.We feel safe in making the asser-
ton that there are in Essex county
more than 125.000 acres of unoccupied
contiguous lands, which are orr soon
will be open for settlement. Good
lands, lands that will make good pro-
ductive farms, well watered and with
timber sufficient for home consump-
ton, wanting but the energy,the bone
and muscle to clear them up"
A town lister from Newark, Caledo-
MIA county says: 'There is in this
town as good land as there is in the
country. 1t is situated in the center
of the town six miles from railroad
there is another tract of land only
three miles from railroad. =
25 farms which can be bought for from
So to a per acre." If further infor-
nation is desired address G. NJ. Bruce,
Newark.
There is no official information re-
lating to lands in some sections where
unoccupied and so called abandoned
lands are known to be located For
instance the commissioner, on visit
to towns in Windham county, found
that in the town of Wilmington over
5000 acres were available for occupan-
CIV by those desiring them. Some of
the farms are centrally located, with
habitable buildings Further infor-
nation may be obtained by address
ing Hosea Mann, jr., Wilmington, Vt
From the foregoing there appears to
be no doubt about there being, in this
state, large tracts of tillable, moccu-
pied lands, which can be bought at a
price approximating the price OF
| Western lands, situated near school
and church and not far away from
railroad facilities. The commissioner
has not visited all of the counties in
the State where these lands are re-
ported. but he has visited enough to
satisfy him that while much of the
unoccupied and formerly cultivated
land is now practically worthless for
cultivation, yet very much of it can be
made to yield liberal reward to in
telligent labor. A good portion OF
these lands are especially adapted to
dairy purposes
1t is hoped that the information as
to the quality and price of the lands
of Vermont will attract to onr State
tillers of the soil, both native and for
eign born, who will become good cit
izens of our Commonwealth, and the
commissioner viii gladly give all the
information possible, though informa-
ton in detail can best be obtained by
writing to the gentlemen whose names
and residences are indicated above.

The humorous portion of democratic
and mugwump papers these days is the
editorial comment on Tanners forced
RESIGNATION. Some of the Corporal:
;ndiscreet friends have talked as though
the bottom must now surely fall out Of
the republican party if not out of the
government. But we apprehend that
:he more sensible portion of the Grand
Army will concede that the wisest thing
for him to do was to step down and out.
His course was certainly arousing a
preiudice against the whole pension
business. The republican party has
sustained many shocks as severe as this
and its enemies have predicted its over
throw in the light of their wishes rather
than in that of its achievements and
principles. The humor of the comment
however. varies the political dullness of
the times.

ADDITIONAL FACTS.

Evidently Commissioner Valentine is
getting rather more correspondence in
relation to this abandoned farm bust
ness than he can well attend to, but he
is always ready to furnish any facts that
will help to better understanding of
the situation. In response to further
inquiries he says;
Being one OF those who believe it
best, in matters relating to the gener-
al welfare, to take the public into ones
confidence, and freely make known such
facts as are clearly of public interest,
/ am glad TO give the press any and all
information pertaining to the labors of
the commissioner of industrial interests
in Vermont.
To be sure, the final report will not
possess the fresh, newsy features which
nigh characterize it, were the bureau
conducted on another, and not unusual,
plan, but experience has thus far shown
that the course pursued is the best.
The discussion caused by the letter
of our listers, relating to the possible
colonization of good class of immi-
grants on our unoccupied lands, has
called attention, in many quarters, to
cheap and good farms. with dwellings
ready for occupancy, which are scat
tered over the state. The bureau is
flooded with letters from within and
from without the state, asking for in
formation concerning them, with view
of acquiring homes among our hills and
valleys, near church and school. 1t
has been found necessary to issue a
circular, giving location of such lands,
and the names of parties to whom to
write for particulars. The circular,
however, gives but limited idea of
the extent and availability of our aban-
doned farms. The word abandoned"
is used advisedly, for, when farms once
successfully cultivated by sturdy yeo-
men, occupying comfortable dwellings,
are now given up to weeds and en-
croaching forests, with the houses and
barns standing empty, windows broken
and roohess perhaps, if there is any
word other than abandoned" which
will give an idea of the desolation ex-
isting, the commissioner does not know
what that word is. The Legislature
did wisely in using the dreaded word.

The fashionable game oilawn tennis,
which has been steadily growing in favor
among society people in all the leading
cities and at the Watering places all over
the country for several years past, has
never hit Wheeling as hard as might be
expected ola city whose society Is noted
for It's progressiyeness and quickness in
catching on to all the latest iads. One
reason Tor this baCkWardness here in
taking up tennis, and a good one, too,
Is found In the scarcity Of
available grounds for courts. Last
season the game was made very popular
at Echo Point, out the National road and
several from the city who went out there
and to other places out along the road,
became quite expert players. An im.
petus was thus finally given to the game
hereabouts, and this season there Is TO be
at least one tennis club in town with q
court Of Its own, The club has been
formed, In fact, and the finishing touches
are being made to It's court, which Il
situated on the east side Of North Main
street, in the lot adjoining the residence
Of Mr., D, @. List, Sr. The
club will be known as "rht
Racquet Club" and It's members can b.
distinguished by the colors that have
been selected-blue and white, The
