Eloping Mrs, Smith.

The free-love atmosphere which pervades
that modern Sodom, Chicago, has attracted
thence the professional masher, Mr.. Charles
Harris, of Cincinnati, and his weak mistress,
Mrs. Dan p Smith, the wife of the well known
livery man. The woman's trunks have been at
the Grand Pacific hoteLin Chicago several DAYS
and for that reason Mr.. Harris and Mrs. Smith
are supposed to be there also. The bereaved

they believe Mrs. Smith insane.

Street Sprinkling.
Editors Herald:


Yesterday my attention was
called to the fact the proposition to
water the streets with sprinkling
carts, was of such a nature as to
exclude the use Of the present
method.
When | first heard of the sprink-
ling CARTS. l imagined that they
were mere auxiliaries, because it
was generally understood that the
morning sprinkling by the f1remen
was insufficient.
NOW let US look at the effect of
doing away with the firemen as
sprlnklers. OF course we have no
paid fire department., and about all
the revenue going TO the depart
ment was the sum subscribed for
sprinkling the streets. The effect
OF this sprlnkling has been to gather
at the Flremens Hall, from six to
ten hremen, who have almost made
that place their home, and as they
were efficient hremen, we have had
some assurance of assistance in case
OF demand. The change in the me-
thod of sprinkling, will have the
effect OF depriYing these men of the
slender income from this source,
and therefore to practically weaken
the efficiency of the service.
am informed that the reason of
the failure to give satisfaction in
regard to sprinkllng was the insult
ticiency of the amount subscribed.
An advance of about fifty per cent
in the sums paid by the residents of
the districts sprinkled, would have
enabled the fremen to sprinkle the
streets twice a day, and then the
whole sprinkling business would
have been success.
Is it too late to reconsider this
matter? If not, l should like to see
the fIemen encouraged.
1t will certainly cost as much to
get good service from sprinkling
cart, as the amount necessary to
pay the firemen and thereby secure
the services of a body of active fire
men. who by the new arrangement
must be driven away or paid from
other sOuces.
AS long as our fire department
is unpaid, and there is any kind of
chance to place little cash in the
hands of the boys, am in favor of
doing it.
l hope that it is not too late to
put this matter on proper footing.
a FRIEND OF THE RED SHIRTS.

Deserted Farms in Vermont.

Vermont fairs show better butter and
cheese, better cattle and sheep, than
they did forty years ago, but the farm
ers' teams do not stand for as good
horse-stock as they did then; there are
fewer farms we suspect in Vermont;
there are as many deserted farms and
decayed towns in Southern Vermont to-
day as there ever were in our history;
at least that is the testimony given us
by very intelligent farm-bred LAWYER
who has recently personally visited the
towns that touch either side of the
Green Mountains from the Massachu-
sets line to Addison County. In STRAIT
ton, where Webster in 1910 addressed
the great Wing mass-meeting, the farm
house where Webster spent the night is
ruin and the farm deserted. In the
woodland you meet the ruins of old four
foot stone-walls; in Somerset you find
in the forest stone-Walls and the re-
mains of an old highway; the decaying
abutments of a former bridge across the
stream are all that remain of the ciYili-
cation that was once represented by a
church, a grist-mill and country store.
The woodland has so encroached upon
these deserted farms that our friend is
confident there is more woodland to-
day in the mountain towns of Vernon
than there has been at any time during
the last forty years. In the old coun-
ties of Bennington, Windham, Windsor
and Rutland our informant found, he
assures us, plenty of evidence of de-
serted farms and decaying towns along
either side of the mountain range, and
these deserted farms are not being re-
occupied by any returning wanderer, al
though most of these towns are places
