CAMBRIDGE, n. Y.-Professor Chand.

very respectable and goodly-sized aud.
ienco in the Baptist church. His subject
was THE Relations between Natural and

able and interesting and Introductory to

future time.

festival at Ackley Hall-the first of the

Bowen is to be pardoned, though there is

of that state.

A Washington special says it is now

that the Commissioner Of Internal Rev

soon a5 the withdrawal was handed in it
was accepted by the President, and Gen. G.
A. Arthur of New York was shortly after
rendered the position. He expressed his
inability to serve, however, and it became
necessary TO make another selection. No

DANBY.-For some two weeks past the
subject of sewing machines, has been the
order of the day, and but very little else
has been heard talked of. Wheeler x
Wilson's agents, we believe came to town
first, and soon followed Elias Howes
agent, and of which J. w. Cook, Rutland
is the general agent. There had been
considerable strife in selling these ma
chimes. We are informed that thirteen OF
the Howe machines, and ten of the
Wheeler s. Wilson has been sold. They
are both good machines, and there ap-
peared to be no superiority of one over
the other Over million of purchasers of
the Wheeler & Wilson and an equal
number of the Howe machines, testify to
their popularity. We think before these
agents get through here, that the town
will be pretty well supplied with sewing
machines.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE "DEvIL's
FIDDLE."-The mission of the seventeen
year locusts has apparently been dis
covered. 1t having been ascertained that
these celebrated insects have not visited
the northwest for the purpose of devour-
ing the crops, as the farmers had antici,
pated, it came to be question what
under heaven they did come for. Some
light has been thrown upon this riddle
by Janesville paper, which states that
the ol.boys of that vicinity are wont
to derive much happiness from filling
their pockets with the tuneful locusts
and when school exercises are we'll under
way, at signal from the baton of theil
leader, tap their pockets simultaneously
causing the insects to join in a chorus
which entirely browns all other noises
within quarter of mile, and preclude
all other business while the concert j

sentative of the Cicadean family shall
thus serve to cheer the thorny pathwa,

TICoNDERoGA-We have received a
letter from law firm in Port Henry to
the effect that unless we apologize for or
retract an article which appeared in the
HERALD of April 18th, one of the parties
concerned will resort to the courts for his
protection. The article in question ran
as follows "Dr. M. J. Moore of Crown
Point Centre, it is reported, will take DIR.
Bailey's place. He is the individual who,
two years ago, applied to the National
Life Insurance Company of Philadelphia
for the position of Medical Examiner for
the company at Crown Point, and in con-
nection with DIR. W. P. Cannon attempt
ed to back his application with fraudu-
lent certificate of character, purporting to
be signed by one of our physicians here"
It was the National LifesInsurance Com
pany of the United States of America in.
stead of Philadelphia, as above stated.
The branch Office through which the trans
action leaked out was in Philadelphia,
which led to the slight error in the state
ment. In other respects we believe the
above quotation to be true. Whenever
the aggrieved parties can furnish satisfac-
tor evidence that such is not the fact, we
shall cheerfully give them the benefit of
proper acknowledgment.
DIR. George Shattuck of this town, a
recent graduate of the Medical Depart
ment of the University of Vermont, has
commenced the practice of medicine in con-
nection with DR.. Jones of Benson. The
doctor is literally educated and justly de-
serves the confidence of the people with
whom he is hereafter to be associated.
Prof. Carpenter, of Burlington, recently
said to us, "Mr. Shattuck is one of the
best students in our class Those who
know Dr. Carpenter will not ask for a
better testimonial.
The report we made of a poisoning
case, some time since, proved more serious
than we anticipated. 1t was intended
only as practical joke on drug clerk
for getting married but somehow the
printer made the affair worse than it
would have been by dropping off the last
sentence which was intended to explain
the dark portions of the story.

crossing finely. We shall try to say more

MORTALITY IN PARIs.-Dr. W. E
Johnson, well known American pbysi-
clan in Paris, stated that the reports OF
the mortality in that city have been much
exaggerated The sanitary condition Of
Paris is satisfactory and no epidemic pre-.

is more healthy than London in proper
ton to the population, and the death rat,
is not SO great as at the same time las

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THE CATTLE
DIsEAsE.-In order to prevent the intro

disease, now prevailing in Chilli and the
Argentine Republic. orders have been

70 enter United States ports from those
countries, unless accompanied by an in.
goice having the Consul's certificate that
he is satisfied that the importation is free
from disease.

The reasons for the advance are said to
be the smallness of the clip this year, and
last year the large demand and consump-
ton in Europe during the war, and the
fact that nearly all the mills have been
enabled to run this year, the supply OF
water being ample.
