C. E. HILLS a. CO.'S GRTsT MILL DIX
sTROVED-BOss $4,000.

On Saturday evening last, about hall
past ten o'clock, the large steam Touring
mill of c. E. Hills & Co., standing near
the track of the c. c. c. & I. Railway,
just opposite the depot, was discovered
to be on fire. For fully half an hour
after the alarm was given no light of any
conhagration could be seen, the fire dur
ing that time being wholly confined
within the building and manifesting it
self only in a dense volume of smoke
which drifted over the town making the
darkness darker.
The entire force of our fire depart
ment was promptly on the ground, and
for a little while it seemed that the prop
erty might be saved The safe and
few barrels of -four had been rolled out
when the fre-6end began to be observ-
ed creeping along the chinlzs of the
weatherboarding on the east side of the
building, and directly afterwards a col
unn of flame could be seen inside
through one of the windows. Ten min
utes later great volumes of imprisoned
fire burst from the roof making night
luminous and scattering showers of
sparks on adjacent buildings. From
this time forward the mill-being a
wooden building burned like tinder-
box, and the fremen directed their ef-
forts wholly toward saving the neighbor-
ing property. The large warehouse of
Messrs. Myers & Paul, directly opposite, |
in which a large quantity of oil was
stored, smoked with the intensity of the |
heat, and as the wind blew directly to-
wards it, seemed tor a time in serious |
danger. The little depot building. which |
stood still nearer the fire. got a lively |
and the warehouse of J. Hyatt, |
also opposite the fire, for time shared
in the general danger. But the fremen

Of these buildings deluged with water,

cisterns of the neighborhood in so do
ing. The flames were confined to the
Mill which, by the arrival of the twelve
o'clock train, going south. had been
pretty much consumed; otherwise the
train would have had hot passage.
The mill contained at the time of its
destruction AIS barrels of -four. $50
bushels of wheat and like amount of
corn. This grain was of course all de-
itroyed. The engine being in a FIRE
proof attachment to the mill was unin-
ured.
The mill was owned by Messrs. c. E.
Hills and Howell Hills who have an in

lnce will be 5000 or $4,000. Mr.. c.

AN ANECDoTE.-Black River Falls is

precision and practical force.
Well it happened not long since that
the Judge was handling large amount
of whole porkers, preparing for the
woods. Everything was moving hur-
riedly. Sometimes a porker would not
stay put just right, and the Judge. for
getting the company of Cincinnati ci:i-

would clinch every time.

efforts, a minister appeared before him,

REDUCING THE TAXES.
Secretary BoutweII's Plan for Fund
ing the Public Debt.

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald, says:
1t has already been stated in the rews-
papers that Secretary Boutwell, intends
TO urge upon Congress a plan which he
has matured for funding of about ST.
100000, 900 of the national debt at 4
per cent. or lower. In addition to the
facts heretofore stated in regard to Mr..
BoUtwell's plan, it may be mentioned
that it contemplates taking up the i've
twenties now due, and in their stead is-
suing the new bonds.
1t is expected that this measure will
be violently opposed by the bank inter
est and bondholders generally. The
Secretary, however has made up his
mind and will not be swerved from his
purpose. As far as the banks are con-
cerned, if they oppose it, he will take
steps to encourage the establishment of
institutions on the freq principle.
The proposition of Mr., Boutwell,, if
put into operation, will warrant an al
most immediate release OF the great bulk
of the articles of internal taxation from
the severe burdens resting upon them at
present. Over $l5O,OO0,O00 are now
required to pay interest alone. BY the
reduction contemplated it is thought
that with safety taxation can be removed
from all the necessar;es, leaving spirits,
malt liquors, tobacco, and incomes to
provide the balance required in excess of
the customs. The funding is also con-
sidered an actual demand, in order to
produce favorable competition between
the employment of capital in bonds and
in industrial enterprises as an invest
ment. The present high rate of interest,
it is admitted, cripples the industry of
the country, as United States securities
not only provide safe and convenient
investment. but also pay high rate of
interest. To regard to tae tax on in.
comes, there is disposition on the part
of the Secretary, to favor increasing the
amount exempt to 81, 500 or 50, 900, and
to tax all incomes over that amount
He takes the ground that the present ar
rangement is not fair proportion. For
instance, person with an income of ST.
500, and probably large family to sup
port. pays $40 income tax per aGnum-
an amount be can hardly spare-where-
as, those of large incomes can pay theirs
without stinting themselves or their fam
lilies. He considers the income tax just
as it is tax upon the surplus wealth of
the country, and if anything should bear
its share of the financial burdens of the
government, it is the wealth of the ma
ton. 1t is considered that this new
scheme when put in force, will admit of
a reduction of the army of internal rev
enue appointees, and the system will per
NIT material simplification, and saving
of expense.

1t will be noted that whereas the in
crease of our population in the previous
decade was less than one third of one
per cent, it has been in the last decade
nearly five per cent, or about fifteen
times as much. This, considering the
losses of men sustained in the war, is
certainly gratifying gain.
1t is probably, however, not sufficient
to entitle us to three representatives in
Congress. If the population of the
United States proves to be forty millions,
and the number of the members in the
House is increased to 800, the basis of
representation will be about 134, ,000.-
This will give Vermont fraction Of
$4,000, which may possibly entitle us TO
a third member Should the State be
re-districted, taking the mountains for
the dividing line, and including La

population will be 1853, ,525 on the West
side, and 1910 on the East side.

A New DISCOVERY WITH CORN
An intelligent and reliable neighbor of
ours who has for many years been max
ing experiments with corn, has dis over
ed an Importance and value replanted
corn which is quite novel and worthy Of
publication. We have always thought
replanted corn was of little consequence
but this gentleman says it is ofso much
consequence, he replants, whether it is
needed or motor rather, he plants two
or three weeks after the crop is planted,
hill about every fifteenth row each
way" He says, !" If the weather be-
comes dry during the filling time, the
silk and tassles both become dry and
dead. In this condition, If it should be-
come seasonable, the silk revives and re-
news its growth, but the tassle does not
recover. Then for want of pollen the
new silk is unable to fill the office for
which it was designed. The pollen from
replanted corn is then ready to supply
the silk, and the filling is completed" ;"
He says nearly all the abortive ears,
so common in corn crops, are caused by
want of pollen, and shat he has known
ears to double their size in this second
