There is a good demand for money, both on

We quote call loans at SOC per cent. on good

There is rather an unsettled feeling in financial

Tammany's Latest Tactics.

At first Tammany tried to buy out the
New York Times office, and offered cool
million for the concern. No use. The
Times meant "war to the knife" not after
the Worldly fashion, but in downright
earnest. The only reply to the million
dollar offer was the publication of the IA
nous transcripts from Tammany's account
books. Ever since, Tammany, unable to
answer the terrible Indictment, has been
trying to put the witness out of the way,
by fair means or foul. The last move is
characteristic of Tammany, and worthy
of it's cut-throat tactics.
1t has commenced an ejectmant suit in
behalf of the city against Mr.. George
Jones & Co., the alleged owners of the
Times building, the lot Of which is claim
ed as city property. It is said the ground
was given by the city in 1865 to num-
Der of Presby terian gentlemen, who built
an old brick church thsreon, the condi-
tion of conveyance being that it should
be forever devoted to religious uses, and
to purposes of cemetery, and that it
should revert to the corporation in case of
it's not being used for these purposes.
The Aldermen, it is said, will pass a reso-
upOh tAC CANJ "oNhSAi"'~7 ~
carry on the suit to recover the property,
which is valued at million dollars. 1t is
said on the other hand that the ground
was purchased by the original proprietors
of the Times directly from the trustees
of the old brick church; that reverelon
was at the same time purchased from
the city authorities and that full con-
sent of the latter as well as the State
Legislature to the transfer was obtained.
This move is worthy of Tweed, Sweeney
& Co, but it confirms the guilt Of the
party, and is tacit admission that they
cannot meet and answer the charges made
against then. The effect of this style of
argument will be most damaging to the
democracy. The whole State is intently
watching the motions of the democratic
managers The conviction grows firmer
each day that the worst has not beon told,
and it will only add to the general distrust
when it is seen that instead of meeting
the charges, Tammany not only avoids
answering them, but seeks by foul means
to undermine the legitimate and private
business affairs Of newspaper which has
exposed their monstrous populations. We
shall begin to believe soon that Tammany
has even less brains than honesty.

The Brattleboro Gas Company have

"A reward of $500 has been offered

detection of any one setting a fire in the

The Sunday School connected with
the Baptist church, held their annual
picnic recently at Hunts Grove in YER
non. The number in attendance was
large. Croquet playing was among the
amusements of the day.
A spirited controversy has arisen
among the Good Samaritan Societies, in
reference to the sale of liquor, one party
taking the ground that moral suasion had
been used long enough toward the liquor
sellers, and advocate that the law should
be brought into use to compel them to
close their bars, and as the votes of the
town did not do it, the Good Samaritans
should. The party Of the second part
take the position, that such action on the
part of the Good Samaritan would only
injure the cause, and be the means of
making many who are now doing well
fall back in their old habits; and that it
was not the duty of tho Good Samaritan
to use force or violence, but heal and lift
up, but If any plan was put into operation
by which force was to be used to close the
bars, the influence the Society now pos
sesses would be greatly lessensd, and the
community would lose the interest it now
has in its workings. B. F. Bingham
spoke very earnestly on the subject of the
proposed new departure, and hoped for
the sake Of those who were trying to re-
form, that no such action would be taken
by the Good Ssmaritans as a Society.
The fall term of our village schools
begins September 4th, at 8 O'Clock in the

course, set out from the Montvert Hotel.
This splendid establishment has become
the centre here-everything seems to run

Coy Hill has been known as such since
from about the time of the first settle
ment of the town. Beniamin Coy settled
there aa early a7 1889. He had a nu-

early day settled around him. and hence

for about half mile, when [ came to q
road which turns to the right and leads
to the hill. With the locality at this
point I was familiar in days gone by,
which the people of Middletown would
concede If they had my real name instead
of my nom de plume. Here I sat down on

ton.

The annual session of this religious
body was held with the Baptist church,
in Ira, Aug. 80, 1871, Rev. E. Mills of
Rutland, in the chair, and Rev. Ell. L.
Grose, of Hydeville, Secretary. Commit
tees were appointed on arrangements, on
next meeting of the Association, on the
State Convention, on benevolent objects,
on obituaries, and on the the state of re-
ligion in the churches composing the as
sociation The annual sermon was deliy-
cred by Rev. E. Mills, and other sermons
were preached during the session by Rev.
D. Spencer, of Fairhaven, and Rev. j.
Goadby, D. D., of Poultney. Letters
from the churches were read, containing
statistics and ether desirable information.
The additions to the membership were as
follows: By baptism, 80; by letter, 80 /;
by experience, 5; total, SS.
An hour was given to the discussion OF
the question "How can we best secure
the general attendance of the peopls upon
the means of grace ?" A sermon by Rev.
Mr.. Spencer, in the evening, closed the
proceedings of the first day.
Thursday morning, Immediately after
the opening of the session, reports from
the several committees were received aud
adopted and among them was one from
special committee, providing for an
extra associational meeting at West Paw
let, on the first Tuesday ia February,
1872, at 2 p. m
A standing resolution was passed re-
questing the Churches to report yearly to
the Association the amounts raised for
benevolent objects. Resolutions were
passed commendatory of The American
Baptist Publication and Bible Society,
and also of the Education societies of
other States, from which number of
Vermont students are receiving financial
aid. A vote was taken, by rising, express
sive of the thanks of the Association TO
the Church and community of Ira for
their generous hospitality, and to the
choir for their acceptable services.
The reports, for the most part, elicited
very spirited and interesting remarks,
and the reading of the resolutions with
reference to the Publication Socisty was
followed by remarks illustrative of the
.Society's missionary work, wits but an
allusion to its business department,
The attendance on this anniversary
(which closed on Thursday at 1918 was
comparatively small, oviag to incessant
rains, but all the proceedings and exer-
cises were of pleasing and profitable
character. The church in Ira deserves
much credit for the Improvements recent
ly made in their house of worship. For
it's internal beauty, am informed, they
are indebted to the fine taste of Mr.. A. Fl.
Tuttle of the HERALD establishment.
There are few neater country church edi-
fees. The pastor, Rev. L. Kinney has
been greatly afflicted by disease Of the
eye but ana happy 10 say he is now re-
covering, and will resume bis lsbors next
Sunday He has been in Boston several
weeks under medical trestment, and only
returned on the evening of the hr.t days
