Woodbury. VS.. Herald.

The great libel suit OF Gov. Woodbury.
against the Rutland Herald began Tues
dav afternoon at clock at Burling-
ton with Chief Judge Ross and Judges
Rowell and Tyler on the bench. Seated
within the bar at one table were HIS
ExcelIency, Gov. Woodbury., and his
attorneys, Hon. D, J.. Foster, ex Gov. W..
p. Dillingham;, and Hon. Seneca Hasel-
ton, ex-minister to Venezuela. At an
other table sat P. w. Clement and r. A..
Perkins of the Rutland Herald associa-
ton and their attorneys, c. A. Prouty,
c. NJ. Wilds, and p, M. Meldon. The
rumor that the hearing was to be prl-
vate had tendency to make the number
of visitors rather small, but what was
lacking in size was more than balanced
| by the interest manifested.
The agreement relative to the method
of trial and the award and settlement OF
damages was read by Mr.. Foster, fol-
lowed by the declaration OF the case
based on the alleged libelous article in
| the Herald OF August 4 1879 I. A.
Prouty then made the plea or answer tc
the plaintiff in a few words, For the
next few minutes there was a lively tusslt
between the opposing counsel regarding
a proposed amendment to the pleadings
to which the plaintiff strenuously object
ed. Judge Ross held that the origina
agreement to the submission must bC
adhered to in the trial of the case.
The opening statement for the plaintiff
was made by Mr.. Foster.
Mr., Prouty made the opening state
ment for the defence in few words, say
ing that they would endeavor to show
that the statements in the alleged libel
Gus article were true in every detail, etc

Bulletins from the Experiment Sta

tion.-The experiment station at Bur
lngton is about TO publish Bulletin 40 on
potato Blights and Fuugicides," and 81
on "Analyses of Commercial Fertilizers. y"
Bulletin 40 discusses the distinctions
between the various potato blights, par
ticularly the different forms OF potato
diseases which of late years have been
grouped underline general name OF early
blight" These disorders are fully
described and illustrated by figures ofthe
leaves, and preventive measures discussed.
The relative value of various moditica-
tons OF Bordeaux mixture is also shown.
Bulletin 81 contains the analyses, guar
antees and station Valuations OF fifty
brands OF commercial fertilizers sold in he
state this wear. Therei reason to believe
that fully nine.tenths of the trade OF the
state is confined TO the brands contained
in this bulletin which buyers may find
helpful as ready means OF comparing
the relative agricultural and Commercial
value of goods offered Tor sale.
These, as well as other bulletins OF the
station, will be sent tree to any address OF
application to Experiment Station, Bur

American Nails Supreme.

At the recent meeting OF nail manu-
facturers in New York Wire Nail
association was formed to keep up
the prices, and it was decided to
advance prices Is cents after May l..
But the most interesting feature OF
the convention to the general public
was the tribute paid by the manu-
facturers to the superiority OF the
wire nail. One of the manufacturers
thus spoke to New York Tribune
representative:
1.-THE American wire nail is supreme in
this country, and there is no competition
from foreigners. Although the wire nail
is a native of Germany, it has attained a
finish in The United States which makes
it more popular than the foreign article
with Americans. The German wire nail
is heavier guage or thicker than ours
Several attempts have been made to
introduce it here, but without success
although the foreign nails ruled in this
market in the days before Americans
started to make wire nails. The last
attempt to import foreign goods was
by Boston jobber, who brought $500

A Good Word for rIr. Allison.

One of our subscribers who went
from Vermont to Iowa is now very
naturally an ardent supporter OF
Iowa's favorite son, Senator Allison,
in the presidential race. Mr. Allison
is still in the race and may be in it
very decidedly if there should be sew
eraI ballots at the national conven-
ton. Concerning his candidacy our
subscriber writes as follows:
1--WE of Iowa are very hopeful that Mr.
Allison will he selected as the republican
standard-bearer tor the ensuing cam
paign. | have always believed that
owing to existing conditions he will be
the winner and man that all sections OF
the country can support with pride and
enthusiasm. While if my wishes we're
consulted, Mr.. Reed would be the man,
because he is New England candidate,
and we are Yankees, hope that the right
will triumph, and that prosperity will
again be ours to enjoy in abundant
measure.
