u Its determined attack upon the
ballot box, and its advocacy of free
fraud ut the polls, places the Demo-
cratic party in worse light before the
newspaper reading public than that in
which it stood during the cypher reveal
tions. That which is ouI glory may
become our shame, if the Judgment of
the people is to be reversed by fraudu-
lent means at the polls. But this action
of the party, and this clear declaration
of its future policy, aiming at the
destruction of what little purity still
exists in public affairs, Will ouly tend
to swell the Republican ranks with the
noble minded men of other parties and
ensure Il victory for righteousness.

A Proclamation.
STATE OF VERMONT,
Executive Department.

In accordance with time-hOnored Gus
tom, hereby appoint FRIDAY, THE
ELEVENTH DAY OF APRIL NEXT, to be
set apart as day of fasting, humilia-
ton and prayer.
On that day, let us-the people of
this state-pause in our various labors,
and in every fitting and customary
way, acknowledge our dependence upon
Almighty God.
Remembering that He is a God of
nations, let us humbly confess our mani
fold transgressions as a people, and the
individual sins which we all committed.
Let us earnestly seek His forgiveness
for the past and His blessing and guild
ance for the future.
Given under my hand in Executive
Chamber at Sutherland Falls, this
twenty sixth day of March, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy nine, and of the
independence of the United States,
the one hundred and third.
REDFIELD PROCTOR.
By the Governor,
HARRY p STIMsON,
Secretary of Civil and Military Affairs.

II All legislation at Washington,
seems to be influenced by the nearness
of the Presidential contest, which, iudg-
ing from the present attitude of the
great parties, is likely to equal in bitter
ness some of the political struggles of
the past, which have shaken the nation
and lowered her in the esteem of
Europe. We should welcome rivalry
which had for its object the lasting
prosperity of the people, but a rough
and-tumble scramble for place and
power, a rush for lOaves and fishes, with
dog-like battle for a bone, is alto
gether out of harmony with the high
moral and intellectual standing of the
nation.

w1 The late storm was very severe
on the New England coast and ship
ping suffered to considerable extent,
but no lives reported lost. The rail
roads in New England and Canada were
badly blockaded and trains delayed.
Several accidents happened on the
roads from this cause, but no injury to
passengers reported.

IL March may possess some lamb
like attributes, but during the last days
of his sOjOurn with us he showed I'M
mistakable symptoms of the lion dis
position by tearing things up generally,
and being dangerously busy in all the
sap-works. Among other things we
think he has materially lowered the
quality and raised the price of new
sugar. We hope for better things of
April.

Ey The nomination of President An
drew d. White, of Cornell University,
as Minister to Berlin, is warmly COM
mended by the press, and reflects credit
on the wisdom of the executive power.
The claims of the office seem to have
had more weight with President Hayes
than the claims of aspiring politicians.

Lively Stock Operations.

The current of recent events has given
great impetus to business in Wall street.
and many successful turns are reported
where immense profits are made in short
periods. The most successful way that we
have heard OF yet for operating in stocks is
by the Combination Method of Messrs.
Lawrence & Co., Bankers, New York. By
this system thousands of orders in various
sums are pooled into one vast capital and
opera ed under the most experienced and
skllful management, thus securing to each
shareholder superior advantages and prof
its, not possible in any other way. Profits
are paid at end of thirty days. A gentle
man in Boston made $747 30 on an invest
ment Of 800. Many others are doing MS
well or better. Capital in any amount from
$40 to 800, 900 can be used with equal pro-
portionate success by the Combination or
Cooperate Method. SIS would make $75,
or per cent. on the stock; 800 would re-
turn $500, or per cent during the month,
and so on according to the market, The
new circular contains "two unerring rules
for success" and full information, so that
any one can operate with profit. Stocks
and bonds wanted. Deposits received
Government bonds supplied Apply 10

On Saturday evening last there
came near being big fire in this city.
The roof around the stove pipe or flue
in the shop Of Johnny Smith caught
fire. Being early in the evening the
fire was at once discovered and extin-
guished with but little trouble or
damage. Had it broken out late at
night the north side of Main street
would in all probability now be in
ashes. This should be taken as a sig
nificant warning to every one to be as
certain, as it is possible 10 be, that
their fues and fire ducts are safe.
Hope has been expressed to Us, and
We join in il, that our city council
Will, if they have not done so, en-
pioy person competent TO judge of
fire arrangements, 10 examine in de-
tail every fire fiue in the business
portions of the city, and instruct the
marshal to enforce rigidly orders re-
garding protection from confiagra-
tions. Timely iudieious measures en-
forced to prevent fires is better protec-
ton than all the fire companies and
fire machinery. "A stitch in time
saves nine"
