A Chapter in the Ear'y History of
Vermont.
The following narrative, of the murder
of George and Aaron Robbins by the Ind-
ans, at B 'nndon in the year HI, is not
given in any history l have ever read,-
Thompson, in his Gazetteer, merely makes
mention of these two individuals as hav-
ing been killed by the Indians. 1t ap-
pears either that he did not apply to the
right individual for narrative, or who
ever he applied to for a relation o. the
history of Brandon, was possessed of but
little knowledge of the carly history of
his town, or had so little interest in it as
not to trouble himself to enter into de-
tails in this part of the narrative. Will
liams, in his history of Vermont, is en-
tirely silent on this subject.
In the early part of the summer of
| 1910, this transaction was made the chief
topic of conversation in the towns of Bran
don and Pittsford, in anticipation Of the
proposed celebration of the coming ami
versary of the Fourth of July-which all
political parties had agreed to unite in
celebrating. Which order of celebration
was to be as follows:
The remains of those two distinguished
individuals were to be disinterred from
their resting place, by some of tae inhab'
itants Of Pittsford, who assisted in theil
burial on the day after their eucouu' el
with the Inlians-and their remains t
be placed in a coffin and buried in th

A distinguished parsonage, who has a
great deal to do with the affairs of this
lower world, we are told may quote
Scripture on occasions and so we pre-
sumo the lawyers are privileged to do in
their addresses to juries. Bat the law
yers, very like the theologians, are apt to
cite those parts of Scripture only which
make for their own cause Sir William
Hamilton was fond of quoting, in regard
to the Bible, the old Latin distich, which
may be translated
This is the Book. where each his Dogma seeks
his is he Book where each his Dogma finds "
Certainly the lawyers use it as such.
Nearly half of Mr.. Graham's defence
consisted of extracts from the Old Tcsta-
ment. going to show the hatred in which
the crime against the family was held, and
the terrible fate of is perpetrators. But
the learned counsel fought rather shy of
the New Testament, which is the more re-
markabIe as that authority contains a
case of express legislation. by the Great
Teacher, on the subject in hand. 1t was
was the case of the woman taken R0-
granite dciicto, and who, by the Jewish
law. ought to have been stoned to death
by the bystanders. What said the Mas
ter, when his decision was invoked ?
He said two things the one Of them ad-
dressed to the bystanders, and the other
addressed to the offender.
Let him that is without sin among you,
he remarked to the former, cast the first
stone ), but no stones, it would appear,
were thrown; while to the latter he re-
marked, Go, and sin no more recogni.
sing the sin. but visiting the woman with
no special rebuke. Ifthe Scripture, then,
is to be cited as an authority in the law
courts, we do not see what special cn.
couragemcnt or so!ace Mr., Graham and
his client are to derive from this prece.
dent
Again. if the counsel had pushed hi:
inquiries further into the New Testament
he might have discovered, in the tcntl
and eleventh verses of the second chapter
of the Epistlc Of James, most appropri
ate tcxt for his comments to the jury
James, enlightcning the casuistry of hi
hearers, says, Whoever shall keen thu
whole law, and yet offend in one point, h,
is guilty of all. For He that said, d.
not commit adultery, said also, Do no
kill! Now, if thou commit no adultery
yet if thou Kill, thou art become a trans
gressor of the law Nothing could b
more explicit or pointed than these fe'
paragraphs, and they quite upset th
whole elaborate structure so painful
raised by the eloquent attorney at Wash
, ington.-N. Y. Post.

GoT.-The word got is often introduced
superfuousIy a incorrectly into familiar
expressions. When, in reply to my "lcnd
me a dollar" you say, I've got no
money you simply say what you do not
mean; omit the got, and your meaning is
rightly conveyed. "I've got cold" is
not bad Eng!is', if you mean to convey
the idea that you have procured or con-
tracted cold somewhere; but, if you
merely wish to slv--as you probably do
that you are now suffering from a cold,
~ have a cold" is the propcr expression
She has got a fair complexion" Here
got is ggain an interloper for you do
not mean to say she has procured fair
complexion, but simply that she has one.
"I've got to 60 to New York tomorrow

Action OF SUGAR on THE TErTH.-M.
Larez of France, in the course Of his in
vestigations on the teeth, has arrived at
the following conclusions; first, that re-
fined sugar, from either cane OF bceis, is
injurious to healthy teeth, either by I'M
mediaie contact, with these organs, or by
the gas developed, owing to its stoppage
in tho stomach second, that if tooth is
macerated in a saturated solution Of sugar
it is so much altered in the chemical com
position that it becomes gelatinous, and its
enamel opaque, spongy and easily broken ;
this modification is due, not to free acid,
but to a tendency of sugar to combine
with the calcareous basis Of the tooth.
