For some time Mr.. f. S. Mackenzie
has had men at work on the bank of the
river between Woodstock and the
Bridgewater village, near the mouth of
the Curtis brook, and the, gold bearing
rock has been found, as it has in several
other places in that section. The scene
of operations is in Woodstock and Mr..
Mackenzie now has a small lump of gold
which is, as far as can be learned, the
first ever mined in that town. There
are gangs of men working at two points
according to the Woodstock Spirit of
Age where there is vein, but what it
will amount to cannot be conjectured
until work has progressed further.
From fiye tons of rock about $50 pounds
of concentrates were secured. Mr.. Reed
who has been at the OttaqLechee mine,
exhibited Wednesday of last week
lump of solid gold weighing pounds
and seven ouncPs-a beautiful specimen
which is worth 5000. He showed an
other lump, not of solid gold, however,
which would just fill vest packet, and
valued at $500. Work has been going on
at the Ottauquechee all the fall up to
this time.
Rev. H. c. Farrar of the Grace Metho-
dist church of Albany, New York, will

The case of DR.. ]. Marston Rider,
charged with the murder of the infant
child of Cora Lewis when attending her
in childbirth in Rochester, October "a
1894, was ended in the Windsor County
court at Woodstock Tuesday by YER
dict of not guilty. The jury had been
absent but twenty minutes. During the
Justice trial in Rochester last January
the case attracted very wide attention.
1t has occupied this court nearly week.
Close scrutiny of the circumstaDtlal evil

preliminary trial, produced the verdict

This is the present situation: The
Turkish Government has deliberately
and officially decreed that the Armeni-
ans shall be eXterminated, or at least so
far massaCred that those left alive will
not form anything like a majority of the
population of any province or district.
The Powers knew this, and so de-
manded cessation of the awful work.
The Turkish Government replies with
evasions and 'blufing," and goes right
on with the slaughter. Thus far about
10000 Armenians have been killed out
right and $50, 600 are being syste matical-
ly driven to death by starvation. The
Porte tells the Powers to keep their
hands off, or it will be the worse for
them, and they all meekly obey. Eng
lands present policy of non-interfer-
ence, so entirely in contradiction with
the policy recently outlined by Lord
Salisbury. is probably due to the tardy
discovery that British interests would
suffer instead of gain by partition of
Turkey. Her trade would incur heavy
losses by the parcelling out of Turkey
hitherto one of her best markets--be-
tween the Continental Powers. More
tver, the presence of Russia in ASIA
Minor, and of France in Syria, would
vastly increase the difficulty of provid-
ing for the adequate defence of India.

Despite all her boasted civilization and
enlightenment, England is as barbarous
as Persia was in its worst days. She has
always been bully among weak ma
tions, as she was with Nicaragua recent

She respects nothing but force. A York
town was needed to teach her to pay
some regard to the rights of her sup

the latter part of the last century. When

HON. II. II. POWERS INTER-
VIEWED.
He Believes a Tariff Bill Will be
Passed Soon-No War Expected.

Congressman Powers was in Burling-
ton Monday evening on his way home
from Washington and when asked by
Free Press reporter regarding the out
look for the passage of a revenue meas
ure, said that he thought bill would
pass the House in a few days, putting
duty on wool, lumber and perhaps few
other things. 1t is expected that such a
measure would raise S40,000,000 or $50,-
OOO,0O0 of additional revenue, Should
such a bill pass the Senate, Judge Pow.
ers believes that the president would
sign it. Aside from this it is probable
that no tariff legislation will be autemped
at this session.
He doubted if any financial legislation
would be accomplished. A new bond
measure would not be likely to succeed
on account of the silver complexion of
the Senate.
When asked concerning the Veuezue-
Ian question he said that the feeling in
Congress was reflected by the unani-
nous passage of the Hit bill by both
houses. No one expects war, but all do
not give the same reason why they do
not expect it.
In regard to his own committee, the
committee on Pacific railroads, he said
the question was how to save $50, ,000.-
900 owed to the government by the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific rail-
roads. Various plans have been sug-
gested. Leaving myself out, said the
Judge, with characteristic modesty. the
committee is very strong one and is
composed of IS lawyers and laymen.
Wnen asked how the Speaker COM
mittee assignments were received, he
said: Every man who received a good
place declares Speaker Reeds selections
first class. Those who did not receive
such places express some doubts about
it. Gov. Dingley's selection for chair
man of the ways and means committee
is an admirable one, the best which
could possibly have been made.
Congress man Powers is of the opinion
that Speaker Reeds name, is mentioned
at Washington oftener than that of any
other presidential candidate, and he ad-
ded, the chairman of every Congress.
lanai committee heard from is strong

The Presidents Appeal.

In response to the Presidents calamity
message sent to Congress last Friday,
the House has passed bill for raising
revenues for the Government. 1t will
be remembered that in his annual mes
sage, the President dwelt upon the de-
plorable condition of the treasury, and
the urgent need of prompt remedies
Ignoring the fact that there was a
monthly excess of expenditures over
receipts of over $4.000,000, the President
laid the blame for the evil upon the
present currency system, and as re.
lief demanded the retirement of the
greenbacks, borrowing in the meantime
to secure the funds for this purpose.
With the greenbacks can celled, said the
the President, these mediums, (which
are, now, again paid out after their re-
demption in gold, from the treasury to
be again redeemed upon presentation,
making therefore, as he claims con-
stant and continual drain upon the treas
ury gold) would be powerless to further
deplete the Treasury gold reserve, and,
consequently would restore confidence.
He claims that there is need of rev.
enue measure, on the ground that there
that the present fiscal year will show
but a small deficit and that the next
fiscal year will show an actual though
small surplus. According to Carlisle,
Carlisle being but Cleveland's echo,)
the internal revenue in the remaining
seven months win show an increase of
1928 per cent. over the same months of
last year, although thus far in the
fiscal year the internal revenue has
shown a decided decrease. He also
makes the same fantastic claims for an
increase in the customs revenues, in the
face of the fact that there has been

Stop Sale of Liquor on Sundays.

The village authorities of st. Adams
served notice Saturday night at all the
places in town where liquor was sold
that the bars must be closed Sunday and
no liquor sold. AS far as can be learned
the orders were strictly observed and
thirsty st. Albanians went dry. The
order is to remain in force in the future.
The proprietors of the place generally
express satisfaction and say they are
glad to close if no one else keeps open.

Hotel Keepers Plea.

L. 7. Mosely proprietor of the Rock
ingham hotel, Bellows Falls, in which
liquors were seized Monday night ap-
peared Tuesday before Justice Williams,
claiming the liquors to be portion of a
former stock on hand when he was
prosecuted two weeks ago, which he in
tended send the party of whom they were
purchased. He had sold none and did
not intend to. No evidence was shown
by the States attorney contradicting the
statement and the liquor will probably
be returned to Mosely, although the
Justice reserved his decision.
