The BENGAL FAMINE.-The last &C.
counts of this visitation give an enhanced
idea of its gravity. The Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Of Bengal informs the Home Gov.
ernment that upward of a million of per-
sons, even now, are starving to death, and
that all the poor classes which means
millions more--are beginning to feel the
want Of food. 1t must not be forgotten
tina. the famine extends more or less Sc.
verely over tho greater part of Bengal,
whose area is 239,50l square miles,with
population-reckouing in the native
states subject to its government of over
3S.O00,000; that is to say, the rice crop
of 1878, throughout nearly the whole Of
this region,was short at the average, and
in some sections failed entirely. The
want Of food, however, is most felt in the
districts of Behar and Patna, on the
Ganges, about three hundred miles north
by west of Calcutta. 1t is estimated that
the number Of people who must be fed,
and for whom supplies must be imported
if they are to be saved from starvation,
will reach eleven, if not twelve millions.
The time for which aid must be extended
in most cases will be about nne months,
as the Same condition of drouth which cut
off last years harvest prevented the au.
tumnsown rice from growing. The
amount of rice supplies required is put at
100000 tons, at GA per ton, which
would make G10,000,000, or 800, 000,.

Middlebury Graded Schooi-Exsmina-


Middiebury Graded School -Exsm,na-
lions.
The exn Limitations al the Graded
School last week, although very quiet
and unostentatious, gave abundant
proof of careful and thorough work on
the part of both teachers and pupils.
1t was made evident that the schol-
ars, from the lowest grade to the high
est, had been taught to THINK, and to
express their thoughts IN their own
language, instead of repeating in for
NAL and thoughtless way the words of
the books.
The examination extended through
the week, in the different departments,
and in the three upper grades was
partly written and partly oral,
A good number of the citizens, in
Guiding five members of the College
faculty, were present at the examina-
tons, and have expressed themselves
as much pleased with their character
and results.
DR.. French, Secretary of the Board
of Education, was present on Friday
and made an address on Friday after
noon, congratulating the pupils on their
beautiful school building and the ex-
cellence of the advantages they were
enjoying, and commencing them for the
good use they were making of the same.
The entertainment given Friday
evening by the Adelphi Society, was
well attended and much cnjoycd. The
characters in the drama, among the
breakers" were for the most part very
well sustained.
The school, during the past year,
has been thoroughly graded, and a
course of study carefully laid out for ev-
cry grade.
In our opinion, and in the opinion of
those most conversant with schools in
general, and with our school in particu-
lar, real progress has been made in ac-
curacy and thoroughness, as well as in
methods of instruction, and we express
the earnest wish of those who have
children attending this school, that
everything may be done to help, and
nothing to hinder its advance till it
shall he, if 1t Is not already, the best
school in the best school house in the

UNITED STATES DISTRICT CouRr.-At
the opening OF the court ID Burlington,
Friday morning the indictments found
against 4 A. Jewett for embezzlemcnt
for false aud fraudulent entries upon the
books of tho internal revenue office were
cRlled up and it was moved by United
States District Attorney F,fcld that the
two indictments be cons oldatod and the
two Cases be tried at the same time.
Messrs. l.. h Chlitendeu aud Levi
Underwood as counsel Tor the respondent
opposed the motionas sn act which would
not only greatly prejudice aud hamper
the respondent III the trial Of his case, but
also a proceeding contrary to law and
justice and enter'ly unsupported by the
case cited in point. Alter full hearing
the court granted the motion, aud both
indictments were consolidated.
The counsel for the respondent then
moved the court for a specification or bill
of particulars Of the various instances OF
embezzlement which the government re-
lied upon to sustain the charge of embez-
element.
The motion was opposed by the Dis.
trict Attorney and John W. Stewart, who
was assisting the government in the case.
The court decided that the respondent
had a right to demand off government
the amount OF the deficit which appeared
upon the books Of the government from
time, but that the District Attorney was
not required to particularize the sum
which the respondent received at speci-
fed time from any particular individual,
out of which he failed to account for any
particular portion. Immediately on the
granting Of this motion the respondents
counsel asked for continuance Of case
to the next term, which the court under
the circumstances, both out Of eonsidera-
ton for the government and the respond.
ent, felt bound to grent, and the next
term.
The case Of tue Government Us Arson
J. Crane was on motion of Henry Bal
lard, who with L. j. Phelps, f. r, Hard
and r. II. Start, is counsel for the re.
spondent, was also continued till next
term. The respondent furnished bail in
the sum Of $50 00-Sl5,000 on the
charge OF mbezzlemeDt and 5000 on the
charge Of false entries, Messrs. Hiry
Derby, of Russell, st. Lawrence Co., N.
Y, and Sylvester Derby, Of Burlington,
being snreties for tqat amount.
The bail in Mr.. Jewctt's case remains
the same, Messrs. Samuel Jewctt and N
p. Bowman, of st. Johnsbury, being his
surities in the sum of $4,000.

THE RAILROADS AND THE FARMERS
The Illinois correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman, gives the following statement
in regard TO the farmers ard railroads 10
that state:
After the lapse of year since the con-
troversv between the railroads and the
farmers broke out, it is satisfactory to be
able to state that at present victory leans
very decidedly so the side Of the tilers
Of the soil, and promises in few months
to be complete and final. The Legisla.
ture has sustained at its adjourned session
the action of the first one, and in addition
has passed several acts which will cut the
bloody claims Of two or three ferocious
monopolies. Perhaps one of the worst
and most unreasonable and cruel, was
that of the Chicago stock yards, where
the poor beasts received tho most barba.
rous treatment, and whore their owners
were compelled to pay two prices for hay
and corn, and were in addition, cheated
in weight and then cursed and otherwise
insulted for daring to make protest.
Hence the Legislature has taken this
corporation 10 hand and will hereafter
regulate. through proper offices, weights
and prices and the conduct OF the concern
Moreover. the Toledo, Waoash Il West
ern Railroad, after having tried the bluff
game aud defed the authority of the
Railroad Commissioners, has at last backed
down, reduced the passenger fare to cts.
a mile, aud otherwise accepted the Com
missioners' schedule The f. w. W.
being an old, profitable and well managed
road, may be said to be a bell .wether in
the railroad flock and | expect to see the
others all jump the same way. Though
weakened by the loss of Col. Cook, the
Board of Railway Commissioners is bring
lag tie railroads of the State to their
senses in compelling from some of them
decep; respect for the Constitution and
laws. Perhaps one Of the best pieces OF
testimony which goes to show that the
majority of tho commission is doing its
duty without fear or favor, is that that
portion Of the press known to be specially
servile to and subsidized by the railroads,
is using the weapon of vulgar personal
abuse against Mossrs. Pearson and Brown
gentlemen whose whole record as pub
lie men is 10 every way respectable, and
whose private lives are blamelcss.
