time ago a petition looking to Mr..
Ide's appointment as district judge
was circulated by that gentleman's
friends and received many signatures,
not only among the legal fraternity,
but among other business men as
well. 1t is surmised that this may
have something to do with Mr.. Ide's
homecoming that he has either been
appointed to some position better
than a land commission, or has re-
ceived an intimation that such a fate
awaits him. There are several i'm
portant vacancies to be filled, and
Mr.. Ide's Vermont friends believe
that he could occupy any one OF

KEEP RIGHT ON.

Burlington, Bradford, Hardwick,
Chelsea, Springfield and Morrisville
are Vermont towns where booms of
greater or less dimensions have been
inaugurated of late through the in
huence of public-spirited citizens. 1t
has been quite a season for the re-
vivifying of old industries and the
ablishment of new ones in nearly
all of the above-named localities.
This is of course very gratifying,
not only to the citizens of these towns
in particular, but to the people of the
state in general And what has been
done in the places mentioned can be
done in nearly every town in Yer
mont, if-if the people say so. Public
spirit can accomplish wonders when
once it is aroused-its possibilities
are almost unlimited Let this work
be kept going right along. Develop
whatever there is in your town,
and, whenever opportunity presents,
add what there is not. Vermont
towns can grow if their inhabitants
have any genuine warnings in that
direction

WHO IS GOVERNOR?

1t is a matter for congratulation
all around that COnnecticut's guber-
material misunderstanding is to be
settled speedily and in very simple
way. The matter has, by consent of
counsel, been shorn of all vexatious
and conflicting details, and the SUI
preme court is to decide this month
a single point of law-as to whether
the legislature has any right to
correct the returns of moderators
This point being determined, it will
be known whether the title of
Governor" belongs to Mr.. Buckley
or to Mr.. Morris. Its an easy way to
dispose of a disagreeable mess, and it
is expected that the incoming legis-
lature of the Nutmeg state will be
able to tell who's who"

The carpenter shop is 2OX2O feet in
dimensions and just beyond is the
potting room of like size to go with
the green house. The latter, of
which the foundation is just COM
pleted, will be 80 feet long and "a
wide, and all the wood work will be
of cypress. The glass will be 16x24
inches in dimensions, and heat will
be furnished by hot water from a
Foster boiler. The two rooms over
the carpenter shop and potting-room
are Laboratories for the horticulture
list and botanist.
The barn is 1O5x4S feet in dimen-
sions. On the west side are the horse
stables and carriage room with vari-
Gus closets for harnesses, robes,
grain, etc An ell 2Ox4O feet accom-
modates the large farm tools. Above
is a seed room. The cow stable has
stanchions for % head of stock
These stanchions are of nine different
kinds representing the different meth
DDS of fastening ca title. The water
ing device is the Buckley patent, the
first of the kind ever set up in the
state. 1t consists of an iron bucket,
kept always full of water by a con-
slant level ball cock valve. There
are three silos with capacity of 200
tons of ensilage. Sawdust will be
used for bedding and there are bins
for it that contain 20 cords. The
grain bins will hold a carload and
with the sawdust bins are on the
floor above the COW stables with
spouts leading down. An ell on the
east end of the barn is for sheep and
pigs. The plan of Prof. Henry of the
experiment station at Wisconsin. is
followed out in the swine depart
ment. When the pigs are fed, each
one enters his own private pen
through a sliding gate, and has his
food all to himself so that there can
get. No plan has as yet been decided
upon for the sheep department.
There is a room over this ell, DISPOSE
ton of which has not as yet been
made. The manure cellar is a first
class one, SOx4S feet in dimensions,
with doors on each side SO that
teams can drive through. The bays
have capacity for 90 tons Of hay,
which is elevated with a horse hay
fork. The barn is thoroughly venti-
lated from the cellar, COW stable and
barn floor through a system of shafts
into the cupoa.
The house is about 40 feet square,
and has thirteen rooms. 1t is well
built and is very attractive from an
architectural standpoint.

A NEWSPAPER CHANGE.

The Boston Journal has assumed
new shape, coming out as an eight
page paper instead of four, and we
believe that all the readers and pat

Increased capacity for business has
also been secured by the putting in
of Il press which turns off fortv-eight
thousand papers an hour. 1t is the
same old reliable and newsy Journal,
outspoken editorially, genuinely re-
publican, and with a purpose to keep
all the legitimate news of the day be-
fore the people; but there are some
changes in makeup and in the line of

Short Sighted Policy.
Our correspondent says that a
great difficulty in getting those farms
of which he has knowledge (so-called
abandoned farms in Vermont) taken
up again is the neighbors about
them. Hehas repeatedly sent people
to buy these places, and they have
always been discouraged by those in
the vicinity, who persisted in rum
ming the places down, accompanied
by statements that everybody in the
vicinity was trying to get away. The
people are not only discouraged, but
they are very short-sighted.- Bos-
