great sensation. The watches and

Vermont Dairy Items.

The reporter of the Utica, N. V, HeraM,
thus speaks of the Vermont dairy interests
in his letter from Rutland, under date of
Jan. 90:
The dairy manufacture has for several
years been pushing eastward as well as
westward from the valley of the Mohawk.
In Vermont dairy herds are slowly super
seding sheep herds, and cheese factories,
nesting in the abrupt mountain valleys,
cause the pilgrim from central New York
to feel at home in a strange land. In Mas
sachusetts, too, eXperlmenters and prac-
teal daiIymen are working within
an hours journey of Faneuil Hall
and Connecticut has already establish
ed an experimental farming and dai-
ry station. In Vermont there are now
70 factories located chiefly in Rutland. Ad-
Disco and Chittenden counties. Creamer-
les and butter factories have not yet APP
peared. Many of the herds are numerous,
the average number of cows being as large
as in Hcrkmer county. The dairymen
here, are enterprising and progressive men;
they freely acknowledge their indebtedness
to the investigators of New York for val.
liable suggestions, while at the same time
they manifest Just pride in the labors of
mems association vas organized seven
years ago, and like so many other useful
projects, its early labors were carried for
ward amid opposition and Encouragement
But its influence has steadily increased, and
it is now looked upon as one of the neces-
sary and characteristic institutions of the
state. The annua convention last year was
held at Montpelier, and it was then deemed
advisable to adjourn to more central
point 10 the state Rutland was the village
chosen in which to hold the seventh annual
convention. Rutland is a clean, substan-
tal town, situated romsntically among the
high and abrupt hills for which Vermont
is famous. Their prevailing green hue is
now faded into hazy blue, which tint is
assumed in winter.
The correspondent is mistaken in refer
ence to creameries, as within six miles of
Rutland is Marshall's creamery at North
Clarendon, equal to any in Central New
York

From Burlington Free Press.l
Governor Peck and the Centennial.

The Boston 7rareller is probably right
in its remark, that Vermont will do moth
ing towards the centennial exhibition be-
cause the governor cannot trust The legisld-
tire. We have not the highest opinion of
the legislatures we get together under our
one-,erm rule but we have not doubt
that if the legislature had held a regular
session last fall, an appropriation for the
centennial would have been made. Had
there been the knowledge of the subject and
interest in it, in 1874, that there is now, an
appropriation would then have been made.
1t really WAS hardly thought Of So now
it has seemed to us that the members
might be trusted to assemble, take a day
and no more for the session, Makes
moderate appropriation 10 supply the
previous omission, appoint the necessary
officers to secure its judicious expenditure,
and adjourn. But Others thought they
saw a huge cat under the meal. They
feared some dreadful extravaganza or
some plot in the line of railroad legisla-
ton or ''swindIe' of some sort or
another, if the Legislature should assemble.
Some held up hands IN horror over III, in
crease of taxation that would be involved,
though it would be covered by an addt-
ional assessment of one cent on the
grand list-in fact no addition would be
required, for the state is Substantially
out of debt and has a surplus in the treas
ury. Enough Of such opposition was de-
veloped, to make it questionable whether
it was hest to call an extra session, and the
governor, with his customary caution, has
decided accordingly to do nothing about it.
Perhaps the fearful souls judged best.
Perhaps Governor Peck acted under the
weight of considerations that we have not
appreciated. We only hope that the neg
lect of our state to take any part as a com
monweal,h in the great exposition, may
not hereafter he a cause of serious mortif-
cation to her citizens.

A Den of Thieves Broken lin

Barron, proprietor of the Junction house,
had occasion Sunday to visit farm house
owned by him, located about one mile be-
low West Lebanon, and occupied by a
wood chopper named Sommers. MIR. Bar
ron discovered that the bulk head of the
cellar was broken in, and investigation dis
closed the fact that one barrel OF native
wine out of large lot stored there was
missing Monday, in company with Dep
uty Sheriff Emerson, Mr.. Barron searched
the premises, ard the search resulted in the
discovery of a lot Of dry goods, groceries
and medicines secreted between the parti-
tions of the house, and 100 pounds OF TO-
bacco were found in bed, on which Mrs.
Sommers had thrown herself when the
search began. A further search will be
made. Sommers and his wife and daugh-
ter are under arrest. Other parties are I'M
plicated, and other arrests will follow, and
what seems to be a well organized scheme
OF plundering trains will be broken up.

WILSON'S CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT

Next to proposing financial measures,
the principal mania with which the men,
bers of the present congress are afflicted is
that of introducing constitutional amend
ments. The last effort in this direction
was made Monday, by Mr.. James Wilson,
republican, of Iowa, in the shape of prop
osition that the terms of members of con-
gress shall commence on the first day of
January instead Of on the fourth day of
March. Knowing, from sad experience,
the danger of judging of the contents Of
bill introduced into the congress, from Its
title, and the improbability of judging cor
rectly of its nature from an associated
press report thereof, nevertheless, we have
few words of comment to make on this
proposed constitutional amendment
biindly trusting to the possibility that, for
once, the nature of the measure is some
where nearly correctly reported in the as
ISOLATED press dispatch and its object dimly
disclosed in its title.
1t may be all well enough to have the
terms of representatives in congress COM
mence January /, instead of March 4-of
this we have nothing to say, except that it
may be "debatable question: of
what earthly use is it to amend the consi-
tuition in order TO effect it Mr. Wilson
may not know it, but the constitution does
not fix the day for the commencement Of
the terms of office Of representatives in
congress. Neither does it prescribe the
length of their term Of Office, any further
than by providing that "ihe house of rep
resentativcs shalt be composed of men,
81 ers chosen every second year. The
fair and reasonable, perhaps the only, in
ference Is, that they shall hold office for
two years; us well as he "chosen' every
" second year"-and, in any event, custom
and usage have so determined, and such il
accepted rs the strict construction of the
provision. The constitution, however, is
silent as 10 The day when the term of office
of the representative shall commence, and
contains ~ provision from which such a
day can, ~,sonablv or otherwise, be in
ferred.
Let MS see how the fourth of March came
10 he fixed rs the day upon which represen-
lalives in congress should commence their
term ut Office, The constitution having
i~en framed by the convention called for
that purpose, the convention, September

ton TO be, by it, submitted 10 the several
