The five and ten cent counter trade is al
most Il phenomenon, 50 10 speak, in trade.
\ year ago there was nothing Of the kind,
and ii is only, in fact, few months ago that
the thing began in this part of the country,
in very small way. But the trade has spread
like wildtire. Any quantity of stores in the
city and certainly all in the country general
stores have now a counter of goods retailing
at these low prices The articles most in de
mand are tin ware, iron, wood, glass and
crockery ware, house furnishing goods gen
orally, and such notions as brushes, soaps,
handkerchiefs, towels, napkins. In tin ware
there are many goods which were never before
offered at these low prices. The question
will he at once asked how is done: Well.
formerly these little notions, house goods
and the like, We're sold only at very large
profit, but by buying for cash and giving
large orders to manufacturers the goods are
sold TO the retailer so that he can make fair
profit. An examination of any of these ; TO
10 cent counters will fairly astonish the WISH
tor, for to see such articles at such prices
was never before possible.

Here Col Merrill, superintendent of the
works. and Mr. Rowell, of the trustees, re-
ceived their guests and cautiously showed
them through the immense establishment.
Work was plenty and hands busy in all parts
OF the works, and there WAS no visible indl-
cation of the financial emharrassments which
have threatened the concern. Their emhar-
easements, all must hope, will be but tempo
rary. The company passed through the i'm
mense shops and saw the process of making
the scales. in all its branches. Some
two hundred hands are employed.
The concern is working on full orders

TIE FARMERS ENEMIES There is great
complaint over in Washington county of the
depredations of grasshoppers. The town OF
Brookfield is overrun with them, and the
eastern part of Roybury is but little letter
off. In some places where they have been
at work the fields look MS il they had been
burned over The white daisy, which has
been on the increase for several years has al
most complete possession OF Orleans county.
There are very few farms that arenot injured
by it. There is tradition that it was brought
into the country many years ago by al old
lady from Connecticut, IA flower. That
old woman has left record and Il reputation
that is not likely TO be forgotten very soon in
Northern Vermont.

AccIDESr.-An eight years-old boy named
Ryan, living at Milton, had been on II visit
to relatives in this city and on Friday alter
noon started on his return, his uncle putting
him on board the train and cautioning him
not 10 move until he reached Milton. Just
before reaching the tunnel his hat blew oil,
as he was looking out of the window, and
the poor little fellow, ignorant OF the danger
of such an undertaking rushed TO the plat
form and jumped off, the train running at
full speed at the time; and the result WAS
that his leg was broken. He was taken back
to this city and properly cared for.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT. - Tuesday evening
about three hours after Mr. H. A. Mooney
had gone to bed, at his residence ON Lowell
Pine street, he was suddenly aroused by
noises about the house which he supposed
were caused 10y burglars, who were cndeav-
oring to enter by the cellar door In tho
haste and Excitement Of the moment, he
jumped from his chamber window on Ia the
bay window directly under, and supposed
that the distance from there to the ground
was not sufficient 10 cause any trouble But
miscalcula,ing his distance, he jumped too
close and became iihpaled on u picket fence,
Il picket entering his right thigh and causing
an ugly wound; and he also received serious
internal injuries. Mr.. Mooney was attended
by DR. Bingham and til. wound properly
dressed. The old Nye rookery, directly OPP
positc, which has stood unoccupied for the
past half century, and has become an eye
sore 90 the residents of that part Of the city,
has of late become headquarters for tramps,
and Mr.. Moneys knowledge OF this fact led
him to believe that his house was being en-
tered by some of the party. He will be laid
up for some time by his injuries

IMPORTANT CASE. An interesting hd5eas
corpus case from Rutland county was heard
before Judge Redtield AT Montpelier Tues
day. One John Leach the executor of the
will of his father, Eben Leach, neglected and
refused to pay, according to the orders ofthe
probate court Of Fairhaven (having charge of
the settlement of the estate of Ehen Leach,
for the support of his widow and minor chill
dren, pending the settlement of the estate.
The order was 10 pay thirty dollars per
month and the expense OF the widow of get
ting the order The probate court upon petit
ton and hearing thereon committed the exc
cutor TO Jail for such refusal and neglect rs
being in contempt Of the court, and he was
thereupon brought before Judge Redield on
hdJeds corpus. The case was argued on be-
half of the executor by F. Potter of Pawlet
and J. G.. Baker of Rutland. and in behalf
of the other parties interested by Colonel W.
G. Neazey of Rutland Judge Reficld re-
served his decision. which will be- of great
interest us the case involves the power Of
probate courts 10 enforce such orders in this
way, there being no other manner in which
they can enforce them.

RAILROAD TAXATION. +. J. Orms-
bee, Hon. Charles Rogers, Jr., and Charles
7. Sahin, Esq, the commissioners appointed
to examine into the claims of different towns
for rebate of State taxes assessed against
railroad corporations, alleged 10 have been
illegally laid, held their final meeting at
Montpelier Tuesday The claims of those
towns along the line of the Central road
were allowed, as the charter of the road eX-
empts them from taxation. Those on the
line of the Passumpsic road were allowed.
as the road had not been completed its entire
length under the charter in season to render
it taxable. The claims OF towns upon the
Vermont and Canada, Missisquoi, Rutland
and Burlington Portland and Ogdensburg
and Harlem Extension, were disallowcd, as
the taxes were held to have been legally as
sessed and collectable Ii is said that an ex-
animation of the grand list books of several
of the towns claiming rebate revealed diff
ference between the amount of grand list
upon which State and local taxes are paid.
