Bradley Barlow is reported as saying
that he felt pretty sure the depOsitors OF
the Vermont National Bank would be Sc
cure. When asked regarding the Trust
Company, he said he did not care to state.
There are complaints in Montreal be-
cause Barlow does not assume his place
there as President of the South Eastern
road while negotiations are progressing
| Railroad men state that the Canadian Pa
citic desires nothing of the South East
ern but what is due. But they are, how
ever, interposing every possible obstacle
to prevent the sale of the road to the
New Y DIRK syndicate. There are no new
| developments regarding the Trust Com,
pany. President Braiuerd returned from
New Y DIRK Saturday night.
Reports from Montreal and points on
the South Eastern railway seem to indi.
| cate that an endless intrigue has been be-
gun by creditors for the possession OF
Mr.. BarlOw's estate, and that the out
come will be interminabIe and extensive
litigation. \ number of attachments
have already been put on the railroad
property, bonds and stock of both the
South Eastern and Montreal. Portland
and Boston roads. At Montreal three
attachments have been made, two being
on all Mr.. BarlOw's stock in the South
| Eastern and Montreal. Portland and BOs-
ton railway. Creditors residing in the
States are also moving to secure them
selves. 1t is said that eight locomotives
have already been siezed on the road be-
| tween Newport and Richford, to satisfy
the claims of various parties against Mr.
Barlow and his company.

AGRICULTURAL Notes.

Sheep at this season are much
troubled with the gad-fy, which lays
eggs in their nostriIs, and these hatch
ing out cause the grub in the head.
Earring the noses is said to be a good
preventive. 1t may be done by Civ
ing salt to sheep in a narrow dish
that has tar smeared on its sides, or
compelling them to lick their salt
through a tarred ring barely wide
enough to admit the nose.
If the leading shoots of bearing
trees are pinched during summer, it
will induce the formation Of fruit
buds and greater fruitfulness the fol-
lowing season.
Where crops are planted in drills
with rows each way, it is often an adj
vantage to cultivate diagOnalIy after
the field has been gone through the
other way. The teeth must be set
narrower, as the width between the
hills is less, but with straight rows
and skillful handling, the labor of
keeping the crop free from weeds is
much lessened.
Farmers, whose heavy work is over,
should now take breathing spell, and
with their families, go off on a yaca-
ton. The change they need, and it
will result benefcially to them. Do
not think you cannot afford it; you
can ill-atfOrd not to take Il respite.
Pyrethrum is well spoken Of as an
insect powder. 1t is cheap, said to
he poisonous only to insects and very
etfectual. At the experiment station
at Amherst they mix q tablespoonful
of the insect powder in pailful of
equal parts Of water and buttermilk,
and sprinkle it on currants, potatoes,
or other plants infested with bugs or
worms, The buttermiIk makes the
powder stick to the plant, and in
about half an hour the insect gets n
good mouthful Of it. curls, drops to
the ground and dies. Should it prove
efectual against the rose bug on grape
vines, pyIethrum will certainly be a
blessing. The plant is easily grown
in gardens.

POLITICAL.

Smith NJ. Weed gives the interest
ing and accurate information in q
careful interview, that Mr.. Tilden
gave $4,000 to the Democratic cam
paign fund in 1880.
The prohibitionists of Ohio have
adopted resolution to observe the
second Tuesday in each month as a
day of fasting and prayer until after
the fall election.
Republicans of Wisconsin will pre-
sent the name of Governor Fairchild
for the Republican nomination fol-
President.
1t is said that the Democratic man
ayers in Ohio are very fearful that
their candidate, Mr.. Hoadly, will get
himself involved in Joint debate
with Foraker. The latter has ex.
pressed a willingness to join such q
debate, but the Democratic managers
declare that they will not pay any at.
tentiOn to anything but a challenge o.
the Republican State Committee.
The Democratic declaration on the
tariff should be, according to Mr.
Pulitzer, of St. Louis ana New York
such as will ''give us all the field nee,
essary to prance around in" To at.
tain this happy end, the World anG
POSt-Djspatch'S editor thinks that all
that is necessary is to strike the WORD
''Only" from Watterson's tariff from
revenue only" France around" is
good.
Republican journals will do we'll to
clip some of the hostile criticisms OF
Democrats now being bestowed upon
Mr.. Iilden. They will be useful in
the event Of his nomination in 1884.
President Arthur has overcome
some prejudices since his accession to
office. He has shown capacity to
learn, which is always a great merit
in public man. Some of his APP
pointments are greatly open to criti-
cism, and the treatment of Mr.. Burt
in New York cannot be defended.
But the President has given the cOun-
try safe and prudent, which is, per
haps, better than brilliant admins

Why the Republicans Must Go.

An esteemed contemporary calls
the SUMS attention to few reasons,
which it seems to have overlooked,
why The Republicans must go.
They are worthy of studious consid-
Grafton, not only by the able editors
of the Sun, and other Democratic or
gans, but by the crest of mankind :
The public credit was never higher
The Republican party must go.
No national debt was ever paid OF
faster-The Republican party must
go.
The currency of the nation was
never in a sounder shape-The Re-
publican party must 60.
Manufactures have never before
been more extended than under Re-
publican protection-The Republican
party must go.
The Federal revenue was never col,
lected with less cOst-The Republ-
can party must go.
The per cent. of loss by official de,
falcation for the last ten years has
been less than under any Democratic
President from jackson to Buchanan
The Republican party must go.
A Republican House in the last two
years reduced the burden Of Federal
taxation four fold more than the Dem
Ocratic majorIties extending over SIX
years-The Republican party must 60
The Republican majority in Con-
gress has passed law which makes
merit the test of admission to the pub,
lie service-The Republican party
must 90.

Another FooIhardy Man.

The fOolhardy men do not seem to
be disheartened by the fate of Cap
tain Webb. The man who wishes to
attempt what Webb failed to accom-
plish is Capt. j. ID. Rhodes, of Sala-
manaca, \. y, a swimmer Of some
note, having life preserving armor
patented by himself, and who in 1877
dove from a staging a hundred feet
high near the ferry landing of the Nj
agara river. lie wrote to Supcrin-
tendent Nelson, of Prospect Park,
Niagara Falls, that he will use his
armor and give 81 900 to swim the
rapids and whirlpool any time between
September and November %. lie
desired TO make an arrangement with
the Park company, offering to deposit
81 900 with it as security. Mr.. Neil
son wrote declining to be a party in
the attempt. Rhodes replied that he
should 90 to the falls, and if the au-
thorites would not give him opportu-
nifty, he would cross to the Canadian
side from Capt. Webb's starting point
and show to the world that his life
saving armor will allow him to accom-
plish the feat. lie disclaims any
thirst for notoric'y or money, and
says that his purpose is to demon
strate that his armor will, with his adj
ditional strength, carry him safely
through He says that before next
Monday he will 90 to the falls, make
his points and carry ont his plans.
The fact that an oil barrel, half filled
with water, and then headed tight and
decorated with flags, went safely
through the rapids Saturday morning
of last week and at no time was it en-
tircly submerged, would seem to sup
port his theory.

The Coming State.

The next session of Congress will
find new State asking for recogni-
ton under the name of Dakota,
though it will not comprise the whole
OF the Territory, 50 called, but only
its southern portion, lying below the
10th parallel. The State is already
in substantial agreement as TO its con-
sttutiOn, and became so through the
most intelligent and truly American
procedure, that Of systematic popular
discussion. \ constitutional asso-
citation" was organized two years ago,
and speedily had branches in every
town in south Dakota, wherein the
principal points of the constitution of
the future State were debated and de-
cided. The extension Of the New
England township system, the adop-
ton of a uniform school system, the
security of the school fund arising
from the sale Of public lands, the
policy Of the prohibition of LIQUOR
these were all canvassed and substan-
TALLY settled. A year ago the cOnsti-
tutional association had convention
at Canton, formulated its principles,
memorialized Congress concerning the
school lands, and appointed commit
tee which has now called a regular
constitutional convention, to meet at
Sioux Falls, September i. The pro-
posed State has now, it is estimated,
about 1870, 900 inhabitants, and will
have 10000 more by January /. The

the people will ratify it and elect State
