Orleans independent standard. [volume] (Irasburgh, Vt.) 1856-1871, 1869-12-28

The above offers are open to January
next The terms are cash in advance in
all sasss. We have offered no poor publ
cations. We have offered them all cheap.
We make no money on any Of them, but
do lose on two. If any one thinks himself
enable to pay so much for the highest
priced ones we offer, get your neighbor to
20 halves with you on them, but do not
stop the Standard. We are trying to print
good paper, and have the vanity to be-
lieve that we offer the best reading and the
most of it for the money of any paper in
she state, with the exception Of the Mont
pelier Journal and the Burlington Free
Press We have as all can see, and as all
acknowledge, made great Improvements in
the paper the last year, for which we have
made no extra charge, although these inn
provements have cost us heavily and have
added no less than S12 to our weekly bills.
Yet in the face and eyes of these facts we
promise our readers that if they will only
help us 10 more advance paying subscribers,
aad will also pay for their own in advance
we will before another year rolls around
make greater Improvements than any yet
made. We have faith to believe that Or
leans County can and will support big
ger and better paper than she now has, and
at the same price. At any rate we are the
man to risk it if people will pay us in adj
vance and not put us to the cruel expense
of paying an agent three dollars a day t.
collect what is our due and not get fourth
of it then. Come friends, send us money
az fast as your subscriptions expire, speal
good word for us and thus help your
selves. Ifyou can get better paper thar
ours for the same money we ask we shall
not blame you for changing, but do no
change merely for the sake of changing
If we are doing well stand by US; that en-
oourages us to do still better; but do no
stop your paper, that's depressing and free
zss every earnest attempt at well doing.

The BANKING SYsTEM.-The bill in
troduced into congress on Monday to am
end the National Banking system by Mr..
Willard of Vermont provides:
|. That present national banks, and all
banks hereafter organized, shall deposit
with the treasurer of the United States
bonds bearing a rate of interest not larger
than 4! per cent. and payable principal
and interest in coin.
,. That banks shall receive in circulat-
ing notes but 80 per cent. of the par value
in their bonds in coin.
3. That banks now organized, neglect
ing or refusing to deposit the new bonds
for the space of sixty days, shall be pro-
ceeded against as though they had refused
to redeem their circulating notes.
4. That the limitation in the present law
of the amount of circulating notes which
may be issued, is repealed.
5. That greenbacks shall be withdrawn
as fast as the volume of circulating notes
is increased, until greenbacks are worth
par in gold, and after that no greenbacks
received by the treasury are to be reissued.
6. That the secretary of the treasury be
authorized to issue bonds, payable princi-
| pal and interest in coin, with 40 years to
run, which are not to be disposed of at less
than par in coin or greenbacks.
Z. That the proceeds of such bonds are
to be used, first, to withdraw greenbacks,
as provided in the bill; second, to pay the
overdue debt of the government, bearing a
rate of interest as large as 6 per cent, and
third, in the purchase of the $40 bonds.
This bill, in the opinion of several good
fnanciers, has great merit, as it puts the
credit of the country at once upon coin
basis, and at the same time does not reduce
its volume nor increase that volume, while
it reduces the amount of notes which each
bank may circulate in proportion to its de
post of bonds to point where the bond!
will be good gold security for the redemp
ton of the notes, and it must, if allowed t.
go into operation, bring us as rapidly al
the business of the country will warrant t.
currency based on specie. The only val
id objection urged againt this measure j
that it will slightly reduce the profits o
the banks.

If a man wants bottle of whiskey, let
him buy it and take it home like a man,
and not sneak home with a bottle of "Bit-
ters," or Cordial" and pretend that it is
medicine. If he wants a tonic that is some.
thing better than a temporary stimulant, he
should get bottle of Peruvian Syrup, Ian
Iron Tonic that will vitalize the blood

THE TABLETOP MINE DIsAsTER.-Fr
the Scranton pa Daily Republican we
gather some add tional particulars of the
caving in, of an abandoned coal mine near
Hazleton, Pa, On Friday last, by which
two dwelling hoIses were almost instantly
engulphed and tie inmates buried alive:
The first intination of the approaching
danger was given by the dogs, which by
their uneasiness caused man in one house
of the building last to 90 in the pit to get
out of bed and 90 below to see what was
the matter with them, when he saw the
smoke arising and gave the alarm, bywhich
all in that house we're enabled to escape.
Mr.. Swank was the stable boss of the COM
pany, and had been Up and out feeding the
stock. He came home as they began TO
sink He rushed out, lantern in hand and
did his utmost to give an alarm. He then
went in after his children. While in the
| house it sank so fast that he was unable to
escape. After the house had passed out Of
the way of human assistance there were
cries of the most terrific nature from the
entombed, said by those who were near the
abyss to have been most heart rending.-
The houses, as they sank, took fire, and
burned for several hours, when the fire was
got under The hole into which the houses
passed is about one hundred feet in length,
fifty feet wide, and eighty feet deep. The
| tenement in which the Swank family lived
passed in first, the other one Immediately
on top of it. All the persons residing in
the second tenement escaped excepta Miss
Eliza Watterer. young lady fourteen
years old. Miss Watterer was rescued by
the heroism displayed by four noble Eng
lishmen, who volunteered to go into the
pit, from which at the time fire was eman-
ating Miss Watterer was found with 4
large block upon her chest, but is not seri-
ously hurt"

The total earning over expenses in three

almost entirely relied on to maintain dis

REMARKs.-There ere $50 cattle at this market
to-day-200 less than last Tuesday. As was the
case last week the Brighton butchers take the
best Of the oxen. Their presence here usually
excites anticipations Of good trade. Dro7ers
who thought on first landing that the only dan
ger was Of selling too soon, find little later tha.
their customers have disappeared sooner than
their stock, and that their afternoon is all at
once rather lowery. A short supply of Western
cattle increases the demand fer good stock, while
on the other hand the large quantity of dressed
beef in the city market decreases the demand
for ordinary grades of cattle. The decline in
the prices of hides and tallow is also against the
trade in live stock, to which add the fact that
the city meat market is overstocked, and we
have some ofthe reasons for a slow trade to-day
on ordinary stock. Few oxen are sold over
y lie per pound Il - to l2c pays for the
great bulk Of northern oxen, though few are
/ equal to I3c per pound.

OBITU-A.RY L
In Memoriam.

DIED, in Augusta, Georgia, on Sunday, the 9th
inst, at the residence of her parents LAURA
THERESA, daughter of Capt. ERASMUS s., and
Mes TALULA MINIS, aged years and months.
The grave Of the little one takes but small
space, but oh how dark und great shadow it
lnakcS in the household. How gloomy and mys.
erious the pail it casts over the hearts of the
loving and tender parents. Were it not for the
hope of the land Of glory on the thither shore Of
Jordan, how dreary indeed would he that dark
potent reality the valley of the shadow Of death
but there is for the pure and spotiess an immor-
tality beyond the tomb.
The purest flowers of spring are oft the first
Whose spotless petals, pale and droop and die /;
Whose fresh aroma with tho dew exhales,
Waiting its precious incense to the sky.
Tho brightest song bird, when from tropic lands,
From spicy groves. the myrtle and the lime,
Will hush its melodies, and cease to preen
Its golden plumage in colder climo.
The farest star, though late cnthroned on high,
In all its grace Of heavenly majesty,
Too soon will hide its mystic peerless face,
Beneath the troubled heaviness of the sea.
And thou, THERESA lovely, human flower,
Sweet bird of beauty, precious household star
Hast left earth's blooming bcwers-the hearts
that love,
For Heavenly gardens in the realms afar.
