An Old House in a New Place.

The dry goods trade of the Northwest will
find their old friends, JOHN V. FARwELL & Co.,
Chicago, in their new, substantial, fve-story
brick store, 45x19O, at 247 and 249 Monroe
street, with complete lines of goods in every
department. They are also erecting a five
story brick store adjoining this, go feet by 100
feet, to be completed by February, to meet
the demands of the spring trade, when they
will have over three acres of floor room-a
larger space than is devoted to the wholesale
dry goods trade by any house west of New
York. Twice burnt out within thirteen
months, and each time charging their bust
ness plans and increasing the volume of their
rity, upright dealing, and for keeping their
promises, is the heritage and pride of Chicago
and the Northwest.

The burlington Free Press IL much dis
satisfied with our attempt to clear up the
charges against the averaging committee,
and has criticised it with more of sharp
nesa than sound judgment. 1t describes
our article as IAN abstract calculation
based upon a faliacions standard - and
again affirms that It "gives To clue to
actual values" We are surpris ID, not
that the Free Press rem aims unConvinced,
but that its alleged reasons for remaining
so are totally four standard

worked out from it agreed, with but
slight variation, in all the counties, with
the results obtained by the listers and

CURED by law? If "the proof Of the pud-
ding is in the eating" the proof of our
theory is TO be found in its fruits when
tested by the legal standard. 1t certainly
has stood that test admirably; and being
thus proved as a whole, it is good in the
details, and is fairly admissible to show
that Chittenden, Franklin and Grand Isle
counties have been Justly treated.

dation for the benefit of Chittenden
county. Our standard" was based upon
three asoertained facts: population, sore-
age OF iand. and the lowest assessed value
per acre. In all this there was nothing

fault or flaw except that it asserts there
are such variations in the proportions of
population to acres or to values, as to re-
Quire variations among the counties in
results, before reaching either an socur-
ate equaliz alton, or actual values. We
admitted part of this we claimed only
that our test was near approximation to
actual values, we claimed that there
must be allowances, or variations, in the
