A SINGULAR CREATURE.-The Mon
treal Star says that a singular Great
ure, residing near Irasburg, this
state, has allowed no human being to
look upon her during the day for
40 years. Her name is Ann Dennis
and she is said to be the daughter of
well-to-do farmer. She took up
her singular mode of life after the
death of her mother, whom she acct
dentally killed by an overdose of
some opiate. She lives in a small,
substantial, one room cabin about
six miles from the town, and remains
tightly shut up during the day and
ventures out only in the darkest
nights, when she will walk into town
and transact such business as she
may have, but cannot be induced to
enter room lighted up, save very
dimly, and then only when thickly
yelled. Those who remember her in
her youth say that she was an I'M
usually pretty girl and well educated,
She lives quite alone, with nothing
living to keep her company.

DEATH RATE OF THE OLD SOL
DIERs.-Capt. Geo. E. Lemon, we'll
known pension agent, says: At the
close of the war there were 100000
veterans. The census returns shows
/ 200, 600 now living The pension
rolls carry about 100000. The
deaths of pensioners reported to the
pension bureau aggregate about g..
600 annually, but by no means all
the deaths Of the pensioners are re-
ported. Not more than four-ffths
are so reported, and the pension of
fee only ascertains the death of the
other 1000 by continued absence
OF the pensioner on pension payment
day. 1t is fair, from the ratio of pen
sioners to veterans, to presume that
fully $4,000 to 10000 old soldiers
are dying off annually. They will &C
much faster in the next ten years
than at any period before.

A PROCLAMATION.

BY CARROLL 5. PAGE, GOVERNOR.
Whereas the Seth Congress of the United
States imposed a direct tax upon the States
and Territories thereof, under which the STATE
of Vermont paid S179,407 so as her full pro
portion and the 51st Congress having passed
an act refunding the same upon conditions
which make special legislation imperative
And whereas immediate legislation is nee,
essary to secure the speedy erection OF a
Custom House and Post Office at st. Adams,
for which an appropriation was made by
the 51st Congress;
And whereas there appears to be strong
public sentiment calling for further legisla-
ton upon the subject of the Columbian Ex-
position to be opened at Chicago in 1892;
Now, therefore, in view of the foregoing,
which seem to me to demand con-
sideration prior to the next biennial session
of the general assembly; l. Carroll S. Page,
Governor of the State of Vermont, by virtue
of the authority vested in me by the Consti-
tuition, do hereby issue this my proclama-
tion converting the General Assembly in

sentatives to meet at Montpelier in their

gether with the officers of the two Houses,
On Tuesday, the 25th day of August,

proper.

Owing to the advancing years of

farm owned by him for many years
past, near Hyde Park village. Hav.

much less than its value.
To those who are acquainted
with the place no commentator
is necessary. For the benefit of
those who are not, say it is one of
the best farms on the Lamoille
River. 1t has a meadow nearly or
quite one mile in length, and
nearly as level as floor. 1t was
in a fair state of cultivation when
purchased by my father, and du-
ring the many years that he has
owned it he has been constantly
improving it, until it is to-day one
of the most fertile farms on the
Lamoille River. The dwelling is

cellent state of repair and pleas.
antly located, and the barns are
fair. 1t would cost $500 at least
to build the buildings to-day
The larger part of the farm is
in Morristown, where taxes are
comparatively low. The balance
lies contiguous to Hyde Park vii
lage, where there is an academy,
court house, two banks, printing
office, steam mill, hide house, and
sundry stores, railroad depot, ETC.,
all of which are within d to Il
mile of the farm. The place is
now offered for $4,000. 1t was
sold a few years since for $4,000
1t contains 200 or 2I5 acres, but
if desired will reserve a part of it.
Terms for payment will be made
easy to any one who can either
pay or secure $1,000.

AN IMMENSE WHEAT CRoP.=Thert
is no change in the outlook in the
Western states for an immense
wheat crop. The weather continues
clear and cool in Minnesota and the
Dakotas, and every day brings the
enormous wheat crop nearer to the
point of absolute safety. In the few
early fields of spring wheat thus far
cut the yield is larger than the estim-
ate two years ago. The only things
feared are too much rain and an early
frost. 1t is thought that 100000
600 to 115,000,O00 bushels will be
harvested in Minnesota and the Da-
kotas. Good reports for the Oregon
and Washington crops have been re-
ceived.

Gov. Pages proclamation for a
special session of the Legislature
appears in this issue of our paper
The three points to which he directs
the attention of the General Assem-
bly, are: LIST, The acceptance by the
State of the $179,4O7.SO from the
United States Government. I'd, The
ceding to the United States of juris-
diction over the site of the new feder-
al building to be erected at st. Al
bans, for which $4,000 has been
appropriated by the Government.
3D., The Worlds Fair at Chicago.
Concerning the first it may be said
that the refunding act requires that
before any State shall receive it's
share it shall, by vote of its legisla-
ture, agree to accept the amount re-
funded in full settlement of its claim
therefor against the Government.
Regarding the second, it may be
said that under the laws of the
United States no public building can
be erected until the state government
has coded jurisdiction over the terri
tory upon which it is to be built to
the United States.
As to the third, it may be said that
for the past three months there has
been growing sentiment within our
State that Vermont should be re-
specially represented at Chicago,
and to enable her to do so further
small appropriation would be re-
quired.
When the Legislature shall have
convened it may or may not confine
itself to the consideration of the sub
jects to which it's attention has been
called by the Governor.

My DEAR GOVERNOR:
Owing to my attendance upon the
annual encampment of the q. A. X.
at Detroit the past week, | have been
somewhat tardy in my acknowledge
ment of your esteemed favor of 31st
ultimo, touching Senator Edmunds'
| successor.
Since receipt of Senator Edmunds'
| letter rendering his resignation, /
have been in receipt of letters in large
numbers from distinguished citizens
of Vermont, as well as from sons of
Vermont residing in other states,
urging their views as to the success
sorship, but among them all, | think
no one has been more numerously,
cordially or infuentially urged than
the old war Governor" The sup
posed critical condition of your
health has, of late, caused a change
in the views of many who desired you
as their first choice; but the fact that
such a large number of the best citi-
zens of our State desired your ap-
pointment, must be, l am sure, ex-
ceedingly gratifying to you.
Permit me to assure you that your
suggestions as to the appointment
will be carefully considered and given
due weight. l am very anxious to
meet the wishes OF the good people of
Vermont in this matter and feel con-
fident that / shall soon have such a
consensus as will leave me in no
doubt as to my duty.
l desire to assure you of my high
of your expressions of
personal regard and remain, with
much respect,
Your obedient servant,
