to the name to be given
the new hotel, for Poultney is indebted to
Hon. Henry Stanley for its beautiful
Main Street, and for many other improve
ments which have promoted the interests
Of the town and largely contributed TO
its prosperity. A debt of gratitude at
least is due from the people of Poultney
to Henry Stanley, and they should honor
his name by this recognition in calling
their new hotel the STANLEY House"

BRANDON the Sc lson for making
maple sugar approaches, the farmers in
this vicinity are making preparations to
take advantage of the recent rise in the
price of sugar, and make our own forest,
and orchards yield as much as possible to
supply us With this necessary article foI
the year to come. The present weather
is regarded as rather unfavorable for max.
ing much sugar, but we are hoping for a
change.
We are glad to see such marked i'm
provement in the income returns OF our
government for the year 1868. Whether
/ they have been compelled to make them
more faithful than heretofore, and wheth.
er the generality of our merchants have
done so much better. we are unable tc
say. The sales reported exceed that OF
former years by nearly all our merchants
and tradesmen. One of our grocers who
keeps groceries andsprovisions only, re
! ports sales of over $4,000 for the year
: 1868, and some of our firms report sales
of over $4,000. Were it not for the
small profits made, they ought to be get
ting wealthy. One man reports an in.
come of over $4,000
Among the applicants for the As.
SCISSORS Office in the LIST District of Yer
mont, we think the people Of Brandon
will bear witness to the faithfulness of Z
j. Ormsbee, to the Government Though
we have not heard that he is candidate
for the Office, and presume he is not, vet
we are sure the Government might GER
tainly 60 farther and fare much worse
than in the choice of Capt. Ormsbee for
Assessor. Many of our people have come
in with blanks in their hands, sure that
their income was below the $1,000 ex-
empt, and have gone out with surprise on
their countenance that they had received
over $4,000 during the year, and were
owing "Uncle Sam" from $50 to 800.
Were our Listers as faithful as the. Assis-
tant Assessor, our next list will show an
increase Of over 100 per cent. from the
list of 1868. One man who reports to the
listers 1000, gives to the Assessor 81, 900,
and others in still greater proportion. We
hope to see . change In this respect the
coming spring, q We have q board Of

The Great Uprising.

Although by no means sure,
the prospects of the success OF
the Conservative ticket are
bright and encouraging.-
There is a great uprising of
the people of Virginia. 1t is
an uprising which inspires the
Conservatives with hope, and
fills the Radicals with fear. =
There is no doubt but that the
interest and enthusiasm mani
tested by the Conservatives in
the success of their ticket, is
much greater and more uni
versal than was anticipated or
or looked for six yes three
weeks ago. Ever since the
commencement of registration
the Conservatives have shaken
off the lethargy with which 50
many of them were afflicted,
and many who short time
ago were apparently Indifferent
are now wide awake and hard
at work. There never was a
time when the Virginians were
more thoroughly aroused
Every day enlists new recruits,
and adds able bodied, hard
working men to the Conserva-
tive ranks. Keep up the -ex-
element. Let us march to
the ballot-box on the 9Th OF
July shoulder to shoulder, and
in unbroken line. If we bring
out our forces, bring them into
active duty, giving to every
man & duty to perform and a
place to keep, success is sure
and the Radical troops will be
driven in dismay from the
field. Fall in then, every
man must march.
