We have received letter from a
well-known professional gentleman OF
the State offering for sale for $1,000 a
farm of 250 acres. The farm contains
fair amount of tillage, comfortable
buildings, has quite number of fruit
trees, both pear and epple, is situated
only two miles from village in which
are churches and schools and stores, a
hotel to which summer boarders resort
in large numbers, and is ten miles from
a railroad station. There is no deny
ing the fact that it is back farm, but
not so far back that one cannot drive
out easily and quickly on good road.
If we mistake not this farm has been
ON the market for years at the same low
price, and yet young men from the
town in which it is situated have chos-
en- to pass it by and try their fortunes
in Dakota and elsewhere, some with
moor success as the result has proved.
How shall we explain this? There is
always something more attractive in a
new country than in an old one, and
from the very beginning in this country
the tide has moved towards newer re-
gions. This will be the case until these
newer regions are occupied. All that
we can do is to persuade as many as we
can that Vermont is just as good as any
State. that the resources of her soil are
not exhausted, and that the same am
ount Of hard labor and self-denial here
as in the newer west viii bring as full
returns.

NEW STAFF OFFICERS.
Three Vacancies FilIed by PresideE
tlal Appointment.

WASHINGTON, October 5.-Three vscan-
cies in the staff departments Of the army
were filed today by the following ap-
pointments:
Lieutenant George s. Hoyt, First In
fantry, to be Assistant Quartermaster,
with the rank of Captain; Lieutenant
Henry B. Osgood, Third Artillery, and
General L. W. Alexander, of Iowa, to be
Commissaries in the Subsistence Depart
ment, with the rank of Captain.
General Alexander enlisted in the
Thirtieth Iowa Infantry August IS, 1862,
was appointed First Lieutenant the fol-
lowing month and Captain in September,
1868, aud mustered out August Is, 1865,
having been wounded in the engagement
OF Arkansas Post, in January, 1868. He
is now and has been for the past eleven
years Adjutsnt- General and Quarter
master General of Iowa. His selection
from civil life was strongly urged by the
Senators and Representatives from Iowa.
1t is said that the fact that out of some
thing over 500 officers in the general
staff, that but four of them are from
Iowa, had strong influence in determin.
ing this appointment. Two of these are
in the Engineer Corps by virtue of thei,
class standing; one in the Medical De-
partment, and one in the Pay Depart
ment.
