All doctors agree that a certain variety of influenza is epidemic i'll this vicinity at present, and that a vast number of persons are suffering from it, some of the cases being of a very serious aspect. Oddly enough, how ever, very many seem to believe that the malady is not the Russian grip, now prevalent in Europe, but an alto gether different variety of influenza. Many of the characteristic symptoms of the Russian disease are absent, while the American maiady has marked features of it's own, one of the most distressing of which, we are in formed, is an intense headache. The danger of the attacks, we further learn, is not immediate, but lies in their tendency to develop pneumonia or other very dangerous malady. It is strange enough that both h~emispheres should be afflicted with kindred yet distinct plaques at one and the same time, and it is, above all, very poor comfort to know hat about b time our W special nui- sance has worm itself out, the Euro pean infection may have made its way across the Atlantic, and may set us coughing and sneezing and wish ing we livedin Australia. We are paying for our new climate. We have given up our old time Arctic winters, it appears, for a mild sub tropical moist unpleasant season. We will presently effect a handsome economy in o%vercoats and overshoes, and so we will perhaps be able to pay the doctors bills we are now contract ing.

lHE w EbTERLOo MURDER CA6E.- The trial OF Reuben Dunbar indicted Tor the murder Of Stephen and David Lester at Westerloo, on the 2Sth of Sep tember last, which has been going on for two weeks past at Albany, was con- cluded yesterday by the jury render. ing a verdict OF guilty. The evidence, which was altogether circumstantal so far as the guilt of the prisoner was con- cerned, differed but slightly from that taken at the coroner's inquest, which has been published in this paper. The cir cumStance of the case were briefly as follows The children murdered were two brothers, aged 8 and years res pectvely, residing with their uncle, Da- vld Lester, the step-father of the &C cused. On the day above specified when there was no one on the farm but the two boys, the prisoner and his moth er, the boys were both missing. This was OF Saturday. Scrrch was made for them on Sunday and the days following until Wednesday, when the body Of Stephen was found under a ledge Of rocks, with heavy stone lying crosSwise on his breast. The scull was fractured, tho breast was crushed, the legs were bent and six Of the ribs bro ken. On the succeeding day the body of David was found hanging OH tree in the vicinity of the ledge. Stephens wounds had evidently been inflicted with swinglc belonging TO Mr.. Lester. which was found sccreted near the child. and David was suspended from the tree by a rome which was also indcnti- fled by Mr.. Lester as his property. The prisoner was the last seen with these boys, and while the search was going on for their bodies, he cndeavorcd to divert the attention of those engaged in it from the precise spot of conceal me mt by the most contradictory stories His versions as TO where he had parted from the deceased also varied materially both as 10 circumstances and time There were many incidental points es- tabIished by the evidence, none singly Of sufficient strength to convict, but toge,h- er forming a combination Of facts suffi- cient to convince the jury of th

The message as whole, is of an elevated tone and affords the expected evidence of the discriminating and dellberave intellect Of its author Though temperately, and as appears to us, e ven cautiously expressed, its views on the great issue now be ore the country, are Just g. sound. The positions that no State Can constitutionally Establish slavery where it is not now recogniz- ed" and that Congress caLrot impose any OBJ legation on their successors, to admit any State thereafter without such restrictions as they may think proper" are important ones, and we are glad to see them thus receiving the Executive sanction of Vermont. We had looked, however, for a more decided expression ofcondemnation ofthe Fugitive Slave Bill, and the other measures of pro slavery en- croachment, passed at the late session of Com gress and we regret Gov. Williams did not speak out more boldly on the subject. Surely these extraordinary measures involve enough vi olation of the common principles of freedom, and furnish precedents sufficiently alarming, to call FORTH at least, the most pointed rebuke from ev- cry executive in the free States, to whatever party they may belong.

Holland. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 3Oo,4S2 The returns, up to the 9th ofApril, show that France is furnishing a much larger pro portion this year than the last; and il is re- marked, her expectation in 1917, considerable as it appears, is not of sufficient importance to affect the home market, for it is but the seven ty-second part Of an ordinary crop. Such are our chances in what the eulogists of foreign trade are fond of telling us is the great grain market Of the world. For the sake of the slender participation in il which is at tainable, they would have the American far mer sacrifice his home market, and beat down his own prices, by forcing those who would be glad 10 increase the demand into competition with them. The doctors Of this school, those who preach by book, claim generally to be in tense admirers Of ADAM SMITH, and faithful echoes Of his instructions. Here is text from ADAM SMITH, upon which we cannot re- member that any of them ever based an exhor- iation: "a piece of fine cloth, weighing eight pounds, contains in it the price not only Of eight pounds Of WOOL but sometimes Of several thousand weight OF corn, the maintenance Of the different working people and their employers" These pretended disciples Of SMITH tell us that we must encourage the importation Of woolen cloths, in order that the different work ing people and their employers may have the means of purchasing our corn. But when we have got the cloth we have only got back, ac- cording TO this unexceplionabe authority, a great deal of corn with very little wool--a combination in the proportion Of thousands OF the former 10 units of the latter. If all the corn, incorporated into cloth, was OF American production, il would be Of compare lively small consequence, so far as the extent OF the market Of our farmers was concerned. whether the union was effected at home or abroad In the latter case they would indeed buy their corn back again, with the expense of transportation TO and fro over the ocean, added

Texas will show up well at the Dallas fair in the way of blooded cattle if what is going on in Fort Worth is fair sam pie of what the other parts of the state will do. Polk Brothers, the well-known breeders of Jersey and Holstein cattle, are now getting in trim at their yards in the southern part of the city a herd of thoroughbred native raised Jerseys and 8 herd of Holstein bulls, also natives, that cannot be beat in Texas, aud they are as slightly collection of cattle as can be found anywhere. OF the Jerseys there are twenty-three head, the COWS all being in full milk, and the calves perfect pictures of their kind. The Rol- stein bulls, twelve in number, are model animals, perfect in form and color, and without a blemish of any kind. AS stated, these cattle are all Texas raised i, with long pedigrees and all registered. Such cattle as these are credit TO Texas, and If there is a show herd at the fair that can get ahead of them they will have to be beauties indeed The Folks take great pride in this kind of stock, and viii take pleasure in showing them to anyone who takes an interest in the higher grades of farm and dairy animals. They extend an invitation TO the public to call and see the herds before they leave for the Dallas fair.

The Democrat says: "Some of the letters we have received are signed by persons whom we personally know are reliable, and their descriptions OF the scenes of woe and suffering are shocking to the senses" Isl possible that such calls coming from sources we have every reason to trust, can be turned away by those who have hearts to feel for the sufferings of a stricken people?
