UNION CULTURE.-A correspondent OF
the Cincinnati "Gazette" says: ST have
raised nicer.onions from the seed than I
ever saw raised from the sets. 1 have
raised them from the seed of the new giant
variety so large that they were over four
inches in diameter. regard che Danver
yellow as the best that ever tried The
best ground is where it has been titled for
few seasons, and free from all kinds of
grass and weed seeds. 1t should be rich,
mellow and inclined to become hard if dry
weather should set in. In preparing your
ground, pillow as early in the spring as the
soil will do to work in. Scatter over the
ground well rotted manure to the depth of
an inch. Then harrow your ground
thoroughly. If there are any clods re-
naming, apply the roller. But do not use
the roller whenever the ground is anyways
wet Use the hand rake pretty freely. AL
ways select ground as hear levelas possible.
AS to the amount of the crop, raised one
season at the rate of 400 bushels to the
acre. But, like other crops, it depends a
great deal on the character of the season.
Plant in drills fourteen inches apart, put
ting in the seed at the rate of four pounds
to the acre. The seed should be covered
to the depth of one half inch. When the
onions can be seen in the rows, go through
with the hoe and loosed the ground, in
order to destroy the young weeds, which
will make their appearance about the sag
time the onions do. Then, again, when 9
onions are about four inches high
through and thin out. They should be Il
to stand about one to one and a half inobs
apart. No weeds or grass should be pe
mitted under any circumstances to rena A
among the onions. Good judgment 5
needed to be used concerning the man :
they should be tended, being careful 20
disturb the onion sets as little as p ossibe
when hoeing.

HOW TO TREAT SUNSTROKE.-The re-
port OF the Sanitary Committee of the
Board of Health of New York city upon
sunstroke says: "Sunstroke is caused by
excessive heat, and especially if the wealth.
er is 'muggy.' 1t is more apt to occur on
the second, third, or fourth day of a heat
ed term than on the first. Loss of sleep,
worry, excitement, close sleeping rooms,
debility, and abuse of stimulants prediS-
pose. 1t is much more apt to attack those
working in the sun, and especially between
the hours of II O'Clock in the morning and
4 O'Clock in the afternoon. On hot days

RUTLAND
DAILY and WEEKLY GLOBE.
vERMoNT's LARGEST AND BEST
NEWSPAPER.

The new year, concentrating tho compile.
ton of the first century OF our independence
and witnessing the election of u president and,
for the first time in our history, an entire ma
tional house of representatives, will be one OF
splendid possibilities both TO journalism and
the country,
THE GLOBE Will avail itself OF the former, by
giving the news, late, prompt, fresh and fun ;
by impartial comments on the news OF the
hour by candid, honest discussion of the Is
sues of the day; by full reports OF local occur
ronces, and correspondence both local and
general by agricultural readings, market re-
ports. and by selections both grave and gay
In q word, the endeavor Will be to make TuB
GLOBE live newspaper, Indispensable to the
farmer and business man, TO the politician and
student to the office, counting room and the
family circle.
That the country may realize the possibilities
seemingly in store for IT, we shall on our part,
as In times past, advocate the principles and
policy OF the republican party, as we under
stand them, and, to that end, we shall labor to
make it better and purer By combating its
errors and exposing the wrong.doers In It's
ranks. We shall favor and strive for real ad-
ministrative reform, q speedy return 70 specie
payments, an honest maintenance of the ma.
tions plighted faith, purer and better politics,
a faithful and economical administration OF the
government municipal, state and natlonal,and
shalt support only honest capable men for
Office.
As an earnest OF the future,we can only point
rons that hereafter, as heretofore, we shall en-
deavor to make The GLOBE better and better,
and more and more worthy OF support with
each succeeding month. What The GLOBE
has been during the less than three years OF It's
existence is well known, that 1t has been fully
appreciated its generous support amply attests.
As Il medium OF advertising, THE GLOBE Is un-
surpassed in vermont. The combined dolly
and weekly circulation erceeds that of any other
daily and weekly newspaper In Vermont; the
circulation OF the daily IS equal to that of any
other daily In Vermont ; the circulation OF THE
WEEKLY GLOBE Is much larg,r than the combined
circulation Of all The other tCsstly newspapers in
Rutland county and is moro than one-half
larger than that Of any other weekly Journal In
western Vermont. Advertisers maze note OF
thls,and OF the further fact that IL Is the largest
journal in the state.

There is in the possession of Herman w.

whose age was nearly thirteen at the time
of his fathers death. 1t has descended to

For the Register.
Hon. ID. Il. Martin for Congress

Hon. -. H. Martln 1Or congress.
The nomination of Mr.. Martin would
be an act of justice to a most deserving
man. His devotion and unselfish 10y
atty to the Democracy has won for him
the affection of our party and the re-
spect of all the people. Four years
ago, after an expensive and laborious
canvass he was elected to represent this
District, but Republican House de-
prived him of his seat and We were un-
represented or rather misrepresented in
the last Congress. Two years ago he was
again before the convention and was re-
tired to make room Cor Mr.. Faulkner,
and his magnanimty and unselfsh con-
duct upon that occasion increased the
number and devotion of his friends -
for he sacrificed himself 10 party har
mony and party success. Here is a
man possessing and combining the ele
ments to make him universal tavorite.
1t is well known that Mr.. Martin has
been the architect of his own fortunes.
Without family or fortune he has carved
out for himself reputation for capacity,
industry AMI integrity. His unswerv-
ing loyalty to principle has achieved
the confidence of all the voters in this
District, and he is well and widely
known as an upright, christian gentle
man, true as steel TO his friends and de-
voted to the hes: interests of his coun-
try.
1t is the fashion of certain gentlemen
who were raised in palace to scott at
self made men; but they ought to reflect
that ii they had been born between the
handles of a plow they would be driving
a mule to-day. An expensive and sys-
tematic education may, and often does,
metamorplosize a man of very moder.
ate natural ability into snowy, pedan
TIC, adroit timid hypocrite, but surely
it requires bold, seli-reliant and strong
native intellect for the child CT the pillow
to push his own career up to the very
highest honors of life, and all the time
to preserve personal history which
bids defiance to the most malicious in
spection. 1t is precisely such men, that
the country needs in this her great dis,
treSs.
Mr.. Martin commands and always
has commanded the solid support of his
county. Surely it is 10 small endorse
ment for mans neighbors, those who
know him best,to stand sponsor for him
without one dissenting voice. Taylor
county cheerfully assumes this grave re-
sponsibility and vouches for the future
conduct of her favorite son no stronger
or better endorsement could be given to
any citizen.
In view of these considerations, we
are gratifled to learn that there is a gen
eral sentiment through this District in
favor of Mr.. Martin. These are hard
times the bond holder and the million
aire cannot appreciate the distress of
those who toll and sweat tor an honest
living, and we want man TO represent
us, who regardless of himself, who for
getting his own re election will strike
one bold, manly, independent blow for
the restoration of our national prosper
ity. SELMA.

DEATH OF AN EsrIMABIE CITIZEN
Robert Harper Williamson, a notice of
whose death appears in another column
OF our paper, was born in Martinsburg,
w. Va, and was descendent of the
Harpers who were the original owners
and founders of Harper's Ferry. He
had for many years been resident of
Washington, where he married and has
since lived, occupying the house on 10th
street where he died. He filled for a
number of years, with credit TO himself,
a position in the General Land Office,
and when the department Of the Inter
ior was established, with Mr.. Ewing
appointed its head, Mr.. Williamson was
assigned the position of disbursing
clerk, in which he continued uutil
change of administration caused all the
old officers to retire. Since then he has
lived a retired lite in the adjoyment of
an ample competence and the society OF
devoted relatives and friends. He was
well known to most of the old residents
of the city, and shared the respects of
all who knew him. Perhaps his most
noted characteristic was that OF kind
ness and cheerfulness in his domestic
relations. His desire to make all happy,
shed continued ray of brightness, CON
tentment and pleasure over the family
circle, and exercised most happy in
fuence on all within it. Besides the
regret which his death will cause his
friends generally, it brings with it the
deepest sorrow and grief to his devoted
and attached relatives; who have for so
many years experienced the benefits of
his atfectionate care, and of his solicit
tdde for their welfare and happiness.
His death was caused by no marked
disease, but was chiefly the result of
decline attendant upon lis advanced
age. His departure was tranquil and
free from that suffering which often &C
companies the severance of this earthly
tie.-Ipashingfon STAR l0fh June.

EVERYBODY SHOULD Go.-There is
some talk that the Cumberland Valley
Railroad will run special train from
this place to the Centennial grounds
shortly after harvest, in order to give
everybody an opportunity to spend one
day at the exhibition. The train, if
started will leave here about two o'clock
in the morning, and run to the Centcn-
NAL grounds in six hours, placing its
passengers on the grounds about eight
o'clock. 1t will then leave the grounds
about I o'clock 2. M, and arrive at |
o'clock, thus giving over nine hours on
the grounds. To those who desire to
see the Exhibition, and yet do not care
to undergo the expense of a long stay,
this is an excellent opportunity. Nine
hours on the grounds will be sufficient
to give one pretty good idea Of the
immensely OF the exhibition, and an OPP
portunity to see more than they can ev-
err again hope to seein the same amount
of time anywhere else. If such an ex-
cursion is decided upon, we imagine
there will be large number who will
take advantage of it. Those who visit
the Exhibition during this month will
find it much more pleasant, because less
crowded. than at later day.-Nartins-
burg Independent.
