A Centennial Suggestion.

It seems proper that the local celebrations of the Fourth of July, 1876, which will be held through out the land, should be made to con- tribute to permanent historical memorial of the Centennial celebra- tion. In each county provision should be made for an address tracing the history of that particular community for the past century, or from the time of it's settlement, and including sketch of it's growth, it's resources, industries, prospects, etc. These addresses should be pub lished in a uniform size,-that of the Congressional documents, for in- stance,-in order that they may be bound together by States. To compe- tent persons the preparation of such addresses would not be an unduly burdensome task; but in the aggre- gate they would constitute an in- valuable historical repository such as no nation has ever had the opper- tunity to collect.
 Designations of the historian ought to be made without delay, in order that they may have time to accom- plish their work. It is to be hoped that the press will give general cir culation to the project, and that each journal will see to it's consum- nation in it's own locality, and that the slight expense involved be assumed by the county or town authorities.

Fine MerinO Flocks.

The wool and sheep-brceding interest
which for SO long period has been an
important industry in Vermont, shows
signs OF again coming to the front. The
exhibitions made at the recent state fair
at St. Adams were among tho best ever
made In the meriDo, indicating that al.
though several of the famous focks OF
former years have been scattered, vet
there arc enterprisiDg men who arc de.
termined to maintain our reputation for
fine wool sheep and build up focks that
shall equal if not prove superior in every
regard to those in the days OF Hammond,
Sanford, Wright and Rich. Among the
foremost and most successful breeders 10
the state at the present time is Hon. Rol.
lin j. Jones of Cornwall, who has had q
wide experience has in years past sent
to different sections fine specimens of the
Spanish merino. He has probably the
finest and best flock in Vermont at
the present date, and by careful compari.
son and observation, will endeavor to
make still greater improvements. He
exhibited twenty.six of his flock at the
state fair at St. Albans, which were
noble specimens OF American sheep, The
committee worry promptly and properly
awarded him the first premium-a gold
medal-and most of the leading premi.
ums in all the classes OF merino sheep
we're awarded to him. The excellence of
the breed of bis flock was apparent in all
essential points to the experienced sheep
men. Mr.. Jones is widely known as
public man, but will be still more widely
known hereafter as the leading sheep
breeder Of Vermont. - Rutland Globe

Vermont.

1t would be hard to Gud in the world
a more complete illustration of the sue.
cess of pure Republican institutions, ad.
ministered under the principles Of true
democracy, than is presented by Yer.
mont Yot this small state, made I'd of
small communities, trains mon who fill
the largest places 10 the public eye.
None Of the prejudiccs of European wri.
tiers arc confirmed here by any such me-
diocrlty as is supposed necessary where
men grow up IN circumstances so simple,
in populations where none are rich and
none are poor. Mr.. Morrill,, the present
secretary OF the treasury, has the salts
faction OF completing great financial
negotiation, the crown to a system with
which his namesake, the senior senator
from Vermont, has, more than any other
man. been identified. This single tran.
saction. which will in the end relieve the
taxation Of the country from 40 annual
burden OF more than fifteen millions. is.
OF course, not due to the secretary of the
senate alone but it is very largely due
to the system which the senator has
steadily worked on,---aud to the revenue
which tho "Morrill tariff has steadily
earned. Mr.. Edmunds, his distinguished
colleague in the senate. is, as every one
knows, one of the leaders of the senate.
Those who remember the old times com.
pare his quiet logic with the pitiess logic
of Calhoun. The state of Vermont has
the wit and prudence to retain such men
10 her service. Abroad she is represented
BY George Perkins Marsh, one Of the frs.
scholars of our time, who for many years
served her in Congress with distinction.
How many of her sons have rendered the
country efficient service as citizens of
other states the country knows Such is
the we'll governed state which certainly,
as q matter of course throws her weight
for Hayes and Wheeler. OF such a state
the Democratic party knows that even
canvass is worthless. 1t knows from the
beginning, that that type of government
and that type of men will oppose every
project it has in hand. - Boston Adver.
