Coon returned home and started in the

Gibbons AZ the house Of his mother. Coon
asked leave to search the house for his
daughter, when Gibbons seized an axe and

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, 1874.



In common, we presume, with the large
majority of our fellow citizens, we were
greatly disappointed in the non-appcarance
of Dio Lewis in Rutland, Monday night
1t may be that his coming was announced
without sufficient assurance thereof; if so,
those having charge of the affair are an
swerabe for the disappointment This,
however, is of no consequence now. We
were all anxious to hear, speaking for him
self, this new apostle of temperance, who
has wrought such wonderful work in
other parts of the country. For some rea-
son or other, the prohibitory law has not
accomplished the results hoped for by its
friends. Why this Is so, we need not stop
to inquire. 1t may or may not be, as
Cough says, because temperance people re-
lied upon the tcnors of the law, and lett off
other work. Lewis himself says that
prohibition has been n failure in New
England. where it has been tried under the
most favorable circumstances. Whether
this is true or not, we will not pretend to
say, but give it as the observation and OK
perience of an earnest and sincere, if also
somewhat sensational, worker in the
cause. The observation of every one,
however we may be permitted to say,
shows that there is something of truth in
this statement. Take our own Rutland,
for instance Examine the police records
of now and two months ago, and tell us
whether there has been any diminuton in
the number of arrests for drunkenness
or fines for the sales of liquor.
We speak only from general
recollection, and from that recollection we
do not think the comparison is favorable.
If we understand the system of Dio Lewis,
we do not think 1t could be carried out, in
its entirely, in Vermont but some parts of
it could. We need temperance reforma-
ton. There is no question about this If
the old moral suasion method is the best
for heavens sake let us try it. SO much
we can all do. If Lewis's method can be
made to work in Vermont, if that is the
new and better way, let us know it. We
take it, however, that this work of DIR.
Lewis is but the old work of moral suasion
intensified, sensationalized and partaking'
somewhat, of the nature of religious cnthu-
siasm and revivalism. Temperance must
and will march side by side with the in
crease and deepening of religious sentiment.
A community which is partially and entire
ly religious, will, also, be heartily and en-
tirely on the side of temperance. # may be
that the true course is TO follow the exam
pie of those worthy old ministers who, in
one breath, threatened the terrors of the
law, and in the next painted the gloIies and
beauties of salvation. One thing is certain
We are making no advance-if anything
we are going backward. This subject j:
one of vast import, and requires the serious
thought and prayers of every lover of HI:
country and of his fellow men. All must
I've welcomed who will come, as workers
in the vineyard. The ways of one may moi
be those of another, yet both ought, never
ihcless, to work in harmony.

full vote But this makes no difference.
1t was all the same wanton violation of
law. If this is sanctioned, or even winked
at, the next step is easy. If this can be
done, then votes can be Withdrawn and
others substituted in their stead An Off
cial in charge of a ballot-boX has as much
right to do the one as the other At the
last town meeting, ballots were handed to
the receiving officer, and by him opened
and examined before being placed in the
box. This is an outrage to which no good
citizen ought to submit. Its object is and
was apparent 1t was to coerce citizens to
vote against their will. 1t is unfor-
tunatc that there are citizens so devoid of
moral courage as, through fear, to vote
contrary to their convictions of duty But
any one acquainted with the political his
tory of Rutland knows that there are many
such, and that this fact has been used with
tremendous power in caucuscs, school meet
ings and in village, town and state elections
by both political parties We have just
had an instance OF this attempted terrorism
in Burlington, where employers discharged
a workman for voting for candidate for
alderman TO whom they were opposed.
What is the difference between this and
bribery How, if the law is complied
with, can any one tell how another votes =?
If man threatens to discharge one of his
employees unless he votes so and so, and
promises either expressly or implicitly
to retain him if he does so vote, does he
not threaten his other employees with the
like punishment if they dare to vote against
his will Does he not place before his
employees the choice of violating his free
mans oath or of starvation for his family ?
Fellow citizens of Vermont, we are in more
danger from this cause than we think We
could name a town, happily disenthraled
this year, which has been so governed in
caucuses and elections by this terrorism
this intimidation. this gross and wantor
outrage on the freedom of the ballot this
open and persistent violation of the law
1t is time that the people of the whole state
were awake to this subject, if they desire
to be governed by officers elected by tho
free, voluntary and unbought suffrages Of
| the frccmcn of Vermont.

DELANO AND IVES.


Among the different manufacturing in
terest of the village the firm of Delano &
Ives, who are quite extensive dealers in
lumber making specially of doors,
sash and blinds, are one of the most prom
inent The factory used by them in their
business is 40X60 feet. Connected with it
are two lighthouses, one being 13X20 feet
and the other 100X1S feet, together with
the necessary storehouses, &c. The build
ings are all built of wood, the mill being
supplied with all of the latest and most inn
proved machinery necessary for business
of their kind. The power used is water, it
being provided with forty horsepower
champion turbine wheel and the esti-
mated value Of their property is S25, 900.
The firm employ thirty hands, their month
ly payroll averaging 81, 800 per month.
The principal kinds of wood used by them
are pine, butternut and black walnut, and
of the above kinds they have full stock
! always on hand.
The present Accommodations not being
sufficient for the dispatch of their business,
the firm are at present erecting building
3jXG0 feet, which will be of wood, with
flat roof, and when completed will greatly
increase their facilities.
The reputation achieved by this firm for
doing fine work is beginning to spread
During the past year they supplied churches
in Whitney, Port Henry and Shoreham
with their furniture and at present they
are making the pews and pulpit furniture
for an Episcopal church in Port Jervs, N.
Y, which will add fresh laurels to their
already well deserved success. The lee
turn, the stall, and the fold stool, made of
black ash, are beautiful yet plain in design.
The pews are of black ash with black wal
nut rails
They also keep large and well selected
stock of builders hardware, nails, putty,
paints and glass in store adjoining the
mill. They also DO a large business in
making blinds, doors, scroll and ornamen.
tai work, and also make large number OF
brackets. The firm have been in business
together only four years. They are hare
working, stirring business men, and have
been honored by the people of their native
town with honorable positions, which they
have filled with credit to themselves and
profit to the people whom they have repre-
scented.
