SEEING AN AVALANCHE PAss.-Mr
Francis Gallon, we'll known English
traveller and member of the Alpine
Club" has this summer made a singular
experience 10 Switzerland. He discov-
cred spot on the Jungfrau range, where
be might stand in safety and watch the
avalanches sweeping past him, within
thirty feet, Of his person. In one-half
day he saw three descents. The avail
anchess lid two thousand feet, then leaped
two great bounds of thousand feet more
to the channel, close to which he was
standing, and then burst out at the foot
of the channel like storm of shrapnell.' u
Mr. Gallon describes the general appear
ance of the avalanche when seen at so
short distance, as that Of" an orderly
mob filing the street and fastening, not
hurrying, to the same object" Something
of the same impression is made upon one
who looks attentively at the great sheet
of water which rolls slowly down on the
Canadian side of the falls at Niagara
The motion is majestically deliberate
and though swift, not hurried. The noise
of the avalanche in motion, Mr.. Galtor
likens to "the sound of a rapid tide rush
ing up many channels" The avalanche ii
described as consisting of a mass OF ICE
balls, usually from a foot TO yard in di
ameter, which produce "the fearful rat
tie of the ice cascade"

MAINE ELECTIoN.-The election il
Maine occurred on Monday last and re-
suited in an overwhelming triumph for
the Union, the republicans having made
large gains everywhere, and whipping
the copperheads most beautifully. Re
turns from one hundred and twenGy-six
towns give Cony, the republican candi-
date, a majority of 1926, over Bradbu-
ny, his opponent. This is a gain oyer
last year of $685. The Union majority
this year is 1921 against l ,944 last year.
The majority for the republicans will
probably be about $4,000. Vermont had
better look to her laulels.

This is not a very pretty record for a
town that claims to be the metropolis Of
all Gods creation that has steamboats,
and railroads running right into her busy
marts that wants the county buildings
and, Considering the above vote) deserves
the JAIL! Those who voted the propo-
sition down ought to be lulled to sleep by
the hiss Of the copperhead!

DEATH OF FLoYD.-It is with the
greatest pleasure that we announce to
our readers the death of John B. Floyd
of Virginia, one of the original concoc-

done the big stealing for the eonfederacy.
He has gone down just as the rebellion

THE ATTEMPTED SUIoIDE.-In re-
gard to the attempted suicide of young
Fisher, mentioned in our last, there are
some facts not known to US at the time.
He had been unwell for few days and
was insane the most of the time. During
one Of these crazy moments the attempt
was made to end his life by cutting his
throat with a razor. The cash was a
small one and bled only sufficient to bring
him to consciousness. He is now doing
better, though be is insane most of the
time yet. He said he had no knowledge
of attempting the deed, but thought be
was throttled by an enemy when he tried
to cut his adversary's throat. He is a
respectable young man aud belongs to an
excellent family who feel greatly distress
ed over the event.

HORSE TmEvEs.-There is gang Of
horse thieves in this county and all along
the frontier. 1t is reasonable to believe
that they have Matched out Of the nest
of skedaddlers in Canada, and it would
not be a bad plan to arrest some Of these
fellows on suspicion. On Friday night
last four horses were stolen from enclo-
sures in Barton, and a reward of $50 is
offered by Hon. Henry Keyes and others
for their recovery. Catch 'em and hang
them.-NeqcS.

Warm Clothing.

Friends of the, Soldier The ~. S
Christian Commission" would call your
attention TO the suffering occasioned by
the want OF aoarm clothing, among the
sick and wounded soldiers; suffering,
which at all times, is greater than is sup
posed by those remote from the army,
and which must be relieved in great part,
by private benevolence and enterprise.
Already, demand is made upon the Com
mission for sc0olen shirts, drawers, and
socks-ihe call for agoolen socks being
very great. As the weather grows cool
err, these demands must necessarily in
crease. Will not the ladies of Vermont
give a practical answer to the anxious
inquiry, GLOW shall these growing wants
of our suffering soldiers be metz"
Let US also ask of the Ladies'" here,
that, either putting up tomatoes for "fam-
ily use" (since this is the season for it,)
they will not forget the soldier. No fruit
more bealtbful than this can be sent to
the "hospital.'

Presently he turned around, and with q peculiar
twinkle in his eye that gave me to understand that
ho knew what he was saying, replied, "We'll
evacuate aud fall back" From the emphasis be
placed on the it.lioized words, I think they have

expressive manner in which the remark was made,
could only infer that il was well Understood that
they should evacuate.
