The Adirondack Purchase.

1t seems that Samuel f. Villas, resident
OF Plattsburgh, has sold fifty thousand acres
in the heart OF the Adirondacks to lumber
company OF Michigan. The tract is located
in the Paul Smith region and surrounds the
st. Regis and Upper saranac. Tho consid-
Grafton was 100000, and the company en-
poet to get their money back by building a
track to the Ogdensburg and Lake Cham
plain road, and constructing sawmils at var
ious points. A correspondent of the Ogdens-
burg journal says great tracts Of splendid
pine timber will be despoiled the clear
streams choked with slabs and sawdust the
breeding places of the trout polluted, and
every quality destroyed which has given the
North woods their attractivencss and fame.
"lhe Saranac supplies the water power for
many factories and sawmills, and with
lis line wooded watershed has al
ways been relied on, with conf
dence, even in drought like the
present one. The same is true of the upper
Hudson, whose swift waters are studded with
sawmllls, representing large Investments of
capital. What will be the effect when the
great watershed is denuded OF its vegetation,
and subjected to the protracied droughts of
more settled regions, is a practical question
which those interested in may well ask them
selves with apprehension. 1t is said that
Mr. Villas has been willing to part with his
property to the State at about the same price
ior which he has finally sold it; but as he
refused to make job OF it at Albany, and
the State made no offers, he IS, of course,
justified In looking after his own interests
The State, ! hear, already owns large tracts
OF the rough and unstable portions of the
Adirondacks, and needed to buy only few
areas like the Villas property to secure the
whole north woods region"

The Vermont l:reenbnck Party,
From the Providence Journal.I


The Greenback party of Vermont, in its
numerous and eloquent resolutions, adopted
one arraigning the Republican party for claim
ing credit for National prosperity, which is
attributable to bountiiul Providence, a fer
tile country and industrious people and the
inccssant labors of the Giccnback party.
Those who fail to appreciate in This analogue
of National blessings the impoi lance of the
''incessant labors Of the Greenback par
ty" and fail to recall anything but
failure in their most strenuous excrtions,
may be respectfully referred to the
apologize OF the Grccian philosopher and
his conduct in time of National peri.as relat-
ed in Rabelais The city in which he lived be-
ing besicged by u formidable enemy, the
citizens earnestly engaged in Strengthening
the walls, building ramparts, and otherwise
laboring 10 fortify the city for defence In this
stress OF activity andeXertion the philosopher
emerged from the tub, which was his frugal
place Of abode, and tucking up the sleeves
of his gown, commenced TO roll and trundle
ii up and down the streets with many shouts
and such vigorous energy that he was soon
as exhausted as anybody, and sat down to
rest and wipe the perspiralion of honest
labor from his brow. Being approached
while in this condition by one of those busy
bodies who want to know the why and where
fore of everything, and interrogatcd as tothe
reason of his labors, he replied that activ-
ity was the main thing in slch circum-
stances, and that he had accomplished more
In keeping up the spirits OF the community
and tightening its labors with harmless
amusement than if he had been less promin-
emily employed in carrying earth to the walls
or laboring on the ramparts. This credit
is one that can be claimed by the Green
back party. 1t hasn't accomplished, or
even attempted anything for the practica
benefit of the Nation, but it has displayed a
great deal of activity in proportion to lis size,
trundled the empty tub OF theory in the by
ways and highways, and kept up an incess-
ant tumult and vocfcration while others were
at work, so that its "incessant labors," if not
quite equal TO bountlful Providence, a fer
tile country and an industrious people in pro-
ducing the National prosperity Mt least con.
tributed an important share in tightening
its labors with the harmless amusement Of
watching spectacle of ridiculous activity.
In this view, the Greenback convention of
Vermont could properly congratulate itself,
although, as even the funniest spectacles lose
their effect by repetition, there is danger that
the ''inccssant labors" OF the Grecnback par
ty may become wearisomc ind monotonous.

Although the biennial State election of
Vermont is less than three weeks off, and
State officers, Congressman, Legislators and
county officers are to be chosen, the canvass
is one of the quietest ever known in that
State A sweeping Republican victory is a
matter of course. The Democrats have been
ncrvously watching for signs of dissatsfac-
ton in the Republican ranks, because of the
nomination of Judge Poland for Congress,
but see nothing to encourage them, and are
greatly disguised because those who defeated
him once will vote for him now. The most
interest that is awakened grows out of the
discussion of "the new tax law" but this has
been heartily endorsed by the Republican
State convention, and is favored by all cx.
cept the class that escaped taxation under
the former law, and hopes to do SO under
some future law, and will be strengthened
rather than weakened by the next Lcgisla-
ture, rs candidates for that body will be re-
quircd in many places to give pledges to sup
port measures intended to secure that result.

Mrs. Sarah b. Jacobs of Boston has given
to the University of Vermont five thousand
dollars to endow scholarships for the benefit
of graduates of Brigham academy in Bakers
field. Mrs. Jacobs is a sister of the late
Peter Brigham, who endowed tho academy
bearing his name. In addition to many
other liberal donations in aid of the academy,
Mrs. Jacobs contributed Il large part of the
cost of the fine new building erected in 1879.
This latest gift is bestowed in such way
as at once to benefit the academy, the Univer-
sity, and deserving young persons of both
sexes, for the scholarships are open to young
women who may need help in pursuing u
liberal education. 1t is an eminently wise
gilt and may well be initiated by the friends
of other academies in the State.
