some fence, he slipped on some stones
and reaching to save himself caught hold
of post with the thumb of his left hand
top of it that Andrew Paulsa was driv-

thumb was SO badly injured that Mr..
Field took the first going train to Burl-

An amputation was necessary at the

The State Normal School building at
Randolph Center, called by Gov. Orms-
bee model building for a high and
grammar scnool, well lighted and COM
plete with all modern Improvements,
cost $4,000 and was built in four months.
The Randolph school buildings are on
different streets and the management is
found to work better than when all were
together in one building.
The village fathers have built fine
composition walk in front of the new
Upper block. They are experimenting
and investigating the merits of these
walks that are being used more and more
in other towns instead of concrete. They
are made largely of high grade cement
and are said to wear better, look better
and are cheaper than the old style con-
crete walks.
At the regular session of the Woman's
Home Missionary Union of the Home

Bio Fire at NorthfieId.

A fire which broke out about midnight
destroyed the Union block at Mortified
May II, doing damage to the amount of
about $4,000. At one time the flames
threatened to sweep through the whole
business part of the town, and Montpe-
lier and Barre were called upon for
assistance.
The Union block which was situated
on the square near the depot, was owned
by Miss Minnie Smith, Fred Parker and
10. ID. Edgerton. 1t contained Miss
Smiths millinery store, the public library
the Central house. Good Templars' hall,
r. H. Heath's wall paper store, A.
Broggi's fruit store, d. Falcarino's fruit
store and f. w. Chases meat market
The photograph gallery, owned by
John Larllin and George Sanburne, a
small building adjoining, was totally des-
troved.

mobiles. This is something that is of
especial Importance in rural State like
Vermont. We have been informed that
in single county in this State there
have been Is serious accidents, through
the use of these vehicles. We were told
that in several of them those using the
Automobile were injured, but in more
those were injured who were riding after
horses. And we have recently been told
by liverymen in several Vermont towns,
introduced, that they did not dare to let
their horsessto women, and that indeed
the Automobile threatened to break up
their business.
Then comesIthe .much-tallled-of ques-
ton of good roads and the remodeling to
greater or less extent our laws regard
ing road making. All of these subjects
are of vital Importance to the welfare
and prosperity of our State. And there
may be others of still more Importance
which will be presented.
When the nature of these questions
and their Importance are considered, all
will see the necessity of having a few
able men in the Legislature, and espe-
cially in the Senate to frame these bills
and help secure their passage. 1t is, too,
especially desirable, as all will see,
that for this purpose we should have
some of the best legal talent of the State,
in both the House and Senate. With
this perception quite a number of the
citizens of this county representing quite
number of towns, after informal con-
sultation, interviewed Ex-Gov. Stewart
to know if he would be willing to serve
the county as Senator the coming fall,
and use his legal abilitiesi and excellent
tact IN assisting to guide and direct legis-
latiOn at this critical time. The Governor
at first thought that he would not want
to appear again as candidate for this
office. but being told that the demand
was quite widespread, embracing num-
Der of towns in both districts, said that
he would go if the people wished it. We
peIleNe Ihat the people OF the county do
wish it; and that, as the matter becomes
understood, this feeling will be practi-
cally unanimous. AS all know, Mr..
Stewart is broad-gauged and under no
circumstances would assist in passing
any law unless it reflected the wishes of
the people of the county and State. The
Register earnestly hopes that the people
of the southern district of Addison
county, and indeed those of the whole
county. for it is impossible to divide our
interests, in no doubtful manner will let
the Governor know that they wish him
to represent them this fall in the State
Senate. Younger aspirants for this
office can well afford to wait, and we be-
lieve will be willing to wait till another
time.

VERMONT INSANE ASYLUM.
Total. .......... 81 POI, 271.91

In addition to these expenses the Sup
ervisors of the lnsaue and the Trustees
of the Vermont Hospital for the Insane
have received 1913, 1876 during the same
period. These expenses are large and
we believe there is a general feeling that
there will have to be some law passed to
reduce the number sent to this institu-
ton. AS the matter now stands there is
a constant tendency to send those not
properly classed as insane, and others
who would be as well or better cared for
at home than in the asylum.
We think that a proper check in the
matter would be to require towns to pay
portion of the expenses of supporting
their insane. Some wisely devised law
would undoubtedly regulate this matter
sufficiently, without in any way inter-
fering with the essential usefulness of
the institution.
Another week. the Register hopes to
give the average expenses of the insane
in several other New England States.
Another important subject to be con-
sidered is some law that would require a
thorough investigation after every fire.
We understand that there are such laws
in some of the States.
We believe that such a law would tend
quite materially to prevent carelessness
in regard to fires, and also be especially
valuable in exposing, and therefore in
checking incendiarism.
Then there should be more stringent
law passed regulating the use of Auto

The School Meetinq.

The adjourned school meeting of Dis
trict No. 4, which occurred at the town
hall Monday evening, drew a good at
tendance and those present manifested a
decided interest in the discussion of the
matter under cOnsideratiOn-the erection
of new school building. Opinion
seemed divided as to the advisablitv of
building a new building and bonding
the village for $4,000, or rebuilding the
burned structure either as two or three
story building.
a suggestion was made that perhaps
two buildings would better meet the
needs of the school population, and the
suggestion was, in effect, that building
be erected on each side of the river. the
belief being that the smaller pupils COM
prising the first three or four grades be
housed in one building and that the
Grammar and High school scholars be
quartered in another.
The discussions were animated at
times during the meeting, which was of
an hour and half's duration, but har-
mony prevailed land those most inter-
ested in the matter, although taking
different stands, acquiesced in the
motion made by Governor Stewart that
another adjournment be taken until
Monday evening, May 90.
Charles Earle, an advisory member of
the prudential committee cautioned the
citizens that they should be sure they
were right before deciding to rebuild the
old building and asked them to consider
the future rather than the present.
Prof. Murkland asked that there be no
undue haste in the matter and stated
that in the end delay of few weeks
or months would have no serious
results.
Rev. Thomas Simms, member of the
committee, took exceptions to Prof.
Murklands statement that the COM
mittee take a year if necessary to decide
the matter. He believed that it would
impose hardship upon the pupils and
cause extra expense in the matter of
janitoring.

State Issues.

1t is very evident that number of
questions of special Importance will come
up to be considered by the next Legisla-
ture. Always there are certain promi-
nent questions that seem to claim the
right of way. This year among the most
important we think, first, will be some
law to regulate and in some way to lessen
the expenses of the insane asylum. All
recognize aud take pride in the superior
character of the buildings, the beauty of
the grounds, and the care with which
they are kept. But it has also become
very evident that the annual expenses
have become larger than they should be
for a State of the size and wealth of Yer
mont, The following is summary of
the expelises.of supporting the insane in
the State since 1889, when the construc-
ton of the asylum was begun, taken from
the official reports, and including the cost
of the buildings at Waterbury:
