SINGULAR ACCIpENr.-Mr. John Rob
ers, of Oxford, n. H., lately met with a
singular accident. He had been absent
from home and returned after dark. 1t
was blowing 4 severe Gale, and while at
tempting to put up his horse, he was tax
en- up by the wind and carried several feet
coming down upona stone with such force
as to fracture his thigh bone In this con-
dltlon he could not reach his house, which
was some rods distant, nor could he sue
cecil in making himself heard, but finally
succeeded in crawling to the barn, where
he remained, standing on one leo, all night
and until about nine o'clock the next
morning, when he was found by his fam
ily.-Oyinlon.

The Temperance Question. 80 4
Bri0Ht Idea.

The Springfield Republican, a half
hearted paper, which supplies with news
a large circle OF readers of all classes and
shades of politics, morals and religion,
and tries its best to please all, without
MORALLY offending any, and which is of
course ''trimmer'' on temperance as in
other th;ngs-gives in late number its
idea OF what the stringent license law"
should be, which it wishes substituted for
the prohibitory law Of Massachusetts,.
One feature Of this model enactment is
that Everybody who took out a license to
sell liquor should be responsible in DANA
ges for any violence or crime which per-
son might commit while under the infu-
ence OF liquor purchased of him.
1t strikes us that the Republican would
find its statute about as difficult to execute
impartially and thoroughly, as it declares
the prohibitory law to be- We think we
see the Republican rearranging the crimi-
nal code on It's new principle For the
simple assault or petty larceny committed
while i'll liquor, it might be easy to provide
that the liquor seller shall pay his share of
the fine. But how shall it be managed i'll
some other cases? Take the sot who
slowly murders with abuse his helpless
wife; who begets diseased children and
makes their life Il terror with blows and
curSlng who starves his household that
he may drink. What is the life OF such a
brute but one prolonged crime, and by
what process OF law shall the damages
be assessed and collected! What shall be
the damages for b!ighted characters, for
the ruined prospects Of usefulness and
lame; for the launch on the downward
career of disgrace and misery, which the
rum-seller sells with his liquor over the
bar! How arrange the penalty when af-
ter 4 round through dozen drinking 81
looms, a temporary maniac takes the life
of his fellow! Shall the worth of the
dead mans life be computed and its value
to his widow and children be assessed in
money on each dealer who sold him a
glass! Or would it be more equal Justice
that each licensed vender of excitementS

derer ior the deed of blood, should be
strung up beside him, for little while, as
he eXplates his crimes Huntington Free

claims that their defiant acts and inten-

Baird can see in the presidents acts only
a sincere desire to preserve the public

gard TO the fact that none of the rioters
have ever been arrested, that .:both sides

The receipts from internal revenue
during the past week were 50, 263,9l0.
-Telegrams from the South continue
to report damages to the crops and rail
roads.
---InJ une 5 1898 acres OF the public lands
were disposed OF, most of it for cash, and
the remainder taken under the home
stead law.
Our new Pacific territory is called
Alaska in the official instructions to
Collector Dodge, who is going to look
after the revenue there.
The Turkish Minister and suite
arrived Saturday and will be officially
presented to the President on Wednesday
next. The gorgeousness of their uni
forms attract great attention.
Judge Holt has been granted leave
of absence until Sept. 5. In the meantime
the President declares that the order
transferring him to other duties will be
issued.
An Administration paper says that
the President has decided to muster out
General Howard as Major General OF
Volunteers, though he will remain as
Commissioner OF the Freedmens Bureau.
An order is to be issued mastering
out volunteer officers who are not needed,
and assigning officers OF the regular
army to their places. 1t is reported that
Maj. Gen. Howard, chief OF the freed.
mems bureau will be one of the mustered
out.
Gen. Rousseau aud two Russian
Commissioners appointed by the re-
spective Governments to formally
arrange the transfer OF the recently
acquired Russian Territory dined with
the Secretary of State on Saturday.
They leave tomorrow for Sitka, sailing
from New York.
The Government has intelligence
from the Pacific coast that several Cali
fornia spectators nave been to Sitka
and acquired titles from the Russian
authorities to large quantities OF land
since the ratification OF the treaty They
claim they can 10 this.

MONTPELIER AND ST.. JoHNsBuRY RAIL.
RoADs.-It is reported that the road
from Montpelier to Portland is about to
break ground. Parties most interested
have been constantly at work, and re-
port the preliminary steps nearly ready.
A vast amount of energy is thrown into
the work, and has not been discouraged
from the beginning. The people OF West
Concord have voted 100000 to secure
the read through the town, and Lunen-
burgh is now engaged in raising $50 900,
with good prospect of success. A road
through these towns is much needed,
and they seem to appreciate the fact. 1t
will open a great lumber region, and
add much wealth to that section of the
country. West Concord, with a railroad,
will rank with the best towns in North
ern Vermont. Her existence rests upon
enteprrising shoulders.

A FAMILY PoIsosED.--Last Monday
noon the family of L. K. Quimby, in
Lyndon, partook of starch pudding,
and an hour afterwards began to be sick.
Some eight or ten workmen engaged on
his new building took dinner with him,
and eight of the family and workmen
ate of the pudding, and were soon seized
with stomach sickness and vomiting.
Several OF the men were carried home,
supposing they had sudden attack Of
summer complaint. The next day, they
were all as well as usual, with the ex-
ception OF lame stomachs. The doctor
thinks there must have been a drop Of
tartar emetic in the starch OF which the
pudding was made, which possibly got
in by some mistake when it was put up.
The family has before used starch from
the same lot without any serious effects.

An OLD CLAIM.-After an absence Of
thirty-nine years, a man named Barnes
has arrived in Windsor County and lays
claim to certain piece of real estate at
South Pomfret, which for many years
has been in the undisturbed possession
OF other parties, and on which about
onehalfof Smith Hodges dwelling house
now stands. An examination of Pom
fret town records discloses the fact that
a clean title to the property has not
been given since Barnes time. The
matter is undergoing investigation.
