the last election was democratic by some

On the 9th of July, j. l.. Pickering
sold at auction the grass on thirty acres
of land, for price $3.50 greater than
that brought last year for the crop on
the same lot. On some parts it is reek-
oned that the hay will cost the purehas.
er about $50 a ton, allowing nothing for
cost of cutting or chances of loss in cur
ing. A ton of hay on Main street, to-
day, Concord, N. H. is reckoned as
worth $40, or very close to it, and grass
standing in the field as $50 u ton. On
the same day as this sale ton of corn
could be had for trifie less than S3e.
Knowing the value of each article as
productive of flesh, fat, or power in their
cattle and its price, any man can make
his own figures and decide what is the
most economical feed for his stock

A perusal of the above may be the
means of collecting and preserving many
tons of fodder The fodder. harvest will
not end until the Indian corn crop, and
the aftermath of the grass fields, are Sc
cured. If the utmost care is observed
in all this time to gather up every thing
available in the way of fodder for stock,
and to secure it in good condition, humid
reds of tons may be saved that are usu-
ally neglected when the hay crop is
abundant. With such care, the farmer
may possibly be enabled to winter his
usual amount of stock, and have few
tons of remarkable hay to spare at high
prices.
A meagre grass crop has been antici-
pated all over New England, and has
led to the occupation of large amount
of land with corn for fodder, millet,
oats, hungarian grass and clover. The
season, so far, has not been altogether
favorable for these crops, but SO much
has been done, that they will compen-
safe in considerable degree for the
lightness of the grass crop. If the farm
er, therefore, by extra care in collect
ing and carefully making, saves what
under other circumstances he has been
in the habit of neglecting, these short
comings may prove advantageous to him

Again, who knows now, what bless
ings may come by plentiful rains, delay
ed frosts, rich pasture feed and abund-
ant second crops? st is long lane
that has no turn and long drouth
that has continued nearly two years.
Let us not anticipate Inconvenience
that may never arise, but make all pos
sible provision for the future by pre- .erv-
ing what we do have; hold on to our
stock, husband all our resources with
economy, and cherish an unfaltering
trust in Him who ruleth all things we'll.

A Windsor county friend now travel

week in Michigan, writing us on bust
ness, closes with the following, which we
take the liberty Of copying, as being of
interest to many in this section of our
State:
" | find many Vermonters here, at De
troit, and indeed scattered all over this
great west, and among the leading bust
ness men too. Here was the former res
idence of Ephroditus Ransom. who, when
| was a lad on Windham hills, was a
lawyer at West Townshend, and came
to Michigan, was Judge of supreme court,
governor Of the State &c. Below here
and on the line of the Michigan South
ern Railroad, resided John S. Barry
Sargent Barry as in Vermont he was
called once of Saxtons River and
where his relatives now reside, Gov.
Barry | think has been dead several
years, as has, also, Gov. Ransom The
Balch family, once OF Vermont, and now
reside here also, Geo. Kidder a native of
Perkinsville, and son of Rev. II.
Fletcher of Townshend also owns nice
farm near this village (for though larger
than many western cities Kalamazoo de-
clines the honors of cityship)
At Detroit Judge G. |. Walker, once
an attorney at your place, resides and
stands high as a lawyer, John Ward, late
of Springfield, and then States Attorney
of Windsor county, takes front rank
among Detroit lawyers. The Judge Of
the recorders court at Detroit (Swift)
is from Middlebury, and indeed l am
told that at one time six out of the nine
supreme judges in Michigan, were origin
ally Vermonters. Your quandam neigh
Dor Geo. O. Robinson of South Reading.
Is also successful attorney IN Detroit.
So you see what the Green mountains
fail to retain among the attractions of
the east, the great west receives and
uses. AT my side | ask l. A. Brown son
o. |. P. Brown Esq, of Plymouth, who
resides here and is prominent man
about the crops in Michigan, he says
'the crops all over the State are the big
gest In the world, never were better"
Rain, sun and good season makes ev-
cry crop abundant, SO Vermont farmers
will buy cheap next October or Novem-
Der unless railroads charge too high for
transportation. But my page is full, so
adieu. CHG.

ANOTHER EXPLOSION AT HoosAC
Tunnel. There was another fatal ex-
plosion at the Hoosac Tunnel on Tues
day. During fearful storm the light
ming struck the iron rail of the track
which runs from the east end of the tun-
mel to the headingof the mountain. The
fluid followed the track the entire dis

with fearful effect. Two men were in

Another Mining Horror.
SEVENTEEN MEN BURIED ALIVE.


A fire damp explosion occurred at
Pittston, Pa, on Monday morning in the
Eagle shaft, operated by Alva Tompkins,
Twenty men were working in a new
gangway at the time of the explosion
which tore away the timbers supporting
the root, causing it TO fall and leaving
the men imprisoned behind the rock,
with no means of escape until the debris
should be cleared away. Benjamin Da-
Wis, who was working outside the gang
way, was instantly killed by the explo-
sion, The men imprisoned will probab-
ly be dead before they can be reached
OF the twenty working in the mine, II
were employed on the new gangway, and
were imprisoned by the falling roof.
Three Others, working in other parts of
the mine, escaped uninjured.
Later accounts say that s bodies had
been recovered, and there is no doubt
that every one buried in the mine is
dead.
The scene outside was most heartrend-
ing. Thousands of people collected,
among whom were the friends, wives
and children who were weeping and
their hands in the bitterest an
suish, all waiting in hopeless anxiety for
each new report from the poisonous pit.

borrowed all they could, buying yellow
Jacket at 80 days margin, and having
