BONNEVILLE.
GRAHAMYILLE INVADED.


Our usual quiet little hamlet was
invaded about 10 o'clock ON the eve
ming of March 10th, by Canadians
from Manchester. They made their
head quarters at the house of French
family, now under the care of our
worthy overseer of the poor. The
reason why they chose this time was
because the house was without any
defence, the men being confined in
Rutland against their will. We UNI
derstand they were armed with re-
volvers aud had blood in their eve.
We understand, also, their movements
were made with great secrecy, not
even their wives were allowed to
know where they were going but sup
posed they were at the Green Mount
ain House doctoring sick horse.
we are happy TO record that no lives
were lost as the people generally kept
within doors. We also understand
that the captain of the company is o
member of the Baptist church Of
Manchester, and is humane man.
Now if this is an attempt to anneS
Vermont to Canada it won't work
and if another attempt is made force
will be met with force and a mark
will be placed upon the invaders 81
that it will be hard for their bes
friends to tell whether they are horse
doctors, canucks or turkeys.

Ii Hung Chang is reported as saying:
Before half a century has passed China
will be covered with railways as with a
net. Its immense mineral resources will
be developed. 1t will have rolling mills
and furnaces in many parts of the
country, and it is not impossible that it
may do the manufacturing for the world. .
The viceroy is exceedingly sanguine, but
there is no immediate reason for Ameri-
can and European manufacturers being
frightened at the prospect of the compe-
tition of the Flowery Kindom. A place
once lost is rarely recovered. The Chinese
were once the leaders of the world, and
fell behind in the race. 1t is not likely
that they will again take the lead. Turkey
was once in advance of Europe. Rail
