leads to queer bed fellowship. The sentimental old

Water! Water!! Water!!!

We have, at different times, called
the attention of the people of Ridgway,
our facilities for supplying the village
with water, and have urged upon them
the necessity of some active steps being
taken to secure this much-to.be. desired
end. Again we present the subject,
not that we are going to go into lengthy
article on details, but we would simply,
give one reason with the hope that it
may, be pro6ted by, viz: DR.. Farley is
now building stone house, or reser-
voir, over the spring, to be when COM
pleted, about six feet wide, seven feet
high, and twelve feet long. which will
create head sufficient to burst all the
wooden pump logs, wooden, reservoirs,
and clay pipes that connect the town
with the spring and then the water sup
ply will be suspended for an indefnate
time, to the detrement of many of our
citizens. We think no one will doubt
this statement, as now with a head of
not more than eighteen inches, we are
continually, repairing breaks, and with
all our trouble going without water for
great share of the time. We are in
formed that DR.. Farley, has agreed
to furnish water to every house in this
village, and keep the pipes in repair, if
the citizens will take hold of the matter,
and pay him a reasonable sum for his
trouble, and no person that is acquairt-
ed with Dr. Farley, will think for a
moment that the sum will be anything
but reasonable. We would suggest
that a meeting be called and some
measures be taken at once to secure the
privilege of having fresh, pure water
at our doors. An early action must be
had in order that DO protracted delay
may occur from our inability to act
Why can't meeting be held on next
Saturday evening.

SPECIE PAYMENTS. The one pos
sible and proper manner of resuming
specie payments, according to its way Of
thinking, is thus given by the New
York Bulletin:
Congress must fix day in November,
December or January of any year, the
earlier the better, after which the legal
tenders shall be convertible into gold
on demand at the Sub Treasures at New
York and San Francisco-and let ali
legal tenders thus redeemed be re-
issued in the disbursements OF the
Government or in the purchase of the
500 bonds whenever there is a surplus
revenue that can be spared for that
purpose. Accompany this with free
banking, upon deposit of United States
bonds, and we shall have the best circu-
lating medium in the world, and never
have either scarcity or plethora Of
coin, which will then be imported or ex-
ported in accordance with the best in
terests of the people of the United
States.

THE New York Tribune has been
giving some figures in measuring the
trade of the past ten months by a
period of the same leng th succeeding
the panic of 1857, and claims to show
how much lighter were the lasting ef-
fects of this later crash. The decrease
in the foreign commodities imported
into the United States has been only II
per cent. from last year, while in 1852
it was 22 per cent over the preceding
year. in the grocery business, especi-
ally, which is not affected by the de-
volopment Of home industries 60 much
as the dry goods trade, the comparison
with 1858 is decidedly favorable and in-
dicates much sounder condition Of
things in this line than existed sixteen
years ago. The values of exports of do
mestic production for the first ten
months of the last three fiscal years are,
respectively O9,478,997, S485, 49,
353 and s5lS,95l,3S6, reduced to a
gold standard, The increase of 1874
over the preceding years is due to the
great quantities of Indian corn, whea:
and -four required to make good the de-
fciencies of European crops. As there
is much larger production in this res
pect this year and prospectively larger
demand in European markets no reduc-
tifn in the last figures need be anticipa-
ted, even should the prices slightly fall.
1t takes more than one panic to seriously
embarrass commerce as strongly
grounded as ours.

A HEAVY PLURALITY FOR THE REGU-

TICKET IN RURLINGT0N.

A HEAVY PLURALITY FOR THE REGU-
LAR REPUBLICAN SENATORIAL
TICKET IN BURLINGTON.
Burlington, Sept. 1.-The election
passed off quietly. This city gives the
Republican State ticket nienty eight
majority and heavy plurality for the
regular Republican ticket for State
Senators, but elects Smallcy (son OF
Uuited States Judge Smalley), Demo-
crat, as Representative to the Legisla-
ture by eighty-niue majority. This is
the first time a Democrat has been
elected Represe sentative from Burlington
since 1858. 1he regular Republican
ticket for county officers is probably
elected in Chittenden county, though a
heavy temperance bolt On portion of
the ticket.
THE RES ULT IN THE STATE AT LARGE
AND THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS,
Rutland. September Returns
come in slowly. The indications are
that there will be but slight falling
off from the Republican majoritles OF
1872 on the State ticket. Several of
the larger towns in the States have
elected Democratic town representatives,
which was effected by coalition of the
rum party with the Democrats. Col
onel Charles K, Joyes. Republican is
elected by large majority from the
First, and Hon. G. G. Hendee, Repub-
lican from the Third Congressional dis
trict. Joel G. Baker, regular Republi-
can for State attorney for Rutland
county, is defeated.
