Political Notes.

Governor Palmer of Illinois, has
published letter declining to be a can
didate of the republican party for re-
election; also declining to support Gen.
Grant for denomination.
The following dispatch was sent
from our delegation to the New York
meeting. Mr.. Smith was absent or he
would undoubtedly have joined with his
colleagues:
"The Vermont delegation in the House
will all support the nomination made at
Philadelphia, and they have no doubt
that the entire republican party of Yer
mont will do the same heartily.

OBITUARY. 1t is with sorrow we
learn of the sudden death of the estim-

CURED on Saturday last, under the fol
lowing circumstances On that even
ing about seven o'clock, while making a
call at the residence of Rev. A. Z. Dun
ming pastor of the Congregational
church, at Boston Highlands, she was
seized with an apoplectic fit, and after
lingering in an unconscious state until
four o'clock on Saturday morning she
died.
1t has been our pleasure to have met
Mrs Stockwell several times within
few years past, and was impressed with
her intelligence, pleasing conversation,
sympathetic and generous nature, and
hospitality to her friends and those of
her husband. She is reported to have
been a woman whose sterling character
and exemplary virtues had won for
her the cordial respect and warm friend
ship of a large circle of acquaintance.
She had made many warm friends in
Vermont during her temporary visits to
our State, who will be sorrowed to hear
Of her sudden decease Imbued with an
earnest christian faith her hand was
given freely to every good work and her
influence was largely felt in the religious
circle in which she moved In her home
she exhibited those qualities which give
to domestic life its best influences and
highest charms. We tender her bereav-
ed and devoted husband our deepest
sympathy in this sad bereavement, and

Variety Of Food for Hong

In an experiment detailed in Deitz' s
Farm Journal, where hogs were fed on
cooked potatoes and oats, the excre-
ment showed by the iodine test that q
large portion of starch was passing off

amount of peas to the feed caused all
the starch tc be appropriated to the
animal economy. Experience has de-
monstrated that variety of food is

Orchard Ora So

A correspondent writes to Moore's
Rural New Yorker, saying that he has
had no experience with orchard grass,
and asking how often it needs renew
ing. We have received some inquiries
of character similar to the above,
and the answer of the New Yorker to
it's correspondent viii be sufficient for
inquirers asH
" Orchard grass has perennial root,
and needs no renewing. It is a grass
that abides well where it is once estab-
lished. and for that reason is vastly
better than timothy for mixing with
red clover, and is therefore ready to
cut with the clover. 1t is a grass that
has been far too long neglected in this
country by the farmers, both as a pas
ture and moving grass" 5.-.t..g

A Folding Chicken Coon.

At the Ohio State Fair we saw a col
lection of poultry, consisting of fifty
varieties, owned by one exhibitor, all
contained in handsome coops made in
one pattern. The coops were the SIM
plest and most easily constructed we
have anywhere seen, and there is not q
nail in them. They can be taken apart
and piled up when not needed, taking
up very small space.
The front and back are alike, and
consist of two strips Gan upper and low
er one) held together by wooden rods,
placed at proper distance apart. At
each end of these strips is a tenon
which passes through mortise in the
side boards and is secured by a key
which holds the sides in their places by
small round pins, which pass through
holes made to correspond with the side
boards. -s4 p.
The coops are held together by the
keys in the lemons of the front and
back pieces. When these keys are
knocked out the coops fall apart and
may be packed away. There is no
patent on these coops, which is not the
least of their merits. They are easily
transported, and allow the fowls to be
seen to the best advantage. Am

from various portions of the State ask
ing the best means of DISCRIMINATING
them. The season of 1871 was one of
many experiments in this regard, and a
careful examination of the results
achieved by the many Hlnfallible"
preventives of the ravages of the beetle
shows that, in any preparation which
has been at all satisfactory, Paris green
has been main constituent. In small
potato patches it may be possible, with
care, by constant picking to keep the
vines clear of the bug but in fields of
any considerable dimensions this is an
impossibility, and probably the best
exterminator that has been devised is
the mixture of Paris green and -four in
the proportion of one part of the former
to ten of the latter. The best time for
the application of this is in the morning,
when the dew is on the vines. Some
farmers prefer sand or other substance
as substitute for -four, but flour is
the best ingredient that can be obtained.
