Editor Esser County HecdH:-Dear Sir
1t has been nearly a year since | have
written to your paper, and having a
few leisure moments will try and pen
you few lines in regard to the crops.
business, etc. The hurry and hustle of
the ranchers in haying is all over for
this year. Everything is very scarce
on account of the dry season. On
ranches where 200 tons of hay have
been cut in years past, only 40 have
been cut this season, and all ranchers
who are fortunate enough to have any
stock left are leaving and emigrating to
other States, that is, those who have
anything to leave with. Everybody is
predicting very severe winter, and
most people are at a loss as to what is
going to become of their stock, as it
would not pay to feed several thousand
head when hay will cost from $40 to
SIS per ton, and all that the best beef
will command is from to cents
per pound. 1t is hard on the stock and
| guess it makes them spiteful, Judging
from their actions, as three gentleman
COWS freed tramp the other day.
The coal burners are on the war
path now, and 1T seems as though they
mean business. Several coal contract
ers have had to call on the Governor
of the State for protection for them
selves and property. 1t is reported
that the furnaces will all have to- shut
down for want of coal. The coal burn
ers are mostly Italians, numbering
about 1000 men. They have been re-
ceiving 25 cents per bushel for coal, and
it is, in fact, all the companies can af-
ford to give, but the Italians organized
themselves into an association and de-
manded 30.cents per bushel, and have
succeeded in stopping all contractors
from shipping coal, and also the cause
of several furnaces shutting down, dis
charging several hundred men, thereby
making it very dull in Eureka. EureKa
has nearly all been built up again, in a
much grander style than before, MAX
ing it look quite citified. Tramps are
as numerous as ever, making them
selves useful in stealing everything
they can lay their hands to.

TIE GRAND TRUNK AND GREAT
WESTERN RAILWAYS.

We see blythe M,'ptneal gazette OF the
29d inst, that long discussion and
correspondents has been had relative
to the proposed amalgamation OF the
Great Western and Grand Trunk Rail
way Companies of Canada. From
which we are led TO the conclusion
that successful issue out of all these
complications, by the Grand Trunk is
extremely desirable in the interests of
that company, and its Interests are
identical with the interests of this To-
cality. As oursectieRal interests are
largely based upon the success of our
road, its prosperity is nothing less than
the prosperity of large proportion of
our interests. And it being one of our
public enterprises it is not for our in
terest even, that it should do business
under such circumstances as to involve
it in extravagant and unnecessary ex-
penditures, like duplicate services, the
establishment and maintenance of eX-
pensive agencies for the purpose of so
Letting patronage, besides inEumerable
other expenses incident to the present
condition of things. With a good
Western connection and an unpent
outlet, flow of traffic would fill this
important vein with a life current of
traffic that would thrill every artery of
our business having its junction with
it. And what business along its line is
not either directly or indirectly fed by
it, and dependent more or less upon its
own prosperity In reference to this,
one of our contemporaries remarks that ::
tThe Grand Trunk chairman and
directors have done everything in their
power to bring about ahappy arrange
ment; but the Great Western authori-
ties have done nothing except under a
moral compulsion, which they felt to
be irresistible; and it is absolutely ne
cessary that the force of that colnpul-
sion should not be relaxed in any de-
gree" tr
We hope that these efforts upon the
JtIG Vi TIC SItJllQ 1Iullh Will NC N1SOI-
ously continued, until a current of
business, uninterrupted by these en-
barrassments, will flow freely from all
parts of the Great West into our midst,
and that those vicious and unnecessary
conditions which have existed, will not
be long suffered to divert that traffic
(Which ought naturally to come in this
direction into unnatural and I'M
worthy channels where it does not be,
long; and which necessarily drain
either the pockets of the proprietors of
the roads involved, or their patrons,
and probably both. We would be
glad, if our space permitted us to pub
lish the whole of this correspondence,
especially the excellent letter of Sir II.
w. Tyler, but owing to our want of
space it is utterly impossible for us to

HISTORY OF ESSEX COUNTY, Vt.
BY DIR. HIRAM A. CUTTING, OF LUNENBURG, VT.
TOWN HISTORIES.
(Gmc1uded) r..as.
MAIDSTONE.
MAIDSTONE.

Maidstone was chartered under
George III by Gov. Wentworth Oct.
18th 1861. In December, 1774, the
proprietors allowed to Arthur and
Thomas Wooster each 100 acres Of land,
as a. reward for beginning settlement
in Maidstone in 1772, agreeable to the
aforementioned vote.
Micah Amy, John Sawyer, j. Saw
yet, Jr., Deliverance Sawyer, BENZ.
Sawyer, Mr. Merrill, Enoch Hall. BENZ.
Whitcomb, John French, and Jeremy
Merrill, who had settled in said town
ship and begun improvements, were
each allowed 100 acres, to be proper
toned in intervals and uplands togeth-
er; provided, they paid their proper
ton of taxes, and consented to hold
the same under the proprietors and
for them, and that they continue their
respective settlements and improve
ments from year to year at least wears.
As above, we have the names of twelve
settlers in town commencing in 1772,
and prior to 1774, besides the Col.
Bailey whom the said committee is
directed to take the advice of, is sup
posed to be Ward Bailey, who was one
of the first settlers. There were others,
of a still earlier date, of whose names
we have no record. One, Mr. Mar
deem, lived near the small brook still
bearing his name, which runs across
the highway between Mr.. Beatties
and DR.. Dewey's, probably as early as
ITO. He might have been the first
mechanic in town, as he was basket
MAKER. A son of his, born about ITO,
weighing two and a half pounds at
birth, attained at full maturity to the
very respectable weight Of two hum /
dred and some odd pounds perhaps
was the first child born in town.
As this town was situated in the
travelled routes Of the st. Francis
Indians they gave the early settlers
much trouble. -(See county chapter

AFTER many days the Nation has got
round to bis sisters, and his cousins and his
aunts". In connection with the quota
tion-a distant relationship like that OF
Mark Twain to Adam, the Nation
wisely remarks "That the right to control
the elections of Members of Congress was
bestowed on the Federal Government by the
Constitution, and the only objection worth
consideration made to its exercise is that it
has been and may be abused, but this OBJ
lection will lie against the exercise of almost
any Federal power. That the Republicans
did not intend that this act should be an in-
strument of abuse or oppression or of parti-
san advantage is, we think, sufficiently
proved by the fact that the power of appoint
ing the supervisors is given to the United
States Courts, and that they are to be taken
from the opposing political parties, and that
it was fully discussed. On its face, in fact,
the measure has all the marks of fairness and
jmpartiality." The Nation adds: ''If the
Democrats repeal it they will commit anoth-
er of the blunders which have so often
robbed them of power when 1t seemed all but
within their grasp, and which they commit
whenever they get chance, with a sort of
passionate avdity."

Magazine Notices.

The March number of the International Rs
view indicates that under its new management
and the direction of its accom- plished editors it
will easily go to the very forefront of Ameri-
can periodicals.. Perhaps the proper way, as il
is the eminently safe way, to deal with the H.
ternatioual under its changed conditions is to
find marks of "crudeness," of ''haste," and to
claim for it ''indulgence." These are the
things to be said of venture. If the venture
is successful the reviewer can remark that it
has outgrown the faults of its youth: If it is
failure he can triumphsntly shout 81 told you
so!' We prefer however to frankly recognize
the worth of the Revew-if it fails its failure
will be reprosch to the public, not to the un-
dertsker5 of tile experiment. The first num-
Der under the new editorship contains perhaps
as many worthless or trivial papers as do some
of the older periodicals, but it has articles of
positive merit. Three of these certainly are
worth the careful attention and dligent read
ing of all interested in the financial and other
economic problems that are now perplexing
our legislators: these are. The Currency and
the National Banks, by George Walker; The
Silver Conference and the Silver Question, by
Professor Newcomb; and The Present Condi-
tion Of the United States Navy, by a writer
whose name is withheld. Mr.. Walker discus
ses the arguments for and against an exclusive
government currency and dispels many of the
illusions regarding the privileges" and "pro.
fits' of national banks Professor Newcomb
furnishes calm and dispassionate review of
the silver question and judicially sums up the
arguments for and against bi-metalism. The
| H.
tremsts at either end, and that will be its
| strongest recommendation to moderate men.
1t deals with facts and figures to the exclusion
| Of theories, and the differences drawn deserve
| the careful and studious attention of those who
make our laws. The paper relating to the con-
| d dtion of the navy is profitable for reproof and
| obstruction though not fattering to nsionai
pride. Too many Sir Joseph Porters appear to
| have been in the Naval Department of late
| years.
In addition to these three there are other
papers of interest Sidney Lanier discourses
! pleasantly and entertainingly of Forgotten
Eoglish Poet, the poet being Bartholomew
Griffin, whose verses seem equal to Though
they have not fingered in memory those of
Drayton aud Daniel and Drummond. The
Administration and Civil Service Reform deals
with subject that seems really dead though il
may only be in trance, and exposes the in
consistences of men in authority who have
meddled with the vexed question. Sleep and
Dreams, by Professor N. S. Sbaler, is read
able dscursive paper that leaves US no wiser
than it found us Salf-Government in the
Territories, by one of the unknown judges of q
llttle-known region, is trivial in substance and

those brief, hasty and inadeqate comments on
current literature which the International has

We are requested to ask the PRESS 10
furnish little Information. The Postmaster
at West Baldwin says that the Nation al
Banks are compelled to redeem their notes in
coin and that if they fail to do so the gov
erpment will furnish the coin. He says if
this is not so, then the National Banking
law is humbug. LEADER.
The Greenbackers appear to be greatly
troubled about the redemption of national
bank notes. AS long as the bank notes are
redeemable in greenbacks and the green
backs in gold, the bank paper is in effect re-
deemable in gold. 1t is now exchangeable
with gold without circumocution, as any man
who wishes to turn his paper money into coin
can convince himself. As long as the holder
can get greenbacks for national bank notes
and gold for greenbacks he will be satisfied
with the redeemability of the bank paper,
As it happens greenbacks are now received
for all debts due the Government, and
while they are legaltender the banks in
common with other debtors will use them in
discharge of pecuniary obligations.

Mr.. RUST OF Belfast, the defeated Green
back candidate for Mayor of that city, ex-
plains that his defeat is owing to the fact
that the election "turned entirely upon polit-
ical issues" 1t is that very fact which
makes the result SO gratifying to Republi
cans. Mr.. Rust consoles himself and his
party with the remark "We have at least,
compelled our opponents to roost low down
on majority.'' Yes, he actually forced them
to turn Greenback majority into Republi-
can one. He put his nose between bis oppo-
nent's .eeth and held him on top, like the
