A WRECK NEAR vERoENNEs.

The early morning freight north was
wrecked near the kaoin depot. Just this
side of the Vergennes station, about 4
O'Clock a. M, Wednesday. Fourteen
cars were derailed and three of them
were badly smashed up. One brakeman
was thrown from the top of car to the
ground, and, striking on his head, was
cut, but not badly. The cause of the
trouble was the breaking apart of the
train and the coming together of the two
sections. 1t was IL O'Clock before the
track was cleared. The forenoon mail
south did not reach here till noon. The
morning sleeper north was this side of
the wreck and was detained nearly seven
hours.

OFF iTS BASE

Lack of interest in the campaign is not con.
fined to Vermont. II prevails in the close
States, like Ohio, and is general. There seem
to be two causes tor it: First, indifference on
the part OF the people as to whether Harrison
or Cleveland is elected, that Indifference
growing out OF II feeling that things will go on
about the same in either event; and, second,
a change IN the methods OF conducting cam.
paigns. the managers on both sides paying
less attention to noise, speeches, parades and
enthusiasm and more to systematic personal
work on the part of their subordinates.-
lMiddlebury Register.
The REGISTER is now getting down
nearer the facts and the above is much
more sensible than its assertions that the
leading Republican candidate in the late
State election was so awfully unpopular.
Pretty soon it will acknowledge the fact
of the mismanagement of the campaign
by the chairman of the Republican party.
Theu it will show that it has pretty good
common sense, even if it insists upon hid
ing it under peck measure occasionally.

Our esteemed contemporary strains a
point or two IN order to get in little

In the article from which it quotes we
were speaking not of the governor cam

half hour spent in romping with a
good dog is better spent than an hour at

the true poetic charm, which is one
reason why cats were so dear to Baude-

distinctly superior intellectually to his
master that ii is difficult for the two to
talk together. The COW is a model of
beauty and pastoral virtues.-l New York

The bill further provides that all ordi-
nary process to the supreme and county
courts shall be served, entered and
docketed in the county clerks office
within twenty-one days after it issues,
aud the defendant is required to enter his
appearance in the county clerks office
within fourteen days thereafter. The
bill also provides that appeals from
justice, municipal, probate and insol-
vency courts shall be entered and dock
eted iu the county clerks office within
twentv-one days from the time they are
taken and that the appellee shall enter
his appearance within fourteen days
thereafter. The design of the proposed
legislation is to have three terms of the
supreme court for each county, instead
of the present one term, and to mature
cases for trial in the county court the
first term.

That MILITARY POST.

The United States military post, of
which so much has been said, has final
ly been located. 1t will be between Win
ooski and Essex junction. Four COM
panies of cavalry will be stationed there
and a battery of artillery is likely soon
to be added. Congress at its last session
appropriated 100000 for the post. Cit
liens of Burlington, Colchester and
Shelburn subscribed the money with
which the land was purchased.

THE ELECTION OUTLOOK.

The returns from Saturdays registra-
ton in New York State encourage Repub-
ican leaders there, who express the ut
most confidence that Harrison will carry
the State. The Democrats, however, are
not discouraged and claim that they are
still certain of victory. Nevertheless,
it is generally conceded that the last
weeks developments hold out more hope
to the Republicans of carrying that State
and thus, perhaps, the election. 1t is not
to be denied, though, that careful, un-
prejudiced persons, who ought to know
something about the situation, are not
sangune either way. 1t looks very much
as if the leaders of each party would be
as much surprised as anybody should
their side win.
The betting, among the sporting men
in the cities, is even on the general result
In New York the Democrats give odds
on the State, but that is to be expected,
for their adherents must be encouraged
somehow. AS to the whole betting busi-
ness, on which some people are inclined
to put much stress, the New York Sun
we'll says:
The persistent hesitation and the mea-
greness of numbers in which the political
bettors of this year bet, indicate that, in
the opinion of the great unprejudiced fra
ternity of gamblers, the problem of the
election is too difficult to decide. All the
betting that is done is simply the outcrop
of partisanship.

A NEEDED REFORM.

The committee appointed at the recent
annual meeting of the Vermont Bar
association to petition the legislature
for legislation that would expedite legal
proceedings and to draft bill for that
purpose, have prepared bill, which was
introduced in both houses at Montpelier
on Monday. 1t provides for the abolition
of the present fifteen terms of the
supreme court-one In each of the four
teen counties and general term at
Montpelier-and, in place thereof, for
three general terms annually, at all of
which cases from any county may be
heard, These three terms may all be

A CAUSE OF UNPRoFITABLENEss IN
FARMING.

The farmer who winters his moving
machine and horse rake in the meadows
and his plow at the end of the last furrow
turned in the fall, permits his fences to
get out of repair and allows his hay to
rot in stacks, instead of selling it, is Justly
condemned by his fellows for doing
business in wasteful way. But there
is another sort of leak In farming oper-
ations that is, perhaps. more common,
and Just as disastrous as these, though it
is not so apparent. 1t is that which
results from keeping poor stock. 1t costs
just as much to feed and care for an
Improbable COW, for instance, as for a
good one, and while the latter may cost
a trifie more at the start, the difference is
soon made up. Take a herd of thirty
cows, for example. If each of them
yields 325 pounds of butter year and
the butter brings an average price of "a
cents, the income from the herd will be
S2340. On the other hand, if the yield
is but 200 pounds COW, the income
will be nearly a thousand dollars less, or
Sl44O, and the herd may in the latter
case be source of loss, instead of
profit, to the owner. To continue keep
ing it would be as unwise as for mer-
chant to sell goods below cost. The
same might be true of inferior sheep or
horses or hens. And the worst of it is,
that not one in a hundred farmers ever
knows how much money his cows or
his sheep cost him to keep or how much
money he gets out of them. If more
bookkeeping were done by the farming
community, there would be a greater
demand for better stock of all kinds, and
less talk about the unprofitableness of
farming.

ST. JoHNssURY's CALAMITY.
MUCH PROPERTY DESTROYED BY FIRE
AND TWO LIVES LOST.

AND TWO LlN LOSl.
The worst fire that ST. Johnsbury has
ever known broke out about o'clock
Sunday evening and ragged fiercely for
two hours before it was brought under
control. In that time several business
blocks and large number of stores were
destroyed and two persons were burned
to death. The flames first appeared III
the rear of Lougee Brothers Il Smythe's
large dry goods store on the east side of
Railroad street. a gale was blowing
from the northeast and the fire swept on
with resistless force, licking up property
to the value of at least Sl50,000. The
list of the business establishments burn
ed on Railroad street is as follows: Lou
gee Bros. & Smythe's store, which con
tanned large and valuable stock of dry
goods; Balchs Photographic studio on
the top story of the same building; Will
lam Daniels meat market, Oh which
there was small insurance; the Mer-
chants national bank, Il. C. Spencer's
jewelry store. with a valuable stock:
Bagley's drug store, Gilmore's boot and
shoe store, Roderer's cigar store, Sylves-
ter's meat market and Lynch's restaur-
ant The last five named stores were
located in Wards block, a four-story
brick structure, three stories of which
were occupied as tenements. Twelve or
fifteen families were burned out in that
block alone. The villages of Lyndon
vile, Barnet and McIndoes were tele-
graphed to for help. Lyndonvile sent
an engine and some men, but help from
the others, though in readiness to come,
was not needed. The origin of the fire
is not definitely known, but it is thought
to have started about the boiler in the
basement of Lougee Broa. e Smythe's
store.
The persons whose lives were lost were
Mrs. Marshall, dressmaker, who lived
in rooms in the third story of the build
ing, and James A. Mitchell, who board
ed with her. Mitchell did not attempt
to leave the building for some reason or
other, possibly because he was too
frightened, and Mrs. Marshall stayed be-
hind calling him till it was too late for
her to escape.
The property destroyed was pretty
well insured, so that there are no heavy
losers except by the interruption to busi-
ness.

st. Johnsbury's turn to suffer severely

ure up to the not inconsiderable sum of
$200,0o0, while the loss from the stop
page of business must be quite large.

will soon make good the damage, and it
may be that there, as in Middlebury, the
final outcome of the fire will be sub
