STRANGE DIsEAsE--A singular and malignant
disease has appeared in Providence, R. l., and some
cases have proved fatal. The Providence Post says
of it:
It commences as little dark spot on the face or
hands, with perhaps singing or prcking pain, on
which spot there appears pustule OF vesicle,
seated on hard infamed base, in which is formed
slough Of charcoal blackness, where modification
commences The disease is attracting the earnest at.
tention of the physicians. The only efectual mode
Of treatment is said to be to burn the pmple out in
its early stages with hot iron with caustic. In
view OF the rather underlined nature Of this disease
we would suggest that it is emnently desirable II any
one is troubled with pimpe swelling Of an unusual
character that physician should be at once consult
ed before it is tempered with Although there Is no
cause for general Alarm disease OF this maliSHan,
type cannot be checked too early.
We learn by Saturday morning papers thai q mar
died on Friday afternoon, in Providence, from thu
effects of this disease.

This independent action and flexibility Of
the finger bar lessons the liability TO break
ACE when IN contact with distractions. 1t
also permits the finger bar to be set at any
desired height, and to facilitate its motion
in soft ground. This contriyance for secur-
ing the rise and fail Of the cutter bar is
very ingenious, and is worthy OF common
dation. The gearing is good. This Ma

tined TO take high rank"
Charles HartShorn and William Child
of Fairlee, VT, have used this machine aud
say they prefer it to any other machine
they have seen. Roswell Robertson OF
Charlestown, n, H., used this machine lust
year, and in letter TO tn, manufacturers,
dated October 1878, says his machine more
than paid for itself last year. He cut fifty
tons of grass with il the first week and got
it all into the barns in good order with the
same help; without a machine he thinks he
could not h,ve got one-half that ,antity.
He cut 1872 tons of hay wi h it in all, and
used il in all kinds of grass and it worked
well everywhere. A. II. Wilcox Of St.
John}bury, has moved lodged clover with
it with entire success.
We have thus given our readers pretty
full account of this machine because it
seems to be very useful thing to every
farmer. This article Is rot inserted as an

County Senators.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t is well known that
many in cur county, FIR certain reasons, are
DESTROYS of running an entire new ticket for
County Senators this year-to all who are
in favor o. this course, | wish to throw out
word of caution. Last year certain
person was put forward as eand date
against Mr.. Clark, by the Windham Coun-
ty Bank Clique at Bra tleboro. They have
again started the same person. Now in
my humhle opinion, any man who is start
ell by this clique, for the office of Soma or,
or indeed for any other office, will surely
meet with political death; and the danger is
that the honest portion of lhe county, who
are anxious to have new ticket for Senat-
ors, may unwiiringly be lead into the sup
port of this person and thereby find them
selves in close fellowship with this clique.
Beware of this. If new Senators are 10
be chosen, let them be upright and honest
men, and let no faction or political instilu-
ton present men for the SURFACES Of the
honest freemen of Windham County.
