Pare Intoxicating Liquors.

Communication from REV. W. W. ATwArER.I
Very much has been said in the past
few years concerning drugged or impure
spirituous liquors, and many have been
deluded by the supposition that if all
such liquors were as pure now as in for
mer times, they would be harmless. Such
persons evidently forget that when spir-
ituous liquor is as pure as it can be made,
it contains certain poison, infinitely
more mischievous than all the drugs with
which such liquors have been compounded
in modern times, namely, alchohol. 1t is
this-not the other poisons or drugs
which makes men drunk. 1t is this which
stimulates to deeds of violence and des-
peration; and the worst fighting whis-
key" is not that which contains the most
prussic acid, or the most henbane, or to-
bacco juice, or other Supplying drugs
and less Per cent. of alcohol, but that

Sir Walter Scott relates in his auto
biography, that when he was child, one
of his legs was paralyzed, and that when
medical skill failed, kind uncle induced
him to exert the muscles of the powerless
limb by drawing gold watch before him
on the floor, tempting him to creep after
1t, and thus keeping up and gradually
increasing vital action and muscular force.
So God deals with us in our spiritual
childhood and the weakness of our faith.
He holds the blessing before us, so as to
tempt US to creep after it. How weak
our efforts; how slow our movements |!
But spiritual vitality is elected, devel-
oped, strengthened, by these efforts and
movements, slow and weak as they are.

CHEsTER.-The earthquake, Thursday,
consisting of one shock only, and lasting
but about 90 seconds, created quite a
panic here. Door bells rang, crockery
danced and the buildings themselves
shook. In some instances people looked
as though they were in hurry to ''settle
up" Scholars in the Academy made a
rush for the street, and LIE Irenaelo was
master of the situation. L should think,
from some experience with the article,
this earthquake would rate in California
about second class.

| ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY.-Alanson A.
Stoddard, formerly a resident of North
Granville, n. Y, where be has family,
was arrested while attending church in a
small town some five miles from Worces-
ter, Mass, by an officer from Litchfeld,
Conn, where said Stoddard had, in July
last, married an estimable young lady I'M
der the assumed name of A. A. Smith,
telling her that his wife in Granville, n
Y, died in 1869.
Alanson A. Stoddard, alias Smith, is
now in Litchfeld Jail, awaiting trial.
CAsTLEToN.-C G. A Barker, who ia
about leaving for Alabama, has sold his
real estate on the street leading to East
Hubbardton, to his brother, A. w. Bar
ker, for thirty three hundred dollars. He
will take possession the 1st of November.
The livery barn connected with the
old Westover hotel for the last thirty
years, is now owned by Batchelder, and
is vending it's way on runners through
Main street, to the rear of the Bomoseen
House on Depot street, where it will here
after be located as one of the fixtures Of
the last named house.
The E st Poultney band, of 10 or Is
pieces, were guests of the Bomoseen
House, few evenings since. After sup
per they serenaded the different residents,
not forgetting the Seminarians. The even
ing was pleasant and the music good.
Three men were riding through Main
street last Saturday night, and had ar
rived opposite the hotel, when one of the
thills fell to the ground, the other re-
naming in its place, causing the wagon
to sway in every direction, the horse in
the meanwhile running with great speed,
precipitating the men heldlong to the
ground. One of them, an old gentleman
named Thayer, was quite seriously hurt.

Barnum Sanford, Esq, a native of
CAstleton, and resident here until he
was about fifty years of age, recently died
in Ohio after a residence there of nearly
twenty years. He was an intelligent and
successful farmer and accumulated quite
large property.
We hope and trust that the members
of the Legislature from this county and
congressional district will see to it that
eur Normal School will not be removed
from Castleton at present. We believe
it's location and arrangements are as COM
plete as need be, and that in due time it
will prove a success. Gentlemen of the
Board of Education please don't urge its
removal from here, before a fair trial has
been made of the present system.

LARGEST AVERAGE.

A good average play at firemen's mus
ters is 165 feet, and yet at this muster
where 16 engine companies were Compel
ing they exceeded these figures 10 feet,
their average being 1T feet. Altho' our
own company did not take the first prize,
yet they need not be ashamed of their
play which exceeded the average by "a
feet, under very disadvantageous circum-
stances, the rain falling in torrents at the
time of playing. On the contrary the
winning company was favored with lull
in the storm which together with their
larger number of men, no doubt added
materially TO the length of their stream,
which was longer than ever made before

Carrier Pigeons at Sea--The Steamer
City Of Boston.

When the probable loss Of the Inman
steamship City Of Boston was first suggested
in the newspapers, on account Of her non
arrival at Liverpool, some one in this coun.
try proposed the employment Of carrier
pigeons as sea messengers Of distress. A
prominent London Journal devotes long
article to this proposition, and urges that .
test of its praeicability be made. II
It ls certain, or even only probable, thai
had there been suitably trained carrier
pigeons on the City of Boston, we should
now know the story Of her fate, the fact is
one Of no slight interest and importance
