The Burlington "Free Press" says: Chit
tenden, w., is boasting over sort Of natu-
ra! ice house which has hitherto been COM
paratively little known. The place is mar
row gorge with rocky sides extending down
about twenty feet and archcd overhead with
trees. Here an abundant quantity of clear,
solid ice can be found during the hottest
season of the year. At the upper end of the
gorge is clear spring of water from which
the ice is formed in Winter, filling the fis-
suses and crevice between the rocks at the
bottom of the ravine. This is the ice house
for the people in the vicinity, and here they
obtain their supply. Last year ice was ia
ken out in September, and there is reason
to believes that it lases during the whole
year. The atmosphere in the vicinity of the
gorge is cooled by its frozen treasures, and
when the wind is in the right direction a
change in temperature is apparent half a
mile distant. AT q watering trough by the
road side eighty rods away, fed directly
from the ice bed, men and beasts alike are
refreshed with real ice water"

When about eight miles out, one corner
Of bridge gave way, and five cars of the
third section ran of the track and turned
over into the soft mud. The first car con
tained horses, the second an elk and a
camel, the other three the five elephants.
The small animals were easily liberated, but
the elephants We're all in heap. To re-
move them the top of the car was cut away,
and then was exhibited the intelligence that
marks these half human brutes. They
obeyed every command of the keeper like
children, crawling on their knees, turning
on their sides, squirming like eels, taking
more wonderful and novel positions than
any described on the show bills. After their
release there was not q scratch on them,
and no school boy ever gave more emphatic
expression of relief than did those five cle-
plants. They trumpeted, swayed back and
forth, and did all but talk. The remaining
distance to the city was made overland, and
a happier crew never started on a march
Than were those animals. The cool, breezy
atmosphere and the bright moonlight were
all inspiring. AS all bridges were gone, at
every stream the elephants took fresh en-
joyment Of their liberty They arrived here

The campaign opens on the question
of retrenchment and reform; and we
commend the attitude OF the Demo-
cratic House and OF the Republican
President and Senate on this particular
matter to the country. We find the
House-the first Democratic House we
have had since 1861--making brave
struggle to reduce the cost OF govern
ment and save the people thirty mine
millions OF dollars; and we find the
Senate and President making fierce
fight to defeat this movement OF the
House and keep up the old system OF
profiigacy and extravaganza.


The House should stand firm. 1t has
made a splendid record for the Demo-
cratic party, and performed good deed
for the suffering country. The President

The President and the Senate are
making determined opposition to the
appropriation bill, passed by the Demo-
cratic House. which reduces the appro-
priations something more than thirty


nine millions compared with those Of
the current fiscal year.


Every stratagem has been resorted to
by the President and Senate to force the
House to recede from its position. The
President has sent message on the
subject, and Mr.. Kasson, OF Iowa, an
Administration member of the House,
speaking, doubtlessly with authority,
has declared that II tho diplomatic
bill Is not passed by the first Of
July the Secretary OF State will tele-
graph to every foreign minister and
consul that their drafts against the
Government will be protested after
that date. The House proposes to re-
duce the appropriations for. the Consu-
lar and Diplomatic service only $428.-
4S7 so, but the Administration is deter
mined that this shall not be done, and
has attempted to intimidate the House
by the threat made through Mr.. Kas-
son.


We trust that the House will firmly
stand by its thirty-nine millions reduc-
tion. The country needs more economy
and vigor in the Government, and If the
Senate and President insist upon having
their way or defeating the appropriation
bill, the responsibility will be theirs.


This matter shows very clearly that
the Republican party is bent upon re-
sisting all reserr. and retrenchment in
the Government. The retainers and
henohmen of the Administration must
be provided for, and to do this the people
nust be taxed. The trade and indus
tries Of the country may suffer, but the
Babcocks, the Boss Shepherds, the
Grants, and all the vast army Of Office
holders must have money, and therefore.
the Republican President and Senate
are determined that the thirty nine
millions the House proposes to save the
people shall not escape the clutches Of

This was suit by attachment commenced
by the plaintiff in error against the defen-
dants in error for a debt of S400 The writ
OF attachment was levied on personal prop
efty Afterwards the property was restored
TO the defendants upon their entering into
bond under 9l440, Code 1S7l,) conditioned
TO pay and satisfy such Judgment as was
rendered by the court. After the execution
of the bond the defendants filed a plea
traversing the grounds alleged for the
attachment To this plea the plaintiff de-
INJURED, on the ground that, after the exc
cution of this bond, the defendant could not
contest the propriety of the writ of attach
ment. This demurrer was overruled and

Judgment for the defendants. Thereupon
the plaintiffs prosecuted a writ of error.
Held:


L. Where suit by attachment is begun,
the defendants may replevy the property
under 9l349, Code 1871, on giving a bond
conditioned TO have the property forthcom-
ing and also contest the attachment, or
may have the attachment discharged and
the property restored by giving bond,
under 9l44O, Code 1871, to pay and satisfy
the judgment of the court as to the debt


IL. When the bond provided for by Sl440
is given, the attachment is "discharged,"
and the question of Indebtedness alone is
left in litigation, or TO be contested, and the
defendant cannot contest the grounds stated
in the affidavit for the writ of attac hment
If a defendant desires to replevy the prop
erty and contest the attachment, a bond
should be given under Sl439 Code 1871.
