As NoLSEY j. WoOD was at work few
rods from his house, near SimOnsyille, Vt.
Saturday, he heard the report of a gun, and
on looking in the direction OF his house he
saw his little boy. s years old, reel and fall
to the ground. On reaching the bow he
found bullet had passed through the little
fellows SIDE. All the explanation the boy
could give was THE man shot him. y
Some neighbors set out in search Of the
supposed tramp. They soon overlook the
man and found him to be one David How
ard. disreputable character living in that
vicinity. A pocket rifle was found in his
POSSESSION. Howard at first denied firing
the gun, but afterwards admitted that he
fired at squirrel on the bridge near the
house. Howard was taken to Chester, W.,
and lodged in the lookup for safe keeping.
1t is probable the examination will prove
the shooting to have been accidental. The
child at last accounts was quite comfortable
and with the chances in favor of recovery.

THE b u r L L N q TOT N.

The TEMPERANCE MEETINGS held in this
| city every evening last week. were as a
whole successful. They attracted very
largo audiences, aroused a good deal
of interest in the subject Of temperance, and
several hundred signatures, including those
of a number of persons heretofore addicted
to drink. were obtained to the pledge.
We trust their good influence will not
speedily die away. Mrs. MOlloy, of Indiana.
who was the principal speaker, is an earn
est woman, of unusual gifts as a speaker.
Doubtless she is doing good work. We
may be permitted to add. with only good
wishes for her success, that perhaps she
would have been more successful here if she
had spent less time and breath in scolding
the people, churches, press and community
of Burlington, for insufficient appreciation
ofher services. In great work, the cause
Is everything and individuals are nothing
and the reformer who is easily diverted by
criticism, from attack upon gigantic evil.
who Is easily put upon his personal defence,
or who betrays individual pique by sharp
determinations, will seldom achieve the
highest snccess.

An appeal comes to the North from
the fever-stricken city of Fernandina,
Florida, asking for money and provisions
TO help the suffering people of that city.
The appeal is pathetic one, and will
be needed, as the North is always prod
igal in its benefactions. The appeal is
also significant. Stretching out its hands
over the cities of the South, once wealthy,
but impoverished because of their wick
edness in taking up arms against their
country, this stricken city passes them
all by in Its hour of sore need, and,
In the name Of God, cries out for help
from the people of the loyal North. The
response will be prompt and the gift:
bountiful mot to be followed, we trust
by repetition of the taunts and sheer:
which the South has heretofore so lib
orally bestowed upon New England ant
her Institutions.

Strikes and Arbitration.

About fortnight since there ended a
strike of the shipbulding trades upon the
CLYDE after a duration of six months. Ten
thousand workmen during the greater part
OF that time remained unemployed, losing,
on the lowest estimate, in wages alone,
from S350,000 to 800, 000 What the
master shipbuildcrs lost we are not in
formed, but, apart from the loss of in
terest on their sunken capital, there is IA
story. welcome enough to us that they
have been losing trade which has come
to America. Here, then, is a case for
capital and labor in this country to study
with advantage. The struggle in the
shipyards along the Clyde had been so
bitter and its tension SO severe that both
sides were glad in the end to approach
settlement of their differences in a
sobered frame of mind. The PROPOSE
ton for a settlement came from one of
the largest customers of the shipbuilders,
showing that while the labor and capt.
tai directly involved in the dispute might
continue to tritter away their forces in
losing battle for both there were other
interests which could not stand by with
out an effort to bring it to an end.
A marked increase in the shipbuilding
business in the beginning of the present
year was Sc lied by the men as good ground
for demanding increased wages. This was
refused The men asked for an arbitra-
ton but We're again refused, and early in
April two thousand shipwrights "sIruck."
The other trades continued at work, but
six weeks later the masters decided on re-
talia,ion by a general lockout" and ten
thousand men were discharged. For three
months the vast industry of the Clyde was
absolutely suspended; not sound of Ia
Dor was heard in the shipyards. The pro-
cess of exhaustion was in progress. At
length, toward the close of August, the
masters accepted the principle OF arbitra-
ton. and some OF the men went back to
work Professionally at the old rates, the
shipwrights and iron workers holding out
seven weeks longer, but at length yielding
to proposal, which seems so fair that it
is painful to think so much time and money
should have been wasted on both sides be-
fore arriving at it. Each side is to name
an arbitrator and the two arbitrator may
select an umpire. They play hear evil
dence where information is necessary.
Their decision is to be binding. and in
case an increase of wages is declared just
the award is to be retrospective, going
back to the time of the mems return to
work. The questions submitted to the ar
biters are Did the strike on the Clyde
at the time of the strike warrant the
Clyde shipwrights in seeking an advance
of wages ? If so, what advanced" After
our painful experience here during the
railway strikes we may well watch with
interest the progress of so important
step in the adjustment of the two great
industrial forces, and hail with pleasure
everything tending to a seasonable settle
ment by an intellectual process of troubles
which are at present left to crude and often
brutal remedies which labor and capital
