CoMPLIMENTARY.-The Free Press sum-
marizes the results Of the herculean labors Of
our legislature, and we hope the members
will cut it out and paste it in their hats to read
now aud then for their comfort after the ses-
sion isclosed and they abide in the solitude and
oblivion Of their homes "The practical re.
suits Of the present session of the legislature
are not of astonishing magnitude, thus far.
Of the Al bills which Governor Fairbanks
had approved up to Wednesday, ten were
amendments to acts already on the statute
books; five were to legalizs grand lists, and
an equal number to lay taxes on towns and
four were to pay private individuals various
sums. This makes "a and the remaining

PouLTRY SHOw.-The Ottaquechee Valley
Poultry Association will hold a poultry
show at the town hall in Woodstock, Dec
Goth and 2lst. The society gave an exhibit
ton last year which was very successful.
The special feature this year will DO an
ancient goose, owned in Woodstock, said to
have reached the age of IS years. 1t is not
stated whether this is the bird that laid the
egg which gave one Christopher Columbus
his worldwide fame several centuries since,
but the aged fowl will be we'll worth seeing
and be q standing robuke to the host Of
quacks Of later times. Besides this goose,
generous premiums should induce many to
attend.

ESdLANDS COuRsE,-The course which the
British cabinet has resolved upon in case
Russia lnvades Turkey is this. The British
army rpswll Immediately occupy Constanti-
nople aud defend it from all attacks 1t is cllcu-
lated that not more than $4,000 troops are
eeded, and British engineer officers are al
ready making surveys for prolonged defence
of the Turkish capitol. Englauds object is
not to participate in war between Russia
and Turkey, who may fight out their quar-
rel, whether in Asia or Europe, but to pro.
tect Coustantinope and the Dardanelcs
from capture by Russia. England would
simply hold C1nstantiuope in pledge tenn
porarily in behalf of other powers aud the
world at large. As soon as a state is formed
on the Bosphorus, or such other arrangement
effected as Europe may ultimately determine
upon for the wardcnShip Of the Dardaneles,
England would willingly withdraw. Thus
the ministerial policy is perfectly clear and
free from future ENHANCEMENT. 1t has
distinct object Of vital Importance to Brit.
ish interests, and beyond that object the
government will not Finqncier, London.

SUNsHINE.-The world wants more sun
shine in its disposition, in its business, in its
charities, in its theology. For ten thousand
of the pains and arches and irritations of
men and women we recommend sunshine
1t stimulates better than champagne. 1t is
better than plaster for wound, The Good
Samaritan poured more of this into the trav-
elers gas than of OIL Florence Nightingale
used it on the Orimeau battle-Gelds. Take
it into all the allys, in board all the ships,
by all the sick-beds, 1t is good for spleen,
for liver complaint, for neuralgia, for rheu-
matism, for falling fortunes, for melancholy.
We suspect that heaven itself is only more
sunshine.

UMBRELLA ETIoUITTE, the much
vexod question whether it is the duty of the
gentleman to offer his umbrella to a lady
who has been overtaken by a storm, aud
with whom he has not the honor of being ac-
quainted, eminent authority lays down the
rule that it is right to do so, but that if the
lady is young she had better refuse should
there be any place of refuge close at hand,
II, however, there is not, or if she is pressed
for time, she may accept the offer, but she
must not speak to the gentleman who is
holding the umbrella over her and must
merely bow in the most distant manner when
she arrives at her destination.

We hope, therefore, that If the legislature
puts itself on record in this matter, it will,
in harmony with the instincts Of our people
for justice, with tho noble traditions of our
state, the brilliant fame of Vermont's legis-
lativc proceedings, and the just demands of
the timc for reform, call for speedy and
entire repeal Of the bankrupt law.

Tho TOwbOat Kellogg Bursts q Valve
Her Clerk SeaIded 10 Death.
The towboat j. N. Kellogg, Captain
Little in command, which left here Sat-
urdsy for st. Louis with a tow of empty
ice barges, burst a valve connecting with
the syphon pump, this morning at half
past one o'clock, at the foot of Island
81. The clerk, Fred Hayden, was sleep
ing in a ststeroom directly over where
the valve bursted. The steam forced the
decking Of the cabin up in bis room sew
eral inches, the conclusion turning him
from head to foot in his berth and the
steam scalding MIN to death and plaster
ing the bulkheads with portions Of bis
hair and peeled.of skin, The crew
made every effort to save him, but to no
avail. The crew and those who went to
his aid knocked 10 the bulkhead Of his
stateroom in hopes of saving him, but
they were too late as be was beyond
human aid. The room in which he met
his sad fate shows marks of the great
force Of the steam, the floor being forced
up and the brlkheads moved. The de.
ceased was a single man, aud a resident
of Springfield, Illinois. He was well
known in St. Louis, where be shipped
on the boat.
After the fearful accident the Kellogg
mo lred her tow at the foot Of the Island
and Captain Little returned here thii
morning with the remains, which viii
be forwarded to his friends. No on,
else was hurt by the accident. The boa.
came into port with her colors at hal
mast. She will make repairs and return
up the river.
The accident was quite unexpected
aud caused much CONSERVATION on board
Mr.. Hayden was a favorite with the off
GERS Of the boat, and they all deeply
regret bis sad fate. Captain Little snt
his officers did all in their power to saw

The Big River.

1t is noticed that the drift aud heavy
current of the Mississippi is now coming
down through the Tennessee chute above
the city, and this throws the drift and
current out near mid stream instead Of
against the steamboat landing as for
merly. 1t is believed that this result has
been caused by the cutoff at Devils e.
bow, and should this be so a steamboat
channel may be forming through the
Tennessee chute which years ago was
the main river. Over at Hopefeld every
thing seems to be under water, HopeGeld
Lake and the river having overlewed
that section OF country opposite the
city. Many houses are deep in water,
and men are busily engaged in throwing
up temporary levees to keep outthe high
tide. At the navy-yard and surrounding
locality the river has backed up in every
direction, forming lakes and pools in
Happy Hollow and threatening property
in the vicinity Of the coal yards, oil
gIls, etc.

To the Patrons and Creditors of the
"SOuthern CathOlte.D

We consider it due to our numerous
friends who have heretofore supported
the Southern Catholic to make the fol-
lowing statement. 1t is also due to our
selves that we make it:
We received from the Rev. G. Tan.
querey, one Of the editors aud proprietors
Of the Southern Cross, a proposition to
consolidate the Southern Catholic and
Southern Cross, We answered the
proposition, stating terms on which we
would consolidate. Bishop Gross, one
Of the owners of the Southern Cross. in
conjunction with Rev. G. Tanquerey,
wrote US through the Rev. F. T. Miller,
the principal editor of the Southern
Cross, the following letter accepting u
proposition. We wrote our valedictory
and closed the Southern Catholic after
making this contract with Bishop Gross.
We forwarded him our subscription list
that he might supply our subscribers
with the paper. After all this his rever-
ence now refuses to comply with his
contract,
We will institute suit against his
Reverence Bishop Gross, and Reverend
G. Tanquerey, for damages for failing
and refusing to comply with their o n
tract, after causing the suspension OF
the Southern Catholic.
Our patrons will have to wait until
this matter is settled before we can settle
with them.

Many q girl has a beau who is very at
%tentive, and says all manner OF nice
things, but doesn't propose, and hnally
deserts her; and the next thing she hears
of him is that "he is paying attention to
another" Such cases often come before
our notice, and experience generally tells
us that in most instances such a young
man never has any real love for anybody
but himself, and that all he cares for
when he pretends to love a girl is to
amuse himself as long as he may choose
and end by going off Wien he is tired. A
man who stops paying attention to q lady
on the pretenee that his love is changed,
that he loves her no longer, bat now loves
another, is q conscious deeeiver. He
knows very we'll that be has not loved,
and thet he does not love, and that he
does notintend TO keep his faith with any
of the girls he is trifing with True love
does not seek change, nor will 1t give up
It's object for any but overwhelming
reasons.
