A NEW IDEA IN SNOW ROLLERS.
From the Newport Express ]


|. B. Badcock of West Newport has
been constructing a snow roller of new
pattern, and its working was shown in
our village yesterday. 1t consists of a
combination of rollers. The main or
large rollers are like those commonly in
use, though only about four feet in diane
ter. Behind these are two smaller rollers
of the same length but only about two
feet in diameter. These track directly
behind the forward ones in a framework
attached to the front by hooks that give
free motion. TO this second framework
back of the main roller is attached the
seat with ample room for weighting the
whole with stone or other heavy weights
as desired. To this is attached a shorter
and smaller roll running In the centre to
roll down the ridge left by the other.
This last roll was attached simply to roll
the whole surface when used in village,
and can be readily removed. The advan-
tages claimed for this roll are that it can
be drawn ordinarily with two horses can
be turned round more easily; the front
rolls break down the snow, and the Sc
cond set properly weighted have better
chance to press down the snow, and do,
making a smooth and more solid surface.
| The roller certainly did nice work on
our streets, and we are inclined to think
that Mr.. Badcock has, thus far, got the
best. He has applied for patent.

SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

Editor Register With your permis-
sion | would like to ask some of my far
mer friends, Representatives at Mont
pelier last fall, to explain what reason
they had for raising so much money fl ON
the poor farmers-some of them taxed
by the fall from war prices and Western
competition, like beef made on corn
worth Is to 25 cents, while ours is fed on
corn worth from 80 to 60 cents per BUSH
ell, and they get the Western to market
for less than we do. If a farmer runs a
farm worth $4,000 and owes $4,000, you
leave him to pay taxes and interest on
the whole Indebtedness. Is not this why
the young men leave the State? What
reason for being so liberal to give col
leges have they made good return for
the farmers fund they have received for
about 20 years and for other donations
Have they not tried it long enough to
turn out farmers without practice: Does
not long experience settle the thing that
young men separated from agricultural
pursuits by years of study without prac-
tice are untitled for all the different soils
and the love and training of stock and
are incompetent to teach others; can they
do all the selecting of seeds and breeding
of animals of all kinds to make farming
pay? How long will you let things run
this way before trying to spend the mon
ey in better way? Is not the study OF
agriculture business enough for any
man-to put theory and practice togeth-
er in this short life to gain competency
for educating his family and for old age
Now, for the school law. Why not lei
our servants work for what an industri
GUS farmer could make on S5OOO-farm

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The latest about the cabinet is that Mr..
Blaine is to be secretary of state, sure.
The commission to locate and erect the
new insane asylum has decided to give it
to Waterbury.
The st. Johnsbury Republican re-
marks: SIT is perfectly patent to all the
world that Mr.. Palmer has no especial
qualifications for the position of State
superintendent of education, and nothing
can be said of him that cannot be said
with equal truth of some ten thousand
citizens of Vermont. 1t is also an unde-
niable fact that Mr.. Palmer never would
have been thought of for the position
had he not been a member of the legis-
lature."
The Norwich Comm Bulletin, COM
menting on the performances of the
strikers during the recent troubles in
New York, we'll says: sit is every
mans right to refuse to work if his duties
or his wages are unsatisfactory. 1t is nc
mans right to prevent any other mal
from taking his place, if its duties and
wages are satisfactory to that other man
Instead it is the duty of society to see
that every one is protected to the last il
his right to refuse to work or to work
as he pleases.

Bound UP FOR TRIAL.

Saturday night the authorities had
word from Vergennes that three hard
characters had left that place for this,
But one of the gang got off the cars here,
so far as any one is aware. He went that
night to the house of Mrs. Nancy Sher-
man, but was refused admission. The
next afternoon he appeared there again,
and, claiming to be an acquaintance of
relatives of Mrs. Sherman, was allowed
to 90 into the house. Mrs. Sherman's
pocketbook was in sight in the room and
while she was out for moment he took
from it, it is alleged, some $40 or Sl2.
He left the house soon after. Mrs. Sher-
man shortly discovered her loss and got
the officers out. Deputy Sheriff Cobb
found him, finally, at John Hodges in
Ripton. 1t seems he hired Mr.. William
son to take him to East Middlebury and
rode up from there with MIR. Hodges. He
was brought back by the officer, and on
Monday was bound up for trial by the
county court before Justice M. A. Brooks
He gave his name as George Casey and
said he had recently come from over the

with gay-colored ribbons; June, a flower

Young ladies, many of them in fancy
costume, will preside over the several
booths, and there will be numerous other
taking features, which every one who
goes-and of course that means the whole
town and the region round about-will
see for themselves. The hall is opened
Wednesday afternoon on purpose that
