VERMONT HORSES.

VERMONT HORSES. A cores
pendent of the Turt. Field and Farm
in an article on the Green Mountain
stock farm of Moulton Bros. ut
West Randolph speaks us follows
concerning the reputation which
Vermont horses once had and their
present standing:
it was in the fall of 1895 that a
two year old colt following another
that was led. was taken from Spring
field, Mass, to Ra ndolph, Vt. The
owner of the colt, Justin Morgan,
whose body lies sleeping in the
church yard at Randolph Center,
little thought ut the time that
from the colt would spring race of
horses by thu. name of Morgan.
1t is admitted now by every one
of information, that the colt was of
superior blood. 1t is a fact that
certain countries or sections are no.
ted for producing fine animals, and
others, for producing poor, worth
less ones. Had the two year old
colt been taken to some localities,
he never would have been heard
from, but being taken to Vermont,
the State that history says raises
fine horses and fine sheep, supe-
riOr blood is brought out, which is
owing in part to the climate and
soil of the state being favorable. 1t
is asked, why in Vermont now be-
hind some States in raising the
horse I? The answer is, her breeders
do not take the pains they should.
They go contrary to Arab rule, by
selling their best mares and breed
ing trOme poor inferior ones. They
look out for the present income, re-
CARELESS Of the future. A farmer
can, for a few years, sell the hay
and grain from bis farm and seem
to be doing well, but sOou his farm
is worthless. a breeder can, for
few years sell the best OF his stock,
but he is soon unable to compete
with his neighbOrs. Vermont breed
ers are seeing their error, and are
now breeding mares from their best
young mares, which being sound,
stamp their great quality upon their
fOals. The best mares are none too
good to breed from. They too, are
bringing into the State some of the
best blood.

lT is now the general belief that
Donaldson's balloon went down in
Lake Michigan, and that the reck.
less though much admired aeronaat
and his youthful passenger, the re-
porter GrimwOOd, were drowned.
Capt. j. w. Miller of the schooner
G. Fl. Hackley says that he saw the
balloon very near the water on the
night of the Thursday, the day of
ascension, at s o'clock, about forty.
five miles from the western shore.
in a direct line between Chicago
and Grand Haven. The captain of
the Little Guide saw it about thirty
miles from shore at Z o'clock going
in the same direction. This con.
firms the statement in the Chicago
Tribune that the balloon went in
that direction at the rate of about
fifteen miles an hour. The ascent
was made at 5 o'clock. At 8 o'clock
it would be, by this reckoning, just
where Captain Miller saw it, and ut |
z o'clock where Captain Anderson
observed it.

OF most disastrous floods which

Kansas, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,

have prevailed for many years, and
the damage to the crops of all kinds,

The town of Carroll has two gala

A large number Of the inabitants
were gathered at the Twin, in spite
of the threatening aspect overhead,
to witness his coming, this evening.
The verandas of the hotel were

house, while an eminence in front
was occupied by the Twin and
Crawford House bands, under the
direction of Mr.. White of Boston.
The train arrived at $50 p. NJ, and
coaches were at the depot to convey
the party, numbering about fifty, to
the house. On reaching the hotel,
Mr.. Beecher was overwhelmed with
congratulations, as he alighted from
the carriage, and amid soul-stirring
music, enthusiastic cheering and
waving of handerchiefs, he was
welcome to the house. United
States District Attorney Tenney,
Edwin Atkins and other prominent
BroOklynites were with the party.
Mr.. Beecher looked hale and hearty;
he will preach Sundays during his
stay, and extra trains will be run
