A Proclamation OF Fasting and Prayer.

In accordance with custom, 80 long
and scrupulonsly observed in New Eng
land that it seems almost part of our
religious faith, I, Roswell Farnham,
Governor, hereby appoint Friday, the
seventh day of April next, as a day of
fasting, humiliation and prayer. And
urge upon all good citizens that they
regard the day not only by refraining
from their usual employments and i'm
proper amusements, but also by such
religious observahces in places of public
worship, and in their homes as are be-
fitting the day.
Given under my hand and the seal of
the state in executive chamber at Brad
ford, this thirteenth day of March, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-two, of the indie
pendence of the United States the one
hundred and sixth, and of this common
wealth the one hundred and fifth.

Timothy Wheeler of Waterbury, who

hasa high local reputation as an author
ity on the subject, says: "The sap
season for the coming spring will be a
good one, about No. 2, not the best,
not so good as last spring, but 1t will be
a good medium. The general sap will
start sweet this spring, unlike last
spring. The above conclusions are the
result of years of close and patient OBJ
servation. In the winter of 1873 1 had

EThe Office of county commission

EThe office of county commission
or is highly honorable one, and is
supposed by the uniformed to give
the incumbent chance to sample liq-
uors. Whether "Clint" Kinsley of the
Burlington Clipper was uninformcd,
or whether he merely consented" to
let his "friends" run him just for the
fun of it we cannot say, but he came
near getting the Office away from the
regular nominee of Chittenden County,
Mr.. S. II. Weston. The latter's ma
jority was only eighty-two. There are
positions in which Kinsley might
shine, that of boo!black, for instance,
but running him for county commits
sioner looks like a miserably small
joke by parties who want to bring the
administration of our liquor law into
contempt.

n Vergennes, next Monday, will
have a splendid chance to see whether
our prohibitory law can be made a
farce. There was probably never a
clearer case, nor one in which the evil
dence was apparently SO plentiful. II
the prosecution of the proprietor of the
Stevens House fails, or II the results are
small, there is no longer any use in
trying to restrain this class of crimi-

II In the past year nearly 10000, 900
barrels of malt and liquors were sold in
this country. The beer business is
reaching enormous proportions and is
rapidly increasing. Drinking decent
beer is not 30 harmful as swilling down
whisky, but the good it docs to the
drinker is nothing, while in many ways
it is positively injurious. The increase
In its consumption is matter OF grave
concern to every friend of temperance.
