The Heron slaughter was tho greates st
railroad accident that ever occurred on the
Northern Pacific, since the commencement
of its construction, and this was the result
of sheer carelessness. That portion of the
road west of the Rockies has been the thea
tire OF several accidents which were the re-
suit of carelessness.

THE New OsBoREE REAPER AND TwINE
BINDER.-On Thursday, of last week, we
had our attention called to the operation of
one of Osbornes new machines for cutting
and binding grain. Mr.. Hanna, whose head
quarters are with A. Quackenbush, took us
to the field of f. Percy, Esq, just across
the Snake river, where machine Just set
up and put In operation was at work.
There was much foul matter mingled with
the wheat, such as mustard, sun flower, and
other weeds. This was found in spots,
while in other pla,e the wheat was stand.
ing free from this mixture We followed the
machine across the field about one fourth of
mile, four times, and we have this to say,
that in no instance before have we seen a
machine that cut and gathered ur
the wheat so clean, and every bundle was
well and firmly bound. Owing to what we
thought to be too short apron, occasional
ly some of the weeds would penetrate
through the revolving canvass and there re-
main and soon clog some of the grain, but
where ever the grain was clean, the machine
worked to charm. The machinery fol
binding and tying is simple, and yet Seems
durable and strong. He informs us that il
a test in Waila Walla, he cut and bound
acres without missing the thorough biodin,
OF single bundle. The Irvine used is quit,
small, and OF great strength. We are no
perhaps sufficiently skilled in machinery I,
fully determine the advantages of this ma
chine, but we do know when the work don,
in the field is well done, and this machin,
does that much, and we suppose that il
what the harvester needs Of good machine
and the Osborne new binder aud reaper fill
that bill

ATTEMPTED RoBBERY.-We have the re-

ed by highwaymen. Exactly at what point
or how they made the attack we have not

lives were demanded by the robbers, to
which they quickly replied: "Take onr lives
but spare our money" and we infer that the
robbers not having as much use for their
lives as for their money concluded to let
them escape

ANOTHER MAN SWALLOWED BY SNAKE
RIVER. While the steamer John Gates was
lying at the wharf boat at Riparia OH her
trip of last week, and being loaded for the
up run Of Monday, an employee, named
John d. Gear, about "a years old. was plac-
ing some boxes Of freight on the river side Of
the forward deck, made misstep and fell
into the river. The splash in the water was
heard by other hands who were at work Oh
the other side of the boat, but supposing
that it was something that had be en- thrown
over board. they paid no attention to it till
they saw bis cap floating down the river,
when upon looking they found that he
had disappeared from where he was at work
and he could not be found He was no
swimmer and the current is supposed to
have sucked his body Immediately under
the boat. Search was diligently made, but
no trace of the body could be found up to
the time of the boats leaving for Lewiston,
Letters found upon his clothes dis
closed the fact that he had mother living
in California. He was to all appearances,
since he had been employed on the boat

reform and demanding that the railways
shall bear their fair share of the state
taxes, was adopted. The party has joined,
for the first time, direct issue with its
opponents on the question of civil service
reform. The week before the democratic
convention denounced the civil service
commission, declaring that its methods
are sham. For the governorship Jona-
than Dixon, judge of the supreme court of
the state, was nominated on the first bal
lot by majority so great as to be SUBJ
stantially unanimous, and which was
made unanimous by the motion and
hearty concurrence of the friends of the
rival candidate. Judge Dixon's candi-
dacy was not premeditated. His name
was not mentioned in connection with the
office until a day or two before the meet
ing of the convention, and the larger part
of the delegates heard of the proposal to
nominate him only after their arrival at
the place of the meeting of the conven-
ton. His signal fitness for the office was
instantly recognized and his nomination
was the hearty and spontaneous tribute of
the people to distinguished merit and to
official and personal purity. The democ-
racy have won in New Jersey at former
elections by small maiorities. The change
of little more than Thousand votes
would have given the state to Garfield in
1880. The Morey letter and the railroad
influence saved the state to the democracy
by narrow margin. The nomination of
Judge Dixon and the quarrels of the de-
mocracy should give the state to the re-
publicans. The democracy is in posses.
sion and they will have and use whatever
advantage there is in this position. There
is fair prospect that New Jersey will be
put on the right track and will be kept
there for the decisive national contest
next year. The action of the Massachu.
sets republicans in the nomination of
Geo. d. Robinson for governor and the ut
terances at their convention gives promise
of goodly and victorious fight against
Butler. In the expressions of political
doctrines, in the choice of men and in the
harmonious and enthusiastic proceedings
at these conventions are seen tokens of
the old time republican unity and success.

Mad River Valley Fair.


The twelfth annual fair OF Mad River Valley
Agricultural Society was held on the usual
ground IN Waitsheld September 18th and 18th,
1885 Inc weather was all that conld be de-
sired, as we had neither rain nor dust Early
on tuesday morning the superintendent were
on the grounds receiving and locating the stock
as IL was driven in, and in nearly all depart
ments the show was fully equal to former rec
orus. Ihere we're seventy-two entries in class
NO. 1, horses, six OF them being pairs, and the
colts, one and two years old, were especially
meritorious. The cattle were all in fine order,
lat and handsome; thirty pairs of oxen and
steers being entered ON the societys books
and the show OF steers three years old was un-
usually good, and the several herds of thor
oughbreds were nearly all well represented
Alfred and +. A Joslyn had ten full blood Jer-
seys, this being the Oldest and largest herd OF
this breed in the valley. n d. House had
seventeen Devons nearly all full blood, cows
large, and last year had record of two hun
bred pounds OF butter each L. X. Joslyn had
nine entries OF thoroughbred Dutch or Ho-
stein breed and were all fine large cattle Cas-
sius nj. Joslyn had the largest oxen ON the
ground, while those of Seth Boyce were the
best matched and might really be called beau
ties, +. II. Buckley had a pair of steers three
years old which weighed twenty-eight hundred
and thlIty-hve pounds. For the credit of the
valley 1t should be added to the record OF steer
calves, that four pairs left town the first day of
the fair which were sold for $685. one pair
bringing $40. In trained steers there was
quite an interesting show, as the large crowd
that gathered around to witness II will prove.

The Nominations.

During the past week three important
republican state conventions have been
held. In New York the proceedings were
characterized by genuine harmony of
feeling, purpose and action. In no act
or utterance was there any trace of the
dissersions which last year gave the cleo
ton to the democrats. The convention
declared in favor of a protective tariff,
gave civil service reform an unqualified
endorsement, and "rejoiced in the wis.
dom and success of President Arthur's
administration of the affairs of govern.
ment." Senator Miller was made perms.
nent chairman of the convention. In his
speech his Characterization of the ira.
ducers OF the memory of the dead Gar
field was received with great and re-
peated applause. He spoke strongly in
favor of such "a system, such plan of
organization as shall induce the people to
come into the primaries and take their
lair share in the management and organ
ization of the party" The cause of the
trouble in New York has been attribu.
table to organization rather than to a diff
ference of principles. A feeling pre-
vailed that the country had outgrown
the processes and systems that had been
used in the primary organizations. To
the end that the people may be more di-
rectly represented in the state conven-
tions, resolution was adopted instruct
ing the state committee to consider the
question OF the reorganization of the party
on broader basis, and, so far as posi-.
BILE, to mature plan to accomplish this
object and submit the result of its labors
to the next state gathering. The present
incumbents of the offices of secretary of
state, comptroller, engineer and attorney.
general were renominated by reclamation.
The office OF treasurer is filled by demo-
crat, and for this position Pliny T. Sex
ton was chosen.
The republicans of New Jersey held a
state convention last week. The contrast
between the proceedings of this body and
OF that which last week nominated Mr.
Albeit is as wide as the difference be-
tween republicanism and democracy. A
platform favoring protective tariff, deal
ing unequivocally in favor of civil service

SOME of the best and most successful
fairs the farmers of Vermont have held,
have been held at Montpelier. There
ought now to exist here, or in the section
of the state of which Montpelier is the
natural center, the chief agricultural or.
ganization of the state. Here and in the
country which centers at Montpelier are
rich, productive farms, fine herds and a
prosperous, well-to-do population. Rail.
ways center here and the natural facilities
are not surpassed by any other locality.
There ought to be organized here an asso-
citation of the farmers and artisans of
Central Vermont, which should hold an
nual exhibitions that should not be sur
passed by any in the state. The recent
alleged state fair at Burlington was sue.
cessful in displays of certain kinds, but
displays for which Vermont, or Vermont
farmers, have no affinity. In what goes to
make up a good agricultural fair the pre-
tentious and liveried state and Champlain
valley amalgamation was outdone by the
modest show over in Mad river valley last
week. The Central Vermont agricultural
association should be organized at this
place, and complete arrangements for a
grand fair next fall.

THE schoolmaster is abroad. The pro-
gramme of the Vermont State Teachers,
Association for the annual meeting in o.
tober is published. The exhortation to
teachers to attend contains the following
rhetorical gem: "Teachers ought not to
miss this gathering of experienced work.
ers for they will gain more helpful sug-
gestions and an educational impetus than
the effort to attend will cost them or their
schools" This is strongly suggestive of
one great defect in the work of the schools,
cultivation of the art of clear, concise
and correct expression of ideas. Gram
mar and rhetoric seem to be taught to lit
tie practical purpose. The former has
degenerated into mechanical skill in
"diagraming," the latter is taught in a
bookish sort of way and both with only
incidental reference to the "art of speak
ing and writing the English language cor
rectly." The order of exercises for this
meeting might proftably be revised, and
at least half day devoted to revival
of the precepts of Lindley Murray.

No State Assessment.

The utterances of those papers which
have been unreasonably belaboring the
corporation tax law have conveyed the
impression that state tax will be assessed
this fall to raise money to pay state ex.
penses. Treasurer Dubois is in receipt
of frequent letters from different sections
of the state, inquiring if there is to be
state tax raised this fall, and if so how
much. The legislature provided in Sec
ton 81 OF the revenue act that "when the
general assembly assesses state or
county tax the amount per capita shall be
stated in the act assessing such tax" The
section goes on to specify in what way
such tax shall be apportioned among the
towns ~hen it has been voted. Unless an
extra session of the legislature is called
for that purpose, no state tax can be
voted till the regular session, year from
this fall. The treasurer is authorized to
borrow all the money he will in all likeli-
hood need for state expenditures, and
there will be no state tax this fall nor un.
til the legislature meets and votes one.
Great concern is felt by papers and indi-
viduals who are trying to discredit the
new law with the people, about the wrong
and injustice that the per capita method
of laying tax will infict upon the small
towns. If it shall turn out that a large
sum will have to be raised by the tax.pay-
ers over and above the amount paid by
the corporations, the per capita method
would undoubtedly bear heavily on GER
tain towns and would work inequitably,
but the prospect is that the amount to be
raised by the state will be small at
the largest, and 80 the hardship" and
the "injustice " will be more matter of
sentiment Than of reality. One assess.
ment under this method, at all events, can
neither impoverish nor produce any appre-
ciable hardship. If the listing law is
administered in good faith, there could be
no serious objection to raising the small
extra amount the state may need directly
upon the grand list, and for this purpose
there could be no adequate cause for re-
storing the outlandish and fraudulent
equalizing boards, or to create any elab-
crate or expensive machinery in it's place.
