The First Sim

OF failing health, whether in the form OF
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in d
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss Of
Appetite, should suggest the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfecbled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizng the blood.

Vermont has curious laws. The
law provides that party can hire a
house of q person, live in it II certain
length of time without paying rent,
and il their landlord wishes them to
get out for non-payment Of rent, or for
other good reasons, cannot get them
out under year, if the party is bound
to hold out, Notwithstanding II written
agreement exists between the parties,
signed by the tenant, that upon neglect
to pay the rent they should get out
upon sufficient notice. This has been
illustrated within the past few days in
our own town, when man owning q
house near the factory bridge, wishing
to clear lady ont of it for non-pay-
ment of rent, also that he might make
a sale of the property, tried to do so,
when he found the law On her side,
and it was only by giving her nearly
four months rent, which was due, and
paying her So, that he succeeded in
getting her out. How is this for YER
mont laws?
In another column may be found the
proceedings of the Democratic county

fair, considering the busy season and

county convention to our knowledge,
such as Weston and Vest Windsor.
1t takes some grit to to turn out for a
2j mile jaunt to " Democratic conven-
ton in Vermont. We were glad to
see so many of the veterans of the party
out, also such large number of young
men, which augurs well for the future
of the party. There was no hauling
or pulling for "place," and the ticket
put in nomination is good one. Now
let us go to work and give it d hearty
support. We may not be able to
catch the Republican fox in this county
this year, but we can "dog him some,

Having said "good bye" to the friends
who have known US since our child
hood, and having become Identified
with the BARRIER COUNTY INDEX. il
may be expected that we should say a
few words In cur own behalf. We 20
not believe il good policy TO make many
: promises; TIE fewer made the fewer
broken. We prefer 10 90 orr best, and
let tie public judge uS by our works.
+ Since we were old enough To vote we
have considered it our patriotic duty to
attend every election. and To vote; and
every vote we ever cast was strictly
democratic. We have no rpasOn Row to
regret a single one OF them. OFTEN our
| friends have been beaten at the prina-
/ ~, and our enemies chosen To carry the
battle-ilag; but with us the will Of the
majority was law, and we have worked
as faithfully for the nominees as though
/ they had LCen men Og our choice. This
shall be our course in the future. The
party is responsible for its nominees.
and is better able TO select them than
any one member could possible be.
/ While preaching temperance Mt all
+ times, we shall not preach prohibition.
/ We do not believe this is the proper
course to suppress intemrerdnce, and
/ especially in new and growing coun-
+ try. We simply rob ourselves OF the
/ revenue that might be derived from the
traffic under the high license systems:
set aside the milder influence of local
/ option; hold out tempting bait for
men TO become yiOlatOrs Of the law, and
/ IN return receive nothing. We want TO
see our people educated up 10 a point
where they can cure this evil by moral

county is in The hands of the people now

justly and literally, encourage every
worthy enterprise, and hold out well
come to all who choose To- come among
us, our prairies will soon become the

sons OF toll. Poor lands and poor peo-
pie have natural affinity. Our lands
being rich and cheap, will certainly
make fortunes for these who till them
iniellISently. With proper management
1t will be but short time till our adj
vantages arc appreciated. and there
Will then be no lack Of men nor means
to make our pr;tiries vast harvest field.
Then prosperity will abide with us. 1t
is with the object of helping to build up
the county, and Of sharing in its pros

More Trouble at Sexton.

There was another circus over the
Sexton postolfice matter last Friday
which should further convince the pub
lie that George Sexton is not the proper
person to hold the position of deputy
postmaster, even. Ills father, Free
Sexton, who was appointed and COM
missioned postmaster several weeks
since; in pursuance to the instructions
from the department at Washington.
went with witnesses and demanded the
Office, at the same time presenting his
credentials and authority. George III.
Sexton absolutely refused to surrender
the Office. One of the witnesses, Chas.
+. Sexton, a nephew OF Geo. H., at
tempted TO reason with his uncle, but
only met with abuse and was ordered
Ut of the house. When outside. Geo.
III. Sexton deliberately drew his re-
volver and fired at his nephew, but fer
tunately without effect.
These facts were written TO the de-
partment by the parties who witnessed
the shooting, and now if the authorities
do not take immediate steps to see their
orders obeyed there is no hope of law
and order in this county.
