GRAND ISLE COUNTY.
some Notes on Crops and Crop Pros
pectss


The acreage in crops Is about US usual.
Grass, our main crop, is promising. The
cereals, that had the luck 10 get into the
ground have come ont of it with CHEEKY
looks. In South Hero and Grand Isle the
crops relied upon are those Of wheat, oats,
beans, potatoes, corn and apples. As to the
latter, 1t is, or should be, our bearing year,
and the trees, though not as abundantly
blossoming as in 1881, seem TO be donning
considerable gayety of dress. They are just
coming into bloom and their latcness is deem
cd favorable for good crop of apples.
From North Hero Mr.. Il. IIibbard writes /.
"Our town contains, according TO the grand
list, 1000 acres, one-fourth in meadows, one
fourth in plowed land and is sGwed to cereals
such as wheat, rye, oats, and barley the bal
ancc In corn, beans, onions, with little fruit
for sweet cider. The sowed crops present a
fine appearance and promise thus far u fine
crop"
North Hero is splendid farming town.
Its superior can hardly be found at least in
New England. 1t is very beautiful. Much
of its fine culture is due to the skill aud in.
dustry of its inhabitants of Scotch origin.
They are fine farmers, and their example and
success has been great stimulus TO the rest
of the people.
Alburgh is rich town, of great agricul.
tural capacity, and,no doubt will give a good
| account Of itself.
Unless present appearances are dclusivc

Rev. j. W. Bennett of Ncrgennes, Slr.

adding much to the pleasure of the occasion.

The body found drowned in the Winooski
river Wednesday was that of Robert Gray
lie had last been seen at Winoosk, near the
brick church, while going to his boarding
place, Decorra's. on Tuesday evening May
10Th. lie had then been drinking though
not apparently ito excess" since the preced-
ing Friday, and had not been at his work al
Wizards ledge that day because of the light
rain in the morning After that night he
was missed at his boarding house and work,
but no one took 1t upon himself to in
form the authorities On last Tuesday af-
ternoon Ernest Lesarge and Samuel
Richards while fishing in the river
at George w. Sibley's place, some distance
below the railroad bridge on the flats north of
burlington, saw body floating down the
river. They followed 1t till they came upon
Wm Dcvino in boat then the three pulled
the body ashore and notified the Colchester
selectmen. The body was pulled up and de-
composed, but seemed to bear no marks of
violence, and it is believed that while drunk,
on Monday night he tumbled into the river.
In his pocket were found half pound
OF tobacco, a jack-knife and 81
cents. A key in his pocket was found to III,
trunk belonging to the missing Gray, and
at the inquest, yesterday, at Winoosk, by
Justice Hood, the body was positively ident-
flied by several persons as Gray's, After the
inquest the body was buried in the graveyard
near Wizards in School District No. T.
Gray appears to have been a man of 40 or AZ
years, about 8 feet inches high, weighing
perhaps 10 pounds, with coarse, heavy,
bushy whiskers and curly hair, both light
brown, and looking somewhat like a Swede
or German,-a strong robust man.

tax receipt among his effects showed that he
had paid few dollars tax in Albany, N. H.,
in 1880. Although there is a story that he
had previously worked in the mills Mt Wi
nooski he seems to have come to that place
about six weeks ago, John Hardy teslifyng
at the inquest that he had known him about
six weeks, had worked at Wizards ledge
with him three weeks and saw him last on
Tuesday evening two weeks ago. Gray was
described as quiet, pcaceable man, when

The comparatively meagie pay which Yer
mont gives her Supreme Court judges has
long been matter of comment. AS matter
of fact four States pay their judges less
than does ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Louisiana
and Oregon, which pay only $4,000, and
West Virginia, which pays S225O. Three
States pay the same salary as does Yer
mont S25O0)-Georgia, Nebraska and North

salaries than our own State does, the figures
ranging from $2700 in New Hampshire to
$4,000 in California and Massachusetts, and

The Illinois diocesan convention last week
had a brief but lively discussion over a reso-
luton offered byone of themembcrs instruct
Ing the delegates to the next general conven-
ton "to use every proper effort to secure the
amendment of the constitution so that the
words Holy Catholic shall take the place OF
Protestant Episcopal whenever the same
may be used in said constitution" Bishop
McLaren suggested that changing the legal
title of the church was rather serious mat
ter, and the resolution was finally with
drawn.
