This society, that for twenty-five years has
been encouraging fruit culture and seeking to
know the best varieties, has Just closed its dis
cussions and exhibition in Boston by ban
quet, Friday evening. September l2th. The
three days meetings were Of great value and
Importance to our country Not every State
was represented, yet from very distant sections
came men and fruit.
will first speak Of Vermont, When this
society held It's last meeting in Richmond, Va.
b Bryant, of Derby was appointed chairman
Of fruit committee, with the duty of appoint
ing five assistants, to make list Of fruit thai
would grow in this State, and make colec-
ton of fruits to send to the exhibition The
appointment proved a judicious one, as it,
duties were performed discreetly. The assist
ants appointed were c. g. Prngle, Charlotte
Sccretrry of the Champain Valley Horticultu-
raj Society j II. Putnam, Grafton, Secretary
Grafton Farmers Club: II. l.. Hurlburt
Grand Isle, and 4, f. Jameson, of the Vermont
Beard of Agriculture.
The lists Of varieties grown in the several
parts Of the State were prepared in August
and forwarded to p, Barry, General Fruit
Commissioner. The first week in September
the specimens Of fruit were gathered, and sent
to Mr. Bryant, and he repacked and sent them
in the care Of Mr.. Jameson to Horticultural
Hall, Boston, Monday night, September sth
Tuesday was day Of preparation in the
Hall IL was the work Of a few hours to set
up the Vermont fruit, consisting of one hun
bred and twenty varieties of apples twenty-six
varieties Of pears, and twenty varieties of crat
apples But here was from Nebraska twenty
four barrels of fruit, and as many more boxes,
Canada West showed largely Of plans, grapes,
pears and apples. Kansas had large quantity
of fine fruit California showed splendid
pears, grapes, apples, oranges, lemons, and
pomegranites. Some of the specimens were
commencing TO decay. Georgia showed well,
and had the largest apple-twenty- ounces
in weight. Ewanger a Barry showed some
three hundred varieties of pears. Smith &
Powell, Syracuse, N. Y, showed largely
Probably President Marshall p. Wilder was
the greatest individual exhibitor, showing four
hundred and four varieties of pears Several
States were not represented.
Although the Vermont fruit was immature,
and therefore lacked color and size, yet it was
4 credit to the State to put in an appearance
For the two years to come, b. Bryant is Vice
President for this State. 1t would perhaps be
tiresome to your readers to follow the course

SuITs SETTLED. The CdiedoHian learns that
the legal controversy between Gen. W. w.
Grout and A. A Earle, ESQ, is settled, by the
discontinuance of Earle's suit against Circuit
in that county, and the dropping Of CIRCUITS
suit against Earle in Orleans county. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Earle recovered against
Grout at the last tern Of Caledonia county
court, and the supreme court having reversed
the ruling Of the lower court 1t was supposed
the case would have to be tried again. We
should say that the settling Of both these cases
was wise.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT On Monday morning,
while one of the employees of the Montpelier
Manufacturing Company, Charles Thurston by
name, was ascending the elevator, the rope by
which it was sustained became eutangled and
parted, letting the elevator drop about sixteen
feet The conclusion which Mr. ThuIston
sustained rendered him insensble for about
twenty four hours, but he has since recovered
his consciousness, and he has now a good pros
peet Of recovery, although the full extent Of
the injury to his spine has not yet been def
nitely ascertained. IL is no more than just to
say that Mr., Ropes. the superintendent, had
repeatedly cautioned the employees of the COM
pany not to ride on the elevator, and had gone
so far as to threaten to discharge those doing
so. The elevator was not regarded as unsafe
for the purpose for which it was intended,
which was the transportation of lumber nor,
perhaps, unsafe for use by individuals but to
guard against any possible contingency the
order was made. On the Wednesday preced-
ing the accident, on the occasion of the animal
meeting Of the company, several of the direc
tors and stockholders made use Of the elevator
in ascending and descending, although this
was done without MIR. Ropes knowledge. Mr.,
Thurston is married man, about forty years
of age
