THE SUGAR TRADE.

The Evening Express says What is ie-
garded as an arbitrary and unjust action of
Secretary Bristow in reducing the export
rebate on hard refined sugar to 80 cents per
100 pounds, as ordered yesterday, caused
considerable excitement in the sugar trade.
Business is about suspended and protests
against this order, which will seriously in

meeting was held at the grocers board of
trade rooms to take action in regard to the
matter, which IL considered as sudden
and unjust action on the part of Bristow.

You ask why the University Of Vermont

for lack of manliness in our men. The
University was represented" 10 almost every
great battle Of the Rebellion, from Bull Run
to Petersburg, having sent to the field a larg

any other New England college. But the
fact is that neither the character Of our com

such as to encourage sporting habits. A
large proportion Of our students-large
enough to determine the prevailing tone o
the ipsttution-are sons Of farmers, frugal
industrious fellows who are working their
way through college, and who, at the time
of the regatto, are swinging the scythe in III,
bayfield, or handling the compass and chair
on the railroad. Besides, though they arc
poor, they are proud, and would regard it al
beneath the dignity Of free-born VermOnteI
to expose their muscle in public, like gladia

seeks excellence and distinction for their own

a strong desire for superiority but it ha:

detraction, and seeks only self-grati6cation

Shooting scrape at Middlesex.

\ shocking shooting ARRAY occurred in
Middlesex on Friday last where an old lady
aged sixty.fve years shot her husbands
brother who was some twenty years younger
than herself, and mortally wounded him it is
believed, though he is still living. The old
lady is Mrs Richard Dodge, aud the man
shot is Joel Dodge. The trouble was in re-
gard to the possession of piece of land that
Richard Dodge claimed he had bought of
Joel aud was occupying under a promise Of
deed. Instead Of pursuing the law Joel
undertook to drive Richard and his family
out by carrying off the windows Of the house.

1t was while digging the potatoes that the
ARRAY commenced. Mrs Dodge ordered Joel
and his men off aud threw stone at him.
He then pitched at her with hoe, aud she
drew pistol from under her apron, aud shot
him. The shot passed through the rim Of
his hat into his cheek and face, breaking
both jaws, taking out large number Of
teeth aud lodging in his throat and cheek,
maDgling his face fearfully and carrying
away part Of his tongue. He fell to the
ground but soon got up and chased Mrs

He was taken home aud his wounds dressed
by a physician who extracted eight buck

man cannot eat and the physician thinks his

chip.
The material Of which these implem ents
we're made is mostly Of quartzite rock, found
10 abundance in this locality. The clippings
show that small boulders we're used. As
the land has been cleared from stone, broken
boulders have been laid up in the wall, but
the clippings were too fine 10 be cleared
away. Two or three varieties Of jasper
have been brought from distant localities
and worked here. Pestles, axes and wedges
are picked up here and there By farmers.
One large rock followed out on the upper
side showing a smooth and circular surface
is supposed to have been used as mortar.
These relics are in groups, not far from the
base Of the Green Mountain range. Cool
springs Of water are in the immediate yicin.
ity, which afforded them their only beverage.
These springs supply the present occupants
with water to-day, and better would il be If
It was their only beverage. The plains az.
forded ample fields for the cultivation of
corn. Axes, hoes and pestles show agrcu-
tural pursuits, such as cutting down Of trees,
working in the soil and skill in the culinary
art.
This place has also been used as a burial
place. A few Indian bones have been dug
up 10 excavations for cellars, wells, etc, but
the pillow is too shallow to bring the remains
to light. Those who have found the bones
heretofore took no more interest in them
than to give them away to whomsoever
wanted them, but the members Of the club
are entering into these explorations with
sufficient zeal TO make them OF great value
to chronological science. About four miles
North Of this village several skeletons have
been found along with numerous relics, which
show long line OF settlements at the base
Of the Green Mountains.

Boiler Explosion.

A locomotive boiler exploded at Charles.
town, Mass, last Friday with terrific force,
SCATTERING the machine to atoms and
throwing the hot water and steam in all
directions, and the fragments Of the boiler
and appurtenances were thrown long dis
tances. The engineer and fireman were
blown ten feet in the air by the force of the
explosion being forced out of tho cab over
the tender of the locomotive and over n
freight car, falling some ID feet in the rear
of the engine. A piece Of the boiler, weigh.
ing some two hundred pounds, was blown
through the side Of the wooden wall of the
freight house some twenty feet distant, in
which several men were at work handling
freight, all Of whom escaped injury. Rails
we're torn from the track beside the engine
and bent as though made of lead, and one
rail was carried some ID feet aud forced
through the wall of the freight depot. On
the track beside the engine was a train OF
freight cars, and the one standing opposite
the locomotive, loaded with rolls OF calf
skin, was made a complete wreck. Frag-
ments of the boiler aud other portions of the
engine were blown in all directions, and il
is a wonder that no one was killed or injured
by them. The cause OF the explosion is not
clear. The engine had just backed into the
yard from the lowell railroad, and few
minutes before the explosion took place the
engineer tested his boiler and found il
showed water up to the third gauge, sufficient
evidence that it was three-quarters full oI
water, whereupon he shut off the water from
the tank in the tender: Mr. Mckenzie thinks
that the boiler first gave away around the
"dome," and the explosion may have re-
suited from gradual weakening OF the up.
per portion Of the boiler. The locomotive
has been used as shifting engine since it
was put on the road in 1867, and was made
by Mckay Il Adus, of Fast Boston. II

The Silver Mines of Mexico and Peru.

In the first three centuries after the dis
covery of America it has been computed that
100000 tons of pure silver were exported
from Peru and Mexico alone. This would
be sufficient to form a solid globe of silver
100 feet in diameter. Considering the rude
manner of working ores in that day, this is
no trIAe. The difference between mining in
Peru aud mining in Mexico is only in the
climate of the silver regions. The Potosi
mine, which has yielded enormous quantities
of silver, is at an elevation as great as that
of the summit of Mount Blanc, in region
Of perpetual snow. The mines of Mexico
are on the middle lands, where neither frost
nor great heat is felt. The vast mineral
wealth of Peru has been developed by the
patient industry Of the native Indians. They
live almost entirely on cocoa. Their wages
per week average about $3.50 in our money.
A very romantic story is told of the Salcado
mine, which has been lost for a hundred
years. Sacado was young Spaniard who
fell in love with and married an Indian girl,
whereupoD she revealed to him the location
of silver mine of fabulous richness and as
yet unworked. Salcado, with the aid of his
wife, found the mine, aud, making friends
with the Indians, commenced work upon it.
In few years he was enormously rich. The
Spanish governor, learning Of his prosperity,
aud designing to secure the mine to himself,
caused a charge Of conspiracy to be made
against him, under which he was arrested,
tried and condemned although the charge
was entirely fictitious. When awaiting exc.
cution he promised the governor, De Lemos,
that ii he would allow the proofs to go Ia
Madrid and be inspected by the king, there
should be paid to him 9l00 of silver every
day until the vessel should 60 to Spain and
return. As the voyage one way in those
days consumed about l6 months, it is read
! lily seen that the ransom was enormous
Salcado was executed. The avaricious gov
ernor FASTENED to the mine, but the mine
was gone. 1t has never been found. The
widow and her devoted Indians had deter,
mined that the murderer should never be re
warded for his crime. and they had flooded
the mine and buried it in such manner
that discovery was impossible. The richest
silver mine in the world probably is thu
Pottochi, or, in our vernacular, Potosi-tht
Chollar-Potosi of Nevada being named from
it. II is near La Plata, and was discovered
in 1915. 1t has always been worked in
rude manner, but yet is said to have ALREADY
produced S250,000,0 900 worth of the pre-
ciOus metal. For many years 1000 Indian
we're employed in it, and, being slaves, 81
cruelty were they worked that they deci
mated rapidly aud their places were imme
diately filled by others. At the presen
time 1000 paid men are employed, aud tn
mine yields well and shows no signs of ez
haustion.

DIR j. M. Currier writes to the Newport

The Bristol scientific club is composed of
only few active members, having the whole
domain of science for its field of operations.
The members, possessing equal interest in
all Investigations Of scientific truths, they
derive vast amount Of pleasure in their ex :
cursions, explorations, aud deliberations,
which people who have no such taste know
not of. For the past few weeks they have
been making explorations on the plains in
and around this village, which have resulted
in the discovery that this region was more
thickly settled by the Indians 10 the stone
age than has been usually supposed.
In one small lot several thousand speci'
mems Of arrows spear points, and clippings
Of flint have been picked up. Many broken

them. From large collection of them to-

Saturn at his Nearest.

Chief in the rare planetary splendor now
attracting attention in our nightly sky, the
great ringed orb Of Saturn shines. 1t rises
with the full moon in the eastern heavens,
and passed into opposition with the sun on
Sunday evening. The earth is now between
the sun aud the great planet and
$1,000, 900 miles nearer the latter than
when it is on the other side of the sun from
US, for its distance then is little more than
thousand millions Of miles. His compare
tive neighboriDess makes him and his ring
more golden bright than they are at other
times, even to the unaided eye, aud through
a telescope gives opportunity for closer in-
spectiou. The mystery Of his luminous
rings is thing unsoved, though astronomers
have not spared their speculations. There
they are--three belts OF light the two outer
ones, one 81 900, the other $4,000 miles
wide, separated by gap 1900 MILES,
mere thread 10 the tremendous diameter Of
the greater circle Q76,000 miles,; the
third mere misty shadow through which
the planets substance is plainly seen, though
10000 miles away Some think these rings
are envelopes Of gaseous fluid, and Prot
Peirce, Of Harvard, has reasoned out the
conditions uRder which such ring of fluid
might be supported by the eight bright sat
elites of Saturn, which revolve around them.
Others, again advance the theory that these
are continuous SUGGESTIONS of minute satel'
lites, analogous to, though 30 infinitely moro
numerous than, the asteroids that circle
around the sun, or those similar bodies which
some astronomers have supposed to exist a:
additional satellites to our earth, in order to
explain the zOdica light. Saturn is thought
to be world not yet cooled off for habita'
ton, in state Of gaseous change; a realT
of chaos, but hardly of old night. But thes'
matters are, as yet, but conjectures.
