There is no law firmer fixed upon
the statute books of Vermont than the
prolibitory law, and the person does
not live who will witness it's repeal
AS soon might we expect the demOc-
racy to obtain control. While there
is no law against the introduction OF
such bills, it is waste of time to con-
slider them

Institute of a most encouraging nature,
and that gives evidence of constant
growth and skilful management. 1t
may be matter of interesting infor-
nation to the many friends of the
school that the number of students has
doubled in the past five years. There
were enrolled the current term one
hundred and thirty-two students, ex-
elusive of those in ornamental branch
es. Perhaps even greater advance has
been made in the classification and
standing of the school. improvements
in the work of the school and additions
in furniture, apparatus, books, ETC., are
made from time to time, and it is be-
lieved that greater advantages are of
fered than ever before to students in
attendance. The winter term begins
December III. A class in singing will
be formed with j. H. Humphrey of St.
Johnsbury teacher. Il. N. Vail has re-
Gently given $3.50 to the art studio.
This is being expended in furnishing
the studio and in purchasing models,
casts, plates, etc., for students in draw
ing and painting. If expedient, an
evening class in mechanical drawing
may be formed. Miss Kimball, who
will teach classes in this department,
if formed, is a graduate of Massachu-
sets normal art school, and taught in
the institute in 1887. Certainly, the
outlook for Lyndon Institute is most
encouraging.
Prize Declarations.

indicating its Character.
The Salem. Mnss.. Melps,


We have already referred to the fact
that on the day following the late cleo
ton, the Boston Globe says it printed
and sold 424, 230 copies. Later came
the announcement from the Boston
Herald that its sales on the same day
aggregated ,739. This brought out
an ungracious reference from the Globe,
in which i'll concealed chagrin was
coupled with an implication that the
Herald was putting forth a bogus
claim, and more than intimating that
the Herald was a liar. The Herald
lets in little light upon one statement
made by the Globe to the effect that
one buyer alOne-the Hotel and Rail-
road News company-bought on We'd
nesday, the 9TH inst, 6S, 110 copies of
that paper, against 67,62O Heralds.
AS matter of fact, the Herald's sales
to the company aggregated IS, 462
copies, a clear lead of over 1000 in
this one quarter alone. Finally, the
assaulted paper says that it is not lying
for circulation. 1t is not lying for adj
vertising. 1t does not do business in
that way. And the News believes it is
telling the truth.

Where a SIeep-Walker Awoke.

The other night young man living
near here, says the Valdosta (Ga)
Times, got up in his sleep, partially
dressed himself, walked out into the
yard and jumped into the we'll. The
plunge bath, of course woke him up.
He struggled to the top, being Il good
swimmer, and while clutching about
in the dark on the surface of the water
he got hold of the chain which worked
over a pulley and which had bucket
at both ends. He threw his weight on
the chain, but the pulley worked east
ly and the bucket on the other end
shot up and the young man shot down
toward the bottom of the we'll. Sun
dry well directed but spasmodic kicks
at that moment the recently assembled
bucket, which had turned down again
when he turned the chain loose, met
the top of his head with a severe blow,
which ducked him under again. Reach
ing the surface again and with cool
ness and presence of mind which was
remarkable under the circumstances,
he gathered the chain, and while
threading WATER" as the boys call it,
he gently pulled the chain, causing the
bucket to ascend until it hit the pulley
at the top of the well-frame. Now he
had Il solid hold, and finding the step
holes on the side of the we'll, he soon
mounted to the curbing and sprang
out upon terra firma. He said that he
thought in his dreams that he was at
the "ford," and was jumping in for a
pleasure bath. The water in the we'll
was 20 feet deep, but the surface was
not far below the bottom of the curb.

1t is understood that some of the

can be harvested in the country than
on Lake Champlain.

One of the many cheering signs of
the times is the friendly attitude of
many Southern democratic papers and
politicians toward the new admins
tration. SOutherners have no reason
to expect other than fair and honorable
treatment at the hands of President
Harrison. In replying to letter of
cOngratulation from Memphis, Tenn,
Gen. Harrison says, 81 do most sin
cerely desire to promote the general
good of our whole people, without ref
erence to state lines Many South
erners believe that he means what he
says and will live up to it more will
be of the same mind year hence.
Political busy bodies and newspaper
correspondents are still engaged in
making up Mr.. Harrison's cabinet.
They build some apparently very sub
stantial structures on very slight fOun-
dations. Meanwhile, Mr.. Harrison
says he has not been interviewed by a
reporter since the beginning of the
campaign, nor will he be. Moreover,
he is reported as having said to a friend
the other day: "The matter of the
cabinet has not been taken up, nor will
be till after my return from the East.
There is no hurry about it. We have
from now until the 18th of March, and
there is nothing to be gained by being
in hurry" 1t is pretty evident that
in Mr.. Harrison the nation has found
a man who can keep his own counsels.
The people may as well settle down to
the everyday business of life and leave
him to make up his cabinet himself,
as he is abundantly able to do.
