among the invigoratpg and regulating medicines
of the present day. To the wants OF persons en-

peculiarly adapted. The nature of the ingre-

All these elements are blended in the Bitters;
nor are these the sum of its medicinal recon-

antispasmodic.
The baleful effect which air that has been par

superadded the mephitic yapor of hot air fur

among officinal or advertised medicines.

CONSUMPTION.

The Three Remedies, " Schenck's PulmoniC
SYRUP" for the cure of Coughs, Colas, Bronchitis
and every form of Consumption. The peculiar
action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the
matter by expectoration, purIties the blood, and
thus cures Consumption, when every other RENE
dy fails c. NJ, MI, 49,. =.
Dyspepsia or indigestion, and all diseases arising
from debility. This tonic invIgorates the digest

when that is deficient, and then enables tbePa-
tient to digest the most nutritious food. 1t Is a
sovereign remedy for all cases of indigestion.
''Schenck's Mandrake Pills. one of the most
valuable medicines ever discovered, being a veg
etable substitute for calomel, and having all the
useful properties ascribed to that mineral, with
out producing any of its injurious effects.
To those three medicines DR.. j. FL. SehGnck, Of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment OF Pulmonie Consumption. The Pui-
monte Syrup ripens the morbid matter, dis
charges 1t, and purites the blood. The Man
drake Pills act upon the liver, remove all OBJ
structions therefrom, give the organ healthy
tone, and cure Liver Complaint, which is one OF
the most prominent causes of Consumption. The
Seaweed Tonic invigorates the powers of the
stomach, and by strengthening the digestion and
bringing ii to a normal and healthy condition i'm
proves the quality of the blood, by which means
the formation of ulcers or tubercles in the lungs
becomes impossible. The combined action OF
these medicines, as thus explained, will cure
every case of consumption, if the remedies are
used in time, and the use of them is perseyered

Whereas in the death of Peter I. Wash
burn, the Governor of Vermont, another
comrade of the Grand Army of the Re-
public has fallen, therefore
Resol0ed, that in this bereavement our
ranks suffer an irreparable loss in thus
being deprived of the cooperation of our
distinguished comrade in the noble efforts
of our organization to keep alive the spirit
of loyalty, patriotism and fraternity that
characterized the army in the struggle for
national preservation.
ReSOl0ed, that we recognize in General
Washburn an example ofintegrity, ability
and patriotic devotion similar to that
which distinguished the Great War Sec
rotary, whose death has lately plunged
the Republic in mourning.
Res0lged, that we can best honor his
memory by enulating his example and
containing faithful in the work which
united us until death relieved him from
further duties on earth.
ResoIoed, that we deeply sympathize

their bereavement, and that we express
our sympathy by transmitting to them a

A PRACTICAL JOKE AND IT'S RESULT
The San Francisco Golden City relates
an amusing adventure which recently be-
fell resident of that city, whom they
call Jones for convenience sake He was
an eccentric individual, and his fellow
workmen in the mandatory where he
was employed sought to indulge in little
fun at his expense, and succeeded in get
ting letter mailed at New York adj
dressed to him, stating that, by the death
of distant relative in England, he had
fallen heir to the sum of $4,000, and that
solicitor. had come over to New York to
hunt him up. Jones received the letter,
and spoke of it in good faith to his fun
loving companions, who gravely urged
him to write to prominent lawyer in
New York, stating his case and asking
the legal gentleman to see about it.
Jones was foolish enough to take this ad-
vice. In due time-much to the astonish-
ment of his assooiatas-hs reooivod a gen
uine letter from the lawyer, who, by one
of the prettiest condolences in the world,
happened to be at that time engaged in
locking up person of exactly the same
name az our Mr.. Jones, who was entitled,
by the will of an English gentleman who
died few years ago, to the sum of not
$4,000 exactly, but the sum of e4500
sterling, or about 100000. Jones hap
pened to be the very man himself, and he
left his work in state of
high excitement, took trip to New York,
and had no difficulty in proving his iden-
tity and establis' ing his claim. He re-
turned to San Francisco few days since
with funds amounting to $4,000 (expens-
es having been deducted from the original
sum-, which might never have found him
but for the disposition of his comrades to
practical joking.

A FEARFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT
A fearful accident occurred about 4
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, to the
regular morning train on the Mississippi
Central Railroad for New Orleans The
train, leaving Humboldt behind time,
rapidly approached Buckner's trestle,
which is forty feet high and bridges a
ravine. The engine crossed safely, but
the remainder of the train ran off the
track, crushing the trestle and completely
wrecking the baggage, express and three
passenger cars. The cars crashed through
the trestle, or plunged into the ditch, and
every one of them was utterly destroyed.
The baggage, mail and express freight
was scattered on the sides of the ravine
into which the cars had fallen. The first
and second passenger cars were shattered
into pieces. The remaining passenger car
kept its place on the track, while its for
ward end rested on the wreck of the
second car in the ravine.
Seventeen persons were killed, includ-
ing two women, two children and three
colored persons. Among the killed was
Col. Speers, residing IA miles from Jack
son, who was returning from Chicago
with 80 laborers; 8. G. Moorhouse Of

FAMINE IN VIRGINIA.-The Norfolk
VIrginia1 publishes letter from Rev.
Andrew Broaddus of King and Queen
county, appealing for liberal and prompt
contributions for the relief of the people
in that section, many of whom are repre-
sented to be in "necessitous and suffer-
ing condition" The letter says that
severe drouth cut the crops short three
quarters in many cases, and terrible
hail storm added its destructiveness to
the misfortunes of the people. Houses,
fences and orchards in some places were
swept away, poultry and stock of all kinds
were killed, and the growing crops, in
Guiding vegetables, were utterly des-
troyed. Most of those who suffered from
this terrible visitation are persons of very
small means, whose only prospect even
for bread has thus been cut off.

few days since attention was called
to the unequal valuation of real estate in
the several counties. Since writing that
paragraph, the following article was writ
ten by correspondent Of the Brattleboro
Record, in which this matter is plainly
stated. We commend it to the considera-
ton of the people:
AS there is to be new valuation OF
Real Estate the present year, would
call your attention to its unequal valua-
ton through the State, taking the popu-
latien as basis, which is the only means
| have of determining the valuation be-
tween the different counties. 1 take Ad-
Olson as the basis, which is probably as
good county Of land as any in the State.
Its valuation of real estate for inhabitants
is $2.62, personal property 50. Benning-
ton real estate 1928, personal property
Az. Caledonia real estate $3.50, personal
property IS. Chittenden real estate
$3.50, personal property 70. Essex real
estate $2.01, personal property 81.
Franklin real estate $1.S1, personal prop
erty 40. Grand Isle real estate
$lS3, personal property A. La
noble real estate $1.S9, personal prop
erty 81. Orange real estate $214,
personal property SO. Orleans real estate
$500, personal property "a. Rutland
real estate $2,67, personal property 1,1S.
Washington real estate $2,12, personal
property 62. Windham real estate So. As,
personal property SO. Windsor real es-
tate 1888, personal property 80. The
average valuation of real estate is $2.19 (;
personal property 60 cents, which shows
Bennington, Orange, Orleans and Wash
ington near the average; Chittenden,
Franklin, Grand Isle and Lamoille much
below, while the other counties are much
above on real estate. In personal property,
Addison and Washington are near the
mean value, while Bennington, Essex,
Franklin, Grand Isle and Lamoille show
only about 81 per cent. or 80 per cent. too
low. Chittenden 90 per cent above, Cal
edonia, Windham and Windsor average
40 per cent. above, Rutland nearly 90 per
cent. above. All this may not be ex-
actly the difference in value, still it
shows too great a difference in assess
lug in the different counties for State
taxation. Allowing for all errors in
coming at the above figures, think Chit
tenden, Franklin, Grand Isle and La
noble much too low on real estate, and
Franklin, Grand Isle and Lamoille on
personal property, land Caledonia, Rutland,
Windham and Windsor too high on both.
! would, therefore, call the attention of
towns at the coming March meeting to
elect listers who shall take into consider
alton the rating of stock in the county so
Ms to make it equal with other parts of
the State, particularly the northwestern
countries, so as to equalize state taxes in
the State.-R. b. r. IN Brattleboro Record.

CHEAP FREIGHTs.- Boston Jour-
nal says: The lease of the Ogdensburg
Railroad by the Vermont Central is a
transaction that promises TO be of sub
stantial benefit to the city. The great
want of Boston has been cheap communi.
cation with the lakes. Unfortunately
there have been antagonisms in the man
agement of some of the railways COM
posing the great Northern line, that have
been preiudicial to the public good. New
York, by having the Hudson River, the
Harlem and Central lines under one man
agement, and by the Erie as well, has
been able to take portion of the West
ern trade which naturally would fall into
the hands of Boston merchants. Phila-
delphia, keeping sharp eye looking ever
toward the West, has recently stolen a
march on New York, and all the rest of
the country, by bringing the Pennsyl-
yania Central and the Fort Wayne under
one management 1t was high time,
therefore, for the only line having direct
communication with the st. Lawrence to
take such action as would enable it to
compete with the other great trunk lines
reaching westward.

the same time enable them to put their

The arrangement has been brought
about by Gov. j. Gregory Smith, Presi-
dent of the Vermont Central and Vermont

zeal and earnest effort the last obstacle to
harmonious action between the several
railroads composing this line has been re-
moved. If the result is what We have
good reason to hope it may be, Gov Smith
will deserve the thanks of all New Eng
land, and the West as well.
