Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1877-09-26

| S, w. Benjamin shows his milk bu-
reau," in which the pans are drawn out
from refrigerator like drawers from a
bureau except these pans have rollers on
| them.
d. B. Wooster had his perfection milk
can on show. This can is nine by twenty
inches. and around it, about three inches
from the top, is arim four inches deep into
which cold water is run. Mr.. w. claims
this cools the top of the milk about the
top, which as it condenses by cold, falls to
the bottom, us the warmer milk is thus
forced to the top, carrying the cream with
it, which keeps up the constant circulation
till the cream is all raised.
Mr.. Aaron Bancroft, Montpelier, exhib-
tied collection of bis cast zinc monumen-
tai work. The designs are handsome and
artistic, and he claims the material TO be
practically indestruclible by the weather.
Mr.. BIS advertisement appears in another
column.
The FREEMAN Bindery had good col
lection of work on exhibition, embracing
in different styles of binding some of their
work in sheep, calf and Turkey morocco
This show was made up of finished Gus
tom work retained for this display.
L. A. Persons, East Montpelier, had a
show of excellent maple sugar and syrup,
as did also NJ. and c. NJ. Fisher of Cabot.
Master Fred f. Butterfly, Montpelier,
showed II wooden model of u locomotive
engine; also sail boat which showed
more talent for carving than knowledge of
nautical affairs.
A. j. HOLSTER shows five very large
pumpkins, which may Or may not be the
most profitable kind to raise.
There was good exhibition of butter,
and,two samples of cheese, but as these
were ticketed by numbers only, we cannot
give the exhibitors names.
Col. Joyce's address was listened to
with marked attention by u fair audience
from among the crowd on the grounds.
lie favored an immediate return TO specie
payments according to the resumption act,
to leave off extravaganza, pay for what
we get. He took hopeful views of the flu
ture of the country, believed in civil serv-
ice reform, and that we had a mau at the
head of the government who had neither
love nor fear for rings, and an earnest and
honest desire to correct the abuses, and
back bone to carry it through.
We are inclined to the belief that the
usual address is q humbug; practice
more honored in the breach than in the
observance. Not but the address is all
right, II sound and timely production,
probably; but few Of those present care to
hear it, or could if they did; and it must
be very embarrassing TO a speaker to be
set up in the midst OF q crowd, where he
must spin around first to one part and then
another of his audience, so all may hear
Il part, and none can hear the whole; and
then he should have lungs of Inda-rubber
and throat of brass, to make those on the
outskirts of the crowd hear anything, and
speak with any case to himself. AT the
State Fair the usual address was omitted,
and we heard no one lament the omission
But if an address is advertised it is best
to have it-and the same may be said of a
balloon ascension; indeed, we are inclined
TO think there was more growing at the
failure of the balloon to soar than there
would have been had the address been
postponed till the next day; and because
there is always u lurking suspicion-prob-
ably generally unjust-that such failures
are not from causes beyond the control of
determined effort to ecure success. We
heard one old lady feelngly remark that
she {" had come twenty miles to see that
balloon 90 up, and they have fooled me
and put it off till to morrow to have folks
come again, and I'll never come to Mont
pelicr again long as live, which resolu-
ton we hope she will reconsider in her
cooler moments.
