81, $50 to surplus account. The old
matter with the Maverick National
Bank is nearly settled, IS per cent of

Barton bank having been paid. It is

small dividend, leaving, at most, a
very small loss.
That little nugget in the form of
Z. S. Treasury check, which the Ver-
mont farmers are now receiving as
sugar bounty, comes in play when it
is needed and appreciated. 1t will be
we'll to remember that the maple SUI
gar bounty law would never have
passed if Gen. Circuit, M. c., had not
fought with all his characters tic en-
ergy and persistence for it. 1t was
only by the greatest effort that it was
pushed forward into a law.

If our readers appreciated the value
of set of MONITOR files, they would
put each paper carefully away to be
used later for reference, and for the
history of local events that become
more and more important and inter-
esting as the years go by. Every is
sue of the weekly paper is faulty in
many respects, but it contains, new
ertheless, much that is of Importance
and value to the reader. Lay your
papers carefully away. Get them
bound if you can afford it; if not, tie
them up in bundles, and you will be
surprised how many times they will
be referred to afterwards.
