interests of Vermont. he breeders are
called together at this time to consider the
matter of making an exhibit Of sheep at the

worthy of the Green Mountain state. The
managers of the exposition offer $llGJ in
premiums in each of the three classes Of
merino sheep and there are eight or ten
classes of the mutton breeds, in each OF
which the premiums are the same as for the
merinoes The Legislature has made appro-
priations, about $1,000 Of which may be
used in making a State exhibit Of sheep, so
that there is every inducemcut for making a
creditsble exhibit.
There has been no little complaint in GER

Vermont has ceased to he profitable 1t is,
of course, a fact that the large prices real

lie Receives IN Elegant 9th Army Corps
badge on His Retirement From the
Position of Auditor.

and other State officers of 1892, to Hon. e.
Henry Powell OF an elegant 9th army corps

he has so satisfactorily filled. The presenta-
ton was made by Hon. Chauncey w.
Brownell, secretary of state, who spoke
substantially as follows;
'Col. Powell you are about to retire
from the public Office of State auditor, a
position which you have filled for the past
il years with fidelity and honesty. 1ou
have permitted no man to take from the
State, through you, any money which was
not properly his due nor have you allowed
any man to suffer at your hands for the
want of approval of any just claim against
the STATE.
For your public service, so faithfully per-
formed, you have the respect and confidence
OF the people throughout our grand little
State, and especially of those who have. been
associated with you as State officers.
Early in life, when but mere boy just
entering upon your college course, with
every prospect of pleasure and profit in the
| future, you left home and friends to enter
the couutry's service in her time of need.
On Southern soil and tented field you played
the part OF a true hero in preserving the ma
tional unity and sustaining the odd flag.
For all this the people honor you, and now,
| in behalf of our associates. | present you
with this badge, which means so much tc
the true soldier, "a slight token of our
esteem and friendship. May you over wear
it near your heart, and may it be remind
er OF your patriotic service and our esteem.
Col, Powell was taken completely by sur
prise, but answered most appropriately
thanking his associates and friends for thu
suggestive token OF affection and regard

The Legislature appears from this dis
lance to have begun the session as IL it
meant business, and if it will do as well
every day from now 90, the members will
have no trouble in returning to their re-
spective homes in time for their Thanks
giving turkey. That the House, which
naturally determines the length OF the ses-
sion, will be an expeditions as well as de-
Lucrative body, seems certain in view OF
the excellent selection made yesterday for
speaker. Speaker Stickney, while clerk Of
the House, came to have every particle of
useful knowledge about that body and its
rules of procedure at ready command,
and even in his former position his readi-
ness and activity contributed in no
small degree to the expeditions transaction
OF the business before the House. That he
will display the same qualities in his present
position, though in higher degree, goes
without saying, and it is also fair to pre-
sumo that he will not need to be coached. "
Speaker Stckney was born in Plymouth
1853 and he is therefore thirty nine years of
age lie graduated from Phillips Exeter
academy in 1877, and taking up the study
of law was admitted to the bar of Windsor
county in 1873 His interest in educational
matters and his recognized ability led to his
election as superintendent of schools in 1851,
which he held for two years. la lSS3 be
was elected States attorney Of Windsor
county and filled the position with marked
ability.
Mr. Stickney began his experience in the
| House in 1872, when he was appointed sec
oud assistant clerk and during the sessions
| Of 1878 and 1850 tie was first assistant
clerk In 1892 he was elected clerk, and he
has continued to hold that position during
succeeding sessions up to the present. ex-
hibting high qualities as a man as well as
marked ability as an official. Speaker
Stickuey evidently commands the high re
gard as well as respect of the members Of
the House and he will discharge his duties
as speaker with credit to himself and fidel-
ity to the interests Of the State.

notice from the war department at Wash

distinguished gallantry in action at BLACK
ford s or Boteler's Ford on the Potomac river
Sept. 49, 1862. This action occurred
after the battle of Antetam and
was most spirited affair and is
best told in Col G.. G. Benedicts
report of Vermont in the Civil War, which
says that "the enemy's rifemen held the
opposite bank of the Potomac river, but
the sharpshooters crossed, fording the
stream under fire and supported by the attn
Michigan, drove them away Moving on a
short distance party of sharpShooters un-
der Corporal Cassius Peck discovered body
of the enemy guarding two guns which
had been left by the retreating column. The
enemy were driven away, a prisoner taken,
guns captured and brought away. The con
federates tried to recapture the guns, and
the next day a severe engagement occurred
| with much less OF life The guns recaptured
were said to be from Ayers regular bat
terry, which the con federates captured from
our people at the first battle OF Bull Run,
Va.
Sergeant Peck was present in more thar
% battles and skirmlshes, and distinguished
himself in many OF them. Since the wal
be has represented his town and county IT
the Legislature of Vermont; he is now 6
trustee Of the State Agricultural college it

from Vermont in the war and the veteran
of the State will be delighted to hear VI thl

That Chairman Carter OF the republican
national committee is confident as to the
outcome Of the present national campaign
ID evident from the following announcement
issued by him:
Il have no fears whatever as to how the
approaching election will result. In con
test in which the people must choose be
tween free trade and protection, when they
are asked to accept a wildcat State banking
scheme in the place of our present stable
currency, aud TO abandon a CONNER cial pol
icy and a system of trade treaties known as
reciprocity for the uncertainties which must
| follow in the wake Of democratic control,
| there should DO no doubt about the decision
| of the hard headed voters of the country.
! They are not likely to exchange their pres
| ont prosperous condition for tho hazardous
experiment OF free trade and bad money.
The vast ma iorty OF the citizens at the
next election Will vote the republican tic
| ket. The common sense OF the people Will
prevent turning the country over to final
ruin.
II think, too, that the people understand
that both branches of Congress will neces-
sarlly be democratic in Gaze of President
Harrison's defeat. We cannot lose the
presidency and save either the Senate or
the House Therefore, it must seem to or
