through and was somewhat injured
Since that time new bridge has been

to proceed, and all attemps on the part Of
the driver to compel her to cross were fu-
tile, and it became necessary to take her
around, some five miles, over another
bridge, causing so much of delay that
she reached Brandon barely in time for
the afternoon exhibition.

| TAKING THE CENsUs.-It seems from
the experience of some of the assistant
Census Marshals, that all times are not
favorable for eliciting answers to the
questions which the Census Bureau has
prepared for the purpose of obtaining the
information to be used in compiling sta
tistics of the population, wealth, ETC., OF
| the country.
One of these, deputies in the discharge
of his duties had occasion to visit that
part of the town of Shrewsbury rendered
memorable by the murder of John Gill
man jr, and madettstill more notorious by
the feuds, quarrels and fights between the
Plumley and Balch factions or clans.
The party called on had been an active
participant in these fights, but his former
opponents having been disposed of by the
stern arm of the law, had, for the purpose,
we suppose, of keeping his hand in, just
been practicing on his wife and family,
when he received a call from the deputy
United States Marshal Mr.. Deputy
Marshal proceeded to put the customary
questions, when instead of the expected,
or perhaps usual answer, he was told to
take himself away the Marshal attempt
led to demonstrate, whereupon Mr.. in
dividual seized a stick, or some other inn
plement, and approached the Deputy who
made his retreat in double quick time
pursued by the belligerent individual
aforesaid, the Deputy however succeeded
in making good his escape, and has, as we
understand, reported the matter to
Washington for instructions. His advice
to Deputy Marshalls would probably be
never to undertake to take the census of
family Immediately after the husband
had chastised the wife.

RED CLOUD A PEACE MAKER.-
Evidence in favor of the efficiency of Red
Cloud as an Indian Peace Commissioner
multiplies with great rapidity. That
once belligerent chief is promoting a
peaceful feeling among the warlike Sioux,
and will try his powers of moral suasion
upon the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes.
Whsn he has soothed all these warlike
tribes by convincing them of the advant-
ages Of peace, Red Cloud should bo sent
as an agent of peace to the troublesome
Apachees of Arizona and aggressive
Comanchees of Texas. With the aid OF
this remarkable old chieftain we may
within very short time solve the Indian
problem in a manner oonsonant with the
religion and civilization of the nineteenth
century

The wheat crop is now mostly secured
In excellent order throushout the coun.
try, and thero is every reason to expect q
much better quality for the coming season
than we have had for the past.
The quantity Of the different kinds Of
grain may be summed up as follows
White Wheat, about two-thirds as much
as last year sppng Whest, not SO much
as last year, but about the average of for
mer years; Corn, the largest crop ever
known; Oats, short crop; Rye, an aver
age crop.
In the absence of any unusual demand
from abroad, there would be but little
reason to expect any material advance
during the first half of the new year, af
ter which it is possible that the scarcity
may be felt, more particularly in White
Wheat and Oats; but as all kinds O.
breadstuffs are now, and probably fo
some time will be, governed moro or les
by the War between Frsaoe sad Prussia
prices are liable to change ss any time
and all dealers, both buyers and sellers
agree in the opinion that no prediction
oan safely be made.

WATER AS A DIsINFECTANT.-Th
disinfecting power of water has been re-
ceiving considerable attention of late.
With the exception of charcoal, it is said
that no other substance is so perfect an
absorbent of odors. 1t absorbs its own
volume of some gases, and mora than 600
times its volume of others. For instance,
its ammonia gas, which is one of the
largest products of decomposition, go
cubic feet is absorbed by one of water.
Another offensive odor, always present
where animal matter is decaying, arises
from sulphide of hydrogen. Water ab-
sorbs two and half times it's own vol
Uzne of this. These facts are worthy of
remembrance and practical attention. A
quantity of water placed in an open YES
sci in sick room, and changed often,
makes an excellent disinfectant.

WEST D.-Improvements con
tinue to be made in this vicinity which
add materially to the appearance anc
business aspect of the place. A sidewalk
of marble slabs is being laid the whole
length of the principal street, which
when completed will allow our numerou:
gay promenaders an opportunity to enjoy
public admiration, the beautiful moon,
and the breezy evening air without being
precipitated into unknown depths whose
savory meshes formerly received the un.
wary pedestrian.
Mrs. NJ. A. Howard has improved hel
prominent store building by fresh coat
of paint, thus generously following in the
march of improvement. The costly glass
front of this building suffered materially
from its near proximity to the enthusias
tic burners of powder on the Fourth
Damages have been claimed and promptly
paid.
On the hill, east of the quarries, the
Rutland Marble Company have erected 8
row of fine tenement houses to be occu.
pied by families, now living in tenements
in dangerous prixomity to newly opened
quarries. Great credit is due to the com.
pany for their generous appropriation Of
this pleasant locality and the substantial
manner in which these homes of the labor.

bining as they do convenience, healthy
situation and comfort, appliances which
go far toward ameliorating the condition
of the weary sons of toll.
Several Irishmen long residents here
have lately purchased lots and are now
erecting substantial houses upon them.
Among these we notice fine dwelling on
Pleasant street, owned by Mr.. Maloney
another further north on the same street,
owned by Mr.. Tigue and one in course OF
construction on Mr.. Peter Gaffeney's
pleasantly located lot between the Catho-
lie Church and school house.
