The SITTER learns by its grapevine
that it is contemplated to put on ex-
position at the Worlds fair, in connec-
ton with the Vermont dairy exhibit, a
native sheep to be MIXED in front of
the Vermont building everyday at 9
O'Clock in the forenoon. Dairy-maid
Arms of Springfield is to do the milk
ing while Col. Hooker holds the sheep
and Levi recites the Battle of Keyes'
Farm"
"0ver the garden wall,
Over the corn with its silk
And golden treasures, came battalion
Driving sheep and cows for milk"
This, it is thought, will not only as
tonish the natives of the Prairie State
but open the eyes of the whole world
as to Vermonts possibilities under the
leadership of her dairy-maids and her
distinguished agriculturists, Gov. Full
ler and Col. Geo. w. Hooker.

oFal assistants are engaged in making a
minute examination of the abutmelts

condition of the piers. The work is
progressing with due celebrity, but the
length Of time which the examination
will require cannot be stated. The
only work thus far done by the diver

He reported everything solid and in

FIRE IN THE CoUNTY.-An alarm oil
fire was sounded between three and
four o'clock yesterday morning caused
by the burning Of the former residence
OF the late Richard Rotchford, in the
county, about halfa-mile northwest Of
this city. The fire department respond
ed. but water for the engines being in
accessible the willing Gremen were
compelled to stand by and see the house
entirely consumed. An hour or two
later nothing but the bare walls re-
manned of what had been for years an
old but cosy landmark. The property
of late had belonged 20 the Spring Park
Improvement Company, of which Mr..
NJ. B. Harlow is president. The house
was two-story brick structure which
had been greatly improved while owned
by Mr.. Rotchford. The house and 9th
er buildings on the farm were valued at
about - 900, on which there was an in
surance of $3.50. The dwelling had
recently been occupied by Mr.. \. j..
Walsh and the contents, valued at
about $1,000, were not insured. Mr..
Walsh lost everything, including his
clothing and 1875 in money, and had
to hustle in order to escape with his
life from the burning building. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it is
supposed to have been the work of an
incendiary. 1t originated in one Of the
out buildings and the flames spread
with such rapidity that Mr.. Walsh, who
was sleeping in the front part of the
main building barely escaped with his
life. A number of hogs, chickens, &C.,
were burned.

single and Married Women writers.

In some discussion lately concerning the
growing prevalence of married women
writers the names Of quite a number 9l
spinsters came up. with some Of their pc.
culiarities. A woman who has summered
several seasons on the north shore Of Mas
sachusetts had picked up bits Of informa-
tjon concerning Gail Hamilton, who with
her sister, is now staying in Carlisle, Pa
to collect information regarding the an
eestry Of James G. Blaine, whose biography
she isto write. Miss D0dge's birthplace u
Wenham, where relatives are still living.
Those who know her best say that she has
alwavs been too much wrapped up in her
self independence ever to give the subject
of matrimony moments Thought, except
when it concerns other people, Fhen she
can be quite tart.
Kate Field is another writer who is sup
posed to be too much in love with Journal
ism to ever think of marriage. She writes
to some purpose, for no other woman Is
more quoted than she in the dailles and
weeklies of this country. Then followed
the name Of Charles Egbert Craddoek, who
cheated folks into believing for some time
that her thrilling Tennessee stories were
written by Il man, aud who still resides
with her mother at the old homestead
busy with literary work. Then that OF
sarah Orme Jewett, whose dark, sombel
face may be seen in constant company with
Mrs. DANES T. Fields. Constance Feni-
more Woolson, Grace King and Edith n.
Thomas are other spinster writers.
Octave Thanet, although a singqlarly
beautiful and graceful woman, Is still
Alice French. Even after recalling the
names Of Jean Ingelow, Charlotte Bronte,
Nora Perry and all we can think OF,
whether still living or not, it is still much
easier to name long list Of married wom-
