The Home Rule Question

LONDON. Sept 3O.-There is very little
prospect of an immediate agitation on the
home rule question, SO far as England is con
cernees When Parliament adjourned the
members of both parties, who came under
the head of agitators, rushed off for needed
rest to the continent or Scotland, and Lon
don as far as the presence of prominent
politicians is concerned became almost de-
serted. No one expects much autumn
speech making. This is unusual, but the
signs of the times predict it. Mr.. Dutt0n
has voiced the sentiment of Parnell in Dub
lin that war, if there is to be war, should be
inaugurated by the landlords. Tenants
should not be the aggresSors. The timid
Briton is at present greatly alarmed by
having thrown at his feet two diplomatic
documents of dynamite tendency, Glad
stones letter on home rule in Wales and

THIRTY-TWO BELOW ZERO.

The weather in this section during
the past week can badly be called phe-
nomenal for VermOnters never feel
quite at home until the thermometer
registers 400 below zero. But the last
eight mornings will do, as the mercury
has averaged over l70 below. On
Tuesday morning it was 30 below,
Wednesday 81 and Thursday %, by
Bingham's "standard"-and in some
extremely exposed localities it fell to
80 below on Tuesday. 1t has been i'm
possible with such prolonged cold to
keep the cold out of dwellings and
more or less damage is done water
pipes and many cellars are frozen,
while the discomfort and suffering to
people and animals is extreme. Much
interest is felt by those in this town
and vicinity who are interested in
Florida orange groves. The cold
weather there has been unprecedented.
This years crop of oranges which is
yet unharvested is frozen and the re-
sulting loss is put at half a million
dollars. 1t is held that the trees will
not recover the effects of the blast for
five years.

HISTORICAL LECTURES.

Henry Hall of Rutland began Sc
ries of historical lectures OIL Vermont
i'm the basement of Music hall Monday
evening. The subject of this lecture
was The Forts of Vermont. Mr.. Halls
historical researches have evidently
been extended and thorough and he
has made the study of VermOnt's ear
Hest history the study of his life. By
the aid of diagrams he described the
structure of the forts of 200 years ago
and their location, including in the
narrative the story of many contests
between the early white settlers of the
state and the Indians. Evidently the
latter were bloody set and no hint
was given of the better side of the In
dian character as sometimes portrayed
in the books. The Vermont Indian
