The stand taken by tho Vermont men,
bers regarding the appropriation of public
moneys for the support of sectarian
schools seems to have permeated the whole
House as shown by the throwing out of a
vast sum for the support of Indian
schools, where they are connected with
any sect. Our members take the stand
that no institution be 1t Catholic or any
other particular sect should have any
public money appropriated for it's support.

A WEEK IN CONGRESS.
BeIligerent Rights of Cuban Insurgents-
The Appropriation bills.

There was a debate In the United states
Senate Thursday on the resolution for the
recognition of the belligerent rights of the
Cuban insurgents and the alternative res
olution for the recognition of Cuban indie
pendence. Each speech in succession
seemed to outstrip the other In patriotic
fervor and in devotion to the Cuban cause.
Mr.. Morgan declared his belief than Spain
would not release her hold upon the throat
of Cuba, and that she would rather lose
the island as the result of war with the
United States than yield 1T for a price or
lose 1t through the success OF the insurrec-
tion. Considerable time was spent in the
House In consideration of the Indian APP
preparation bill The general pension bill
was sent to conference on the disagreeing
votes of the two Houses. The Senate
amendments to the diplomatic and consu-
lar bill were agreed to.
The House Friday agreed to the Senate
amendments to the military academy ap'
preparation bill. The greater part OF the
session was devoted to the consideration
of the Indian appropriation bill, ana al
adjournment was taken to Monday.
In the Senate Saturday the president pre-
tenn, MIR. Frye of Maine read Washing
tons farewell address. No business was
done.
The resolution of Mr.. Lodge for an in
ouiry into the facts and circumstance o
recent bond issues was taken up IN tn'
Senate Monday and discussed TIL the clos'
of the morning hour, when 1t went to the
calendar without action. Mr.. Morgan de
livered another installment of his speecf
in support of the concurrent resoluuof
for the rec ignition of Cuban belligerency
The oue estion of sppropriating money FOL

GORED BY A BULL.
Weybridgo Farmer Narrowly Escapes
Death From a vicious Animal.

Middlebury. Feb. 26.-John A. James, a
prominent young farmer of Weybridse
and we'll known in agricultural circles in
Addison county, was severely injured by
being gored by a fve-yearold Jersey bull
at hds home in Weybridge last evening.
He was leading the bull by a staff, when
the animal became fractions and the sta IF
was broken In the struggle, the bull keep
ing one part of it and James having the
other. Then the animal attacked Mr..
James viciously. He threw him a distance
of ten feet up against a fence and then
gored him badly in the side and slightly
about the head and face. his rushes In that
neishborhood apparently not having been
well directed. The arrival of the hired
man undoubtedly saved Mr.. James life,
but even his assistance would probably
have been too late had not the beast late
iy been dehorned. Mr.. James injuries
about one side are very severe, but unless
he has been injured internally he will
doubtless recover. Whether he is injured
internally or not was a matter Of uncer-
tainty to-day.

The report of the selectmen of the town
for the year 1895 will show that during the
past year, $4,000 of the railroad bonds have
been taken up, and that these with the
payments Of interest, etc, have actually
reduced the towns indebtedness about
$3.50 besides running the town. The re-
port will also show that not for years have
the towns taxes been SO closely collected
The looking up of a few delinquent tax
payers In jail has had a good effect. The
report of the town liquor agent will show
that during the year there was sold, os-
tensibly for mechanical, medicinal and
chemical purposes. $4700 worth of liquors
According to the last census, this would
show that every man. woman and child In

that each resident In this village had spent
$1.04 for liquor for the above mentioned
purposes. In addition to the agency there
