Marshfield's Big Fire.

A fire which started in the barn OF tn
Commercial House Thursday night an,
swept along in devouring fury for severa
| hours, ate up dozen buildings il
Marshfield village before being brough
under control. The loss was at leas
| $4,000.
The buildings destroyed were:-
| Commercial House, two barns and sheds
property of II. II. Meader.
H. II. Meader's tenement.
Business block, containing the genera
store OF c. S. Adams q Co., and the furni'
ture store OF l.. b. Adams.

II. G. Carpenters block, with the store

Besides these losses there was some on the

Montpelier making the trip OF is miles in
"a minutes over an upgrade winding

The Vermont will be one OF the most
pow erful fighting ships afioat.
| Two Fletcher boys, James Ryan, aged
IA, and Basil Ryan, aged 10, had quite an
escapade last week. Basil took s110 from
his fathers drawer and with James as a
companion started out in Wild West
fashion. They bought two rifles, two re-
volvers, some fishIng tackle and tickets
| for st. Johnsbury. At Essex Junction
| they put up at hotel and while inspect
| ing the rifles one OF them was accidentally
discharged, the bullet lodging in the leg
OF Basil. The boys went to bed, bullet
and all, where they were found during the
night by an officer who had traced them.
The wounded boy was taken to Burling-
ton and the bullet extracted, then both
were lodged IN jail. II developed that the
money taken was the proceeds of the sale
OF team that had been given TO Basil.
The committee on the revision of the
Vermont statutes has discovered that no
provision is made in the license law for
limiting the alternative sentence in cases
OF conviction for illegal selling of intoxi-
eating liquors. A case in point comes
from Bennington county. Jury brought
in verdict OF guilty of twenty-five Of
fences against William Caulstone, a for
mer proprietor OF the Colburn house at
Manchester. The law fixes the penalty by
fine at 300 for each offence. Judge John
w. Rowell therefore fined the respondent
$500 and ordered him committed until
the fine is paid. II he does not pay the
fine 1t means he must serve % 500 days or
sixty-one years in the house of correction
at Rutland. Caulstone was out on 81 900
bail and the report is that he cannot be
found.
The members OF the Vermont assocla-
ton, the Daughters OF Vermont and the
Vermont Veterans association OF Boston
are to join in pilgrimage, with Rutland
as an objective point. The tourists will
use the Fall River line to New York city
and make the trip up the Hudson by
steamer, going from Albany direct to Rut-
land by railroad, where they will arrive
the evening Of August 2. The following
morning the party will board special troll |
ley cars and ride to West Rutland, where |
il will proceed by special train over the |
Vermont Marble Co.'s road to Proctor. |
The marble works at both points will be |
inspected. Thursday evening the party |
will be rendered reception at Rutland by |
Mayor j. f. Manning and the citizens OF |
Rutland. Friday morning there will be |
carriage and trolley rides to various points |
OF interest in and about Rutland.

Hutchinson and Wina To Go.

The report OF the committee which in
vestigated the state asylum has been made
to Gov. Bell.
After reviewing the facts as shown by
the evidence, the committee recommends
the removal OF Superintendent Marcello
Hutchinson and Trustee George w. Wing
OF Montpelier.
The facts found do not show any start
ling malfeasance in Office or any serious
graft, but that the management has been
lax and not according TO business and
professional principles and is open to
criticism and censure for things done and
not done.
The lack OF business methods in the
purchase of coal is criticised and ii is
recommended that a sidetrack be built to
allow coal cars to be unloaded at the asy-
lum, which alone would save $1,000 per
year.
The present system OF purchasing sup
plies for the institution through a pur-
chasing agent, who receives $500 per
year for his services, gets black eye and
the committee recommends that one OF
the members Of the board Of trustees do
the purchasing.
Attention is called to the poor judgment
OF the trustees in buying a farm that can
not be reached except by bridging the
river or making a six-mlle detour. The
administration Of the superintendent and
his discipline in the institution are criti-
cised and declared to be sufficient to war
rant his removal.
The removal Of Mr.. Wing is advised on
the ground that through his long service
he should have been familiar with existing
abuses and made an effort to have them
corrected.
Trustee Wing has rendered his resigna-
ton, being called upon by Gov. Bell to do

Orange County Court,
June Term. 1905.

The June term Of Orange county court
was finally adjourned Wednesday noon,
June q, having been in session since Tues
/ day. June 6.
Several additional divorces were granted
as follows.-William II. Richardson vs..
/ catherine j. Richardson, for wilful deser-
ton, the custody OF their two year-old
infant being given to the petitionee;
Martha +. Burnor VS.. Middle Burnor, for
wilful desertion, petitioner given leave to
resume maiden name OF Blake. Charles r.
Weeks VS.. Ida Weeks, for wilful desertion;
| Belle Northen vs.. Willard Worthen, for
wilful desertion, petitioner given leave to
resume maiden name; Andrew 2. Ordway
VS.. Ella j. ordway, for adultery.
The case OF Susan j. Bean vs.. John Bean
was petition for divorce on the alleged
ground OF intolerable severity. The par
ties live in Randolph and were married in
March, 1904, after but four weeks ac-
quaintance and only three weeks court
ship. BY May 9th the gallant swain OF
more than seventy winters began his
fortnightly spells OF awaking at midnight,
swearing and damning," and accusing
his fair dameel OF at least sixty-five sum
mers that she had poisoned him and
thrashing around and making it generally
uncomfortable for her. This cheerful
midnight interlude continued at intervals
for six weeks until June "a, when during
dispute concerning the old mans disci-
pline OF his colt, she gotin the way OF his
strokes and then claimed that he had
struck her and rushed off TO complain,
being advised TO go to the postmaster by
some helpful friends. She finally found a
prosecuting officer and began proceedings
for alleged assault and battery. After
wards, divorce suit began, with allow
anee OF alimony. The old man denied all
the grievous wrongs except the attempted
poisoning charge, and thought they might
live together in harmony yet. Apparently
the court conceived that her complaint
was mostly oney-hunting expedition,
and denied her petition. NJ NJ. Wilson

TO MEASURE FERTILITY.
French Scientists Move to Place Az
riculture Among the Exact
Sciences.

To place agriculture among the exact
sciences is the hope of certain French
enthusiasts, and as a first step IL is pro-
posed to establish a system OF exact
measurements OF the fertility of the soil
says recent report. A pioneer in this
art of "euphorimetry," as II is called. has
been M. Varembey. He has made many
experiments, and has recommended a
euphorimetric scale ranging from one
to ten degrees, each degree to represent
the fertility produced by 1000 Kilograms
of farm-yard manure on one hectare of
land. He has shown that every degree
of fertility in the soil yields 35 liters
of wheat per hectare, or 80 liters of rye,
or AZ liters of barley, or IS liters of oats
The effects of other manures can be
determined according to this standard.
the present fertility of any soil can be
estimated from the last crop and the ex-
haustion experience has shown to be
caused by such crop, and the probable
yield Of any one of the cereals can be
calculated from the present fertility.
While Irregularities of temperature and
moisture must affect crops. II is believed
that theoretical results for normal con-
ditions can be worked out with much
accuracy.
