Something bad is sure TO happen to the
Portland lawyer who went TO d church
fair last week and, according to a local
paper. never spent a red cent, but car
ried an armful of small packages. which
he wrapped up before he left home and
carried them in his arms as he moved
from booth TO booth, to give the impress
sion that he had generously patronized
the fair. No one asked him Ia buy the
whole evening, seeing the great number
Of bundles he had already purchased.
And when he returned home he laughed
with fiendish glee as he unwrapped an
old shoe brush, one or two books, tin
dpper. two paintings, and vase from

1t Is not generally known that reward
was once offered for Senator MorrilPs
life. He told the story himself az meet
ing Of the Vermont Historical Society
about four years ago "In the early days
of the late war" he said, my picture
was put forth by rebel Virginia news
paper, with an advertisement Offering a
reward for me, dead or alive, of so. That
was usually offered for the recovery Of
runaway slaves. They described me as
"a person who would be expected TO have
been the author of Yankee Doodle"
rather than Of the Internal tariff Of 1871
The picture was, Of course, pleasing to
the old masters of the South. being
after the manner of Hogarth, and l have
not learned that it has been made immor-
tai by preservation in any Of their his
torica societies. 1t will be for posterity
TO say, if posterity should ever trouble
itself TO say anything. whether or not
Vermonters made a mistake i'm not sur
rendering me for the S25 Virginia re-
ward. The New York Tribune.
So far as the joke is on Mr. Morrill,,
this story may be true for aught we
know to the contrary, but it is not a fact
that it was the custom here to offer re-
wards for the recovery of runaway slaves,
dead or alive"

As illustrative OF the beauties of Vir-
Sinias syndicate system of collecting
revenue from taxpayers, a subscriber
Yesterday showed us a notice Of a land
grabber's tax account against him. which
mad been served but few hours before.
Tax had been paid on this piece Of pro-
perty subsequent TO the year for which
the notice was given, and he was wholly
ignorant Of any delinquency on the pro-
perty whatever until the notice was
served upon him. The amount delin-
quent was ~ cents. and would have been
paid promptly on presentation II the
state had made provision for such presen-
tation. No such presentation having
been made, the unconsciously delinquent
taxpayer was turned over to the tender
mercies Of the land-grabber, with the re-
suit that his indebtedness now is 50 70.

by which that result is reached:

In ordinary business transactions. as
in the case of rents. the possession OF a
receipt is prima facie evidence that all
previous Indebtedness had boon paid. For
sound and obvious reasons. 1t should be
conclusive, but about that we do not
know. In such cases as this, there has
been a failure OF due diligence on the
part of the State and It's agents TO en-
force collections. 1t may be and doubt
less is the fault OF the law in not re-
quiring officials to give notice and to
take steps to enforce the claim hut what
ever the cause. the taxpayer has to. suf-
fer, the State gets no benefit Il could
not have had by the exercise Of proper
care and diligence al first, and the iand-
grabber is the only one that is benefited.
This Is sad commentary upon a Legis-
lature that professed TO represent the
wealth, intelligence, and respecta bility.
Of the State. 1t is a practical confess
sion Of inability TO do with all the power
OF sovereignty In its hands. what private
individuals could do, and II is putting a
premium upon a ferret system IF extor-
ton and oppression against the poorest
class of Taxpayers. Had the Legislature

IS great excitement here over the appear
ance Of a genuine case of smallpox in
the negro quarter of Chesapeake School
District. The disease was brought here
from Norfolk by Alech Toliver a colored
man, who owns a small oyster-sloop.
About three weeks since TOliyer's son
was taken from the sloOp in Norfolk
and sent 10 the pest-house and the old
man and his vessel quarantined for
twenty-five days by the Norfolk Board Of
Health. But the old man ran the gaunt-
let and came home, to the great discom-
future OF the good people in the neigh
borhood of ST. Paurs Church The
County Board OF Health-Drs. Hunley,
Lane, and Foster-made an examination
Of the case to-day. Through DIR. Hunley
/ learn that the man had been vaccinated
and the disease was OF the discrete not
the cOnfiuent type, and therefore Of a
mild form.
Page the colored minister Of Glouces-
ter was "A guest Of the Tolver house
hold Saturday and Sunday, and returned
to Gloucester to-day. The Mathews
board having learned this, very properly
wired the Gloucester Board of Health to-
night and suggested that Page be strictly
isolated.
The Chesapeake District School Board
will probably suspend the public schools
in the immediate neighborhood Of ST.
Paurs Church and general vaccination
of the people will be ordered.

SWEPT BY FIRE.
Four of Winooski's Mandatory Firms
Burned Out.

At 5 O'Clock Saturday afternoon
fire was discovered iii the spool and
bobbin factory of T. l.. Frary on East
Canal street, Winooski. 1t soon
spread to the four-story building
owned by S. II. Weston and occupied
by Mason a Co., manufacturers OF
wood mantels and church pews, and a
general alarm was sounded.
A strong north wind was blowing
and Mason Il Co.'S plant was con-
sumed in 80 minutes. From there
the flames went across the street to
the saw mill and lumber yard of To-
hey e. Catlin, sweeping everything
before them, and including the lat
ter firms office, storehouses and three
small dwelling houses.
On the west of Mason Il Co. : estab-
lishment stood the great machine
shops of Edwards, Stevens 81 Co., and
faster than the firemen could retreat
did the flames follow in this direction
until the whole plant was consumed.
Here the tiremen made great effort
TO stay the progress Of the flames, and
with success.
With the exception Of a dozen tool
cheats ana their contents, which were
hastily removed from the first floor of
Mason 4 Co.'s building, not a dollars
worth of property was removed from
any of the shops.
The books and papers of Mason q
Co., Edwards Il Stevens and Tobey Il
Catlin were saved.
The loss is variously estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000
Mason Il Co. have an office at 1873
East AID street, New York, l3 EX-
change street, Boston, and in Concord,

Edwards q Stevens machine shops
were the second largest in northern
Vermont, some 30 men being em-
ployed. Their loss is total.
Tobey ~ Catlin saved IA portion of
their lumber.
The burned district covered a space
of nearly two acres.
