ESisniarck's Resignation.

have advices from Berlin, from a
source in which | have great confidence.
to the effect that the resignation OF
Prince Bismarck means nothing less
than that the great Chancellor has re-
ceived very heavy check and defeat. |
am assured that the report that this de-
feat and check is due to the absence,
through Illness, of the Crown Prince is
entirely false. This report makes it out
that the Crown Prince is the especial
friend and supporter of the Chancellor;
but am told that so far from this being
the case, the truth is that His Imperial
Highness agrees with his mother, his
wife, and the other members of the fam
ily, in viewing with alarm the conflict
with the Catholic Church which Bis
marck has urged on, and in desiring to
wean the Emperor from his submission
to Bismarcks will. In this they have
now succeeded, says my informant, and
it is probable that the fight with the
church will now be quietly abandoned.
Bismarck attempted to make the Prus-
sian Cabinet entirely subservient to HIM
self-but this did not suit the other Min
listers nor the King either; and when
Bismarck, suddenly recovering from his
pretended illness when he saw his scheme
for swapping the House of Peers defeat
ed, fastened to Berlin and tried to make
the Emperor see through his spectacles,
he found himself too late. The Court,
the Empress, the Crown Princess, the
Kings old friends, the other Ministers,
and the Kings own judgment were all
against him. They all saw that his pol
lev would ALLEVIATE from the throne, the
nobility, the gentry, the clergy, Lutheran
as well as Catholic, and all the cOnserya-
tive interests in the kingdom and the
old Emperor put down his foot and said
he would go no further in the path that
Bismarck had marked out for him. The
Chancellor then offered to resign. ''He
did not believe that the Emperor would
accept it, says my informant; ''he be-
lieved that the Emperor would become
alarmed, and beg him to retain his office
at any price. But the old man went out
of the room for a few moments and con-
suited with Augusta, who was in an adj
joining chamber, and when he came
back his mind was quite made up. Bis
marck might go-his health was not
strong enough to enable him to bear the
double burden of the empire and the
kingdom; he had better be relieved from
the work of taking care of Prussia, and
give himself rest for awhile. You will
see how important and significant IL This
view of the case.

The Baptist Sabbath school of Wal

Sabbath SCHOOL, visit. They met last
Saturday, the 18th, at ten a. m, at their
church. About an hour was spent IN
collecting people and teams together to
form grand start, which they did at
eleven. The party numbered about sixty,
and rode in two two-horse and two four
horse sleighs, and as they passed through
the street they presented very beautl-
ful appearance, and made music with
the iingling of innumerable bells. The
party had been got up, and was, during
the day, under the management OF I'll.

Kelly. They went up on the west side
of Otter Creek, and reached Rutland
about as the "big whistle" was sounding
for noon. The day previous, letter
had been forwarded to Mr.. Mills, inform

welcome from Mr.. Mills and Superin-

thirty. six cents q can, which would not
nav him for his trouble; and there was
no way of getting it to Boston except
through the contractors hands. Did not

pensed with, but thought at present the

AGENT of Milk Consumers Protective AS
ISOLATION. said that from two hundred to
two hundred and fifty cans of milk were
carried from Concord to Boston by way
of Lexington, necessitating transporta-
zion nv wagon for six or seven miles, on
account of the monopoly enjoyed by
contractors on the Fitchburgh railroad.
Captain John B. Moore, of Concord
stated that under the present system
there was no discrimination in price be-
! tween good and bad milk, so that he
could not obtain the fifty cents per can
which, with proper facilities Tor trans
portation would readily be paid by pur-
chasers in Boston. He thought that the
railroad companies would find it for
their profit to undertake the work OF
carving milk, and such a plan would
] greatly benefit the milk producers.
| Straw berries and other garden produce,
were carried last summer by the compa-
nv from Concord and delivered in Fan
ueil Hall market, in prompt and care

railroad would do equallyas well in trans
porting milk.

Farmers ana Agricultural Societies

The following nlntS ABOUT Ine pI"ctI-
cal working of affairs in the Merrimac
Co, n. H., and other agricultural socl-
cites Of the State deserves attention as
well in Vermont as in New Hampshire :;
Can it be wondered that the farmers
do not give the societies and its fairs
more liberal support? Are their sons
who stay at home and carry on the
farms recognized in the management OF
the society? Are they honored with
positions in its board of officers? With
hundreds of young men in the country
who are earning an honest livelihood by
tilling the soil, and who are the equals
in every respect which goes to make up
men, of the city chaps, not one OF them
within our knowledge has been secreta-
~ or treasurer of the society. Year at
ter year they are Inundated by being
excluded from positions in a society that
should be their own. Is it any wonder
shat young men leave the farms As
things have been managed it is absolute
" necessary they should leave farming
and 90 into some other kind of business
if they aspire to fill official positions in
agricultural societies. 1t is plain enough
that unless farmers can have the man
agement of the agricultural societies the
organizations should at once be aban-
doned. They are a positive detriment
TO the best interests Of the State, for
in their operations they say to the farm
ers, you must keep in the back seats.
We who wear brOadClOth and do not soil
our hands with labor, are best qualified
to fill the offices. We will keep the rec
ords and take care Of the funds, and APP
point the committees TO judge your
stock. You may come to the fairs and
bring along specimens OF your truck,
and by conforming to our rules and pay
inc such fees as we may determine upon
you may have the privilege of showing
your tumips and onions, but you must
not NEEDLE with the management. At
ter we have paid ourselves for the labo-
rious duties we have performed, and also
the ty0tttHq purses in fitH, the premiums
on your turnips and onions will be paid
pro rata with what funds there may be
left"
Under the operation of such manage
ment. all fairs and all societies are pos
tive detriment to the farmer and his in
terests, and unless there IS a radical
change. the sooner they are abandoned
the better Let sporting gentlemen and
ambitious politicians seek other fields
for the plying of their yocations. Let
farmers come to the front and have the
control of their own societies, and there
would be no danger of disastrous results.

CHEESE,

Now that the cheese is well out of
first hands and an account of stock
shows that is not superintendent, prices
have begun to advance. The rise has
been fully / cent, and reaches 2 cents
on fancy brands The cable has also
gone back to Cos, and freights are pro-
nounced lower. We shall have lively
market from now to the list of May.
The receipts of cheese at Boston for
the week were 178 boxes. Since our
last there has been more inquiry from
the trade, and for fine factory prices are
fully J cent per ID higher The sales
were at AZ to Is cents for choice lots
of New York and Vermont, and at the
close but few holders would take IS cts.
for their best factory. For fair to good
the sales were at 12 to 49, cents per Id.
In New York there is a better feeling,
with more demand from dealers and ex-
porters, and it seems as if the turning
point in the market has been reached.
The receipts at New York for the
week ending Saturday last were 8,053
boxes, and the exports were 1887
boxes. The cable was Cos. Gold closed
at 1928, and the highest quotation for

A DEFENSE OF THE VERMONT CENTRAL
RAILRoAD.-A correspondent of the
Hartford Couraa2t comes to the defense
of the New London Northern railroad,
and says: The amount of freight traffic
has more than doubled since the Yer
mont Central leased the line. The iron
on the road is not staunch enough to
stand the pounding of heavy trains, and
the rails are to be rclaid as soon as the
season opens. The road has not loco
motives enough to do the work, but
they have been ordered for over a year,
and it is the fault Of the manufacturers
that they are not on the road. The de-
tention Of trains is owing to two causes;
the lack of side tracks and Of telegraph
facilities. As soon as the frost is out,
new side tracks are to be put in at
Montville, Willimantic. South Coventry,
Stafford Springs. etc. At Willimantic,
where the most delays occur, several
trains are often waiting to pass each
other, the freight depot is to be moved,
much filing to be done, and new and
long sidings to be put in. \ telegraph
wire is to be put up very soon for the
exclusive use Of the railroad, with new
offices at many places, such as Mansfield,
Tolland. Three Rivers. etc. The follow
inc story is told Of George 7, Benedict,
the division superintendent of the road;
During the recent storm a freight con-
ductor left his train at Brattleboro. The
superintendent Immediately went there
and himself took the train to New Lon
don, The engineer, who was a young
fellow recently promoted, had been out
all the previous day and night. 1t was
after II o'clock the second night that
they left South Coventry Between
there and Willimantic the superintend-
cEt. who was on the engine. saw the
engineers head 60 bobbing about and
finally go over backward. He stepped
over, took hold Of the throttle of the
engine and ran the train into Willimantic
himself \ sudden jolt of the locomotive
woke up the sleepiugman, who appeared
very much confused. But he was told
to take the firemans seat and get nap.
The experimentation engineer
did the switching and ran the train to
South Windham, when the engineer, re-
frcshed with his little sleep, took his
post again and kept it till they were
housed at New London at o'clock the
next morning.

HORSES VS.. OXEN FOR FARM LABOR. -
It is contended by farmers that oxen
alone should be used on the farm, and
by others that the horse will perform
much more labor in the same length of
time and at a much cheaper rate. Up
on some farms the horse would carry
off the palm of victory, and on Others
the oxen would triumph, thereby show
ing that each locality is the best Judge
of its own requirements. On the hill
side, when a dead pull is required, give
lis the OK; and in the woods, with their
SHOWS, horses make poor work. There
are farmers who have tried the horse
and OK as teams on the farm. Cannot
they tell us their relative value. = Tuf-

sprung up in New Orleans, and so far is
confined principally to the lower part of

the new body proposes INDUCING in the
pleasant pastime of secretly numbering
such Republican officials as may stand

strength, qualifications and personnel of
the murderous gang, and with encourag-
