candles, which shed a soft radiance over
the rare old curios, and the ladies moving
about IN their quaint gowns and high
topped combs, completed the harmonious
picture. The loan collection of relics was
large and choice one, and showed that no
end of labor had been given 10 gathering
the articles from many sources The SUP

AnIn,ere.,ing Problem.

From the Manchester Mirror
A Vermont subscriber writing in rather
lugubrious tone about the agricultural
prospects in his vicinity says that LAND has
deprecated almost 80 per cent in the last
20 years Twenty years takes us back
to the booming prices of an inflated depre-
ciated currency, and there has been more
or less Of a shrinkage in all kinds of val
ues since then, 1t must be interesting to
know how far this depreciation is due to
natural causes-other than agricultural de
preston or unpopularity-in which all kinds
of business have shared, and how the de
probation in agricultural property com
pares with the shrinkage in other invest
ments.
Whatever the facts may prove to be, the
situation is not one peculiar to Vermont, as
is too often supposed. The state assessors
of New York report general depreciation
in the value of farm property in all the
counties of the state, and they even pre-
diet that in many cases occupants are like
ly to become tenants, instead of owners, in
consequence of the mortgage sales of their
lands

The dispatches of the past week show

chaos in the stricken city Of Johnstown,
Pa The streets which, the day after the
flood, were filled ten 70 twenty feet high
with wreckage have been cleared and
once more defined, except where they were
totally obliterated. The terrible jam above
the stone bridge has been removed, and
the waters of the Conemaugh and Of Stony
Greek are now running in their natural
channels. To remove this wreckage re-
guired the work Of hundreds of men for a
month and the use Of almost seven tons Of
dynamite. Within few days the state
authorities will have completed the work
of removing the debris aud opening the
rivers, aud then Johnstown will be left to

year for food disasters, and Johnstown,

rains raised the Cayadutta creek, ON which
Johnstown stands, to point never before
known, two dams were carried away, let
ting down a large amount of water, large
quantity Of property was destroyed, in
Guiding railroad and highway bridges and
railroad road beds, and at least six lives
were lost Four of those lost were persons

was supposed to be impregnable, but the
water washed out the abutments and ii

OUR NATIONAL GAME.

The game Tuesday between the Brattle-
boros and picked nine of students from
different colleges, who are spending the
summer at Mortified, was too one-sided to
he interesting. Our boys might have blank
ed their opponents as it was they simply
to1yed with them and made them present
OF a few scores. WoOdcock except when
men were on bases, tossed the ball over the
plate In the last two innings several of
the home players changed positions Burrel
and Dowd trying 10 pitch The Brattleboros
did not bat Bergstrom heavily, but there
was no incentive for them to do SO. as the
collegians tielded like school girls, aud gave
them plenty of scores A running catch hy
LeRay was the best play of the day.

1T OUGHT TO BE so HERE.

lfrom the Springfield Republican, July o.
After having experienced the quietsst
Fourth of July in our history, nobody in
Springfield will desire TO go back TO the old
order of things. The compromise gave the
boys an opportunity to make noise and
burn powder from sunrise until 9A.M..
and then again in the evening from 1880 10
1890. This offered sufficient vent, and for
the rest of the day aud night comparative
quiet reigned. The relief was prodigious
and most grateful To grown-up folks.
1t is precisely this rule that ought IN be
enforced in Brattleboro, and were it done
the boys would have the good will Of every
body in their Fourth of July racket. Its
Observance this year would have saved
several invalids consequences from which
they have not yet recovered.

persons 10 pay 10 the state a tax of one
fifth Of one per cent, on evidences of debt,
bonds, stocks and mortgages 1t can be
paid once in five years, and cannot be taxed
10y towns This law is passed in view of
the fact that only very small part of these
things now pays tax, and also recognizes
the fact that the real property on which
these things evince debt pays a full tax
through other persons. Very little of this
property is now taxed, and the state is con
fident that the law will result in far more
money 10 the state at this less rate, than at
the higher rate at which so few paid, and

Gen. Sherman son, who entered on his
novitiate in the Roman Catholic priesthood
two or three years ago received the final
orders rs a priest last Sunday. The cere-
mouy was held in Philadelphia in the arch
bishops private chapel connected with the
cathedral An interesting account is given
of the first mass celebrated 10y the Young
priest in the church of Jesu at Philadelphia
ON Tuesday morning. His vestments were
OF white silk the chausable being made
from the wedding dress of his sister, and
the stole gift from Miss Steele of Column
bus, O. The alb was made of point lace,
the material having been selected and made
up 10y his mother, who is now dead His
brother, Tecumseh sherman, who has re
comfy become a novitiate, served the mass,
and beautiful feature of the service was
the music rendered by number of altar
boys. When the time arrived for the ad-
ministration of holy communion, among
the crowd who pressed forward 10 the altar
railing were his sisters, 10 whom he admin
istered the sacrament first, then 10 other
relatives, and then 10 all who desired Gen.
sherman was not present at any of these
ceremonies His creed, which is printed
in a clipping on our first page today, is not
so exact in its terms as that of his children,
hut it is broad and inclusive one.
