The Best Prercnfire against Cholera
From report Of committee Of The Order
Of the Sons Of Temperance, at New Or,
LEAFS. appointed 10 ascertain the number
Of deaths Of 4Asiatic Cholera, in that city,
we extract the fallosing:
.Your committee leg leave to report
that they find-that in II divisions, NUM-
bering l243 members, only three desths
have occurred !; and in some of the Dlsl-
sions, we are told, not even a confirmed
case Of Cholera occurred. And it is also
worthy Of notice, that willis: our city and
vicinity consisting Of about 100, 900 souls,
during the prevalence of Cholera, lost
about 1900 by death, the Sons Of Temper.
ance lost but three members, one of which
had been member but one week, one 9th
er less than a month, and the third, al
though member much longer, was a city
Waterman, and consequently much expos.
ed. So that it will be seen that the NOR
tally in the general population is fifteen
deaths TO a thousand souls, while that of
the Sons Of Temperance is less than three.
(3) TO 1900, striking contrast which
goes far to prove the value Of the Order.
All Of which is respectfully submitted.

men employed in excavating the summit
cut Of the Rutland Railroad, Mount Hol-s
ley, discovered a Fossil Tooth of great
size, and in a fine state Of preservation
II lay in muck pit, three or four feet be-
low the surface Of the ground which at
that point underlies the muck. The Tooth
is about eight inches long on its face, and
four or five broad, and weighs as an in-
torment thinks, seven or eight pounds .-i
The color is a dark lead. The tooth was
taken from the South side Of the cut, near
the brink. stE y*eas k.A ,sF y
A few days since, at the same point,
in the edge Of the pit, a Fossil Horn was
taken out more than four feet long, and
four inchesin diameter. The color is dark
err than the tooth, and both ends are de-
cayed and gone. The surface is hard and
tough, and feels like horn. The pith is
brittle, easily crushed between the fingers,
and unctuous TO the touch. 1t is highly
probable that more of these remains will
be found at or near the spot.-( Burling-
