A VERMONT INDUSTRY.
The Busy Brandon Manufacturing Compan

The Busy Brandon Manufacturing Company.
The monotonous and stereotyped CON-
plant of hard times has SO long prevailed
that it has acquired an ancient flavor, pro-
ducing but the impression of WEAKNESS.
The existence of an occasional striking
non-conformity is, therefore, grateful re-
lief-and the most noticeable exception to
the depressed condition of trade in the
United States at the present time, 80 far as
we are able to learn, Is the extraordinary
demand for the Howe scales.
While most manufactures in the country
are running on half time only, the Brandon
manufacturing company are pushed to the
full extent of their facilities. Seventy-five
extra men have been added, the whole
force is working day and quarter per
diem, while $500 scales are registered on
their order books. Orders have just been
received from South America for over 400
scales, and from Russia for 500 scales,
which the parties desire shipped at once.
An item alone of seven car loads and $685.
900 worth of work. 1t will therefore be
seen that the utmost capacity of the works
for months to come is required TO fill exist
ing orders, while additional ones continue
to pour in from every part of the United
States.
This incomplete statement of an unpre-
cedented condition of things in business
sufficiently demonstrates the public appre-
citation of the Improved Howe Scale. The
fewer number of bearings or friction points
that are used the advantage in having
the knife edge or pivot points in all sizes
of scales protected the dsuse of check
rods, with the many other Improvements
renders the accurate life of the Howe scale
five times that of any other make. These
improvements are protected under twenty
six different patents, and for the past ten
years they nave taken more first class pre-
miums than all others.
And this leads the preparation being
made for the centennial exhibition at Phil
adelpha. Fifty scales, each representa-
tive of a class manufactured by the Bran
uou Coiipahy, arc peiuB Huisueu VII III
style that will crafty the pride of the
American artizan. The gold, silver and
nickel plating, general finish, and their
living sensitiveness, will make them SUD
jects of wonder and curiosity to the visitors
from other nations of the Garth. Forty
five feet front by thirty-one feet deep on
the North avenue of the exposition build
ing is allotted TO the Howe scales. The
scales made for south America record
weights in both the Spanish and metric
system, and foreigners will see, al the
scales sin every language"

Death of Jerry Butterfield.

The funeral obsequies of the above
named individual were attended at the
Stone church in Cavendsh, on Sunday
afternoon, the 18th inst. Mr. b. will be
remembered by many as the long time stage
driver and mail carrier on the route be-
tween PIoctorsville and Claremont, N. II.
1t ia hardly probable that he succeeded in
LAYING by much from the avails of his.call-
ing, as he received aid from the town of
Cavendish some little time previous TO his
death. "Jerry" is remembered as ono who
was fully absorbed in his business, whether
it paid anything or not. Almost, and very
likely the very last OF aged stage drivers
who were well known in these parts a
score of years ago 1t seems sad TO think
that this one and that are finally laid away
at the public expense.
Mr.. Butteifleld ia believed never to have
been blessed with but one child, bcauti-
full daughter, who died when perhaps from
sixteen to eighteen years of age. Kate
Butterfield was as lovely girl as Is seen,
one in a thousand Universally beloved,
her death was the occasion of the sncerest
grief to all with whom she had associated,
and to her parents 1t was nothing less than
grief doubly intensified. The wife and
mother survived the daughter very few
brief years and now the husband and
father, all that was left of the family, has
"wrapped the drapery Of his couch around
| him, and laid down to dreamless slumbers.

PENDLEToN TRSTlFIEs.

WASHINGTON, March IA.
Before the committee of war expendi-
turea Pendleton testified that the Bowler
interest was fraction less than three-fifths
of the interest in the railroad. Senator
Stevenson testified in confirmation of Pen
dleton's evidence, and said he regarded the
claim as just one as ever presented.
GEN BoYNToN
with the remark that he appeared volunta-
rily and not by subpoena, testified that the
information given by him to Mr.. Nordhoff
Of the Herald was furnished by him, Col.
B. Grafton. The first intimation of the
matter, however, he had from Hon.
Jeremiah NJ. Wilson, ex-member of con-
gross, who referred him to Hon. Mr.
Shellabarger, and the latter referred him to
Col. Grafton, and Col. Grafton gave as his
authority Gen. Kiddoo of the U. s. army,
with whom the chairman of the committee
travelled and with whom the chairman con.
versed on the subject of this enquiry. Col.
Grafton informed the witness that the
friends of Mrs. Marsh said that if she was
brought before the committee she would
undoubtedly testify to having heard Mrs.
Belknap say that she received money from
the Kentucky Central railroad claim and
Col. Grafton further informed witness that
Gen. Kiddoo had gone to Mr.. Clymer and
said Here is case against Pendleton of
a character similar to that of Marsh, and
he was reminded that If he had determined
to bring Belknap down he could
not justly decline to bring Pendleton down
too and that Clymer asser ted that he had
not sufficient data to reach Pendleton and
further Mr.. Clymer was pressed with the
reioinder that Mrs. Marsh would testify to
it aud that the records of the department
would throw some light ON the case, now
the only way was to summon Mrs. Marsh
and she would tell all about the interview.
The witness understood subpoena was
obtained for Mrs. Marsh but before il
could be served she went to Canada.
PAYMENT OF THE d. c. 1855.
The interest on the 365 District of ca.
lumbla bonds will be paid at the treasur,

A Snow Slide Kills Three Men.

SALT LAKE, March IA.
A snow slide occurred at Oppir, Utah,
this morning, carrying away the boarding
house of the Poormsn mine and burying

ing their bodies are at present entertained.
The snow storm is yet raging and it ls
probable that much loss of life and pro-
perty will follow.
