ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF HARDWARE.

ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF HARDWARE
The recent advance in the price of iron ore
has caused corresponding increase in the
price of all kinds of iron manufacture So
far as railroad and machinists supplies are
concerned, this advance would not be felt by
the general public, but as it applies rs well
to hardware for household use, the sudden
rise in the value of the crude material effects
everyone more or less throughout the coun-
try. Prices are advancing so rapidly that
manufacturers refuse TO make fixed rates,
agreeing only to ship the dealers at the rul-
ing price on the day of delivery. Those
who have a large stock of goods on hand,
purchased at a time when iron was cheap,
will rcapa handsome profit by the advance
Manufacturers were then only too glad to
receive orders and ship at once. Now they
are more independent, dictate their own
terms, and decline to accept any comprO-
misses Withina week certain grades of hard
ware have advanced twice in price in a single
day, and tine general advance has been
from % to so per cent.

The st. Adams Messenger of Friday
evening gives an account of an assault upon
Mrs. Giles Merrill, whose husband was for so
many years general superintendent of the
Central road. This occurred while the lady
was returning from church, and the villain
took hold of her and prevented her from
screaming by placing his hands over her
mouth; but she finally got away from him.
The same evening another lady was assault
ed in the same manner, but made violent
defence with an umbrella and drove the
fellow off. These assaults presumably
occurred in the thickly settled portions Of
the village and at IA reasonably early hour,
and yet in both cases the ladies' had CON
siderable trouble in Kidding themselves of
their tOrmentors, and in neither did any
help appear, which speaks i'll for the police
regulations of that village, to say the least

RUTLAND County CoURT In the Rutland
County Court, Monday, four liquor dealers
were fined an aggregate of $500 and costs.
When the case of fifth dealer was reached
aplea in abatement was filed and read. setting
up among other things that the grand jury
was illegally constituted, in that one of them,
viz, John s. Paris, had been drawn as
juror for the September term, 1877 and that
he vas disqualified and could not act as
juror under n law passed by the Legislature,
session Of 1873, in amendment of section 8,
chapter 81, general statutes said amend
ment is rs follows And in no town con-
tanning more than two hundred inhabitants
shall the names of persons drawn by such
sheriff or deputy be again placed in the box
for the space of two years from such draw
ing" Counsel claimed in substance that this
statute was mandatory and disqualified the
person so drawn, and consequently there
was no legally constituted grand jury, and
all bills found by them were void. To the
plea the States Attorney filed demurrer
and claimed that the statute was simply di-
rectOry, and ev;n admitting that il was as
claimed by counsel, it did not effect this case
as the law did not go into effect until No
yember 26, 1873 and therefore had nothing
to do with the number of times that any one
had been drawn previous to the passage of
the act. The court held that the statute was
directory, and overruled the plea in abate-
ment and ordered that the trials be proceed
ed with.
On Tuesday another batch of liquor-sell-
ers. including the proprietors of the Bates
and Berwick houses, plead guilty and were
fine-the fines of the twelve respondents ag-
gregating $1,000.

Il HAD heard a good deal OF the beauty of
Burlington" said a traveller to Landlord
Drew of the American, the other day, land
! came here expressly to see it. 1t is Il
beautiful city, with scenery as fine as any
ever saw, and have travelled good deal.
1t seems to have good many nice places in
it, also with handsome grounds. But they
are hid behind tall hedges The taste and
elegance is here, but it can't be seen. Don't
your people know that they are behind the
times that in the best kept places nova
days, the owners of nice residences are tax
ing down the front hedges and even the
fences, and throwing their grounds open TO
the view and enjoyment Of the public: 1t
would greatly improve your city if there was
not hedge in it." And those who heard the
strangers talk were obliged TO confess that
there was force and sense in his criticism.

1t is hoped that testimony in the Bolton
land case Will be closed by tomorrow noon.
TUESDAY, Sept %.
At the adjournment of court this after
noon Mr.. Wilbur was making the opening
argument in the Bolton land case, the tesii-
mony having at length been completed.
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 24
At 1l:20 this forenoon the grand jury
came in and reported through their foreman
as follows
We have examined the court house and
ind the same in good repair and in good con-
dition, clean and well cared for.
We have examined the county Jail
and find the same clean well-kept
and in wholesome condition. The
building, while it is ample for present needs
IN It's accommodations, is manifestly made
quaie and insufficient as and for common
jail. In our opinion the prisoners are kindly
treated and well kept Every precaution is
taken by the gaoler both in his treatment of
the inmates and in providing for their sccu-
rity. We think the ventilation and sewer
age are attended to as faithfully
AS they can he under the circum-
stances, and are well pleased with the
present efficient management Of the Jail.
We express the opinion that the old Jail
buildings do not afford sufficient security.
To incur the necessary expense 10
put the old buildings in suitable re-
pair, we deem it unwise We therefore
suggest to the citizens of this county the
propriety of building jail Should another
location be more desirable than the present
one the proceeds that would arise from the |
sale of the old Jail property would meet Il |
very large share of the expense Of new
building
We make the above suggestion and leave
the matter before the county, hoping in due |
time proper action will be taken in the |
matter.
