There was a time when Vermont was

Morgan horses; but various influences re-
Quilted in q partial loss Of the prestige OF
Vermont Sheep and in recent years tho In

mont upon which sheep are about the only
animal that will thrive; for they will
climb very steep places and live on land
that would starve any other domesticated
animal.
There Is every reason therefore, why many
Vermont farmers should, raise sheep, and
the increaclng tendency to produce mutton
rather than wool is ono Of the encouraging
signs of ths times OF which they should not
lose sight. Tho American Wool aud Cot

Tho mont-Massschusstts Boundary.

From the Bratteboro Reformer.l
Tn, St. Johnsbury Republican OF a re-
cent date attempts to discuss the question
of the boundary line between Vermont and
Massachusetts aad Its remarks ers endorsed
by the Springfield Republican. The ST.
Johusbury contemporary says:
The territory involved focus up in round
numbers TO some 50 square miles on each
eide OF the Connecticut river-about the
area OF three average townships Across
the river all the northern tier of Massachu-
setts towns would experience a more or less
pruning. Bernardston, Leyden, Colerain
and Heath, whose present JOINT valuation is
about million and ha.f would all lose big
slices of territory. Rowe, with valua-
ton of quarter OF million would be split
almost exactly in halves, and Munroe and
Clarksburg wouli DO set over in Vermont
bodily. Williamstovn would lose a third
OF its territory, Including Williams college
and the big bore" itself, tina costly Hoo
sac tunnel, would come within one of pok-
Ing its furtbsr end INTO Green mountain
| scenery. La round numbers, the valuation
of Massachusetts, would shrink q couple OF
millions of which half a million would go
to New Hampshire and the balance to Yer
| mout.
The Republican falls into the common
error OF supposing that the now acting COM
mission purpose to establish the first con-
tempiatsd boundary liuo. IL this were to
be done it would undoubtedly cut through
northern Massachusetts, as described by
tho Republican as Ha2su (thon spelled
Ha2zep) Acknowledges In his journal
that be struck north several degrees
from where he was ordered to run
the Inns, Tho Hazen survey has been
maintained for 100 years and no court in the
land would sanction change. The new
survey grows out of the fact that Massa-
chusetts has run out liue two or three
times in recent years and has, 1t IL believed,
encroachsd upon Vermont territory, going
several rods north OF the Hazen line. 1t is
to settle on the old Iazen survey that the
new lines are being run and Massachusetts
has no occasion to fear the loss OF any con
siderable portion Of its possessions.

1t would be a mistake to suppose that the
Episcopelans of Vermont acquiesce with
entire aud cordial uuauimity in the hoice
of bishop made by tdeir convention.

from a missal or other book of devotion,
and apparently wholly abstracted from

Bishop Brooks's low church views and
practices.

The election of Rev. DR.. Arthur C. A.

Episccpel bishopric of Vermont may be re
gardsd with much comfort by both high

He ia "a true and strong man, a remarkably

With his friend, the late Bishop Brooks, in

the Society of st. John the Evangelist, but
it was understood at the time of his cand
