Letter to G. W. Clark.
Morris vile, vt.

Dear Sir A good many people will
see your house in the course of the
next ten years. We want it to show
what Devoe lead and zinc will do. We
should like you to paint it, and then
not paint it again for ten years-un-
less it needs repainting.
We'd like such a sample as that in
every town in the country-with a
notice about it in the paper "Mr.
Clark's house was painted ten years
ago with Devoe lead aud zinc, and
has never been reprinted. The color
is not so bright as it was but the
paint is as perfect a coat as ever, to
keep out water"
A good lead and oil job is expected
to last three years; it is good one
that lasts three years it generally
does not. Devoe lead and zinc lasts
twice as long, if not =
eff you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it
on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about it.
We authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
We want your house as a sample,
and you as a witness.
Yours truly,
65 F. W. DEvoE & Co.
P. s. Geo. W. Doty, Morrisville,
and l.. M. Jones, Johnson, sell our
paint.

Bailey for State Auditor.
[ Wilmington Times

The question of secretary of state,
state treasurer and state auditor
was one which had seemed to be
practically settled, Judging from the
well-nigh universal comments of the
press in favor of Bacon, Fleetwood
and Bailey; but the St. Adams Mes
senger this week springs upon the
public new name for state auditor
S. w. Finn.
Well, this is a free country. We
don't know why anybody hasn't a
right to be candidate for any office
to which he is legally eligible, and
we don't know why Finn is not
eligible to the authorship.
But how does it happen that, at
eleventh hour and after the public
mind had become practically settled
as to its preference for the auditor
ship, this stranger, whom nobody
outside of his native heath seems to
know, should bob up serenely" and
through his home paper announce
his candidacy?
The state wants a f1ll-sized man
for this office, and if public sentiment
is fairly voiced through the press Of
the state, Horace w. Bailey is re-
garded as of the right size and quail.

Thrashed Il5 Boys In One DAY.

A Connecticut schoolmaster thrash
ed 40 scholars in one day, and the
Nutmeg state papers are Dragging
that he broke the record. He may
have broken the modern record, but
not that of the "better days of the
republic Just before the war be-

derson more than doubly overtopped
the Connecticut mans performance.
1t was when he was classical assistant
to William Dabney Stuart, whose
schoolhouse was on the north side of
Clay street, between Fifth and Sixth.
Stuart was sick, and cold Dick" as
the assistant was ffectionately called
for he was as fine a man as eyer

outburst of hilarity and devilment,

some dozen Or more Latin and Greek
authors that if they repeated it he
would wallop the whole party. We
did repeat it, and Anderson, who had
expected the repetition and armed
himself with a bundle of switches cut
from the trees in the yard of the Ger
man Lutheran church in Sixth street
proceeded to keep the vow in fast and
furious style.

to II and IS years, and not one es.

The present political campaign has
surely made somestrange bed-fellows,
but when q newspaper attempts to
support a prohibitory law candidate
and uphold the principles of high Ii
Gene in one and the same breath the
strangeness changes to the ridiculous.
Such is the delightful spectacle that
the st. Adams Messenger and the
Burlington News present to their
readers. The liquor question, the
dart they fondly hoped would prove
the undoing of McCullough's strength,
has been turned against themselves
and against their candidate, Proctor.
The Proctor supporters voluntarily
thrust the question of prohibition
and hig license into the contest with
the DISASTROUS results that it proved
boomerang not entirely to their lik-.
ing. The whole state is now await
ing a definite answer from Proctor on
the question would you veto high
license or local option measure?" He
has evaded the question when a di-
rect reply was demanded, by saying
that he is and always has been for
prohibition. A personal opinion was
not asked Proctor on the respec-
tive merits of prohibition and high
license, but rather if he would veto a
measure which expressed a majority
sentiment of the citizens of the state.
To be sure Proctor left a loop hole
for future contingency by not stat
ing what his personal opinion might
be at some time later. But even, al
lowing that, he has not answered the
question. Meanwhile the Burlington
News and st. Adams Messenger are
painfully endeavoring to reconcile
their license sentiment with the stand
taken by their candidate. - Barre

Againsl the Township Of Otisco.

Againsl the Township of Otisco.
Judge Davis of the Ionia Circuit
Court laid down an important point
of law in the case of Wm. JS owen
against the township of Otisco.
The suit was for damages claimed
to have been sustained through the
negligence of defendant The facts
as disclosed in the declaration were
that a pISlic highway in that town
ship passes over sfndri-. stream,
which is crossed by fording and ;ftsu
by the use of bridge. Some few
days after the heavy freshet of last
July plaintiff in travelling over this
road came to the bridge. which he
found closed to travel, but finding the
ford road open he attempted to cross
the stream by this route and his horse
was drowned. The heavy rains had
washed out the bottom of the creek,
leaving dangerous condition of
things, which was known to the town
ship authorities prior to the accident,
and of which plaintiff claimed they
should have given public warning by
blocking up the road leading thereto
The circuit judge held that admit
ting the negligence of the township,
the plaintitr was equally negligent in
driving into this stream without in
vestigating its condition, and under
he well settled rule of law that one
who contributes to his injury cannot
recover, the case was decided i'm favor
1l the township.
