never been paralleled in Albany was
the result last night of the fusion OF

tender greeting to Senator Hill, who
is now resident of this city. At least
1000 people thronged the great hall
and as many more listened to speakers
who were on the outside and unable to
get an admission. A noticeable fea-
ture of the affair was the presence, on
the stage as a cO-spealer with Senator
Hill, of Congressman Charles Tracey,
who is looked upon as personal repre-
sentative of President Cleveland. At
least 800 men took part in the escort
Of Senator Hill to the hall. among

when the CountIes were Formed.

When the Counties we're Formed.
When Vermont's first Legislature
convened the new State was organic
ed into two counties, Bennington and
Unity. This act was passed March
II. 1TTS. March 81 the name of
Unity was changed to Cumberland.
Cumberland included the territory
east OF the Green Mountains and was
divided into two shires by the "an-
Gent county line the Newbury and
the Westminster shire. Bennington
county had also two shires, Ben
nington ard Rutland At the Feb
ruary session, 1881. Bennington
county was divided, kept. p nnder
its own name substantially Muat is
now its territory, and its northern
part becoming Rutland county. The
same session Cumberland was divid-
ed into three counties-Windham and
Windsor, substantially as now exist
ing; and Orange county, comprising
everything to the Canada line north
of Windsor aud east of Rutland.
October IS, 1885, Addison county
was established and October %,
1897, Chittenden county. November
5, 1892, Franklin, Caledonia, Or
leans and Essex counties were estab-
lished, but the Orange county terri
tory in the above counties was to
continue to be annexed to Orange
county till October l, 1876. Grand
Isle county was formed November 8,
1902, getting North and South Hero
from Chittenden and its other three
towns from Franklin. November l,
1910, Jefferson county was incOrpO-
rated and it was organized in 1911,
beginning it's working existence De-
cember l, 1911. 1t got its territory
from Orange, Caledonia. Chittenden
and Addison counties. The name of
Jefferson was changed to Washing
ton November s, 1914. Lamoille

Farmers Foolish Fancles.

A few years ago the farmers of
Vermont thought this a good State
to immigrate from, but now in com
pairing this with other States it is
found to be one of the very best for
good permanent business and resi-
dence. If one-tenth of the money
that has been sent to those cyclone,
food, locust and famine breeding
States in the West, and lost, could
have been used here to improve
stock, farming utensils, clearing and
improving the land, erecting larger
and better equipped buildings for
homes, animals and crops, this would
be the richest and most profitable
agricultural State in the Union of
its size. They have learned a lesson.
Most of those who sent their hard
earned money West, hoping to be-
come Vanderbilts in a year or two, or
sold their eyer-prOductive Vermont
farms for quarter their value to in
vest in phantom chasing, living in
sod houses and reaping an abundant
crop of grasshoppers, have returned,
or would if they could. A good
steady yield is better than periodical
big crops of wheat, etc, that will not
fetch enough to pay cost of produc-
tion and marketing, and the next
year have your buildings and stock
moved without notice to another
county by those gentle breezes or the
surplus temperance drink. Use your
brains, money and muscle in Yer.
mont, and it will pay you.-Rutland

tiser reports that the Senator's are
amusing themselves with a new puz-
zle. 1t consists of a small card ruled
off into sixteen squares and sixteen
little pieces of pasteboard, each bear
ing a number and running from one
to sixteen. The trick is to arrange
these numbers on the card so that
the result will be thirty-four, no mat
ter which way you add them. The
puzzle came from Chicago, and the
fever of trying to solve it has taken
hold of nearly every member of the
Senate. Even Mr.. Stevenson drops
his gavel into the hands of a Sena-
tor and retires to the palatial vice
Presidents room to try his hand at
the puzzle. The cloak and retiring
rooms are filed with Senators busy
at work on the cardboard and five
figures. Senator Davis of Minnesota
did it in the shortest time, with Hig-
gins of Delaware a close second. In
fact, the Republican side of the cham
Der came out far ahead of the Demo
cratic side.-Boston Journal.
