REMARKS {:

The times may be considered hard, and
money scarce, but a few dollars invested
for the 'Seyen Sprirgs' "Iron and Alum
Mass" are worth $40 to every one TINS
spent to any person who is not perfectly
well and hearty. There are persons that
would give $40 bottle rather than be
without it. A gentleman in Mississippi
says he would give-Sl0O for single bottle
if he could not obtain it for less. The re-
tail price is only 8l.00 per bottle-seut
post-poid to any post Office. This Mass is
for sale by BUNTING & PEPPER, and J. A.
DIcKEY Co., Bristol, Tenn, and by near
y all regular Druggist, but if the Druggist
nearest you does not keep it, send to Lam
drum & LitchGeld, Abingdon, Va, and yo,
will certainly get it for the price.

The Herald" VS.. Governor Fairbanks.

MrsSrS. Editors In n recent number of the
Rutland Herdid and Globe the writer's attention
was called to an editorial on the case of John p
Phair, in which it was not only broadly insinuated
that in granting the culprit respite the Cow
ernor was unduly influenced by sensational reports,
but that His ENcellency sold by one OF the Bos
ton papers, the h lston Globe Without expressing
our opinion as to the guilt or innocence OF the con
victwe feel that the charge against Vermonts ex-
ecutive and insult to the people OF the state should
not pass unnotced, especially when it is known
that Governor Fairbanks during the interim of
the first respite, sent commission to investigate
the claimed developments in Boston and Proy-
dence upon whose report, by advice of a mem
Der of the Supreme Court and other eminent legal
talent OF the state, His EXcelency granted an
tension, that the case might be finally disposed Of
by the General Assembly Again, we cannot see
why at this date, the Herald should 50 inconsist-
entity show Its venom, and dsapprove the Gov
errors action, when its managing editor with
many OF Vermonts best citizens personally (by
letter. urged Governor Fairbanks to again reprieve
the convict (Phair), and gave his opinion that by
granting such reprieye he would meet the APP
proval of the best citizens of Rutland. As We
have stated, we express no opinion ms 10 Phair's
innocence guilt,-th legislature will doubtless
determine that,-yet we do feel that such SANDER
GUS publications as that emanating from the
Rutland Herald should be condemned by all good
citizens as unjustly malicious, and gross insult
10 the honor and purity of the state. Fiat
iuStitid, riidt cociunL
Z. S.-Since writing the above we are credibly
informed that petition To the Legislature pray
ing for some legislation In Phairs behalf Is exten-
sivey signed by the most prominent citizens of
Rutland aud vicinity. This being the case II
plainly shows that the Heralds attack ON the
Governor has anything but the approval Of those
most eonyersant with the facts of this notably in
| teresting case. JusrIcR.

LamOille Valley Fair.

The sixth annual fair of the Lamoille Valley
Fair Ground Company was held their new
grounds, in Morrisyille September oath and 9th.
THE FIRST DAY
opened with the promise Of better fair than the
company had seen for several years. Their
grounds are situated on the railroad between Nor
risve and Hydepark, and about Que mile from
the former place. The ground is well adapted for
fair ground, for nature has supplied " reserved
seats for the poor" The floral buildings stand on
large level plain. The ground then gradually
descends until another plain is reached, ON which
the track is made The track deserves special
mention, for it is pronounced by those that know
to be the best half-mile track in the state.
great deal of pains was taken with it when it was
constructed to make it level and smooth. The
track is plainly seen at all points Of the side HILL
which furnishes grand lookout for those who
cannot procure seats by the stand But one thing
would seem to prevent the holding Of the state
fair on these grounds-that of hotel accommo-
dations.
By nine o'clock the first day, teams began to
roll up the dust in the street and the grounds
wore busy aspect. Both old and young came
to see the fair and their country cousins There
were signs OF rain, and about ten o'clock 1t
began to iall IN gentle showers, laying the dust
and making the air more wholesome Without
doubt the rain kept many at home, so that the
attendance was not quite up to what has been
usual ON the first day of the fair
The entries In all the departments were I'M
usually good. The show OF stock was the best
the county has ever had, New sheds have been
built, and ample provision made, SO that the stock
was kent ON the grounds through the fair con-

Vermont School Report.

The twenty fifth Vermont School Report
just issued by Hon. Edward Conant, State
Superintendent of Education, reports the
number of children between five and twenty
years of age as 92,S3l attending common
schools, 7l,3GG other schools, 4,796 attend
the schools is S504, 692.l2. Average wages
of teachers-males, S7,6l; females, $500
per week. The report makes the following
recommendations concerning notifications
of the school law That the superintendent
be allowed, in his Judgment to substitute
educational meetings for teachers insti-
tutes that teachers in attendance on insti-
tutes in their county be allowed pay for
the time spent therein; that the district
be allowed to draw public money only upon
certificate Of the town superintendent that
they have complied with the law; that the
power of superintendent to revoke certif-
Gates be extended that town committees
for the selection of text books be provided
for; that town superintendent be required
TO procure the introduction of books recon.
mended that towns voting so to do be
authorized to purchase and hold text books
for use in the schools that state tax foI
schools be levied that portion of such tax
be used for the support of high schools that
the time of continuance of normal schools
be extended not less than twenty years, and
further appropriations be made for them
We have more to say of some of the recon
mendations in this report than our space al
lows in this issue.

Coon REAsoNs.-Ex-Governor Boutwell,,
of Massachusetts,, gives reasons for refusing
a reelection TO Congress which are credita-
BILE TO him in every sense of the word. In
letter to the Lowell Courier he says his
reason for declining is that he cannot afford
to neglect opportunities to make further
provision for his family which he could not
do in public life Thanking the people Of
the district for the constant and long con
tinued support he has received from them
he says with creditable frankness al have
no disrelish for the public service. Indeed
If | were at liberty to consult my own feel
ings without regard to the claims of others

nifty, and with alacrity. A part, even at
unimportant part, in the government of |
great country is the highest secular pursui
and the worthiest object of worldly ambition
For the moment, however, must submit
myself TO circumstances.

THE MASSACHUSETTS DEMoCRAoY.-The
regular" democrats had larger conven.
ton in Faneuil Hall last week than Butler
had at Worcester, but whether they had as
many delegates who were elected before the
Worcester convention, is another question
They hired their hall, however, and did not
steal it, as the Butler crowd did. The con-
vention was peaceable, but had plenty of en-.
thusiasm, and the addresses were specially
vigorous. General Whitney's vehement
wrath against Butler, which found ample
expression in his speech, did not in the
least moderate his animosty toward the Re.
publcans, who were berated with as much
heartiness as if they enjoyed the honor of
his exclusive political enmity. The conven-
ton in its platform, which is of piece with
ether democratic platforms this year, strong
on " fraud " and little shaky on the finan-
cial question, abates nothing of the usual
denunciation of everything having the Re
publican name. The pleasant fancy that
the regular democrats might be willing to
vote for Talbot this year to beat Butler u
is not encouraged by anything said Or done
in Faneuil Hall. The Republicans must
elect Governor Talbot without help, if they
do ii at all.

VALIDITY OF BoNDs.-The suits of bond
holders against repudiating counties at the
West in the United States courts are having
some success. Judge Dillon has issued a
peremptory order requiring Franklin county,
Mo-, to pay an instalment of debt contracted
ten years ago and repudiated seven years
ago. 1t is held at Boston and st. Louis
Judgment has been entered in the United
States court against Clark county in the
same state. Marion county has been denied
every motion to stave off judgment and has
been ordered to show cause why the debt
should not be paid. Judge Dillon has de-
cided against Lincoln county in case of
peculiar hardship. 1t seems that this county
in 1865 authorized a subscription to GER
tain railroad of 100000, and year after
rescinded the authority, on the ground that
it was a fraudulent enterprise and myth.
The county records were subsequently mu
tilated so as to falsify this act and make it
appear that the bonds were authorized, and
they were issued and sold without the county
ever receiving consideration. They are now
in the hands of innocent holders and Judge
Dillon decides that the county was respon-
sible for the collision and fraud of its
officials. The case will go up to the Su.
preme Court of the United States.

WEATHER PRoPHEcIEs.-The fools are
never all dead, it is said, but they seem to
be more numerous at this season of the year
than at others. II will be a cold winter,
says one, because the wild geese fly high.
1t will be a cold winter, says another, be-
cause the summer was hot. If one finds
the muskrat houses ususually thick and
strong, the fish collecting in the deepest
water, the squirrels thick in his sugar bush,
and covered with an especially heavy coat
ing of fur, he shrugs his shoulders and takes
look at the family woodpile. The season
is sure to be cold one. All these signs are
reported to be strongly marked this year.
Residents on the edge of the great Adiron-
dack wilderness note an additional one, that
bears and all kinds of small game are com
ing to the edge of the woods. In very Sc
we're winters they subsist with difficulty
and invariably seek the clearings in advance
of the cold. So say the weather-mongers.

MISSING THE MARK.-The adherents of
the greenback movement evince good deal
of spite towards the national banks. Now,
soberly, does anyone suppose that the ma
tional bankers care particularly for this
warfare upon them II so, it is one of the
most singular mistakes of the whole move
ment. The truth is, the only advantage in
being IA national bank is derived from the
fact that those institutions are compelled to
be on sounder basis than the private
banks. For this standing in the CONNER
cial world the national banks pay three or
four times the taxes that private bank is
compelled TO- There are many--very many
national bankers who would be glad II the
whole system of national banks were abol-
shed. They would each save handsome
Income annually by the charge. 1t would
place them all on level again, and in place
of having TO show up for federal taxation
every dollar of their capital, as they now do,
they would simply report quarter or
third of their funds to the township asses.

DIDS'T WoRK.-When the Murphy men
captured Canton, N Y, last spring, and drove
every liquor dealer out of business, one hun
bred and seventy-fve men formed stock
company, called the Canton social club.
They rented a room for meetings, laid in a
choice stock of liquors, aud hired a jantor.
They had no bar. Every member, however,
paid dollar into the treasury, and received
in return ticket with twenty figure fves
printed on it. TWAS among the janitor's duties
10 wait upon the members, give them what
tipple they called for, and punch it one five,
ii the call was for beer, aud two ii it was
for wine or liquor. The club men fanoied
that they were each one drinking his own
liquor. The temperance men thought diff
ferently. They had the janitor arrested for
violation Of the excise law, he was indie ed
and has at last been convicted in the county
court.

opened nice and bright with promise Of grand
day and large attendance, which was really YER
rifed. Every train that arrived brought crowds of
people. The several hacks from IIydepark and
Morrisyille were hard at work, and before noon
there was n large crowd on the ground.
At nine O'Clock began the trial of draft horses
and oxen. o. and A, H. Buck of johnson proved
to have the best draft horses j. NJ. Campbell the
second; L. Manchester of Worthwhile, the best
draft oxen, and S Stone of Morristown, second
Then came the exhibition of different classes of
horses on the track, showing some very fine three
year-old colts, among which was noticeable fine
stallion three-y ear-old, owned by W. e. McClen-
took, Morrisville, remarkable for beauty and ac-
tion. For four-y ear-olds J. Utton showed "Drover
Boy" and Hiram Dodge black gelding which is
promising to be good roader. Morrsville showed
three pair of matched horses, owned by c Joslyn,
W. S Gilbert and j. NJ. Green. Joslyn's was
coal-back, and was considered the best. Hon.
G. W. Iendee carried off the palm for having the
best single driver. T. NJ. Edwards, J. NJ Joslyn,
d. Matthews, J. Ferguson and Others showed
single drivers.
First in the races came the four-year-old race
for $50 which was postponed from the first day
Si5 to first SO to second and 80 to third. The

The next and last race was the open-to-all
Purse, S4OO-S20O to first 500 to second, $50 to
third and $40 to fourth. 1t was at first expected
that " Maid and Kitte' were be here in this
race, but for some reason or other they were not
here but the purse filled and ms the horses
were pretty well matched it made very level race
Following is summary:
