care. 1t is cruel to SO feed and
house the helpless creatures as to
put them in a state of misery through
cold winter. In this regard there is
an improvement from year to year,
which we are glad to note.
Well, only about five months and
the swift returning sun will drive
back the cold blast, melt away the
snow and bring the blessing and life
of another spring. Wait patiently
and take the most comfort'possible.

WINTER.

The cold and stormy days which
follow a long period of agreeable
weather, indicate that winter has be-
gun in earnest-quite serious thing
in Vermont. While there may be
thaws and agreeable days, occasion
ly, the rule is that the four months
of December, January, February and
March are to be cold, stormy and
severe for man and beast. In this
section of the state, we do not only
have high latitude to contend with,
but high altitude and the floating
storms and squalls which hang about
the mountains. These months, while
they are not over full of work for
some classes, are busy ones for the
large class who use the snow for
numbering and teaming purposes.
Some mechanics have little leisure,
but nearly everybody has employ
ment. The farmer finds not many
spare moments, if he carefully tends
his stock and economically feeds out
his grain and fodder.
Within doors the busy housewife,
whose work never ends, finds few
leisure moments, and while winter
brings some relaxation it cannot be
spent in this country in idleness.
The long evenings, however, af-
ford considerable opportunity fol
pleasure, reading, social entertain
ments and the like, and the pleasures
they bring compensate in a measure
for the disagreeableness of the
weather. The ecstatic pleasure
which magazine writer's and sleigh
bell poets speak of, in connection
with the merry jingle of the bells
and the glistening of the beautiful
snow, is much better appreciated b,
those who sit by warm hearth ant
read, than by those whose buslnes
compels them to face the northern
blasts.
The cold air and sharp winds, new
ertheless, send the blood whirlin
through the body and bring lif
and exhileration not felt IN tn
warmer months, and those who hav
comfortable clothing and good spun
pass the winter cheerfully.

HEADS OFF.

The president having become con-
WINGED that several government Of
ficers were aiding the Star Reuters,
and opposing those who were prose-
cutting them, dismisses lot of them.
The following from Attorney Gener-
al Brewster shows how he feels in the
matter:
II have never forgotten your in
structions, on my first accepting Of
fee, to pursue this case with vigor
and rigor, so that the innocent should
be acquitted, if clearly innobent;
that the guilty should be punished, if
clearly guilty; and that there must
be no half-hearted sentiment in the
purpose of the government and it's
officers in this prosecution. After
serious and prolonged deliberation
over all the details of the case, my
Investigations satisfied me that the
men who were indicted were guilty
men, and merited the extreme pun
ishment of the law. They had pro-
jected, under cover of official power
and under cover of official authority,
a systematic plan of deliberate rob-
berry of the public treasury. To car
ry out that plan they had laid their
hands upon fund dedicated by law
to a great public service, service
that is conspicuously one of the
fruits and causes of our civilization,
our social comfort, our commercial
prosperity, our national growth.
Millions of that money they pervert-
ed to their own private gain, and di-
vided it for their own personal pur-
poses. 1t was condign act of infa-
nous conspiracy, and as such de-
serves the severest punishment the
law can infiict. Such men are trait
ors to social and official duty, and
they are public enemies, against
whom the authority of the law must
be exerted without hesitation or re-
luctance. The higher their past pc.
sition the greater their sin, and the
sterner must be their punishment.
desire to call your attention to the
fact that the officers of the law an(
those who have directly been aiding
me in the discharge of my duty in thi
business have been from the first en-
circled with snares, pitfalls ant
every species of vile device tina
could be invented to harm them, hin
der their usefulness and prevent tn
administration of justice. Som
portions of this community who sur
round these defendants and VIII,
have enjoyed, or do still enjoy, min
or official positions, know no allegl
ance to any but this band of robbers
! and render no service to any one bu
these evil employers. From motive
of gain or other corrupt considers
tions they are saturated with affini
ties for these bad men, and the
n /
have contributed by every means i

masters, to obstruct public justie
: and to defame its officers with tt

Were a year to begin and get fairly
under wAv without an intimation being
made that Mr.. Tilden is a candidate for

an uneasy suspicion that things are not
running as smoothly as they have been
