Chief Crokor, of Tammany, was inter

Clevelaud as lonc as it remains on tho
statuto books.
The prcscnt roll eall of tho Scnato
shows 44 Democrats, S8 Republicans,

Tho vacancics aro one cach in Montana,

Y. M O. A. Notoa,
Tho followin2 comitlimcntary Uttcr
has been received:
Mit. Uoyt, Scc'y Y. M. C. A., Bcnning-
tou, Vt. My Dear Sir: Having an hour
to Rparo this afteruoon, I was just start
inir out to find tho nublio library, whcn
I uoticed tho lettcrs on your front win
dows, and, taking somo interest in Y.
M. C. A. work, I stoppcd insido to seo
wliat quartors tho association had ln
Bennington. I had iritcnded rcmainlng
only a minute, but.thocheerful openflrc,
tho casy chairs and the gcncral air of
warmth and comfort, provcd moro of a
tomptation than I had anticipatcd so J
drew a chair to tho firo and pickcd np
ono of the magazincs lying on tho rcad
ing tablo. I didn't rcad much, howoror,
for a very cfever perforraor was playing
solections from alopular oper.i, on the
piano, and I found it more cntertaining
to listcn to tho music than to rcad. Af'
ter this young man had flnishcd, a lad
about ten ycars of ago played somo
familiar hymns.
Later I went up into tho gyntnasium
which is very wcll flttcd up with ap
paratus, ana tnrougu tiio batii rooms
down stairs, and I think your cituipmont
is bctter than is usually found inassocia
tion halls in towns the sizo of Benning
ton. You havo better lockers than aro
found in tho 23rd strect branch in New
York city, and in placo of being crowded
into a room not half largo cnough to
accommodato their members, and of bc
ing compellcd to wait for a chaace to
uso tho weights, your young men havo
good apparatus, plenty of room, and an
abundanco of fresh air, and in that ro-
spaet aro better off than tho youth that,
every ovening swArm into the basem'ent
of tho 23rd street branch In New York
clty.
Thero was nothing rough or boistcrons
in tho conduct of the boys in the rooms
a plcasing contrast to what' you find
in many places.
Aitogetner your x. M. u, A. is a cro-
dittoyour town. Yours Truly, w,
The Y M C A is for tho young men of

The meetings of tho Farmcrs' Institute
hold in this villago in Bank hall March
2nd and 3d wero of much importanco and
though attendcd by x fair numbcr would
havo intcrc8tcd a house full at ovcry ses-
sion. The programmo for the tix sessior.s
was fully carricd out, all tho Bpcakers
bcing proscnt aud who had been wisely
solcctcd with refcrenco to'compotcncy to
present tho subjccts assigncd them. The
secrctary of'tho board callcd tho first
meeting to order, and on motion Gilbert
S. Mattison of Shaftsbury, was appoint-
ed permanont chairman. The addruss of
welcomo was by Ilon. Arthur J.
Deweyof Bennington who in an eloqucnt
manner and in fitting words greeting tho
band of spcakcrs and all who felt inter
est cnough to attcnd, not forgotting to
speak of tho carly history of Bennington
and the state which havo so much for
which her sons may bo pardoncd for
having just prido. But ono subiect was
assigned for a session, tho first belng,
"Caro of tho Dairy Stock." II. W. Vail
of Pomfret, who has had much oxper-
icnco in this branch of farming, and one
that should deeply interest every farmer
mado the matter appear so important
that very fow present did not dcsire to
have a hand in this grand rcsourco of the
state. Ilodwelcupon tho selcction of
dairy stock, its caro and fecding and
showcd that tho product, tho valuo of
wlflclf is ndw cnormous, couW whkJ
proper attcntlon be doublcd from tho
tamo numbcr of cows, and with com
parativcly n small incronso in cxpense,
In the afternoon tho "Vermont Driving
Uorse," was tho subject presentcd by C.
M. Winslow of Brandon. His remarks
wero listencd to with great iutero3t, cov-
cring as thoy did tho rolation of tho dif
fercnt qualitics and brecds of horses, as
to probable profit to tho advantago of
tho farmer. Instcad of brccding for
trottcrs, it was recommended 'o aim to
raise good roadcrs and carriago horses
of suitable sizo and thcn if so fortunate
as to have a fast ono it mightbo hailed as
good fortune, for thero will be many dis
appointmcnts if tho maiu objc'ct be tho
raising of trotters. Tho Iiorso moro like
ly to ho mado profitablo in raising for
years to como was thought to bo the
Morgan stock, which has proved for all
purposes to bo the best and most endur
iug. In tho ovcning tho "Raising and
Ilarvesting of Farm Crops," aa conment
cd on by Rollin C. Smith of Pittsford,
hcld tho attention of tho audicnco, as
theso all important portions of farm
laborwero treated, laying as thoy do
almost at tho foundation of wcalth and
comfort, At cach session the subjccts
presonted by tho spoakers wcre followed
by qucttions upon them by tho Interest
cd members of the audience and discus
sions growing outof tho difforent mattcrs
treated resulted in great profit.
The first session on Friday was occu
pied by Senator J. O. Sanford of Stam
ford and tho discussion which followed
upoa "Roatl Building" a subject which
is at prcscnt recciying' tho attention of
villages, towns and states as nover bo-
foro. Mr. Sanford modcstly announccd
that ho did not appear to tell tho farmers
and peoplo just how best to build tho
roads, but to offcr somo suggestions in
giving some of his own cxpcrienccs in
tho matter, which addcd to tho cx
poricnccs which had befallen towns in
this and otber states might help to stim-
ulato a dcsiro for a gcncral movomont in
the dircction of good and pcrmanoi t
road building. By tho chango brought
about by tho manner of doing busincss
of allkinds and tho ncccssity of moving
moro in quantity and faster than years
ago, and tho grcatcr using of thcse thor
oughfares for plcasuro driying, tho do
mand is impcrativo for better ro!r&s, and
is engaging tho attention of all classcs of
citizens in evcry scction of tho land. At'
tention was callcd to the method for-
mcrly and to nulto an cxtcnt now of tho
high wator bar on tho hill roads to stop
tho watcr from running down the misldlo
of the road and turnlng it to tho sido in
stcad of kceping tho road roundcd in
tho ccnter. and having tho watcr flow to
citlnr sido, and at suitablo distaucct
carry tho ovcrilow tinder tho travol to
the Iowcr sido through a culvcrtof wood
or stonc. All mouoy cxpendeu upon
roads should bo done with roforcnco to
thoir pcrmanancy. Aftor using sufflcicnt
of tho tax wisely expended, reserving
fortolerablo good roads the balance,
which in most cases might bo eonsider
ablo, should be used to build a cert-ain
piece in such a way as to make it por
manent. Theso places should bo dono
nceding at present such repairs, tho
wholo to be governed by the travel and
uso of them and tho money at hand for
constructing them. Of courso, tho na-
rturo of the soil, tho lay of tho land over
which tho roads aro built and many
other things' aro to bo taken into con
sidoration and tho best judgment of tho
wisest road makcrs called into requisi-
tion togive tho grcatest swecp. Tho
matcnais to bo used in maklng roads
such as gravcl, hardpan aud crnslicd
stono woro dwolt upon, and tho oxper
ience of towns in tho use of them, some
of which had mado crushcd stono suc.
ceed, while others had pronounccd it a
failure, wero fully givcn. Tho recent
law placing tho caro of tho roads of a
town, outsidp iucorporated villages in
tho hands of a commissioner, is a stcp in
advance towards the desire for good
roads, placing tho rcspousibility whero
it will bolikcly to bo felt, and if anything
can insure a proper oxpendituro of the
vacaut tax, now that the old manner of
working roads U abolishod, wo may ex-
.pcct it, but great caro should bo used in
the sclectiou of mcn to fill this oihco. An
interesting discussion followed tho ablo
presentation of tho subject aud tho two
hours of tho session wero mado edifying
and inspiring. Tendoring a strorg dcsiro
to sco tho working of this new statuto
law.- At 8 o'clock, "Gcncral Farm Man
agemcnt and bliecp llusbandry, was
ably and profitably discusscd by JJ. M,
Arms of Springfield, who is a succcssful
farmer, and has been for many years a
raiscr and brecder of shcep, some ten
yeai's in Now Mexico, and who brought
to tho attontion of his hcarcrs not only
his own oxperienco but that of tho best
Ifarmcrs and shecp brccders of this and
other states. Vermont is not the best
'iarmmg stato of our land, but it docs
tako tho lead in shcep culturo and brccd
ing and tho poiuts presentcd in tho man-
agement of such farras as wo have and
upon tho lattcr subject woro appreciated
and cannot fail to be of advantago to
to manv who wero prcscnt. Tho last
session Friday ovcning was taken up
in discussincr "Vermont its Resourccs
land Attractions," in ten minute ad-
drcsscs. Tho time was fully occupied
aud it was only ncccssary to bo present
to learn, if ono was not already informed
on tho sovcral points brought forward,
that Vermont, though small when com
.parcd with somo othor states, as New
'Vof Callfornla dr TexasJ" ycCTTcr to-
sources aro in comparison exceedingly
great. At most of tho meetings ladies
woro present, though not as many as
should fecl an interest in most of tho
subjccts discusscd, and wcre similar
meetings at no very distant day to bo
again hold hero, there would undoubted
ly bo a much largcr attcndanco of farm
ers from this viciuity. On the wholo it
pronounccd a most cnjoyablo and
profitablo institute. It was not undcr
stood that tho bank kindly donated tho
uso of the hall for theso meetings, or
there would havo been a rcsolution of-
fered, voting the tuanks of tho instituto
and thoso in attendance for tho kinducss
and generosity of the bank ofiicials. Ro
crnt is felt that it was not dono as tho
result would hayo bcoli spontaueous.
In tho endeavor to follow tho lcadings
of tho Iloly Spirit it has been decided to
hold a scrics of rcligious scrvices in the
Cougrcgational church, bcginning tho
12 inst., and to continue through tho
week. The following is tho order of
meetings so far as have been arrangcd,
to any or all of which a curdial inviUv
tion is givcn for everybody to attend. On
