Within the corporate limits of Eufa-

and rattlesnake, and ended in the

They fought fast and tnriously, and

The Bennington Banner gives the
following information concerning re-
markablc butter COW: Con September
II from a thoroughbred Jersey COW,
eight years old, belonging TO Capt. Ii.
l.. Shields of this town, were made
from fourteen quarts OF milk (given at
two milkings, twelve hours aparD one
pound and fourteen ounces of thor
oughly washed, worked and sailed
butter. The cow calvcd January %
and is due again in January next. In
butter tests the weight is usually taken
before working and sailing, which two
processes diminish the weight over one
fifth. AT this rate the COW would have
after eight months continued milking.
1t is fair 10 presume that when fresh
and in fresh feed she would much
more exceed this quantity. The milk
ing, skimping, churning and weighing
was done in the presence Of reliable
persons"

BThc educational department of the
Province Of Ontario has gulSa, SG9lI,,s
schools of the Province on the ground
of its immortality. One of the charac-
ters of the poem is Constance, {. nm,
who runs away 10 become the mistress

Similar punishmenis in the converts

matters of history, though of course the

Doubtless the story of the barbarous

~Rev. Mr.. Hulbnrd, in his eloquent

~Rev. Mr.. Hulbnrd, in his eloquent
address at the Vergennes fair, was
quite emphatic in denouncing protec-
tive tariff and in favoring revenue
tariff. The orator on suoh an occasion
can have little time to discuss such q
question fairly, and however certain
Mr.. Hulburd may be in his own views
on the subject, it is too much for a
fair-minded person TO ask the farmers
to believe that the Disadvantages of a
protective tariff are not more than offset
The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1882-09-29

by its advantages, without giving some
clear reason why, which Mr.. llulburd
failed to to. One great fact which should
always he borne IN mind is that in
nearly every manufacture aud trade
wages in this country are much greater
than in the old world, and the vast dc
vplopmcnt OF our industries makes the
wagc earning class a great army of
consumers, whose high wages tend TO
give producers higher prices for all
they grow. Thus, farmers and labor
crs generally are able to make both
ends meet and live in comfort. Mean
while, the prices manufactured goods
arc not, in most eases, much higher
than in the old world, for il must al
ways lie kept in mind that the laws OF
competition in manufactures have their
fullest sway and effect in this couniry
of fifty millions of people and billions
of capital invested in manufacturing
There is free trade all over this great
nation of thirty-cight states, free trade
on scale never before known in the
world, and the people reap its full
benefits. But this competition has not
yet reached the point where The labor
ers arc ground down into the depths of
poverty and degradation, nor is it for
the interest of any class in this country
that il should be so. We do not want,
therefore, that such disastrous result
should be brought about by throwing
open our markets free TO the ill-raid
labor of England and Europe. All the
sophstication about lcssened wages be-
ing offset bv lcssened prices of goods to
the laborcr may be met by the simnln
consideration OF the TACT that the tenn
peratc and industrious laborcr in
America to-day is an independent man /;
in Europe he is Il crushed slave.
Mr.. lIulburd might very properly
have objected to our tariff as il is, for
there is no one who docs not know that
ii needs large amending, but the time
for free trade will come when the toll
ing masses of Europe can stay at homo
and make decent and independent
living, according to American ideas,
of from their earnings.

and a product of ], 9GG, 427 pounds; then
California with ,119 acres, and 1,444,-

A society sensation is causing much
comment in Genesco. Some time since
invitations were issued for the wedding
of Miss Minnie Curtis of Geneseo and
DR.. Frank Smcdley of Avon. Prcpa-
raiinns were mahn on tho nnet ,namnif-
cent scale, when suddenly the fact
leaked out that the couple had been
married some time previous. For a
time this rumor was cncrgctically de-
MED by the friends of both parties
The truth of the rumor was finally cs.
tablished, however, by the confession
OF Miss Curtis herself. She stated that
while out riding last June with DIR.
Smedley he dared her TO marry him, q
challenge which she accepted, and tho
ceremony was performed by a clergy
man i'll Henrietta. They intended to
keep the whole affair secret, but
somehow it leaked out. MI. aud Mrs
Curtis, therefore, sent notes to the in
vited guests stating that the ceremony
would not take place.
