SOME papers assert that Grant has
softening of the brain, and is likely to
become totally insane, and give as
their reason for this belief. that he is
turning out all of the honest Office
holders and putting in incompetent
men. Grant is not insane, nor is he
at all likely to become so. The only
reason for his conduct is. that he will
retain no man in Office of whom he
cannot make a tool and pimp, and his
policy is to rule or ruin.

The Reading Room.

The Reading Room organized so
promptly some weeks since, by the gen
erosity of the citizens of this place, and
under the auspices of the Temperance
Reform Club, has thus far even more
than met expectations. 1t has been we'll
occupied day and evening, and those
who assemble there have enjoyed pleas
ant hour or more either in reading or
socially, During the week day even
ings there are usually present of both
sexes, from thirty to fifty persons, and
on some occasions more. Singing has
been quite prominent feature and the
ladies who volunteered to play the or.
gan have not failed to do their whole
duty. The presence of the ladies has
no doubt contributed much to the excel
lence which has prevailed.
The hall is in the care of Mr. L, S.
Hayes, secretary of the club, and has
thus far been kept in good condition, and
while he has faithfully performed his
duty, those who frequent it have been
orderly at all times. 1t is well furnish
ed with chairs, settees and tables. On
Monday several brackets were hung to
the walls which will be found very use
full. The organ stands a few feet in
front of the platform and the walls are
hung with various notices and pictures,
and in many ways has an inviting APP
pearance. A prominent picture is The
Signing of the Declaration of Independ-
ence," over the platform. Two other
pictures represent the Declaration of In
dependence and Lincoln's Emancipa
ton proclamation. OF the other pic
lures there is one of the late vice presi
dent Wilson, several chromos represent
ing landscapes, Yo Semitic Valley Seen

are: Welcome" Whatsoever "
would that men should do to you, do yt
even so to them" Lead us not into
Temptation. On the tables are the
leading daiies of Boston, and New York
and many other periodicals.
The officers of the club have beer
efficient in their duties throughout and
may well feel just pride in what they
have accomplished.
These details may not be ofspecial in
terest, but to day this Reading Room is
an established institution, and certainly
a very creditable one to the place, com
bining the good and the useful and vel
worthy of record The hall is admira

SHEEP RAISING IN ADDISON COUNTY.
The labor and care bestowed upon the
focks of Spanish merino sheep by the
breeders of this county during the last
few years of depression and discourage
ment to those engaged in the business
have not been lost. This county is, by
this care and attention, still the head
quarters of the business. Breeders from
all parts of the west come here to secure
the stock with which to improve their
focks, and reasonable though not ex-
travagant prices are realized. This
week we have had another illustration
of this statement. On "Wednesday two
car loads of fine rams were shipped from
the Middlebury station, for Mr.. Samuel
Archer, of Kansas City. The selections
and purchases were made by Mr.. Albert
Chapman, who also accompanies the
sheep through to their destination. Mr.
W. L. Crockett of New Mexico, has
lately been making purchases from the
best focks in the county, choice selec-
