Mr.. Editor Il see by the papers
that an effort is to be made at the
next setting Of the Legislature to re-
map the State as far as the counties
are concerned, or in other words to
change the present county lines and
county shires, and also to create new
counties. Without doubt in some
particulars the scheme will be success
full. In 1874 bill passed the House
20 create new county, to be created
from towns taken from Windsor and
Windham counties mostly but it failed
by small majority in the Senate.
And the the main argument against
it was, that when a beginning was
made there should be general change
in the State. The main argument
% in favor was, that the county courts
were so crowded with business, espec-
tally in the larger counties, that the
dockets were so long as to render it
impossible TO clear them or to execute
justice TO parties in interest by at
tending to their cases. There was
also great night in Orleans county
to remove the shire from Irasburg to
Barton Or Newport, the former place
being the one meant, and bill passed
both benches allowing the county to
vote on the question, but it was a
three -cornered affair and didn't
amount to anything. 1t is possible
that strong effort will be made to
set Concord to Caledonia county, be-
ing so near and in that case to re-
move the shire of Essex county to
Brighton. Orleans is anxious or the
Passumpsic r. R. towns to dispose oil
Charlestown, Holland and Morsa an,
so the shire would 60 to Barton, and
those towns would be nicely conven-
ed at Island Pond. Caledonia oil
course is anxious for Concord, as
they made strong effort for her q
few years ago. Of course those that
have their pet schemes are very Glow
and quiet" and such towns will send
their best men, or most influential
ones to insure success, and of course
all opposed will do the same if they
are aware of the facts in season. OF
course when new. counties are created
or the shires altered, it will cause
quite tax to build the necessary
county buildings. VOTER.

ON WHOLESALE MURDER.


It was said fever came into place.
Seventeen died in spite of the doctors; another
the doctors said could not live through the
night; the dying plead for water, it was given
him, and he recovered; we must set this down to
be the true way of doCtoring-the other way
wholesale murder and disgrace.
1t is said the fever went on, they gave all the
cold water that was wanted and dOctored this
vegetable way-did not lose patient
Reader, let us take up with Pauls advice, hay
ing these promises let us cleanse ourselves
from all fthiness of flesh and spirit, fear God,
work righteousness and be patient.
Let us hear what the Ievelator says about the
three classes The devil that deceived them
was cast into lake of fire and birthstone with
the false prophets to be tormentcd forever and

Reader, let lis strive to live so rs not to be turn

Michael G. Kerr, Speaker of the Nation
al House Of Representatives, died at Rock
bridge, Alum Springs, w. Va, on the 10Th
inst, Of consumption Of the bowels. He
had been hopelessly out of health for
months and unable to preside over the
House, consequently his death is no sur.
prise to the country. A dispatch to the
New York World from S. S. Cox, says:
have been by his side for two days
His last hours were painless, as he Sc
much desired. His composure was as re.
markable as it was heroic. He was thor.
oughly content, and prepared for the un.
seen world. He was conscious and in.
telligent, gentle and brave to the end.
