MILES. THE BARRE BANK EoBHER.-A
New York despatch of Tuesday SAYS
The ring Of bank robbers whose head
quarters are in this city Is making a grand
effort to preyent the taking os George T.
Miles to Vermont, 10 stand his trial Tor
the Barre bank robbery The habcas cor
pus sued out by Miles is being argued
again to-day. There were many Vermont
officials here. including the State Auditor.
who is virtually the Attorney General
of the State, the State Attorney,
Governor Dillingham's private secretary,
Sheriff Bailey, Detectives Wood and Wig
gins. and Mr.. Charles \. King. the
Cashier of the Barre bank.
The Vermont officials are terribly IN
earnest IN their desire to punish Miles and
will spare no expense to that end. W hen
they learned that WIN. \. Beach had been
retained by the prisoner thew consulted IN
CONSERVATION upon the propriety OF retain
ing either Judge Fullerton or VIM. NJ.
Eyarts as opposing counsel. Thcy dad not
take that step. however, but left the man
agement of their case to Distric. Attorney
Phelps and the Vermont State Attorney.
There arc one or two errors in this. The
State Auditor o; Vermont, is not virtually
the Attorney General Of the State, and has
nothing to do. a. Auditor. with the execu-
ton of Justice in criminal cases. Gov. Dill
lingham. We think. has no private Secre-
tary; and there Is no such officer as " the
Vermont State Attorney" the Office OF
States Attorney being county office.

An item in the history of the Underhill
cheese factory, of interest to dairymen. has
lately been brought to light. On the 18th
of Jnly, 1875. it is said 4 certain patron was
detected in watering his milk very freely,
this having been more than suspected for a
long time Since that time he has been
denied the privilege of bringing either water
or milk to the factory. His being caught in
this disreputable business had most re-
markable effect upon COW of another
dairyman. This COW had always been kind
till now but the next time her owner came
to the factory with milk she had kicked over
pailfal that weighed 200 lbs. That cow
kicks yet but the balance of that dairy gives
far richer milk, and it is hoped from this
fact. that the production of cheese will not
be lessencd materially.

Middlebury is entitled to the sincerest
sympathy in the heavy misfortune which
has befallen her. The greater part of the
business portion of the village has been
wiped out The loss over and above insur-
ance is very heavy and We fear that the
business of the place is not in such condi-
ton of activity and prosperity, or capital 50
abundant there,as to ensure any such speedy
rising from the ashe-. as Montpelier, for in
stance, has exemplitiei. Yet we trust the
fire is but temporary misfortune and
that the burned blocks will at no distant
day be rebuilt, in more substantial and less
combustible shape.
