The VERMONT MuTuAL.-The forty.
fourth annual report of the Vermont
Mutual Fire Insurance Company is before
US, with its full and clear statements Of
receipts, expenditure, incidental expenses,
and losses. The Company issued last
year $3.50 policies, insuring property to
the amount of 81, 557, 1868, receiving
premium notes amounting to s796,471.29,
making the capital of the Company at the
present time SO, 3S7, 1o0.35. The Ia
bes show that the amount at risk is $751;.
O13,4S4. In the first class, consisting of
dwellings, sheds, barns and contents, the
losses and expenses for twenty.six years
ending Aug. |, 1871, were s767, 1926,
and the receipts from that class were
S7O7, 440.37. In other words, the re-
ceipts from dwellings and farm property
have thus far been $50, 295.S9 less than
their share Of the losses and expenses.
In the other four classes, denominated
Hazardous" including stores, factories,
taverns, &C., 3,1S3 policies are in force,
covering ST, 1S5, 3OS. The receipts for
the twenty.six years ending August l,
1871, from these four classes, were $S49, :
34l.4l, and the losses and expenses were
s73S, 329.6S. The hazardous classes
have thus more than paid for their share
of losses, and for the deficit on the first
class. No less than 29l losses were
settled last year, amounting to s1O4,79O,'
so, and assessments amounting to three
per cent, were laid, raising sl0O,652,'
SO. The receipts Of the year lack but o
few dollars of SAC, 900, and the expen
ses were S12,359. The new Office, LAND
and furniture, cost $4,000.

GOVERNOR STEWART AND JIM Fisk
The Vermont papers are indulging in
earnest discussions over the report OF
Governor Stewards leaving the stand, on
the occasion of the recent celebration at
Bennington, when Fisk was called out.
The st. Adams Messenger processes to
have interviewed His Exoellency, and
learned that no discourtesy was intended
for the "man who stole railroad" He
only sought more comfortable position.
The Free Press claims to know all about
the matter, aJ initio, and is quite sure
the gallant Colonel was Intentionally and
properly snubbed ; and argues that nothing
less than this could have maintained the
dignity Of the State. The Messenger
reafirms its position, intimating that
Governor Stewart is no boor to be dis
courteous to any body. The Free Press
thinks, Col. Fisk's presence as an invited
guest was an insult to the Governor and
other invited guests, and that they could
do no less than to show proper resent.

the Free Press and thinks that when the
Governor had done the proper thing and
maintained the dignity Of his Office and
Of the State" he ought to stick by it

no political issues to contest, for if they

Fisk. And the people generally cart
less than we do about it. The Governor
has perfect right, with every Other

Stewart, will believe he was guilty of any

Deafness
and Discharges from the Ears Of
Children.

Mothers, look well after the ears of your child
rem. When you have spoken to them in an or
binary tone of voice and receive no reply, don't
scold or punish them but rather have their ears
examined, and, in nine cases out of ten, a slight
deafness is the cause of their inattention. Such
cases should receive the attention of skilfull
Aurist, for if allowed to run their course every
cold taken, no matter how slight, increases the
dulness of hearing until complete and sometimes
incurable deafness is the result. Discharges from
the ear, generally the result of scarlet fever,
measles, scrofua &c, if neglected, ARE productive
of the general injury both to the mind and body
Of the sufferer, particularly, however, to the hear
ing. Patients have been brought to us for exam
ination hopelessly deaf who in childhood might
have been entirely cured had their eases received
the requisite attention.
Discharges from the ear aside from the danger
to the hearing, is productive of Epileptic Fits,
St. Vitus Dance. Idiocy, Paralysis, and host of
smaller maladies The very disagreeable and
someties very offensive odor attending this COM
plant, should be looked upon a warning voice
of the dangerous condition of the ear Discharge
from the ear we'll as Deafness in children, can
generally be cured by painless treatmen, which
can be applied by the patients themselves at their
own home. Thus can be averted the dangerous
complaint which would impede their future use

that rewards for detection of men en-

as q special tax on the county to which
they shall have been called by the appear

power the taxpayers who shall dare TO
tolerate by their sympathies the perform
snces of Ku-Klux will soon fad out that
such liberation will have to cost them
heavily in penal taxes. While leaving

our solemn duty to see that they leave
