LAMAR ON ARTHUR.

Just now there is naturally much
anxiety and diversity Of opinion re-
garding the policy of the new Presi-
dent, Chester A. Arthur. Many
think his will be stalwart admin
istration, directed by the influence
OF such men as Grant and Conkling,
while others believe he will contin.
ue the reforms and conservative
course pursued by his lamented
predecessor. Oiall the expressions
We have eeen from those who are
capable of Judging, we prefer to pin
our faith to the opinion of Senator
Lamar, which is as follows:
: II cannot say that | anticipate a
conservative administration under
President Arthur, al east if | am al
loved to judge by his present ante
cedents. He has hitherto acted, if
not under the inspiration of Mr..
Uonkhng, in the closest sympathy
and cooperation with the views of
the Senator from New York.
"There is nevertheless, every
thing in the surrounding conditions
ofhis accession to power to promote
departure from what would have
been his orlgin.l policy, and lie
cannot possibly pursue very stall
wart oue, and one of retractlon
against the conservative methods
instituted by Mr.. Hayes and fol-
lowed by Mr.. Garfield, without com
ing into direct conflict with the
rulings and tendencies Of the times.

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT CoURr-The MAY
term Of this court, holden at Windsor last week
was an unusually short one, lasting two days
The most important cases were those OF the gov.
eminent against Waite, and Alexander Stewart
against Judge Hilton, administrator OF Alexander
H. Stewards estate. The former was continued
until June 14th when 1t Is expected that Waite
will make strong fight. The latter was settled
by the parties but controversy arose as to the
payment Of counsel fees to Hon. l.. +. Chittenden
of New York, who, a. he claimed had been en-
ployed by the plaintiff, when the suit was frs,
brought. At this trial ex-Judge James Barr ett
appeared as counsel for Stewart. An amusing
scene occurred in court. Lawyer Chittenden as
serted that Alexander Stewart was at present in
Windsor, and that he was unduly restrained from
appearing in court Judge Wheeler said that II
the presence OF Alexander Stewart was desired he
should be brought into court and deputy mar
shall was sent to bring him into the court room.
There was dramatic scene on his entrance. Az
he stepped inside the bar, Lawyer Chittenden
arose and addressed the court, saying that he ap-
peared as the friend and counselor Of the poor
old man. and that it was his firm conviction that
Alexander Stewart was legal heir of the Stew
art estate, and that he could by the prosecution
of this suit secure for his client 10000. Mr..
Chittenden then stepped up to Alexander Stewart
and asked the old man IL he didn't recognize him
(Chittenden) as his counsel 81 never saw you
before" said the old gentleman. 1t is understood
that the court will protect Chittendens rights and
30 this long controversy involving 100000 came
to an end The case Of Jack Houghton, passing
counterfeit money. came up and decision was re-
served. He was remanded into custody.

CABor.-The question is often asked, Does 1t
pay to keep coarse wool sheep In large numbers9
The following figures may assist some at arriving
at a conclusion in the matter. Levi !. Walbridge,
one of our most thorough drve-ahead farmers,
has flock of ninety-four coarse wool sheep.
This spring from these he has sold twenty lambs
for six dollars per head, has thirty more that will
be fit for market the LIST Of June, and the re-
mainder the list Of July. Some Of his lambs when
nine weeks old weighed seventy pounds each.
His sheep averaged to shear eight pounds per
head. Any one who wishes to see good flock OF
sheep will do well to call and look his over He
will be pleased to show them to any one, and we
think it will be easy to see what good feed
and good care will do. Mr. Walbridge has
spent much money in experimenting in fert-
tilizers aud also in studying the different
chemical properties Of manures and what Is
lacking in his land that can be supplied by
fertilizers. In this way he is making his farm
very productive. lie is fast taking place in the
front rank of farmers Credit is due the listers
for the thorough and efficient manner in which
they have discharged the difficult duties Of that
office. They report the people on their part, as
general thing, ready to comply with the terms Of
the law, being obliged to double the list of only
one person. 1t is generally thought that as thu
people have gone through the trying ordeal ant
no lives have been lost or bones broken, the
| law will meet with much more favor another
year than it has the present year H. and f
F. Coburn have just lost sheep which has 9
| somewhat remarkable history. She was twenty
years old last month, and was one Of a flock o.
seyenty-fve which, when yearlings sheared min,
pounds Of washed wool. She has raised eighteen
lambs, and sheared in all about two hundred
pounds Of wool. Her pelt weighed fourteen ant
one-half pounds Her teeth were as perfect a.
when she was six years DID, and but for an un
| fortunate accident she would doubtless hav'
added several years to her long life. She was I

Decoration Day.

II Is with regret that we learn that In many
parts OF the state the observance OF this day Is
being neglected. The memory Of our dead SOL
diers ought not only to be always cherished, as It
IL, but the beautiful custom OF setting day
apart for Its public observance ought not to be
abandoned. The supervision OF the ceremonies
has always very properly been given to the Grand
Army Of the Republic but " each moment hath
It's sickle, emulous Of Times enormous scythe J"
and is working noseessly and ceaselessly, cutting
off the thread Of life and thinning its ranks.
Every year the cooperation OF citizens becomes
more and more needed. The time will come when
the last old soldier will be mustered out" and
no comrade left to decorate his grave with flowers.
1t will then become the duty Of the citizen, and 1t
ought to be pleasing one to assume the guar
disnsbip Of the day.
