A case Of remarkable vigor has come to
light in Saco. Mrs. Ann Emery, mother
of Horace Woodman aud Mrs. VIM.
Andrews, who resides in Saco and has
reached the ripe old age Of eighty nine, has
just completed and presented to the Ward
we'll Home a comforter composed Of
many pieces, sewed together and tackled
by herself. Mrs. Emery has always
been an energetic woman and this is
an evidence that this spirit still
clings to her. Saco has been noted for
the number Of its aged citizens whose
mental power and bodily vigor have been
the wonder of many. Thomas Junkins
lived to be 1903, and Aaron Mckinney ZOE.
The latter had his house destroyed by FIRE
when he was 100. He Immediately rebuilt
on plan of his own. Most Of these old
men used tobacco, which undoubtedly
shortened their lives. There are quite .
number Of citizens who have passed the
three score and TED mile post, who are
apparently a. smart and clipper - some
are at fifty or even younger.

We should recognize the able service
which those sound financial Journals,
the New York Evening Post, Times and
World, have given TO the cause Of honest
money during the great public debate on
coinage within the last three or four
weeks. Democratic papers though they
are they could not endorse free silver
and their able advocacy of the rottoness
of such delusion has had powerful
influence in enlightning the public mind
on this question and aiding in securing
the defeat Of free silver coinage.

UNDEVELOPED RESOURCES.

Good friends of Vermont have talked
long and earnestly of the unused farms
of the state and have thought to say lit
tie of other matters which have vastly
more of benefit and opportunity for
wealth than all the farms combined.
The undeveloped mineral resources of
Vermont should have received more at
tention. The towns where those re-
sources have been developed have in
creased in wealth more rapidly than
those in which large manufactures have
located. Marble has built up Rutland
and Proctor, granite has made Barre
what it is, and slate has added thousands
of dollars to the wealth of Poultney.
There is no reason why other towns
with undeveloped mineral resources
might not add to their industrial activi-
ties by opening quarries of whatever
may be their special product.
The friends of the state ought now to
begin over again and advertise, not The
vacant agricultural properties, but the
mines and quarries which are beneath
the surface on so many hillsides. Open
those and the abandoned farm question
would be forever settled. An increase in
the manufacturing population or of those
who work on quarries would increase the
demand for the products of the farm to
such an extent that it would be neces-
sary to re-occupy the vacant farms to
supply them with the necessaries of life.
We believe the opening and working of
our vast mineral deposits is the solution
OF the present agricultural depression.

PLAIN WORK IN OHIO.

The following letter from Secretary
Blaine in reply to the invitation of the
Ohio Republican state committee to take
part in the canvass in that state, shows
fairly as we think the status of the Ohio
campaign. The contest thus far has
been a square up and-up fl ght; there has
been, apparently, everything said which
could be said on both sides, and voters
should thoroughly understand the points
Of party difference before election. The
secretary's letter is as follows:
BAR HARBoR, Sept. %, 1891.
To Colonel L. a. Conger, Akron, 0.
My Dear Sir-Your favor received. l can
not take part in the Ohio campaign this year
for many reasons which need not give, but
l hope no effort will be spared to elect Nc
Kinley. His victory at this time is very i'm
Iortant to the country and to the party. He
aud Mr.. Campbell represent the honest diff
terences between the two parties at this
me. There is no lodging and no evasion
and the voter need not be deceived. The
election of Mckinley means the policy of
protection and honest money. The selection
of Campbell means free trade and the cor
ruption of the currency. l believe Ohio will
stand by Mckinley. Very Sincerely Yours,
JAMES G. BLAINE.

TIME WILL TELL.

Time alone will prove the full wisdom
of the action taken by the village at its
recent meeting. 1t would seem that the
resolutions adopted cover very sutli-
GENTLY the evil which called them forth,
and enforced as they should be it is not
easy to see how the water of the village
can be diverted from its proper uses. AT
all events, whatever excuse the COM
mi 'sioners have had in the past through
lack of power, such excuses have no
longer standing room. They have now
unlimited power to regulate in the best
interests of the village, and if they ap-
preciate the full Importance of the situa-
ton and are determined to protect those
interests, now is the time to begin the
illustration. The village, as a majority,
does not expect the impossible; does not
look to see this menace to our prosperity
disappear at once and forever. If we
sound the feeling of our people correctly,
they are prepared to submit to inconven-
fence when necessity requires, as then
have in the past; ready to cooperate ID
the practice of small economies in the
use of water if only safety may be as
sured; but it does expect, and justly
that the water commissioners will obey
orders promptly and to the letter, exer-
cising their best intelligence in the prem
ises. The meeting was good thing; it
cleared the air of feeling, and should
have the effect to bring into better har-
mony for mutual advantage factions
which are always and everywhere too
ready to antagonize each other. The
solid growth of Bellows Falls rests in the
full cooperation of it's various members.

l could not help thinking as | read the
criticisms that were made on Gov. Rus

read the comments himself, he must
have felt very much like Casey, who
sucked his torch. You know that they
have in these campaign companies, these
torchlighc companies, torch that they
hold up in front of their faces, and blow
into it, ana great sheet of flame flares
up in the air.
1t seems they had one of those parades,
and )ne of these companies, equipped
with this particular kind of torch, was
marching along. And this man was seen
sitting on the curbstone with his head
on his hand and his smoking torch by
his side and friend was standing over
him.
One of the mounted officers rode along
He looked down and said: "Phwat ails
Casey?" And his friends looked up and
said: she soocked his tarch instid of

torch when he ought to have blown it.

have put all crops beyond the reach of
the frost, and farmers are now reaping
natures abundance. The business ac-
tivities thereby occasioned are indicated
IN our own and nearby villages. The
abundant crops give the farmers
plenty and surplus, and one conse-

also shown and were fine specimens of
what Vermont can do in The line of
breeding horses. Patrick O'Brien of
Rockingham showed the same brood
mare and sucking that took first prize
at the Springfield fair.
The show of cattle was excellent
and verified the statement that the
Valley fair is second to none in New
England for show of high bred cattle.

also herd from Montague, Mass,

strates the fact that G, w, Pierce.

to make the most of high breed of cat lie.
