Most of the letters received at the
post-oflice this week from the large cities
have borne the new postage stamps,
which were placed on sale at first-class
offices on Saturday. The new stamps
are smaller than the old and are printed
in carmine, instead of the "sickly green'
of the old one.
The ground is again bare of snow and
the mud grows deeper every hour. The
ice harvest, which was well under way
when the thaw began, is suspended, and
not more than half crop has been Sc
cured. The lumbermen's operations are
again at standstill, and, altogether, the
outlook is not cheerful.
The regular convocation of Mt. Cal
vary commandery, Knights Templar,
Wednesday evening, was attended by a
large number of members of the order
not only from this town but from all over
the county. A special feature of the
occasion was the presence of the grand
commander, Sir w. f. Lewis of Rutland.
An East Middlebury man. son of the
Emerald isle and a Democrat, has figured
out, to his own satisfaction at least how
the weather comes to be what it is. In
conversation with Others of the village
philosophers, recently, he disclamed any
belief whatever in the Gulf stream theo-
ry; "the truth is" said he, "since this
black Republican administration began
we've had nayther summer nor winter"
The town officers reports are printed
and will be ready for distribution by
the auditors today and tomorrow. As
every voter will have one, there is no
need that we make extended mention of
the contents. Town politics are rather
warm, it is said, especially out in the
east village, and promise to be more trop-
ical before the election is over. The
warning for town meeting contains only
the ordinary clauses.
The early controversy between YER
mont and New York. which lasted 2G
years, the latter State claiming and sell
ing lands in Vermont, was settled by
Vermont agreeing in 1890 to pay New
York $780, for all lands thus sold.
This money was raised by a tax of one
half penny per acre on all land in Yer
mont except public rights. Many prop
rietors' rights were sold at public ven
due. Receipts for this tax, and deeds
for land sold, are preserved in the Shell
don museum.
Miss Minnie l.. Phelps of st. Gather
ines, Ont, graduate of the national
school of elecution and oratory, Phla-
delphia, and now engaged in temperance
work, will speak at the Methodist church
Sunday evening. March ., under the
auspices of the local w. C. T.. L. A
home paper says of her: "Miss Minnie
Phelps of this city has already achev-
ed an enviable reputation as speaker.
and her time is almost wholly occupied
in the lecture field. She is credit to
herself and to the city she calls her
home, and those who heard her brilliant
address on Sunday evening will agree
that all that has been said in her praise
by other papers throughout the Domn-
ion was well deserved" Further an
nouncement will be made next week.

Americrn Pheasants.

October Outing: The pheasant is an arti-
fetal production and not bird of the
wilderness, like the quail, the snipe, the
woodcock and the wild duck, or even the
partridge and the grouse. He is an inn
portation, not only into England but into
Europe. Whether he came into England
through their Roman conqrerors, whose
ayiaries he adorned, or through France,
where he has always been widely spread,
is matter of little orno moment. Suffice.
as the Americans say, he got here all the
same, as he would, if carried, get into and
thrive in any country where the temper
allure is not too low and where there are
silent woods with a thick underground tor
shelter, for he is ready colonizer. He
would doubtless have crossed eastward into
America from Asia centuries ago
but for the intervening sea. Why
he has not been introduced into
the admirably adapted Southern states;
why the ample woods Of Virginia do not
glow with his plumage and echo with his
crow is one Of those things which, as Dun
dreary says, ''no fellow can find out" It is
not very difficult, in any suitable country,
to maintain the pheasant although it is
costly to do So Alter his intantile days his
natural food is simple. The acorn, the
beech nut, the root of the buttercup or the
pilewort crowfoot suffice him; butif these
fail he is quite ready-nay, more than ready
of artificial cultivation-the barleycorn, the
buckwheat the fragrant pea or even the
ubiquitous potato. The difficulty with him
as an adult leaving poachers out of the
question)i is not to rear him in plenty, but
to keep him at home, SO that he may be-
there when he is wanted; for ne IS q very
gregarious bird, especially fond OF compa-
ny, q bird OF many wives (rellc OF his East
ern origin) and much given to wandering
abroad to find them. Many are the shifts

AN IMPORTANT POINT.
something Regarding the Tariff Bill
Which Must BE Decided.

3
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-One of the most
important tariff questions now under con-
sideration by the treasury department and
the department of justice is whether or not
goods dutiable under the old law and ware
housed prior to Oct. 6. the date when the
present law took effect, and made free OF
duty by the present law, can be admitted to
Tree entry on and alter the 9th instant
The question will probably be decided in a
few days.
l. was stated at the treasury department
this afternoon that in view Of the proyis-
ions of section IA Of the customs admins
trative law, which applies also to all i'm
portations under the present tariff law. the
department will positively decline to in
struct customs officers on any questions
arising under the present law affect
ing the classification or assessment OF
duties on imported merchandise.
The section referred to provides
that the decision of coll, ctors of customs in
regard to the rate and amount of duties on
imported merchandise is final against all
persons. unless they protes and take the
case to the board of general apprais rs. 1t
provides f rther thatif the importers are.
dissatisfied with the action of that board
they may apply to the circuit courts Of the
United States. The treasury department
holds that there is no other remedy, and
that the department can in no wa interfere
in the matter
