THE SHEEP suEARING AT MIDDLE

Second Day-Prominent Exhibitors Rep
resented-SoIne Record of the Fleeces.
Wednesday, the second day of the sheep
shearing at Middlebury, was one of brisk
work. a large additional number of
sheep were in the house, and the exhibit
was called by good judges a splendid one.
Many visitors were present during the day
and the amount of interest shown in the
sheep and the steering by the public in
general is something surprising.
The following are the principle breeders
whose fiocks are represented here. G.. p.

sheep men were not represented this year,
but nearly all of the most prominent
breeders in the State were present at the
sheal'ing during the day and the large
sheep house was thronged most of the
time from morning tlll night.
a good number OF ShedrerS were put to
work in the morning and kept at it all day,
fleeceS being taken of as fast as possible
when good work is desired. 1t may be
that no sheep this year will beat the best
individual record of the previous shear
ings, but it is already apparent that the
averages to be made this year will be con-
siderably ahead OF any heretofore made
The officers of the association already de-
clare the meeting Il very successful one
and are much please, at the prospect for
au excellent showing.

sentatives here, has offered priscs for each

A Narrow Escape.

A loaded team was going up Pearl street
Wednesday night about & o. clock and when
midway between Willard and William
streets the driver was started to see the
street cave in but few feet behind his
load, leaving nearly circular hole, ten or
twelve feet in diameter. 1t proved to be the
result of an extensive washout about eight
foot deep, nearly as wide as the roadway.
and as near as could be ascertained, sew
e~al rods in length. As yet it is uncer-
tain whether the washout was caused by
the breaking of the water or sewer pipe.
The shell of earth that remains around the
cavity is not foot in thickness and it CON
tinues to cave at rapid rate. A large
number of teams had passed over the.spot
but short time previous and their es-
cape was fortunate.

OBITUARY..
James j. Noble.

James j. Noble, Esq of Hyde Park, H.,
died at his home in that place, March "A,
lsS5. He was a native of RoyaltOn, VT,
and graduate of the University of Yer
mont in 1855, among his classmates being
Judge Thomas S. Buckham, b. f. Fiiield,
Esq, Rev Dr. G. S Goodell, Rev. NJ p.
Parmelee, Judge II. II. Powers, Norman
Williams, and Rev. Austin Hazen. He
studied law in the Albany law school, and
for twenty odd years has been practicing
lawyer in Chicago as Il member of the law
firms of Hubbard, Rich a. Noble, and
Rich, Noble g. Stone.
An appreciative and well written notice
of him in the Hyde Park Hcrdld, says
\ grave, silent administrative man,
he made no effort to attract or please.
His manner had much of the stern reserve
of the old New England Puritanism,
professions of friendship, and had IA scorn
of pretense and aifectation which he took
no care to conceal. Natures like his are
never really known to many. But even
those whose relations with him were of
the slightest, were impressed with il sense
Of his strict integrity and justice, His
clearness of mind, his precise and accurate
methods, his wise and cOn,derute care of
the interests committed to him, and his
ialthtulness to trust, were well known
to many who were accustomed to depend
upon him for advice and counsel.
The friends who have been bound to him
by strong ties for Il quarter of a century
cannot easily express what they have lost
in his death. The cynical manner dis
guised Il loyal heart, and under his habit
ual grave sternness, though rarely be
trayed, was Il keen and genial humor.
Win a manner guarded against any
display of the tenderer emotions, he was
yet to the weak and dependent, most
tender and sympathetic to the friends in
whose chosen society he relaxed the re-
serve of his nature he was cheerful and
responsive companion to the inner circle
of those dearest to him he was devoted,
faithful, loving and helpful. He was SO
strong and steadfast that many leaned on
him, and his death, so sudden and I'M
looked for, finds them bewildered and dis
mayed.
! As in all other things, he was silent and

Fourth Annual sheep Shearing at Middle
bury.

The fourth annual public shearing of
the Vermont Merino Sheep Shear
ing Association began at Middlebury
on Tuesday, Owing to the extreme
ly bad condition Of the roads the sheep
did not get in very rapidly, but be-
fore night il was officially estimated
that there were more sheep present than
had been the case on the first day Of any
previous shearing There We're about one
hundred sheep in the pens. The sheep
present represent the best wool-bearers of
many Of the finest flocks in the State.
Some twenty flocks were represented, but
there was a noticeable absence of repre-
sentatiOn of the ilocks of some of the
prominent breeders, who have always had
sheep here before. BUTT is expected that
many of the absentees will be on hand la
ter, as there seems to he II growing disin-
clination to bring sheep here and keep
them in town for three days, many con
sidering that two days are enough.

Chnnsos in American Vegetation.

Kansas Cor. Germantown TrO rraph.l
It has beon truly said that the dogroe of
civilization Of country can be correctly
measured by the vegetation Us we'll as by
tho character Of tho inhabitants of that
country. As proof Of this, we have but to
consider and take into account the changes
that have taken place in the He-tduIing the
last thirty years. Thirty years ago the
Missouri river was the eastern boundary Of
the Indian ana buffalo district, and the
Drairies were covered with what was called
"buffalo grass When civilization began
to movo wost, tho Indnn and bison adj
vanced Glso, and the grass that had covered
tho prairies for perhaps centuries gavo place
to those grasses allied to tho tame grasses Of
the cast.
Of course tho progress of this change
was slow, bias during; this timo the original
buffalo grass has become extinct along
tho Missouri river. tho first change being TO
tho ''wire- grass" 50 called from ftS resem-
blance to wire AMI its toughnoss Then
came the broad leaf or "blue stcm' grass.
which furnished an excellent quality of
hay But few years elapsed before this
grass began to give way to clover and blue
grass, which are now tho only grasses
grown in tho. castern parts OF those states
bordering on tie Missouri.
AS ono proceeds west he can easily detect
tho tendency of the grasses toward the
original buffalo grass, until within 200 or 800
miles from tho river this will 10 found t.
be tho principal grass Of the couptry. Tho
migration of the bison west is always fol
lowed by this change in vegetation. 1t is
also noticeable that with this comes tho
change in the wild flowers and birds of a
country. Where the Indian and tho buff
falo roam it is very seldom the beautiful
wild flowers. row so abundant in tho civil
lied portions Of tho west can be foI:lL
Nor 10 wo fird such bird tho robin,
mcadow-lar1 OF the ;i"e jay al many
others q the:r like in t'e iani Of the In
dian and ~bison and the majority of the
weeds which now grow upon on prairies
were unknown thirty years ago. Some of
your readers may ascribo this change TO the
grass running OUT but why should it
grow prolifically whore the bison still
roamss Tho cause of this change hos never
boon satisfactorily explained by thOsc who
have given the matter much study.
