END OF THE CORPORATION.


WEST RANDOLPH, March Many peo-
pie of this place were surprised to learn of
the action taken by the stockholders of the
Green Mountain Stock Farm company at
their meeting at New Haven, Conn, We'd
nesdny, thinking that it would cripple the
business carried on here.
The reporter of the FREE Press has been
informed by reliable parties that this action
was the unanimous vote of the stockholders
at their meeting before these proceedings
were commenced This is done to wind up
the business as corporation individuals
are to continue the business on the same
scale as heretofore.
The local indebtedness is very small and
there are no other liabilities in Vermont or
elsewhere except as to stockholders.
When this corporation was organized
Jersey cattle were selling at fancy prices,
but to-day there is no demand for Jerseys at
very high prices and Of course the stock has
shrunh accordingly. No one will lose any
thing out of these proceedings outside of the
stockholders, and they only by the depre-
citation in the value of the stock.
People of this place have no cause for
alarm. as the business will be carried on
under the same management and on as ex-
tensive scale as heretofore. This business
has furnished employment for a large num-
Der of people, and the Stock Farms are al
most village by themselves.
Hon. William II. Dubois, as assignee of
the corporation. will push the liquidation of
the company as fast as possible.

whole expense. Constable Buchanan ar

trial will be held here Friday morning. 9th

The New Telephone Line.

The new METALLIC circuit telephone line
that is being built across the country to
Bar Harbor will be great convenience
to the people of that famous resort.
Tuesday Lineman Howell talked over
this line from Augusta to Camden. and
said that every word could be distinctly
heard. This was the first connectio on
made over the new line. II will continue
direct across from Camden to Bar Har-
Dor, and will also reach Bangor, ELS
worth and other important points in that
section. 1t is being built by the New
England Telephone & Telegraph Co..
and crossing the town of Union cost the
com pany $500. The idea is to construct
another line next summer to Bar Harbor,
IL the season at that place is a lively one.
This will give this-resort telephone con-
nection with New England, and in fact
all places reached by the long distance
telephone.

II the ball game occurred the
DRILL AND SHAM FIGHT.

This was pretty and spirited spectacle,
and gave some idea of what an actual skir-
mish might be under the new system of
tactics. In the late civil war the formation
was generally an extended skirmish line
for developing the position of the enc
my, and then close, shoulder ito
shoulder order for fighting. In the last
thirty years the imp ovements in fire arms
have been such that men standing in close
order would suffer fearfully. Therefore the
modern tactics place the men in a more
open order with inter walls Of about five feet .
for all advances. Among the spectators
yesterday were some of the old veterans Of
the war, and some of the regulars from the
fort. The Cadets, after being warmed up
by few preliminary manmuyres on the
ball grounds, started upon tho double
quick, in single file for the circus grounds.
good sized audience followed them.
Arriving on the ground, Lieut. Jersey
divided the command into two companies,
one of which was directed to take possess
sion of and hold certain gully upon the
northeast side of the field, while the other
company formed near back bay on the
south side of the field, preparatory to at
lacking the force in the gully. From the
attacking party small force was told to
pass along under shelter of the high bank,
and attack the flank of the other party
when the engagement should begin. The
advance of the main body was oonduc ted
with an inspiring dash which seemed like
old times,'' to some of the veterans present.
The Cadets, in open order, would dash for
ward few yards and throwing themselves
upon the ground, fire several volleys, then
rise and dash forward again, until they
got near enough for a Layonet charge, in
which they were CALAMITY met by the de-
tenders Of the gully. But in the meanwhile
the gallant defenders had been sorely
pressed by the flank fire of the party which
had orept around under the bank. At the
critical moment these fankers had done
great execution.
The Cadets leave this forenoon at 10
O'Clock. President Whitman of Colby, sent
them an invitation to meet his boys at
Colby, SO the company will stop at Water
vile, where there will be dinner at the
Elmwood and other festivities.

Yesterday was the last full day which the
Coburn Cadets were to spend in Portland,
and they filled it full of work and play. In
the forenoon Lieutenant Hersey led his
battalion over to Fort Preble, where they
were received by the regulars of Battery E,
Second United States. The visit to Fort
Preble was of great interest to most of the
Cadets, as it was to them the first example
of large fort garrisoned by regular
soldiers
In the afternoon the battalion went to
the base ball grounds, where parade was
held, followed by a game of base ball be
tween the Murphy Balsams and the Maine
State college nine, reinforced by Madden
the Portland pitcher. The game was closely
contested but not very spirited and resulted
at the end of seven innings in a victory for
the State College boys.
The Maine State College team was
assisted by J. Libby of the Portland
Athletic club, aud Madden of thePortlands.
Madden pitched fine game for the college
team and was well supported Palmer
caught good game and worked hard.
Libby batted in fine style, his two Dagger
practically winning the game tor the college
team. DeHasseth put up a good game at
Ii GU, olu SoWdu mdue al excellent CbtCA

For the Balsams, Webb was rather wild
but was exoellentIy supported. Edgar

In the first. Burns took first on Frost's
