BUTTER AND CHEESE.

Commissioner Valentine has formu-
lated blanks for procuring the industrial
statistics provided for IN the act creating
the commission of agricultural and man
ufacturing interests. Strangely enough,
as we are informed, butter and cheese
do not appear among the articles the ex-
tent of whose production it is desired to
ascertain, an omission that should be
remedied in some Waterman.
To this the Commissioner replied uu-
der date of March Esd, and as it is of i'm.
portsnce to all the listers, we give his
words in full as follows
81 notice your remarks relating to the
omission of butter and cheese from the
blanks.
at was the intention to make the
blanks as simple as possible and include
nothing about which information could
be obtained as easily elsewhere, and it
occurred to me that the information
concerning butter and cheese could be
more easily and correctly obtained from
the Dsirymen's Association and the
United States census.
THE cheese and butter factories are
covered by the Manufacturers Schedule.
1.-The omission of this item may prove
a mistake, but if so, there are two years
in which to obtain the information
sought, and any deficiency in this years
reports we will try to supply in the year
1890.
II have requested criticism, and am
thankful for any suggestion which may
occur to the editors in the State"
Since the above was written, there has
been supplemental circular sent to the
listers, in which they are requested to
give the butter and cheese statistics 9th.
er than the creameries which report on
the Manufacturers Scheduled" and 80
the point appears to be fully covered.
Also, that leading productions be noted
in blanks where there are no crops
specially named.

Manchester.

An event of moro than usual interest
in Manchester this week, was the obser-
vance OF the golden wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. George P. Felt, During their 80
years residence in Manchester. they
have made many friends who we're un
willing TO let this anniversary pass by
unnoticed. Theirs was dual celebration
of this interesting and quite rare event.
The first gathering was at the home of
their son, o. G. Felt, in the village, on
the 25th inst. The house was filed
with friends and relatives who gave
many kind expressions of their esteem
for the bride and groom of 80 years ago.
During the evening, on behalf OF the
friends present the venerable DR.. ]. D.
Wickham presented them with beautl-
full bouquet, the center OF which was
set with gold, a dollar for each year Of
their welded life. The groom feelingly
responded, after which "Blest be the
Tie" was heartily sung. A bountiful
repast was provided for this occasion by
Mr.. and Mrs. o. G. Felt. OF the six liv.
ing children, four were present, besides
a number of grandchildren.
On Tuesday evening the neighbors of
Mr.. and Mrs. Felt assembled at their
residence between the two villages, to
make merry over the event. The
gathering wac in charge of committee
of the neighbors, who provided the col
lation, and as farther expression OF
their esteem. presented handsome tea
set of 81 pieces. An object of much in
terest was the dress of the bride, which
was shown at both gatherings Every
thing passed off smoothly and gave
much joy to the aged couple, and salts
faction to their friends.

BENNINGTON. VERMONT
Thursday Afternoon, March rs, 1889.

The Geographic note by webb" OF
the Boston Jorundl, which we COPIED
last week, seemed 10 consider IL settleo
that Editor Benedict of Burlington wac
to have the Vermont GollecGorship. We
are inclined to think that this remark oil
the veteran Washington correspondent
is premature, for it appears to US that
Col. M. S. Colburn Of this county has a
fair fighting chance. While the friends
of Col. Colburn have not made as much
noise about their expectations as several
others, yet they have been steadily al
work, and the coloners name goes for
ward with very strong backing. AS
to his fitness for the responsible position
no one has the least doubt, and II great
executive ability and unflinching party
service, coupled with integrity, count
for anything, our candidate will receiv.
due consideration. Burlington has long
monopolized the sppointees OF this office,
and there is no good reason why this
section of the State should not be recog-
ni7ed by the administration. Benning-
ton county, in the crucial period of the
last campaign, increased the Republican
majority by percentage which, had II
been realized in Burlington and other
portions of the State, would have as
sured Republican majority of 33, 600,
while the actual figures were only about
$1,000. To Col, Colburn and his friends
here, who are endorsing him, is the
credit due for the record our county
made in the campaign of 1888. We
commend these facts to the gentlemen
whom it then most concerned and ask
their recognition Of results in the ap-
pointment Of Col. Colburn to the collect
orship of the port of Burlington. And
in 90 doing we do not wish to say augtt
against the three candidates in Burling
ton alone, or the other gentleman from
the east side of the State.

To Merchants, Butchers and Produce
DeRIerR,

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.. Page furnishes money, without
charge for interest, to all who can give
good guaranty that the money will not
be diverted or misappropriated.
The Shoe and Leather Reporter, New
York, and Shoe and Leather Review,
Chicago, the Leading trade papers of the
U. S. in the Hide line, have sent their
representatives to investigate Mr.. Pages
business, and after a thorough examin-
alton and comparison the Reporter gives
him this endorsement
I'VE believe that in extent of light
weight raw material collected and car
ried, Mr.. Page holds the lead of any
competitor and that his pres mt stock is
the largest held by any house in this
country"
And the RerietU says
AFTER most thorough investigation
of Mr.. Pages business as compared
with others in the same line, we have
become fully satisfied that in his spec
ialty, lightweight stock, he is unques-
tionably the largest dealer in this coun-
try, while in superiority of quality he is
confessedly at the head"

for terms to buyers, naming this paper

ENGINEER ROBERT CLARK.

This old and respected resident of
Bennington died at a little past II
o'clock Sunday night, after an illness OF
few hours. Heart failure is said to
have been the cause of death. Mr..
Clark was not feeling well during the
afternoon, and when five o'clock came
anu the church bell rang, concluded not
to attend as he had anticipated doing.
He was to have been confirmed in St.
Peters Church last Tuesday evening /;
and In place of going to EvensoDg took
his Prayer Book and read over the ser.
vice including that for confirmation.
Later, the doctors visit did not dis
cover any critical symptoms 30 that his
departure was very sudden. The funer-
al is to be held tomorrow afternoon, un.
der the auspices of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, the Rev. VIM.
B. Walker, officiating. The obsequi 8
will be at the house at 8 o'clock Mr.
Clark, as will be remembered, survived
his wife but few months, and leaves
two daughters and one son Miss Allie
Clark Mrs. Fred N. Squire, and Joseph
Clark of Colorado. The latter comes on
and expects to reach Bennington tomor-
row morning. Deceased would have
been 72 years OF age June l4th, 1889, and
was born in England.
Last year we published a biography
Of Mr.. Clark. He was one of the oldest
railway engineers IN America, and the
story Of his life is that OF varied expert
ences. He was identified with the Troy
and Boston railroad from its establish
ment in 1852 until the year 1886 Pre-
vious to serving the Troy and Boston
road, deceased was employed on the
Ftchburg road. He ran the first engine
over the Troy and Boston road, and was
know to nearly every railroad man in
the State. Mr.. Clark ran his engine up
to three years ago, when he was retired
on account Of old age. An efficient rail-
road man, his prolonged services attested
the confidence intrusted TO him by his
employers and II is most fitting that the
Brotherhood Of which he is a veteran
should assist in the last offices.

tation was received from Hon. Redfeld

whose average age is eighty years; one

She was the mother of seven children
four of whom, a son and three daugh-

assumed all of its responsibilities, and

A NEW WHITE HOUSE.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Press writes
Three or four times during the past
decade the Senate has adopted bills max.
ing appropriations for the construction
of family residence for the President,
The sums named for the building and
it's furnishing have varied from $3.50, 900
to $75, 200. One or two Of the bills have
provided for the purchase Of ground in
the suburbs, the bills on the northern
boundary being in mind, while the 9TH
ers have contemplated the construction
of building on the Park square, imme'
diately north of and across Pennsylvania
Avenue from the White House.
The venerable Senator Morrill, of Yer
mont has two or three times advocated
the construction of family residence
for the President, presenting plans for
it and speaking in its behalf, and he will
probable renew his efforts again at the
session of Congress. Every
day the necessity Of such provision is
more and more seen, not altogether on
account of the cramped condition Of thu
family of the President in its present
quarters and the unhealthy condition Of
the old building, but on account of the
nc cessity OF more room in which to
transact the public business. There has
been complete Encouragement Of the
rooms for the clerks at the White, 80 as
to utilize all the room to the best posi-
Bile advantage, and yet all are crowded,
Two clerks have been put out in the tele-
graph Office, while another one is at
work in one of the outer waiting rooms.
There is no privacy for the President,
his private secretary or any one. The
space on the second floor is occupied,
every inch Of it. Now that there is q
surplus, a necessity and a Republican
majority, it is proposed to take action
for the building of private residence
for the Executive family,
