Death of Thomas CARLYLE.

Thomas Carlyle, essayist, historian,
but above all, moralist, died Saturday
at his home in Chelsea, near London.
He is one of the great men of his age,
one of the greatest influences ever
started on the field of humanity. He
preached the curse and destruction of
shams, and has much to do with what
ever lessening of shams there has been
in this century; he preached also the
gospel of the ruler, the strong man, "a
doctrine against which this present
drift of the world rebels, and which he
never hoped to see operative. His
work is cumulative to high degree,
affecting all thinkers and not little
affecting the wider public in this cOun-
try who read,-more, no doubt, than in
his own. His "SartOr Resartus.n his
"French Revolution" his Frederick
the Great" are bound to live, and his
various tracts for the times cannot fail
of pertinence at other iuuctures OF
change, as at those on which they were
issued. He is one of the few men of
the century for whom may be safely
predicted immortality of renown.-

A Fatal Depot Collapse,

The roof of the old New York Central
depot at Buffalo, weakened by the re-
moval of the offices, which formerly
supported it, and weighed down with
snow, fell in at o'clock yesterday
morning, killing Henry Walters, Super
intendent Tillinghast's private secreta-
ry, Capt. John Burns, William Wells,
clerk for Car Inspector Howe of the
Lake Shore road, and Levi S. Hunting.
clerk in the Botfalo, New York and
Philadelphia railroad office A Lake
Shore train and switch engine were
waiting in the depot, but their occu-
pants were not injured. The fire de-
partment and railroad men began mt
once to overhaul the ruins and soon
recovered the bodies of the dead. The
old depot, built in 1855 and $50 feet
long by 100 feet wide, is mass of III
ms. An express train was soon due
from the East, and local train for Nj
agara Falls had just left.

Floods in California.

The heavy rains which have fallen in
some parts of California the past two
OF three weeks, have caused very di-
sastrous floods. Damage is not con-
fined to one section, but extends over
several counties. The entire Sacra-
mento valley presents the appearance
eff a vast inland sea. Numberless
houses have been swept away, but for
tunately, the loss of life so far reported
is very small. Hills, high ground and
levees in the overlooked districts are
covered with live stock, and there is a
great demand for boats to save what
cattle, sheep, etc, remain, as a great
number have been drowned. To-day
Thursday is appointed as a fast
throughout the state, although it is e1-
pected the worst of the flood is over.
Sacramento city, which was once de-
stroyed by flood, and was afterwards
raised ten feet or SO at an enormous ex-
pense, was again seriously threatened
the past week.

a barrel of cider in my cellar last spring,
| then and there denied telling him so.
Then Mr.. Morrill, said our hired girl
told him / keep alcohol in my house. |
arose to explain why kept it, and l
could not have the floor. Mr.. Morrill,
knew very well why l kept it; he knew
that | practiced medicine and was
obliged to keep alcohol to cut homeo-
pathic tinctures, as he and | have talk
ed that once, aud the charge was made
to misrepresent me. | told MI. Hovey
last spring | made cider vinegar, and
three years before l bought a barrel of
cider for vinegar, and when l put it in
to my cellar and put the necessary arti-
cles into it to turn it to vinegar, as soon
as possible, the barrel was closed and
not opened again until it became vine
gar. At the time of my conversation
with Mr.. Hovey we had used it for
vinegar two years. | do not call vine
gar cider, even if it is made of cider. |
never kept Clucl III my hOusO OIuCi
than boiled cider. You say again,
when such a prominent temperance
man, and one above reprOach, like c.
L. Morrill,, cannot be named before
convention without being slandered
and traduced by hot-headed bigots and
fanatics, the temperance party of this
county has those within its organization
which do the party more harm than
good" Now if C. L. Morrill, is a tenn
perance man, and one above reproach,
l want to be more; and if being more
makes me a hot-headed bigOt and
fanatic, l wish to be that. And if con-
demning intemperance in officials makes
me that, please give me that name, and
l am not ashamed of it either. If we
wish to improve the morals of a COM
munity, the place to commence is with
the officials. g. X. DREW.

Mr.. Cooper on the Irish Troubles.

Mr.. Peter Cooper of New York seems
to have a memory as well as common
sense. He has written a letter to Mr..
Gladstone id regard to the Irish troubles
which is worthy of notice. He rehears-
es to the Englishman the fact that "a
few men of sound judgment" proposed
30 years ago that the United States gov
eminent should free the southern slaves
by purchasing them at their highest
estimated cost" in the aggregate S4,
O00,000,000. No one would listen to
the advice, and 100000 lives and S.
O00,000,O00 were sunk in war, leaving a
debt of S2,OOO,O 100000 still unpaid.
"Will not the policy of coercion" says
Mr.. Cooper, applying the experience of
one English-speaking nation to the
other, "cost the people of Great Britain
more than it would to purchase and
sell the Irish lands to the tenants at
such rates as they could afford to pay
for them ~

State Poultry Association.
Editor Of the Cdledonian

Editor Of the CGledOniaR
The exhibition of the Vt. State Peul
try Association was held at Rutland
last week. From posters, etc, it was
generally supposed it would be a very
large show. Instead of being the larg-
est show, it proved to be about the
smallest of Vermont shows, there being
only about 200 entries. The show of
poultry was not as large or as good as
at st. Johnsbury. The largest exhibit
or, as at St. Johusbury, was c. F..
Thompson, and had it not been for him
there would have been a very small
show. In their premium list they urge
every one to come to their show, and
state that Justice shall lie done" But
their ideas of justice must be different
from those of most people, for when
they pay their premiums they say,
Our show has not been Il success, there
fore we shall pay but fifty cents on a
dollar. Men who had done the most
for the show did not get enough to pay
their expressage. One man told me
that this made six shows he had visited
this season, and all but this one had
paid their bills in full. BE that as it
may, one thing is certain, that is that
the VT. State Poultry Association is
dead and will probably remain so.

r. Late Washington gossip reports
that Gen. Garfield is seriously contem
plating the appointment of Mr.. Wheel
er to the treasury, This would be an
excellent choice, but will not probably
prove ue,-A strong recommended
ton of Postmaster James for the post
master-generalship has been sent to
Gen. Garfield from New York signed by
the presidents of the produce, cotton

and chamber of commerce.-There
are indications that the Presidents

The Cost of Fuel.

The advance of two or three dollars
a ton in coal last summer, over the pre-
vious year, prevented many in this vi
ciDity from using coal this winter who
would have used it had it remained at
former prices. The extremely low rate
at which coal could be bought i'll '79
tended to lessen the amount of wood
cut the succeeding winter; thus while
less wood was cured than usual more
has been wanted, owing to above men,
toned circumstances, and also the ex-
treme cold and long winter; conse
queutly there is a scarcity of good dry
wood in this market and III surrounding
towns.
This is a state of things that We are
liable to, so long as we depend largely
upon wood for fuel. This community
must depend upon coal for fuel more
generally. 1t is a matter of economy
to do so even at present prices of coal.
1t is acknowledged by good judges that
one ton of coal is worth two cords OF
wood for heating purposes. All through
the fall and early winter, the best wood

Steamer Bohemian Lost.
TH1RTY-Two PERSONS DROWNED.

THIRTY-TwO PERSONS DROWNED.
The Allan line steamer Bohemian,
which sailed from Boston for Liverpool
January %, went ashore in DunlOugh
bay on the coast of Ireland in a terrible
storm Sunday night, and is total loss.
Thirty-two persons were drowned, and
twenty one of the crew, including the
second officer, were saved. There were
no passengers on board. One of the
crew reached a rock some distance
from the mainland, but at last accounts
all efforts to save him had failed, two
life boats being capsized in the attempt
The steamer had general cargo, in
Guiding about % cattle. This is the
third or fourth steamer that the COM
pany has lost, one of them being the
vessel that went to pieces Oft Portland,
Me-, in 1864, when there was such a
terrible destruction of life.

arbitrarily, particularly in the way of
discOntinuing certain ferries which did
not pay as much as Others. They are
now to be sued for enormous arrears
of rent which it is claimed they owe
the cities which they connect, and for
which under some agreement with
Tweed's Ring they have for some years
paid 81 year into the city treasury.
Their lease has nearly expired, and the
privilege they have enjoyed as a mo-
nopOly is to be offered to the highest
bidder. They need stirring up, and
this sort of thing is likely to do it pref
ty etfectually.
People who go to some of our seaside
resorts during the summer, forgetting,
as the Herald wittily puts it, to leave
their noses behind, and the unfortunate
residents of Manhattan and Long Island
have for some years been periodically
assaulted with what would seem to be
concentrated Odor of 100000 skunks.
The fact is, there are sundry rendering
establishments, in more or less remote
localities, conducted on gigantic scale,
which furnish forth eXhaiations which
every zephyr watts to the unappTecia-
tive denizens of the city and country,
for many miles, of the most noisOme
character. A much enduring public
has resolved to stand it no longer, and
a war of determination has been COM
menced. The human vultures who re-
joice in their fetid but lucrative Pur-
suit, are likely to be forever squelched.
One of our Old-time contractors,
whose labors have done much to make
upper New York the city it is-more
famous, however, as Tweed's bonds
man-was Charles Devlin. He is dead,
and is mourned by thousands. He
was at one time very wealthy, though
he commenced life at the very foot of
the ladder, having come here from Ire
land an illterate, wild boy; however,
he lost most of his money, and, till he
died, seemed to have passed from I'M
der the microscopical scrutiny and
criticism which every public or semi
public individual here has to endure as
philosophically as he may. Devlin was
by no means rich when he died, except
in the good will and esteem of his fell
low-men. Few people have been more
popular; fewer still are ever likely to
be escorted to their last resting place
by such a multitude of sympathizers.

follows: Whole number of electoral
votes cast, 369. Necessary for choice,

Eighty miners were discharged from
the Bonanza mines at Virginia City,
New, and there is little likelihood
that they will be replaced, as the ore
bodies have generally been worked as
long as ore extraction would pay for
mining and milling.
The driver of blackboard, bringing
the mails from Tuscosa, Tex, to Fort
Elliot and two passengers were lost in
the recent storm. Two men named
Herold and Robinson and n woman
have persisted il snow-slides near Quin

Cyrus Smith has been arrested at
Short Creek, Kan, for defrauding the
government out of So, 900 worth of
revenue stamps. 1t is said Smith and
others entered into a conspiracy at
Chicago to cheat the government.
They bought stamps on the Pretence Of
starting a match factory, gave a bond
for the payment of them, and then sold
them. Smith, while in Jail at Carthage,
No, attempted suicide, but took an
overdose.

The whipping-Post for wife-Beaters.

Public attention has been called of
late to the "revival of the whipping
post" for crimes against woman, and we
notice Mr.. Henry Bergh of New York,
the gentleman of wide note as a hu-
manitarian, is endeavoring to get such
a bill through the New York legisla-
ture. 1t is amusing to notice the out
cry raised in some quarters against this
"barbarous' measure. And our racy
and witty "Radix" SHES a sarcastic
brick bat at Mr.. Bergh for this late
within of his. Now at this distance it
seems "barbarousn for a brute in the
form of a man to whip and abuse the
wife he has promised to cherish and
protect for an Englishman to kick in
his wife's ribs with hob-nail boOts-(not
an unfrequent occurrence, as many
know for a man in New York, the city
of both Bergh and "Radix," to hurl his
wife out of fourth-stOry window, or
chastise her with a lighted kerosene
lamp, meaning a horrible death in either
case.
We say at this distance these things
seem barbarous. But there are in
stances nearer home. Many remember
the beautiful and educated school
teacher, Marietta Ball of St. Adams
and the innocent school girl, Josie Lang
maid of mbroke, n. H., both the vic
tins of the lust of one brutal French
man. Yes, the whipping post is bar
barous, and something barbarOus is
needed for beings in the form of men
who abuse wOman-kiud. Some punish
meut is needed that will prevent this
barbarity. These men thrive on a few
months Imprisonment, with flowers and
delicacies sent in to them by namby
pamby women of both sexes, knowing
that in little while some political
''influence" will secure their pardon

Another Jersey Family Heard From.

From Feb. |, 1880, to Feb. l, 1881, l
have kept a record of my dairy, which
sums up as follows: In the winter of
1880. MIXED twenty seven cows at the
most; four of them yearling heifers,
and some two years old. This number
lasted for two months. The first of
June left off milking all but fourteen !;
these | MIXED through the summer. In
the fall they began to come in again,
and now 1 am milking 26. We cannot
get along without feeding. We give
our cows something to eat every day,
to keep them in mind of the milk pail
that has to be filled every day. /
feed from two to four quarts of meal
and bran mixed, and all good hay or
grass they want. My dairy consists of
Natives, Grades, and Jerseys-more
than half Jerseys. | have made the
present year 1920 pounds of butter.
After eating all we could, sold the bal
ance for S2,5l7.5l
Calves raised and sold 167. 25
Sour milk fed to hogs 1875
Milk, butter, etc, (estimated) 1850

II The question of town officers is
now agitating every town in Vermont.
Two weeks from next Tuesday is cleo
tion day. The new tax law, with all
its requirements, specifications, Obliga-
tions and ramifications, is something
that will require the best men for list
ers, and they will have no easy job.
And while the voters are about it, why
not elect the very best men for every
office2 1t is a good time to insist on
this.
