A Bridal ChariYari.

Citizens on Lafitts street were grumb-
ling last night. There was bridal
party there and some friends decided
upon giving them charivari. This they
did with a vengeance, and for a time
there YVES regular psndemonium.
Then they retired and the neighbors
thought that they could now enjoy their
rest, but the hoodlums had only gone
renewed vigor, to make the night hide
GUS by their internal din. For long
time this continued, until the party re-
tired exhausted by their labor, and all
was peace.

Passed Away.

A young man named Christopher
Richardson, aged II years, died this
morning at 300 Press street from heart
and kidney disease. The deceased's
mother died In Llano county from the
same disease. and he then came to the
city, where he has since lived. 1t is
supposed that the disease was Induced
by the mercurial condition of the water
there, from which cause many citizens
OF that section are afflicted in like man.

The Tallest Residence in the World.

The tallest residence in the world is
now in litigation. 1t is the Osborne
apartment house, and IL measures 200
feet from sidewalk level to roof. Like
most Of the enormous French fiat build
ings in this city, it has been financial
failure, returning less than per
cent on the Investment OF $780,
600. The law suit is over n
contract under which it was to have
been sold by Thomas Osborne to the
wife OF Gen. Chas. G. Dodge. The lofty
structure stands on an elevated site in
Seventh avenue near Central Park, and
it makes the neighboring church spires
look mean and small. As a new law for
bids the erection of houses in New York
more than 100 feet high, and such re-
strictions are In force In European cities,
the Osborne is not likely to retain Its al
titudinous prominence.

The BondyiIle Fair.
A fine day, a good Attendance and &
fair Exhibit.

The first annual Fair Of the Winhall
Industrial Society was held at Bond
vile last Friday. Several fairs have
been held at this place, hitherto, but I'M
der the auspices of Mountain Home
Grange. This year the Grange gave
| the matter into the hands of The citizens
who organized the above named Society.
The standard of the fair was hardly
up to previous years under the manage
ment of the Grange, but the show was
very good for Il small mountain town.

with the collection Of stock, as well as
the picking and selecting of fruit and
vegetables. Notwithstanding these
drawbacks the exhibit of stock was

the first story or shelf being filled with

A Sound Speech on Farming by Gen.
Gr0ut at Windham County Fair.

In spite of the rain which kept many
at home and prevented the races, Gen.
Grout, the speaker of the day, was on
hand and delighted and instructed the
small crowd that came out, with one of
the best speeches ever given OH the fair
ground.
In the introduction of his subject,
"What | know about Farming" the
General said that what he knew about
it could be said in very short time,
yet that there were heights and depths
in agriculture as yet unexplored. All
the natural sciences, except astronomy,
are connected with farming. Through
the knowledge of botany and from ex-
periments in it, we have instead of a
potato the size of pea, our large and
mealy early rows. Through the knowl-

edge of mechanics the farm has The
cyphon and the ram, BY melereology
he Is enabled 10 fortell the condition of
the weather, Chemistry tells him what
kind of Il crop is good for his soil and
what food makes bone, fat or muscle,
Through experimental chemistry Lie
big made phosphate and through the
chemical researches of Humboldt we
have guano.
What the farmer lacks is education
IN these branches, No farmer can be
good one unless he understands the
sciences alluded to- lie may study art
and music as accomplishments, but Il
scientific education is something his
business demands.
What shall the Vermont farmer do
TO become educated? First let him
send his boys to an agricultural college,
and second let him read and converse
all he can about agricultural matters
and most of all labor and work for an
experimental station where he can go
with sample of his soil and learn what
it needs to make it crop producing.
Our sister state, Massachusetts, has III
vested 100000 in such an institution,
and Connecticut $2j 200. But tie gen
eral government should establish these
stations as it is interested in the exports
of the country and 50 per cent of all
that is exported comes from the farm.
In speaking of the labor question,
the speaker said that it was The great
question in moral philosophy to-day,
but that our free land system present.
ed means of setting the question in this
country which was not afforded in the
old world. Here the laborer has Il
home. and home makes patriots, but
few men will risk their lives i'll defend
ing boarding. house. Also the labor
cr has voice in legislation and that
lightens lis burden.
Returning to the immediate sub
iect in hand Gen. Grout gave some
statistics in form of an examining
station for asccrtaining and guarding
against diseases in animals, which
ought to make Our Legislators look in
to the question. Thirty millions are
lost yearly by our farmers from the
death of live stock. In 1881 we recciv-
ed from the old world $40 1900, 600 for
pork. lard and beans. To-day France,
Germany and England refuse to taste
our American meat because it is affect
ed. The general public is interested in
an examining station and the establish
ment of such station is only Il matter
Of time.
Speaking in relation 10 the labor
trouble and great corporations he said
that another generation of laborcrs
might scatter the wealth ofthe Wander
bits and bring their money into circu-
lation. that great corporations should be
subject to legislation. If railroads are
not subject to legislation it is the fault
of the laborer himself.
Again speaking of farming and the
farmer Gen. Grout said that the prob
lem was not the same that our fathers
solved. The original fertility of the
soil had been sapped, so it pays to use
commercial fertilizers. Make use of
all improved methods in farming.
Have green feed in the winter when
cattle relish it. Sell when some one
wants to buy. Let rum and tobacco
alone and use br0in$ for a fertilizer
and you will succeed at farming.

"The Daily YcrmOnter."

During the approaching session of
the legislature there will be two daily
papers published at Montpelier--onc by
the Waterman, Gov. Smiths bought
up paper, to be called the ''Daily Jour
nal" and the other by the Rural
Vermonter, to be called "THE DAILY
VERMoNTER." The latter is distinct
lively the farmers paper, indepen-
dent republican in its political creed
and tone, and anti-ring, anti-monopoly
and anti-free pass to the backbone. 1t
has fought a manly and vigorous fight
in this campaign for cleaner politics
and better men. 1t has earnestly sup
ported Senator Edmundr, has persist
emily advocated efficient railroad COM
mission and short haul legislation, and,
next to the SITTER, has put in the live
liest and best work against the free pass
nuisance and scandal. 1t stands, in
short, for just what the farmers and all
other sensible people in this part of the
State believe in and mean to have. One
of the editors of the Vermonter, Mr.
Arthur Ropes, was the former editor
of the Waterman before it was bought
up by Gov. Smith, and when it spoke
up manfully for the PEOPLE instead of
monopolies and "the ring" and consc-
quently has had several years expert
ence in reporting for and editing a dali
ly Legislative journal; while the present
editor of the Waterman is new in such
business. Besides, he is Gov. Smiths
mouthpiecc and man from the crown of
his head to the soles of his feet. He
has made an unmanly, bitter and
sneaking fight against Senator Ed
munds, and is opposed to all effective
reform legislation which the people de-
mand. 1t follows, of course, that all
Senators and Representatives, and peo.
pie too, who want reform, and who
mean to put down monopolies and ring:
and political bossism, should give cor
dial and liberal support TO 1.-THE DAILY
vERMoNTER." 1t stands by you and j
has right to expect that you will stanC
by it. Success to it.

Our railroad and political DO SSes,
backed up by "thc ring, and the entire
Gree Pass Brigade" mean to cheat
the people out OF the legitimate fruits
of their late victory; and every Senator
and Representative elect will need to
keep his eyes wide open to avoid being
led astray by these crafty manipulators,
who rival the evil one himself in the in
fernal cunning of his ways and tricks,
by which the very elect are ofteniinos
deceived. Their cue is not openly and
squarely to oppose the railroad COM
mission and short haul bills, which they
have shrewdness enough to see they can
not resist; so they pretend all of sud
den to favor such legislation, though
they have always heretofore bitterly
and successfully fought and killed it..
But you may safely bet your bottom
dollar that they mean, vampire like, to
suck every drop of invigorating blood
out of it before it becomes law, and
to have control of its execution, through
commissioners of their own selection,
after it becomes law. And so III re-
gard to the proposed law forbiddmg
the scandalous practice of nearly all
our State officials, Judges of courts and
members of the legislature i'll accepting
free passes from corporations whose in
terests they may have to deal with Off
cially. These ringsters and free riders
and political bosses never mean to sub
nit to the popular will, if they can pos
sibly avoid it. Take away the free pass,
and the power of the bosses, as well as
the vocation of the strikers, profession
al manipulators and caucus-packcrs,
would be gone. 1t is almost the sole
strength of the one, and the inspiration
and sustenancc of the other, and its all
clifton would kill two very foul and Of
fepsive political birds with one stone.
Make sure, then, Messrs. legislators,
that your aim is deadly when you cast
that stone. At the very outset, look
out for your speaker, whose legislative
power, through his committees and
otherwise is almost arbitrary. Vote for
no man for that position who will not
pledge himself, in advance, to appoint
committees to facilitate the reform
legislation demanded by the people,
and not TO thwart it at the command
of the railroad magnates, as heretofore
1t is Il we'll understood fact that for 20
years, or more, every railroad COM
mittee has been practically picked out
and dictated by Gov. Smith, through his
lobbying lieutenants,-Jo Hatch, DR..
Nichols and Chef Wittcrs,--so all
proposed reform legislation regarding
railroads has been smOthered to death
in the committee room. The people
want no more of this; and it will be
fatal day to any future Speaker who,
in this respect, "follows in the footsteps
of his illustrious( Dpredecessors." Give
us Speaker this year who will serve
the people and their interests rather
than the bosses. Accept no free pas
ses, and turn deaf ear to the wilcs of
the seducer. In short, resist the devil
and he will flee from you. So mote it
be!

Work has been commenced on the

Mrs. Il. G. Wallace, wife of cx-Gov.
Wallace of Indiana, delivered lecture
ON the Woman's Suffrage question,
last Sunday evening to a we'll filed
house, Although Mrs. Wallace is
quite old she possesses clear, strong
voice which is seldom noticed in lady
of her advanced age.
One of the things that Brattleboro
needs is telegraph Office on the street.
The usefulness of this would be I'M
questionable. Every day, people i'll
quire where the telegraph Office is, and
upon being told that it is at the depot
think it strange that a place of this size
should not have an Office on the street.
That the cause of the fire of Mrs.
Simonds' barn was incendiary the peo-
pie have no doubt, A suspicious char
acter was seen about fifteen minutes
before the fire, and some people say
that they know him. If this be the
case why don't the authorities have the
person arrested and if guilty, locked
up? 1t would save the citizens of Brat
tleboro Il good deal of anxiety if they
knew the iirc-bug to be under lock and
key.
Last Friday afternoon Wilbur WASH
burn, aged IS years, and employed in
the Carpenter organ works, met with
a serious accident. lie was at work on
the fourth floor of the shop and was
drawing an organ to the elevator,
which some one was using on the floor
above him, when the handle, by which
he was drawing the organ, gave way
and he fell backwards through the OPEN
ing and down the elevator shaft to the
cellar floor, distance of 40 feet. No
one had seen him fall, but a workman
near the elevator heard a cry and look
ing down the shaft saw him lying Oh
the ground. He was unconscious when
found, doctors were at once summoned
and doctors, Pratt and Gale, came TO
his assistance. He was immediately
taken to his home. The strangest part
is that no bones were broken, but he
sustained some internal injuries.
