are thought to be assured for 1893, among
which may be mentioned creameries at
Peacham and Waitsfield, large canning
establishment at Burlington, and at Ca
naan a furniture factory to employ 100
persons and calling for an investment of
$4,000.
AS whole, it appears that for 1892
more farms were sold, more enterprises
undertaken, and more capital invested in
them than during the year previous. This
certainly indicates healthy condition of
both our agricultural and manufacturing
interests and goes to show that those who
have foreseen an improved condition of
our industrial affairs have been correct in
their judgment. Capital is seeking invest
ment in local enterprises. Agriculture is
moving forward slowly but surely, and i'm
proved, certain and economical methods
are taking the place of guesswork and
wasteful and wornout practices.
SO far as my acquaintance goes, there is
hopeful feeling prevailing in the state,
and there seems to be good reason to be-
lieve that the upward course is but fairly
begun and that there lies before us an
era of prosperity, the extent of which is
to be measured largely by the effort of each
individual citizen. V. |. SPEAR.

The nnIIrond. WIN WIN.

The projected strike of the Chicago
switchmen has assumed large proportions,
but the roads affected by it do not seem to
be greatly disturbed. 1t is reported that
these roads have resolved TO band them
selves together to resist the demands of the
switchmen, and that whatever losses may
result to any line growing out of strike
will be met by pro rata contribution upon
all of them. If the switchmen organize
with the same determination the fight bids
fair to be bitter one. The fact, however,
that an order has been sent out by one of
the great roads demanding an immediate
answer on the part of the switchmen as to
their intentions seems to indicate that the
railroad managers feel confident they hold
the winning cards.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF,
More Vaults For Silver.
Additional Room Needed by the PhiIR-
deIphIa Mint TO Store the Bullion.

Additional Room Needed by the Phila-
deIphIa Mint to store the Bullion.
The vaults of the United States mint in
Philadelphia hold the largest amount of
bar silver ever stored in one place in the
United States. The quantity is 10000
600 ounces, or fully enough with the usual
alloy to make no less than $50, 000,0O sill
yer dollars.
The vaults are filed to overlooking and
the bullion is being received from the gov
eminent at the rate of $4,000 ounces a
month. Besides this amount there are
sealed in the separate vaults $4,000, 900
in coined silver. The seal on the door has
not been broken for two years. All the
available storage space having been utiliz-
ed, it has been found necessary to have an
other steel lined vault constructed for the
sole purpose of storing the bullion.
The condition of affairs is far beyond all
precedent in the history of the mint. Pre-
vious to 1890 it was rare event to have
stored within the walls of the mint more
than a single million ounces of bullion.
There was up to that time never a day
when there were three million ounces at
one time on hand

The strange story Of a Preacher.

Rev. S. II. Buchanan, eX-treasurer of the
board of trustees of the state insane asylum,
of Little Rock, Ark, who is under arrest
for embezzlement, states that his stealing
was actuated by desire to purchase St.
Johns college, a Masonic institution at
Little Rock. He said the college property
was worth about $4,000, and it was offered
to him for $50, 900. He intended to transfer
it to a syndicate and thereby clear over
$50, 900. In his efforts to secure the amount
necessary to purchase the college he has,
during the past few years, taken from the
treasury of the asylum the sum of $780,
600. Besides this he has borrowed various
amounts of money from persons all over
the state. He is unable to say what be-
came of the money.

Dennis Colgan, who died at Bridgeport,

by. In June, 1867, an express train
entered the bridge while the draw was cut
off, but Colgan succeeded in closing it, be-

his own life. On Thanksgiving day, 1872,

VermOnt's Industrial Record for
1892.

Made Up from the Returns Gathered INV

Vermont's record as here presented is
compiled entirely from reports from the
town clerks of the several towns. OF the
total number, pa towns are here reported.
VI the towns failing to report, all except
one were small towns from which there
was likely to be little or nothing to report.
The total number of farms sold in 1892
is 1914. Of this number 1876 were previ-
ously unoccupied. As compared with 1891
there has been an increase of $50 farm
sales. The following table shows the num-

A Lenten Suggestion.

people to be suave and amiable to strangers
for whom they care nothing, among their
own people whom they really dearly love
they are cross and unkind. at doesn't
mean anything" is the usual excuse for
the very reprehensible habit of "nagging"
and fault-finding among the various men,
bers of a family, and that is the saddest
part of it all. 1t really doesn't mean any
thing in the beginning 1t is simply a lit
tie swapping, snarling habit, that can east
ly be controlled, and yet it also means so
much that it produces GOODNESS and lack of
affection between brothers and sisters, a
want of sympathy between parents and
children, and miserable, unrestful home
atmosphere that is infinitely depressing. If
at this season of good resolutions each
member of the family would resolve to
treat the others with the same considera-
ton and would give TO their possessions
and qualifications the same liberal praise
that they bestow upon those of their ac-
quaintances, it might be a more salutary
Lenten discipline than most, and have bet
ter and more enduring results.-Nelc York

| 1t will be noted that sales have increased
in nine counties, diminished in four and
remained the same in one. The sales of
unoccupied farms have been as fol-
lows in the several counties: Addison, 2;
Bennington, 8; Caledonia, 81; Essex, 4;
Lamoille, o; Orange, 80; Orleans, IL;
Rutland, 8; Washington, %; Windham,
Al; Windsor, %. The total number of
farms reported as without tenants is 376.
Of this number Addison county has Is;
Bennington, %; Caledonia, As; Essex, Z;
Lamoille, 7; Orange, 81; Orleans, %;
Rutland, IS; Washington, 20; Windham,
"a; Windsor, SO. Chittenden, Grand Isle
and Franklin counties report no unoccu-
pied farms. Many of the farms reported
as without tenants are so from the fact
that a tenant has recently moved away
and no one has been found to fill the place.
Quite a number of farms are tenantless
because of the settlement of an estate.
OF 200 farms of which descriptions have
been recently received, 45 have been unoc-
cupied year or less. This goes to show
that there are likely to be certain times
when farms will be temporarily without
tenants and yet these farms may not prop
erly belong to What is generally known as
the class of unoccupied farms.
Our inquiries in connection with this
class of property have not been extended
to tracts of lands where farm buildings
have once been, but which passed out of
the list of farming lands years ago and
are now returning to their original and
proper use, the growing of forest trees. 1t
is believed that the figures here given of
the number of unoccupied farms at the
present time, which are suitable for farm
ing purposes, very nearly represent what
there are in the state, and would not seem
to be sufficient to occasion any considera-
BILE anxiety or to give rise to the fear
that the farming land of the state is to be
abandoned.
