DRY EARTH SYSTEM!
For the Sewage of Towns, Factories,
Hospitals, Prisons, Hotels and
Private Houses.

A NPLE experience has shown the Dry Earth
"A System to be more efficient in preventing foul
smells, and far less costly in construction and re-
pairs than the Water Closet System; and that it is
in all respects entirely satisfactory whether the
SICK ROOM or for constant use.
The Earth Closet offers to all, in town and coun-
try, every benefit by the Water Closet at
far less cost, with the additional advantages, that 1t
is portable, and can be moved to the bedside in the
sickroom.
1t promises more in immunity from offensive
odors, from infection in disease, and in the saving
of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by
a single invention.
In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth res
ervoir self-contained, and movable pail takes
the place of the vault.
For use in Bed Rooms, Hospital Wards, Infirm-
ares &c, the Commode is invaluable. 1t is entire
ly free from those FAINT, depressing odors common
TO portable cat closets and night stools and through
its admission of the greatest miseres of human
life the foul smells of the sick and OF the
most frequent means of communicating infection,
may be entirely prevented.

WiNDHAM COUNTY AGRICULTURAL.
SocIETY.-The Windham County Agri
cultural Society have managed their af.
fairs so well that they have surplus on
hand sufficient to carry through one, it
not two, annual exhibitions without 9th.
er receipts. 1t is managed by the SUBJ
stantial farmers Of the County, the same
as they would manage their own bust
ness, and the result is financial success.
The same we believe is true of the State
Society, and well illustrates the conf
dence that may be safely reposed in the
judgment of that, by far the largest por-
ton of the community Of our State and
of the country. We learn that the So
ciety for this county have projected the
purchase of some fine blooded stock, to
be owned by the society, the object being
the improvement of stock in the county.
The matter will probably come up for
consideration at their next meeting in
February when we shall hear more about

This is the title Of new and valuable
book now being offered to the people of
this place and vicinity by Mrs. E. A.
Darby. The work is by Catherine E.
Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe
two names we'll calculated to give conf
dence to any book. The work treats of
ventilation, heating, furnishing. decora-
ton and general house keeping; care of
personal health, nursing the sick, articles
and convenences for the sick food and
drinks; economy of time and expenses;
management of children and servants;
accidents and antidotes, sewing, cutting
and mending; care Of parlors home
duties and amusements; hints on good
cooking, and in short the whole circle of
domestic economy. To all women who
have homes it presents very useful
thoughts on these and many more sub
lects, and we observe that it has already
received very high commentator from
several distinguished sources, and we
hope Mrs Darby will meet with success
in her canvass for it in this place. tits

The WALLINGFoRD SUIoIDE.-A mel
ancholy suicide occurred Satu day at a
small burgh called Centerville. The
facts, appear to be as follows:
In August, 1869, james S. Briggs
married one Clara B. Calvin, but it APP
pears that an occasional word had oc-
Cured, which was the case Saturday,
when Mrs. Briggs concluded to end her
earthly existence by taking strychnine.
Some time previous quantity of the
poison had been left at the house by
hunter, and Mrs Briggs seized the bot
tie and ate a piece the size of a pea
Immediately after, her husband being in
the cellar, she called him to see some
one who had called. Upon coming up
stairs he discovered something unusual
about his wife, as she staggered and said
stake the baby" He inquired of h er
what she had been doing, to which she
replied, "I'll tell you if you won't tell
any one" and then acknowledged that
she had taken poison. DIR. Hazen was 1t
once called, but to o late, as she had tax
en- such quantity Of the fatal drug as
to be past help.
She died in terrible agony in about FIVE
or eight minutes after the Doctors ar
rival. Her husband was only prevented
by main force from follow ing the exam
pie of his wife.
Another case came near proving fatal
a man present at the Tina drank some
cider from a tumbler from which Mrs.
Briggs had taken the fatal drought, but
was discovered in season for the Doctor to
administer the proper antidote and thus
saved his life.
Mrs. Briggs leaves young and sickly
child, some four or FIVE months old. Mrs.
Briggs was young, (1S years old) and it
is said was young lady of intelligence
and promise. Rutland Herald.
