Nearly everybody supposed that he [Al.

This is hard year for political "jobs" IN
Vermont. Read this from the ArrS: 1.-THE
Governor returned, with his veto House bill
III, to incorporate Il 4 7. Fairbanks & Co.,
refusing to approve Of it on the ground that
it exempts the firm from taxation, aud grants
special privileges not accorded to other cor
porate firms and partnerships. On a roll
call, the House sustained the veto by reIus.
in1 10 M hn la
governor winds up his veto by saying that,
in his opinion, the bill establishes a prece-
dent of special legislation of dangerous aud
mschievous tendency This action of the
governor is worthy Of the utmost commenda-
ton" The farmer judge whom the people
have elected as their governor this year has
mind and backbone of his own. We can
trust bin.

them, at Sl3. When they compare these
prices with the regular retail prices, they

Of course the committee do not disclose the
names Of the several houses from whom
these goods are obtained, but all members
Of the order, or Patrons of Husbandry, or.
dering through the council, can have full
benefit Of these prices. We understand the
committee require portion Of the purchase
money to be advanced with orders, but any
garment proving unsatisfactory may be re-
turned and the money will be refunded, less
cost Of freight or express one way. What
better can one ask ?
VIM. Robinson waived examination aud
was returned TO jail to await his trial for mis-
share in the row of the l4th, in default Of
$500 bail He said he bought bottle Of
liquor of Aldrich in the morning. He says
he would rather be in Jail than not, as he
cannot refrain from drinking when he is
where he can get liquor. There are plenty
Of human fiends who will sell to such man.
Robinson sawed two or three bars in his
cell in the Jail last week. He says he don't
know OF any law to prevent him getting out
Of Jail it he can.
