THE SwEoes ONCE MORE.

y letter purporting to come from a
Swedish settler at Norton's Mills, the
new town in the northern part of the
State, saying that the Swedes who had
settled there were destitute and suffering
for the necessaries of life. came to the
attention of the Swedish vice consul.
Cert Lootz of Boston, who wrote to Gov.
Page. asking if the statement was true.
The governor took steps to find ont the
true condition of affairs, and his investi-
CATION shows the charges to be un-
founded.
The above is an exchanges summary
of voluminous correspondence which
has been printed in several of the State
papers. Gov. Page deserves the thanks
of the commonwealth for ascertaining
the truth and making it known. Mr..
Valentines Scandinavian recruits are in
a sense the wards of the State and now
that we have them on our hands they
ought to be looked after and cared for if
they need it. And that is all there is of
this matter. We are not anxious for any
more experiments of this sort and the
most that the State authorities should
do is to take care of those already here.
There is no occasion for bringing more of
them in.

The Massachusetts legislature has be-
fore it a tax bill which provides that
"when any person liable to taxation on
personal property shall fail to bring in
to the assessors Il true list, duly sworn
to, of his personal property, or, having
brought in such a list, shall refuse to an
swer on oath all necessary inquiries of
the assessors, the latter, after making an
estimate of the value of his personal es-
tate, shall add to it an equal amount
upon which the person shall be assessed
and pay taxes by way of doomage." The
Boston journal and other prominent pa
pers oppose the bill on the ground that
it lodges too mU.h power in the hands of
the assessors. The provisions of the bill
are, it will be noticed, exactly like those
of the Vermont law of 1850.

PINE HALL BURGlARIZED,

Mr.. F. \. Bonds clothing store was
entered by burglars at an early hour on
Wednesday morning and goods to the
value of $50 to 500 were stolen. About
o'clock a. III. Night Watchman Dickin-
son in making his rounds discovered
light in the front part of the store. He
supposed at first that one of the clerks
had been called down for something, but
when he went to the door and spoke,
asking who was there, the light was eX-
tinguished and the intruders ran toward
the rear of the building. Mr.. Dickinson
then walked up Mr. Miller at the electric
light station and sent him after Mr..
Bond, while he remained to watch. EX-
aminations made on Mr.. Bonds arrival
showed that the thief or thieves had
effected an entrance into the water
closet at the rear through a small
window that is habitually left open
for ventilation; thence they proceeded
into the store by prying with bar or
cold chisel on the door, which is fastened
by hooks. The stock of furnishing goods
was considerably stirred up, and some of
the shirts and other garments were in
such state as to indicate that they had
been tried on. The articles taken in
clude "A dozen or more watch chains, a
number of charms, shirts, silk handker-
chiefs, etc, and perhaps some clothing.
The money drawer was forced open
and its contents, about 50 in pennies and
five and ten-cent pieces, were taken. The

DR.. BRIGGS' CASE.

Roy. DR.. Briggs, Il leading teacher in
the Union Theological seminary at New
York. has created something of stir in
theological circles by his views on the
Bible. His ideas are not in accord with
those of the New York presbytery, who
decided on Tuesday to investigate him.
1t is believed the trial will cause divisions
among the Presbyterians. whatever the
investigators may discover. The New
York Mail and Express, whose editor,
the redoubtable Col. Elliot F. Sheppard,
is as fierce in his denunciations of possible
lapses from orthodoxy as he is of the
South and everything southern, works
itself INTO state of mind over DR..
Briggs. saying. among other pleasant
things:
What disgrace it is to the Union
Theological seminary that their whimsi-
cal Prof. Briggs should throw his arms
about the presbytery and shout out that
he appeals to the civil power His &C.
cle>iaStcism makes him tyrant, Just as
it does the sultan. the cZar, the pope.
No intending student of evangelical the
ology should enter next year at the Tn
ion Theological seminary. unless Prof.
Briggs pursues the honorable course of
leaving, or the directors dismiss him.
The directors have an important duty in
this matter to the whole public. If they
decide to sustain whimsical Prof. Briggs.
or If they resolve not to inquire as to his
teachings. they will forfeit the public
confidence and turn the seminary into a
Bibe-chopping, faith-altering synagogue
of Satan.

The Windsor journal thinks that farm
ers in some parts of Vermont could ell
gage profitably in truck farming and it
is undoubtedly correct. 1t is surprising
what large proportion of truck farm
products consumed in Burlington comes
from outside the State, and the same con-
dition of things probably prevails in the
other large towns in Vermont Bur-
lington Free Press.
1t has been said for years by farmers
in towns about Burlington that they
never could find there buyers for pro-
duce taken into the city. Why this
should be the fact we shall not under
take to say Perhaps Burlingtonans
prefer foreign-grown produce; if so, the
Free Press has a mission in educating
them up to an appreciation of the home
article.
