tics used by Mr.. Nichols supporters in

promulgating that he is not capable to

FayOrs Hon. E. J. Ormsbee.

Editor Register and JOWRal-The ques-
ton is asked again and again. "Who is
to be our next governor and lieutenant
governor" The day has gone by when
any man will be governor of the State of
Vermont 10 years, as Thomas Chittenden
was; or i years, as Isaac Tichenor was :;
or 8 years. as James Galusha was; or 8
years, as Silas II. Jennison was; or lieu
tenant governor % years as Paul Brig
ham was.
Custom has made law that the COVER
nor shall reside alternately on each side
of the Green Mountains, and that the
mountains shall be the line of demarca-
ton between the governor and lieuten-
ant-5overnOr: hence the east side of the
mountain is entitled to the next governor
and the west side to the lieutenant-gov-
ernor. | think can safely say that
western Vermont cannot select. cannot
point to an ADLER man for lieutenant gov
ernor than Hon. +. j. Ormsbee of Bran
don
Mr.. OrmSbee is a Green Mountain boy,
who was born. brought up and educated
in our midst. He has grown up with the,
people; his candOr, stability, thorough
business habits and sterling integrity
have given him State reputation. He
are worth the making. Mr.. Ormsbee is
equally at home in his office in the social
circle, at the bar, or in the legislative
hall, where his voice has been heard and
his influence felt; and "a few years since
was at home on the battlefield. facing
the rebels. When the rebellion broke
out the Allen Grays volunteered their
services, and under Captain OrnsDee
marched to the front and did gallant ser
vice. Some of the company, including a
brother OF Capt. Ormsbee, sealed their
patriotism with their blood. Capt. Orms-
bee returned with a good war record,
and at once engaged actively in his pro-
fession.
There are only four towns in western
Vermont that excel Brandon either in
population or wealth. It a very intelli-
gent, pubic-spirited, patriotic town, and
has done much for itself and more for
our country; yet it has been passed by
in an official point of view. In a repub-
| lican government there should be no
monopoly. Other things being equal,
there should be something like an equal
distribution of the posts of honor and
responsibility. If there is a town in Rut-
land county, or Addison, that has "a
claim for the lieutenant gOVernorship
that town is Brandon. | think | can
safely say that there is scarcely town
in western Vermont that approaches
Brandon in population and intelligence
but what has been honored TO greater
or less extent, Rutland has had foui
governors, two lieutenant governors

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert A. Fletcher are
rejoicing, as most parents do when son
is born unto them.
We have had great amount of stormy
weather: and when the storms subsidized,
the wind would blow the snow into al
most every place where there was room
for it, the roads receiving their full
share.
Mrs. Olive Fletcher had a hard sick
ness about three years ago, and since
that time has not been able to do much
work about the house. Some portions
of the time she was not able to do any
work of any kind. but when she has been
able to do light work she mas improved
the time, as the following will show {;
During the last three years she has piec-
ed % bed-quits; ten of them contained
l6 blocks in each quilt. and each of the
blocks contained ZIG pieces. Eight of
them were d" log cabin quilts. and three
were what is called the rose" and one
the rejecting star Two of these
quilts she sent to her sister in Illinois;
the rest of them she has given to her
children and grandchildren, except the
two which she retains for her own use.
In addition to the bed-quilts she made a
large number of fancy pn-cushions, each
containing q pieces. HeI health is now
better than usual. Mrs. Fletcher was
born in this town April %, ISIS. She
was daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony
Baker. She married Mr.. Samnel ).
Fletcher of Ripton, April |, 1871, and
has resided in Ripton Il few years. She
also resided a few years in Forestdale;
but most of the time she has resided in
this town. Her husband died few years
since at FOrestdale, where he was at the
time engaged in mercantile business.
She buried two children, who died in in
fancy. and has five sons who have ar
rived to manhood; three of them resid-
ing in Michigan and two of them in this
town. She has made three visits to
Michigan, and it is hoped her health will
be so that she can visit friends there
many more times. 1t is hoped she will
have a memerous posterity to call her
blessed.

ROBERT DIXsoN, an Australian mem
Der of Parliament, told a New York
Tribuue reporter something about his
country's industries the other day. His
ideas on the sheep business are printed
below. He. however, failed to state why
the ports of Australia were closed against
ing in Sidney and Melbourne unsold, it
is hard to see why the ports should be
closed to prevent more getting in; since
if they are not saleable they would not
be shipped there, embargo or no embargo.
Mr.. DiXson said
We bad an aggregate of sheep in Aus
tralasia, including Tasmania and New
Zealand. in 1882, of 76, 493 $50 head. OF
large cattle there were S,429. 44S. The
sheep product goes mostly to England
We have half dozen American buyers
The only wool which comes here is of q
kind which cannot be produced in Amer
lea, 1t is very fine Merino wool
We find as matter of fact that the
American sheep-the Vermont Merino-
does not do with us, nor does the typical
Australian MerinO thrive here. Some
time since American Spectators Sent
over to our side some Vermont sheep
They sold on an average for 81 900
That induced others to 90 over witt
small flocks. But in the meantime
experiments proved these sheep were
not adapted TO Australia, and the
last imports found themselves ou
in the cold. Their sheep are lying
in Melbourne and Sidney unsold. Oul
OWE sheep, of course, bring mucl
higher prices. A stud ram, bred in Tas
mania, was sold in Melbourne for owe
SIS, 900. The yield of wool will be some
thing above the average this year, thi
having been the first fairly good we
season we have had in four years. Tn,
very wool that is taken by American
buyers on our side is wool in the grease
The tariff of the United States operates
to prevent importations of secured wool
The American growers for the most par
grow for a heavy fleece, without mucl
regard to the amount of grease in it
while Australian growers go rather 70
the dry result and look for their return
to the tineness of the wool rather thai
its weight.
