IL Our respected brother of the
Journal seems to have taken our inten-
ton to shut free reading notices from
our columns as personal grievance,
judging from the tone Of some editorial
remarks upon the matter in that mort
bund sheet last week. We care little
for the evident malice of the article but
would be happy to get an explanation
of one or two assertions. lie says:
We supposed all our brethren of the press
charged pay for publishing these notices, as well
that even the Register man, or anybody else was
green enough TO no so foolish thing.
The Journal man knows that such a
statement as this is a mere subtcrfuge.
lie knows that the advertising agents,
when they require reading notices, al
ways lump them with the advertise
ment in the contract, and offer gross
price for the whole which is never more
than the advertisement alone ought to
bring. If he means to insinuale that he
gets an extra price for the reading
notices published in the journal, he
simply insinuates what is untrue. He
further says:
We know he 1.-The editor of the Registerl pub
lished an advertisement offs quarter ola column
Tor village advertiser, which he says he ordered
out last spring, but thought it was TO fill Upland
save the expense of setting up reading matter
We are not quite certain as to the exact
meaning of this fine, clear sentence, but
its drift seems to be that there are adj
vertisements in the Register which
have been ordered out, and which are
still retained in our columns to save
inserting reading matter-or else that
such has been the case at some time in
the past. If such is the assertion, we
have to say that we know of no instance
of the kind and fear that our brother of
the Journal has allowed his malice TO
carry him to the point of downright
falsehood. On one or two occasions
we have had an order to discontinue an
advertisement so late in the week that
to take it out would delay the publica-
ton of our paper, but ii never remain
ed longer than that one week after the
order to stop it was received. We
have little doubt that our respected
brother has had similar experience.
But if he means what his words seem
to imply, we should be pleased to have
himname the advertisement so retained
in our columns.

ADDISON COUNTY AT THE STATE
FAIR.-This county was not very
largely represented in the exhibits Al
the state fair, except that, with one ex.
ception, all the exhibitors of merino
sheep were from this county. There
were only four in all, however, the
show in sheep being very meagre. F..
ID. Barton, of Vergennes, and l.. Z.
Clark, of Addison, had fiocks, includ-
ing some very fine rams. Dean a. Jen-
nings, of West Cornwall, had twenty
three sheep, among them being their
noted stock ram Jason. Their exhibit
was a very fine one, including some
very handsome ram lambs. The fine,
even fleece was a marked characteristic
which attracted much attention. The
other exhibit was that no. & Il. s.
Hall, of Randolph, who had good lot,
though less care seemed to have been
taken TO make them presentable for ex-
hibition than was the case with the
Addison county sheep.
Rollin A. Foote a. Son, of Cornwall,
agents for the Oliver sulky pillow, had
two of the plOws on exhibition, which,
however, through some fault of the rail
road people were from Monday morning
until Wednesday noon making the
journey from Middlebury.
W. ID. Lane, of New Haven, had an
exhibit of apples, which, though not
the best in the large and magnificent
display of this fruit, was very fine, and
creditable to the enterprising young
scotsman. lie also had some vegeta-
blcs, including some of his mammoth
beets.
Joseph Battell had Jersey bull and
two heifers, uuder the care of Mr.. j.
Mcmahon. We understand that he
also had some of his horses entered.
In some of the races, j. Battelrs
stallion Motion, ii. G. Sessions Chal-
l9nge, and w. ii. Ellis Silver Nell
are entered, all from Middlebury.

that DIR. Loring. the New Commits
sioner of agriculture, stated at the
New England fair the other day
among other things, that he had APP
pointed scientific board of surgeons
to select the best points for artesian
wells in the great arid regions east of

of surgeons to cure the local diseases OF

W hat he is about. The information,
however, comes through the Free
