Clark King, of East Montpelier, an old but
ter dealer, stated before the State Board of
Agriculture at its session in Montpelier last
week, that only thirty per cent. of the Yer
mont butter taken to market ruled as first
class. The St. Adams, VT. butter market
has been pronounced a myth at recent
meeting of the Vermont Darymen's Associa-
ton. The railroad about fifteen years ago
began running refrigerator car which still
runs once a week, passing st. Adams Tues
days. On that day, consequently, the farm
ers bring in their butter and cheese, but there
is no 'market" in its present sense, no col
fusion among sellers and no fixed rates.
Each sells for what he can get. There is the
same custom in all the towns through the
northern part of the State.

correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
gives us some interesting gossip about people
at Washington. Mrs. Williams, wife of the
United States Attorney General, is about the
medium size, not far from forty years of age,
and has light eyes, good figure, and a very
vivacious and inviting address. Williams
himself is man of common sense, and an
excellent legal mind He welds a decisive
pen, and never puts his foot enormously any
where. Boutwell, has a shrewd, economical,
New England wife, who takes care that the
vanities of this world shall not consume his
substance. The rich men of the Cabinet are
Delano, whom some allege worth million,
and Fish, whose family is hereditarily we'll
fixed. Creswell, including his official salary,
has probably an income of $1,000 a year.

Stevens was rarely excelled in repartee. He
was always ready, and his satire was shaper
than bayonets. He tried a case before a
Judge not celebrated for his great wisdom.
Ihe Judge gave ruling that disguised Mr.
Stevens, as his face clearly indicated. docs
the court understand the counsel to express
contempt for its ruling?" said the judge.
''No, may it please your honor, l was trying
to suppress contempt" When the rebels
burnt his iron foundry and property at Gettys-
burg-which they did with a relish-Mr
Stevens remarked: Had Lee burnt up my
liabilities at the same time, | would have
been much obliged to him" A Lutheran
minister of Lancaster left the pulpit and be-
came Democratic politician. lie met MIR.
Stevens soon after, and inquiring about his
health, received an answer: II am very well
take care of my system, and above all
things keep my conscience pure. suppose
you have heard that have abandoned poll
tics and am studying for the ministry"

"Burleigh," the well-known correspondent
Of the Boston Journal, writes: Spending a
little time in Lancaster, l sought out the
homestead in which Mr.. Stevens passed the
greater part Of his life. 1t is of humble pre-
tensions, brick, two stories and attic, and
might serve for any well-to. do-mechanic
Attached to the dwelling is a plain brick
building, two stories high, which was pecu-
liarly Mr.. Stevens home. The two lower
rooms were his law Offices. They remain as
he left them. The rooms are divided by fold
ing doors. The sides of both rooms are lined
with oak book-shelves, and are crowded.
The carpet, frayed and soiled, shows the
wear of years. A wooden Boston rocking
chair was his favorite seat. The lounge,
covered with green Gather, wooden arm
chairs, and huge table have been in use over
, century. The hallway of the dwelling is
large and ornamented with an arch. The
in the rear Of the hall, has not
been refurnished for quarter of century.
The broad stairway leads to Mr.. Stevens
private apartments, which were over the law
omces. parlor and bedroom comprise the
suite. They are just as he left them to make
his last visit to Washington. The dust of
years covers everything, and has never been
disturbed. A few portraits hang around the
room. Ills favorite books line the walls. and
an air OF comfort and homeliness peryades
the place.
He divided with Buchanan, who lived in
the same town, the leading of the bar of his
county. Both were unmarried, both headed
their political parties, and were generally pit.
ted against each other in all great cases. But
IN most things they were unlike Buchanan

ems was plainly republican, homeiy in his
style OF life, open. aided, and gave away all
he earned to everybody who wanted-church-
es, theatres, friends and foes. Buchanan was
exactiDg in his fees, very saving, and died
worth $500, 900, the large portion of which
was in cash securities. Stevens was always
embarrassed, laid up nothing, and what his
estate will bring is yet unknown. His house
has been sold, and his books and furniture
will soon be put under the hammer Mr..

DIFFERENCES OF REPUBLICANS.

DLE r IA GxV(6O OF AEl u OLiCdN0.
The New York Tribune Of a recent date
had a communication from j. S. Pike. in
Washington. under date of the 2lst, of a
very different tone from the most of the
letters and editorials which appear in that
paper of late. A sharper arraignment OF
the Tribune for its course in party point
OF view has not been printed. The ideas
Oh ). 5. r. will be accepted as sound.
lhey are the only ones upon which any
party can stand. When we discard them
we must prepare to abandon all party Or
ganization and yield the government to
the opposition. The independence OF the
Tribune has shown itself in the most un-
fair criticisms and abuse of the admins
tration and its friends, in jealous efforts to
encourage the democrats to shape their
course so as to unite with disaffected re.
publicans, and to make as large a breach
As possible in the republican ranks. Every
day it is doing what it can to strengthen
the convention Of malcontents which is to
meet at Cincinnati. We believe it has
been honest enough to avow lately that il
is not a republican paper. The confession
cost it nothing, for every reader Of any in
tenigence must have known as much be-
fore. The Tribune boasts of its superior
independence, and SO might Benedict Ar.
mold have boosted of his. He was offend
ed because the government did not re-
ward his services as he thought they de-
served, and SO he asserted his independ.

aged his country what he could. The

The Boston Transcript says: "The man
who governs France is much in the situation
of the sailor who caught tiger under tub.
If he don't sit down on him all the time as
hard as he can the tiger will lift the tub and
be out and at him. If he finds the tub lifting
on one side shade, and sits more on that
side to stop it, the beast beneath discovers
letting up on the opposite side of the tub and
has his nose out there instanter. Would not
the man on top sometimes like to take turns
with somebody in governing France, SO that
he might sleep now and then out of reach
and sound of the tiger?

the provisions &c Temperance act of 1870,
petition has been presented in remonstrance
