Among the gentlemen whose names
we hear mentioned for the next Repre-.

Esq. Mr.. Blair is an upright, conscien-
tious, honest ScOtchman, that would be
an honor to any constituency, and. We
hope the Republican party will be wise
enough to put him in nomination at theil
caucus. He can poll more votes thar
any other man in town for any office
The suggestion of his name makes the
Democrats shudder with fear.

We learn that the village authori-
ties and other parties here, have recent
ly invited Mr.. James E. Emerson, the
eminent hydraulic engineer of Holyoke,
Mass. to make examination of the wa
ter power of Paddock village, with the
view to an equitable division of the
same. We have not learned the opin-
ion of Mr.. Emerson, only we understand
he advises the putting in of new water
wheels, so that there may be the best
economy in the use of the water. 1t is
claimed by some, that by putting in
new and improved wheels, about one
half of the amount of water could be
saved. We don't know anything about
the matter particularly, but it has al
ways been our judgment that in place
like this, where there are so many
works, and such demand for water,
and also that this demand is going to
increase instead of diminish, that it
would not only be wisdom, but the best
of economy to put in more modern and
| improved wheels. Unless we are great
ly mistaken, the day is not far off when
all will see the matter in this light
If the power here can be saved by one
third, or one half, it is matter of some
consequence.

children crying, to find that the house
was all in flames. He threw out bed,
and then threw the children on to it.
He had hardly got out himself when
the house fell. There was very little
insurance on the house, and as they
saved nothing it has left the family en-
tirely destitute. There has been quite
donation of money and provision
made for them.

Fire at Paddock Village.

On Monday morning a fire was dis
covered in house owned by Francis
Jones, situated on the corner of Water
street, and now occupied by Joseph
Ivers. 1t appears that the baby, who
was sleeping in room near to a closet
full of clothes, made quite an cutlery,
and upon investigation the closet was
found to be on fire, and everything in
and near it all charred, and the fire
about ready to burst out. The alarm
was given, the hose laid, and every
thing got ready, but the fire was finally
extinguished with pals. 1t is believed
that in ten minutes more the buildings
could not have been saved. The dam
age is thought to be about $50.

To Farmers.

10 = druerS.
The drouth has been SO long contin-
ued that many farmers are complaining
of short feed and low springs. From
some experience in the matter, and con-
siderable sympathy for the dumb
beasts, we would advise farmers every
where to look to the water in their pas
lures. 1t is often the case that animals
have to drink from mnd holes, and we
know they must more or less go thirsty.
This is cruel, and ought to be seen to.
When water is low, cattle often punch
up the soil near springs and brooks,
making it difficult to get a sufficient
supply. A good way is to put in low
tubs or troughs in the best places that
can be found, and large enough to hold
at least days supply. Animals can
then quench their thirst with some
comfort, and especially so in that sea-
son of the year when it would seem
they would suffer most from insufficient
cy of this great necessity.

Odd Fellows Excursion.

Last Saturday the excursion of Moose
River Encampment of this place, to-
gether with members of Caledonia
Lodge, Union Lodge and Connecticut
River Lodge of Odd Fellows and invit-
ed guests, accompanied by the ST
Johnsbury Cornet Band, in all about
$50, went on an excursion to Highgate
Springs and Missisquoi Park. The train
left st. Johnsbury depot about n
O'Clock a. M, in charge of Conductor
Knights, and arrived at the Park lit
tie after noon. A procession was form
ed, headed by the band, followed by
uniformed Patriarchs, and members OF
the subordinate lodges i'll regalia, well
supported by a commissary brigade,
and marched to the grove; where they
broke ranks and dispersed in every di-
rection to partake of much needed din
ner, after which the afternoon was de-
voted to rambling about this beautiful
Park and lake shore, boating, swinging,
playing croquet, bathing, &c. An in
vitation had been extended to other
lodges in the state and part of Cana
da to join in this excursion, and good
ly number did so, about two carloads
coming from st. Adams and south OF
there, and two or three lodges from
Canada were represented. One of the
objects of this gathering was to form a
State Association for the purpose OF
yearly meetings and such an organiza-
ton was formed with the following Off
GERS:
N. P. Bowman, St. Johnsbury, presi-
dent; H. H. Farnsworth, st. Adams,

The only regret expressed by those
who attended was that the time wal
too short at the Park, the stay there
being about four hours. The ground
have been conveniently fitted up by the
Central Vt. R. R., and under charge
of an agent of that road. There are ex
tensive walks laid in all directions, an(
as one goes from point to point, new
and attractive scenes are spread out be
fore them; the boating facilities arr
first-class and the fishing is good abou
, the bay. A string of pickerel brough
J in by a fisherman made many of thu
excursionists long to stop and try thei
hand at that sport.
At half-past four all were aboard thu
train and homeward bound, where the.
arrived at nine o'clock, feeling tina
they had been well served by the rail
road and it's employees, and had enjoye'
the day to its full extent. We predic
,, that another year will see much larg
er gathering of this order at some poin
in our state.

Ryegate.
R. F. Carter of South Ryegate has
lately purchased the buildings he has
occupied as a dwelling and boarding
house, and upon which he has expend-
ed within the last two years more than
$4,000, having occupied them under a
lease of five years, with the privilege of
buying at a stipulated price at any time
during the life of the lease. These
buildings now present very attractive
external appearance, and are certainly
very commodious and well adapted to
the purpose for which he designs them,
inside. He is proprietor of a granite
quarry on Blue Mountain, one of the
best, if not the best, in the state. Upon
this quarry he has expended a large
amount of money in opening, and en-
ploys large force in this branch of his
business, but his largest force is en-
plOyed at South Ryegate in monument
al work, of which he does an immense
business, having orders ahead to the
amount of $4,000. He is man of
untiring energy, thoroughly acquainted
with and thoroughly devoted to his
business.
Seldom has the grain crop been bet

Speaking of flowers, the genuine
lover sees not only beauty about them,
but utility also. In them there is a
world of comfort to those whose purity
and ideality are developed. We do
not envy those persons whose minds ale
so materialistic, cold and unsympathetic
as never to see anything attractive and
inspiring in the beautiful flowers. 1t is
a sure sign, however poor or uneducat-
ed family may be, if one sees pot OF
flowers in the window, that there is
somebody there who has tender heart,
and streak of real good about them.
These little things are Gods missiona-
aries to the human heart.
