The republicans of Vermont should
at once organize in every town in the
State, with view of bringing out a full
vote in September. Already in several
towns Grant and Wilson clubs have been
formed and the people have cordially
responded. AT st. Adams last week a
paper was circulated few days and
over three hundred names were prompt
ly put down, and the club was organized
by the election of Col. r. G. Benton as
president. At Springfield quite num-
Der of republicans are announced as for
Greeley, and indeed it is claimed that
there are more republicans in that town
for Greeley than in any other town in the
State; however that may be it is now
ascertained that some of the fifty claim
ed are democrats Gas usual in such cases
this year, and ON this state of things be-
ing proclaimed, the republicans put up
a paper in the post office on which 10
give expression for the presidential pref
erence, and in short time over two hun
dred and fifty had promptly and volun-
tarily put down their names for Gen.
Grant. And SO it is going to be till No
vember. Those republicans who at first
hesitated or thought of supporting their
old Tribune friend, now that he assumes
to be the leader of the democracy, hest.
tate no longer, and fall into line with
the grand republican union army, and
thus with united front will march against
the common enemy on the first Tuesday
in November.

NECESSITY OF GREEN FooD TO Fowls
The first requisite in the shape of diet
is regular supply Of green food. Here,
again, fowls kept on grass will need no
attention; but for birds penned up, the
daily provision of it is an absolute neces-
sity, though most beginners are ignorant
of it. We we'll remember, in our own
early experience, how our fowls died, we
could not at first tell why and one fine
buff Cochin cock, whose only fault was
a strong vulture hook. was, in particular
greatly regretted. An experienced friend
let US into the secret and after that we
had no difficulty in keeping fowls, even
where it is often said they cannot be
kept in health-yiz., in a yard paved
with large flag stones. The best substi-
tute for natural grass is a large fresh
turf thrown In daily to each four or five
hens and even in towns it is often pos
sible to procure this, by giving children
few pence every week to keep up reg
ular supply. Where turf is not allowed
to be taken, grass may be cut and pulled
but in this case must be cut into green
chaff with shears or a chaff machine
The latter plan is how we actually man.
aged for years in yard only IS by 81
feet, divided into six pens paying some
child a few pence to bring fresh cut grass
daily, cutting it up and mixing it with
their soft meat.-Er.

in one of the rooms. While they were
in young Weston's room one Of the men
took his pocket-book for his own use,
After taking the funds from the bank,
the captain asked Mr.. Weston if any of
them belonged to him, and said if they
did he should have them back, as they
did not wish to take any Of his property
Thereupon he told the captain of the
incident in his room, and he was told he
should have the pocket-book back, and
before the party left it was returned, but
upon subsequent examination it was
found that some twenty-five or thirty
dollars in bills had been removed.
The affair took place between two and
three o'clock Saturday morning, and the
robbers left the house at about half
past three, saying that they should leave
a guard to see that they gave no alarm.
After sitting awhile in the uncomfortable
position in which they were left, the lit
tie girl managed to get her hands out of
the cloth that bound them, but was
afraid to move round. Mr.. Weston also
managed to get his arms from behind the
chair, and after considerable difficulty
stepped through them backward, and
the girl cut the cords round his legs and
those that bound the others. Quick
work was also made of the gags. BY
this time it was daylight, but the women
were so frightened that they would not
let Mr.. Weston give the alarm until
about half past five, when he managed
to attract the attention of a milkman
and the alarm was at once given and the
neighbors focked in, but nobody had q
KEY to fit the handouts, and the pros
pect was that they would have to be FL
ed off. Fortunately at this juncture the
girl got up, and Mr.. Weston noticed 8
peculiar looking key under her, and il
was found that it would unlock all the
handouts, and the captives were at lib
erty once more.
The directors of the bank have Offered
reward of $4,000 for the direction anC
conviction of the robbers. The banl
has a surplus of over $4,000, and con
sequently the loss of $4,000 will no
embarrass it at all. If the robbers hat
waited till Monday they would undoubt
edly have captured more, as Tuesday
pay day at the mills in the village.
1t is thought that some of the gam
were in or about the house the night be
fore the robbery, as the little girl hear
some noise the previous night and got u
to see what it was, but finding nothing
, concluded it must have been cat. Abou
10 o'clock on Friday evening Mr.. We
ton heard two peculiar whistles, sof
, clear and smooth and called the after
!. ton of some Of the family to them.
q neighbor also reports hearing the sam
whistles, but failed to see anybody, an
thought no more of it until after the rol
berry was discovered.

GREELEY's OPINION OF HIS Party.

Greeley thus wrote of the Democratic
party. Now he asks the men composing
it to give him their votes:
"It is rebel at theScore to-day. hardly

Johnston, Bragg, Hood and Price, and
the consequent downfall of Its beloved
confederacy, with its traditional faith in
Divine Providence. 1t would hail the
election of a Democratic president in

the following story, some of the parties

"Society at West Rutland; VT, and
Cleveland, Ohio, is stirred to its deepest
depths by the particulars of a very sad
affair in which the names of two very re-
spectacle families are involved. 1t seems
that few years ago wealthy gentleman
named Barron, resided in the former
place, aud believing truly enough that
there was a world of wealth concealed
beneath the mountains of Vermont in
the shape of pure white marble, he be-
gan the task of getting it out for mar
ket. The business was then in its infan-
CIV and was not so we'll understood as it
is now. Mr.. Barron failed and was re-
duced to comparative poverty. He had
two daughters. In the days of his prosper
ity he had been to them fond and indul-
gent parent, and had given them an ed
ucation which would have fitted them to
adorn any society in the world. One of
the young ladies, with heroic fortitude
and devotion, determined not only to
support herself but to do something FOR
the maintenance of the family, and push
ing out to Cleveland, soon succeeded in
finding employment as teacher. 1t is
seldom that girls of resolute will fall
preys to the tempter. But it seems Miss
Barron met her evil fate there in the
person of young married man named
Williams, the son of wealthy gentle
man, though he himself was bankrupt

ROmaaoe Of Crime.

From the Akron (Ga,) BeacOh.l
Our readers will remember a burglary
which took place some weeks since, in
which two brothers, Charles and JOSEPH
Aman, while in q state Of intoxication,
broke into the house Of Mr.. r. w. Grant.
and stole therefrom some sixty dollars
worth Of property. Both parties were
arrested, and at the recent term of the
Court of Common Pleas arraigned for
trial Joseph Is a young man, aged
nineteen, Charles about twenty-One;
the latter having a young wife aud one
child. From the first, Charles wife has
made every endeavOr 10 procure his re-
lease, devoting herself to the work with
the most untiring zeal. Finally, in re-
sponse to her repeated solicitations, the
prosecuting attorney, whose heart is al
ways open to appeals OF humanity,
agreed not TO prosecute her husband for
burglary, providing the younger brother
would plead guilty. To the surprise Of
every one, the young man agreed to
this, and accordingly, upon arrsignment
Charles pleaded guilty TO petit larceny.
When questioned a. to his purpose in
doing 80, he signified his entire willing
ness to suffer the penalty FOR the sake of
his brother. This reply, unexpected As
1t was, yet given IN q firm, unshriuking
tone OF voice, completely unnamed the
Judge, and when he came TO pronounce
the sentence Of three years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary his voice COM
pletely failed him, and his eyes filed
with genuine sympathy. Nor was this
expression OF sympathy confined TO the
Judge, members OF the bar and specta~
tors alike being affected by the scene.
1t was an incident which will long be re-
membered by those who witnessed it.
Though the burglary was wholly mex
cusable, yet certain extenUating circum-
stances 70 the case, especially with re-
gard to Joseph, combined to render the
act OF the young man a little piece Of
herOism which elicits surprise II it does
not challenge admiration.
