General Villas has hon.
ored our county by comforting upon
7. j. Boynton, Esq, of Johnson, the
Office of Post-Office Examiner, a posi-
ton until recently held by the Hon.
Geo. H. Bigelow of Burlington. Mr..
Boynton is a man of good, natural
ability, is well read attorney, is hon.
est, his habits are good, and there is
no reason that we are aware of why he
cannot fill the position with credit to
himself and honor to the postal SER
vice. We commend the Postmaster
General for the entirely clean and en-
inently reputable appointments that he
has thus far made in Vermont. The
appointment of Morillo Noyes, Esq.
to the position of Superintendent o
P. 0. Supplies, was one eminently fiji
to be made. If he continues to exer-
else the same measure of sound judg.
ment in his future selections Lamoille
will have still further grounds to be
justly proud of the fact that he sprang
from stock born, bred and matured
within her borders.

General Logan.

The Grand Army Boys have re-
turned from their monster gathering at
Portland. They report an excellent
time, and it is not at all strange that
they bring home with them many pleas
ant recollectfons. 1t would seem from
conversation with them that Gen. Lo-
gan was the grand favorite of the day.
And well he may be. The General
carried himself magnifcently during
the last campaign, and his gallant fight
for the U. S. Senatorship, fought with
out lowering his integrity or his Re-
publicanism one iota, has brought him
prominently before the public, and the
universal verdict is that he is an hon.
est, able and patriotic man. He was
a gallant soldier and the Boys in Blue
love him. He touched a most tender
chord in the hearts of the assembled
veterans when he spoke of the noble
old leader of Appomatox. His re-
marks were brief and so good withal
that we give our readers that portion
of them referring to Gen. Grant.
When introduced the entire audience
greeted him with enthusiastic and long
continued cheers. The applause would
die away for moment, only to be re-
newed, and finally eliminated in three
hearty cheers. He said =
Mr.. Commander, Comrades, Ladies
and Gentlemen While we are assem-
bled here tonight in this beautiful city,
surrounded as we are by friends, who
meet US cheerily and greet us kindly,
we cannot but allow our minds to wan
der away from here momentarily, at
least, to where the old commander,
gTander than all, suffers with a disease
that has brought him to the very verge
of the grave. In my judgment time has
not given to any people grander COM
mander OF men. greater director of
forces, more magnificent campaigner,
[applausel man with more ability to
execute, than u. S. Grant. Applause. I
For this country he has done as much as
any other country. Great applause. !
No matter what may have been said, no
matter how aspersed by those who de-
spised. he has passed up and beyond all
the clouds that have surrounded him,
and his character shines out to-day be-
fore the civilized world as bright as the
brightest star that decks the heavens.
[Applause.l believe there is not citi-
zen in the United States of America that
does not sympathize with his misfortune
and suffering now, and it is the prayer of
disposes all things, will permit this
grand old man to live on as one of the
citizens of this grand Republic. For
MN can say no more, than that when
he passes away this country and ciyiliza-
ton will lose one of the greatest sup
porters of liberty that ever lived, and one
OF the grandest citizens that ever died

HayIng.

/
Every farmer is supposed to know
all about haying; but as we never
knew one that was not ready to ask
questions some time during the sea-
son, we give few hints from the
Mirror and Farmer, hoping they will
touch some cases "Make hay while
the sun shines" is an old and good
rule, but TO do this it is not necessary
to do the moving in the hot sun; es-
pecially in thin grass and when there
are frequent dull, cloudy days. Thin
grass moved when it is wet will not
injure till it willis, and then it can be
raked and put up. Do not wait for
all the grass to get its growth before
you commence cutting. When the
best grass is ready, cut it, if the
weather is good, and let the thin grass
wait; the loss will be less. If you
have any haying to do in dog-days
watch the weather at night, and if it
looks fair, never stop for fog the next
morning. Rake the hay early in the
afternoon. If it is punched up with
the heat of the sun in it, it will be
dryer than if it laid till night. When
handled in dry air it dries very fast;
and when the air is damp the hay
partakes of the moisture. Open the
punches in the morning as soon as
the dew is off, so that larger sur
face will be exposed to the sun. In
this way it may be sufficiently dried
without scorching so as to break
while handling, as it does when ham
died over in the hot part of the day.
If hay has to stand out through a
spell of dull cloudy weather, take
some time when the sun shines and
build the punches over by putting the
top lock Oh the ground and then the
next, and let it be as light as possible,
and it will dry off faster and still be
ready for rain. Be sure that the
first hay you put in is dry enough, Or
it may heat the whole NOW. 1t bet
ter get wet in the field than mold in
the barn. Clover hay will keep in
the barn when it it is dry enough so
the bark on the stalks cannot be
slipped off with the thumb nail. About
sailing hay there is great difference
of opinion. If the hay is dry enough
to keep without, salt will not hurt 1t,
but packing damp hay in salt is
questionable policy.

General Logan looks at the civil
service professions Of the administers
ton in this way: "Every Republican
who asks to be retained by this adj
ministration will be turned out of of
flee. / have received letter after let
ter from Republicans in Office urging
me to exert myself to have them re-
tanned. / shall not humiliate myself
in that way would rather help to
get Republicans of that sort out; in
fact it Is strange to me that a Repub-
lican would ask Democratic admin
istration to keep him in Office" This
is the sturdy, old fashioned view OF
the matter as taught by Jackson and
believed in by all good Democrats
from that day to this. All these pro-
LESSONS of regard for the civil service
laws are the merest humbug, adopted
only to blind the eyes of the mug
wump allies for the time being.
Cleveland's phrase "offensive parti-
sanship" is the happiest that could be
devised as a cover under which to
turn all Republicans out. 1t is as
elastic as rubber and may mean some
thing or nothing, as occasion de-
mands, and nine times out of ten the
Democratic partisan appointed to of
fee is vastly more ''offensive" than
the Republican turned out. We
should much prefer to have the admin
istration go ahead, staying right and
left, and calling it by its right name.

AMERICAN PROTEsTANTISM.-

AMERICAN PRoTEsTANTIsM.- -Ac-
cording to the Methodist year book
for 1885, the statistics Of member
ship in the different Protestant de-
nominations are as follows: Metho-
dists, 25,S39 ministers, 1898, 724
members :; Baptists, 10, 246 ministers,
2,552,199 members; Presbyterians,
1898 ministers, 1902, O44 members

gationalists, 1928 ministers, 387 ,619
members :; Episcopalians, $3.50 min
listers, 313, 1889 members. 1t will thus
be seen that the Methodists and Bap-
fists are far ahead of the other bodies,
and that while the Presbyterians are
more than twice larger than the Luz
therans, Congregationalists, Disciples
of Christ or Episcopalians, the Meth
odist numbers are double those of the
Presbyterians.

The Orchard,

If trees or small fruits are to be
planted next spring, decide upon
kinds, where they are to be bought,
and order early.
Potash on grape vines has been
tried with groanncsss, especially on
light soils. 1t is said to promote the
thrift of the vines and largely increase
the yield of the crop.
Starvation and neglect are the
great causes of unfruitfu!ness on the
part of our orchards the last few
years. Feed them and care for them
and they will bear as abundant as
ever.
Small fruit raising for market may
not pay many farmers situated incon-
veniently to markets. but every man
who owns an acre of land should
raise sufficient for his own family use.
One of the chief lacks in stone
fruits is potash in the soil. This is
especially true of peaches, which are
supposed to do better on sandy soils,
where potash is usually deficient.
Liberal dressings with wood ashes or
muriate Of potash are a preventative
of, if not a remedy for, the yellows.
Heavy rains, often with cold wealth
er, usually come at the time fruit
trees are in blossom. These rains
wash the pollen and prevent proper
setting of the fruit. But as nearly all
trees put forth many more blossoms
than they could mature in fruit, this
destruction is no disadvantage. When
trees blossom and set fruit through a
dry time unless it is severely thinned,
much will be worth little or nothing.
At meeting of the Maine board of
agriculture at Hampden, Secretary
Gilbert said that the prices paid for
fruit last year were extremely low,
and vet there was satisfaction in
having our trees loaded down with
luscious fruit. He had no

June; ice was formed to the thickness
