We trust there is to be no split in the
great democratic party of Vermont, but
the Rutland Courier and Montpelier Ar
gus and Patriot are having tilt of great
dimensions and there are fearful fore
bodings ahead. The Courier don't like
it that the democratic State Convention
is called on Friday-that ominous day |!
1t asks :" is any one to be hung that the
Conventions called on Fridayg' Where
upon the Argus retorts that the day
twas chosen to please Cain"l! The
Courier follows this up with rejoinder,
and apparently both are ready for an
other round. The alarm in the demo-
cratic camp over this hostile demonstra-
ton of their leaders, need not be serious,
IT the contest be only confined to Friday,
but if it extends to the COW boy DAYS
of yore, there is no knowing what con-
vulsions our State may be subjected to,
for the division and subdivision of the
democracy of Vermont is fearful thing
to contemplate.

UTILrrY OF THE BIRDS. The New
York Commercial says the sparrows have
triumphed over the measure worm in
that city and Brooklyn. The shade trees
which, two years ago, were in some To-
calities completely Invested of foliage by
the worms, have this year scarcely been
affected. Here and there tree has suf-
fered, but most of the avenues where
scores Of trees used TO be overrun by
them, and the leaves all eaten away, are
now in full leaf with scarcely worm to
be seen. From the progress the birds
have made, there will probably not be a
solitary worm left next season to mar
the beauty of the vernal season.
1t is no doubt largely due to the aetiv-
ity of the birds, who have not been mo-
Tested as in former years, that the rava-
ges of the canker worms in the orchards
of Massachusetts are perceptibly dimin-
ishing. Let the birds be protected and
encouraged, and they will do what the
farmer and gardener cannot, keep off the
vermin which so often ruin the fruit
crops.

For the Bellows Falls Times
Is it Square?

Is il plumb? Is it perpendicular? Is
It parallel? Is it just? Some high school
teachers have salary of 81 900, for
teaching six hours day, for may be 80
or 40 weeks in year; his capital in
vested, being his education, which (above
common school may have cost $1,000.
Out Of his salary he boards and clothes
himself and pays a poll tax, and decent
ly economical, can lay by 5000, year.
A young physician stopped seven years
in town of 1900 inhabitants, in Yer
mont; his education and equipments it
may be, cost $4,000, as his capital, and
ne boosted when he left the town, that
he had made $4,000 out of its people.
A young farmer must have a capital
of at least 4,500, to equip him decently
for business he must work II hours a
day for 313 days in year, and hours
every Sabbath to take care of his stock
must pay poll tax, farm tax and tax on
his farm stock, and if he is very eco
nomical and fortunate in his operations,
he may lay by 5000 year, and he has
worked more than three hours where the
teacher has one. Now the farmer is the,
basis for the support of all other par
suits in life, as they would all starvea
were it not for his labors. When the.
farmer wishes to have his child educahed
at the high school, what propriety is
there in his paying price that will en-
able the teacher who does not labor scar
near one-third as many hours as the far
mer, to lay by 5000, while the farmer,
laboring more than three times as many
hours, and with capital more than 8eur
times as large can lay by only 5000.

A LITTLE Boy INSTANTLY KILLED
A sad accident occurred in Concord, n. II.
on Sunday, June 9th. A lad named
letter, aged five years, and cousin of
his named Bean from Nottingham. aged
10 years, were together in a chamber of
house examining heavily loaded
musket. The weapon was probably
thought to have been unloaded, for
Bean put the ramrod into the barrel and
went to examine the lock, when the gun
went off, and the rod and the charge hit
young Letter, literally tearing his head
into fragments. The report caused per-
sons to go Immediately to the room,
where Letter lay dead in pool of blood
The grief of Bean can we'll be imagined
The mother of the dead boy was some
two miles from home, where she was one
of company of from forty to fifty per-
sons who were gathered for baptism by
Revs. Me5srs. Smith and Walker. Just
as Mrs. Letter was being led into the
water messenger arrived, telling her
of the terrible death of her son. The
tragic affair caused deep sensation and
cast gloom over the whole town.

FIGHT WITH BURGLAR.-A Cour-

Richardson (Mr. R. being absent from

collar, and at the same time caught hold

went to the window and by her outcries
attracted the attention of two policemen
who repaired to the house, but in the
meantime the villain had beat a retrea,

The CURRENT WoRM.-Mr. Charles
Blaisdell, of Wellesley, Mass, informs
us that ne has been successful in destroy.
ing the current worm and other plant in
sects by the use of Buchan's Carbolic
Acid Soap. The soap for laundry or
common washing purposes contains
much less corboline, the principle DIES.
tructive to insects, than the preparation
sold as Carbolic Plant Protector. The
latter. which we have since tried, we find
to be fatal to the worms when dissolved
in water and sprinkled upon them. We
notice also statement by Rev. DIR. Mar
win of the Boston Daily News, that he
found showering applied to his bushes
cleared them of worms in few minutes
A busting of White HelIebone is also
said to prove effectual, but this is cost
~ and somewhat dangerous poison te
use. The carbolic suds, it is claimed, i
harmless to foliage and person..
As this worm threatens the destruc
ton of our current bushes, we hope thi,
remedy will be carefully tried by thos,
who are unwilling to be deprived of thi
delicious fruit.-N. E. Farmer.

The Fenian Leader O'Nei!.

The Chicago Republican gives the fol-
lowing facts concerning the Fenian Gen,
eral in Chief;
O'Neil is now about thirty-fve years
old. He was born in the town of Dun
cannon, Tyrone county, Ireland, in 1885
and came to America when quite boy.
He received good education, but his
military instincts led him into the Amer
lean army long before the war He ser
we'd for eight years in the, Old Second
Dragons, under Col Robert L. Lee. AT
the breaking out of the rebellion O'Neil
took the Union side, and in command of
mounted infantry company, fought
with Mcclellan from Yorktown to Nal
vern Hill. He also served under Hun
ter at the first Bull Run. After the re-
treat on Harrison's Landing O'Neil was
transferred to the West, and obtained
command of company of cavalry, dis
tinguished himself by several daring
acts, for which he received high COM
mendations from his commanding officers.
He was detailed to drive John Morgan,
the famed guerilla, from Kentucky
This O'Neil accomplished in the Spring
of 1864, receiving the sword of Morgan
upon his surrender in May of that year.
The remainder of the war O'Neil served
under General Thomas, participating in
the battles of Franklin and Nashville.
At the latter place the future Fenian
General was wounded severely, and was
laid up in the hospital at Nashville for
several months. After this he was not
heard of until ono sultry day in the be-
ginning of June, 1865, when the news
come over the wires that Col. O'Neil had
invaded Canada at Fort Erie. Then
came the news of the fight at Ridgeway
in which he severely whipped superior
number of Canadian volunteers. After
accomplishing this feat O'Neil retired on
Fort Erie, where he was again attacked
by the British from Port Colborne. This
force he also thrashed, capturing nearly
two hundred, and compelling the remain
der to flight. On the same night, find
ing that he was not sustained by Gen.
Sweeney, who had the chief command,
O'Neil recrossed the river under the
noses of the British, Col Peacock's three
batteries of artillery and $500 regular
troops, the British officers being hood
winked by weak picket line which was
thrown out by the Fenian leader to COW
er his retreat. In the midst of the Nj
agara the returning Fenians were capt
ured by the Uuited States authorities,
and for that time the movement was at
an end On the retirement of Col Rob-
erts from the Fenian Presidency in 1868
John O'Neil was elected President, and
since then has labored hard for the
movement on Canadian territory.
Hitherto he was considered an able
officer, but his recent capture has pluck
ed his honors from him.

The LIBERTINE PREss.-Mr. Beecher
in the Christian Union thus pointedly
disciplines such papers as the Ledger
and the Sun: If influence in forming
public opinion, which is the will of a.
democratic government, be a laudable
ambition in journalist, he will do we'll
to remember that large circulation for
his paper is of no account whatever COM
pared with we'll earned reputation for
integrity, sincerity, and earnest convic-
in his character and conduct. A Jour-
nal that is notorious for sensationalism
and personalities may print 100000 cop
les of morning, defaming good man,
and its defamation will have no more
effect upon the public than water on
ducks back. And when such a paper
praises villain, its praises slides off in
the very same way. And, worse yet,
when 1T advocates the best of causes its
support IS an injury. 1t is not the cir
culation but the character of journal
which makes its censure or its common
dation of any appreciate account.
