WOLVES AND SHEEP.
An Old Fable Applied to Vermont Poll
tics
MONTPELIER, VT, Aug. 10, 1856

MONTPELIER, Vt, Aug. 10, 1856.
To the Editor of II Free Press:
The Democratic press seems to devote
most of its energies in directing the af-
fairs of the Republican party, to secure
the next president and defeat them, and
they assure us the only way to overthrow
them is by not returning the Hon. Geo.
f. Edmuuds to Congress. We feel CRATE
full to them for their dlsinterested counsel
but cannot help calling to mind the
fable of the wolves and the sheep. The
sheep were asked by the wolves to give
up their faithful guardians, and accept
some of the wolves instead. The result
proved disastrous to the sheep and so
would it to the Republicans if they ac-
copied the Democratic advice.
The Edmunds question seems to be
settled as far as any expression of the
people through their several conventions
can determine. believe he will be tri.
umphantly reelected next fall and if others
can feel assured of that why not drop the
Edmunds question for the immediate
present and turn our attention to the
common enemy, the Democrats. | believe
they hope to create sufficient discussion in
the Republican ranks by this constant
wrangling to split the party in some
towns and either elect Il Democrat or pre-
vent the election of any representative,
which is about the same to them. Let us
but hold or increase our old time Repub-
lican majority, and the election of George
+. Edmuuds is secured and the railroad
commission bill passed. There is no
surer way of doing this than by Repub-
lican majOritles after which we can name
our leaders. CARL l.. SMITH.

The annual fair of the Addison County

fine one. From ShOreham alone the fol

hibitiou II. Il. Hammond of the Cream

some OF which We're prize winners in
Holland before their importation +. and

+. n. Bissell, Gallaways. These are

successful Exhibition Assured-A Larg,
Number of Entries.

The joint exhibition of the Vermont
State Agricultural society and the Cham
plain Valley association which will he
held at Howard Park, September 10 to II
inclusive promises to be the most success
FIJI fair held since the union of the two or
CARNATIONS. The entries are larger than
ever before ut this season of the year, the
regular premiums and purses have been
increased and several special premiums
have been offered. A force of men has
been at work for some time putting the
buildings and grounds in shape and the
park is in first class condition. a portion
OF the grand stand has been set off for re-
served seats and these have been car
peted This feature will undoubtedly
prove great attraction Tor the ladies who
take an interest in racing as well as for
those generally who like Il soft seat. 1t
will be the aim of the managers TO pre-
serve the best order on the ground and to
this end the sale of intoxicating liquors
will be vigorously suppressed, as will all
other nuisanceS
The exhibition of thoroughbred stock is
certain to be the best ever made at How
ard Park, from the fact that the entries in
the various departments are unusually
| large. There are more entries of
| horses than were ever made before
at this time and the cattle entries
already exceed those of former years.
Among the herds which will be exhibited
are those of the Cream Hin farm of Shore
ham, the Houghton farm of P1tnam and
! Harris x Vail of Lyndon. There will lie
herds OF Herefords and other prominent
herds.
The sheep entries are also unusually
large. The races are filling rapidly and 4
number of horses are already on the
ground. The offer of $500 in purses anC
$1,000 in premiums of itself should rs sur,
a good exhibition. The offer of IA specia
premium of $50 for the best five pair 0
oxen exhibited by one man will be nov
city and this exhibition will be well wort
seeing.

GOOD IDEA CONCERNING
FUNERALS.

In connection with the subject Of tuner
ais | would like Il make a suggestion Ia
all who. through a sad necessity. may be
come interested. 1t is the custom, Of
course. where death occurs in a family 10
send at once for an undertaken. If there
be no male relative to make a business of
the matter. the suggestions of the under
taker are listened to and assented 20 by
the widow and the orphan. The subject
of the cost CRATES so harshly upon the ear
of the afflicted ones that cost and prices are
not much talked over. but left 70 the iudg-
ment OF the undertaken. The undertaken,
however kind and sympathetic. knows but
little Of the financial affairs of the family,
and his thoughts running naturally in the
business line Of getting up a nice funeral,
he selects and brings mp a rather expensive
coffin or sarcophagus-prohabiy n that
costs $50 or $50. Its price scares the family,
but it has been ''ordered, and the straight
ened family finds that the payment Of it.
together with all the other expenses Incl
dent to sickness and death, becomes as
great a weight upon their hearts As is the
earth upon the form Of their dear one IN his
grave.
This is no fancy picture, But let it be
understood that there are III every under
taking establishment in this city not only
those modern denominations called ''cask-
cts" made Of iron, or Of chemically stepped
boards tn initiate iron, but also rosewood
eofims. light in weight and very beautiful,
for prices from Si7 to $50. My suggestion
is, to all families. hat when death enters
among them, they-at amy cost Of feeling =
make the expense Of the burial a personal
and business matter, and thus avoid sor.
row upon sorrow.-Cler9gmaa, IN Globe
