Fanatics in Vermont.

In 1913 set OF people sprung up in,
Leyden, Mass, and spread into Vermont
whose founder was /. British refugee from
Burgoync's army, by the name Of Dorrill.
lie claimed to be superhuman, and to have
power to give Immortality to all who be.
lieved in him. They lived on vegetables,
rejected all laws Of God or mau and followed
the dictates of their own passions. They
met once week to eat, drink, hear Dorrll's
exhortatons, fiddle and dance. At one Of
these meetings spectator Captain Foster,
a man Of giant frame, heard Dorril asserting
that mo arm Of flesh can hurt me-" The
Captain squared off aud knocked the mpos-
tor heels over head and as the fellow picked
himself up Foster knocked him down again,
aud beat him till he renowned his nonsense
and his followers, dsgusted, fed from him,
and that was the end Of Dorrillsm 10 YER

Ia 1917 Isaac Billiard came from Ascot
Canada, and set up to be prophet. With a
leathern grdc about his loins, he traverse1
the country; aud a flock of fools followed
him and became his disciples A Christian
minister named Joseph Bell believed in Bull
laTu, auu NlelnOulSt munster named I1OllneS
also Joined the sect. They all put their
property into common stock, and Billiard
gave to eoch what he pleased They were
married and unmarried, were rewarded or
punished as he directed. Flthness was
their cardinal virtue, and old and young,
male and female, rolled in the dirt Of the
street. Pilgrims they called themselves
aud finally emigrated to the West in a
body. At Cincinnati they were REINFORCED
by new members. When they reached New
Madrid they made halt, aud there broke
up, dispersed, and most of them persisted.
Ia 1887 one Bridgeman, becoming par
tally dcranged, claimed TO be divinely in-
spred. He gathered lot Of half.cracked
people like himself and they began a mis-
sion Of disturbing religious meetings by
screams and yells, pretending they were act
ing under the power of the Spirit. They
got possession of a meeting house in Hard
wick and held service there barking like
dogs aud initiating the noises Of beasts. But
their chief worship was rolling on the floor
and they got the name Of "lloly Rollers.
A very sensible clergyman, the Rev. Chester
Wright, exposed them in a plain sermon

tory as the Roumanians will allow that coun-
try to transport troops across their territory.
In this country, though great interest is
taken in the probable disposal Of tho war,
the chief speculation is as to the amount Of
export trade gained by such conflict. Eng
land and Russia, it is acknowledged, will be the
chiet combatants. The former country has
for many years past drawn largely upon
Russia for her supply Of bread stuffs. 10
case Of war she must fud another market
from which to draw her supplies, and where
shall she look but to the United States. With
her immense area Of wheat aud corn produc.
ing lands there is no country that can so
easily furnish them as the United States.
Prices would of course advance, great nc
tivity in the market would be the result and
the whole country would feel the good effects
OF the increased demand. Other articles of
food which are produced in profusion by the
United States would find an easy market on
the other side Of the Atlantic. The dealers
in military weapons, too, would dispose Of a
large stock of their wares in case Of gen.
eral European war. So while we deprecate
the probability of war and oil its accom-.
pauying horrors, we cannot refuse to gladly
seize any opportunity for the restoration of
our depressed commerce with all proper dis
patch. But there is yet a chance for peace,
though nearly all think that the division Of
Turkey cannot be delayed longer than the
coming spring and it is very likely to be
served up in European thanksgiving din

Tue ORIGIN OF "llOME, SWEET lIOME'n-
The following is the history of "llome Sweet
Home" as Mr.. Reed says the author related
it to him, in Tunis MIR. Payne has written
several pieces for tho stage that had met
with considerable favor, and had been sent
for to go to Paris to look after the introduce
ton Of one Of them in one of the theatres Of
that city. 1t was the afternoon before Christ
mas, and, although in winter, the day was
bright and pleasant After strolling about
for time, he seated himself 10 the Garden
of the Tuileries, and became quiet obser-
yer of the life and gayety Of that brilliant
promenade. While sitting there he thought
of the pleasures his acquaintance had told
him they expected to have the next day,
and reflected that, although in the midst Of
all this gay throng he was without home
and friends, and was really the most lonely
person in the world. All through the day
he had been humming TO himself an air,
which pleased him very much, that he had
heard in the theatre the previous evening,
when he had listened to an opera by Doni-
zetti, called Anne Bocyn," in which the
air of "IIome, Sweet Home" occurs. After
little he began to arrange these reflections
into verse, adapting it to this air, aud be-
fore leaving his seat, a song that has since
touched the tenderest chord Of millions Of
hearts had its origin. lie then went to his
room and wrote out the song, aud on show
ing it to some of his Acquaintances, they
advised him to have it published. lie did
so, aud the next time he went to London 1t
was sung for the first time in public at
Covent Garden theatre, aud Immediately
became very popular.-Iadepeadent.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

Is has long been our intention to place
the editorial management of the FARMER
both general and agricultural, in the charge
of one person, when the opportunity should
be presented for securing person of suita-
bic qualifications. Not until this time has
that opportunity been presented. But now
we are happy to say to the readers and
friends of the FARMER that we have secured
the services of LEWIS b. HIBBARD, as man
aging editor Of this paper. Mr.. Hubbard is
well known as clear, fresh and vigorous
writer, an independent thinker, and man Of
generous, liberal sympathes. He is not
without experience in journalism. During
the last two years, while recruiting his health
on a farm in Charlotte, he has rendered con-
siderable service as special correspondent
and editorial contributor of the Rutland
Herald. Judge james T. Robinson, of the
North Adams Transcript, the ablest repub-
lican paper of Berkshire county, Mass, said
of journal which Mr.. Hubbard was con.
Quoting in that locality:
The Echo is edited with rare ability,
Judgment and courage. That a man so
busily employed as Mr.. Hubbard should find
time for so considerable an addition to his
labors is noticeable to say the least; that he
should so readily acquire the newspaper
sense" of selecting matter suited to his
purpose and of interest to his readers, and
should present it with such marked freshness
and vigor is even more noticeable f; but better
still and rarer is the courage with which he
avows opinions without regard to their present
popularity"
With positive taste for agricultural pur-
suits, and a thorough knowledge of agricul-
ture, gained by study as well as practice,
Mr.. Hibbard combines large acquaintance
with Vermont and Vermonters, and lively
interest in all that pertains to the welfare of
the people and the industries of the state
qualities that, if not absolutely necessary,
are quite essential to the proper conduct Of
state agricultural and family newspaper
BY his assistance and the untring zeal which
heis noted for applying to any work he under
takes, we hope to make the FARMER vastly
better than it now is or ever has been, and
in fact Indispensable to every agriculturis'
or wide awake citizen OF the state.
Mr.. Hubbard is now at the Centennial
whence he will return to the farm Of which
he is the manager, for a few days, and ther
be at his post on the FARMER.
A prospectus and further announcement
for the coming year will be issued in few
weeks. ROYAL CUMMINGS, Publisher.

The legislature does not seem to approach

The legislature does not seem to approach
any of the important subjects expected to
come up at this session, as yet. Perhaps
they are digesting them, so as to present
them in perfect form. The Rutland Globe
is making quite stir Throughout the state
by its exposures" Of the leaks which it
maintains are entirely too large for the rural
state of Vermont. Others insist that the
expenses are very small in comparison with
those of other states, and that Vermont is
the most economically governed state in the
Union. However this may be, it will do nc
hurt to ventilate such things, for if there are
things that ought to be remedied, then O
great deal Of good is accomplished if there
are not, then what's the harm done?
