Mr.. \. Il. IIallett of Spencer Mass,
who bought of Mr.. O. Severance the
stallion Flying Motion by Motion, writes
that his horse, now four years old, took
second premium at the New England fair
in September and first at the local fair.
This animal is full brother to the two
year-old which Messrs. Brewster and

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER u, 1889.
GOOD ROADS,

The Engineering News, speaking of
the miserable quality of the country
roads over the larger part of the United
States, says that "permanent roads, good
all the year round, cannot be built in a
day or year; but to have them at all
the whole system must be remodeled and
the location, construction and mainte-
nance put into the hands of men trained
to the business and responsible for their
condition, that is, in the hands of en-
gineers."
The Engineers theory is excellent:
but before the roads it describes are con-
structed, in the manner it recommends
or in any other, the communities in
terested must be aroused to the necessity
for such roads and must be made willing
to pay for their construction and main
tenance. There is no trouble in having
decent highways, even in Addison coun-
ty clay, if towns will put the requisite
money into them. Middlebury, New
Haven and Ripton have shown what can
be done in this direction; Shoreham is
moving in the right way, and all over
the county there is feeling growing
that something ought to be accomplished
toward the betterment of highways. 1t
is hopeful sign.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Robert Bonner has become the owner
of the phenomenal Sunol, whose remark
able performances are detailed in the
Horse Department.
A subscriber at Richmond, Va, has
taken to sending us clippings from South
ern papers giving blood-curdling ac
counts of crimes committed by negroes.
One of the last batch we notice is signed
"NNN," which seems to indicate that
these yarns are branded, like barrels of
Kentucky whisky, probably for the en-
couragement of correspondents, and that
this is a particularly good one.
Two prominent Kentuckians, both
Republicans, too, met by accident in the
post-office at Lexington, Friday, and,
not being on amicable terms, pitched into
one another. One received several bad
cuts and died on the spot, while the
other was shot, but survived only till
Sunday. Col. C. Nj. Goodloe, member
of the Republican national committee,
was one of them, and the other was
wi. "a NJ OWopC'
The postmaster at Louisa, Ky, was in
formed how the Ohio election had gone,
as will appear by his telegram to the
postmaster-general,w which follows: "My
office was, this morning, completely de-
molished, being the work of a few per-
sons wanting to let the postmaster here
know how Ohio had gone politically.
They used high explosives, dynamite
and other cOmbustibles, caved in the
front door, broke every window in front
of building, threw open shutters, and
this morning find my office of little or
no protection to United States mails,
pouches or money order deposits, this
being a distributing office. The finding
of guilty parties will be an easy task for
a detective force"

Jabez Rogers and wife of Ferrisburgh
celebrated their golden wedding last
week and held "A largely attended recep-
ton. There were II ladies and gentle
men of the party whose united ages
amounted to 996 years and six that
averaged over so years.
While Mrs. n. McQuivey and her
daughter. Mrs. Deane, were crossing
Rochester mountain, says Bread Loaf
correspondent of an exchange, they met
four bears in the road and as it was a
lonely place and as the bears seemed to
be in no hurry the ladies were con-
siderably frightened. But the bears soon
left the road for piece of woods near
by. DR.. Powers while crossing the
mountain from Hancock also saw the
bears near the road.

judicious man, would try to drive out of
walk; in fact, about as near the old
clay road that existed before the stone
road was builded as it would be possible
to construct on top of the stone. What
the explanation of this move may be, un-
less our road-makers were yearning for
the good old times of clay roads, remains
a mystery. Probably the road needed a
light coat of gravel; if so, the road on
the east side of the brook near by shows
that good gravel was accessible; for that
road, with its coat of gravel, has stood
for years and is perfect road, while the
other is an abomination. Happily the
season for road-making is now about
over. TRAVELLER.

THE CRIME OF CRIMFs.

President Sanderson of the State
Teachers association is getting no end
of abuse from the State press because he
said in his annual address that Superin-
tendent Palmer's 'qualifications for the
position are not at least a pre-eminent
knowledge of the science of education,
nor large experience with the education
al needs of the State;" and that the
county supervisors "earnest, energetic
and enthusiastic though they may be,
still are largely drawn from the ranks of
men who have not as yet taken high
place among the educators of the State. ''
Every blessed word. of this is true; but
Mr.. Sanderson ought to have lived in
Vermont long enough to know that
criticism of the powers that be is the
colossal crime of crimes in this State

AT BELDEN'S FALLS.


The company which came into posses
sion of the Belden's Falls property early
in the fall Is making excellent headway,
though much remains to be done before
winter sets in. The marble mill is up and
covered. Part of the floor is laid and the
foundations for the saws and rubbing
beds are in, while the larger portion of
the machinery is on the ground, ready to
be erected as soon as the building is fin
ished. The side-track leading down from
the main line of the railroad to the east
side of the mill is partially completed.
As we have heretofore stated, the mill is
in the hollow under the ledge on which
the old mill stood, so that new siding
had to be built. 1t leaves the main track
something more than 100 rods south of
the mill and goes down the back side of
the cliff. The soil is the toughest kind of
clay but half dozen teams with wheel
scrapers move good deal of it in a day.
1t will take number of days of fair
weather to get the road-bed in shape for
the iron. There is also large amount
of grading to be done about the mill.
Nearly all the trees have been cut of the

was possible ever before besides enabling us
to carry very much larger stock of Pianos

concern outside the large cities.
The Estey Piano still continues growing in
favor, and II is safe to say that already more
OF them are being used in Rutland than of any
other one make, which is a signifinant fact,
year ago since they were first introduced
here. The Decker Brothers Pianos, which
we control, need no comments from us. This
piano stands hrst among musicians every
where, and everybody knows il. We also
control the Behr Brothers s. Piano which is well
and tavorably known in this locality In this
piano is combined all of the best qualities OF
other makes, besides possessing several i'm
portant features OF its own, which makes ii
the most desirable moderate priced piano now
manufactured. We cary full line of these
pianos and invite comparison. Besides the
pianos mentioned we have number of cheap
er makes which are reliable and give splend-
id satisfaction, and now we can truly say we
are in a position where we can defy competi-
tion from any and all sources. We carry a tull
line OF the world renowned Estey Organs in
