worms, about an inch long, lying on the
top OF the snow BY hundreds; and these
were scattered along the road travelled
for distance Of not less than five miles.
I would say, farther, that there were nc
trees near, from which the worms might
have been shaken; and if there had been,
and the worms had been on them, they
would all have been frozen, for it had been
very cold, and the ground was frozen hard
before the snow fell. The worms were
alive, for they Immediately coiled up when
I took them in my hand. They were o

CLEAR THE TRACK. A horse and
sleigh was met upon the track of the Nor
witch and Worcester Railroad, early on
Wednesday morning last, about two miles
from this village, by the steamboat train
coming in. The horse was killed and the
sleigh smashed to atoms. 1t appears that
the horse went up the Worcester Railroad
track as far as the crossing, and took the
Norwich track down until he came to the
bridge, that being partly uncovered caused
some hesitation. in which state he remain
ed till he was killed by the engine Gen.
Putnam. The engineer nor any one else
connected with the train was aware OF the
accident until they were informed Of it by
the persons with the train which arrived
at nine o'clock. We understand that the
horse belonged to Jasper Tucker, of North
Brookfeld. - Worcester Spy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9th 1916.
John Hampden Peasants is dead ! HI

wounds inflicted upon his person by
Thomas Richie, Jr. in their recent rem

follows: The quarrel had gone on 10 !heil
newspapers 10 such an extent that Mr..
Pleasants thought himself called upon to
bring the matter to crisis. He therefore
sent request to Mr. Richie to meet him
at specified place and hour across the
river from Richmond with side arms
Mr. Richie sent word back that he could
not consent to settle the affair in that way.
Mr. Peasants then sent him word that the
matter must be settled and in that way.
Mr. Richie then prepared himself with
a revolver of six barrels, two duelling pts.
tolls, and horseman's short sword, and
repaired to the place designated at the time
named.
Mr. Pleasanis, who had not arrived,
wore Two Tor four; there is doubt about
this) common pistols and sword cane. -
A friend of Mr. Pleasants approached Mr.
Richie, and said 10 him. that he thought
the difficulty might be settled if the latter
would do one thing, and that was, to ac-
knowledge that he believed MIR Peasants
to be brave man. Mr. Richie replied
that once he could have done this but
now, Mr. Pleasants having called him
there, and not appearing himself he could
not make such an acknowledgment. Mr.
Peasants friend then informed him that
he presumed he would have to fight. Mr.
Richie replied, very we'll, he had come
there 10 meet Mr. Peasants, The friend
Of the latter left the spot and went to his
principal, who was not far off, Soon af-
ter this Mr. Pleasants appeared, approach
ing Mr. Richie, considerably in advance
of the two friends who had accompanied
him to the spot. As he approached at a
rapid pace, Mr. Richie fred successfully
his two duelIng pistols. resting each on
his left arm, drawn up in an angle for
that purpose. He then presented his re-.
volver, and fired either four or five of its
barrels After he had fred upon Mr.
Pleasants, the latter drew and fred thrice
without effect, all the time rushing up to
Mr. Richie, and when near enough he
struck him with his sword cane, when the
scabbard flew off, and Mr. Richie struck
up the blade or spear with his short sword
in doing which he received the point OF
Mr. Peasants spear in the corner of his
mouth, cutting upwards slight cash.
Mr. Peasants then fell, having received
FIVE wounds from the pistol shots of his
anita gonist, if not one from his short sword.
One ball raked across the back Of his left
hand, carrying away all the muscles and
tendons leading to the fingers; another
passed through the deshy part Of his left
arm, half way up from the elbow to the
shoulder; another entered the left breast
and ranged round under the arm; fourth
entered the left groin and proved mortal.
The fifth wound was in the right thigh T.,
either by ball or thrust from the short
sword above alluded to. 1t is thought TO
have been from the latter.

The AMERICAN TITLE TO ORE GoN.-In
Malte Brun's Geography-a standard work
book seventy-nine, is the following pas
sage:
" On the west side of the mountains
Rocky the Americans have an unques-
toned claim to the country from the 42d
to the 10th parallel; and more doubtful
claim, which is disputed by Russia, to the
country from the 49th to the Goth parallel
This celebrated geographer takes no no.
tice of the British claims. The dispute be-
tween the United States and Russia was ad-
justed some time ago, by mutual agree
ment in favor of the parallel of 54 degrees
and 40 minutes, as the boundary line be-
tween the respective territories of the two
nations.
Twenty-one years ago President Monroe
asserted the same opinions with regard to
our claims to Oregon that President Polk
put forth in his message. Mr.. Rush, who
was minister at the Court of St. James at
the time, in work published by him, says:
"When the message arrived in London,
the whole document excited great attention.
1t was upon all tongues; the press was full
Of it; the Spanish American deputies were
oveuoyed; Spanish American securities
rose in the stock market, and the safety of
the new States from all American coercionI

This invaluable medicine was prepared
from an extensive practice Of several years
in bilious climate, aud is never known to
fail Of curing Fever and Ague, or any of the
above diseases.
1t is equally efectual for the cure of Liv-
er Complaint, Jaundice, enlargement of the
liver; also enlargement of the spleen, called
Ague cake, and the various forms of bilious
Indigestion. These, with the other varied
affections of such climates, arising from a
common miasmal cause, are only modifica-
tons of the same disease, and equally con-
trolled by the same remedy.
Residenss of bilious climates, emigrants,
or persons travelling through infected districts
of country, will find the Cholagogue an in
variable and absolute preventive.
Each bottle of medicine is accompanied
with pamphlet on the "Causes, Treatment,
and cure of Fever and Ague. and other Dis
eases of Bilious Climates" containing much
valuable information, and may be had gratis

ANN ARBoR, Feb. 18th 1912.
Mr. EDWARD BINGHAM:
Sir-Having had repeated opportunities
during the last year, 10 witness the salutary
effects of DIR. Osgood's India Cholagogue, 1t
affords me great pleasure to bear testimony
in its favor, as an invaluable remedy in cases
of fever and ague and bilious diseases gen.
orally. Many cases have come under my
observation, of persons who have suffered
for years, who have been Immediately re
lieved by the use of one or two bottles Of
the Cholagogue; and | have not known a
single case where relief has not been OBJ
tanned by its use.
Believing that the general use Of this me-
dicine must be of the greatest Importance
TO all persons living in those parts of our
country, which are subject to bilious Dis
eases, give it this general recommendation
Nor is the pleasure of this act diminished
by the fact that am personally acquainted
with DR.. Osgood, and that have the most
entire confidence in him as skillful, expe-
rienced, and judicious physician. l remain
respectfully, your most obedient servant,
