MENTAL ARITHMETIC.

Just about one year ago, as the
teachers We're entering on their du-
ties for the summer term, we called
their attention to the fact that Men
tai Arithmetic was not receiving It's
merited attention in our schools. The
spring examinations of 1874 have
proven the truth Of our statement, for
the majority who attended the ex-
aminations, and who have oeen pupils
in our schools during the past year,
have failed signally in mental arlth-
metic. There is no branch taught IN
the schools that is worth so much
for mental development as these eX-
eroises in mental arithmetic, then
why not give them more attention.
Several who attended the exami-
nations failed to solve q single prob
lem and the average Of all papers
handed In falls below 43 per cent.
Now teachers and scholars this will
not do. Away with your geometry
and higher algebra until pupils can
solve simple problems in arithmetic.
Let us have a few good old allopath-
ic doses of this mental arithmetic
this summer and then see, next fall,
if scholars and teachers can not pass
q creditable examination in the same.

Lord Dufferin's Speech.

CHICAGO, Aug. II.
During his visit to the board of trade to-
day Lord Dufferin, on invitation of Presi-
dent Howe, made speech, in which he
said he considered the reception he had re-
ceived a striking proof of the frindly feel
ing existing between the United States and
Canada. II would not become him, as
governor general of Canada and simply a
legislator Of the crown, TO express his SEN
timents on any practical question, but
he could say flat the government
Of Great Britain and that of Canada
desired to pursue those policies that would
tend to increase and develope the personal
relations that now bind those powers to
the United States. His government did
not imagine that in any agreement a treaty,
one sided burgain, desirable or possible
and lie believed were actuated by the same
honorable sentiments in regard to Canada.
1t would ever be his most earnest wish to
endeavor to promote the joint interests of
the United States and Canada, and bring
the two countries into closer relations.
Lord Dufferin's remarks were frequently
interrupted by cheers on the part of men,
bers of the board.

Quiet at Last.

New YORK, Aug. II
There is lull in the BeecherTiltou
scandal, everybody wanting to hear from
Moulton. Tilton tells tie reporters that
Moulton's full statement. when published,
will prove his case, and utterly overthrow
Beechers defense. On the other hand,
there are said to be plenty of witnesses,
some of whom have testified before the
committee, to prove that both Tilton and
Moullon have repeatedly declared that there
was no truth in the scandal as originally
published by the Woodhulls, which turns
out to be substantially the same as now
published by Titon, and that both Bcecher
and Mrs. Tilton were entirely innocent of
any criminallty. 1t is stated Oh the best
authority that Moulton vehemently opposed
the raking up Of the scandal by Tilton in
the publication of his letter to DR.. Bacon,
going so far as to threaten to exclude him
ever after from his house if he did 50.
Tilton, however, refused to follow Moul-
tons wishes, though he did consent to so
far alter the letter as to charge an "offencc"
against Beecher instead of crime" as
first written in the letter.

LETTERS ON CURRENT TOPICS
Removal OF the Post OFFICE.

Editor Of tile GloJe The time has fully
come when the removal of our postotlice
to more convenient quarters should be ear
nestly agitated in this community. A very
large majority of the business men of Rut-
land live or do business west of the hill
where it now stands, and also, it is believed
a large ms jority of our citizens who go to
the postotlice, could reach 1t much better if
located on Merchants Row, or near there,
than where it Is now. Only a few business
houses are located east of the postoflice.
Most and the largest of our stores, all our
banks, all our insurance offices, all our
manufacturing establishments, all our print
ing offices, nearly all of our lawyers, most
of our doctors, selectmen's and town clerks
offices, together with the passenger and
freight depots, with our telegraph and ex-
press offices, are down the hill, a long way
west Of the p0stofiice. For all the people.
which these interests concentrate in and
bring to the new part of our village the
business part-this change is important.
To go to the postollice several times day,
as many of us must, far away from our
homes and places of business and business
resort, is, literally, an cup hill,' unjustifi-
able burden, and imposes an unfair disad-
vantage upon the largest share of our com
munity.
do not propose in this article to exhaust
the subject or reply TO real or only spe-
cious arguments in favor of letting the
postoflice remain where il is. ! merely
wish to commence in print the agitation OF
the question of removal. And now that,
fortunately, an earnest friend of Rutland
and of fair dealing is likely to represent
this state in Washington, l feel that
any help he can give us will not be
wanting. The postofllce ought TO be
changed and now is the time to move in
this matter. VINDEx

a shocking murder accompanied by tor
ture was perpetrated in lonely spot in
Colfax county in this state on Sundays A
number of Indians, supposed to be Paw

They came TO the house when the man was
absent and went through it, in spite of the
wifes remonstrances. Finally they at
tempted to take away the family pro-
visions, to which the wife objected. The
two squaws beat her over the head Just
then the husband came in, and seeing his
wife wounded, took his gun and shot one

dong. Twelve of the Indians then en-
tered the house, captured the homesteader,
skinned him, cut bis hands off and his
heart ont A .arge party of pursuers has
left West Point in search of the Indians,
but it is almost certain that they will not
find them.

A Cashiers Defalcatiou and a Crippled
Bank-GrOss Carelessness

BosToN, Aug. H.
The committee appointed by the legisla-
ture at Concord, n. H., to investigate the
affairs of the national savings bank at
Concord has made its report. This is the
bank from which W. w. Storrs, treasurer,
distracted over 10000, the defalcaton be-
coming known in December last. The
committee express the opinion that most
casual examination of the books at any time
during five years would have detected the
fraud, yet Notwithstanding the bank trus-
tees pretended to make examinations four
times year. The evidence tended strongly
TO show that no examination whatever had
been at any time made of Storrs's books by
the president, trustees, or any of the ccm-
mltee of the bank, until after the defalca-
ton was made public. The committee
charge the trustees with gross negligence.
which will not admit of an apology, and
strongly condemn the action of the trustees
in neglecting to institute criminal proceed
ings against Storrs. The committee decide
that the bank is still solvent.

which request was telegraphed to Gen.
McDowall who answered to-day that it
was a matter for the action of the state
authorities, and he could not interfere.
Jones, the leader of one of the factions,
arrived here from Georgetown tonight.
He reports that the Jail where his rival,
Cowley, is confined, is still guarded by
armed negroes. He says that United States

A. BreauX and Laurent Renaudet of this
place returned from st. Martinsvllc this
evening and report that about seven hun
dred citizens Of St. Martins parish were
assembled at the courthouse this morning
and demanded the resignation of all the
parish officers. 1t seems that resistance to
this demand was anticipated, in conse-
quence OF which considerable excitement
prevailed. The officers resigned under
protest, yielding to superior force. No
violence was offered them. Five hundred
of the citizens present were mounted No
serious trouble is apprehended.

Justice Marshall had an old-time business
yesterday (Monday) at the jail, showing
that drunkenness still prevails to some eS-
tent in our midst.
John T Boyle, who was arrested by Po-
liceman Aubertin, for intoxication, was
fined the usual $13.04 and disclosed on one
Andrew Gallagher, who keeps the Wales
street saloon. Gallagher was fined $27.50
for the two drinks and $3.50 for keeping
liquor with intent TO sell. lie appealed IN
both cases, M. Quin as surety.
Esek Merriam of Shrewsbury was found
in an inebriated state and as result was
arrested and brought up His fine amounted
S13.0 and he disclosed on Stephen Mahar.
The latter having been convicted of a
second offense in April last, and not COM
ing to face the third conviction, was not to
be found when the officers went after him.
So the fine still hangs fire.
Michael Landers of West Rutland got on
a spree with his son-in-law from Granville,
the latter furnishing the wherewth Lam
ders made so much trouble that he was
brought up for intoxication was fined the
inevitable 1894, and paid The son-in-
law whom he disclosed on had decampcd.
Mary Kennedy, denizen of Green
street, became uproariously drunk on Sun
day, together with Bridget Waters, and
they made the day hideous in that neigh
borhood until the officers were called in,
when they were both taken to Jail. Mary
was fined $13.0i for intoxcation and 5000
for breach of peace and committed until
she became sober. Bridget had not re-
recovered sufficiently to appear in court
soc city and she still angushes in Jail with
the disclosure on her mind.

The Kentucky Tobacco Crop.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. II.
The Courier-Journal to-day publishes re-
ports from correspondents in fifty counties
of Kentucky, representing 70 per cent OF
the tobacco crop of this state, which ndi-
cate an unparalleled failure of the crop.
From an aggregate estimate it is dednced
that under the most favorable future con-
ditions the crop of 1874 will be only thr-
teen per cent. of the average annual Yield.
