STATE FAIR NOTES.

The attendance was not quite as good
as last year.
The most noticeable feature was the
entire exclusion of all games of chance
and intoxicating liquors from the ground
A good move due to President Geo. w.
Hooker. The exhibit of cattle was mea-
ger, that of horses the best we ever saw.
There was good showing of sheep.
Floral Hall was not as good as many
County fairs, being mainly used by Bur
lington merchants for advertising purpos-
es. The trotting the first and third
days was very good and the best feature
of the fair. There was a large show of
vegetables, machinery, etc. One of the
most noticeable departments in Floral
Hall was the music exhibit, II. W. Hall
of Burlington and j. +. Waterman of
Montpelier being the principal exhibit
ors. The latter exhibited the Conover
upright pianos in beautiful English oak,
dark, rich mahogany and figured walnut
cases-the krakauer pianos in figured
walnut and ebonized, also two fine Wor-
cester organs. The exhibit although
not as large as some was finely arranged
and very attractive-the pianos shown
being the finest in style, design, finish
and tone of any we ever saw. Prof. AL
vah G.. Salmon of iBoston and Geo. II.
Wilder of Montpelier brought out the
wonderful power and exquisite tones of
these matchless pianos to the delight of
large crowds. Hereafter the Conoyer
and krakauer pianos must rank high in
the estimation of those who saw them.

A FEW SUGGESTIVE FIGURES.

There are in this state 35,522 farms
valued listers valuation) at over
S120,000,000. The value of the ma
chinery alone, used on these farms is
over S5,000,000. The live stock is
worth over S20,000,000 and these
farms annually raise over S25,0O0,0O0
Of produce. divided about as follows:
Barley, 275,000 bushels; corn, 2000,-
900; oats, 100000; wheat, 100000;
potatoes, 4,500,0O0; apples, 650,0O0,
and over 1,000,000 tons of hay are an
nually cut. Vermont has over 1900
manufacturing establishments, fur
nishing employment to over 10000
hands and the wages amount annual
ly to over S5,250,000 The value of
the finished products is over $40,
100000
Is this a showing that little State
the size of Vermont need be ashamed

is VERMONT PooR7

What are the factsl With popu-
lation of about 350,000 she has almost
10000 depositors and over S16,0O0,0OO
to their credit in her savings banks.
One in six of every man, woman,
and child has money in the bank,
besides this she has over $6,0O0,0OO
on deposit in her National Banks and
a moderate estimate places her invest
ments in the West and South at over
S75,000,000 more Poor indeed mind
you this money was made in Vermont.
Remember this is over and above the
vast sum loaned in Vermontevery dol
lar of which is Vermont money. Stop
then and think, that her people are
the hest fed. best clothed. best housed
and have more advantages than those
of any state in the Union and what is
the conclusion! Vermont is a good
state to make money in as well as to
be born and live in.

sometimes exceedingly corrupt. Per-
haps the moral condition of Vermont
will average fairly well with that of
other States. Without claiming to be
any better than the average we are not
ready to admit that we are any worse.
Vermont has good laws. Some are
open to improvement, but what is need
ed is such an interest in our laws by
the people as shall secure their enforce
ment. We are injured more by lax ex-
ecution Of law than by the quality Of
our law. But in this we will not ad
nit our inferiority to other States. We
demand as condition of prosperity
that we make an advance on our present
status. We are not specially lax in
morals, and yet we are open to improve
ment. In intelligence we compare fa-
vorably with the people of other States,
and yet we have an educational system
that is open to almost endless improve
ments. 1t may be that we are not far
behind the mass Of our fellow-meu in
the observance OF the higher duties of
religion, yet there are multitudes among
us exceedingly Indifferent in regard to
religious duties. When we talk about
booming Vermont we want TO boom it
in all these directions. Prosperity comes
from variety of sources. a good
name with a solid "backing" is worth
as much a. money.

The Poultney Journal sighs for the
good old days when we had stalwart
governors, throwing out the inference
that the present stock are mere pigmies
in comparison. We often hear it said
that "distance lends, etc" When we
have gone generation or two into the
future the governors Oh to-day will ap-
pear to men in larger outline than now.
This practice of belittling the present
is not always in good taste to say the
least. We are inclined to think that
Vermont is governed as well now as
she has ever been. The fact is men
allow their opinions to be shaped by
their preiudices and thus take away
their worth.

The question has been presented TO
Supt Palmer: Can teachers going from
one county to another have their certifi-
Gates endorsed without examination
He replies substantially that, while the
law has been silent on the point the
custom of endorsing grew up among
town superintendents, and in certain
specified instance the Supreme Court
recognized the validity of the practice.
In this condition of the law the new
statute was enacted. This new statute
in section SO allows the endorsement of
first grade certificates. BY principle
of law this would exclude the other two
grades. But under section 56 it is clear
that the holder OF second or third
grade certificate would be entitled to a
private examination, but such certifi-
cate would be good only until the next
public examination. The fact is the
Supt. does not positively answer the
question, but recommends that exam
ination papers be sent by the supervisor
the examination to the su-
pervisor asked to endorse his certificate
that the latter may look them over for
He hopes the question may
be carefully considered at the next an
nual teachers meeting soon to be held
at St. Adams. We can only infer that
the county supervisors power to en-
dorsei is limited to Observation-Disclosures. !

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY A FARM.

Mr. f. l.. Bass, secretary of the Yer
mont Dairymen's Association, advises
young men to buy Vermont farms,
and states that in ''the town of Barn
ard a good farm of 130 acres was late
ly sold for S1100, and farming tools.
including 500 tin sap buckets, thrown
in. This farm will keep 10 cows. The
buildings are in good repair, horse
barn and sugar house being built with
in two years and a house that cost
5000 20 years ago. There is an ex-
cellent orchard ON the place, and 30
barrels of choice apples were sold last
year at - per barrel; also a large
sugar orchard. from which $50 worth
of maple sweets We're sold last spring
Beside the sugar orchard there is lum-
Der enough to pay for the place when
delivered at the mill, only two miles
distant; in fact. the farm was offered
for what the lumber would sell for at
the mill, after reserving 500 sugar
trees. The location is only three mis-.
from church and store and ! mile from
school. Still this is not an exception
ally rare offer, for several equally as
desirable farms have been sold in
Barnard. and. l doubt not, in other
towns at as low figure This ought
to make mighty interesting reading for
a good many people Perhaps the

w. H. H. Murray has prepared a
course Of lectures upon some of our
modern social problems which he pro-
poses 20 deliver to expectant audiences.
Some of the papers seize upon this lit
tie circumstance and insinuate that he
himself is problem most difficult OF
solution. No doubt he is to some men
who can live only in a conventional
way. We see nothing remarkable in
Murray's career. Like many others
who feel the irksomeness of restraint
he was inclined to fly off on tangent,
and the forces that should have restrain
ed him drove him out still farther from
the common orbit of life. We presume
however, that he has done as good work
in the field he has chosen as he could
have done in any other. When we con-
slider that there are deaeons and dea-
cons we may be able to exercise great
er charity towards him without count-
ing him perfect in all things. We should
like to hear his lectures.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

They know how TO roll up big popu-
lations in the west. st. Paul has dis
covered that in Minneapolis the dogs
are entered on the directory lists. Here
is hint for the next census takers. II
all the dogs are enrolled we can swell
our population TO nearly hundred mil
lions. The trouble would be that in
the South where dogs are numerous it
would increase their congressional del
egation vastly out of proportion to the
North. Put in the dogs, it will not es-
sentially lower the average intelligence
of the voting population Of many sec
tions OF the country.

WestIalse Pos1omcn-

Announcement las been made in the
Echo that Mrs. F. G. Perkins. of
Westlake, had been removed from
Office, and Mrs. r. A. Perkins, an
old colored woman, appointed in her
stead.
1t now appears that the whole matter
grew out Of a confusion of names.
Mrs F. q. Perkins, the postmistress
maiden -Rame was Fredrica A. Coos
Having married Mr.. Reese W. Perkins
she retained her family name, and re.
eeiEed her commission as Mrs. F. G.
Perkins.
Lately she, q widow, made appliea,
ton to the Harrison administration fol
reappointment, signing her name F. A.
Perkins. The application was endorsed
by D. M. Foster, chairman of Calcasieu
Republican committee, as well as other
Republican officials of the district. A
commission was thereupon ordered to
be issued to Mrs. F. A. Perkins. A
letter came from the department at
Washington to Mrs. F. A. Perkins, in.
closing blank bond, etc., to be filled.
The old negro woman having been
informed that Mrs. F. A. Perkins was
appointed, claimed the letter and con.
tents claimed the Office and hence the
report.
The matter has again been referred
to local, leading Republicans for in.
formation, and will, in all probability
be corrected. In the meantime, Mrs.
Fredriea G. Perkins continues to man.
age the Office.
