BENNINGTON COUNTY, May, 1869.
Mr.. Editor At our Teachers Institute
Mr.. Dana, of Rutland, made some state
ments in regard to casting interest o,
notes when payment had been made, tina
do not correspond with our text books
AS it seems important that the trutl
should be known, have taken the liber
ty to inquire of you, as one likely I,
know, which is right, Mr.. d., or the text
books.
The books say the Vermont rule is t.
cast the interest on the principal for the
whole time, and on each payment from the
time it was made, to the same time and
balance the amounts, but Mr.. Dana said
all money paid on notes should be applied
first to cancel interest which had accrued
at the time of payment, and if the pay.
ment was more than enough to pay tho
interest, the balance might be applied Il
the principal Which is right ?
ENQUIRER.
RErLY.-The rule for computing inter
est in this State, is so clearly laid down in
our statute law, that there can be no
doubt of the proper legal method of com
putation by person who will read the
act. The rule as laid down by Mr.. Dana,
was very nearly in the language of the
law, and is correct so far as simple interest
is concerned. We give below the second
and third sections of the act in reference
to the computing of interest and Of annual
interest.
SEC. ,. On all notes, bills, or other
similar obligations, whether made paya-
lie on demand, or at a specified time, with
interest, when payments are made, such
payments shall be applied, first, to Lqui-
date the interest that has accrued at the
time of such payment; and secondly, TO
the extingui,hment Of the principal.
Section 8 On all notes, bills or similar
obligations, whether made payable on de-
mand or at a specified time with interest
annually, the annual interests that remain
unpaid shall be subject TO simple interest
from the time they become due to the
time of final settlement but if in any
wear ree.opir.. from tho time sucb an.
nual interest began to accrue, payments
have been made, the amount of such pay
ment- AT the end Of such year, with inter

JAcKsoN's CATARRH SSUFF-Many
of our people are finding out the merits
of DIR. L. r. Jackson's Catarrh Snuff and
Troche Powder. 1t has been sold in this
town for about two years, and is found to
be positive and pleasant remedy for dis
orders of the head and throat. Public
speakers and singers speak very highly of
it, and persons who have used it tell us it
is the best remedy for catarrh or vocal
difficulties of any medicine of the kind
they ever used. 1t can be found at
Fenn's.

A COOP 1DEA.-Many people object to
all efforts to restrain intemperance by
Legislative enactment, and regard it as a
question only to be controlled by popular
opinion. Vermont, Maine and some
other of the States, have tested the bene-
fetal effects of legal restraint upon the
traffic in intoxicating liquors, and have
demonstrated that intemperance can be
checked and controlled by law The State
of Illinois now leads off in a new phase OF
temperance enactments. The last session
of her legislation passed a law CHASING
habitual drunkards with idiots and insane
paupers, and providing for putting their
person and property under the guardian
ship of the overseers of the poor, or a su.
pervisor especially appointed by the
courts. This arrangement is to continue
from one to three years, according to the
conditions and actions of the person thus
placed in ward That inebriates" can
be cured by careful and judicious treat
ment, is proven fact, as the records of
the Binghamton Asylum attest. And we
do not know why the principle that the
vice stamps itself as disease upon its
victim should not be recognized in law as
well as in charity. The result of the trial
in Illinois will be watched with interest

HirU>RY.--Aaron Henry Bigclow,
Esq, died in K9sciu-ko County, Indiana,
from lung fever, on the 9Th Of April last,
at the age Of 50 year, Mr. Bigelow was
the eldest son Of the Rev. Henry Rigclow,
who was the first settled minister Of the
Congregational Church in Mildletown.
He prepared for college AT Castleton
Seminary, aud graduated at Mildicbury
College in 1896. Among his classmates
Were Rev James Davie Butler, Calvin Il.
CAdy. John f. Claghorn. Calvin sheldon,
Zcbulon Jones and Samuel VI. Wood. He
studied law and was admitted 10 the bar
at Rutland in 1899 lie removed to
Fairfield County, Ohio. in 1910, and be-
came resident of Findlay in 1871. In
1864 he removed 10 Kosciusko County
where he continued to reside until his de-
cease. We believe Mt one time he was a
Judge of Probate while living in Ohio
For many years his hearing has been de-
fectivc, but il is a remarkable fact that a
short time previous to his death it re-
turned and became very acute.
His only brother, Philip Doideridge
Bigelow, died in Indiana but a few months
since. Mrs. Lorain Williams, of Oregon,
is the only survivor of a family of six
children, all of whom were well known in
this county in their earlier days

ugliness, being possessed of red hair, OBJ.
lique gray eyes, wide mouth, crowded
with enormous and irregular teeth. and a
skin so covered with freckles that its nat
ural completion had become undistin-
guishable.
more frightful contrast than the faces
OF these two is not to be imagined, and
yet they were brother ard sister. Their
family name was Cuyler, their baptismal
heaven pardon the sacrilege their
Christian-nay, that is worse-their given
names, Caroline and Charles, long since
changed in Starfsh parlance TO Carly and
Carrots. Carly did sewing for a slop-
shop, Carrots was newsboy, and at the
risk of being called romancer. we add
that these ayocations were not only actual.
but actually provided the scanty subsist-
ence Of the brother and sister. For lodg-
ings they inhabited corner Of loft, ac-
commodating also family Of Irish emf
grants.
"0h, just see there = exclaimed Carly,
who had not heard word either Of com
pliment or complaint, and who was now
bending forward, and pointing eagerly up
at the roof Of the opposite house. Mike
and Carrots. following her eyes, saw, but
failed 10 comprehend, the wonderful beau
~ that had thrilled through the hungry
heart Of the young girl.
The fat scuttle of the roof had been
thrown back for air, and in the aperture,
Ike an angel rising from the grave, APP
peared the face and head Of child as
heavenly in IFS beauty as Carly was NOR
tai In hers. Not a tinge Of color disturb
ed the transparent purity Of the skin, not
a.moyement broke the classic repose Of
the features. The eyes, raised adoringly
10 the sky, were blue and soft as that sky
on the morn Of tine day the hair, float
ing lightly upon the shoulders, was Of
pale gold, lighted to a glory 10y the last
rays Of The seeting sun. Two slender
hands were claspei in mute alteration upon
the breast, and so much as was to be seen
Of the figure was naked a man comes
into and goes from the world. Carly
looked as al a vision, holding her very
breath in admiration.
"WOt's that ] never seed any such
young un round the alley r exclaimed
Carrots at last.
"Blowed if don't believe its Sulli-
vans. That's his room, any way" ad-
ded Nike, who lodged IN the house under
discussion.
At this mo neilt dark and hairy arm,
terminating in a clawlike hand, slid swiftly
lp the child's white body, and twining
itself in the halo Of golden hair. The
sherubic vision suddenly disappeared and
from the window issued instead the sound
ii whistling blows and OF inaniculate lam
-ntatious.
