man. that Bishop Bissell has lately con-
firmed, in this diocese, as follows : In st.
Mary's Church, Mortified, four persons
St. Luke's, Chester, three; Chapel OF the
Vermont Episcopal Institute, at Burning
ton, ten; Grace, Sheldon, six; st. Thomas
Brandon, nine; st. Johns, Poultney'
three. This summary includes the list TO
June 18th.
The Rev. E. n. Randall was instl-
tinted rector of st. JohA's parish, includ'
ing St. Johns and Trinity Churches,
Poultney, on the 18th ult. Bishop Bis
sell oficiated, assisted by Rev. DIR. Bailey,
of Sheldon. The parish school here
numbers some thirty boys and girls, from
all denominations, and is doing good
work. The recent festival of the parish
was success, pecuniailry and otherwise.
We are glad to see the name of the
Rev. J. Isham Bliss, the accomplished
rector of st. James Church, Hydeville,
and pastor of the Mission at Fairhaven,
as one of the recent examining committee,
at the closing exercises Of Castleton Sem
inarv. and to read their satisfactory re-
port of the same. He was formerly
member of the State Board OF Education
AT THE celebration at Granville, N
Y, July 4th, the Rev. John Herman
rector of Trinity Church, and formerly
of Rutland, oficiated as chaplain, and
after the Grafton, delivered an address,
which was enthusiastically received.
The Rev. J. W. McIlwaine, late rec
tor of St. Stephens Church, Middlebury
has become rector of Trinity Church
Whitehall, N. Y. He will be much miss
ed by his many friends in Vermont, but
we have no doubt that his ability ant
scholarly attachments will be appreciates
by his new friends in the diocese o
Albany.
The resignation, by the Rev. F. w
Smith NOW of St. Albans), of st. James
Church, Arlington, deprives large ant
important parish of the services of wis
, and able rector, who will long be remem
j bered in that community.

Swallow, from beyond the sea
That, with every dawning day,
Sitting on the balcony,
Interest that plaintive lay.
What is that thou tellest me,
Swallow, from hey ond the sea
Haply thou for him who went
From thee and forgot his mate
Dost lament to my lament,
Widowed, lonely, desolate.
Even then lament with me,
Swallow, from beyond the sea
HAMMER yet art thou than l,
Thee thy trusty wings may bear,
Over lake and cliff to fly,
Filling with thy cries the air,
Calling him continually,
Swallow, from beyond the sea.
Could too but must pine,
In this dungeon, close and low,
Where the sun can never shine,
Where the breeze can never blow,
Whence my voice scarce reaches thee'
Swallow, from beyond the sea.
Now September days are near,
Thou to distant lands will fly,
In another hemisphere.
Other streams shall hear thy cry,
Other hills shall answer thee,
Swallow, from beyond the sea.
Then shall I when daylight glows,
Waking to the sens e of pain,
Midst the wintry frosts and SHOWS,
Think 1 hear tiny notes again
Notes that seem to grieve for me,
Swallow, from beyond the sea.
Planted here upon the ground
Thou shalt find a CROSS in spring
There. as evening gathers round,
Swallow, come and rest thy wing
Chant strain of peace tome,
Swallow, from beyond the sea.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NEW York
RIoT.-Now that the intense excitement
which followed the terrible outbreak of
the lawless element in New York city has
in a measure subsidized, it becomes easier
to form Just opinion as to where the re-
sprosibility of its origin rests. 1t becomes
evident that political influence had much
more to do with the instigation and en-
couragement of the riot than any religious
agency 1t is clear that the sympathies
of the intelligent and respectable portion
of the adhorcnts to the Catholic faith were
not in favor of the lawless outbreak of
passion and prejudice. The authoritative
voice OF the Catholic Church was raised
against the disturbance, aud had it's ad-
monitions been needed the scenes of hor-
ror would have been averted. Whatever
may have been the strength OF the re-
ligious prejudice existing between the
two opposing elements of the Irish popu-
lation, the late events would show
tuht luS w as Aot ~ SiCot DO "
lead to violation of the laws of the land
by open hostilities. .'...
All good Catholics followed the counsels
of their spiritual leaders, and it was to
those who were alike disloyal to their
religious obligations at we'll as to the
duties of good citizenship, that the riot is
to be attributed.
1t is evident that the designing leaders
of the Tsmmany Democracy took oc
casion to gain political advantage by
pandering to the prejudice and passion Of
the HAWKES. class. Had firm measures
been at once adopted by the city author
tiles, the uprising Of this turbulent ele
ment could have been crushed in the ont
set. The voice of the clergy was agains,

FIRE AT MIDDLEBURY.-We learn
from the Burlington Free Press that on
Wednesday evening. July 18th, about
twenty minutes before twelve fire broke
ont in the freight depot at Middlebury.
The depot was entirely consumed and all
it's contents, consisting of wool valued at
S., 900, and merchandise of various kinds
The cause of the fire is unknown.
BY the earnest efforts of the fire COM
pany the passenger depot was saved and
the woodshed. A building containing
ice was mostly destroyed. Some lumber
was burned, but large amount that lay
near was saved as there was an abund
ance of water from Otter Greek, handy
The "W ashington" boys did splendid ser
vice, and though it seemed for time that
the woodshed must burn, yet pluck and
good supply of water saved it.

THE Coal TRADE IN RUTLAND.-We
learn that the Delaware and Hudson
Canal Company are building two hundred
dump" coal cars at their Salem shops, of
about ten tons capacity, for use on the
Rutland and Washington and Rensselaer,
and Saratoga divisions of their road. One
of the directors of the company, with the
manager of the coal shipping business,
has been here and at West Rutland
within few days past, and exhibited
considerable interest in ascertsining the
wants of our business community, with a
view to such arrangements rs shall lead
to the establishment of a large depot IN
Rutland as central distributing point
for the entire Western Vermont Valley
Such desirable result is most earnestly
to be hoped for, and will most decidedly
contribute towards resuscitating the
dropping business of our town, and will
materially aid in promoting manufacture
ing interests by eheapening the price o
fuel, which is an item of great importance
in non-producing community like ours

Governing Families.

The New York Times gives list of
the governing families" in that city.
How familiar most of the names look
The Hofmans" have two representative
men holding off1ce-with salaries from
SIS 1000 to $4,000 each The Sweenys"
seven-salaries from $4,000 to $500
per annum. The "Tweeds" count up
twelve in number-with salaries from
81, 600 to $175,000, according to the pick
ings of esch. The Connollys," less in
number, are equally heavy on compensa-
ton. The "Smiths" are modest in guam
tity, but not SO in pay. The "Bradys'
spread out largely, as also the HilIons,
all upon the largest possible allowances.
These are representative names. Every
son, son-in-law, brother in-law and rela-
tive of each who can trace consanguinity
has snug berth provided at the peoples
measurably. Except few of the govern
ing class who do the manipulating, the
public have no knowledge of who or how
many are in the receipt of salaries, either
with or without rendering service. This
| information is carefully suppressed. The
Comptroller has published no list, and
will not allow the facts to be copied from
| the public records. But the array is
known to be vast, and it is known that
| millions have been taken from the trea
sury in the way of salaries to bribe poll
ticians without any pretense that they
have served the city in any capacity, un.
less in the brideweIls. This class of lar
cenies show as regular legal disbursements
and make no part of the great aggregate
sum that has been plundered from the tax
payers. Every section and department Of
the city administration is found to be
utterly corrupt and rotten.

Harvesting Horses Correctly.

WHEN harnessed correctly, a strong
horse is powerful animal but by an i'm
perfect adjustment of the gearing, many
strong teams are shorn of half their
strength; and many are often worried
more by an improper fit of the harness, or
by decidedly bad attachment TO the
vehicle they are drawing, than by all the
service they perform. But few teamsters
have ever been taught how to harness
horse correctly; and fewer still have ever
learned that there is right way and
wrong way to hitch team to a carriage.
When harness is taken from the shop,
every part should be adjusted to fit the
horse that is to wear it.
Back 6dnd.-The back band should be
let out or buckled up, until it will be
neither too long nor too short when the
animal is drawing a load. Many a good
horse has had large sore made on his
back simply because the back band of the
harness was buckled up too far.
BTeeching. bIeeching should also
be adjusted properly, so that the horse
will not seem like man in a boys coat,
nor like colt wearing the harness Of q
full grown horse.
C0Ndr.-The collar should fit as neatly
to the animals neck as an easy pair of
shoes set on ones feet. TIE collar should
never be so long that man can thrust his
arm easily between the neck of the animal
and the lower end of the collar. Many
horses-especially old ones-when thin
in flesh, require collars so small that they
cannot be put over the heads of the horses
that wear them. 1t is of eminent import
az &C that the proprietors of teams should
see to such minor points, and provide
collars that are open at the top or bottom.
Every horse should have his own collar
and harness as much as every man his
own boots and coat.
Lines-The lines are often adjusted in
such manner that the heads of both
horses are hauled away from each other
so far that the team cannot travel easily.
At other times their heads are drawn too
far inward, toward each other. The lines
should be adju-ted so that the heads may
be held just as far apart as the length OF
the double whiffletree.
POLs.-When team is attached to a
carriage, or lumber wagon, the breast.
straps, stay y-chains or neck-yoke should
be so adjusted that the pole or tongue
cannot strike either horse. The tongue
is often allowed to have so much play
that it whangs the arms or shoulders ol
the team with terrible force, when the
vehicle is b=iDg drawn over rough ways
The neck-yoke straps, or tongue-chains
should be drawn up so as to elevate the
tongue between the shoulders, where the
lateral jerking or thrusting will be re
ceived by the gearing on the necks of the
animals, rather than against the unpro
tected arms or shoulders of the team

Securing Fodder Corn for Winter.

MANY have had an impression that fod-
der corn formed poor food for animals
in winter, but this impression has been, no
doubt, obtained from feeding out imper-
tectly cured and musty fodder. Properly
cured fodder corn f rms anourishing food,
and mich COWS, sheep and horses eat it
| with relish.
Fodder corn growing thickly is very
| succulent, and contains great amount of
juice; consequently when its growth is
checked by cutting, fermentation rapidly
occurs, and unless the utmost care is OBJ
served, the fodder will be injured before
one is aware of it. On this account as
soon as cut, it should be disposed in small
quantities in place, and should never
remain long unmoved upon the grould.
1t can, however, remain day or two, if
spread loosely, without injury. If by in
attention it is left too thick, and heating
begins, lis value is gone. After it has
wilted day, the fodder should be taxed
up and placed thinly besides fences, or
what is very good arrangement, against
horlz 1ntsl poles placed in forked stakes
set In the ground, the poles coming about
breast high.
A plan involving less labor, and pro-
badly serving the purpose as well, is re-
commended by a correspondent This
consists in setting single stakes, at conven
lent distances, firmly into the ground.
Then tie the corn in small bundles, and
set six or eight of these bundles lightly
against the stake, and tie firmly but Dose
ly with band. This prevents the shocks
from being blown down, and perfect free.
dom of air to every part is secured. They
should remain out until thoroughly dried.
When hauled in, the bundles can be un-
bound aud the corn spread over tops OF
mows, and also on head scaff ids prepared
for the purpose.
Many farmers commit an error in allow
ing their fodder corn to become too large
before it is cut. BY so doing, the leaves
are more tough and the stalks so large as
to be refused by stock. Whereas, cut at
the right time when the leaves ara tender
and the stalks succulent, the whole will be
eaten up clean. 1t is a laborious job to
cut up an acre or two of fodder corn with
a common corn hook, and many farmers
now use the hand scyihe as in moving
grass-a little practice being sufficient to
throw the tops all one way so evenly that
it can be easily gathered up and bound

Feeding Chickens.

1 have been very successful in feeding
chicks this year, none of them being trou-
bled with Group or other diseases. l am
satisfied that in feeding wheat screenings
as obtained from the mills, they should
always be soaked in water eight or ten
hours, or at least washed, before feeding,
to soften the white caps, swell the shrunk-
en- kernels and destroy the poisonous dust.
Corn meal should always be mixed with
boiling water for chickens. Onions, tops
as well as bottoms, should be cut fine and
fed daily. They are very stimulating, and
superior to many medical preparations re-
commended for sick chickens. believe a
daily feeding of onions tends greatly to
ward off disease
The truth is, too little attention is paid
to having dry and warm quarters for fowls
generally, though no animal pays better
for good care than fowls. Without it,
even fair results cannot be expected

Override t0red.

Without any disrespect to the members OF the
thinking men, it is only just to say that they are
too thick on the ground. The consequence is that
the community Is doctored over much. When na-
ture needs only the ger tie simuant and alternative,
which has become famous throughout the country
as a reliable medicine, under the name OF Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, che is not unfrequently
dosed with dozen prescriptions, all experimental,
from the Pharmacopeia. This is an evil, and
proves that the practice of medicine lie far from
being AT all times healing art At this period of
the year. when the fall of the leaf indicates that
decay has seizsd upon the vegetable kingdom
many harrassing diseases are prevalent. Chief
among these may be mentioned intermittent fever
and bilious remittent. The exhalations rising
from decomposing vegetation, and the heavy dews
and fogs, are very apt to generate these com
plants. The wisest policy is to protect the system
by q course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters at the
commencement of the fall. Much suffering may
thereby be avoided. But il the disease has already
begun, its periodical visitations may readily be
checked, and broken up by this active, yet harm
less, vegetable tonic.
But be on your guard against the char atans
who are attempting to palm on, under various
names unwhoesome compounds, whi h they pre-
tend to compare favorably with the great national
elixir which has long since swept more formidable
opposition from the field Bear in mind that every

A MAN named David R. Spencer, with
his family, consisting of wife ard three
children, arrived in Putnam County, Pa,
few days ago, having moved all their
earthly goods and family from East Ten
nessee, distance of five hundred miles,
in wheelbarrow. He was Just twenty five
days on the way. One of the children, the
youngest, he wheeled the whole distance,
while his wife and the other two children
walked every step of it. The wheelbsr.
row was built according to his own notion.
the wheels being four feet high, and the
body of the concern standing thir .y-four
inches from the ground. He SAYS he left
Tennessee because he could only earn fifty
cents per day there, and having relatives
living in Putnam County, he just thought
he would strike out for there, which he
did in the above novel manner.
