1t will be noted that sales have in
creased in nine counties, diminished in
four and remained he same in one. The
sales of unoccupied farms have been as
follows in the several counties: Adj
son, q Bennington, G. Caledonia. 81;
Essex, + Lamoillc, 9; Orange, 80;
Orleans, II; Rutland, 8; Washington,
%; Windham, Al Windsor, %. The
total number of farms reported as with
out tenants is 376. OF this number, Ad-
olson county has IS; Bennington, &c;
Caledonia, As; Essex, Z; Lamoillc, I;
Orange, 81; Orleans, %; Rutland, 10 ,
Washington, %; Wlndham, o. Wind
sor, So. Ch,ttcnden, Grand Isle aud
Franklin counties report no unoccupied
farms. Many of the farms reported as
without tenants are so from the fact
that tenant has recently moved away
and no one has been found to fill the
place. Quite number OF farms are ten
antlcss because of the settlement OF an
estate OF 200 farms of which descrip-
tions have been recently received, +5 have
been unoccupied year or less. This
goes to show that there are likely to be
certain times when farms will be tenn
porarily without tenants and yet these
farms may not properly belong to what
is generally known as the class OF unoc.
cupied farms. Our inquiries in connec
ton with this class OF property have not
been extended to tracts of land where
farm buildings have once been, but which
passed out OF the list of farming lands
years ago and are now returning &c
their original and proper use, the grow
ing of forest trees. 1t is believed that the
figures here given of the number OF unoc
cupied farms at the present time, which
are suitable for farming purposes, very
nearly represent what there are in tn,
6 State, and would not seem to be sufhci
ent to occasion any considerable anxiety
|. or to give rise to the fear that the farm
ing land of the State is to be abandoned

the district can use the money on

a part of the property OF the

WHAT ABOUT THE SURPLUS?

WHAT ABOUT THE SURPLUS?
[St. Johnsbury Calcdonan.l
When the new school law was
put before the people, one of the
first questions asked was as to
the disposition of any surplus
funds that might remain in the
old districts treasury when its
bills were all paid and it's affairs
duly wound up prior TO the new
departure on April list. Thela
itself was Silent on this question
and, naturally enough, the con-
clusion reached by many was
that, as the law called upon the
town to settle certain debts in
Cured by the districts under the
old regime, it would be perfectly
proper and just for the town to
take possession of whatever sur
plus there might be in the district
exchequer on the last day OF
March. The Burlington Free
Press took this view of it, and
suggested that such surplus
funds be handed over to the
town school fund in charge O
the new board of directors.
A correspondent of the Ere,
Press demurs to this method O
settling the surplus problem, anc
thinks it would hardly be fair 70
the town to thus appropriat
whatever may be left of the dis
trict funds. He asks: "Woul
it be Square or just for the SUI
plus which may have accumula
ted by extra taxation and jud
cious management to be paid t
the town and used to pay the il
debtedness of an adjoining di.
trict which had just erected
costly school house? ?" An

Senator Shcrman's resolution
changing the date of the inaugu-
ration from March i to April 80,
revives again the question which
has been much discussed in the
last decade. The principal OBJ

guration ought to come closer to
the election, instead of two
months further away. March +
