was there any thing Objectionable ~ the
committees resolutions No, any thing iha
a true Union man could object to. Another
thing. His resolutions were introduced, We
have no doubt, for the express purpose OF
breaking up this Union meeting, for we have
been informed that two Democrats we're over
heard talking in which one admitted that he
had wen, into the meeting TO aid IN breaking

A WILD Man OF THE MooDs. The
Memphis Enquirer gives an account OF a
Wild Man recently discovered in Arkansas.
1t appears that during March last, Mr. Ham
llton, OF Greene county, Ark, while out
hunting with an acquaintance, observed
drove of cattle in state OF apparent alarm
evidently pursued by some dreaded enemy.
Hating for the purpose, they discovered as
the animals fled by them, that they were
followed by an animal bearing the unmls-
taxable likeness Of humanity. lie was OF
gigantic stature, the body being covered
with hair, and the head with long locks that
fairly enyeloped his neck aud shoulders
The Wild man, after looking at them delib-
erately for short time, turned and ran a
way with great speed, leaping from twelve
to fourteen feet at time HIS foot prints
measured thirteen inches each This SIN
gular creature, the Enquirer says, has long
/ been known radItonally IN ST. Francis
Greene and Poinsett counties, Ark, sports
men aud hunters having described him sew
enteen years since. A planter indeed sa"
him very recently, but withheld tins inior-
nation lest he should not be credited, until
the account of Mr. Hamilton aud his trend
placed the existence of the animal beyond
cayil. A great deal of interest Is telt IN the
matter, by the inhabitants of that region,
and various conjeclures have been yentured
in regard to him. The most generally Ell
tertained idea appears to be that he was a
survivor of the earthquake which desolated
that region in 1911. Thrown helpless upon
the wilderness by that disaster, 1t isprobable
,hat he grew up in his savage state, until
he now bears only the outward resemblance
of humanity. So well authenticated have
now become the accounts of this creature,
that AN expedition is organizing IN Mem

How to Make Vinegar.

There are great many notions entertained
among our farmers about making vinegar.
The grand old plan was to put out cider. or
water and molasses IN cask to the sun and
expose ito the luminary with bottle in the
bung hole. There are still as many IDEAS
entertained about making vinegar as there
are about making soft soap and luck is fire.
quently held TO be the umpire who decides
whether It will be vinegar or no vinegar.-
The reason why cider or other fluid mix
lures change their nature and become vine
gar IS owing to transformation Of the par
ticles and then a separation Of one or more.
and a combination of others. The oxygen
Of the atmosphere, although it is not now,
as was once believed to be, the only acidif-
er, still It Is the great one, and vinegar is
formed by the cider parting with its carbon
&c acid gas, which 1t caunot do without alb
sorbng oxygen. The reasonable way then
to make vinegar rapidly aud surely, is to
expose the cider as much as possible to the
atmosphere. The new way and what IS
supposed by many to be a pateut way to
make vinegar is to let the cider percolate
over very exposed surface This is the
way they make 1t in the vinegar manufacto-
'. uc dlli llltulo NlttIt II - Hldue Is
freely exposed to the air, aud is kept at a
temperature of about 60 O. The cider is
left to run in small streams into troughs
with bottoms full of small holes then from
that over very fine wood shaylngs, SUCH as
soft maple, and let these be fully exposed to
the air, and rested on a Slated bottom made
Of clean bows or lalhes, below which the
vessel for receiving it should be placed
vinegar can be made from molasses and wa
ter, grapes, corn stalks, beet roots, aud ma
ny other substances by this process, in few
days. Cider, however makes the best VIM
egar, Many notifications (ior cheapness)
of the above plan may be resorted to, the
grand secret being the exposure of the Ii
guilds to be changed into vinegar, in layers
or strata to the oxygen of the atmosphere.
There is no: farmer but with a cask, an
old tub, and few shayings, could make
good vinegar IN one fifth Of the period now
required by the common plans IN use for
that purpose In those vinegar factories
introduced here by Frenchmen, the plans
adopted are those we have narrated.

Love VS.. Health.
by MISS c. NJ. sUDGwIcK.
ffom Aruur's HEINZ Gazette.

About mile from The Berkshire villages,
aud separated from II by the llousatonic, Is
one of the loyellest SITES M all our old coun-
Try. il Is on an exhausted farm of rocky,
irregular, grazing ground with meadow OF
rich alluyal soil. The river, which SO near
ly surrounds II as TO make It peninsula
in little, doubles around narrow tongue
OF land, called the 'Ox-bow'-a bit OF
meadow so smooth, so fantastic ~ ITS shape,
SO secluded, so adorned by IT'S fringe of WI
lows, clemastuses, grape-ynes, all our wa
ter-loving shrubs, that II suggests To every
one, who ever read fairy tale, a scene for
the Teyels of elves aud fairies. Yet, no
Oberon-no Tltania dwelt there but long
ago where there are now some ruInous re-
mains of old houses, and an uncouth new
one, stood the first frame house of the low
or valley of the HousatonIc. 1t was inhab-
tied by the last Indian who maintained the
name of Chief, and from him passed to the
first Missionary TO the tribe. There Kirk
land, the late honoTcd President of Harvard
College, was born, aud his genial aud gem
erous nature received its first and Ineifa-
celble impressions. Tenant, unknown to
fame, succeeded the Missionary.
The Indian dwelling fell to decay and
the property has now passed INTO the hands
OF poet who, rumor says, proposes trans
forming II TO villa, whose occupant will
give TO II new conservation.
Just before It's final high destiny was re-
vealed, there dwelt there rustic pair, who
found GU, rather late IN life, that Heaven
had decreed they should wear together the
conlugal yoke. That Heaven had decreed
II, no one could doubt who saw how well II
fitted, aud how well they drew together.
They had one child-a late blossom, and
cherished as such. Little Mary Marvel
would have been spoiled, but there was
nothing to spoil her. Love is the element
Of life, aud in an atmosphere of love she
lived. Her parents were people of good
sense-upright habits, with no theories, MOI
prejudices, ambitions or corruplions, to turn
the child from the inspiration of Heaven
with which she began her innocent life.
When little Mary Marvel came to be sew
en- years old, il was a matter of serious con
sidera,ion how she was TO be got to the dis
trict school or the plain THE common de
signaiion of the broad village street) full !
mile from the Marves secluded residence
Mrs. Marvel was far better qualified thar

minded woman, and a reader of all Tho
books she could compass, but she had al
