GOLD. THERE'S GOLD


GlitteriDg in the Bed of the River at
stowe-A Burlinstonian Secures Some
Sam pies of 1t.
NJ. D. McMahon returned Saturday from
Stowe, bringing with him some samples of
the gold which is being found there in the
bed Of the river. There were - grains of
it and Durham IS Grant pronounced it
pure.
Mr., Mcmahon, in company with party
of young men from Stowe. went up the
river about two miles and after working
industriously for about one halt dav secured
the above quantity of the shining meial. 1t
was a slow operation, taking up pan full
after pan full OF sand and sitting 1t uut.l the
particles of gold settled to the bottom
the river flows down from il Z Back
mountain and it is very probable that if the
exact location of the deposit could he found
a quite valuable Strike would be in store
for somebody. Gold is usually found in
quartz and the process OF getting il ont is
laborious, but these pure particles look as
though the water had loosened them in their
present state from the rock aud wa he'd
them down among the sands of the river
Gold was dug there twenty years ago 10y
Captain \. IL. Slaton an old California
miner who secured enough to make 1t ueauti-
full watch chain; but he SAID il did not ray
to work 1t at that point, and lie never was
able to find the spot from which il came.
Still the presence Of this ind fUruish-
es a topic for lois of talk and a lucky finder
may turn up at the most unexpected time.
The place where this gold was found is
within few rods of Mr. McNIahon's birth

A six column description of tortures in
Dannamora prison only paralleled by the
horrors in the Russian penal colony is print
ed by the New York Advertiser The story
is told 10y n correspondent who obtained en-
ployment in the prison guard in order
that he might learn from direct observation
how the convicts were treated His declar-
alton is that the prisoners are strung up by
tho wrists for the most trivial offence, by
orders Of James Moon the chief keeper, are
brutaly pounded by the keepers and are
sometimes forced to endure the coolest
weather with scarcely clothing enough for
summer. He asserts that convicts have
been driven insane and to suicide 10y inhu-
man treatment, the only provocation in
many cases being their failure to perform
the amount Of work assigned as their day s
task. The charges will undoubtedly be in
vistigated and if substantiated there will be
a revolution in the management OF New
Works penal institutions
The Matter of the Special Session
1t has been understood in some well-in-
formed quarters, we believe, that Gov. Page
was delaying his final decision in regard to
call ng a special session of the Legislature,
until he should receive definite assurance
from tho secretary of tie treasury, and the
comptroller, that they would be governed
in regard to the payment of the direct tax
money to Vermont by the favorable opinion
Of the attorney general which was publish
ed some weeks since. Without such definite
assurance the governor would hardly be
justified in calling the Legislature together
a special despatch to the Boston Journal
states that the governor has de-
cidel to convene the Legislature Aug
ust 25rh. If this is so, he must have
heard from Washington that the officers
whose province it is to direct the payment
and to issue the warrant therefor, will, af-
ter the Legislature has taken the necessary
action pay to the State treasurer, the
$40, 600 that is coming to Vermont. If he
has not already received such a reply to his
request for information on the subject, there
is little doubt that he will receive the needed
notification and that the special session will
be held at the time long since virtually fixed
10y Gov. Page.
The session will be a very short one, of
course, and confined to the absolutely press
ing matters of legislation, such as the re-
ceipt of the direct tax money; the cession
of site for the new customs house and
postofiice at st. Adams, and possibly some
verbal amendments of the Australian ballot
/ law

was to lie located. The hatchcry's location
lay between st. Johnsbury and Brattleboro

The joint exhibition at Howard Park will
merit the following words from tho St.
Adams Messengers "While the occasion of
the state fair is generally looked forward to
as a sort of general reunion of the people of
the commonwealth, and very many would
be in attendance with little regard for the
show, yet it must be conceded that it is the
exhibition that offers the main inducement.
The management have been aware of this,
and evidently have oxertcd themselves tc
eclipse any former exhibition. There has
been gradual improvement in our state
fairs, until the elaborateness and perfect
| ness attained would do honor to a much
larger State. There is every indication that
the annual fair at Burlington is to lie an ex
ceilent advertisement of Vermont and hel
resources, and the exhibit should be en-
couraged by the largest possible attendance
from all quarters"

CHICAGO. Nov. e.-World's fair trans
portation matters have been SO com
pletely conferred IN the local traffic be-
tween the city and jackson park that
the general traffic question OF how
people are 10 be brought INTO Chicago
has been overlooked.
Roads that reach here through the
great territory from which visitors will
be drawn may have given the subject
careful consideration, put IL does not
appear that they have moved very eN-
tensively ia making provision for the
traffic.
From the dozen States Immediately
adjacent To Chicago every one who is
not confined To bed and who can raise
the money will come To the fair. ON
State days immense additional crowds
will come. On Illinois day 500, 200
people from this State will want to
come here. Can the railroads bring
them with their present equipment, or
are they adding TO IL To n sufficient
extent
Railroad men do not like TO talk
definitely on the subject OF what prep
arations are being made. but make
the general expression that the roads
will take good care to bring in all the
people that can be taken care of in the
city.

ager of the Chicago a. Northwestern,
and chairman of the worlds fair co M
mittee on transportation, says he has

tion facilities will be inadequate.
You may depend on IT, he said,
that railroad managers throughout
the country who have been in this
business all their lives and know their
duties as common carriers, have this
matter fully considered ana settled IN
their minds. One thing To be noticed
is that conditions of traffic will be en-
tirely reversed from what they are
now. All the excursion traffic and
picnics of which there are hundreds
day out OF Chicago, will all be stopped
and their place will be flied with an
inward traffic.

President Ben Thomas of the West

confidence that the traffic would be

tracks and waiting for service. OF
course ali OF them will be used during
the fair. And OF course some ears will

now that IL would be pretty difficult to
