President Merrill stated the object of the
meeting to be to consider the proposal for
the purchase of land near the city of Bur-
lingtOp, for the use Of the Society, and the
erection of buildings thereon. for the pur
pose Of an exhibition ground. The propo-
sition was fully discussed, but at the
late date at which it had been brought to
the attention of the Society, it was not
deemed feasible to attempt to fit up fair
ground for this years exhibition, and a
committee was appointed. consisting Of
Geo. A. Merrill, Rutland, Henry G. Root,
Bennington John W. Cramton, Rutland,
and Henry Chase, Lyndon, to consider the
feasibility of securing by purchase or other
wise lands for the use of the Society.

ed to consider the proposal from Montpelier
for the location of the next fair.
SUNDAY MORNINGS FIRE.-A FARMHOUSE
BEaNED.-About 10 o'clock, Sunday morn
ing the farm house of Mr. Eugene Goodrich,
situated on the branch road leading from
North avenue, and about three miles from
the central part of the city, took fire and
was burned to the ground. The alarm was
given and the Barnes and Ethsns promptly
responded, the latter taking their long
unused engine, and in little more than hall
an hour the boys had a stream on the
buildings. The Barnes were the first on the
scene of action and laid their hose to the
overfjwed meadow. By the efforts Of the
fremeu the barns and outbuildings were
saved, thus greatly lessening the loss; and
by their activity and promptness. the boys,
as on so many former occasions, reflected
credit on themselves and the city. To drag
heavy engine three miles over road by
no means one of the best to throw a stream
of water from a considerable distance, and
to stay On hand the greater part of the day
(tLe engine was not brought back until
after clock for all this the Ethans and
the other companies represented are surely
entitled to high credit. The fire was first
discovered By Mrs. Goodrich in the attic,
around the chimney, but its exact origin is
unknown, Much of the furniture was
saved, though in a somewhat damaged con-
dition, but the house, as before stated, was
a total loss. The house was insured ior
81, 500 (Which is several hundred less than
its value) and the furniture for $500 both
in the German American. of New York,
through the agency of Col. 7. s. Peck. Mr..
Goodrich is peculiarly unfortunate, he hay
ing been burned out only two years ago.

Greeley's Rough Criticism.
buffalo Commercially

Horace Greeley vas not gentle critic
The language in which he EXPRESS u nim-
self wa. apt to be more forcible than ee-
giant, but the criticism was Judicious. He
was discriminating friend to the late
Bayard Taylor, who used to say that,
rough as was the journalists criticism,
it did him good.
He once laid gushing rhetorical poem,
which had lately appeared in millinery
magazine, on Mr. Greeley's table,, and
waited to hear his opinion Of it. The ef-
fort was signed with his initials only.
Presently Greeley called to him. He was
holding the magazine in his hand. Point
ing to the poem with his index finger, he
asked:
"Did you write that"
"l did, sir" was Taylor's modest re
ply. :,
Then Mr.. Greeley simply inquired,
"What makes you print such hog wash
as thatW
The young poet started on his vacation,
not quite certain whether he had been
kicked or blessed by one Of the best-heart-
ed men that ever lived.

Children's Laughter.

How it ripples across the fields and
echoes along the hill l-side, as musical as
the distant church bell pealing over the
grassy meadows, where the brown vii
lage darlings are gathering butter-cups.
There are no sounds SO sweet to the
mothers ear, except perhaps, the first
lisping of an infants prayer Children S
laughter! how dull is the home wherein
its music once ioyously echoed, but now
is heard no more. How still is the house
when all the little ones are fast asleep, and
their pattering feet are silent. How easily
the fun of child bubbles forth. Take
even those poor prematurely aged little
ones bred in the gutter, cramped in i'm
earthly homes, and ill-used, it may be,
by drunken parents, and you will find
that the child nature is not entirely
crushed out of them. They are children
still, albeit they look SO haggard and wan.
Try to excite their mirthfulness, and ere
long laugh rings out as wild and free as
if there was no such thing as sorrow In
the world. Let the little ones laugh
then; too soon, alas! they will find cause
enough to weep. Do not try to silence
them, but let their gleefulness ring out in
gladsome peal, reminding us of the
days when we, too. could laugh without a
sigh. -.

(English Papel.)

The London Lancet is constantly find.
ing out something or other TO make peo.
pie nervous. Some time ago it showed
that the consequence of getting ones
head "shampooed' at barber's was an
attack of typhoid fever. So people gave
up being shampooed, especially the peo-
pie with bald heads. Then it discovered
that every house was filled with sewer
gas, and that they were all going to be
poisoned. Then there was death in the
milk, and that was banished from the ia.
BILE.
Next the Lancet discovered that COUP
lie of glasses of wine day were fatal to
the constitution, and it followed this up by
announcing that the water of London
was very dangerous, SO that at this mo-
ment it left nothing whatever to drink.
Then it clearly proved that Jam -tarts were
bad Tor the health, but most people who
had tried them in sufficient quantities had
found that out before. The reason as
signed by the Lancet was that the lam in
the tart was doctored.
Having thus deprived us of the two
Chief articles OF sustenance, Jam .tarts and
milk, the Lancet wishes us to leave of
wearing clean linen. 1t saws that tho
laundresses live in 'infected" places, and
that we run the risk of catching small.
pox and scarlet fever from the clothe,
they bring home. The same way with
tailors, SO that the only really safe course
now open to us is to go without food and
without clothes. In this condition wa
must not go indoors for shelter for fear Of
sewer gas. Never was Christian people
reduced to more miserable plight. Is Il
not Just possible that what we want in
the present day is little less science and
little more common sense?
