The Cashmere Goat.
The Cashmere goat is a native Of the
Tibet mountains and takes its name
from the celebrated valley Of Cashmere.
They are much larger than Angora
goats and frequently weigh from 200 to
300 pounds. Each animal has from four
to eight ounces of fine wool under its
coarse hair, and from this is manufac-
tured the expensive cashmere or India
shawls. The alpaca is species of la

RICHEST ROYAL FAMILY.

Russian Reigning House Said to
Have the Distinction.
The Russian reigning house has, it is
said, greater wealth than that of any
other royal family in the world. In the
Rev. H. N. Hutchinson's Living Rul-
ers of Mankind" it is said that the min
imum revenue the car derives from
the crown and state domains is esti-
mated at $7,50O,OOO a year. More than
forty members of the imperial family
not in the direct line of succession
draw revenues from landed estates set
aside for that purpose by the Emperor
Paul I. To these estates is given the
name of the imperial appanages. They
cover an area Of 100000 acres, larger
than Scotland, and the total income
derived from them is $10OO0,OOO. Be
fore the emancipation of the serfs $780,
600 peasants were attached to these
vast estates and were in a sense the
property of their owners.
Another item of the vast wealth of
ID, Is the quantity of je'fels lis mem-
bers possess.
The Russians love gems Serfs have
toiled to fashion these wondrous jew
els; emirs and shahs, the vassals OF
the car, have laid them at his feet.
The English ambassadors daughter
said, laughing, that when Alexander
III. presented the various grand duch-
esses, ladies of the imperial family,
with most costly jewels on the occasion
Of his coronation they thought nothing
of the gifts, but tossed them carelessly
in a drawer. To ladies so plentifully
supplied with pearls and diamonds a
fresh necklace or tiara was thing of
small account.

We have for two or three years set
tied on this line Of advice: Keep your
hogs as far as possible separated from
the hogs of your neighbors. During
the cholera season keep the stranger
out of your hog pastures and feed lots.
He has no business there, and the two
classes of men who have the least bust
ness are the peddler of dead hogs and
your relatives and your wife's or your
neighbors who have hog cholera in
their herds and come over to see
whether yours have it or not. Another
class Of fellows to be kept out are the
men who sell hog cholera sure cures.
Let the dog loose when these men
come around, and if you have any sort
of faith in it let them try it on some
other herd of hogs first.
If notwithstanding all these precau-
lions cholera does come and your pigs
begin to show the unmistakable signs
and die, sell all the hogs that are fit to
sell except brood sows and kill all the
little pigs, first being sure that it is not
lice that is the matter with them in
stead Of cholera, for lice will kill little
pigs. Keep your brood sows, as few of
them in a place as possible, disinfect
your yards thoroughly, see that the
hogs have pure water and take your
chances.
Whenever hogs show signs Of choa-
era, take all the corn feed away from
them, turn them out on to the pastures
and let them take their chances. They
will doctor themselves in this way bet
ter than you can doctor them. The
probability is that you will save from
one-half to Is per cent. They will be
ever afterward immune, and you can
then try for yourselves If you keep a
record of their breeding the merits of
the system Of inoculating in utero.-

Gle ment Acc uitted

In the SANDER case brought by Samuel
D. Wilson, "the Spotter," against Per-
cival w. Clement, the jury in the United
States circuit court at Rutland late
Wednesday afternoon returned a verdict
freeing the defendant from a charge of
using slanderous words, as alleged by
the plaintiff. The plaintiff asked that
the verdict be set aside. Three argu-
ments and the judges charge in the case
were made Wednesday. There was
quite display of oratory. Mr.. Clement
was in the court listening to his lawyers
address to the jury the first time since
he was on the witness stand. On the
other hand the plaintiff has been in
attendance every minute of the trial
assisting his attorneys materially. The
verdict causes no surprise.
At the opening of the court this morn
ing the grand jury reported II true bills
found and two not found

the coming season are ahead of anything

ever enjoyed in those thriving towns.
This entertainment is billed here for
Nov. A. and the tickets will be put on

haven't your course ticket, be on hand

A Veteran Reunion.

1t happened to occur to Mr.. Darwin
Rider now of Bellows Falls, but long
and favorably known as landlord of the
Addison House, Selectman of Middle
bury, etc, that last Sunday would be
the S1st anniversary of his birth, and it
demanded a reunion of his old cronies.
So invitations were issued to twelve of
them. He understood that, with him
self, the unlucky number of thirteen
would be present, but relied upon some
one failing to come. But they all came
you couldn't have kept any of the old
fellows away with club, and here are
the names and ages of the immortal
bakers dozen who filled three tables for
whist, cribbage and seven up respectively,
with one to spare:
Allen Calhoun, SO; Robert Cartmell,
56; A. ID. Fletcher, IS; Henry Hammond,
66; S. A. Ilsley, 63; A. j. Marshall, n;
Charles f. Pinney. So; IL. c. Potter, 63;
Darwin Rider, 81; f. p. Russell, SO; H. L.
Sheldon, 80; Gardner Wainwright, II;
Rufus Wainwright, 73; total S72 years,
average 67 S5 years.
Uncle" Henry Sheldon, the patriarch
of the party, Allen Calhoun being the
kid, was in great feather, and grand
luck saving his own jack every time,
and capturing several from the enemy.
If the play had been progressive he
would have taken first prize sure.
Attention was not paid exclusively to
the cards, however, for there was flood
of "reminiscences, and tears, metaphor
cal at least, We're dropped to the memory
of the companions dead and gone who
would have been of the party had their
lives been longer.
A few members of the house of
Higgins hovered on the outside edge
and in their hands Were articles some
what like dumb bells, but which proved
to be inexhaustible bottles, like the
widow Kruse's oil, from which flowed
at will sparkling fluid which Uncle
Henry pronounced "cider that had mt
been vented" Thus the jolly evening
passed until nearly midnight, when the
party broke up, respecting the Sabbath
and with the unanimous verdict that
they wished Darwin Rider had birth
day every month.
Though this wish cannot be realized
the next best thing will happen, for Mr.
Rider has determined to close up hi
business at Bellows Falls, and return Il
his fine residence on Pleasant street thil
village to spend, with his estimabl'
companion, the remainder OF his
days.

GO SLOW.
Vermont Business Men Going Slow I'm the
Matter of Expenditures.


Reports to Bradstreets for the past
week indicate that while Vermont
manufacturers are as a rule fairly well
employed. and local industries, includ-
ing creamery and marble interests are
active, it is apparent that the men
engaged in all lines of business are very
careful in shaping plans for the future.
Expressions are heard on every hand
that the present is a good time to ex-
ercise caution in regard to expenditures
and this sentiment is probably due not
so much to influence of affairs in our
own State as to the possible influence of
matter outside. Still it is not overlooked
that almost without exception the i'm
portant interests of the State are in a
healthy condition and that the conserva-
tism shown is in itself an indication of
strength. The retail trade is retarded
because of the continued warm weather
although in other respects the weather
is favorable. Some rain has fallen but
more is needed to fill the springs and
rivers. Labor is well employed at good
wages, there being no particular trouble
reported in the State. Local collections
are fair but collections outside the State
are slow; wholesale trade is well main
