Report Of the Secretary Of the Treas

The report of the Secretary OF the
Treasury has some very strong points
The promised reduction of the national
debt to the extent of City millions OF dol
lara next year will be as gratifying to the
people as was the large decrease during
the past twelve months. But Mr.. Bout
wells policy in this regard has already
been so thoroughly discussed that we
need not dwell upon it now. The recon-
mendations for amendments to the Loan
act will more properly come up for dis
QUESTION when Congress is considering
these questions.
Mr.. Boutwel,s remarks in regard to
the uses of the national banks and the di-
verting of capital from the neighbor-
hoods in which they are located to the
great commercial centers, where it
ia used for speculative purposes.
must please Senator Sprague. This is a
more difficult aud more potent
question than the regulation Of tariffs
and schemes for Protection, and il the
5eoretary OF the Treasury can show Con-
gross how the abuse Is to be corrected, he
will earn the name Of great financial
officer, and perform work second only
In Importance to the payment Of the ma
tional debt and the lessening of the pub.
lie burdens.
The subject most likely to provoke long
and earnest controversy is the recommen-
dation for the continuance of the present
system of taxation. 1t is point upon
which men and parties will differ, and
we cannot more than refer to it now.
The abstract of the Secretary's report
which we print this morning, includes all
it's essential features, and will be fonnd
very interesting and valuable compend.

DANBY.-Died in Dandy, Nov. eSd,
Albert A. Mathewsop, aged about 81
and after an illness of ten weeks. His
disease was the typhoid fever, but being
man of robust constitution, was capable
Of enduring the disease, until at last ma.
ture was obliged to yield. He had al
ways been healthy, and we are informed
that previous to this sickness, he was never
under the care Of physician. He never
employed physician in his family, and
was sick for several days before he yield
ed to medical aid. He was born in Lud-
low, Windham Co., VT, came to Dandy
in 1853, and settled on the Mathew Wing
farm. In 1868 he purchased the George
Rogers farm, upon which he has since re-
sided, being one of the substantial men,
as well as one of the largest landholders
in town. He was prosperous and thrifty
farmer, being noted for industry and fru.
gality, and was also man of intelligence,
high social qualities and of extensive gen.
eral information. Possessed of good ma.
tural abilities, and retentive memory,
he was enabled to treasure up large
amount of historical knowledge, as well
as large fund of other useful informa-
tfon. He was man of considerable pro.
perty, and leaves a widow and seven chill.
dren to mourn his loss. His wife's name
was Harriet Doty, of Wallingford but
one of his children is married. His fune-
raj was attended at the house en- Satur-
day, the Goth, and large circle OF rela-
tives and friends were present. The Rev.
Mr.. Powers of Ludlow, oficiated, who de-
livered very appropriate and interesting
Discourse. based on the 10Th chapter Of st.
Pa ul's 1st Epistle to the Corinthians: GAS
in Adam all die. so in Christ shall all be
made alive" He said there were two
facts embodied in the text, viz: mans
mortality and immortality. The first of
these was self.evident; for it is demon
strated to us every day. The hundreds
of cemeteries all over the land testify to
this fact. All along our valleys. hillsides
and mountain tops, where man has dwelt,
or is still dwelling, there we find the
graves of the dead. It needed no argu-
ment 10 demonstrate. this, fact. In refer
ence to mans Immortality, it was not a
thing of demonstration. We know this
by faith, without which we could do
nothing. Although faith is necessary to
the fact of mans immortali-
ty, yet the speaker endeavored to show
that the bible and nature around US, fur
nished convincing proofs of the fact. We
think he was successful in answering the
question: IF man die, shall he live
again ?" The preacher also very eloquent
" touched upon the all Astounding love of
God, in creating and ruling the universe,
and in showing that His love for us was
greater, even, than parents love could be
for their children. We have never heard
a better sermon from Unfversalist. In
the death of Mr.. Mathewson, the family
loses good husband and father, and the
kind neighbor and friend,
and the sympathy Of all is extended to
the family in their bereavement.

Mr. HALLS Observation-Disclosures
ing the unfavorable weather last evening
a fair audience assembled at the Opera
House to listen to the second lecture OF
Henry Hall, Esq, in the course which he
proposes to deliver during the coming
winter. Mr.. Hall had chosen as the title
of his lecture the very significant and
suggestive one Of "Help Yourself" and
the general scope Of his remarks was to
show the Importance of industry and un.
firing perseverance as means to the
achievement of success in life. He illus.
trated his theme by brief, but highly in.
teresting sketches of the lives of many
eminent men who had risen from poverty
and obscurity to the most honorable and
distinguished positions by their own un-
aided industry and tireless efforts. The
lecture was full of suggestive thought
and valuable counsel, especially for the
young, and we could but wish that q
larger number of this class had availed
themselves of the opportunity to listen to
such wholesome instruction. The coming
lectures of Mr.. Hall promise to be full Of
and valuable information, and
we trust they may meet with generous
reception from the public.

CROPS OF 1S7O.-The rather scanty
harvest of the year was gathered in prime
order weeks and months ago, and the
people have been waiting and expecting
the advent of winter, which seems disin-
cliued to put in its appearance at the usu-
al time.
In this, the southwestern part of the
county, no crop, with the exception of
Indian Corn, can be considered more than
two-thirds of an average crop, and some
will fall short of that. The srecialties of
this town and vicinity are the dairy and
potato. The latter was little more than
half crop, as far less than usual have
been shipped from the stations of this rail-
road go far, and there is not large guam
tity in storehouses and first hands. They
are now worth 20 to rs cents per bushel
with tendency to advance. OF Cheese
and Butter less than usual have been
made. and at their respective prices this
fall, butter making is the most profitable.
With suitable conveniences for setting
the milk, one pound of butter can be
made from twenty-five pounds of milk
through the season, and in the fall and
spring, one pound OF butter from twenty
pounds of milk.
The crop of hay was so light that prices
run up from $15 to $50 per ton. and even
more. Now farmers cannot afford to pay
such prices, and there is no need of it al
experienced farmers have proved thai
eight bushels of corn worth now eigh
dollars) and one ton of hay are fully equa
to two tons of hay in wintering stock o
any kind To obtain the greatest benefi
from corn it should be ground fine, ant
made into pudding. Another good way
is to cut your hay and mix the meal will
it. The writer of this article does not be
lieve that corn cobs ara worth enough t.
pay for grinding. Try this plan, neigh
Dor, if you are short of hay and do no
pay twenty, fifteen, nor even ten dollar
!, ton for hay ifyou can buy corn for on
dollar per bushel. Without having
, thoroughly tested the comparative valu
of Western and home raised corn I an
strongly inclined to prefer the former, a
it appears to me more digestible.
The wonderful crop Of corn raised il
the West this year will serve to keep tn
price low unless the railroad rings take
, in hand to advance freights. H.

EAST WALLINaFoRD.-We have often
wondered why the people of this part OF
the town and immediate vicinity have de-
ferred for SO long time to put bell in
the belfry Of the village church. With
the number of members of the church
and society, and the ample ability for SO
doing, possessed no one of the opinion
that it is inexcusable. If all would con-
tribute to the object SO much needed, the
cost would amount to but q mite for
each, and again there are several. three
of whom, could easily purchase it without
knowing that they had touched their
pockets.
The old and worn out ideas of an hum
dred years ago, especially such as SAVIOR
only of penuriousness, ought to give way
that which would comfort better with
the age in which we live. Since our &C.
quaintance with the true state of affairs
here we have heard expressions of wonder
and surprise at this state of things full

DIED.-In Granville, N. Y, Dec. 2,
Mrs. Sarah A., wife of DR.. M. H. Stteeter,

She was daughter of Mrs. Hiram

Esq, of Hampton, N. Y, at which place
her funeral obsequies were attended on
Sunday, Dec. 4. Size left two daughters
(twins) aged 8 years, too young to realize
their irreparable loss. The estimable sub.
ject of this notice deserves something more
than the passing tribute of newspaper
record. Educated, intelligent and amia-
BILE, she was fitted to adorn any oommun-
ity or circle in which the varying fortunes
of life might place her. But chiefly the
Christian virtues and graces shone con-
spicuously in her life, all too brief, and in
her last painful sickness.

THERE is much interest felt by the i'm
mense German population of this country
in regard to the war between France and
Prussia. Here and there one may be found
who sides with France or feels coolly toward
Prussia, but the bulk of them are heartily
with Fatherland and bitterly hostile to Ma
poleon. In the larger cities the excitement
is intense and monster meetings will be held
to give expression to the prevailing sentiment.
at an impromptu meeting held in Chicago
on Sunday afternoon several thousand dol
lars were raised and put into the hands of
committee to be expended in relief for tie
wounded of the Prussian army. The com>
mite expect to incrase the sum to fifty thou
sand dollars in few DAYS. and they will no
doubt do so. In New York, and elsewhere,
arrangements are being made for holding

follows: Two enterprising men at Burling-
ton, Iowa, have just completed the model of
Q travelling dry goods. and grocery house, in
which the city merchant or his agent can
visit his country customers, conveying to
them full line of goods in place of the usual
samples" and delivering the purchases as
soon as they are selected. The model of the
car was very elaborately made at the Pull
man Palace Car Works, and is quite curi-
osity. 1t shows, in miniature, half section
of q car, as large as Pullman sleeping
coach, fitted up with shelves on the side,
deep drawers on wheels. folding counters for
exhibiting goods, and spacious apartment
under the floor, accessible by trap doors, in
In the center of the car is the cashiers desk,
and at each end are private state-rooms,
sleeping berths, etc. Imagine the ease with
which Chicago merchant will supply his
country customers when this Yankee coutri-
vance comes into use. Having built or char
tered his car, and announced to dealers along
the line of any particular road at what day
he will arrive at the different stations, he
loads it with great stock of goods and sends
it off in charge Of his clerks. At each sta
ton it is switched upon side track, the
buyer drives up his wagon, and in few

THE spat which those two loyal chaps,

letter Patrick alleges Farnsworth was paid
81, 500 for sending his troops over that road,
and that a receipt for that amount is still in

STRANGE OCCURRENCE.-A remarkable
phenomenon occurred recently about two
miles above Lanesboro, on the jefferson road.
A high embankment was building across an
apparently solid swamp, and upon this en-
oankment track was laid, and gravel cars
were running to convey the earth taken from
the deep cut above into the swamp. The
WORK went on, and the superintendent were
rejoicing over the prospect of speedy ter
mlnatlon OF the work. But il was of short
duration: for on coming to work one NOR
ping they found that the track bed upon
which they mad been working SO long and
diligently had sunk out of sight, and that
yawning abyss and few Struggling hill
locks was the reward for their incessant
labor. 1t is the intention of the contractors
to trestle this place, and to hasten on the
work of track-laying as rapidly as circum
stances will permit.-MontroSe Republicans.
