ron Berry, was driving horse at
tached to a shaving cart, the bolt
holding the front board suddenly
dropped out and he fell between the
wheels, one of which passed over his
head above the ears and over the
forhead. Three young men were in
the cart but the fall was so instanta-
neous that no human effort could
avail in his rescue. He was picked
up unconscious and remained in that
state until about 10 o'clock Tuesday
forenoon when death ensued He
was a smart intelligent boy only 10
years old but a scholar far beyond
his years. He will be greatly missed

Advocate General Remarks

For number of successive years
Franklin county has enjoyed the dis
tinction of having furnished to the
state its Judge advocate general.
Last fall the rule was broken in the
election of Hon. H. c. Bates of ST.
Johnsbury. After having served in
this capacity for few months Gen
eral Bates, the other day, resigned,
and our old friend, F. E. Alfred of
Newport, was appointed his success
sor. AS truly as works the law of
gravitation this office was destined
to come around again to a Franklin
county boy, the Newport gentleman
who emigrated from Fairfax. Until
the st. Johnsbury people can appre-
ciate the honors freely bestowed up
on them by the state, they should
not grumble so much about what
they cannot get. General Alfred,
Franklin county salutes you ST.

To Merchants, Butchers, and Produce


Carroll S. Page, the Hyde Park, Vt,
Calf Skin dealer, wishes to arrange
with some trader or butcher in each
village to collect for him the calf skins
taken off in that vicinity.
Mr.. Pagefurnishes money, without
charge for interest, to all who can
give good guaranty that the money
will not be diverted or misapprOpri-
ated.
The Shoe & Leather Reporter, n.
Y, and Shoe & Lea Their Review, Chi
cago, the leading trade papers of the
U. S. in the hide line, have sent their
Representatives to investigate Mr..
Pages business, and after thorough
examination and comparison the Re-
porter gives him this endorsement:
Eve believe that in extent of light
weight raw material collected and
carried, Mr. Page holds the lead of
any competitor and that his present
stock is the largest held by any house
in this country"
And the Review says:
after a most thorough investiga-
ton of Mr.. Pages business as COM
pared with others in the same line,
we have become fully satisfied that
in his speciality, lightweight stock,
he is unquestionably the largest deal
er in this country, while in SUPERIOR
ty of quality he is confessedly at the
head"
Send Mr.. Page your address and
ask for terms to buyers, naming this
paper.

WHAT MULES NEWSPAPERS.

The New York Evening Post, one
of the most able of the metropolitan
independent press, has the following
editorial which will commend itself
to those country weeklies that are
striving towards independence re-
gardless of the yoke that party would
| bind upon them. OF course as soon
as an editor accepts Office his paper
is mortgaged to the party, whatever
its action; and a good many editors
mortgage themselves to party long
before the office comes, hoping some
future administration, or men in
power, will remember them more
kindly
The Chicago Tribune quotes the
Evening Posts remark that 1T is the
confirmation of an editors nomina-
ton which muzzles newspaper, and
his rejection which removes the muz-
zle," and says: This is an eminently
correct statement, as far as it goes !;
but. in making it, the Evening Post
evidently had in mind only the met
rOpolitan press, and wholly over
looked the small country newspa-
pers'' 1t explains that, with slim
patronage from the public and COM
peting with three or four rival sheets
at a county seat where there is only
support for one or two, post office
is often a blessing to a country edi-
tor" and it thinks that ''it would
be asking a great deal of the country
editor to criticiSe senator's freely and
according to his honest judgment
when a coveted post office was in
sight and he hoped to have his name
sent in to the Senate and get it
promptly confirmed" 1t is doubt
less true enough that the salary of
postmaster is often needed by the ed
itOr of a country weekly which really
has no excuse for existence, but it is
not true that political independence
is impossible to the rural press.
There are a good many country
weeklies published in New England
which express their opinions with en-
tire freedOm-such papers, for exam
pie, as the Greenfield Gazette and
Courier, the Gardner News, and the
Clinton Courant, in western Massa-
chusetts Moreover, an interesting
experiment which was tried in Yer
mont a few years ago showed that
i'll even that stronghold of hide-bound
partisanship republican newspaper
of ability and standing might refuse
to support an unworthy candidate,
as the ST. Johnsbury Californian did
in 1884, and still, by sheer force of its
merits as a weekly journal, survive
all the assaults made upon it, and
emerge into greater prosperity than
before the trial. The Tribune is I'M
just to the editors Of country week
lies when it intimates that they can
not be independent.

Candidates for Postmaster.

A new candidate for postmaster
came into the field last week. 7. S.
Butter agrees, if appointed, to keep
the office entirely separate from any
other business. 1t is probable that
a caucus will be called to settle the
matter, as there are at least four can
didates for the Office, each having a
considerable following. Meanwhile
the public is being well served by the
present incumbent, whose conduct of
the office gives entire satisfaction to
everybody, but the fact remains that
he is a wicked democrat, which inca
pacitates him for the Office. The
principal candidates for the office are
