Hon Charles Hale, long editor Of the Boston
-qfreriiser, and FOR some years past our Consul
General to Egypt has been nominated by the
Republicans Of Wards -Four and Five. Boston,
for the Massachusetts, Senate lie made Al able
legislator and most accomplished Speaker OF the
House some few years since.
Colonel Walter B. Price has been nominated
| by the Democrats Of tie over the lake district
for the Senate Colonel Price is rich di.tiller
Of New York, and thorough Tsmmsny man.
He built him splendid residence on the west
side of Lake George this season, and will turn
out his money like water for his election, but
! from what we can hear, the Republican nominee,
| Samuel Ames, Of Keeseville, will lay him out
handsomely. The voters Of the Sixteenth Dis
trict are too honest to send to the Senate any Of
Tammsuy's servitors.
The Indianapolis Journal describes General
Frank Blair as " a sort of cheap Jack who
bowls out his penny wares over the foot board Of
his cart, and is ready to raise laugh or quar-

Senator Carl Schurz never said a truer thing
than this from his recent speech st Louisville !:

SCIENTIFIC TESTIMONY - The Bellows Falls
Times has the annexed report of highly i'm
portsnt case just tried at the adjourned term of
the windhsm County Court. DR.. Pangloss could
never have equalled the plaintiff in the redun-
dancy of the language of his testimony:
Norman Webster vs.. Halifax. Action on the
case for damages sustained by reason of the in
suficiency of bridge in Halifax. In June
1870, the plaintiff was upset upon said bridge
and thrown into the stream with his horses aud
carriage Plaintiffs testimony tended to show
that his scapulsrins was forced against the trs-
pezium, his glenoid muscle was displaced from
the deltoid cavity, thereby smashing his diagno-
sis, injuring his superintendent, sssimulat;ng
his super-spinatus, and elongating his cspsulsr
ligament In plain English (which we didn't
hear much Of in the trisl) the plaintiff claimed
that he was badly bumped and injured by the
accident. DEFENDANTS testimony tended to show
that plaintiff greatly exaggerated his injuries for
the purpose of obtaining big verdict. Verdict
for plaintiff, S2.lS8.50. Col. Kit. Hsskins
and Hon. C. B. Eddy for plaintiff Charles

THE NUTaITIvE VALUE OF MILF.


DIR. Oliver G. Wiggin, of Provi-
sdence, r. l., bears the following testi-
,mony to the value of milk rr

pared with other kinds of animal food,

posed The quantity of water in a
good quality of milk is Sc per cent,
in round steak rs per cent, in fatter
beet 90 per cent, in eggs about SO per
cent From, several analyses made
last .wintcr.I estimated sirloin steak
(reckoning loss from .bone) at 25 cents
q pound, as dear as milk at "a cents a
quart; round steak, at 20 cents a
pound, as dear rs milk at IA cents a
quart; eggs at 30 cents a dozen, as dear
as milk at 20 cents a quart. Many la
borers who pay AZ cents for corned
beef would consider themselves hard
ly able to pay 10cents for milk, when,
in; fact, they. could as well afford to
pay ID cents. Milk is most whole
some and economical food, for, either
the, rich or poor. 1t ought to be more
largely used. If the money expend-
ed for yea, and pork were expended
for milk, / doubt. not il would be an
advantage both to the stomach and
pocket, especially, during the. warm
season. Relatively speaking, then,
milk at 10 cents, or even u cents a
quart, is the cheapest animal food that
can be used, Whether farmers can
afford to produce it cheaper is a mat
ter for them to decide. 1t is very
probable that were they to ask u
cents, a very large number of poor
people would refrain from its use
from mistaken notions of economy,
notwithstanding they were excessive
meat eaters.
