CURRENT COMMENT.

Many Vermont villages with good
waterpowers and manufacturing facili-
ties could by a little well-directed effort
secure the location of new Industries
were it not for the fact that when a
location is wanted for the purpose the
value of the land suddenly rises several
hundred per cent. The would-be loca-
tors are thus led to believe that they
have fallen among thieves and stay out
Usually the free gift of location would
be tremendously good investment for a
town. Hardwick Gazette.
Vermont is looked upon by farmers of
other States, especially those of the fer
tile West, as cold, mountainous, hard
and barren, but it is doubtful if any State
of the Union can show better condition
of the farming population. Vermont's
better days are close at hand. Her val
leys and streams are attracting her
proper share of the great manufacturing
industries of New England. and the
healthfulness of her mountain air and
the grandeur and beauty of her scenery
are sprinkling her over with flourishing

Brattleboro doesn't want "rum cure" !;
it may be, too, that some of its "people
of prominence and substance" wouldn't
be harmed by a course at one. But be that
as it may, there is little sense in indulg-
ing in wholesale denuhciation of the
cures, at any rate just now. 1t may be
true that "the grace of God and the vic
tins own will power are "the funda-
mental factors in the cure of inebriety";
but what is going to happen when the
victim is insensible to the demands of his
Maker and hasn't any will power?
Nothing, evidently, but progress from
bad to worse and finally miserable end.
1t is in waking men up to the realization
of what they are doing, by getting the
rum out of them, that these cures are
useful. 1t may be "quackery" in some
degree, but if all quackery were elimi-
mated from the world there wouldn't be
much left of it.

RESCUED AT LAST.

The big engine which went to the bot
tom of the river on the morning of May
II, taking with it Il portion of the trestle
over the river here, has finally been put
upon dry land again. The job was COM
pleted on Sunday last. The previous
Sunday the wrecking gang, assisted by a
diver, rolled the machine over two or
three times and got it into shallow water
near the north shore. On Friday and
Saturday it was rolled some more and
placed right side up on platform of
heavy timbers resting on the bottom of
the stream. Sunday morning a plat
form was laid from the track down the
bank to the engine and track spiked to
it, up which the machine was pulled lat
er in the day. Sunday night 1t was on the
side-track at the station, and on Monday
1t was towed to the shops at st. Albans.
1t had dllapIdated appearance. The
cab and smoke-stack were torn off at an
early stage in the rescuing operations,
and before they were concluded not
much was left of it except the wheels,
frame, boiler and some minor parts
inside the frame. However, the railroad
men said it could be put in running or
der very shortly and at small expense
compared with the cost of new ma
chine.
There remain of the wreckage in the
river only a few car trucks and some
small pieces of the bridge.

ADDISON COUNTY COURT.

" Considerable business was done in the
County court last Thursday afternoon
and Friday.
In the case of State vs.. Adolphus Hap
py of Vergennes, charged on informa-
ton with burglariously entering the
house of a colored and weak-witted
woman named Jane Strong with the in
tention of committing rape, the jury
promptly brought in a verdict which
made Happy unhappy, saying he was
guilty of all that was charged against
him. On Saturday morning Happy was
given sentence of three years in the
State prison, to which destination he
has since been escorted. Sheriff Merritt
took him down there on Tuesday.
Antoine Jerome of Vergennes was
tried Thursday afternoon on the charge
of illegal fishing in Dead Creek in Fer
risburgh last winter, and was promptly
pronounced guilty. The respondent
was fined 500 and costs, which he could
not or would not pay, so he has gone to
the work house to serve the alternative
sentence, which will amount to few
days over year. Deputy Sheriff Cobb
took him down Monday.
Nelson J. Renaud, a Nergennes bar
Der, came into court and pleaded guilty
ting liquors contrary to the statute in
sIch case made and provided, and was
fined 500 and costs. He paid up and
thus escaped a prolonged sojourn In the
Rutland refrigerator.
Edward Larrow of Orwell was brought
in on an information of the States at.
torney alleging that he had fished lille
gally IN East creek in Orwell and in
Lake Ihamplain during the last winter.
The case was thoroughly tried and the
verdict was mot guilty.. Mr.. Tupper
defended Larrow.
Thomas Collay and William Larock
had trial Friday afternoon on an in
formation charging them jointly with
having stolen IS worth of chickens in
Salisbury on the night of March IL last.
The facts of the case have hitherto been
published. The young men were
brought in guilty of the crime charged,
which, although grand larceny, was not
very grand, or Judge Tyler would have
given them a more severe sentence than
he did, which was year for each in the
house of correction, TO which rest-cure
/ they were taken on Monday in company
with Jerome. Mr.. Tupper was their
counsel.
Court came in at S 80 Saturday morn
ing, ana nOtnlnS OF puOnc interest was
done with the exception of the sentenc-
ing of the prisoners who had been con-
victed, as above detailed. The court at
8 :l5 took recess to Tuesday, August /,
at 10 a. m. At that time it is expected
the case of the wardens of the First
Episcopal society of Addison county vs..
Isaac l.. Eells ct al. will come on for
trial. This case has been once tried
with a verdict for the defendants, but
was sent down for re-trial by the SUI
preme court on the plaintiffs exceptions.
The trial is likely to last from eight to
twelve days.
There are two liquor cases still undis-
posed of, but whether they will be tried
or not at the adjourned session cannot
now be told. Except for them. there
will be nothing more for the court tC
do at this term except to try the Epis,
copal society's will case. =

HAMMOND, BUSH & Co.
THE CREDITORS MEET TO CHOOSE
ASSIGNEES.

ASSUMES.
Yesterday was the date appointed for
the meeting of the creditors of the failed
Orwell firm of Hammond, Bush & Co.
at the insolvency court here to choose
one or more assignces.
1t did not look yesterday as if result
could be reached last night. The credi-
tors began to come Wednesday afternoon,
but most of them put in their appearance
yesterday morning. The great majority
of the indebtedness was represented in
the voting. There were anywhere from
one hundred to two hundred persons here
to vote, but AS they were not all together
at any one time, it is impossible to state
the number accurately. Judge Slade
found that the probate court rooms would
not contain them, and so adjourned to
the main court room, every seat in which
was taken. The thrOng included many
lawyers from Rutland, Burlington and
elsewhere, Who came to act as counsel or
to vote on proxies. All three members
of the firm where here.
The voting began in the forenoon and
kept up all day, each claimant or holder
of proxy voting as soon as his claim
had been proved. 1t was decided to
haye two assignees, one in York State
for the creditors in Ticond"roga and its
vicinity, who are pretty numerous, and
another in Vermont to act for the Ver-
mont creditors. The candidates for the
latter position were Hon. John w. Cram
ton of Rutland and G. NJ. Wilds, Esq,
of Middlebury.
The voting continued all day and had
not been finished when the court rose.
1t will be resumed this morning. The
choice made cannot be known till some
| time today.

The country may suffer from lumber
famine in the not distant future. An ex-
pert says that woodlands "now cover
450,O00,O 900 acres, or about twenty-six per
cent Of the area. OF this, not less than
$4,000, 900 are cut over annually. 1t is
also stated that, while the wood grow
ing annually in the United States
amounts to $4,000, 100000 cubic feet,
the amount cut annually is 24,0OO,000,-
600 cubic feet, besides vast amount
destroyed by fire and not included in
the estimate. The country's supply rs
being depleted, therefore, twice as fast
as it is being reproduced, which clearly
goes to show that timber famine is ap-
preaching quite rapidly. 1t must be
very serious when 1t comes, and cannot
be relieved very easily or soon."

The jury in the case of Lizzie Borden,
on trial at Taunton, Mass, for the muir
der of her father and step-mother, on
Tuesday brought in a verdict of not
guilty. The respondent was thereupon
discharged. 1t took the jury but an
hour to make up their minds. The gov
ernment's case was weak from the start,
and it is difficult to see how any other
verdict could have been reached on the
basis of the evidence adduced. And yet
there isn't particle of evidence tending
to show that any one else committed
the crime

The Bolivians settled the fractional
paper currency problem IN curious but
effective way. There was none in the
country, so when bank notes were issued
it soon came to be the custom to make
change by tearing the notes into pieces.

pieces, and in course of time whole bank
notes became rarity. The government
