be of interest to your readers, send il

in our contribution to aid in suppressing

Vermont in the ring, to go down and
help to string them up with rope made
from Kentucky hemp, twenty feet from

scanps and consummate villains. But to
the statistics. A joint resolution was
passed by the Legislature at its session
in 1867, directing the State Treasurer to
procure the Indebtedness of the towns

same in the General Assembly.
The towns complied with the terms OF
the resolution, and the following state

THE FATTEsT Cow YET.-The palm
for fat cows must, we think, be awarded
to Mr.. Benz. Arbuckle of Berlin. Satur.
day last he sold to R. 81. Whittier Of this
village COW weighing 1920 pounds alive,
which dressed off 1870 pounds. and had
l AZ pounds of rough tallow. OF course
the COW was as large as good sized OK,
OF fine form, fat as a cub, and as she was
led through the streets was the observed
OF all observers, who had any eve to pros
pectlve steaks and roasts from Whittier's
market. We learn that the price paid for
this cow was SIP. As there have been
many inquiries how it was possible to
make such fat beef out of an ordinarymilcb
cow, we have prevailed upon Mr.. Arbuckle
10 give us the naOdus operdndi for the
benefit OF our farmers and breeders. The
COW was eight years old, and has the past
year been MIXED daily even up to the
day che was slaughtered. Last October
Mr. Arbuckle began feeding the COW twice
each day with four quarts of dry meal.
On the second day he noticed the COW did
not eat all the meal He thereupon boiled
some ten quarts of potatoes, poured off the
water, put in peck of meal and a little
salt and thoroughly mixed the whole
while hot, adding enough hot water to
fully scald and moisten the meal, one
half OF this being fed warm, morning and
night of each day. This, with plenty of
good hay, was the daily feed of the COW
I'LL che was fit for the shambles, and had
size and fairness that has not |
been e1celled by any COW fatted in this

whose deeds strike terror
Whereas, Our brother, John @. Dickinson,
actuated by the spirit that animates all true
heroes, in full discharge of his duties and in full
strength and power, met his death at the hands
of that most despicable foe of humanity, Ku-

Resolved, That in the death Of our Iamented
brother this order lost one of its strongest friends
and dearest members.
Resolved, That while his death casts gloom
over our whole order, to the members of this
Alpha the grief is most poignant and personal.
ReS0lged, That we, the members of this Alpha,
9th alumni and students, tender to the friends
of the deceased our most heartfelt sympathy and
sorrow. Feeling that we have alike a common
grief. That We both miss the pleasant smile and
kind word. That we both mourn brother.
ReSOtGed, That this Alpha wear proper badge
OF mourning in memory of the departed, and
humbly bow to the infinite wisdom of 81 i'm whose
ways no man can order.
PeSo1ged, That copy of these resolutions be
forwarded to the friends of the deceased, and
copies be placed for publication in the Middle
