BASE BALL.-The Troy Times says
The rain Wednesday afternoon prevented
the game between the Putnams of Troy
and the Stars of Pawlet, much to the re-
greet of about sixty Vermonters who ac-
companied the Pawlet club, ready to back
it to any amount. City base ball relish
ers were also disappointed, for it had been
reported that the Stars had the best nine
of any club that had met the Puts this
year, except our own Haymakers and the
Kekiongas. The Pawlet boys remained
over until Thursday morning, when the
game was played. The Puts had heard
alarming reports concerning the proves
of their opponents, both at the bat and in
the field, and they played carefully. The
result was that the visitors were out
manmuvered at every point, and were
beaten by decisive score. The home
players, except in the eighth inning
when they felded very loosely, nevA- -

BENNINGToN.-A very heavy thru
shower visited Bennington on tt. ursday
evening.
Nathaniel B. Hall and f4mily have
returned from the West.
The largest celebration that ever oc-
Cured in Bennington will take place on
the 10th of August. President Grant,
Gen. Sherman, and other officers have
been invited to attend, and a general in
vitation is extended by the committee of
arrangements to all societies, associations
and companies. Instead of the balloon
ascension that was to take place, the
money raised for that purpose is to be
used for fire works and other enjoyable
things. Hon. S. B. Hunt has accepted the
position of president of the day. The
old company of R. A. Us will also rag out
in full number.
One of Bennington's citizens under
took the other day to catch pig that was
frequently found roofing up his garden,
to measure him so that he might make a
yoke to keep the brute from crawling
through the fence. Accordingly the pig
was driven into the cellar kitchen. But
when the man and his boy undertook to
catch him, he jumped through the widow
and vanished. "There. you cuss," said
the citizen, Ego and be darned-that's
what wanted-you're by g." The size
of the window bad told the story.
i. George Wall, son of Jasper Wall,
of Dorset, is dangerously i'll.
Arrangements are being made to get
several steam fire engines to come to Ben
nington on the 10th of August, and make
a trial of their capacity.

BEST SOIL FOR CURRAxTs-We have
never had good success with currants
light sandy on soil. Although well cul-
tivated and we'll MANFRED they never
grew vigorously; bushes were small
and fruit thin and of imperfect size. At
the end of two years we dug them up
and threw them away. We believe
that in such soils, as fruit for family
gardens, they can only be grown salts
factorily in the following places:
Either close to the north side OF high
garden fences.
In orchards or under the branches Of
fruit trees which overhang the garden,
or by msiching.
In such warm light soils the plants
must have moisture, aud tins must come
either from deep mulching or cool
shade. The mulching NAV be effica-
cious for time, but we believe the ben
efits would not be very lasting. The
true soil for currants is well drained
clay soil, or clay and loan mixed. In
| this no mulch will be needed, and ordi-
nary cultivation is amply sufficient.
The finest currants we have ever seen
were grown in the partial shade OF apple
and pear orchards. and the owners have
never been affected with mildew or the
currant worm. Goodness, shade. or
mulching are Indispensable to insure
success in currant growing.

RULERS VIII ARE ON THE MAKE The
avarIci0us disposition OF Queen Victoria,
and the enormous amount of money taken
from ih- public treasury for the support OF
her family and relations, are among the
principal causes Of her present unpopular
lty. Ii costs the British people over three
millions Of Dollars year to support the
royal families; and yet. ever since the
dea OF Prince Albert, the Queen has
avoided the usual expenditures of her sta
ton. much to the disgust of the London
trade>ine N and the English people gener-
ally. She inherited over five million of
dollars from Prince Albert, who possessed
an income of about thousand dollars a
year when she married him. SIZE has also
received several beduests of large sums of
money from wealthy people ambitious to
connect their names In some way with roy
atty. One of these, man named NeeId.
bequea5hed to the Queen million and a
half of dollars, which she pocketed, al
though it was shown that the kindred Of
this person were in a very needy condition.
The belief is becoming prevalent that in
England the monarchy will be abolished
when Victoria dies: and if such should
prove to be the case, there can be no doubt
that her grasping conduct in money mat
tiers VIII have contributed largely to such
a result.
In this we may see the superiority Of
Americans institutions over those of Great
Britain; for if we should ever be so unfor-
tunate a. to have President who should
prove himself greedy for gain. it would
not be his high Office, but himself, that
would be repudiased BY the people at the
end of his term.

pulmonary or bronchial difficulties. 1t is
the most hurtful thing in the world to 90
