RECENT STATEMENT
OF
HON. HENRY BALLARD,
MEMBER OF THE
CHITTENDEN COUNTY BAR,

DIR. SMYTH,
Dear Sir:-It is about eight years since en-
ployed you to treat me for Chronic Catarrh,
which at that time had troubled me for about
four years. Your treatment removed the dis
ease so that for the past seven years have
had no return of it, and do not hesitate to say
that you have effected in my case, a complete
cure. l cannot too highly recommend your
careful and skillful treatment. 1t has the
double merit of being entirely satisfactory
while the treatment continues, and is perma-
nent and lasting in its results afterwards.
Very respectfully yours
HENRY BALLARD.
Burlington, VT, Oct. 25, 1878.

Meriden, and we are glad to record it
for the benefit of his many friends here.
The StGpstedd Journal remarks -
"Wool business is said to have received

health"
NOTICE w. II. Adams, has just re-
cived a fine new stock of groceries,
consisting of teas, coffee, spices,
tobacco, etc. Remember 81 divide my
profits with my customers and am
contented with quick sales and small
profits. Call and see for yourselves.
Mr.. Horace Morse, has our thanks for
a generous supply of the largest and
most luscious Strawberries we ever saw
or tasted. Mr.. Morse has quite straw
berry patch under cultivation, and the
other day gathered a strawberry that
measured 1-2 X inches. If any one
in Northern Vermont can beat this we
should like to hear from them.
We are in receipt of q circular re-
questing copy of the HERALD to be
forwarded weekly to the reading rooms
of '"The Native Sons of Vermont Asso-
ciation," at San Francisco, Cal. We
cheerfully acquiesce in the request and
trust that some of the members will re-
ciprocate and inform us what the
Native Sons of Vermont" are doing as
our people here have just pride in
their fellow townsmen out there.
Yellow fever is rapidly gaining
ground in Memphis, and thousands of
people are fleeing from the plague
stricken city. Efforts are being made
to secure transportation for the poor
people, so that they may be able to
escape the fate which threatens them.
The Secretary of War has ordered a
supply of tents to be sent to Memphis
for the accommodation of such of the
poor people who cannot leave the city.
Uncle John Cargill has been con-
fined to his house for the past four
years and during that time had often
heard remarks made as to how small
his farm was getting. The other day
he determined on seeing for himself
remarlling that if he staid in the house
two years longer there would be
nothing left of the farm. He got out,
and after carefully scrutinizing his
land, said "Well, | don't see but what
my farm is just about as big as it eyer
was"
We have received the catalogue of
Lyndon Academy and Graded School
for 1S7S-'79. The institution seems to
be in a very flourishing condition,
showing in its different departments, Il
total of 1877 scholars. From an eXami-
nation of the courses of study, as given
in the catalogue, we feel sure that the
Academy is ably managed and deserves
its present success. Without doubt,
good foundations can be here laid for
a thorough classical education, while
for those who desire a training more
Immediately practical, the studies EN-
braced under the English Course" and

and comprehensive. The Fall term

The Eeto Message EGsctuaIly An
SWered by EVartS and SchurZ.

BY Carl Schurz in 1874: Omitted
States soldiers, with fixed bayonets,
decided the case against them, and
took them out of the legislative hall
by force. 4 Il x Icannot, there
fore, escape from the deliberate con-
viction-a conviction Conscientious
ly formed-that the deed done on
the 4th of January, in the State
House of Louisiana, by the military
forces of the United States, consti-
tutes gross and manifest violation
of the Constitution and laws Of this
republic. + + II IF this can be
done in Louisiana, and if such things
be sustained by Congress, how long
will it be before it can be done in
Massachusetts and in Ohio2
He who in place like ours fails
to stop, or even justifies blow at
the fundamental laws of the land,
makes himself the accomplice of
those who strike at the life of the
republic and the liberties of the
people,"
By William NJ. Evarts, present
Prime Minister of the fraudulent
President, in his Cooper Institute
speech: "When men vote, and when
their chosen officers meet, and when
without violence and without de-
monstration of Instruction they un-
dertake to conduct the affairs of their
political government, no soldiers can
interfere.
There are two very distinct firm
lines of Limitation, which, observed,
will protect the machinery of the
Government for the people to-day
that is, that the sole Intervention of
the Federal power within the State
authority shall be to suppress vio-
lence, and that their office after that
shall not assume to go further unless
when invited by the supreme author
ity of the State.
What use is it to give the purse
and the sword to the House of Com
mons if the King or the President
By military power can determine
what shall be the constitution of the
House of Commons or the House of
Congress2 And that is what they
Ought for in England. + K And
or this reason the people of the
United States are justified in assum
ng that the supreme civil power
hall dominate over the military,
md that no merging of them or in
difference with them shall be per-
nitted." y st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

THE SUFFERING NEGRO EMIL
GRANTS,

The following extract from a let
ter just received from a lady now in
Kansas City, Mo-, who is well known
in Shreveport, and whose statement
can be relied on, shows the amount
of suffering to which the deluded
emigrants among the Southern ne
groes are subjected in the Vest
Il have not seen so many negroes
anywhere in years. The place Kan
sas City, is thronged with colored
emigrants from the South, and they
are huddIcd together in every cor
her, and many are so destitute that
it is really pitiable sight. There
are several families on the bank in
front Of the boat, with all of their
plumber piled up in the greatest con-
fusion and exposed TO the weather,
and several of them very sick, with
only few quilts hung up to shelter
them. l stopped and talked with
them yesterday; asked them. how
they liked this country. They said
they did not like it at all, and only
wished they were back home, and
seemed determined to camp there
till an opportunity offered them to
return. l have just been out look
ing at them, and one poor old gray
headed man is standing shaking
with an ague and try ing to warm by
q little chip fire, while some of the
others are .couched down with quilt
or blanket around them, trying to
keep warm. Last night cold north
er blew all might've could scarcely
keep warm in our good, comfortable
beds-and l pitied those poor crea.
lures from my very heart, and about
daylight it began to rain, and beg
ged Capt. - to get up and send a
tarpaulin out and cover them over.
We had application as soon as the
boat landed to take a whole boat
load Of them back to Vicksburg. ~
Those talked with seemed sorely
distressed. Many have died since
they arrived, and all along the river
] saw fresh graves where they died
on the way up and were buried on
the bank, and still they come by the
hundred. They come hunting glory,
and I guess they have enough of it.
l believe they will half of them die
soon."

How TO LABOR AND TO WATT
"All things come in time to him who
waits" says the proyerb, but how
few there are who know how to wait.
The feyerish, anxious, expeclant
waiting, how it wears upon the soul,
robbing the thing waited for of half
its pleasure, 1t is calm, confident,
patient waiting that bears the earli-
est and most certain fruit, the wait
ing that does not seem long because
the waiter has discounted disap-
pointment at the outset by expecting
it to be long. The man and woman
who have an object to accomplish
may set all possible machinery in
motion, may plan and scheme, but
in nine cases ont Of ten there will he
no success without waiting-patient,
steady, silent waiting. The wise
man watches the development of his
plans, notes every symptom and es-
Inmates its barring and Importance,
but he bends his energies to waiting,
and succeeds. : Boston Transcript.
