that taken few weeks since from the Neto
England Earmer,--which seems to us
specially croditable to its writer as well as
agreeable TO ourselves. With ono or two
exceptions, like that Of the Montpelier Ar.
gus, which for some incxplcabo reason will
fully and persistently misstates our position
in regard 10 politics, aud the dab recently
given US by the editor Of the Journal of the
same ilk, on behalf of his brother, Judge
PoIond,) the state press has laid us under
heavy obligations in this way-obligations
which We shall not be slow to recognize
whenever occasion serves. But IL is rare
indeed that q brother editor holds out his
hand in the spirit Of such entire and hearty
good will as does Mr.. Chapman, of the Mid.
dlebury Register, in the following which we
cut from the head Of the agricultural depart
meht of the last number of that excellent
paper.
Our friends of the VERMONT FARMER have
=
trail or populous location Mt Newport, they
have removed TO st. Johnsbury, purchased
out the Times nj that place, enlarged their
paper up to full size of the Boston agricultu-
raj papers, and come out with paper that
the farmers of Vermont may well lecl proud
of, and which they would do well to sub
scribe for ut once In addition to the local
reports from the prominent markets of this
state, they have made arrangements for
prompt reports of produce and cattle markets
of Now York. The farmers of Vermont have
long wanted n first class agricultural paper
and from our acquaintance with DIR. Hos
kius, the editor, and Mr.. Cummings, the
publisher, we know they will publish no 9TH
or but live paper, devoted to the interests
of Vermont farming. Tho price for single
copy is 80 per annum in advance, ut clul
rates much less. If n club of 10 is made, the
price Is only Sl.65. We will take subscrip.
tions and forward to make up such club If il
will send In their names. We do this to nit
in circulating II good Vermont agriculture
paper. As the names need not be all from
| one post office, we hope to receive more thar
one or two clubs of 10. We have some name,
| already assured.
We think we may be excused for copying
notice like that, coming as it does from on,
Of the ablest practical farmers of the state
and here rendering our grateful thanks il
return.

HIGHLY INDIGENOUS.

Chase, of the Lyndon Union, who don't
profess to be pious, and who is no respeeter
of dignities in church or state, thus rrever-
emily lays it to "brother Joseph" the gentle
man whose fraternal zeal led him, a few
weeks ago. to prophesy the sudden and un-
timely demise of the FARMER, because its
columns were opened to the friends of Judge
Steele in the Congressional canvass. We
don't see how Chase dares to talk so.
IN BAD TASTE. five were Judge Poland's
brother, andedited the Montpelier Journal,
we would not print so many letters as that
paper does, purporting TO come from all over
the kingdom claiming for Luke first posi-
ton in Congress IN point of ability, good
looks, personal influence and New England
purity of life. Whether or not those letters
are written In the family and dated ut di-
vers post offices throughout the nation, and
whether they be true or false, matters not.
In the language of Fitzpatrick, 1--WE wish sim
ply to establish the fact that if we were n
brother of Judge Poland, and editor of the
Montpelier JonrRdi-a paper over in the first
district-we would not take so prominent an
interest in the second district nominations,
and claim for Brother Luke character and
influence so much superior to other Con-
gressmon. 1t is in bad TASTE to say the least.
1t would be u more reliable indication of
family merit IL Joseph would let some one in
the second district, outside of the family, do
the double-lcaded praising. We don't con
slider the judge to blame for this. Outsiders
in an animated contest frequently exhibit
more Partially than discretion.

Westminster Town Fair.

The Westminster town fair was held Sat
urday, Oct. 10Th, continued from the day
previous on account of the rain. The mana
gers were very much disappointed in not be-
ing able to present 10 those that were in at
tendance upon the grounds the second day, as
good show ms they had reason TO expect the
first day had tho weather been favorable.
Among the stock entered we noticed II very
good PAIR of fat oxen owned by II. Whitney,
weight 1886 lbs. +; also n pair of steer calves
months old weighing 002 lbs, and well mat
cd, entered by N. q, Pierce, which drew
considerable attention and we'll deserved
praise. Two very fine bull calves, thorough
bred. were entered by Robert Elwell of
Langdon, N. ii. The exercises of the day
consisted In the parade Of cattle, driving
horses In pairs and single, horse trot and
foot race. In the hall the ladies made a
very oreditable display of fancy articles
household goods and relics of the past. The
show offuit was very good. Nj, Page en-
tered forty varieties of apples, -four of pears,
and one transparent crab apple. The ladies
received in all about S75 in return for refresh
ments served to the satisfaction of all who
were wise enough TO partake. The day pass
ed without an accident, and all seemed to
enjoy themselves, especially while partaking
of lie choice viands offered by the ladies.

Railroad men for railroads, farmers for
officers of agricultural societies, and school
men for boards of education, seem 10 be the
right men in tho right PLACES. Adams
Messenger.
Very good ideas; but the farmers, con-
shutting as they do the great bulk of the
population, are beginning to think they have
right to expect something more in the way
Of public positions of honor and trust than
the offices of agricultural societies "Thc
best man for the place." without regard to
his occupation, is the true rule, aud these
best men are rarely found among the wire
pulers who usually get the places. 1t
would be a good plan to let the teachers
elect the board of education, and the farm.
ers choose the board of agriculture. The
appointment system puts many cheap men
in such places because the governor does not
like to say no, or will not take the trouble
to find good men who will not ask, when he
has only to choose among the worthless ones
that harass him with their opportunities.

THE SAN JUAN AWARD.

The Alabama claims have engrossed so
much attention that many people had for
gotten that we had another matter at issue
with our dear mother country" until the
cable informed us it was settled by an award
in favor of the Great Republic If anybody
cares to know what is gained by this award,
let him take the map of North America and
look for Vancouver's Island, on the north
west coast. Under. the Ashburton treaty
with England it was provided that the
boundary line between the United States and
the British Possessions should continue on
the forty-ninth parallel to the middle of the
channel which separates the continent from
Vancouver's Island, and thence sOutherly
through the middle of said channel and Of
Fuca Straits, to the Pacific Ocean. The
negotiators Of the treaty assumed that there
was but one channel. 1t was discovered
afterwards, however, that the space between
Vancouver and the main land embraced sew.
eral channels and several islands, Of which
San Juan is the largest
The British Government claimed that the
channel meant by the Treaty was that of the
Rosario Strait, which lies next to the CONT
nent. The American Government claimed
on the other hand, that the Canal de Haro
nearest to Vancouver, was the dividing chan.
mel. When the Treaty of Washington was
negotiated, it was provided that this ques
ton should be referred TO the arbitration o
the Emperor of Germany. And now, aftel
taking the judgment of his law officers, h,
renders his decision sustaining our claim
and giving us the island of San Juan.
