Notes of the Fair.

Notes of the Fair.
The attendance the first day was
rather small and the receipts only
$1S5.
The judges of premiums are L. E.
Packer, secretary of the National
American Horse Breeders associa-
ton, and R. w. Goodrich Of Poult-
ney. The judges for the races are
c. A. Chapman of Ferrisburgh and
w. E. Peck of st. Johnsburv.
The last Horse Breeder has a fine
cut of Onward, the noted Wilkes
stallion. Onward has son at the
fair in Jesuit owned by Emmett Hill
l.. c. Darling is the agent for this
popular horse paper.
The track is very dusty and heavy
and good records must not be expec-
ted at this meeting.
Factory Boy has been on the track
quite frequently and is the cynosure
of all eyes. Charles Taylor, his octo-
genarian driver, is frequent visitor
here, and in years gone by used to
drive Snowflake at our county
fairs.
Katisha, owned by Burbank &
Williams, trotted to the fastest four
year-old record on this side of the
mountain. Mr. Williams showed
her full sister Lottie Franklin a half
mile last year in 371a seconds. These
make we'll matched pair.
Among the horses shown on the
track Tuesday afternoon were Lam
bert B., 2.3S, and Helen NJ, 2.2S,
the holder of the two-year-old record,
Emmett Hills Jesuit, the famous
Abdallah Wilkes, and Waymont,
owned by o. E. Webster of Canada.
The latter horse is brother to Belle
Hamlin, 2.12A. B. F. Haviland
drove a matched pair which excited
much admiration and Lambert B.
trotted half mile in fine shape.

Republican Legislatures of so many and
expensive laws, and especially those re-

That we also indorse and pledge our

Hon. T. ]. Boynton of Montpelier
was then introduced and his speech,
which was frequently applauded,
was somewhat as follows:
After all possible fault had been
found with President Cleveland, after
every little flaw had been picked to
pieces, after his appointments had
been censured and unfavorably crlt1-
| cised, his administration stands to-
day the cleanest and best of any
for many years. To the secretary of
state we owe much that was done in
the secretary of the navy we owe
what we now have of n navy. Since
1868 the republicans have advocated
civil service reform, but they have
never practised it. President Har-
rison has given two fat Offices to his
two brothers, another to Russell B.
Harrison, while his sonin-law,
Mckee, came in for a fourth. Cor
poral Tanner gave clerkship worth
$500 a year to his daughter. In
our own state Supt. Palmer chose
his wife clerk and paid her with state
money and so on ad infinitum.
In 1859 it cost $150,O0O to run
the state of Vermont, but now, with
out any perceptible increase in popu-
lation, it costs 100000. Gov.
Chittenden was paid $1,000 year,
but Gov. Dillingham; is paid $500.
$1,000 and each associate justice
5000 a year, but it now takes $4,000
each The salary of the secretary of
state has been raised from $500 to
$500 including fees. New Offices
have been created, bridges built,
roads made and one thing after an
other appropriated for until a deficit
stares us in the face.
The republicans have always made
protection to infant industries a pet
argument, but they are now protect
ing numberless infants yet unborn.
A duty is put on tin plate to protect
the farmer when not a dollars
worth of that material is manufac
tured in this country. Eggs are pro-
tected when not enough eggs are inn
ported annually to furnish each man
in the United States one omelet once
a year. Farmers are protected by a
duty on grains of which only an in
significant amount are imported and
that for the farmers for a change of
seed. You farmers that make sugar
are to be protected by a bounty of
two cents a pound, but do you know
that your sugar must contain So
per cent of saccharine matter? In
order to meet the test your sugar
must be stirred down dry and the
water, which you have been accus-
toned to sell for eight and nine cents
a pound, is boiled out for the sake of
that two cent bounty. Farmers,
you are wonderfully benefited by the
tariff.

years and nine months. Mr. Warner
was born in Derry, N. H., and began
business in FrancOnia, n. H., where
he worked in the foundry. He came
to st. Johnsbury about so years ago
and was for many years foreman of
the machine shop at the scale works,
being succeeded at this post by the
late Thomas Spooner. About 40
years ago he built the house at the
foot of Summer street now owned
and occupied by Charles H. Horton.
When this house was built 1T was the
first in that neighborhood, and

OF the house. After leaving the scale
works he went into the manufactur-
ing business below the depot, and for
many years was an extensive

LEAF FROM THE STANLEY BOOK.
In Stanley's new book "In Darkest
Africa" he tells the public for the
first time just why he was called
back to Africa, and the telegram re-
ceived in St. Johnsbury, just a few
hours before he lectured, is there
printed. 1t was understood at the
time that Stanley was summoned by
the King of Belgium and the public
were left somewhat in the dark as to
the object of his recall. This, how
ever, is all cleared up in the following
page of his new book:
Early in October, 1886, Sir William
Mackinnon and J.. F. Hutton, ex-
president of the Manchester Chamber
of Commerce, had spoken with me
respecting the possibilities of convey
ing relief to Emin, with a view to en-
able him to hold his own. To them
it seemed that he only required am
munition, and shared their opinion,
and they were very earnest In their
intention to collect funds for the sup
port he required. But many of their
friends were absent from town, and
they could not decide alone what
should be done without consultation.
We discussed estimates and routes,
and Mr. Hutton informs me that the
rough estimate l furnished him then
exceeds $500 (pounds) the actual
cost of the expedition.
AS the middle of November drew
near, Sir William Mackinnon request
ed me to write him letter upon the
subject that he might show it to his
friends who would soon be returning
to town. \ few days after the de-
spatch of the letter, sailed for Amer
ica, and on arrival at New York, the
lecture "Tour as it is called, COM

All day Sunday our townspeople
were looking for the Sioux City corn

here until Monday morning at 3
O'Clock. There was quite a crowd at
the depot to see it but they were all
badly sold. The corn decorations
had all disappeared on the journey
and the only thing unusual about
the Wagner vestibule train was a

RELIGION IN THE BACK TOWNS.

RELIGION IN THE BA OK TOWNS.
Rev. c. H. Merrill of this place has
an article in the Quill" a new Yer
mont monthly to be issued next
week at st. Adams, upon the decay
of religious sentiment in rural COM
munities Mr. Merrill clearly proves
that religion i'll the smaller towns
has more than kept pace with the
progress of the state in all lines of
improvement. The article has an
encouraging tone and will be read
with interest. Here is paragraph
about the growing church:
In many places the church is the
one growing institution that is to
be found. All else is retrograding; !;
the young go out, and the loss is not
one to be estimated in numbers only.
1t is the enterprising, the ambitious,
the energetic, the living that go,
leaving the aged, the conservative,
and those held by ties of duty to stay
small rewards. Whatever growth is
IHdIl1leSt IIluSI De secured against lHe
depressing influences of diminishing
numbers, financial losses and posi-
BILE extinction There are churches
in the state now worshipping in
houses which. the entire population
of the parish could not comfortably
fill. Relatively they have more than
held their own vet their church roll
shows a loss of nearly one half One
of these churches can call the names
of more than fifty professional men
who were natives of the parish a
number two thirds as great as the
present resident church membership.
This church is today the one live in
stitution i'll the community. The
promise of the Psalmist is still full
filled to them: "They shall still
bring forth fruit in old age; they
shall be fat and f1ourishing."

A PARACHUTE DESCENT AT THE
FAIR.

The prospectus and entry blanks
for the county fair are in the hands
of Secretary E. T. Ide and are being
rapidly distributed. The fat oxen
and tri plet steers will be on hand
again this year and will draw the
usual crowd. The directors have
about decided to have as a drawing
card parachutist. A man will go
up in a hot air balloon several
thousand feet and drop to the earth
in Il parachute. Great speed is at
tained at the beginning of the descent
but as the parachutist nears the
earth the speed slackens and a land
ing is safely made. This is a daring
feat and one that will be sure to
draw a crowd.

Some Newspaper Bulls.

There were some good newspaper
bulls during the session of parliament.
Mr.. Donald Sullivan introduced to the
house one from an Irish paper. 1t was
in the form of an advertisement for n
laborer and boy, and concluded thus:
" Vita grazing for two goats; both
Protestants. An Irishman writing in
the Times on the late Baron Dowse
concluded his eulogium: " a great
lrishman has passed away. God grant
that many as great, and who shall as
wisely love their country, may follow
him." n Dublin paper heard that the
" The health of Mr.. ParnCll has lately
taken a very serious turn, and fears
of his recovery are entertained by
his friends" Several English papers
quoted this without detecting the bull.
y Cork paper, in describing an interval
of peace in stormy public meeting,
