=. PATRONS DE guUSBANDESE
AGAIN.

We publish, in another column, com
muncation from respected citizen OF this
county, himself I, farmer in reference to
the Patrons of Husbandry. 1t will be seen
that he is bitterly opposed to the organiza-
ton, and gives his reason therefor Like
Oursclf he is not n member of tho order,
but unlike ourself, he is unwilling 10 take
them at their word, judge Of them by their
membership, and await the bringing forth
of fruits before he decides 10 heartily mp
prove or severely condemn. We have CHI
aeayorCd to make our own position In the
matter plain. We arc not member and
do not conceive that We have any moral
hight 10 membership. So believing, We
should not knocl, at their doors for admis-
sion, and il we did we should expect TO he
rejected without much ceremony. We are
not The organ, apolocist or defender OF the
order, neither do we propose to condcmn
them without just cause therefor. We are,
as we said before, unaltcrably opposed 10
secret political societies. We trust that Nc
shall never live to sec the day when It may
become necessary 10 change our views ny
on this subject. We refer, II course, To
secret political societies in the United
States. If the time should come whca we
believe such societies right and proper, it
would be when the liberties of our country
were gone, and a dcspotism had succeeded
government of tie people. We do not
believe that day will ever come. 1t can
only come through Capitalization or by
means OF secret political societies. In re-
ference to the questions propoundcd ly
our correspondent we have nothing to say,
for two reasons. First, because, 50 far rs
we are Informed, they proceed entirely up
ON an assumption and second, because we
can readily understand how their j)rQttSs,d
work can be accomplished without an in
reference in politics. Certainly, 80 far,
nothing has occurred in Vermont to alarm
any one. With here and there an cXccp-
ton. we doubt whether there is single
granger in Vermont that our corrcspon-
dent would not cheerfully vote for. If the
institution is a political one, it is unworthy
of support but so long as the discussion
of such topics are prohibited, the member
ship composed of men of such diversity Of
opinions upon all subjects, a meeting can.
not be held without the presence of wo-
men, and a grange may be composed of as
many females as of males, it does not look
very political, at first sight certainly. We
have deemed it proper 10 say thus much
out Of respect to our correspondent, and it
is, probably, our last 'say' on the subject
for the present at least. We do not pro-
pose to further consider the question, for
the reason that we cannot find much plea
sure or profit in discussing subject in re-
ference to which we arc uniformed.
Neither do we believe such discussion
would be very profitable to our readers IF
we knew their secrets, their workings, their
plans, and could read the heart of man, it
would be otherwise. But until we have
light, we do not propose to exhibit oursef
as fioundering around in gross darkness.

VALUABLE FCE.-The scarcest and con-

for that one the lucky hunter received
$50. Further east, in the Hudson Bay
CompanY's domain, the animal is more
frequently met with, but even there its
skin is a rare and costly acquisition.

EARLY NAvIaATloY.-Th times have
changed somewhat in lake navigation, since
the days when but one steamer ran on our

Mirror of 1916, containing an advertise
ment that A" the new steamboat Phoenix, "
j. Sherman, master, will leave Whitehall
every Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
and st. Johns every Saturday morning at 8
o'clock and will stop one hour at Burling-
ton, in passing each way. This was the
first boat of the Lake Champlain steamboat
company, and was afterward Gin 1870 de-
stroyed by fire. The price of a passage
through the lake by steamer In those days
was ton dollars,
