noVermont State FaIr.

The bad blood which has disturbed the
relations Of the Vermont State a gricul'
tural Society and the ChamplaiD Valley
Association came to head in Burling'
ton. on Thursday of last week, when the
annual meetings of the two societies
were held, when the society decided to
held its next state fair at White River
Junction il local society can get the
grounds there in readiness by next Sep
TENDER. To understand the nature of
the trouble 1t will be necessary to go
back little. For number of years the
state fair was run on wheels, being held
one year at Montpelier, the next at Brat.
tleboIo and so on. Residents in the
Champlain valley bacame dissatisfied
with the manner in which the fair was
conducted and decided in 1889 to start a
rival institution with a stock company
as basis. The stock was placed on the
mari et and the site selected on the east
side of the railroad just south OF the
Howard Park. When a meeting was
held of the stockholders for the purpose
Of organizing it was found that the state
society had gobbled up the majority Of
the stock through its directors, who also
held an option on the proposed fair
grounds. Il was too late for the men be-
hind the project to back out 30 a COM
promise was effec ed, The association
was TO go on with the preparations OF
the grounds and the state fair would be
held there on this basis, The state so
ciety would pay the association 4 per
cent. on the plant, provided one-halt OF
the net receipts was sufficient for that
purpose, toward the use of the grounds
and the association was to have half the
net proceeds. II there was loss it was
to be borne by the association. The
capital stock was $25, 900 and bonds to
the amount CT $4,000 were issued and
sold, half Of which were taken by Col.
onel LeGrand B. Cannon and half by
the state society. The fair called the
joint exhibition has been held under the
arrangement up to the present time
The association put out in the meantime
several thousand dollars in improve
ments so that the Howark Park, repre-
sents an investment of $4,000, and ii
paid two of its bonds, leaving the bond
ed Indebtedness $4,000. The net proceeds
of the last fair we're 1894 70. Under
this above arrangement it is not surpris
ing that some Of the directors became
somewhat mixed as to the financial re-
lations of the two organizations, and al
last years meeting the Hon. II. G Root
of Bennington and G. NJ, Spaulding of
this city were appointed committee to
investigate the matter. The committee
decided that it would be the easiest solu.
ton of the problem for the association,
Of which the state society owns half OF
the stock, to take the net proceeds here
after and apply the money.to the indebt-
edness, and this arrangement was
agreed to by both organizations. If the
state fair goes east of the mountains the
association will hold fair at Howard
park. The old board of Directors were
reelected practically with the excep-
ton of filling vacancies, as were the OF
icers. A.G Peirce of Burlington succeeds
B. J. Derby, now in Denison, Texas, as
president of the Champlain Valley AS

hoped that with the return of sunshine

greatly appreciated. He is one Of Mrs.

The series of meetings being conduct

afternoons and evening during this

interest manifested on Sunday evening
than heretofore, although all of the

Honored Father After my duty
take this opportunity to write to you
hoping these few lines will find you
well, as through the goodness OF God
they leave me and my family. We met
with great deal Of trouble on the 16tb,
instant, myself and brother John, were
preserved through very hot battle.
We killed and took according to the
best account we can get, about one
thousand of the enemy; our loss was
about thirty or forty. We marched
right up against their breastworks, with
our small arms, where they fred upon
us with their field pieces every half a
minute yet they never touched man
with them. We drove them out of their
breastworks% and took their cannon and
pursued and killed great numbers of
them, Your dutiful son until
death, JOSEPH RUDD.
There were no breastworks in the
second engagement. @. W.R.

TGath, in Cincinnati Enuuirer.l

[Gath, in Cincinnati Enquirer
The elections are supposed to have
put to rest President Harrison's chan
ces for denomination. 1t would be
hard to find anybody to whom he has
given actual satisfaction, unless it
might be some earnest pastors of Pres
byterian churches and possibly Mr.
Wanamaker. He has had bis own
way since he was President, has been
at no time forced from his intentions,
and has had his nominations con-
firmed. Nevertheless, combined
want of both policy and temperament
has operated to multiply the troubles
of his political supporters without at
taching anybody to some specially
heroic point in the Chief Magistrate.
With more capacity to formulate good
phrases, and with probably a more in
tnitive knowledge of the law than
President Hayes, Harrison is much
less of an idealist than Hayes and has
less sincerity at heart the public de-
sires and enthusiasts. He appears to
supply in place of the public faculty,
sort of a religious self-compensation.
HAYES was not much of a church man,
and loved to walk and to read, and
was fair pupil of his day and gene
ration. He was in the habit of look
ing up to others and to pass to states,
men for precedents. Nearly every
body who has lived in the United
States prior to President Hayes, and
who had been influential, commanded
his homage and reverence. But Har-
rison, Icing descended from ancestors,
does not seem to be required to rever-
euce anybody in especial. He is con
siderably affected by his small family,
Icy his daughters baby, by his son,
who went to dine with Queen Victoria
and by his wife His motto would
seem to he that of the old nursery
rhyme:
God bless me and my wife,
My son, Joe and his wife
Us four and no more.
