ST. LOUIS, Nov. 9.-About 10 o'clock
this morning one of the Pinkerton de-
tectives placed Fotheringham In q
ut the Southern hotel and
told him that he was about to be taken
to the circuit court. where the habeas
corpus case was to be tried. The de-
tective was evidently under instruc-
tions to consume as much time as pos.
sible in conveying the messenger
thither, for the coachman drove his
horses at walk and over round
about route, and over three-quarters OF
an hour was consumed in SO doing.
When the carriage arrived at the cir.
cult court, Deputy Sheriff Harber
served the warrant and the prisoner
was then taken to the Four courts,
where he was locked up. In q short
time the grand jury returned an In.
dictment against him charging him
with grand larceny and with receiv-
ing stolen. property. Two other In.
dictments were returned. one against
jim Cummings aud the osher against
Richard Roe, concerningthe Identity

Fotheringham was seen at tho jail by

VERMONT SHEEP IN AUSTRALIA.

In lSS3 Mr.. V. Rich of Richvile sold

ewes and two yearling rams. The rams
died from the effects of the dipping they

the animals, writes Mr.. Rich from his
home in Scotland, under date of Septem-
Der 81 The material portion of the let

BENoNI MEETS A BLACK BEAR,

WHILE GATHERING "GING-SHANG."
On Thursday of last week man of
middle age. whose nervous condition in
dicated that he had recently experienced
pearance at the northerly end of Silver
Lake just as the shades of night were
falling. He emerged from the woods
surrounding the Silver Lake House.
which stands on one of the ridges of the
Green Mountains, and was met by Mr..
Frank Chandler, the proprietor, who
kindly made inquiry as to his name and
condition. His name, he said, was Be-
noni Smith, and his time at this season
of the year was occupied in the search of
"ging-shang. TO prove the correctness
of his statement he lifted from his shoul-
der canvas-bag, opened it and displayed
collection of roots, together with fine
specimen of the 1rdlid quinquet0lid. Be
non remarked also that he had expert
enced an extra strain on mind and body
during the afternoon, for he had dis
turbed the meditatons of a bear. black
as the ace of spades and equally as dam
gerOus. Bruin. who was roaming thro'
the forest ut the southerly end of the
lake, had evidently dined, and therefore
showed no inclination to mangle the af-
frighted intruder. Our hero with the
Scripture name quickly widened the dis
tance between himself and the quadru-
ped of the genus ErSnS. and as he flew
doubtless he fancied the six fore-teeth in
the wild beasts upper jaw and the six
grinders in the lower jaw were likely any
moment to close upon him. Happily our
worthy friend escaped to narrate his eX-
4 perience, and, having had food and shell
| Ter freely offered, he soon regained com
posure. a couple of huge pine logs blaz-
ing in an open fireplace, with other COM
forts in prospective. prompted him tc
dilate upon the merits of the eXogenous
plant which was known to him only as
"ging shang." The ginseng abound,
where there are Eastwood. beech anG
butternut trees, and the proper time tC
gather it is in the autumn. The stall
has three branches with five leaves tC
each branch, and it bears bean-shapet
berry, which when ripe is red. The roo
has pleasant aromatic taste and com
mands Il high price in the market, al
though not greatly esteemed in this coun
try for its medicinal qualities. 1t is eX
ported to China, where it also grows
and the Chinese are impressed with tn,
belief that it cures almost all the Ills tC
which flesh is heir. c. W. ID.

vorablv with the achievements of birds

There was brought to this office, Mon
day, spray from a raspberry bush that
bore a number of ripe berries and others
just coming to maturity. 1t was from
the garden of Mr.. VIM. Kyle, where a
fine crop of green peas was to be seen
before the late severe frost.
Mr.. Chas. Bruya this season raised
from one small Early Rose potatoe eight
pounds and five ounces of fine tubers
All of them were of large size, and one
weighed two pounds andan ounce. There
were nine of them. They were not hOed
or cultivated, and the seed was planted
very deep, to which latter fact the grow
er attributes his success.

The SCHOOLS OF VERMONT.

In another column will be found "a
most interesting letter from IA st. Johns
bury correspondent of thd New York
Evening Post. 1t contains some start
ing facts, which are not pleasant read
ng, perhaps, but need to be known. If
l. is true, as this writer AYERS, that the
|uality of our schools is deteriorating
Ehile their cost is continually increasing,
|Omething should be done about it, and
light away.
In this connection it is worth while to
five the figures concerning the schools
f our own county as contained in the
iennial report of Superintendent of Ed
cation Dartt, which has just been
sued. In lSS4-'S5 the number of com.
pon schools in Addison county was lS7 I;
Prms of school, 435; different scholars
tending school, 5939; different male
|achers employed, SO; different female

The figures for 1SS5-'SG are as follows:
Number of common schools, 1873: terms

ing school, 5557; different male teachers

had attended Vermont normal school,
80; number of teachers who were gradu-
atcs of normal school. Is: whole
amount expended for school purposes,
$50. 75S.47.
These statistics show a number of
things that demand attention, such as:
|. Teachers are very frequently
changed. In 1SSl-'S5 it required 800
different teachers in the 1S7 schools of
the county; and in 1SS5-'SG 323 in l9S
schools Surely so numerous changes
cannot be conducive to the most effective
work on the part of either teachers or
pupils. Each must become thoroughly
acquainted with the other in order to the
best results.
IL. Our normal schools amount to
very little practically. But Is of the
teachers employed in the county in lSSl-
50 were graduates of them or of any
normal school; in lSS5-'SG the number
was but l5. The total cost to the State
of the normal schools for 1SS4-'S5 was
SS220; for 1SS5-'S6, S7SS4. During 1SS4-
81 1863 of the 1855 different teachers in
the schools of the State were graduates
of normal schools; during 1SS5-'SG 407
of the 1929 teachers were graduates of
such schools.
1t is the opinion of very many of the
most prominent educators that an i'm
provement of the schools generally can
be brought about only through the adop-
ton of the town system throughout the
State. Mr.. Dartt himself suggests it in
the report to which we have referred,
and says of the working of the system.
BY reports given herewith it will be
seen that in towns where the system has
been tried. with but one or two eXcep-
tions. the schools have improved very
much from what they were before the
change. There j. no more important
call. no greater demand pressing upon
the people of Vermont at this time than
this one for more efficient common
schools. and experience with the town
system for fourteen years shows Conrlu-
sivcly that it would put Us in the way OF
securing them. If other testimony than
the experience of towns in our own state
i needed. there is abundance of it. Most
of the Northern States have some modi-
fication of this system. OF the New
England States. Massachusetts and New
Hampshire. after trying both system,
for years, have adopted the town system
for all the towns. Maine. Rhode lslanC
and Connecticut are fast moving to
wards it.
In view of all that has been said anC
ascertained, it behoOves the people o
the State to act in this matter of schools
or it will fail behind surrounding State
in the education of its youth. 1t is t.
be hoped that the present session of TIT
legislature will not pass without a move
ment in the right direction.
