A Gold Mine in East Middlebury.

East Mddlebury has been somewhat ex.
cited of late by the report that gold mine
has been discovered IN the town. News
paper comments and paragraphs have ap-
peared from line to time, some of them
predicting a bonanzl, while others, be-
lieving that glittering particles are not al
ways gold, have "drawn it more mildly"
1t remains for reporter of Boston pa
per, however, to give the following glow
ing description of the "nelts." He says
the mine is situated in the eastern part of
the village of East Middlebury, aud is in
very billy region, being in fact some dis.
lance up the Green Mountains, probably
about mile. The road leading up to it is
steep and rocky, but is much used by the
farmers who live up on the mountain for
drawing down their farm produce and saw
ing to the flats below. Two miles beyond,

The Tilden Programme

1t is lllcl,t to discover the democratic
programme. There does not rs yet appear
to be one; democrats say that it will be
known within ten DAYS. Those who talk
the loudest declare that the house will with

resolution declaring that there has been no
election by the electoral college that it
will elect Tildcn, and that Tildca will issue
a proclamation to TIE army and navy, to
the executive departments, and t. the peo-
pie, demanding recognition and command
ing obedience. Beyond this the most lad
ical democratic committee sca'c " ven.
lures to prelic. what will follow. Tue
present democratic policy appears - lc a
game Of bluff, to tax loudly, to cregte an
uneasy sentiment among the public, in or-
der to force compromise from the rapub-

believed to be a part of the plan to in.im.

The BROOKLYN TRAGEDY.

Horrible as was the Brooklyn tragedy,
it does no! seem to have 50 impressed tee
thieves a1d Williams who infcst that city az
New York, for they have been busiy en-
ployei in their nefsrious operations at the
spot and among TIE chaucd rcmaini + the
dead. They are worse than the ghouls who
follow au army and prowl over the battle
fields rihing the persons OF he slain. 1t is
hard to conceive of such obduracy and
callouSness of heart as have been exhibited
in Brooklyn by creatures in human shape
who forced themselves between the dead
and their weeping, agoniz i relatives, and
claimed the bodies of their own friends,
Stimulating the most poignant grief at the
same time. Pluuder was their object, and
it required the ttrictest watch to prevent
thes hyenas from carrying # the bodies
for the purpose of securing what valuables
might be found upon them. Such wicked
libels upon our race would Lave been sum-
marlly deal! with in other parts Of the
country where hempen cords or iron bars
would have efectually put an end to their
villianies.

The origin of the fire is supposed to have

Our attention has been called TO the nu-
merous gross errors a9d blun6ers in the
third biennial report of the boord of agri-
culture, manufactures and mining, with
tho request that we stall call attention
thereto, and correct the same, for the rea-
son that "our farmers children are very
- apt to go TO this kind of book for their
authority in spelling, punctuation, divis-
" ion of worde, etc." We have noticed
many of these errors and blunders, but
must respectfully decline to convert our
paper into an errdta for several reasons.
Among these are, that correction of these
errors would more than occupy our entire
space; that we have come to look for these
errors and blunders from that source that
it is rather late in the day to comment
thereon, the printers and proof readers hav-
ing, presumably, obtained their pay; and
that, IN our opinion, "our farmers chill
" dren" are too intelligent to accept a
book so printed as authority for either
spelling, punctuation, division of words, or
good taste.

War on Rum
Dedicated 10 Gen. Neal Doc.

BY WARREN 5. BARLOW.
Let US strike where the serpent is coiled in his
den,
Where TOO long he hath bafiied his foes;
Where the gentle esresses of fashion and state
Hath lulled him 10 peaceful repose.
Let Us strike where the tippler was caught in
the snare,
Where midnight mar anders frequent,
Where the husband and father OF pitiless want,
browns his sorrow With seeming content.
Let u strike where the shsckles of bondage
are forged,
While anguish is wruug from the soul.
Whose riyets are fragments OF broken resolves,
Which, alas, were too weak TO control.
Let US strike where the price Of their poison Is
death.
Where hearts are inhuman rs stones.
Where the demon of appetite barriers the soul
For a pitiless bundle of bones.
oh who in their sorrow can fsthom the tide
OF rum in its merciless flow,
Whose waves of perdition are drifting tue soui
On the dark frozen ocean OF woe!
In1n STAY with YOUR ballots the surge. of sin
That threaten to deluge the land;
Thu, sweep from our borders the fountain OF
crime
And grind the offenders to sand.
Don't stop to be grateful Ter what hiss bee
done,
Nor hopeful for W hat We may do,
But hold and defend every fortress we take,
And every invader pursue.
To crown our endeayors in staying the tide
OF rum in its merciless flow.
Al Join in the rescue in building high
That no food can again overflow.

This Is one of the subjects concerning
which we have many questions. Somehow

Get the water out aud success is compars-
lively sure. But most people are impatient
OF results. and think that ought to end the
matter. They don't go far enough. re-
claimed swamp needs time to show the
best results, and some go TO work aad cart
on sand and gravel. We have seen many
efforts la this direction that have proved
anything but satisfactory or profitable in
results. Cultivation must follow and with
that liberal supply.of manure.
Large expenditures in carting mere sand
or gravel upon swamp land, for the pur-
pose of converting Il to English meadow.

TO render it solid when drained, any addi-
ton is unnecessary; If it does not, the
needed supply may be fourd in substance
