We heard some one in an adjoining
town, the other day, say that he had found
a tobacco worm nearly six inches long.
That's nothing! We've got them here six
feet long, and they weigh clear up to 200
lbs. The prospect of having Jack Frosts
help in curing the tobacco, leaves "a lin
gering shade of sadness upon the growers
face, which time alone will drive away
providing it's warm time.
MIR. John Bartlett proposes to build a
new barn, and has engaged d. Burnham to
do the work, who has also made very ex-
tensive addition TO his own buildings of

This body held its anniversary this year
with the church at West Halifax, August
Goth and 2lst. An organization was effect
cd by the election of Rev. Mark Carpenter
of South Windham as Moderator, Rev. C.
p Frenyear, of Jamaica, as Clerk, and s.
II. Sherman, of East Dover, as Treasurer.
The annual sermon was preached by Rev.
A. w. Goonow, Wilmington, and was an
able vndcation of Gods justice in the
punishment of tho\ finally impenlteut.
Other sermons were preached by Rev. j.
d. Donovan, of Brooklinc, Rev. j. a. Rich,
of Pondville, and Rev. A. p. Mason, ID. d.,
of Boston, the District Secretary of the
Home Mission Society. Tho latter presen-
ted he vastness and the importance of the
home field. lie stated that in the belt Of
country lining the western bank of the
Mississippi, five hundred miles wide, there
were two million inhabitants destitute of
the means of grace. Each church was rep
resented by letter and delegation. OF the
fourteen churches, eight reported baptsms,
ranging from one to thirty-seven. Total
baptisms, 60; last year they numbered LOG.
Total membership, 1909; a gain Of four
during the year. The Brattleboro is the
largest church in the State. Ten of the
churches have pastors, four supplies; so
they all have preachers at present, but the
South Windham and West Dummerston
churches are soon TO be destitute. All the
sessions of the association were harmoni-
Gus and spiritual, the attendance very large
under the circumstances, and the hospital
tiles of the people of Halifax we're bounti-
full and hearty. Every pastor and supply
was present, and all felt that it was good

In Volume "a, page 3O6, of the Vermont
Reports,will be found the case of Brattleboro
v. Stratton. One Lyman Ballard of STRAIT
ton, minor, whose legal settlement was in
that town, become infected with the small
pox, while temporarily at work in Brattle-
boro. He was sent to "pest mouse" pro-
vided by the selectmen, and cared for until
his recovery. His father, though of sufii-
cent ability, refused TO pay the town of
Brattleboro what it had expended, and suit
was brought against the town of Stratton.
Tho latter town defended upon the ground
that young Ballard was not pauper, and
that Brattleboro should have brought suit
against his father. The case was tried In
the Supreme Court, February term 1852.
Brattleboro was represented by j. d. Brad

DEAR SIR: On Friday night last l had
an opportunity of practically testing the
value OF the Babcock Fire Extinguishers
purchased of you for our line of steamers,
in January. About II o'clock fire broke
out in secluded place over the office, in
our freight house. So rapidly did the
flames spread that at one time thought 1t
would DO impossible for us to save any
part of it. 1 despatched the mate of the
steamer for one of your Babcock Exiting
uishers, and with II the fire was subdued
in an instant. We have some three hun
bred feet of hose and hydIant in front

A CLERK RELATES HIS GRIEVANCE.

To the Editor w. PGniI:
Allow mo TO say few words through
your paper in regard to the late hours our
stores are kept open. In nearly all other
places the size of Brattleboro, the stores are
closed at o'clock, in the cities att, while
clerks who work at stores in this village
are obliged TO work till nine o'clock every
night, Saturdays included. 1t seems as
though an agreement might be effected
among the proprietors of the stores in this
place to close at 8 o'clock precisely, and
think they would lose but little trade by it.
Cannot such an idea be effected, or must
we work along from balf-past six in the
morning till 0 at night? Talk of mechan-
les eight hour law If twelve hour law
was made for the clerks instead of fourteen
hours, they would be satisfied.

There is good deal of importance in the
recent decisions of the supreme court OF
New Hampshiro--one that an unintention-
al error in the description of insured prop
erty does not vitiate the policy, and the
other railroad companies have no right to
give any person or corporation the exclu-
sive privilege to transport express matter
over their lines. This is good blow at
express monopolies, which have the carry
ing business all their own way and at their
own prices.

Sandbank, Rice Bird and Billy were dis
tanced in the first heat, and the race was
easily won in three heats by Mcmahon.
Time 2.492; 2.4Sf 2.454. During the prog
ress of the race protest was entered against
Mcmahon, it being charged that he had a
better record than $50, and hence was sail
lug under false colors. He was allowed to
finish the trot, however, and the matter is
now awaiting decision. Should the charge
against Mcmahon be sustained, the first
purse will go to Dagger, the second 10
Sleepy Dick, and the third to Honest Fred,
that being the order sustained by each.

Prince Allen, better time would have been
made, and possibly the result would have

first two heats and second in the third heat,
and was awarded the second money. Mel
lie held the fourth position in the first heat,
the second in tine second, and the third in
! the third, and won the third money. Black
| knight was not in a fit condition to trot,
and ought to have been withdrawn from
the race, but the Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty to Animals evidently had no
representative on the grounds. The races
were greatly lacking in interest and excite
| ment because of their one-sidedness
throughout, and the whole thing was voted
tame, by the spectators generally. The
presence Of a band would have added much
to the pleasure of the occasion, but none
was provided, on the score of economy. 1t
will doubtless ford satisfaction to many
both present and absent,-though we don't
class ourselves with the number-to know
that the receipts fall short of the expenses
by about $1,000. Pool-selling was net live
ly. There was not much drunkenness tC
be seen, and the police made no arrests. A

wound up the proceedings.

CONGRESSIONAL VERAcrTY.- Provi-
dence journal expresses the general senti-
ment in regard to the Congressman impli-
Gated in the Credit Mobilier affair, when II
says: "What has produced the worst i'm
preston on the public mind throughout
this whole affair, is the astonishing failure
in veracitv which has been constantly ex-
hibited from the beginning to the end.
Several members of Congress have in this
way brought on themselves reproach
which they would have wholly escaped, If
at the outset, they had told the whole truth
without evasion and without suppression Of
any part. They have made people think
that they were ashamed of what they had
DONE and were unwilling to have it known,
since very few of them have told story
which they did not afterwards modify a.
gain and again. The fact that Cakes Ames
appears 10 have told the truth helps him
more than anything else in popular esti ma
ton, though in other respects he Is the
greatest sinner of all. There Is not one
among them who would not stand vastly
better to-day in his own estimation and in
everybody's else, il he had simply told the
facts nj the very beginning. This is oae of
the great lessons taught by the Credit Mo-
bilier Investigations, and ii is one which
ought to he remembered though all the 9TH
ers are forgotten. There are no men to
whom the slightest prevaricatiOn or attempt
to deceive brings swiiter injury than men
in public life. Much as the world is given
to lying, everybody condemns lying in ev-
erybody else, and m st of all in those who
hold public stations. In this case more than
half the wrong which has been done con-
sists in having told at the beginning some
thing less than, or different from, the whole
truth"
