ARCTIC EXPLORATION.

The English Arctic expedition takes
along about l 900 tons Of provisions,
enough to last for three years. Every
thing which will tend to the comfort
of the crews and enable them to amuse
themselves during the leisure hours
in the long days and nights which they
will spend in the northern regions has
been provided. No expedition has
ever been so completely fitted out for
an Arctic voyage Of discovery, and
this, added to the knowledge gained
by American expeditions, it is believed
will enable the English adventures
to reach the Pole, aud 50 solve the
Arctic problem.

man who was famous for making the
best cider in the neighborhood, and
was equally famous for keeping it +;
and as yet no person but himself and
family had been permitted to taste
the good stuff. At last, one of his
near neigh bors said he was determin-
ed to taste it. Accordingly he went
to the Dutchman's house, and entered
into conversation with him concern
ing his crops, &C., and by degrees led
him to speak Of his cider. He then
said to him, 81 understand you make
very good CIDER" "Yaw," replied
the Dutchman. "Hans, my ply, go
bring mug full" Hans soon return
ed with mug trimming full, and
handed it to the Dutchman, who
drained it to the bottom in one
draught; then turning to his astonish-
ed visitor, said, "Dere now, if you
dosh not dink dat goot cider, joost
| you schmen te mug"

THE SEALED CAR ImBROGLIO.
A Vermont political Scandal.

A dispatch from Portland to Boston pa.
per says "a rumor is current on the
street, which, If true, explains the aston
ishing pertlnacty exhibited by the customs
officials at Island Pond in their interference
with the transit of sealed cais. The ru-
NOR goes that Mr.. Dale, the present deputy
collector at Island Pond, is ambitious to
succeed Mr.. Hcndce, now representative of
that district in congress. Mr.. Hendee is a
director in the Portland q Ogdensburg
railroad, has been warm friend Of the en-
terprise from its inception, and has conse-
quently legitimate and reasonable interest
in the prosperity of Portland, the terminus
and shipping port of that road. Wanton
injury TO the commerce of Portland Mr..
Hendee would resist, and prevent if posi-
Bile, not only because it is neighborly and
patriotic duty, but because he has per-
sonal stake in the prosperity of the city.
In this fact Mr.. Dale saw his opportunity.
A tax levied on Portland commerce for the
benefit of the Island Pond district would
certainly be opposed by Mr.. Hendee, and
Mr.. Dale would then appear before his fell
low citizens as their defender against the
treachery of their representative, whose
scalp it was believed would be secured by
this device"

Joseph l.. Gray, an employee of Mathews
4 Davis of Burlington had the thumb of
his left hand neatly amputated, from the
base of the first finger to the wrist, Mon
day, by circular saw making some three
thousand revolutions a minute.
A year old child of Mr.. Parady, of Bur
lington, while playing on the floor, Monday,
swallowed screw about an inch in length.
The screw lodged in the child's windpipe
and caused death by suffocation in less than
half an hour.
The Richmond market for butter on Mon
day was active, at an advance on last
weeks prices. Ordinary sold at 20 to csc;
choice, % to soc; selections, sc. A few
boxes of sSim cheese-the first of the sea-
son-were offered and sod at Sc. The
butter shipments were l45 tubs, against
l52 for the corresponding week of last
year.
The city council, have elected,
"Sol." Walker fence viewer in place of
F. j. Hendee, resigned. After the cleo
ton became known Mr.. Walker was waited
upon at his residence, on Pine street, by
large number of friends and received their
congratulations. In recognition of their
kind regard the worthy fence viewer elec.
courteously invited them in and entertain.
ed them for a short season with substan-
tial refreshments.
The St. Adams Adre1iser and the
Springfield Republican will please note that
the sheep trade is hardly as dead in Yer
mont as they hoped it was. 1t is exceed
ingly lively hereabouts. Sheep are chang
ing hands very rapidly. Geo. Hammond
has just purchased OF Messrs. Cherbino
selection of thirty of their ram lambs for
the California market at $50 each. They
are probably the best large lot of lambs
raised in Vermont last season and such a
lot as Vermont can hardly afford to spare.

A car load of the best young sheep OF
Addison county left Middlebury last week,
They were selected with great care by our
