MoRRlSVlLLE AND HYDE PARK,
JANUARY 9th, 1885.

The Baltimore Sun Dem has the
following information "a prominent
Vermont Democrat says the Democ-
racy of that little Commonwealth will
not be exceeded in the vigor of the
wild hunt for Office by the Democracy
of any other State. There are not
many fat federal offices in Vermont.
The Collector of internal revenue gets
only $3.50, the Collector of the port
of Burlington about 81, 500 and there
are perhaps half dozen post-offices
which pay more than 81 900. Meth
err the United States District Attor-
ney nor the United States Marshal
for the State have ever been able to
work their fees up to so much as
$1,000 per annum, but the Vermonter
saws this makes no difference !; that
the clamor for every place down to
the petty post-office that pays So a
wear will be immense and inordinate.
He says that to use the term ravenous
can give but the faintest idea of the
hunger and thirst of the long waiting
Vermont Democracy for the flesh pots.
What makes them more intense in
this matter than their brother Demo
Gratis elsewhere, is, perhaps, to be
found in the fact that they never even
have a chance at the local offices, the

is rolling land, with a good many high
bluffs. The Missouri bottom land is a
perfect level, varying from four to fifteen
miles in width. The bluffs are very alb
rupt next to the bottom, and viewing
these bluffs from a distance they look
like great ocean waves. The land is
drained by many creeks and rivers, but
springs are seldom found. The soil here
is as rich as any in the United States.
Corn is the principal crop, and is usually
worth about % cents bushel. potatoes
