BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston journal.


The general tone of the market on fine
fresh made butter is not so strong last
week. There is an easier tendency in the
West and New ork, and the disposition il to
shade n little in favor of buyers, though
prices here did not go up on IA parity with
other places. When the light receipts are
taken into consideration our market is com
paratively low, but the trade have not shown
any disposition to follow the extreme quota
tons M other points and get along with
storage and renoN atcd goods. ON the basis
of these reports we must quote Vermont and
New Hampshire fresh eNtIa creamery as -
to y = cents, and extra western at 215s to >
cents, all for trade lots. Firsts quiet mt - to
2G cents. This is ut least one half cent lower
than n week ago and one cent below the
highest asking price. Buyers are looking for
still lower rates when supplies increase, rs
butter is now costing to cents more than II
year ago, ana they naturally will operate
cautiously, of course, in "A jonbing way, or
3 cents more have to be added. There has
been n steady demand for cheese during the
week, ana there was no indication of any let
mp Yesterday, though buyers were not taking
large lots Sales of fine fall twins were nj
l2ll to l3 cents, and holders of the finest lots
were not anxious to sell much under IL cents,
because there is prospect of getting more
money later ON. Fair To good Is quoted at II
To II cents, but little offered can be bought
under llls cents. stocks here and at other
points are greatly reduced
Receipts of eggs n I'VE increased, but the
consumptive demand is large, and trade is
likely To continue active until after Easter.
There Is n great scarcity OF duck eggs, ana 40
cents per dozen could easily be obtained
yesterday for small lots. Good eggs were
also scarce and wanted, and II few lots We're
sold AT 90 to 81 per dozen.
Receipts of maple sugar have increased,

THE GovERNoRsHlP.

Thus far in the contest between DR..
Webb and General Mccullough, the
REGISTER has not cared to take sides,
knowing that either of these gentlemen
would make most respectable governor,
and hoping, as it would be impossible to
choose them both at the same time, that
one would withdraw and wait till another
opportunity, when, as we supposed and
as we still think, the voters of the state
would with a substantial unanimity elect
the other.
We were, too, in hopes that DR.. Webb
would conclude to withdraw, for
two reasons: first, that General McCul-
Tough was the older; and second, that
General Mccullough was the candidate
four years ago, but finding that contest
of undesirable intensity of feeling i'm
pended, with good sense and good feel
ing withdrew his name; it being under
stood generally among his friends, that
he would permit 1t to be used this year,
and therefore many who would have
been very glad to support DR.. Webb
were unable to do so at this time.
And right here the REGISTER wishes to
say that the suggestion made by a state
paper that Nermonters were hostile or
Jealous of these two gentlemen because
they had business interests IN New y ork,
is not true. The people of Vermont are
far minded and level-headed. They
recognize that both of these gentlemen
are men of excellent character and super
Tor abilities; that they have been init
mately connected with the state now for
many years; have each of them been
members of our Legislature; and that
either of them would make a most credit
able Governor.
The REGISTER, then, believes that DIR.
Webb, having concluded to withdraw
his name at this time, the people of the
state with substantial unanimity will
unite to the support of General McCul-
Tough.
1t is not good time for the name of
any other candidate to be injected into
the canvass. Nor do the people of Yer.
mont see the propriety of several gentle.
men meeting at conclave in New York
city to decide who shall be our next
Governor. We can take care of that our
selves, nor will we make any mistake il

He Is Our Own.

1t has been said, and With truth, that
the trotting horse is, par excellence, the
peculiar institution of America. We had
another peculiar institution two score of
years ago, of which we were not so
proud, but the civil war oblterated it,
There are no doubt many other matters
in which our land leads the world, such
as green corn, pumpkins, and pretty
women, but in no important particular,
1t must be admitted, is she so indisputa-
bly, pre-emnent as in the light-harness
horse, both for racing and driving pur-
poses. There were trotters, it is true,
long before this country was known to
white men. Indeed one writer has
pointed out thai all quadrupeds at a
walk move their limbs precisely as a
trotter does when at full speed, and that
hence the trot may be considered the
natural gait of the horse. But 1t re-
manned for us, and all within a century,
to develop the capabilities of this gait, to
enable the horse, by breeding and train
ing, to manifest his extreme speed, until
he has become the wonder of the world
so much so that he is already one of ouI
most valuable exports, foreigners being
among the largest buyers at all the grea
sales of light harness stock. The trottel
is our own child, and we are justly PROUD
of him.
Precisely as the trotter in general be
longs to America, so is the Morgan
Horse indigenous to, and the peculiar
Institution of the state of Vermont. Hi
ancestors came from many quarters, anC
his progeny have been scattered all owe
the land, and even to remote parts of tn
earth, but right here he wore his swad

developed into the type he is. 1t is tn
object of this brief article to point GU

The character of a government is the
character of the men who go to make It,.
Cecil Rhodes, who died on Wednesday
evening at Cape Town, Africa, typified
in marked degree the general concep-
ton of the English government in mat
tiers pertaining to foreign relations.
Ruthless, constituencies, without justice
where personal gain was at stake, he
placed no limit on his ambition and
fought for it as few men have fought.
His weapons were governments, and
their SCATTERING meant for him only one
step nearer his objective. TO him more
than any other man is due the present
strife in South Africa; in fact it can be
traced directly to him through the Jane
son raid. His indomitable will brought
him certain kind of admiration, withal
but that he has not lived to see his am.
billions realized will appeal to the worlds
sense of Justice.

however, the journal has done service.

taking the independent stand they did.

families, as shown by the performances
of the present, and as agreed by all
writers on such subjects, are the Ham,
bletonlan, the Mambrino, the Clay, the
Star, the Blue Bull, the Royal George,
the EIiatoga and the Morgan, the re-
spective founders of which breeds were
all foaled before the middle of the last
century. Time was when we heard it
said of horse, he is Hambletonian, he
is a Mambrino, he is Clay, he is Star,
he is Blue Bull, he is Royal George
or he Is Hlatoga, put that time has
passed. Crossing and recrossing of blood
have brought it about that none of these
horses is called, distinctively, after the
founder of his tribe; but Morgan horses
are still called Morgan all the world
over, although Justin Morgan was foaled
more than half a century earlier than
either of the heads of the other families.
There must be reason why this one
name has been so especially preserved

found in the comparative preservation
of the type. The descendants of Justin
Morgan were great progenitors, as a
rule, and were scattered all over the
state. 1t was soon found that their get
were peculiarly adapted to this climate
and this billy country. Always willing,
sturdy, as cheerful up hill as down, with
plenty of speed for the road, and hand
some withal, they filled the bill. For
many years, while residents Of other
states were chasing up various strains of
blood to get driving horses to suit them
Vermonters remained content with what
they had. 1t was case of seek nc
further. Hence Morgan horses have
been outcrossed far less than other
strains, hence they have maintained
their individuality, and hence their dis
tinctlve name still attaches to them, anG
ever will. The trotting horse is the
peculiar institution of America, and we
are proud of it; but the Morgan Horse
is the peculiar institution of Vermont
and we are prouder of that, because the
fact is so much closer to us. He i;

MIDDLEBURY. ' T

Dear Sirs: The annoyance caused by
short measure in paints that are sold by
the gallon" is worse than the loss by
the shortage. Misled by the maker
representations as to how far a gallon
will go, you buy too little of every sort.
and must send for more in the midst of
the work.
Besides, a short-measure man is, doubt
less. also a cheater in other ways: his
paint is likely to cover perhaps two
thirds as much as he says. This also
you find out while the work is going on,
and the painting must wait while you
send for more.
Even this is not all. nor the worst. II
it wears half as long as he says, you are
luckily. You have the whole job to dc
again in year of two and perhaps your
paint is not really good for that short
time.
One law of lying is that liars lie most
where it's hardest to catch EN-. Another
is that liar lies wherever he can.
Look out for short measure. 1t in.
cludes all the rest. Devoe lead and zinc
