The Congregational church at West
Rutland is considerably excited and di
vided over proposition to move the
church editice. The building is situated
on the east side of the "causeway," and
is a long distance out of the village, the
village having grown up and moved away
since it was built many years ago. The
building, which is of brick, needs repair
ing and it is proposed to take it down and
move and rebuild it in the village where it
will be most convenient for those who
live in the village and have to walk TO
church This is greatly opposed by some
who do not desire the old landmark
removed and who think perhaps in twenty
years the situation of the village may
change again SO that the present location
will be better. Parties in interest are
making careful canvass with a veiw to
determine the wishes of the majority.

Thrifty Farm Buildings.

Considerable observation on our own
part has led us to believe that the farmers
in some of our back towns are not as
careful about keeping their buildings and
fences up as they should be, Unpainted
barns and houses and tumble down fences
are by far too numerous. 1t is well some
times TO see ourselves as others see us,
and a writer in last weeks CaIedonian
describes with painful vivacity the impress.
sion which a recent visit to the good
old town of Peacham after the lapse of
several years made upon his mind. We are
afraid that his observation upon Peacham
apply with equal truthfulness to many of
our back towns. This is what he says:
"Peacham is no exception to that gen
eral decline, stagnation and decay which
characterizes the interior and purely
agricultural towns of New England.
Those of us to the "manor born" who
make an occasional pilgrimage to the dear
old town, cannot help noticing that the
wells and brooks and springs are drying
up that many farm houses-once filled
with children, happy, and all alive with
the scenes Of domestic activity-are de.
serted and gone to decay; and that many
fields once cultivated are grown over with
bushes, cedars and slunted pines. There
is not nearly as much wealth in town as
there was forty years ago. and there are
not as many inhabitants as there were
sixty years ago. The number of voters
has been, on the whole, declining for
many years"
"Now all has changed. The glorious
hills and magnificent landscapes remain,
but public spirit and local pride, if any
remain. has been carefully bottled up for
use on some great emergency in the
future. The old academy has lost its
prestige and the great church-alas! is no
longer united and prosperous as of old
What can be done to revive the ancient
prosperity and fame of the town.
What is the cause of all this decayP 1t
cannot be denied that it exists. And yet,
we believe, that farming rightly pursued
is as profitable as ever in Vermont. The
markets are nearer and better than they
were forty years ago. The produce of
the farms can be sold at the door of the
farmhouse as soon rs it is ready The
solution may perhaps be found in the
emigration of the young people, 1t is a
melancholy fact that the youth are scarce
in our back towns. The attractions of the
towns or of the fertile west have taken
them from home, and only the old people
are left. They naturally lose their ambi-
ton and vigor with age and the pride
which at twenty-one they would have
taken in well rainted buildings, trim
grounds and nicely kept fences is gone at
sixty. We believe, however, that the flow
of emigration is about to diminish, and
that Vermont, having for twenty five
years made little advance in population,
will dur ng the next decade experience a
decided advance As the west becomes
settled the chances for rapidly getting
rich become fewer, and Vermont rises to
her proper Importance in comparison
Vita our near markets and remarkable
facilities for transportation the young men
can succeed as we'll in Vermont us any,
where else if thew will only think so

Neighborhood Hostilities.

Last Saturday, Joseph Hatfield and his son
Elijah, living at the head of Central avenue, en-
gagged IN a rumpus with william Rowland and
CHARLES Plannett, neighboring farmers. 1t seems
that the Haffields had forbidden the others to
cross a certain lot, and the collision occurred
upon a disregard of the prohibition. Growing
out of it were several cases before Squire Pease,
in which Joseph Hatfield was fined for drawing
and threatening to use a revolver upon both
Holland and Plannett, and Elijah was fined for
assault and battery upon Rowland.
