Fcrrisburgh.
ID. G.. Meiggs is happy man these
days-a fine baby is what's the matter.
Well. Grin always wanted the best of
everything
The State Reform school boys made
fine show the second day of the fair and
added very much to the attractions of the
day. The parade of the firemen under
Chief Engineer Middlebrook and his as
sistants was another notable feature.
Several prominent gentlemen from
abroad were present at the fair. among
whom were ex-Mayor Hatch, Mine host
Drew, ex-Sheriff l.. A. Drew and d. c.
Barber of Burlington; Ex-Gov. Stewart,
Rufus Wainwright and Darwin Rider of
Middebury, and several others.
Everything passed off pleasantly at the
trotting park, Thursday. and the days
work was finished in good season and no
accidents to chronicle. 1t was universal
ly observed that very little drunkenness
was seen in our city during the fair. and
1t was mainly owing to the w. c. T. u.
having exclusive control of the grounds.
They erected commodious building and
catered to the wants of the multitude
that were present. The bill of fare was
flrst-class and their charges moderate.
The Champlain Valley fair, last week,
was complete success, the receipts
amounting to over 81, 100. The floral and
mechanics hall were nicely decorated and
filled to oyerflowing with nice articles
that the ladies contributed. Prominent
and most admired of the oil paintings
was that placed in the hall by Gen. G.
w. Grandcy, it being a portrait of ex-
Gov. Stewart, painted by that prince of
artists, Jesse Converse of Panton; and
strange to note, there has been no men
ton of it in any of the papers that gave
an account of the fair.
Julius Miller of Ferrisburgh, while
crossing the railroad on Wednesday of
last week, was struck by gravel train
and badly injured. Both his legs were
broken and he received bad cut on the
head. 1t is only scalp wound, however.
He is at the Franklin House, and Moses
Youtt, the veteran nurse, is caring for
him. Drs. Woodbridge and Hopkins at
tended him. 1t is said that the conduc-
tor of the tram warned him not to cross
at that time, but he did not heed his sig
nails to stop. The horse was not injured,
but the wagon was entirely demolished.

Perhaps no other clergyman OF the day
has been so much talked Of recently as the
author Of this little book. His notions
concerning the Bible are, we think, Just
about the same as those Of Rev. {. II. TOY,
ID. d., who resigned a professorship IN the
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary a
few years ago because he did not mold the
same doctrines with his denomination.
Mr.. NEWTON defines his position III Few
words when be says that this whole con-
troversy over the Bible may be summed up
in the question whether the Bible IS God,s
Word or contains Gods word. He holds
the latter opinion.

Whatever the sentiment of the South was
twenty-five years ago, or before that, it is
not now favorable to "iree trade" On
the contrary, stating that sentiment in the
briefest form possible, it favors such a re-
adjustment Of the tariff-the tariff to bear
all the expenses OF Government-as will
compel each citizen to pay according to his
or her wealth. OF course this measure OF
justice can never be reached, and OF course
in the laying OF necessary taxes almost
every one will desire that home manufac-
lures be favored. That is what "tbe
South" at least, wants; and we expect to
see the day when New England will clamor
Tor free trade, to the end that she may buy
In Europe those articles which she cannot
manufacture in competition with the South.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson some time ago told
the cotton-manufacturers OF New England
that they needed "protectiOn 4" against the
south more than against Old England.

The Washington Post istrying to induce
General MAHoSE's Washington organ to
retract the following insulting reference Ia
Mr.. JEFFERSON DAvIs's recent remark al.
luding to the memory Of ALBERT SIDNEY
JOHNSTON. The Republican said
"To ycnerate his memory Is to prolonp
his treason down 10 date and criminate
with him all those who do il, and who
are none the less contemptibly disloyal &c
their country because, unlike him, they
are In no danger Of paying for their dis.
loyalty with their lives"
That paragraph was written, we sup.
pose, by Mr.. FRANK HArroN, the Stalwart.
The southern man who should thus en-.
deavor to stir up the passions OF his people
would be denounced by the same FRANK
HArToN as an unrepentant rebel.

will leave the White House and the De
