THE RUTLAND HERALD
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1871.


PHGcrl sff irs in Vermont are quiet
with the exception OF a little stir among
t,e ring" who cannot quite keep still,
apl who have year in advance assigned
tbo various State officers to Themselves
and their friends. Some of their move
monts are decidedly rich, aud their future
development may prove interesting TO the
people. While with this exception our
State j. free from political canvassing, the
campaigra in several of the States are
growing interesting. Lesders on both
sides are warming 10 the work, and some
very good speeches have been made, a.
we'll gs some that are PrePosterou7 and
aJ,urd. In Ohio, Senator Sherman has
replied to Ewin4's late remarkable speech
aud so completely exposed and refuted its
f4..acies, that there is nothing left Of it,

short Locals.

Major l.. G.. Kingsley has left at our
Office cluster of tomatoes that for size and
symmetry of form, it is safe to say will
bear the palm against anything that can
be produced in this section. The cluster
numbers eleven finely shaped specimens,
and weighs five and oxe-half pounds.
They are of the General Grant variety
and were raised in the Majors garden,
without artificial aid. They are certain
ly magnificent sight, and we trust speci-
mens of this variety will te on exhibition
at the coming fair.
Mr.. A. Thompson, well known in
this vicinity as an experienced practical
boot and shoe maker, has rented the old
Union House, and is now fitting it up
with the intention of engaging in the
manufacture of boots and shoes for the
wholesale trade Mr.. Thompson will in
troduce facilities for manufacturing the
best claes of work, aud we trust he will
meet with the announcements and sue
cess which his enterprise richly merits.
The car building department of the
railroad shops in this village, now presents
& scene of bustling activity, in refreshing
contrast with the previous condition of
affairs Some few weeks since, Mr.. T.
NJ Sessions, son of the master car build
err of the Central railroad shops at st. AL
bans, took charge of the car building
shops of the Rutland division, and with
An increased force Of worknen, COM
menced the construction Of first class pas
scnger cars. Two of these are in process
of building, and will be followed by 9TH
ers, when completed. 1t is the intention
Of the managers of the Central railroad
to still further increase the working force
of the shops and to introduce new ma
chinery and make other improvements
with a view to facilitate the construction
Of first cl4ss cars.

POLITICAL PRosPECTs.-Political re-
ports from Ohio are of highly encourag-
ing character. That the State ticket will
have large republican majority is undis-
puted. The contest is in regard to mem
bers Of the Legislature in Cincinnati, To-
ledo and Cleveland, where the Sunday
question has an influence which it is diff
feult to estimA But for this the dem
ocrats would fight for the Legislature
with as little hope as they do for the State
officers. Pennsylvania is reported all
right.

DANBY.-Mr Levi Barrett, now resi-
dent of Western New York, is visiting
his friends here for few days. He was
for many years a resident here, having
carried on the tannery business now
owned by Leincoln & Mattocks, and in
which he Is still engaged.
j. Madison Allen, of Bridgewater,
Mass, spoke in the church here again
last Sabbath, on the subject of spiritual
isn, to large audience.
You will recollect, short time ago,
that mention was made through your
paper in regard to the Staples Gilt-Edge
Cheese Factory shipping ninsty boxes of
cheese directly to Loudon, England.
Many have been waiting anxiously to
learn ths result The diaeotors received
returns laet week, dated at London July
both, and after de1ucting freight, COM
mission, insurance, g.. it net the patrons
here 10l cts per lb, which is very satis-
factory 10 them. The directors shipped
106 boxes Aug %, to the same company,
upon which they received an advance of
Q eta per lb that being seven eighths of
the market value of this quality of cheese
in New York. This puts the risk of
$I2 10 on every 500 of cheese shipped.
Az order is expected soon for 800 boxes
more. Other factories would do we'll to
adopt this system, but it is understood
that the cheese must be really gilt edge, and
made strictly on the Little Falls plan,
Which, as is generally known, is govern
ing the market price Of cheese in the
United States.

troops enough to protect the frontier, and
no further trouble need be apprehended.
Nine hundred Cheyennes arrived at the

Tho Department of State issued a
circular on Thursday, notifying persons
having claims against Great Britain,
growing out of the depredations of seve-
raj vessels, and known es the Alabama
claims, who have not already filed them
in the State department, to do 80 forth
with, in order that they may be taken in
to account in presenting the aggregate
claims of the United States before the
board of arbitrators which meets in &C.
neva next December. No steps need be
taken by persons whose claims are already
filed, unless they have further proof to
present Claimants must prepare proof
OF their claims. 1t is expected the COM

DEMOCRATIC MISREPRESENTATION
One of the hardest-ridden misrepresenta.
tions of the Democrats that the people are
taxed moro heavily than ever before, be-
cause, forsooth, lighter taxes, honestly
collected from thriving population, pro.
duced more in 1870 than in 1860, now
falls headlong to the ground. The reve-
nues of the United States for the year end
ing June 80, 1871, are actually about
eight per cent. less than for the year end
ing June %, 1870. The internal revenue
taxes have yielded but $143,OOO,OOO
against $1s5,00o,00o the previous year, a
difference of $42,00O,00O The revenue
from customs, owing to larger consump.
tion of foreign goods, increased from
$195, 100000 in 1870 to $2O6,0O0,OOO in
1871, gain of 81 100000, which substrat-
ed from the loss in internal revenue leaves
still falling off of S31,0OO,OOO in the
gross yield of the national taxes.

GEN. BUTLER.-The newspaper CORES
pondent Warrington, whom Gen. Butler
accuses of slandering him, in the course
of reply, says that the difficulty between
him and Butler occurred thirty years ago,
and since then he has lost reputation in
some quarters, because he has been sus-
pected of being Butler man. He saws
he helped procure for Butler The Major.
Generalship, for which favor he received
thanks in neat letter, and a present
which he cannot call handsome one, it
being only the Generals photograph.

this class of crimes in Vermont-which
we always supposed to be one of the most
peaceful and moral States of the Union
over the statistics for the rest of New

somewhat from the confidence to be re-.

whatever, assaulted near his home In Emeline
street by gang of rowdy colored boys, and
beaten, stabbed, and manned in a fearful
manner. He was jumped upon; his ankle
bone was twisted from its socket, and the
bones protruded through the flesh. He was
taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital where
amputation was necessary. Abscesses broke

HAGGLING IN THE HIGHLANDS.

1t is odd to notice the style in which the
country-folk coming into Stornoway go about
their purchases. For instance, a man comes
into town to buy bonnet Ga Scotch cap).
He goes first to the Diapers, and after
lounging about in the shop, looking round,
and perhaps offering an occasional remark
on the weather and other general subjects, as
if he had no intention of making purchase
(for the people consider the space outside
the counter to be public property, he at
last approaches the business that
brought him. He tries on a variety
of bonnets, asks the prices, and takes
particular note of the bonnets that suit him.
He then leaves the shop and proceeds to
another Diapers, where he goes through the
same process; and, having gone through the
town in this way, returns to the place where
he thinks he will make the best bargain.
After great deal of hsggling to bring down
the prices, he perhaps makes the purchase,
but, if not satisfied, he will go away, to
return some other day, and see if he cannot
get the article for penny or a half-penny
less. This style of business is not confined
to the Jews. A gentleman connected with
the Perth and Inverness Railway told me
that, when that line was first opened, some of
the natives, wholly unaccustomed to fixed
prices, ,endeavored to deal with the ticket clerk
as they would with a shopkesper. Tha
following was one of the dialogues that en-
ed:-Countryman-' is the price to
Kingussie?' Ticket clerk-''Two aud eight
pence" "Two and eightpencs? Hsch, never!
Ill give you two shillings." "There is no
reduction. The fare is two and eight. y
snake it two and tuppence, and it's bar
gain ST tell you the fare is two and eight
pence" ''It's only matter of thirty miles y
'It doesn't matter what it is. That is the
fare ''Tll give you two and threepence.
''It won't do" 'Two and fourpence, then.
''No, nor two and fourpence." At two anc
sixpence he made dead stand, and, finding
the clerk inexorAble, went away and waited
till the next train, when he came back Will
his 4ffer of the two and sixpence, in hopes OF
finding the clerk more accommodating. =
