Notice is hereby given that the
Fusion city convention for the city OF

room, on Thursday afternoon, April
I'd, at 2 o'clock, for the purpose OF

The human structure Is wonderful in
mechanism. Each organ has its allotted
part to perform, and none Is more impor-
tant than that for which the kidneys are
designed. 1t is, therefore, imperative that
these should be kept in perfect health, and
then should he jealousy guarded against
the cncroachmcnts of disease. George
Kelly, of Jersey City. writes, "Dr. Stevens
gave me Mishlcr's Herb Bitters while l
was under his treatment for gravel, and
has told me to continue to take It,"

The balance on hand last spring of
uncollected taxes, amounting to ST.
968, will be more than offset by the
1884 Water Co. tax to be refunded !;
the interest on orders and other debts.
1t is therefore evident that if every
cent of taxes had been paid there
would not be sufficient to redeem all
the orders issued. The taxes, how
ever, have not all been paid. The
amount still unpaid is reported at
near $4,000, and, consequently, there
must be that amount of orders out
standing. We regret that the official
financial reports of the city were not
made public so that we could give
them in this issue. The said official
reports will probably be made public
next Saturday, and as election takes
place on Monday, the citizens will
have only Sunday to examine them.
On the LIST of April, bills amount
ing to between $4,000 and $4,000 be-
come due.
The new Council will find about
$4,000 of outstanding orders-about
half of which has an Offset in shape
Of unpaid taxes.

For two years, as Chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations of the
House of Representatives, Mr.. Ran
dali has done all that strong and
honest man can do to keep the expen-
ditures of the government within
proper bounds. 1t has fallen to him,
more than to any other Democrat, to
meet the demand which the people
registered at the polls in November,
1882. after the Forty-seventh Con-
gress-the House of Robson and
Keifer-had stirred the country to
Indignation by its defiant profigacy.
Some members Of the majority in the
last Congress apparently forgot why
they we're sent there; Mr.. Randall
has not at any time, for single day
or hour, lost sight of the special mis-
sion of the majority returned at the
tidal wave election. Other good Dem
ocrats have stood by him for economy
and retrenchment, but it is depriving
these gentlemen of no part of the
great credit due them to say that the
wisdom, firmness, experience, and un-
yielding integrity of Mr.. Randall
have made him the chief representa-
tive in the Forty-eighth House of the
honest policy of reform which brought
the Democrats back to power, and
which alone can keep them in power.

This puts the figures of the late
session in shape to enable us to COM
pare them with the total appropria-
tons of preceding years, in order to
determine how well the majority in
the Forty-eighth Congress has served
the cause of honest and economical
government.
Here then are the totals for the
past four years, covering the history
of the Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth
Congress, and exhibiting in striking
form the difference between Republi-
can corruption and extravaganza with
Hiscock and Secor Robson on deck
and Democratic retrenchmcnt under
the prudent, patriotic leadership of

March, not being included;

According to their own records the
Council appropriated $l,S22'92 more
than they needed for the contingent
fund. Their street fund was over
drawn to the amount of 81 ,36S.63.
Their fire department fund had been
overdrawn to the amount of ST.

remained. Is that good business

delayed by the death of his brother
Justin Rice, which occurred last Mon

Mr.. Sheldon Smith of Addison
says that they had a gelding colt
from Liberty, brown black almost
black, that lived to be almost 80
years old. lie says the gener-
al characteristics of this stock were
that they were very long lived and
nothing could travel with them on the
road. Mr.. Harvey Yale, now present,
substantiates this statement. Mr.
Smith says that their Liberty horse had
a pretty long and rather slim neck. He
says that Mr.. Kingsland (whom he had
just SEEM said that Uncle Jake Smilh
owned the mare that brought Liberty
and sold her to Thomas Kingsland.
The mare was in foal when sold.
Kingsland wanted to kill the colt be-
cause it was mean little thing, but
Uncle Jake said "let it grow" A son
of old Mr.. Kingsland broke this colt
when he was three years old. Mr..
Jake Smith lived the second house
south from Allen Smiths. Mr.. Smith
says that the color of Liberty's stock
vas generally bay, and that he had
great patronage, getting one season
ninety-three colts. lie says that the
next stallion Allen Smith had was
called Pone and was little, tight, snug
built bay horse, that got great many
small tight.built, tough, hardy horses
in the neighborhood. He does not re-
member any large ones. They were
very smart, active horses, He never
heard what was the blood of this horse.
They had sorrel and black from
Pone. lie does not remember any
more blacks or any grays. Mr.. Smith
says the first fair he ever attended was
at Bridport, held at the north end of
the village. When they brought on the
3-yearold colts they wanted Allen
Smith to bring on his and he did. lie
was older than three, but was colt, or
young. Mr.. Smith thinks this fair was
about 1924, and that Pone must there
fore have been foaled about 1920. lie
thinks Mr.. Smith kept Pone 10 years
lie then had a horse called Romeo
which he soon sold West, after which
he had sorrel Morgan horse.
Mr.. NJ. Baker of Brandon, VT,
breeder of Lady Pritchard (2:2D by

Banner was toaled the property of IIar-
rison Knott of Brandon or Pittsford
Vermont, who sold him to l.. b. BIRD

Westcott of Fair Haven, VT, in whose
hands he died not over sixteen years
old. lie states that Lady Pritchard'e

THE MIDDLEBURY REGISTER,

A weekly newspaper published at
$3.50 per year at Middlebury, Vt.
The circulation of this paper has in
creased so rapidly during the last few
months that we now announce that at
the beginning of the New Year it will
appear in new dress and will be in all
respects thoroughly first-class family
paper.
The Horse Department, which was
started one year ago, will be kept up
and enlarged. We intend to give in
this department the most accurate and
comprehensive information on the ped
igrees of trotters and trotting sires. 1t
will continue to be devoted to the in
terests of the Morgan Horse, of which
it is now the recognized organ. The
fullest information will be given on all
stations descended in direct male line
from Justin Morgan, which informa.
ton will eventually be published in
book form.
The REGIsTEB has also undertaken to
expose the frauds in existing trotting
pedigrees, whereby one family has
been built up at the expense of all 9th
ers, which frauds prevail to mucl
greater extent than is generally sup
posed. 1t will be observed that in al
our work on pedigrees the original let
tiers and sources of information ar,
given. We believe that once under
stood, this method will be the only sat
isfactory one to the public. 1t is tn,
only one that ought to be satisfactory

the Harris horse died about 1917, ana
that both the Chison Horse and the
Walker Horse, which have been attri-
buted to him, were got by the Hardness
Horse, a son of the Harris Horse, The
Hardness Horse was gray, l6 hands,
100 lbs, owned by Mr.. Hardness of
Starksboro. The Walker Horse ,gr. h.,
ID Ia hands, 1000 lbs, was bred by
Russell Barton of New Haven the
dam a Morgan mare that he bought of
Luke Ravens, which Mr.. Flint says
could trot like bullet and was by the
Hackett Horse, while Mr.. Brooks thinks
she was by Freeman Wheeler's Nor
gan, son of the IIackett Horse.
The Chilson Horse, or. h., Is - to
16 hands, about 100 lbs, was bred by
Ira Abernethy of New Haven and sold
by him to Oscar Chilson. His dam
was a thick-set bay mare with heavy
breast and shoulder.
We can learn by diligent enquiry Of
no sons of Hambletonian that were
kept stations in this State, sired by
him while he stood as far north as Adj
olson county, except the Hardness
Horse and the Foote Horse of Charlotte;
and from these we have as yet heard OF
no stallion sons except the sons of the

with heavy name and tail, bought Of
an old man named Porter that worked
for the Walker boys at New Haven
Mills. She had colt by her side that
proved the best horse he ever owned
Mr., Hanchett says he castrated True
John at four years old, in 1913. The
date is fixed from the fact that he then
lived on the Lampson farm, which he
bought Nov IS, 1916, as appears by the
town records, and on which he lived
two years only. Mr.. Hanchett says
that True John sired four colts whel
three years old, and more than tha
when four, but he does not remember
how many. Mr.. VIM. Partch of New
Haven thinks he sired in al
