Co.. at their brush manufaotory, on the
property of Capt. Fl. L. Shields, some
two miles east of Bennington, was entire.
ly destroyed by fire Tuesday noon, to-
gether with all its contents. Loss heavy
on the amount of stock in storage, which
was large. There was a good insurance,
though it is said not sufficient to cover the
loss. 1t is understood that the fire will
not materially dissrrange their business.
The dwelling house of James Tice of
Newport, was burnt last Thursday after
noon. Mr.. Tice and his wife were both
absent, and the FIRE was not discovered
until beyond control. The buildings and
nearly everything in them, including one
cow, were destroyed; few articles of
clothing and furniture only being saved.
Insured for $500.
On Sunday evening, Dec. Sd, large
barn belonging to Geo. f. Allen, filled
with hay and grain, was discovered to be
on fire. A fresh south wind was blowing,
and the progress of the lanes was so rap
id that it was impossible to release all the
COWS from the stables, and one Of them
was burned, with the building and all the
ndjoining stables and sheds. Had the
wind been north, nothing could have
saved the dwelling house and other
buildings on the place or those on the sd-
joining farm. The barn was insured in
the Farmers Mutual for $500. The cause
of the fire is not known.

3. The existence of decay is to be
found in the fact that the nation has new
er had the good of the people at heart,
The wealth, ETC., of the island has been
spent in other countries, not there. Ii
the wealth had been distributed there, it
might have been glcrious community.
4. While a large proportion of the
people are orderly and quiet, yet, on ac-
count of former slavery they are easily ex'
cited and led into revolution and at the
mercy of revolutionary leaders. They
choose their leaders, as it were, by The
sword. They have run in the old track
so long that they have not the power to
lift themselves out. Their only hope is in
stronger arm and under stronger gov
ernment.
5. The majority of the people are in
favor of putting themselves under the
United States. 1t is so in the interior as
we'll as on the coast.
am in favor of the annexation of Sam
to Domingo to the United States. 1t will
do no injury to them or to us, but will
benefit them and the world at large.
1t is but fair to notice objections that
are made. 1t is said that the people are
fckle and treacherous, that they invited
the Spaniards there, and then, before thew
had fairly obtained foothold, revolted.
This is true, but the reason was that
Spain was at her old tricks again, and
would have reduced her to the condition
OF Cuba.
But it is said that it would be wrong
to extinguish this oolored nationality.
With most of these obieotors, if they were
white, it would mako difference. The
higher we rise in intelligence, the more
free we are from prejudice against color.
When be was in Middlebury some years
ago, he met with great opposition and
ridicule, but he met some among her most
intelligent citizens who greeted him and
met him cordially. Mr.. Sumner does not
wish to extiuguish q nationality. But
nationality, like everything else, is to be
held sacred according to its usefulness.
If useful keep it up, if not dispense with
it, Nationality means something besides
the power to create titles and Offices. 1t
means power, and the power to command
respect Santo Domingo is too small for
nation, but would do for county or
small State A nations flag represents a
principle and a power. What does the
flag of Santo Domingo amount to? In
stead of enlarging a man it ''ensmalls'
him.
Annexation now means, - extend the
area of freedom, and the redemption of
the world from a corrupt priesthood. 1t
IL said no civilization has succeeded in
the tropics. It is because the attempt
has never been made by freedom. Anglo
Srxons have never tried. Where it was
tried in Mexico, Catholicism was on her
heels, in South America it was Castilian
I believe where Latin civiliz alton has
failed, Anglo-Saxon civilization will sue
