An exchange gives the following anu
sing account of the way a farmer was
taught how cheaply he could take pa
per. The lesson is worth consideration
'You have hens at home, of course.
Well, I will send you my paper for one
yer for the products of . single hen for
the year and the proceeds. II seems tri-
fling, preposterous, TO imagine the pro-
duets OF 8 single hen will pay sub
scripton-perhaps 1t won't, but | make
the offer. .....
Done, agree to it,, exclaimed Farm
er B., and appealed TO me as a witness OF
the affair. . .
The farmer went off, apparently much
elated with the conquest; the editor
went on his way rejoicing.
Time rolled on, the world revolved on
its axis, and the sun moved in it's orbit
as ii formerly did. The farmer received
his paper regularly, and RECALLED himself
with the information from it, and said
he was surprised at the progress OF him
self and family In general information.
Some time in the month OF September
/ happened to be again in the office,
when, who should enter but our friend,
Farmer B. ,-,
How do you do, Mr.. B 2 said the ed
itor, extending his hand, his countenance
lit up with bland smile. Take chair
and be seated; fine weather we have
Yes, sir, quite fine indeed he answer
ed, and then q short silence ensued, dur
ing which our friend B. hitched his chair
backward and forward, twirled his
thumbs abstractedly, and spit pro-
fusely. Starting mp quickly, he said,
addressing the editor, Il have brought
You the proceeds OF that hen.'
1t was amusing to see the peculiar
expression of the editor, as he followed
the farmer down to the wagon. could
hardly keep my risibles down.
When at the wagon the farmer COM
menced handing over to the editor the
products, amounting to eighteen pullets,
worth twelve and half cents each, and
number of dozen of eggs, making in
the aggregate, at the least calculation,
one dollar and fifty cents more than the
price of the paper.
No need, said he OF men not taking
q family newspaper, and paying for it,
too. | don't miss this from my roost,
yet have paid for years subscription
and over. All folly, sir; there's no man
but what can take newspaper; it's
charity, you know, commenced at

But, said the editor, Il will pay you
for what is over the subscription: l

The CABINET ORGAN.-Mason & Hamlin be.
gan some thirteen years ago, in the modest
way of building melOdeons; next, their BUSH
ness expanded so that they undertook the man
ufacture of organ harmonious; and now, in the
perfected Cabinet Organ, with facilities for its
construction riyaled by no others, they have
reached that point where their long continued
labors are reaping richly deserved reward.
The uninitiated would be surprised at the de-
gree to which the mechanic arts are laid under
contribution for fashioning one Cabinet Organ,
or the amount of professional faculty required
for bringing it to the high standard demanded.
The most particular artisans are the only hand
craftm en- in Mason & Hamlin's employ, while,
in the higher walks of their calling they make
use, without stint, of the most approved prac-
tical capacity, formed by native aptitude and
years of incessant culture.-[ Boston Transcript.

Terrible Accident at Burlington,
A STAGING FALLS, PRECIPIrATINa 1900
PEOPLE DISTANCE OF Forty
FEET TO THE GROUND.
BURLINGTON, W., Aug. 6.

BURLINGTON, VT, Aug. D.
One of the most frightful accidents
which has ever occurred in this Sec
ton, occurred about four p. m. to-day
on the grounds of the Chittenden County
Agricultural Society in this place,
the annual Fair of which is now in
progress.
At that hour, while the grand stand,
fronting the judges stand, and in full
view OF the entire grounds, was filled to
its fullest capacity, watching the races
in progress on the track, the immense
weight thereon forced it to give way,
and it fell to the ground, a distance of
forty feet, letting down into the debris
nearly three thousand human beings,
presenting most appalling and heart
rending spectacle. Prompt and effective
assistance was at once rendered by the
spectators on the grounds, and the
unfortunate were speedily rescued from
their situation, when, miraculous as it
may appear, it was found that none
were killed outright, though many had
sustained severe injuries, which it is
feared several will not recover. Up to
nine o'clock last evening, the following
casualties had been heard of;
Mrs Hiram Landon, So nth Burlington,
severely Mrs G W Brownell, Williston,
badly bruised; Israel Tracey, Richmond =,
