The House committee on agriculture
took up Congressman CIRCUITS oleo
margarine bill last week for a series
of hearings. The full committee was
present and much interest was shown
in the work. The bill is being op-
posed very strenuously by the oleo-
margarine manufacturers throughout
the country, but the loyal support
which it is receiving from the dairy
men should insure it's passage. The
members of the house are receiving
petitions from dairymens' associa-
tions and farmers all over the country
urging them to use their influence
that the bill may pass. Ex- Gov.
Hoard of Wisconsin, president of the
National Dairy Union and Farmers
National Congress, addressed the
committee last week in the interes is
of the bill. The bill provides that all
articles known as oleomargarine,
butterine, imitation butter or cheese
transported into any state or territory
to remain for consumption shall be

same as if it had been manufactured
in the state. 1t also provides that
after the passage of this act the tax
on oleomargarine as prescribed in
Sec. of the act approved in 1886
shall be one-fourth of one cent per
pound when the same is not colored
in imitation of butter, but when col
ored it shall be ten cents per pound.

down that night, as the ground was
not only that, but spongy and wet. A
pressure of the foot would bring up a
spirit on either side. Why they camp
ed us in such place when there were
plenty of better ones near by, was
more than we could tell, unless it was
because we had complained so much
of the heat and called SO loudly for
water the night before, that they
thought they would give us plenty
this time. Our clothing soon soaked
through, causing at first a cold chill
to canter over and through our bodies
like twinges of rheumatism. Some
selected as comfortable place as
they could and sat up all night, others
thought that the more water soaked
they got, the better they would stand
the drouth the next day.
July 1st we marched twenty miles,
crossing and bivouacing for the night
on the south side of Stawnton river,
not far from Roanoke. From this place
three escapes were made from the
officers squad, viz, Capt. D. J Stafford
and Lieut.. Edward F. GrisWoId Co. FL.
and Lieut.. A. G. Fleury Go. A. "Lieut.
Fleury first escaped by lodging into
the bushes; he was followed by SAT-
ford and Griswold. They crossed the
river by swimming, and lying in the
woods until dark, they then started
north. They were fed and piloted by
negroes, travelling north by night.
After while they were piloted by a
Confederate deserter, who joined
them. They crossed the James river
''nar the Natural bridge, and at Mill
- were hunted by provost guard
stationed there to intercept deserters.
They were pursued by blood hounds
and whistling bullets, and in their
flight became separated. Griswold
was re captured and sent back to Lib
by, Fleury had narrow escape from
death by fall from a precipice, from
which he tumbled head foremost into
a creek, but got off with cut in his
scalp, and made his way over the AL
leghany mountains and after travel
ing $50 miles, reached the Federal
lines at Beverly, Randolph county,
West Virginia, on the 23rd of July.
Captain Stafford reached the same
place twelve hours later. Both re-
ceived furloughs to visit their homes,
and rejoined their regiments in few
weeks" Vermont in the Civil War,

COUNTY COURT.
E III. WEBSTER.
TO BE CONTINUED.

County court opened for the March
term on Wednesday, Mar. II at 2
O'Clock in the afternoon. It should
have commenced at 10 in the morning
but owing to the absence of the side
judges did not open until 2 p. m.
The afternoon of the first day was
occupied with calling the docket and
were set for trial by jury, but after
the docket had been called only ten
stood for trial, and at present writing
this number has been diminished by
half by settlements. and entries of
"continued."
The court docket shows seventeen
cases set for trial; several of these
cases were also set for trial by jury.
At the calling of the court docket only
eight of the seventeen cases stood for
trial, five of which are divorce cases.
On the second day the only case for
trial was the town of Jay vs.. W. W.
Macomber ct. al. AS the attorney in
these cases were not ready for trial
on that day, and as no other case was
set for that day, court adjourned until
Friday morning at O'Clock, at which
time jury was called and the trial of
this case began. This was an ap-
pealed case and in substance as fol-
lows. Ell. G. Banister of Jay pur-
chased a lot of lease land known as
the johnson farm of one Shaw. Be-
fore purchasing Banister required re-
ceipts from Shaw showing that the
rent on said land had been paid to
date, Shaw pro daced receipt from
the town bearing dates of about that
time, showing that certain amount
had been received by the town for
rent on said premises; but not stating
whether paid in full Or not. On the
strength of this receipt Banister made
his purchase. It turned out that rent
was due for some years back and
ejectment was brought against the
present holders to recover. After
argument the defendant made a
motion to dismiss for want of juris-
diction. The court entertained the
motion and the case was dismissed on
the ground that under the law a JUS
tice had no jurisdiction to try cases in
which the title to land was con-
cerned and as this was an appealed
case the justice had no authority to
send it up to County court.

COY. PAGE EOR CONGRESS.

But few men have record for sue
cess wrought out by pure Vermont
brain and Drawn equal to that of
Carroll Smalley Page of Hyde Park.
His record is pre- eminently one of
successes. In the legislative and ex
eeutive departments of Vermont he
has left his mark. His record as gov
ernor came nearer the peoples idea
of model chief executive than any
other in the long list of honored names
that have filled that office.
In that memorable gubernatorial
campaign of 1890, when Mr.. Page
smashed the ring, the people clung to
him and he still has their confidence
and respect.
AS financier he is prophet with
honor in his own country. From 1884
to 1883 as state inspector of finance he
fought necessarily and with that en-
ergy so characteristic of the man, the
practice of sending the bulk of the
deposits in the Vermont savings banks
out of the state for investment. What
he accomplished is known to everyone.
AS an organizer, executor and
''pusher'' his record as secretary and
chairman of the state republican
committee from 1873 to 1890 speaks
for itself.
His home industry record leaves no
question as to his business ability.
He has accomplished much in this

At the town meeting in Northfield,
after a long and warm debate as to
the advisability of closing the town
liquor agency, a vote was taken pro-
viding that the agency be retained,
but that once each month the names
of all persons procuring liquor, to-
gether with the names of all those
who may be refused, shall be published
in a newspaper which circulates To-
cally, local newspapers to bid on the
work. The amount and kind of liquor
purchased shall also be printed with
the name. Northfeld is certainly
unique now in it's attitude on the town
liquor agency matter. This is the out
growth of movement to abolish the
the town agency. The movement was
largely agitated by believers in high
license. How this scheme will work
is causing much speculation in town;
some are opposed to it and others
think it wise provision.

AS a representative of the best in

Consul Ingersoll at Copenhagen in a re-
port to the State Department says he
deems it of Importance to American ex-
porters to Denmark to direct their atten-
ton to the trade mark laws of that coun-
try. Under the Danish law a trade mark
is granted four months from the date of
filing the application, but any person hav-
ing already registered a similar trade
mark in another country may apply here
and the mark will be registered in the
name of the person to whom such trade
mark has been granted. the registration
upon behalf of the Danish applicant being
refused
The American manufacturer whose trade
mark has not been registered in Denmark
runs the risk of having it taken away from
him by any INSCRIPTIONS person who in
tends to put an imitation of American
goods upon that market.
A large firm of English pickle makers
has lately been compelled by reason of neg
lect in this matter of trade mark registra-
ton to materially modify its old trade
mark of ST. George and the Dragon, be-
cause that saint and that dragon had been
appropriated by a Danish firm making a
liquid dentifrice. The popularity of Ameri-
can goods in Denmark, the consul says,
grows daily, and American manufacturers
will avoid much trouble and expense r.
registering without delay.

Red Sea countries, $500 tons to England,
$50 tons each to Italy and Turkey. and 450
tons to France. Egypt Is exerting itself to
the utmost to increase its production of
sugar, which has already grown from 7.72
