To the Editor of the Free Press
You recently published an article entitled
"Our Present Needs " VIII YOU allow me
to mention few Of the present griefs of the
Vermont farmer? The article referred to
called for a home market. What is the use
of n home market if we cannot utilize it /?
What benefit is thriving village or city to
the surrounding agricultural section il it
does not afford a ready market at the high
est cash price for the products of the soil ?
Why need Burlington business houses COM
plain that the farmers do not patronize
them while they are living mostly upon
Western products Let them realize that
it is upon the sale of his products that the
farmer depends for cash. What are the
poor Swedes going to do for cash if they all
come here destitute with the expectation Of
raising a crop and turning it for winter
supplies As his crops mature he COOS to
the nearest village to market them and finds
that he has got to sell in competition with
the former owners of Ncrmont's abandoned
farms who went West and joined with the
railroad companies
They brought their land at about the
price their old farmsin Vermont arc now
offered at and are cultivating the same Civ
ing the railroads more them half the crops
for transporting than 20 the Eastern mar
kcts. The poor Swede is in trouble and
some one says buy some stock and feed out
your crops. He tries that plan and buys a
few head of cattle, sheep, pigs, etc, and
feeds out his crops. In the spring he goes
to the village TO sell his beef and pork, and
finds to MS dismay that the meat men are
paying from one to two dollars per cut,
more for beef that is dre.s ed in the West

Pnrson ErItCh'S Sucrcssnr

Jonathan B. George, of r, amstown, this
county, has been elected pastor of the
Reformed congregation of the Allegheny
church, in Berks county. This Is the church
OF which Rev. Fritch, arrested for larceny,
was the pastor Rev. George was chosen
by majority of two and his election was
a great surprise. Rov. A. =. Horne, of
Summit Hill, Carbon county, expected to
be chosen without opposition. Rev George,
who is now supplying the Reamstown
charge, is graduate of Franklin and
Marshall college and of the theological
seminary, and is an excellent speaker.
The action may probably result in the
breaking up of the Allegheny charge, and
the other three churches in il will now
elect pastors until all are supplied. The
Gouglersville church will elect a pastor
next Sunday, when Rev. s. $. Sweityer,
who is the choice of the congregation, will
be elected.

REVOLT IN MAINE.
Many Anti Prohibition Republican
SuppOrtlnQ the Democratic Ticket.

Many Anti Prohibition Republicans
supporting the Democratic Ticket.
The great mass convention of Maine men
who believe that the present prohbitory
law Is a failure and its enforcement farce
was called TO assemble in Bangor, on Tues
day, but did not materialize. The call was
Issued directly following the first Demo-
cratic state convention, which refused To
place license plank in its platform, but
since the second convention, which took a
stand for local option and high license,
the hackers of the independent movement
have quietly ceased operations.
The principal orginators Of the license
movement are all Republicans and ono of
them said to-day that while they did not
consider the Democratic arrangement of
the prohibtory law sufficiently strong II
would not be feasible to nominate sepa.
rate license ticket.
I'VE believe" he said, " that William Z.
Thompson, the Democratic candidate,
combines every needful qualification 10
make the state of Maine successful chief
magistrate, and furthermore that he can be
depended upon to devote his efforts TO
changing the existing conditions of tho
liquor traffic. We shall vote for him aud
cannot see how any Republican can fail TO
do otherwise.
These sentiments are being expressed oil
over the state, aud "a number of Republican
papers are exhibiting license views. The
i1soPupitS"h parry ibhu"HttS uIt tuOTOuKuly
alarmed mt the turn affairs have taken, and
are making arrangements for vigorous
campaign and for whipping the back sliders
into line. Congressman Boutelle has been
making his second weeks visit at home
Formulating campaign plans, and the state
committee arc raising large fund for tho
battle. Strange to relate, the liquor dealers
IN the city are solidly arrayed with the
Republicans fighting for prohibition, and
this tells striking story in favor of high
license.
In proof Of the anxiety of tho Republican
state committee 1t is understood that the
strongest pressure is being brought TO bear
upon Secretary Blaine who is resting at
Bar Harbor, To take the stump aud aid In
pulling out victory. IL is said that he is
reluctant TO undertake so much hard work,
but the committee is appealing to him as
the only one who can successfully stem the
license tide. The Democrats are raising
no fund whatever for their campaign, but
are confident that prohibition will receive
great setback at the September election.

Miss sellers Butchered in the Presence
of Her Affianced.
North Carolina has a Jack the Ripper,
and the people of Robson county are
hunting every nook and corner of that
section for him. Unlike the famous Ripper
OF London the name of this fiend is known
aud descriptions of him are posted at
many places. He is Simon Ward, man
OF notorious reputation, whose record Is
stained with crime. Last Sunday he muir
was engaged to be married to a young
man named Crawford, but Ward is sthought
70 have had q secret passion for her
sunday morning Crawford and the girl
started TO walk TO church. They had gone
only short distance when Ward came out
from some bushes near the roadside and
ordered Crawford TO leave the girl. Craw-
ford hesitated, but was finally driven away.
lie did not go far, but secreted himself In
the bushes near by.
From his hiding-place Crawford could
see and hear all that passed between Ward
ana Miss Sellers Ward wanted the girl
to go 10 the church with him, and when
she determined not TO do so Ward, be-
coming enraged, swore he would drag her
there.
She turned and started TO run away from
him. Ward, now fully enraged, drew a
razor from his pocket and made lunge at
her, sending the sharp blade deep into her
throat. Miss Sellers fell to the ground
Ward pounced upon her and began to
sever the head from her body. This ghastly
work he accomplished, and picking up the
head wnh the blood dripping from it he
viewed II with tiendsh look of delight
then tossing it aside he walked leisurely
away.
Crawford, being unarmed, was afraid 10
make his presence known and stood and
saw the woman he expected soon to make
his wife, butchered like dog. He rushed
ON aud gave the alarm and soon mob was
securing the woods and swamps for the
murderer. So far he has succeeded in
syAding capture. lie will be lynched as
noon rs he is caught.

A SCHOOL TREASURER APPEAf.s.

The Township Auditors surcharge film
For Taking Too Much salary.
B. Il. Brandt, treasurer of the RapO
township school board, has appealed from
the finding Of the auditors OF the township
gurcharging him with one-fourth OF one
per cent. Of the money he received a. treas
urer, retained by him as part Of his salary.
Under the school law the compensation Of
treasurers Of school boards shall not exceed
2pcr cent. ofthe receipts. When Mr.. Brandt
was elected the board fixed his compensa-
tion at one and fourth per cent, aud for
that sum he agreed 10 serve. He fiied
his account In due form and AT the proper
time and claimed as a credit one and q
fourth per cent. TO which he was entitled for
his labor, In accordance with the agree
ment made at the time Of the election.
When the auditors went over the ac-
counts they concluded ono per cent. was
sufficient compensation and they sur
charged him with the one-fourth of one
per cent. OF the receipts. He believes this
surcharge to be unjust and promptly ap-
pealed. The appeal was entered In the
prothonotary's Office, this afternoon. Judge
Patterson allowed tho appeal and approved
the bond Of Mr.. Brandt, that being requi-
site before the appeal could be entered.
