The frozen we'll mt Brandon, VI. has
recently been the subject Of q report by
a committee of the Boston Society OF
Natural History. Twelve wears ago the
attention Of the Society was called to
this curious well which remains frozen
throughout I'll summer months, ana a
committee was appointed, which con
tinued each year for SIX years, to visit
and examine the well and the surround
ingenuity. Areport was thenmade and
published. but j., consequence Of the
predictions Of an eminent MIN of SCI
ence thai re ice would soon cease to
form in the Brandon well, it became
necessary to wal5 q few years to collect
further facts. Tie committee now re-
ports that for twelve years the ice has
rem med in the Brandon well during
the not months Of summer, nOtwith-
standing openings We're made in the
soil, and tunnel was run into the
gravel bed to give more free access to
the warm surface water.
It has been sugSo-to,i thct tirv water
aIssolyes something from the rocks
that makes it q freezing mixture, but {
chemical analysis shows that one wine
gallon Of this fluid contains 25.2 grains
OF solid matter, receivable into SIS
grains Of vegetable matter, and 1874
grains Of mineral salts. OF the solid
matter, 2.8 grains was found to be com
posed of bi-carbonate of lime, magnesia
and iron, and sulphate of soda with
traces OF chloride of calcium and So
dunn. There is, therefore, nothing in
the composition of the water which
will explain the freezing. Other per
sons, arguing from the theory that ell
ectricity produces hail, have assigned
the action of the same influence as the
cause of the frozen we'll
Repeated tests with the magnetic
needle failed to disclose any difference
in local variation, thus showing that no
perceptibIe electric current was passing
through the well or surrounding SOL.
The original explanation is therefore
adhered to by the mmittee. The
gravel bed, it is believed, was frozen
by the cold of previous rigorous win
tiers, and the wave of summer heat has
not yet been able to overcome that
cold Brandon is situated in Rutland
county, Vermont, and has the same lat
itude as the northern part OF Lake
George.

Graph concerning tie establishment OF

ested in the progress OF education
among the masses:
Before the Goth Of September, 1870,
tbayo was not one municipal school IN

nnder ecclesiastical direction. What
fine character of the instructions given
there was may be inferred from the
condition of the people, and the gen
oral ASPECT of the country. The local
authorities, at the instigation, OF
course. Of the Government, have done
nuch In twelve months to supply the
GREAT want OF the people, Already
there have been formed fourteen gratu-
itous schools for the elementary i'll
gtruction Of boys. These are day
schools, and about 2,304 pupils attend
them. There are also eight evening
schools for the same sex, attended by
1876 pupils. Eight day schools and
nine Sunday-s"hools (for secular In
struction) have been opened for girls.
who attend them to the number OF
.1,440. A rural day and evening school,
also, has been formed, and day and
evening schools of design for males,
and day and evening schools Of design
for girls. In all, through the efforts OF
the municipality, 6,161 young Romans
are now provided with good elementary
instruction, and, what is better, are
rescued from the depressing and de

The WOMAN who $aed Br CHAM Young.

Among the kilograms in yesterday
mornings Gazette was one announcing
that Mrs. Sarah i. Cook, OF Salt Lake
City,ha sued Brigham Young for S10,-
coo, which was deposited with for her
benefit years ago, and at the time when
her husband met a violent death. Ehe
lady was once res. mt Of Davenport
Several ladies in this city who are now
wives and mothers viii remember her
very well. She lived here in 1848 and
1919
She was a music teacher in this city

Mr.. Cook became sheriff in due time,
and was killed while attempting to ar
rest noted criminal in the streets Of
Salt Lake City. There was great ex-
element over this violent death the
murderer was hung by mob, and the
citizens raised $4,000 in gold for the
benefit of the widow and her family.
The sum was placed in the hands OF
Brigham Young for investment. The
old bigamist gave out that it was in
vested in certain real estate IN Salt
Lake City; but few years after, when
Mrs. Cook endeavored to sell some of
the lots which were pointed out as part
of the Investment, she discovered that
the title was not in her name,
nor in righam's, but it was all in the
Mormon church She was told the

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAW.
New Movement OF tie Anti-Suftr.se 3
Women.

New Movement OF tie Anti-SoftraSe
Women.
A rather remarkable movement has
been put on foot in Washington by
Mrs. Admiral Dahlgren, Mrs. General
Sherman and the other ladies who are
taking an active part in opposing wom-
ans suffrage, the scheme being nothing
less than to completely outflank the
sufragists OF the Tllton Woodruff
school. These ladies do not believe
that the Constitution, as 1t now lands,
gives the women the right to vote, ana
they are determined to deprive the
others Of their so-called Sixteenth
Amendment by occupying the ground
themselves with an amendment proVld-
ing for & uniform system of divorce.
Their principal argument Ill favor OF
this new measure is that If
the courts in other states are
vorces as valid, though they are
generally obtained by fraud, the
tribunals of that State virtually absorb
the whole divorce business of the coun-
try and imperil the property and marital
rights of every woman from Maine to
California. This, they think, makes
the question one OF such national I'M
| portance as to require the interference
of Congress, under constitutional safe
guards and they desire the conStltu-
tional provision they are seeking TO be
called the "Sixteenth Amendment. !"
I'They are going to work like real high
! born ladies TO encompass their ends,
and design having the measure first in
! trOduced into the Senate rather than
| the House, since the former Is q body
of much more decorum and dignity
than the latter. What is more, Mr..
/ Irumbull is to be asked to take charge
of the amendment, both as Chairman
of the Judiciary Committee, and "a the
purest and best of the Senators Of
tbe United States. 1t is believed
mat this measure will secure for Amer
lean women all the rights they care to
exercise in public affairs, and save
them from the wrongs OF such ernl-
cious legislation as IS the disgrace Of
Indiana. The flank movement Of the
sutfragists by appropriatiDg their 1ay-
Orite amendment, is regarded as good
stroke, and one that VIII put at rest the
agitation Of question which a Few am
bilious women. by driving It's best
friends into obscurity, have made dis
reputable. It's not intended 10 make the
amendment too radical, and it is only
feared that it may be defeated by tha
promoters of so-called reform overload
ing and killing it. A lively Sc immage
among the female politicians is OK
pected, and the movement cannot faji
to add new features to that remarks BE

A Wife larred and Feathered by Her
Husband.

The Troy Press of Wednesday says:
The name Of George Brace and the
record of his family squabbles have of
found prominence in our local police
courts. Recently George Brace, with
his wife, has been living in Union
street, West Troy, and we have had a
lull in the news from this inter, ting
family. The troubles, however, have
continued in the Brace household, and
eliminated yesterday morning in a
gross outrage. Brace charges that
his wife is not true to him,
and as fitting punishment, he
arose early yesterday morning, and
while she slept, he scissored all the
hair from her head, procured pint of
tar and some feathers, and applied it to
the shaved poll. Awakening from her
sleep, Hrs. Brace found herself all be-
smeared with the sticking mass, and
after liberal application of soap and
water, had the husband arrested. He
acknowledged his guilt, and handing
the scissors to the Justice exclaimed :
''Ther2, give these scissor to that old
- when she comes down !" Brace
was admitted to bail yesterday, and
will shortly be tried on the charge.

From the Ny. Sun.

The case Of Joshua D. Miner. who
was arrested by Col. Whittoy's officers
with counterfeit bank plates in his
possession, still hangs irain the United
States Courts. Minar is millionaire.
ana It is SAID that he is never to be
tIied. The case was to have been
placed on the calendar on Wednes-
day, bat nothing was done
about it. Yesterday District
Attorney Davis obtained a further adj
joinment on the ground that he was not
ready to reply to the motion of Miner S
counsel to have the case laid over until
the next term OF the Court. Every
part Of the country has been flooded
with notes printed from the plates
found with Miner. He was arrested a
year ago with counterfeit twenty-doI-
lar plate on the Shoe and Leather
Bank Of this city in his hands Like
Blatchford, the drawback thief, he is
too wealthy to be tried.
