Word from Edwin H. Black of San
Francisco, formerly of Scion, Me;
Dear Editor:--
knowing the many friends of my brother
would be pleased to know of his safety, |
take this way of letting them know that they
escaped without harm, with the exception of
fractured arm for Mrs. Black.
He lost his house. shop, stock and every
thing excepting his books, business, two teams
and some household goods, says they could
have saved much more but the people, rich
and poor, were driven by the soldiers like
sheep from their homes when the fire was
two blocks away. They, Mr. Black and
wife, drove to their fruit ranch fifty miles
south Of San Francisco, near San Jose, the
aoth of April. They found everything all
right there, only having lost the tops o: the
three chimneys.
This much he wrote the 2Ist, and under
date of the goth he writes they have three OF
the sufferers with them, and that he has been
back to San Francisco and built one story,
rough house on 10th ST., where he will start
again where he started in II; says it is the
first building, and almost the only one, as far
as the eye can reach. There is no money in
circulation--the vaults and bank safes too
hot to be opened, everything done on credit
People who saved their homes are still cook.

Punsent Truths from Governor
Bell.

Governor Bells speech at the recent
meeting of the Middlebury college
Alumni bristled with good points. Note
the following:
"If the farmers would give as much
attention to the details of their business
as other men do to thar affairs, the
returns from the farms would be rela-
lively as satisfactory as from any mer-
camille enterprise" Vermont makes
more butter and cheese than all the rest
of New England put together" 'Ver-
mont is not only good State to be born
in, but good State to live in. MANY
people think of Vermont as summer
resort while those who live here the
year round, or who visit the State IN the
winter, know that it is as beautiful in
January and February, as in July and
August" The real test of education is
the ability to do things

Fits EXONERATED
Com mmi ission Finds no Grounds for
Disbarment and so Reports.

The Supreme Court Tuesday morning
received the report of the commission
consisting of Col Alfred A. Hall, of st.
Adams, E. Henry Powell, of Burlington,
and John w. Redmond, of Newport, ap-
pointed by the court to consider the dis
barment prceedings against Atty.-Gen.
Clarke G. Fits, of Brattleboro. The
report eXonerates the attOrney-general
and speaks highly of his ability as a
lawyer and his faithfulness to his clients
In only one aspect of the case did the
commission deem it necessary to adjudge
the action of Mr.. Fits to have been "a
grave mistake" No grounds are found
for disbarment and the report is a
victory for Mr.. Fits.
