The governor question still absorbs
considerable attention, but no new phase
presents itself. unless the report that a
secret canvass is being made for Colonel
Mead, is true. From the present out
look, we judge Mr.. Estey to be ahead,
though few delegates have been chosen.
The State press is in majority for him.
His opponents, Mr.. Harris, Col. Mead,
Hon. Z. P. Walton and Gov. Peck, will
have no small following among their own
personal favorites, and from that consid-
cradle class who think MIR. Estey has
taken altogether too much pains to FORE
stall public opinion on this question.
The attempt to buy up or bolster up a
reputation in the State, by the aid of
political runners" or other unfair
means, is not creditable to the parties
for whom it is done, and we hope such
persons will not be selected for promi-
nent positions in Vermont. Judge Peck
is, without any question, the most able
if not the most worthy candidate named
for the place and it is probably true
that he has done nothing by way of per
sonal solicitations, letters, runners" o.
otherwise. to get single vote. The peO
pie ought to remember this fact.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Philadelphia Times believes that
Ohio and Indiana will be the real bat
tle-ground.
The Bismarck Dakota) Tribune says,
blaine is the ITibme's choice above
all others, but Bristow will do"
The Syracuse IN. " Courier notes
with keen satisfaction the movement to
bring forward Horatio Seymour as a
Presidential candidate.
The Lawrence Republican Journal is
confident that the overwhelming senti-
ment of the Republicans of Kansas is in
favor of the nomination of Mr.. Blaine.
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Herald credits Senator Wadleigh,
of New Hampshire, with being the most
out-spoken advocate for Bristow in the
Senate.
Senator Pinckney Whyte, of Maryland
thinks that States delegation should 20
to st. Louis entirely unpledged. An
effort will be made, he says. in the COM
ing State Convention to heal all the dis
sensions in the party in the State.
The Wilmington (Del.) Commercial
is not pleased that the delegates from
that State to Cincinnati should be in
structed for Blaine. 1t says Mr.. Blaine
has many friends there, but it thinks a
majority of the Republicans prefer Mr..
Bristow.
Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, ventures
the prediction that the name of Gen.
Sherman will get before the Cincinnati
Convention, and that although he is not
a candidate, when his name is before it,
it may grow upon 1.-THE convention until
his nomination is made unanimous.
Looking at Ohio the Syracuse Courier
says: 1.-THE currency question, which
has been altogether too much neglected
by Congress, is bound to enter into the
campaign as an important one. The
financial question will be forced un-
doubtedly to a direct issue before the
Presidential contest this Fall.
The Albany Times says that 1t has
assurances that the reluctance of ex-Gov
Seymour to become candidate for Pres
ident is unfeigned. 1t, therefore, ad
vises the bringing forward of the name
, of Sanford E. Church as the only re
naming hope of uniting the Democracy
| of New-York cordially and earnestly
. upon a Presidential nomination from
q this State.
The Detroit Post says: "True reforr
5 means not only an honest, but strong

Why not call the district convention
at once and put an end to one of the
sources of political skirmisning in this

too much politics in the air for pleasure

News from the grasshOpper region of

and we suppose they see the situation
and rather keep out of the fight than go
on to get clicked"
We hope the peculiar industry and at
tention to business, which now is seen in
Mr.. Hendee, may last through his whole
term of Office. be it two OF three terms,
and that we shall all have occasion to
be proud of him when his career in con-
gress ends; but death-bed repentance is
not popular among the devout, and is
not believed in. at all. by skeptics.
Notwithstanding what Mr.. Hendee is
now doing. we believe that there are a
great many men in the district that
would be glad to vote for any strong
candidate, upon whose honesty and en-
ergy they could rely.
Mr.. Hendee has one advantage that
no new man could have-experience {;
and if he is disposed to do something,
during another term. he will be better
able than heretofore. But the pill is
bitter, with all the sugar coating with
which it can be covered, and we refuse
to take that kind of medicine at present.

Prom the Name Farmer.
4 Hint 10 Gardeners.

Last summer tried little experiment
with my squash patch, which, proving a
success, give for the readers OF the good
old Farmer. The experiment was sug-
gested by noticing that squash vines were
inclined TO climb, and whenever there was
an opportunity the vines would mount 4
fence or into the branches Of an apple
tree, and that such vines generally yielded
the largest and ripest squashes. lmproy-
ing on this natural propensity Of the vine
| procured from the lot where | cut my
wood the previous winter the tops OF
few dcciduous trees, sharpened the ends,
and set them with a crow-bar, about as |
would fence stakes, between the hills, as
soon as the vines commenced running
Most Of the vines found their way up the
tops and in the fall | harvested fine lot
Of nice, ripe squashes, which kept well
and still have a few dozen Of sound
squashes for spring use. The Marblehead
squash l think one Of the best keepers.
Pinching off the ends OF the vine after
two or three squashes have formed will
cause a more rapid and larger growth. \
couple Of shovel fulls of old manure COW
ering the tendrills of the vine lying on
the ground will also cause larger squashes
TO grow. BY this method Of training the
vines the fruit is more open TO the sun
and air, and causes it to ripeu better and
it is of sweeter favor, and, also, by the
falling and mixing of the pollen the
fruit blossoms are less liable 10 blight.

Mr.. L. S. Hardin of Louisville, KY,
has recently made series of experiments
regarding the setting Of milk. He states
that deep setting accompanied with re-
frigeration is the best plan. The milk is
placed in cans from Il to 20 inches deep
and $ in diameter. These are put in a
refrigerator box, with shelf in the top
upon which ice is placed, and the temper
ature is reduced below So. The milk
is skinned after SO hours. The cream
is ehurned at So in warm, and 637 in
cold weather. The butter is said to be of
superior flavor and aroma, uniform in
quality, and to keep well, and greater
weight is obtained from given quantity

We claim superior 20 all other kinds IN use, ior
the following reasons
lst The presser foot Is always raised from the
fabric when the iced takes place, thereby present
ing no resistance TO seams or ridges while Ieedlhg'
9d. The needle being in the fabric, moving with
the rerticGl feedIdr-with it, ul pressure on me
goods, renders the feed sure and strong, and the
stitch uniform in length.
81. The needle being in the goods at the time
the feed takes place. renders II impossible TO ful
piece while the other IA stretched.
ith The rerficdi feed bar being behind the
needle renders it capable Of sewing elastic goods,
making n smooth aud flexible seam with stitch
alike on both sules-thus enabling the sewing OF
any number Of thicknesses without basting, and
operating with equal facility on the heaviest as
well as the lightest fabrics.
In addition 10 the foregoing Invaluable and IN
dspensoble features, which are peculiar TO this
machine alone, we urge the following additional
points:
lst. Simplicify.-It has no under works 10 be
looked ailer or get out of order.
ID. DUrdbilRy-Its working parts are made Of
the best improved steel are compact, strong ana
durable.
Sd. ERciency.-It is the largest machine man
uiactured that Is adapted for family sewing; It's
81 inch arm enables IL TO do greater variety of
stitching from the lightest cambria through all
grades OF fabric TO harness leather and do II so
well that the same machine may be used either IN
manufacturing or family sewing with equal facil'
lty.
ith PrdcticGbili.y aud EeoRomy.-It runs at q
high rate Of speed, which, combined with It's pc
culiar feed enables the operator 20 turn the work
OF any angle while The machine is In null motion,
without changing the tension or length of stitch,
consequently II can easily do in given time one
third more work than any rotary or four motion
feed. II excels in hemmng, Telling, tucking,
braiding, cording. binding, quilting, rufling; IT
will make wide and narrow hens, hem all manner
OF bias wooden goods son merino, Grape cloth,
OF goods difficult to hem on other machines Hnd
for all of which IL has attachments especially
adapted For carriage trimming shoe Hitting,
