A VALUABLE ROSE.
sale of a Specimen Developed at Rutland
for $1,000.

The late DR.. Goldsmith of Rutland was a
successful amateur florist. He paid little
heed to the conventionalities of the business,
and branched out on original lines that often
produced surprising effects in Horticulture,
one of which has just materialzed richly.
Over 10 years ago DR.. Goldsmith raised a
rose bush from the seed of an unusually
large and hearty plant in his possession. He
transpanted it i'll the spring, kept it careful
ly inthe house duringthe winter till it grew
to be a hardy shrub But in spite of a rich
and constantly changed soil it never bios
somed. SO one day Dr.. Goldsmith pulled it
up and gave it to George w. Woodhouse of
Rutland. Everything was done to bring
the rose to bloom, and finally after more
than decade of existence the plant came
ont in red roses such as had never been seen
before. The color was deep red, and they
were large and handsome; people sought
shoots and several offers were made for the
plant. Mr.. Woodhouse named it the MARY
Woodhouse' after daughter who had died.
He sold it Monday for $4,000 to Pitcher &
Manda of Shot Hills, n. j.

WHAT ABOUT CIDER ?


The farmers of the State are not little
exercised over the action of the last Legisla-
ture which places fermented cider with the
list of intoxicints The law as now amend
ed reads:
No person shall, except as otherwise spe-
cially provided. manufacture, sell. furnish
or give away, by himself, clerk, servant or
agent. spirtuouS or Intoxicating liquor or
mixed liquor of which part is spirituous or
Intoxicating, or malt liquors or lager beer :;
and the phrase ''mtoXicating liquors where
it occurs in this chapter shall he held to in
cludc such liquors aud beer and fermented
cider"
There can be but one hope left the farmer
under this law: and that is to sell his cider
when new, or else keep it until age turns it
into vinegar. Attorneys are agreed ON this
subject, The farmer who has held his cider
for rise in the price will lave to store it
for some time or else violate the law in sell
ling it, 1t is thought vinegar will be cheap
next summer.

THEY KILLED A BEAR.


While John Newman, one of the Old veterans
at the Vermont Soldiers Home and Edwin
klwell were hunting in glastonbury last
week. they discovered bear tracks in the
snow and traced them to a small den. Feel
ing satisfied that larger game than they HAD
started out to hunt was in the den, they
went down to the little hamlet a couple OF
miles distant and got Charles Silver to aid
them in digging it out. Returning with
proper TOOLS they began operations, while
one was using an axe, bears paw was
reached ont and grasped it, when Elwell put
the contents of his shot gun into the den.
He had shot and killed the owner of the
paw. which was large black bear weigh

manufactured the celebrated Buckye mower
are about to extend their business to West

limited in the territory and have confined
their sales TO the territory east of the Green

ed such high reputation and their sales in
creased so much that they have decided to
enter new fields and will shortly send their
travelling agent, Mr.. f. r. Gray, through

hanging about the smoulderng sparks.
