Grangers' Prices.

We are indebted to Mr.. George Torrev
Grange Agent for Mississippi, James
Street, Liverpool, for price list of nrti-
Giles with which he will fill orders for the
Patrons of Husbandry. We are astonished
on looking over this list at the immense
advance which consumers in this country
have to pay on the original cost, and
which might be easily saved by co-opera-
ton among the Patrons The enormous
additions to the cost are caused by the
number of middlemen, who, under the
old system, come between the manufac-
turer and purchaser, and must have their
per cent. before the goods are delivered
to the latter.
For example we will take few articles
from Mr.. Torrey's price list, of dry goods
and cutlery, the cost of which at our home
markets, is well known by everybody:

lrcular. TO the prices here stated, are Ii

To avail themselves of Mr.. Torrev's is
geDcy, Patrons in the different subordi lar
ate Oranges can easily combine and make
their orders, for such articles as thew 30
ay need, giving specific instructions az to an
re and quality, and, if necessary, '.tI
mt as to price. The circular will serve de,
IA guide--though Mr.. Torrey would have wr,
'nsulted the convenience of Patrons and lln'
S own interest if he had made his list "ol
III more extensive. That the system of the
spenslng with middlemen and getting blu
near as possible to the manufacturers
ay be tried, we would suggest that the i,
'trons' at their regular meetings, make TT II
clubs and send on their orders. We to
esume Mr. Torrey has provided every "ia
ige, and many individual members wa
ereof, with his price list, Whenever the
Ige has tried the experiment, it should D"5
Vertise the result for the benefit OF the NP'

Funeral of VIM. G. Kelley.

The funeral of Mr.. w. G. Kelley was at
tended Tuesday afternoon at the residence
of his father, Mr.. w. Kelley, at Walling-
ford, by large number of relatives and
friends, quite number being present from
Rutland. The services were conducted in
simple and tender manner by the Rev.
Aldace Walker, ID. D., of the Congre-
gational church, Wallingford, assisted by
the Rev. Edwin Conover, of the Baptist
church.
The exercises were opened by the sing
ing of that beautiful hymn, "Oh, eyes that
are weary, and hearts that are sad after
which Rev. DR.. Walker read few passa-
ges from scripture, followed by an able
and touching discourse appropriate for the
occasion. A prayer was then offered by
Rev. Mr.. Conover, after which an oppor-
tunity was given for the friends to view
the remains which were enclosed in hand
some black walnut casket. A beautiful
anchor composed of white flowers, princi-
pahly roses, pinks, and emeralds, was the
floral decoration. The remains were
taken to the cemetery at Wallingford and
inferred khere.
The exercises at the grave were very
brief, consisting of the benediction by Rev.
DIR. Walker. Thus has passed away an.
other young man full of hopes for this life,
and one that bid fair for making a man OF
high standing ~ the community where
he lived. q.

THE BALL MURDER.
A Meeting of Citizens at the Scene
of the Murder.

ST.. ALBANs, June 30.

reward of three thousand dollars for the
apprehension of the murderer of Miss Ball
at this place last July,a meeting of citizens
was called by posters for four o'clock this
afternoon at the scene of the murder.
About $50 citizens of the neighborhood at
tended and formed an association and

tendance of certain parties concerning
whom suspicious have been afoat at the

The American Riflemen.

DUBLIN, June 30.
The Irish press speak in congratulaoy
terms of the victory of the American rifle
men in yesterdays contest. The Freeman
Journal compliments the Americans on
their discipline, and says the event and its
incidents will have drawn closer antilles of
the two nations engaged and while
heartily congratulations our gallant con-
querors or their magnificent triumph, we
look for revenge in future. Dublin ex-
presses trusts that the contest will become
annual, and il it should continue TO be car
ried on with the same good feeling not
only on the part of the competitors but on
that of the spectators and of the two nations
generally, which has marked the past two
meetings, it will do much TO cement the
friendship of Ireland and America.
To this Colonel Gildcrsleeve has justly
directed attention as the most valuable out
come of this rivalry of marksmen, and we
hope the Irish ''six" will spare no effort to
give each future meeting that interest
which alone can insure their continuation.
Sanders Letter speaks in similar strain
and says : Nor should it be forgotten as a
slight extenuation of our failure, that
while the American team was selected
from nation of forty millions, who are
familiar with the rifle from their cradle,
ours was selected from province of five
millions, where, except in privileged cases
the use OF that weapon is forbidden.
The Dublin Mail remarks The
Americana visit to Europe will assume
proportions of an exchange of national hos
pitalty, and we in Ireland hope that the
result will be better appreciation of Irish
character and aspirations in the United
States than has hitherto been the case.
ANOTHER VICTORY FOR TIE AMERICANS.
There was shooting to-day at Dolly
Mount for the Spencer cup, free to all
corners. Messrs. Bruce, Yale, Dskin, Gil
dersleeve, Ballard, Coleman and Garfield
| of the American team and all the members
of the Irish team and sporting club took
part. The contest resulted in another vic
tory for the Americans. X. G. Coleman
won the cup, making score of AZ out OF
possible so. The range was 1000 yards.
Gldersleeve and Yale also won prizes dur
ing the days shooting.

OFFICE OF CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT,
NEW YORK, June 9Th, 1874.

DEAR SIR-Your favor OF the 4th inst, re-
questing my views as 10 the practicabillty and
efficiency OF the Babcock Fire Engines, is at
hand. In reply, would say, the Engines are
light, well-made. and can be used instantly on
reaching fire, thus avoiding the delay OF u
few moments In the beginning which Is often
so disastrous. Having the advantage OF using
small quantity Of water, they are especially
valuable In districts where the supplyi is lin
lied. In the annexed district, where water In
large quantities cannot readily be had, they
have done excellent service, and are our main
reliance. We now have six OF them in service.
II is perfectly feasible to extinguish fires with
them in the upper stories OF very high build
ing5. The elasticity OF the fluid and the light
ness OF the hose, enable the pipe.men to ascend
quickly and operate, without, in the least
damaging goods on the floors below.
Yours, very truly,
ELI BATES, Chief OF Dept.
