Showers:

A cohpdtison of the whole number OF
meteors observed with the ntimeticai re;
suits OF previous showers shows that this
shower was far less significant than some
of its predecessors. Whether other parts
of the world witnessed grander phase id
the display than vein England did, We cam
not say, for there is ct present no atithen'
tic information on the point. NJ. Coislvier
Gravier, who ought to be adthoriiyTat 4
recent sitting of the French Academy os
Sciences suggested that the maximum dis
play of the epoch might be expected in No;
vem ber, 1857, because lie said, the really
great showers are thirty-four years apart,
instead of ,thirty.tbree, and The. last of these
was that Of 1898. Moreover he. called at
tention to the fact that every grand shower
was preceded by, one not SO grand in the
year before it, This was the case in 1889

A SNAKE IN THE GRASS.
BY JOHN @. sAxR.

Come, listen awhile tc me, my lad,
Come, listen 10 me spell
Let that terrible drum
For a moment be dumb,
For your uncle is going to tell
A youth who loved liquor we'll.
A clever young man was he, my lad,
Aud with beauty uucommonly blessed,
Ere with brandy and wine
He began IN decline,
And behaved like person possessed,
I protest
The temperance plan is the best.
One evening he went to the tavern, my lad,
He went 20 the tavern one night,
And drinking too much
Rum, brandy and such,
The chap got exceedingly Eight"
What your aunt would entitle fright"
The fellow fell into a snoo1e, my lad,
'Tis horrible slumber he takes
He trembles with fear,
And acts very queer
My eyes how he shivers aud shakes
When he awakes,
And raves about great horid snakes
IT'S warning to you and to me, my lad,
A particular caution to all
Though no one can see
lhe viper but he
To hear the poor lunatic howl,
GLOW they crawl
Ali over the floor and the wall !"
The next morning he took to his bed, my lad,
Next morning he took to his bed,
And he never got up
To dine or TO sup.
Though properly physicked and bled;
And | read,
Next day, the poor fellow was dead.
You have heard Of the snake in the grass my lad
OF the viper concealed in the grass
But now you must know
Mans deadliest fee
Is snake of different class
Alas
'Tis the viper that Turks in the glass.

Governor OF Vermont, was born St He
bron in the county Of Holland and State
Of Connecticut on the 10Th day OF Sep.
tember, 1881 ; and came TO Vermont
about the beginning Of the present cent
ury. He studied law with the Hon. Daniel
Buck Of Chelses-hsving been admitted
to the bar, he commenced 8 practice OF
his profession st St. Johnsbury, in the

continued to reside till his death.
He WAS appointed Clerk of tle So.

BURGLARY AND BRUTAL ASSAULT IN
CRAFTsBURY.-About nine o'clock on the
evening OF Thursday last, the house of
Mrs. Deborah Loomis, s very pious and
exemplary widow lady, "a years old,
and sister Of the photographer Wor.
cester-possessed Of some means, and
supposed TO have considerable money on
hand st the time, was entered through
the cellar window by q ruffian in dis.
guise. Mrs. LOOMS lived entirely alone
and had retired, but was not yet asleep,
when she heard noise in the kitchen,
and went to see what 1t was. AS she
opened the door she confronted the vii
lain who Immediately extinguished the
light and seized the old lady in violent
manner and threw her upon the floor
she CRYING murder. The brute jumped
upon her and beat her in q savage man.
ner for some time, when she appealed to
him to know how she had ever offended
or wronged him, aHd asked him what he
wanted, telling him she was poor lone
widow with no protector but God! He
replied he wanted money, and money he
would have. She told him she had none,
aud we suppose such WAS the truth.
After extorting from her promise that
she would give no alarm until morning,
the brute left, telling her that his name
was Hall, and that he had been hired by
three men in Greensboro to do the deed,
and instructed by them how to proceed,
