the size of the yield is reported, it
is from eighteen to twenty bushels

illegible hand. The owner of a
small building situated Oh the land
belonging to the road having receiv-
ed a scrawl from him which he could

WE are glad we hay'nt got any

fifth Of the general average of the
last half a dozen years.
Many of the large hotels at the
White Mountains have more SER
wants than guests, while at the
the beaches on the Atlantic coast
the hotels are half full. The small
er hotels, where prices are not so
high,a doing better, but only few
fthem will make ''bOth ends meet"
at the close of the season.
This decrease is easily accounted
for. The small amount of trade
and scarcity of money have COM
PEELED men in all kinds of business
to study economy. They have there
fore sent their families to the coun-
try boarding houses rather than to
hotels. The only remedy seems to
be for the proprietors Of the large
hotels to do away with many of
the superfuous surroundings which
add greatly to the expense of run
ming their houses, and thus reduce
expenses so as to afford board at re,
duced prices.

The NEW PENSION LAWS. The
following changes in the pension
laws were made during the last ses.

Total Disability-lmcrease Of Pen
sion. All persons who while in the
military or naval service who were
so permanently and totally disabled
as to require the regular presence,
aid, and attendance of another per
son, to have their pensions increas-
cd from $50 25 to $50 per month,
commencing June 4, 1874.
Partial Disability Increase of
Pension. Persons who are now Ell.
titled to pensions under existing
laws, and who have lost either an
arm at or above the elbow, or a
leg at or above the knee, shall
be rated in the second class, and
shall receive twenty-four dollars per
month, commencing June 4, 1874.
In order to obtain the benefit Of
CHS act pensioners have only to re-
turn their certificates, accompanied
by a letter giving their post-office
address, no formal application being
required. No medical examination
will be ordered, excepting in case
where the evidence on file fails to
show the point of amputation.
Pensions Granted Under Special
Acts. Persons entitled to pensions

Of such pensions, and now receiving

Pensioners who were on the roll
by special act,the act fixing the rate

class of pensioners, on the same
footing as other pensioners, so far
as rating is concerned, but does not
grant arrears, the increase dating
from June 6, 1874. The return Of

The Rutland Herald in a lengthy
article, which is copied into the
Waterman, comes out strongly in
favor of Judge Poland and seems
to take it for granted that he is to
meet little or no opposition; in fact
says that the ''second district is to
continue him as their representa-
tive.' We think it will injure the
chances of Mr.. Poland's return for
his friends, especially Of another dis
trict, to interfere in the matter, and
speak so confidently of his re-nom
nation. When the freemen OF the
second district do not consider
themselves competent to make their
own selection for representative,
they will probably go to Rutland or
Montpelier for advice. At present,
however, the advice is not thank
fully received, although it is given
free gratis for nothing. In mention
ing the possible competitors of
Judge Poland in the convention the
Herald ignores the name of the
probable principal one. The ques-
ton Of who shall represent the
second district is not settled yet and
will not be until the day of the
convention.

The Question Of Wages

The following excellent article,
which we find in the american Re-
porter, was written for the benefit
of printers, but will apply to all
glasses Of labolers:
"The speech of Mr.. Gladstone, of
which brief mention was made a
few weeks since, has excited no lit
tie comment, one of the daily papers
of this city making it the subject of
an extended article. 1t appears to
to us, in all speeches we have heard
or read upon this question, that one
important matter has been almost
invariably overwhelmingly, the
proper use of wages after they are
earned. To a man who spends every
dollar of his income, after paying
his actual and necessary expenses,
in foolish and sometimes vicious in.
diligence, it is practically of but lit.
tie moment whether his income be
ten dollars per week or fOrty-he
will, unless he reforms, always be
the same needy person. That emi
nent fnancier, Mr.. Micawber, fully
understood theoretical finance, if
he did not at all times practice it,
when he propounded as the means
of obtaining competence and happi'
ness, his two pound, five shillings
and sixpence problem. olive with
in your means" is the best advice to
give to any one-workingman or
otherwise. Compositors and press
men generally receive fair wages,
and if they were always judiciously
and prudently handled a great pro-
portion of the poverty that now ex-
lists would disappear. This may be
plain talk, but that there is a ne
cessity of it all candid printers will
admit who have given the subject
proper thought. We do not wish
to be understood as favoring low
rate of wages; on the contrary, we
firmly believe in the policy of en-
ploying good workmen and giving
them fair compensation. Neither
do we wish to be understood as ex-
pressing the opinion that this i'm
providence is general. There are
notable examples of thrift among
workmen in the trade, and they al.
most invariably succeed in making
a decent competence, if not for
tune, but they are by no means as
numerous as they should be among
a body of men possessing the
amount of intelligence with which
printers are generally credited.
Habits of economy and thrift are
of more value than high wages, and
tho sooner members Of the craft ac-
quire them the sooner they will
place themselves upon the road to
competence and decent self-respect."
