"a Small Potato "

To the Editor of TIE CARBON ADVOCATES:
SIR,-I overheard "little" thing the
other day which, on account of its "small-
ness" 1 thought worth while commu-
nicating to you, A taxpayer, who had
$500 School and Building tax to pay,
grumbling at tn" he"enormity''of his taxes.
Upon enquiring 1 found that he had
one child-a bOy-who he was sending
to School-there being ten months
school, making his tuition 52cts. per
month"; Now, the idea, Mr.. Editor, of
a man grum bling at 81 cents a month
for the tuition Of his child in so fine a
school building, such excellent teachers,
and such good school accommodations
in every respect, was enough to provoke
any sensible man, and prompt him to
expose such insignificant smallness."
1t reminds me of an incident that oc-
CURED some years ago, when some Of
our citizens made an effort to have Le-
highton incorporated as a borough,
which effort met with considerable op-
position; then heard man say that
he would give 25 cents to fee lawyer
to oppose the incorporation, and If that
would not reach he would pay 10 cents
more out of his own pocket for that
purpose! But, thanks to the men of
progress, such paltry opposition was
easily overcome. This is the class of
men who now grumble at 52cts. a month
for educating their children, and in
fact everything else tending to progress
sion.
Yours for PRoGRRss,

The Rutland cadets arrived at Suther-
land Falls yesterday afternoon and en-
camped on the grounds of Mr. A. w.
Powers They were in their usual good
health and spirits, and were visited yester-
Gay by numerous friends from Rutland.
This is their last camping-ground for the
season, and they may well consider them
selves old veterans of the camp if not of
the field, having had a large and valuable
experience in that life during the past
three weeks
They leave for Rutland early this morn
ing, and expect to arrive here at about ten
o'clock. They will be warmly received on
their arrival, and we understand something
substantial will be rendered them as a re-
ception during the day. The roll of their
lively drums, as they march into town this
morning, will be the signal for general
rush to see the boys from everyone, as
every citizen is more or less interested in
the cadets and their safe arrival home.

NNH" A'sht ooiy u.
The session of to-day of the state en-
campment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public was more fully attended than yes
terday. The reports of the department
officers were presented, and all showed the
order to be in a flourishing condition,
seven new posts and over 1900 members
having been added during the past six
months. Among other resolutions adopted
was the following, viz:
Resolved, That the thanks of the Grand
Army of the Republic be, and the same are
hereby rendered to all who aided in securing
the passage of laws increasing the pensions
to wounded soldiers of our land, and more
especially to Commanders Stewart, L..
Woodford, Clinton and McDougal for their
untirng and successful efforts in securing
the passage of the law granting a pension
to comrade Edward Jardne, commander
of this department.
The encampment adjourned this after
noon at four o'clock, after harmonious
session, to meet in the annual SESSION at
Rochester, January next. This evening a
banquet is TO be given to the delegates, and
tomorrow they take steamboat excursion
on Henka Lake, visiting the wine cellars OF
Urbana and Hammond.

Pigeon Shooting.

Pigeon shooting is a new amusement in
staid New England especially that phase
of il so common in larger communities
OF shooting in game or contest, between
two individuals. Nevertheless, it was in
augurated by Col. NJ. S. Colburn and Will
liam Beat.ic of Fall River, Mass, at Fac
tory Point, on Thursday afternoon. The
pigeons were let out of the trap and the
Colonel blazed at them one after another,
and Mr.. Beattie followed suit, until ten
out of the 81 were their trophies, Colonel
Colburn bringing down four and his OPP
ponent six. The sport was novel one,
and was watched with intense interest by
the spectators.
Much amusement was afforded the visi-
tors at the Colburn House, Factory Point,
on Thursday, in the fact that three young
ladies went out on fishing excursion, un-
accompanied by escorts, bringing home
triumphantly, 4 basketball of sparkling
trout, while three gentlemen took occasion
to make similar expedition, returning
with mary a one" to become the sport
of the visitors. These gentlemen have
suddenly become violent opposcrs of ''wo
mems rights" and talk about the indignity
of ladies engaging in pscatorial sport. Gen.
tlemen should never get angry because OF
disappointment. Make the best of an UNI
lucky day and seek not to abridge the
rights of your fellow etizen

A Possible Clue TO the Murderer.

ST.. ALBANs, July 80.
The engineer and conductor of the train
from the north (which arrived here at noon
to-day report that about a mile north of
Swanion station they observed q crowd of
forty Or fifty men, and on arrival at the
station they were told by gentleman
there that during the forenoon man en-
tered the house around which the crowd
was gathered, having his head and por-
ton of his face wrapped up in cloth.
The man and woman of the house were
away and two or three Young children
there alone. They were frightened ut the
strangers appearance and screamed to
their older brother, who was in shed near
by cleaning his gun preparatory to going
out hunting. The children say that when
they screamed the man took small hat
chet from some part of his clothing and
said, "Shut up or I'll serve you

about 20 years Of age, came in Immediately
with his gun, and at sight of him the
stranger took to his heels and the woods.
An alarm was spread and the town has
tened out en- masse to hunt for the mystic
rious fugitive. This may be. and probably
is, merely another sensation" but | give
it for what it is worth.

AN luPORTANT RAILROAD
RUMOR.
Portland and Rutland Railroad

The annual meeting of the Portland,
Rutland, Oswego and Chicago Railroad
Company was held at Portland, Maine, on
Wednesday. No business was transacted
except the election of board Of directors.
This road was projected and organized by
the late Hon. John A. Poor of Portland
1t is said on the best authority, that it Mr.
Poor had lived one day longer the papers
would have been signed leasing the road to
Commodore Vanderbilt, who would see it
built. 1t is reported that the Portland and
Ogdensburgh and Eastern Roads have come
to terms. thus, as they claim, securing the
western trade for Boston instead of Port
land, and that this is shrewd plan to get
the Rutland road built, securing the adj
vantages to Portland by leasing the road
to Vanderbilt. Commodore Vanderbilt was
elected president Tom Scott, Vanderbilt,
Dixon, and other railroad men interested in
the enterprise were in conference at Sara
toga yesterday, and it is rumored that it
will result in the funds being furnished with
the aid of the towns along the line to com
plete the road TO connect with the Rcnsc-
laer and Saratoga and New York Central
Railroads. The plan will be presented to
the public at an early date.

Death OF walter n. Pnrmcntcr

Our citizens will learn with sorrow of
the death of Walter II. Parmentcr, of the
well known firm of Bailey and Parmcntcr,
jewellers, which occurred on Thursday
afternoon at twenty minutes past four
o'clock, at the residence of his faihcr-iu-
law, Moses j. Perkins. Ills illness has
been painful, and the disease of compl-
Gated character, which bailled the skill of
the physicians -rcsembling somewhat
spinal meningitis-fr which lie mcasur-
ably recovered, when from some cause he
suffered Il relapse and speedily sank until
death came to his relief.
Mr.. Parmenter came TO Rutland from
Lowell, Orleans comfy, in this state, eight
years since, entering the establishment of
&. VI. Bailey, where he learned the bust
ness OF jeweler Some three years since
he became associated with Mr. Bailey in
business, which relation he sustained at the
time of his death. He was IL young man
highly respected in the community, and had
many warm friends. He was formerly n
member OF the Methodist church but after
his marriage he united with the Congrega-
tional church. He leaves n young wife,
who will have the sympathy of her friends
in this aflliction. The funeral will be at
tended from the residence of Moses j. Per
kins on Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock.

The bell for the new Congregational
church, Il description of which has already
appeared in the columns of THE GLoBE,
was, on Wednesday the Goth. raised to its
place in the tower under the supervision
OF men sent here by Messrs. Mcucely Il

being so heavy it was apprchended by some
that there might he difficulty in raising it,.
but there was none in the least encountered.
the parties thoroughly understanding their
business. At about 6 p. m, when being
screwed into its place, it suddenly pcaled
forth in heavy clear tones (Which were
pronounced by experts to be about 'G')
being rung by Henry W. Bingham, a son
of the donor, Deacon Hiram Bingham, who
having rung the bell in the old church,
which was burned several years ago, the
last time before the fire, rather claimed the
privilege of ringing this one first. 1t is
most certainly n splendid toned bell, and is
the largest in town.

Ladies Temperance Union

During the absence of the secretary no
report has been given of the meetings of
the Ladies' temperance union, the last of
which was held yesterday afternoon in the
Methodist chapel. The time was spent in
prayer, singing and remarks; no articles
were read, lack which was greatly felt.
Several ladies spoke of the interest felt and
the prayers offered tor these meetings by
people living in smaller towns around. This
and the assurances Of sympathy were well
received 1t was remarked that in many
places with very little aid or encourage
ment, organizations might be soon formed ;
and little more missionary spirit was re-
commended. The ladies of Chelsea, Mass.
VINO mold meetings every other day IN the
week, were commended for their activity,
and 1t was thought by one lady that if
these meetings were as frequent the attend
ance might be still better than at present.
Some move has been made for their dis.
continuance altogether through the warm
weather, but as no full argument has We,
been presented to prove that Christian
works may not live through heat as well as
cold it was decided to continue them.
Several items of business were discussed,
among which was the anticipation of visits
from John b. Cough and Miss Smiley, and
it is hoped that at no very distant time
they may be secured for this place. A
committee was appointed for the mex,
meeting, which will be held in the vestry
of the Baptist church, and the meeting wai
closed with prayer and singing.

Hon. 1. V. Baker, Jr., indicated of the
Charges Brought Against Him.
New YoGK, July 81

NEW YORK, July 80.
The Sandy Hill Herald publishes an in
terestng sworn statement by George c.
Brunnell, generating Hon. |. V. Baker,
Jr., from the charges made by Brunnell
during the senatorial campaign last fall, to
the effect that Senator Baker had made
forty thousand dollars during his term of
legislative service. Brunnell pronounces
the charge untrue, and says the whole
thing was conspiracy from beginning to
end to defeat Baker; that he made the
former statement under threats of dis
charge fiom the position he held in the
Office of the Boston, Albany and Hoosac
Tunnel railroad company, and that num-
Der of prominent politicians were engaged
in plan to pre'en the denomination of
the senator. Brunnell declares that he
never knew Baker to do an act which
could compromise the honor of his dis
trict or his own, and that he (BrunnelD
would never have been party to the con-
spiracy had he been master of his own ac-
tons,
