VERMONT AHEAD.-The Woodstock
Standard says it is estimated that the
railroad extension within the Uuion for
1878 will be $500 miles. This would be
an increase of nearly 1000 miles above
the years 1879 and 1871. Calling the
average cost per mile of road $4,000,
and it amounts to 1886. 900, 900 to be ex-
pended this year for this one interest.
To this sum add the amount necessary
to equip these roads, and the total will
not be less than $500, 100000. Among
the Eastern States this estimate is is dis
tributed as follows: Maine, 80 miles !;
New Hampshire, rs miles; Vermont,
100 miles; Massachusetts,, 95 miles;
Rhode Island, 20 miles and Connecti-
cut, 90 miles.

two to three thousand dollars, he had
better by far stay in the East. No one
can afford to be in debt here. Two per
cent per month interest, the common
rate on the frontier, win ruin any man,
financially, in a short time.
Last winter was very severe, and the
fall wheat was badly winter killed, so
that the wheat crop will be very short
here this year. 1t has been cold and
wet during all the spring, and the season
is fully month later than usual The
farmers are still ploughing and planting
corn and will be until the latter part of
this month. This work is usually done
here in April.
Kansas is destined to be one of the
best fruit growing States in the Union:
Peach trees will grow from the stone in
three years large enough to bear pro-
fusely, and it takes apple trees but five
or six years, after taken from the 'nurs-
cry, to become large enough to produce
apples in abundance. The soil and
climate are wellI adapted to growing
grapes and small fruits. Notwithstand-
ing the ease with which fruit can be
raised here there is but little grown in
the State, owing to the chronic laZiness
OF the greater part OF the lnhaBltantS.
Wherever you find New Epglander,
however, upon a farm, you will see a
large peach and apple orchard and small
fruit trees in abundance. Fruit raising
is very profitable, and will be for a long
time yet What is not needed for home
consumption viii find a ready market in
Colorado and Nebraska. We have had
strawberries in abundance for the last
week, and as soon as they are gone,
cherries and raspberries win be ripe
The cherries are already beginning to
turn red and ripen. Wine is made here
to some extent, and, can and no doubt
will be largely produced as the country
grows older.
My communication is already too long
In my next | will speak of some of the
towns and the country about here.

This same report OF the Conference COMMITTEE was

safe to say that no respectable person
will regret that fact. From the fact
that the party itself is doomed to
certain defeat, but little interest at

further than they emphasize its folly.
Its nominations are of no consequence,
as they are merely pins set up to be
bowled over, with the certain knowl>
edge that the operation will prove an
auxilery to Republican success. The
platform, however, possesses some
interest as matter of curiosity, be-
cause it has not an original Democrat
