A COOP FIGHT.-We are informed
that new potatoes, of excellent quality,
were retailed about our streets a week
ago last Saturday. at thirty cents per
bushel. This reminds US that early in
the season fears were widely entertained
of failure of the potato crop. Reports
were prevalent that a multitude of far
mers we're discouraged by the prospect
Of an invasion Of armies of the Colorado
beetle, and were abandoning the idea Of
planting potatoes. 1t was currently re-
ported, indeed, that some husbandmen
who had planted early ones, had plowed
up their fields, and we're sowing them to
something else. 1t turns out, however,
that our farmers, as body, were toe
resolute to surrender to the vanguard Of
their foes. On the contrary, they braced
themselves to meet them with such
means of resistance as were at command
Paris green was in great requisition
They also seized the young, and by Wig
OrOus manipulating in many quarters
routed the invaders. The result is nov
visible. Heaven has seconded mans ex
ertions by ample showers and genia
warmth and now a bountiful and heal
thy crop seems assured. Not for year.
have we seen such large and tempting
potatoes as are now in the market. Thu
it often happens in life's experiences
Even formidable dangers yield befor,

THE BENNINGTON CELEBRATION.

Whether the attendance at the Gen.
tennial celebration at Bennington. next
week, will equal the expectations of the
Bennington people, who are talking
about crowd of a hundred thousand
strangers on the 18th and 10th, may
be a question; but there is no doubt at
all that it will be one of the most nota-
BILE of the Centennial gatherings, and in
numbers and interest it will doubtless
rival the Massachusetts, Centennial, of
last year, at Lexington and Concord.
The time of the year, when the severe
heats of the summer are commonly
past, while the weather is still warm
and fine, Is propitious. The interest of
the occasion extends over and will draw
visitors from a wide region of New
England and New York. The President
of the United States, with more of his
Cabinet than have accompanied him on
any occasion outside of Washington will
be there. More Governors of States
will be together than ever assembled.
The military display win be very i'm
posing. The oratiOns by Pres. Bartlett
and Hon. Daniel Roberts will doubles:
be full of patriotic and centennial fire
The gathering of VermOnt's veterans o
the war for the Union will be large
than has yet taken place, or will b
likely to again. And all in all the Oc
casion will be a most notable one, ii
the history of onr State; and all patri
otto Vermonters will want to be there

Some idea Of the enormous destruction

Some idea of the enormous destruction
of railroad property in Pittsburg during
the recent riots may be gathered from
the fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad
corporation have advertised for sealed
proposals for the purchase of 5000 tons Of
scrap iron left from the ruins of the
cars destroyed by the mob.

The FIJI Times of June 10, confirms
the report that on the 23d of May the
American flag was hOisted over the

it appears that new territory is forced
upon us whether we want or not.

Our special cable dispatches reflect
more accurately than has yet been done
the impression made on the leading Eu-
ropean Governments by the recent Rus
sian reverses. They also show that the
very competent correspondent of the
Times, who early in the struggle point
ed out that if 100000 Russians attempt
ed to force the second line of Turkish
defence and to reach Adrianople, very
few of them would be able to return, is
now of opinion that the series of battles
around Plevna, week before last, are de-
cisive of the prospects of the campaign.
This trained observer gives poor esti-
mate of the quality of the Russian SOL
diers, and still poorer one of the men
by whom they are led. His criticism on
the laundering strategy of the Russian
Generals has been amply verified by re-
cent events, and the announcement which
comes from another correspondent that
Gen. Gourkho has been driven to the
northern side of the Balkans, instead Of
simply retiring little from the advanc.
ed position held by him, affords confr.
nation to our correspondents theory
that another campaign will be needed to
reach AdrianOple. That Russia must
fight it out on this line if it takes two
years, is tolerably obvious. Her military
prestige has suffered shock which it il
almost a question of national existence
for her to retrieve, and the very last re-
sources of the Empire will undoubtedly
be exhausted before she can submit t.
the humiliating necessity of owning her
self overmatched by Turkey.-N. 7

BUSINESS REPORTS.

The interruption by the business
strikes has been followed by state of
feeling in all parts of the country, and
particularly in the West. which is very
promising for the fall trade. Reports
from all parts of the West are to the eff
feet that the crops are the most bounti-
full for years and that there is general
hopefulness among all classes, which is
beginning to be felt by the industries.
The market reports of this city and the
expression of merchants afford ground
for encouragement. A better feeling
among dry goods merchants is reported
than for some time, because there is
more doing. Orders from the West are
coming In freely and for larger quaint
ties, showing that the farmers are real
izing the money on their harvests.
The Chicago Tribune reports an &C
tive business at the banks by parties
who are receiving and turning provisions
and grain on contracts. The Kansas
City Times says the resumption of bust
ness in that section was more sudden
than its stOppage by the railroad strikes
and is more active than for many day.
The st. Louis Times reports an abun-
dant demand for money and the banks
are getting their real estate loans made
when money Wac dull. Grain is coming
in and moving forward rapidly. The
St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press says tn,
business of last week was satisfactory
and that the jobbing trade was active
and what is better, that there is an un
usual feeling of confidence. Letters re
ceived by commercial houses from al
parts of the country give equally Aattcr
ing reports.-N. Y. Times.
