Pouitney.

We have no incidents, accidents, or
wonderful things to chronicle this week.
Several of your correspondents write
regularly every week, and manage to fill
their budgets; but your Poultney cores
pondent waits for Sc something to turn
up" and when that something turns up,
gives notice of it to the HERALD with
out delay, and with as little comment as
possible, Inasmuch as "nothiug par
ticular has happened since last wrote
you, which, if I mistake not, is near
two weeks, shall be obliged to deviate
from my usual practice, and this time
direct my observations to something be-
sides news and events.
The financial troubles which are over
throwing so many business men and
firms in the country, and producing such
a widespread panic, seem not seriously
to affect business here. The people
complain of hard times, and so they have
for months some few of our slate
quarry establishments put their work
men, as they say, g on less time" and
some few men are discharged but no
indications are yet seen that suffering to
any extent is probable as a result, or
that the progress of their important
slate interest will be seriously retarded.
A. E. Knapp, Gardner Parker, W. Il.
& J. r. Williams, Clark of the Ever
green, and Nicolls of the Eagle, large
manufacturers and dealers in slate, walk
our streets as though nothing had hap
pened, which leads US to infer that this
branch of business here is not as. yet
badly shaken. 49, s.-
The steam lumber mill of Whitcomb
& Co., and the Ruggles Foundry and
Machine Shop, continue business with
their usual force of workmen (abput 80
men each and seem in no wise disturbed
bv the panic or hard times. All our
stores and shops. seem to be. doing about
their usual amount of business; probably
a little less just now, but the difference
is not so much as to be noticed by ordi-
nary observers. tx ~. s.E.s. lf.--e.s
Large quantities of potatoes have been
shipped at our depot this fall. The
raising of potatoes is becoming a leading
product with farmers in this section.
: Butter sells here for 40 cents a pound,
1t has been from to 10 cents higher
here than at most other places in Yer
mont for several years. Here is a inan-
cial question. for the wise ones !; why
should it be higher here than elss-

Just closed. This. school is under the

IS, says: Wednesday was the day
originally fixed for the retirement of
Gen Sickles from Madrid, hut circum-
stances have occurred which will, doubt
less, Justify his remaining at his post.
Admiral Polo, the Spanish Minister
here, BIS communicated message from
hi government, which gives an almost
certain promise OF a.peaceful solution of
the difficulty. al.s-..s. !. .'.E.
The Government at Madrid declares
that it is willing and resolved to restore
the yirginius and yield the other claims
OF the United States government, its
only request now being that the fact
shall be first established that the Nir-
ginirls was entitled to the protection-of
the American flag, =
To this request a courteous but firm
reply will doubtless be returned, to the
effect that the surrender of the Yirginius
and crew must precede all other
measures. TheSpanish government can
in that way only place the controversy
IN a fair way of accommodation. II.
There seems to be little doubt that
Spain will give. up the ship and the sur
vivors, and salute the flag, and thus
place matters in a train for friendly set
tlement. Certainly, there is a better
prospect of peace tonight than there
has been at any time since the seizure
of the Virginius. .s...s..., :.......

Eatc Markets.
CHEESE.

At Utica, on Monday. the market was
better than for some time past, and the
offerings larger than anticipated. They
footed up 1000 boxes, of which $500
were sold at 12k@13c. The ruling
figure was 12Ye. Several offers were
declined. Some of the features Of the
situation are more favorable, but the
cable does not give us good encourage
mcut as would naturally be expected
from the comparatively small stock Of
cheese in England.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last. were %. $40
boxes, andthe exports were %. T4s boxes.
The cable was 67s. Gold closed at 10,
and the highest quotation for cheese
was 14c. For the corresponding period
last year, the receipts were %, $40 boxes.
and the exports were II, 147 boxes. The
cable was 65s Gold closed at 1I3. aud
the highest quotation for cheese was
143c
At Boston the receipts for the past
week have 8, 225 boxes and Il tons. The
demand from the trade continues moder-
ate, and though we quote lac as an out
side price for the finest factory, the sales
have been mostly at 124@131c per H.,
and at close very few buyers are
willing to give over 1870 for any kind.
A better feeling is reported in other
markets, and some holders look for an
improvement next week
AT St. Adams, Tuesday, tie cheese
market was dull; n boxes were shipped;
no prices reported.
At Richmond on Monday, cheese sold
as follows; New milk, S@f0c; skim
