DEMOCRATIC RALLY AT FAYsTON Cen
TER-Saturday evening, August 81, the
faithful few of the democratic persuasion
gathered their forces at Fayston Center tc
hear G. M. Fisk, Esq. of Mortified anc
other speakers talk on the political issues
of the day. Of course, Mr.. Fisk repre-
scented the democratic party to be the only
salvation of this great republic. The
south he claimed, both white and black,
were unanimously voters of the demo
cratic ticket, which many of the republi
cans who heard him did not doubt, but they
thought that the persuasive influence o
the shot gun had more to do with the bal
To- box than the real convictions of the
voters, as far as the negroes were con
cerned.
John Senter, Esq, of Warren also spoke
more particularly on our state finances
and taxation.
The key note of all the speakers wa
simply to compress great deal of talk il
few words, to elect democratic towr
and county officers and taxes will be re
duced and Vermont recover her old-tim'
prosperity. Elect the Hancock and En-
glish ticket and our great United State
will flow with milk and honey. If tn
opposition ticket is elected dire evils ar
prognostcated.
There were from twenty to thirty demo
Gratis present, few republicans and
sprinkling of women and children.

The opening of Village Hall after its
late repairs will be celebrated by the pro-
duction by our home musicians of the
|" Doctor of Alcantara." Two entertain
ments will be given, the first on Friday
evening, the 9th. and the second Satur.
day evening the 2sth. On this occasion
the new scenery procured for the hall will
be first used. This scenery consisting Of
six full scenes, with drop curtain and
wings, is the work of DR.. Evans. long
scene painter for Wallack's theater. and
has been procured at a cost of about $500
The proceeds of these entertainments will
go towards paying for the scenery and any
surplus will be used for the benefit of the
hall. The entertainment will be well
worth listening to for itself and its object
will help towards getting full houses.
The seating capacity of the hall is now
600 against less than 400 before the re-
pairs. and it is thought that what has beer
done will double the revenue which the
village gets for its use.

Ho! For WATERBURY.-The republi.
can clubs of Montpelier having been
invited by the Waterbury republicans to
make them visit, are going Thursday
evening of this week. The band will GO
and the four clubs will go and number Of
folks will 20. OF course the weather may
be so bad that nobody will go but the
chances are that if Vennor isn't too ugly
there will be quite procession and if
anybody likes to count he can find out how
many there are in it. There is every
prospect of full turnout that will exceed
even the one to Planield last Friday
evening. There is to he torch-light
procession we understand.

WHAT CROW is WoRTH.-The fool
ish light in which = man may place
himself by thoughtlesS exaggeration Was
never more amusingly illustrated than in
the following case, as described in Cham
ber's journal.
A gentleman giving evidence before a
parliamentary committee, said that in
some districts the number of crows upon
a farm would average at least so; that
the birds were of great service in destroy
ing wire worms. and where they did not
exist the farmer was obliged to hire boys
to do the work of the crow, paying them
at the rate of three half pense per 100
worms. Mr.. Bright inquired how much
boy could earn worm killing, and was
told Cd, but when aked If boy made Cd.
day at the rate of three half pense hun
dred wire worms, how many of those
noxious creatures he destroyed in day.
the witness. turning FESTIVE, replied that
he did not come there to answer arith-
metical questions. Mr.. Bright, however,
was not to be put off in that way. He
asked if hoy did the work as well rs a
crow. "a crow is worth so boysm was
the rash reply. Then quoth Mr.. Bright;
"If boy is worth 3D. day, crow
worth so boys. how much is the. crow
worth to the farmer in money!" Not
unnal urally, the gentleman lost his tenn
per, but in vain. Paper, pen and ink
were handed to him. and after battling
with the figures awhile. he announced that
crow was worth Just 37s. cd. day tt
the farmer. He was then asked to inform
the committee what, at that rate, was the
yearly value of the bird; and of course
could not make it less than 1854, Is, cd
! His prosecutor next reminded the bad
gered man that he had given fifty AS the
average number of crows on a farm. anC
desired him to find the aggregate annua
value to the farmer of his proper quota O
these useful aids. thereby eliciting the
startling information that the farmer mus
be gamer of over f34, 900 per annum b
his hundred crows.
