WHERE, TO WEAR 6ARTRRs. couple
OF Philadelphia doctors have recently
united in the production of book treat
ing Of the preservation of personal
beauty. One of the points made therein
undertakes q reformation in a matter
which leg-itimately belongs to our lady
readers, and to them these learned doc
tors address themselves thus:
"A handsome leg is rarity, we had
almost said an impossibility, among
American women. The reason of this is
the place where they wear their garters.
No French woman nor English woman
OF cultivation nowadays, wears her gar
ter below. the knee. It is ruinous to the
shape OF the calf. More than this, it
has serious consequences of another
kind. The principal vein of the leg
(oena sapheaa breois) runs just beneath
the skin until it nearly reaches the knee,
when it sinks between the muscles.
Now, if this is restricted at its largest
part by tight garter, the blood is
checked in its return to the heart, the
feet are easily chilled, and more liable to
disease, the other veins of the leg are
swollen into hard blue knots, become
varicose, as it is called, and often break,
forming obstinate ulcers. This is o pic
ture which physician sees nearly every
day. With garter fastened above the
knee, all this pain and deformity is
avoided, but it is still better to wear no
garter at all, and suspend the stocking
by tapes to q belt, around the waist. In
this case, however, q well-fitting stock
ing is needed.

A Coon THIEa on PEBLEY Mr.. d.
W. Perley, a gentleman learned in the
law. and presumed to have every State
statute and city ordinance at the end of
his tongue. fell into a legal corner yes
terday at Shermantown. He was mount
ed on a spirited charger, and riding
through the Main street, when n sudden
rain storm came down. In order 20 Sc
cure temporary shelter from the weather,
he rode his horse on the sidewalk, and
sought refuge from the fall of water nm
der an hospitable awning. The consta-
bles Of Shermantown were evidently ON
the qui riue for something to turn up,
and such an opportunity to make a piece
out of a Hamilton capitalist was not to
be overlooked. They ponnced on the
attorney like a fy-nipper on a June-bus,
and in less time than it takes bar-room
poison TO operate, had the offending
worshipper at the shrine Of Astra before
Squire Swasey for violation Of ordinance
No; 1885, prohibiting equestrians from
making a public road of the city side
walks. We have not learned whether
Mr. Perley was mulcted in a fine of ex-
empiary magnitude, bnt from the fact
tnat nc appeal has yet been taken, and
also from the circumstance that he had
pocket-money enough left TO do the
amiable to the crowd Immediately after
wards, we conclude that Judge Swasey
exercised a sound judicial discretion, and
thus saved Shermantown from a tedious
and costly appeal case, which might
have gone into the books alongside of
'arndyce vs.. Jarndyce.

The Vermont and New Hampshire
Controversy.

E.rtract from the Centennial address, at
the Centennial Festival. held at AcW0rM,
N. H., 18Th Sept. 1868.
times we recall, the people of Acworth
and vicinity at one time did not know in
what State they owed allegiance.
New York laid claim to Vermont y \
\ x at one time project was on foot to
organize State to be composed of towns
on both sides of the Connecticut River,
and to be called New Connecticut New
Hampshire resisted the movement, etc.
These controversies at one time serious
ly threatened the public peace. A Ver-
mont constable attempted to arrest debtor
on the east side of the river. The owner
of the house where the debtor was found
resisted. The householder, with one in
his company, was imprisoned in Charles
town Jail. A New Hampshire sheriff at
tempting to release them, was imprisoned
by Vermont sheriff. The militia of
New Hampshire was called out to liber-
ate him; and the Governor of Vermont
threatened to oppose force to force The
Vermont sheriff, with others, went as
committee from the Governor of Vermont
to the Governor of New Hampshire, to
agree on measures to prevent hostilities..
He was arrested at Exeter, and thrown
into Jail, as hostage for the New Hamp-
shire sheriff. A proclamation from the
Governor called upon the revolted towns
to return to their allegiance within forty
days. The militia were ordered to be in
readiness to march against the revolters.
Civil war was only avoided by letter
from Gen. Washington to Gov Chitten-
den of Vermont, advising relinquish-
ment Of the jurisdiction claimed east of
the river, and intimating that non-com-
