the purchase of an additional organ for

logue. 1t was voted, Z to 6. not to dis
pense with the catalogue. and it was left

1t has incidentally come to my know

plants because of the small sums re-
ceived for your dairy skins. The fault
is your own, for if you would take them
off and properly care for them you would
rarely find skin that would bring you
less than 30 cents, and a great many of
them would bring you 60. 20 and even
so cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter, are poor

WANTS A PARDON.

States Attorney Bliss last week re-
ceived notice from Gov. Page that there
would be IA hearing at Montpelier on
Wednesday, March %, on an application
for the pardon of John G.. Flint. Mr..
Bliss did not go, but he wrote the COVER
nor at length concerning the case and
gave several forcibe reasons why it
might not be advisable to grant the
pardon.
Flnt's case is one of the most noted in
the criminal history of this county. One
night in June, 1884, an old man named
James WEIGH, residing in lonely place
in the town of Hancock, was set upon in
his house in the nighttime, choked and
robbed of a sum of money. Flint and a
younger man, Charles S. Blair, were
arrested for the crime. Blair pleaded
guilty and served term i'm the House of
Correction. The jury twice disagreed on
the Flint case, but at the third trial, at
the June term, 1887, a verdict of guilty
was rendered. The case went to the
supreme court, nd at the term of that
body in January, 1888, new trial was
refused and Flint was sentenced by
Chief Justice Royce to six years i'm
prisonment at hard labor in Windsor.
1t is understood that the ground upon
which Flint's friends ask his pardon is
ill health, claiming that he is dying with
consumption. What decision, if any,
Gov. Page has arrived at is not made
public.

4 dispatch from Manipur, province of
Assam, British India, brings news of
disaster to force of native troops there.
The camp which was garrisoned by
strong force of Goorkhas, native infantry
in the British service, was suddenly at
tackled by a number of hostile tribes led
by their chiefs. A two-days' battle,
during which some desperate fighting
took place, followed the onslaught of
the trbesmen. The Goorkhas fought
determinedly against heavy odds and,
according to the report, 40 of the
Goorkhas were killed. Seven of the
British officers who accompanied the
chief commissioner and that official HIM
self are reported to be missing.
A special dispatch from Buenos Ayres
to the st. Louis Globe-Democrat says that
the city is greatly excited over an at
tempt made Saturday afternoon on the
life of Gen. Roca, prime minister of the
republic. After a cabinet meeting. Gen.
Roca entered his carriage and proceeded
on his way homeward. As they passed
Gale Cangallo shot was heard and Gen.
Roca at once stopped the carriage and
said: My God, | am wounded" A
great crowd surrounded the carriage. and
the police made 20 arrests. among them a
boy from II TO II years of age, who said
he was out of employment, and, being
convinced that Gen. Roca was the cause
of the ruin of the country, he decided to
kill him. The boy seems to be ntelli-
gent, but it is believed he was made the
tool of some of Gen. Roca's bitter enc
mics. Three days ago President Pelligrin
received letters, warning him that at
tempts would be made on the lives of him
self, Gen. Roca and Gen. Levalle. The
dispatch does not state how badly Gen.
Roca was hurt.

been received from Judge Thompson,

ing that the court does not find that the
district was dissolved. The suit was
brought to recover the alleged share of
the district in the public money of the
town of Bridport for the year 1889. One
ground of defense was that the district

finds that, although the district is not
dissolved, it is not entitled to the public
money. just what the reasons are for
the finding no one but the court yet
