New York, Charles A. Champion of
Franklin county and Mrs o. II. Kile of
Essex.
The winter meetings of the Vermont
dairymen's association have always been
largely attended and we have reason to be-
lieve the coming one will excel in some
respects any previous meeting. Rutland
is central point, easy of access, having
the best of hotel accommodation for the
large number present. 1t is expected that
in addition to Vermont dairymen that there
will be at least one hundred of the dairy
men of Washington county, N. Y, will be
in attendance.

central figure, but it might as well be at
tempted to write the history of the rebel
lion based on Grants achievements alone
without reference to Sherman, Sheridan,
Thomas and others, as to write the history
of the New York controversy based on the
events which happened in Clarendon ig-
noring those which took place in Rutland,
Pittsford and Dandy.
So with the "anti-court rebellion" " hch
eliminated in Rutland, but which, to be
understood, needs the antecedent action OF
the other towns in the county. Our revo-
lutionary history is, also, interviewer. Rut-
land, Castleton, Pittsford, Pawlet, Bran
don and other towns lstood shoulder to
shoulder, and the story is connected, not
disjointed, one. Our political history,
too, is of the same character, as is illus
trated by the story of the burly Matthew
Lyon of Fairhaven, from the day he super
intended the burning in efligy of Elijah
Paine-and thereby made him United
States senator and, subsequently,, judge OF
luC lulttu tOulb-uOMn W
the day when he, himself, was tried and
convicted at Rutland for speaking dis
respectfully" of President John Adams,
and, as result, was elected to congress, not
only from Vermont, but also from Ken
lucky and Arkansas. So too is it with the
days OF the embargo, of the war of 1919, of
the antimasonic excitement, etc., etc.
1t is true that these and other subjects,
which will naturally suggest themselves,
might be treated of disjointedly or an at
tempt might be made to tell the whole
story in each town interested, involving
innumerable repetitions-but, in either
event, the story would be tedious as well
| as unreliable. AS an individual, we should
much prefer to see each town gather up
the threads of its own history, giving ut
the chaff with the wheat, with the risk
the certainty-of contradiction, repetltioni
and want of reliability but looking solely
to the historic value of the occasion and Of
the memorial prepared therefor, we ar,
constrained to say that the work should bt
done by the towns in their aggregate as {
county, rather than as integral parts there
of. Whichever course is pursued, i
either, as the commission suggest, the DIES
ignation of historians should be made with
out delay SO that ample time may be givel
for doing the work and doing it well. To,
much care cannot be used in the selection
of historians, and on this subject, as wei
as the topics to be treated of, we shall hav
suggestion or two to make hereafter.

GLOBE MONDAY MORNING.

nous report of the special committee APP
pointed by the last legislature to investi-
gate this subject these sample passages
"Your committee are entirely satisfied that
the trustees and managers have studiously
aimed and faithfully labored TO comply
with their charters, and to meet, so far as
their means would allow, all the demands
for instruction that have been made upon
them. We further find that, as yet, no
demand has been made upon them for in
struction in practical and experimental
agriculture, and, therefore, they have not
yet expended, as the act Of congress per-
mits one-tenth of the industrial fund, in
the purchase of an experimental farm but
1t appeared in evidence that the trustees
and managers are ready to meet this de-
mand, so far as to furnish the use of the
necessary land, whenever the demand shall
be made, even though it be by very few
students. Your committee find,
from an analysis of the annual expendi-
lures, that the whole amount of the indus
trial fund, was expended IN paying for the
services of professors in the industrial de-
partment, and expenses properly belonging
to that department. In the partnership
business of the two corporations, the in
dustrial is apparently the favored partner.
. And, in conclusion, we all unite
in asking for the Vermont university and
state agricultural college the favor of the
sons and daughters of Vermont who de.
sire the best education for the practical
business of life, and commend the institu-
| ton to the confidence and fostering care OF
the state. "-SprinafeM Republican.

Here is picture of the democratic con-
gressional household, as painted by the
democratic correspondent of the demo-
cratic Troy Press !: -" 1t is amusing to wit
" ness the anxiety among the leading men,
" bers when some question is up that calls
" out quick and rapid replies. If demo-
" crat is speaking, the members on that
" side will get around him, and put in a
" suggestion now and then, in an under
tone. Governor Swami will drop over
to Fernando Woods desk, and after a
" few words together Wood will slowly
" rise from hls seat and say, 'Meester
Spee-har, If the gentlemen who has the
" floor will give way to me moment etc.,
" thereby giving the democrat who is up q
" chance to get achievements and his
breath OF the same time" Surely there
are political giants in these days And
these tho democratic "ototoomon" who
are to save the nation !

Harry Holloway, superintendent of the
postoffice, and brother of the postmaster
of Indianapolis, Indiana, has been indicted
for receiving bride, and, at once, resign
ed his office. The late state treasurer of
New Jersey, on the discovery of his de-
falcation, Immediately resigned without
waiting to be indicted and the state
treasurer Of Kansas, only charged with
carelessness in not properly identifying in
dividuals to whom he paid orders drawn
on account of the proceeds of forged state
school bonds, rendered his resignation
without delay. Only William M. Tweed,
the Tammany thief, and Orville E. Bah
cock, the private secretary of the president
of the United States, "stick" to their
offices after indictment. The contrast is q
pleasant one.

The Explosion on the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad.

BuzzARD, Ga, Dec. 10, 1876.
You have no doubt received my letter
from Chicago, and learned that we were
on our way to Florida. We had pleasant
trip until this morning, when thirty. seven
miles below Macon we met with smash
up on the Macon and Brunswick railroad.
Leaving Atlanta at 1916 p. M, the train
consisting of express, baggage, smoking,
passenger and the Florida through sleeping
car having about forty-fve through pass
engers. The first intimation of disaster
we had was being thrown endways
in our berths. Ladies screamed with
fright, and it was not long before was on
my feet to ascertain the trouble, as the car
had stopped. One said it was an earth
quake-they had heard an explosion. 1t
was not long until learned what was the
trouble. The two forward cars, express and
baggage, had telescoped in to one another.
Alitte further along we found the engineer
dead, about forty feet from the track, his
clothes blown from his body. The
| fireman lay in the ditch, but alive.
A little farther on we saw the cause.-the
engine had blown up and was completely
destroyed and scattered thirty rods around,
scarcely piece of the boiler was left as
big as ones hand. The driving wheels
were thrown off and the casing of the
boiler was thrown about twenty-five rods
and left in tree. The dead engineers
watch was found in one place and his
chain in another fifty feet apart. He was
thrown up so as to fall on the telegraph
wires and bring them down with him, and
it lay under him. 1t was heartrending
scene to look at. He was fifty-one years
of age and leaves wife and child at Ma
con. He had been an engineer on a
steamer between New York and Liverpool
twenty years, and was the oldest engineer
on this railroad, and only the day before
made the remark that he was
going to quit this railroading. The
express messenger had Just gone back
to the baggage car and go escaped being
killed as the tender was driven right into
IL and the express car into the baggage
car. Luckily our Chicago baggage was in
the rear and escaped with little damage.
We were travelling at the rate of only about
twelve miles an hour. If we had been
going at the usual speed of 25 miles per
hour would not, in oil probability, be
writing this.
No one understands the cause of the ex-
plosion, as the engine was one of the best
on the road. The accident happened OPP
poslte large cotton field from which !
picked the enclosed sample of cotton.

A Female Tranlp.

st. Adams Bay wss favored the early
part of the week, with visitation from
one whom it's citizens Las the heart to call
a "female tramp" Which 10 arrived in all
her glory on bob-sled drawn by a brown
horse, and announced that abe was widow
Stone from East Enosburgh, where she had
quite good farm and eighteen cows. The
trouble was that she had sister, likewise
widowed, who was intensely and fearfully
and wonderfully poor, on her hands
for support, in view of which fact che
thought she ought TO have assistance, and
she was willing to take anything, from
half pint of beans upward. She succeed

quite an amount of other personal property,
