Jewett, Fairbanks & Stevens, who
bought 1000 acres of timber land in East
Haven are extensively engaged in logging
this season. The boss of the workmen is
Joseph Couchee of st. Johnsbury, who
has contracted to get, in $500, 900 feet
this winter, and has 80 men, II horses
and IL oxen in the woods, delivering the
logs at site where the company are
building a mill, two miles above the Bug
by Follensby mill in CRANKY. The new
railroad now building from North Con-
cord up the Moose river is to be complet-
ed next summer to point within two
miles of this MILL This road is destined
to open up large lumber business in
Moose River Valley, and will make large
manufacturers of many who are now op-
Grating in one horse way.
Clarence Heath of Cabot, while at work
in what is known as ''the new discovery
in Marshfield, put load on his sled which
his horse was entirely incapable of draw
ing, wbereupon it is said he beat the ami
NAL with stick Of wood until one side
was complete jelly. 1t finally fell from
exhaustion, and the brute of man left
the poor horse lying there in the road all
night, one of the coolest nights this win
ter. In the morning it was still alive, but
frozen nearly to death He then drew it
by the neck over rough and stony pasture
land, and finally, when he could devise no
means of torturing it more, put an end to
its suffering. This cruel man has other
horses that are alleged to be nearly starv-
ed, and yet expected to do the work of
good strong horses. Is he to go ON in
this way? Has not Vermont Bergh
somewhere?

The adoption of the postal savings
bank project would be a decided adj
vantage in some parts of the country
where there are no savings banks,
and the advocates of the measure cite
in it's behalf it's favorable workings
in England, Canada, Belgium, Italy
and France. 1t is not a good plan
for the government to undertake to
do what can just as well or better be
done by the people themselves, but
if the claims of the advocates of this
measure in regard to it's encourage
ment of habits of industry and thrift
can be sustained they will make out
quite strong case upon the side of
having the government 90 into the
savings bank business. The bill is
likely to have strong support in
congress, and the present indications
are favorable to it's adoption, al
though it will be opposed by the saw
ings bank interest and on the abstract
principle that the government had
better let banking alone.

HOW CONGRESSMAN VOTE ON
POLYGAMY AND ITEM
PERANCE.

''Perley,'' in his dispatches to the
Journal, thus speaks of the voting on
the two important things that are ag-
itating public opinion:
Following the call of states for
bills and resolutions, Representative
Burrows of Michigan, who has for
several weeks been waiting for an
opportunity to introduce his bill to
disqualify polygamists from eligibili-
ty to membership as delegates from
the territories, called it up under the
suspension of. the rules, and the
house, much to his surprise, appar-
eutly, passed it without a dissenting
voice. There was not word Of OPP
position to it, and not even call for
a second, which was in order, but the
measure did not receive a solitary
democratic vote. The cages were
called for, and unanimous response
came from the republican side, but
when the negative votes were called
for there was silence. The speaker
waited moment for a response, and
then announced the bill as passed.
The republican side broke forth in
applause, the democrats remaining
silent, and the motion to pass the
bill was reconsidered without opposi-
| ton.
The important piece of work of the
day, however, was the defeat of the
bill providing for a commission on
the alcoholic liquor traffic. 1t was
reported to the house by Representa-
tive Joyce of Vermont, from the Sc
lect committee appointed to consider
that subject, and was antagonized at
once by the democratic side. Joyce
moved to suspend the rules and pass
the bill, which could be done by a
two-thirds affirmative vote. Bragg
of Wisconsin demanded a second,
which was ordered by vote of u to
60, Vance being the only democrat
who voted in the affirmative. Nei-
ther side cared to argue the question.
apparently, and it went to vote
without a word being said on either
side, and was defeated by 112 yeas
to SO nays, two-thirds being required
to suspend the rules. Of the 112 af.
firmative votes but two were cast by
Democrats, Vance and Beltzhoove1
being the exceptions on that side OF
: the house. Of the 83 not voting, sc
were absent with leave and paired
and the others either lodged a vote
or were absent without leave. Sew
eral of the ladies of the Women
= National Temperance Union were
present in the galleries of the hous'
, while vote was being taken on tn,

American continent. This was not a
suggestion that deserved censure, but
should merit appreciation. When the
"true inwardness' of the matter
comes to be seen, it will doubtless
appear, that all this criticism is in
tended on the part of Mr.. Blaine's
rivals, and his inveterate enemies,
Conkling and Grant, to do him harm,
should he ever again come up as a
presidential nominee. So the big
papers and the little papers, controll-
ed or influenced by the numerous per-
sons who hope to get a nomination
for president in 1884, with the Conk-
ling tribe, are all berating Mr..
Blaine; and so all the big dogs and
all the puppies owned by the parties
named, have settled back on their
launches and are bowling against
the ex-secretary. This may have
some influence for time, but when
the matter comes to be fully under
stood, and it comes to be known how
little cause there is for all this
hullabaloo, there will be reaction
that will result in Mr.. Blaine's favor.
If he could be killed off or shelved,
there are about a dozen would-be-
candidates, who would breathe much
freer. In the meantime there are
several million voters in the country
who cannot see why Mr.. Blaine is
not as fit and worthy man for pres
ident, as would be any of those who
are now mournfully anxious to act
as pail bearers in his political funeral.

From all accounts there seems to
be no question that Mrs. Abraham
Lincoln is afflicted with an hallucina-
ton in regard to money matters, and
labors under a fear that she may
come to want, Notwithstanding she
has 5000 in AZ per cent govern
ment bonds, and has had a pension
of $4,000 a year since Mr.. Lincoln's
death. In addition to this, Congress
has recently granted her a gratuity
of SIS, 700 and increased her pension
to $4,000 year. His mothers state
of mind is a source of great trial and
modification to her son, Robert, Sec
rotary of War, who would cheerfully
supply all his mothers wants were

Mormon delegate Cannon thinks
that Mr.. Burroughs bill relating to

his case, even if the senate passes
the bill. He doesn't think the sem
ate will pass the bill and he evident

very heavy anti-polygamy shower
any way. Mr.. Cannon under-est
mates at once the public interest and
the public indignation in regard to
this polygamous blot upon our Amer

ed States have never been so dead in
earnest on this question as they are
now and congress must either take
some definite or decisive action OF

Congress has not met in vain.
Both branches have finally agreed in
the passage of "the white faced
steers BILL" This bill has been be-
fore Congress for ten years or SO,
and was acted upon by the House in
the 45th Congress and by the Senate
in the 46th Congress. Now both
House and Senate have acted upon
it at the same session and we hope
President Arthur will sign it as soon
as possible. This bill for claim of
$50 arose from the seizure by GUS
toms inspector in August 1870 of a
pair of white-faced steers that Sid
dey P. Luther had bought in Canada
to drive into New Hampshire. The
customs inspector thought they had
been struggled or undervalued, but
Mr.. Luther proved that he had paid
the duties and that there was no
cause of forfeiture. After spending
at least $1,000 worth of time upon
the bill it has gone through, and if
Mr.. Luther lives long enough he will
probably get his sS5.

of the highest Importance, which no.

which no other senator could so well
perform, even if he should try. Mr..
