How to Die Elegantly for Nothing.

The most amusing confidence game that
modern ingenuity and desperation ever
invented was recently played off in Eng
land, by an elderly gentleman, who had
run out his property, and had no real re-
source left for the elegant support that
his nature crayed. Having the reputs-
tion still of being rich man, be made
his will, distributing generous sums
around among his friends and relatives,
and giving large bequests to benevolent
societies. Thereupop, taking care that
his liberal intentions should be known,
he came into great favor with the afore-
said friends and relatives, and the order
of philanthropists, and lived around at
their houses, a welcome guest, even con-
descending to die at one of these free
homes. A funeral, fitting the great ex-
pectations, was provided for him, and
then the will opened. This turned out
according to promise. But when the
estate came to be administered upop, it
was totally minus. The man had Lot q
spare pound in the world.

A CURIosITY.-The interesting process
of the artificial metamorphosis Of but
terfy from the chrysalis state has lately
been accomplished by Mr.. William
Hinckley of this village. In February
last Mr.. Hinckley discovered large CO.
coon attached to a twig, and carefully
securing it he took it to his house and
hung it up in room where it would be
exposed to moderate heat, being curious
to try the effect of artificial means in de-
veloping the larva, A day or two since,
the cocoon opened, and there emerged q
most magnificent specimen of butterfly OF
the species called the moth king. It is OF
very large size, the wings spreading about
five inches, while the colors are curiously
variegated and remarkably brilliant. The
body of the insect is striped with alter
nate rings of scarlet and white, while on
each of the four wings there is beauti.
full concentric arrangement of colers simi.
lar to the peacock. 1t forms a very in
teresting chronological curiosity and ID
to be put in form for preservation.

Our village was never looking more
cheerful and prosperous than at present.
The opening and completion of new
streets, the new buildings springing up
in every part of this village, the improve
ments constantly going on, and the new
impulse given to business promise well
for the future of our village. But while
citizens take natural pride in all that
pertains to the growth and prosperity of
town, they should not forget that capi-
tai and enterprise are not all that is ne
cessary to make town pleasant. There
is much entering into the character of
every town, aside from, it's commercial
importance, or it's moral or social institu-
tions, that determines whether it be
pleasant and attractive, or otherwise.
This depends much upon the order, neat
ness and good taste of it's citizens, which
fnds expression in clean, pleasant streets,
and in the beautiful and attractive sur
roundings of their homes. Every home
gives its own peculiar expression of
character, indicating order, neatness,
beauty aud progress, or carelessness, vul-
garity and degradation. And as every
citizens helps to make up the character
and reputation of his town in this respect
those who do not build or expend capital
in business enterprise should keep their
premises in the best possible condition.
Many stately residence looks cold and
forbidding for the want of care and good
taste, while many homes of moderate pre-
tensions are more beautiful and attractive
by their tastefully arranged walks, shrub
berry and flowers. While capital and en-
terprise will make large town, individ-
ual regard for the good appearance Of
their dwellings and surroundings, is
necessary for beautiful one.

Startling Facts.

/. From the most charitable calculation
based on facts, there ara in Vermont,
twenty-eight hundred drunkards. By
drunkards, we mean, such as are drunk
nearly every day-some once week-or
more or less frequently, and by drunk we
mean, to be under the influence OF liquor,
SO as to reel, stagger, and sometimes fall,
v0mit and sleep-the drunkard's sleep.
The manliness of man, overcome. What
thought What sight +! Equal to
three regiments ; all drunk Now my
friends, before you doubt and deny this
calculation, call to mind the number in
your town, and you will be convinced,
though surprised and panied.
2. Hard drinkers drinking habitual2y
once, twice, and up to four or six times a
day, thirteen thousand five hundred, and
all of this number, give evidence OF their
abnormal habits and condition in their
eyes, breath, flesh, countenances and as
sociations. Who would have believed
that 80 large company now respected in
society could have been SO near the drunk
ards condition and doom? But such is
the destiny of this vast army Of respec-
table drinkers, just so certainly as they
live, unless they reform. Before denying
this calculation, carefully call to mind
many who have died recently, OF the
varied fruits of intemperance.
3. The number of occasional polite
drinkers is over twenty-four thousand.
Now, may it not be expected that soon
the polite drinkers will be among the i'm
moderate ones2 Does not the rule Of pro-
gress apply most fearfully to this habit
and such classes of persons
We have, then, forty-four thousand
three hundred drinkers of Intoxicating
liquors. beyond any doubt, and the num-
Der, could all the facts be known would
be fearfully enlarged. But few women
are found in these numbers. They are
the husbands, fathers and grown sons of
the State.
Alarming facts, certainly, if drunken
ness is a social, moral, and politisl evil,
what can be done?

A RUTLAND FIRE IN 1S33.-In an old
paper we find the following account of a
fire in Rutland, from which it will be
seen that the writer had political bias
against the Masons &. g.. --ra
"On Saturday, May 11tb, 1888, (thirty-
eight years ago the present month"; a fire
occurred in Rutland which destroyed the
Masonic Hall, together with much of the
furniture. In the hustle and confusion
the High Priests cap was dropped and
trampled in the mud. However, as the
motto, (Holinness to the Lordl, happened
to be uppermost, it was pulled out after
the fire was extinguished, cleaned and
laid up for future use The building in
which the Masonic Hall was located was
owned by Mr.. Benjamin Fay, and we are
sorry to say that his loss will be consider.
able What is most singular about the
fire is that the flames were subdued after
the burning of the garret and second
story, which contained the Masonic Hall.
This, we think singular, indeed, as the
building was frame building, and the
fire had made considerable headwsy
when discovered"
This paper, it is judged from the tone of
the above paragraph, must have been
slightly anti Masonic in its proelivit;ss.

policy the settlement has commenced

polley the settlement has commenced
with some activity and promise.
To what extent the mineral resources
of the fertile Laurentine belt render that
section capable of giving life to indus
try and support to population, it is inn
possible to say. just enough has been
discovered to give indications that the
mineral deposits within and on the out
skirts of the range may prove to be quite
"a important element of the wealth of the
Canadas. Both iron and lead mines have
been opened and worked to some extent
north of Kingston very valuable deposits
of plumbaeo have, within year, been
found and opened gold is extensively in
dicated throughout wide region in both
provinces, and more will probably be
found in profitable quantities. An excel
lent marble is already being quarried, and
the copper mines on the north shore Of
Lake Superior are unquestionably of great
future value, and recent developments go
to show that the same region is remark
ably rich in silver. Taking all these facts
into consideration, it may be assumed that
the productive and habitable territory of
the Canadas is not confined to their till
able lands. a.
Having considered the population, re-
sources and capabilities of the Dominion
of Canada, at some future time, it may be
of interest to consider the comparative
area and population in comparison with
New England, and the causes that have
retarded the growth of Canada hitherto
as desirable information in forming opin-
ions upon the policy of annexation.

Editor Rutland Herald decoration
Day is to be observed here with appropri-
ate ceremonies Col. T. o. Seaver is to
deliver an address at Mechanicsville. The
decoration is under the charge of Post
Farragut, g. A. R., assisted by Spencer
Lodge T. o. of G.. T. Of Mechanicsville,
and Mill River Lodge of East Walling-
ford. The East Wallingford Cornet Band
will be in attendance, and after decorating
the graves the procession will proceed to
East Wallingford and decorate the graves
there. 1t is only fitting that those who
so nobly died on the battle field in defence
of the nation should ever be held in CRATE
full remembrance, and that their graves
should be strewn with the choicest flow
ers.
I saw in your paper of last week a
communication singned "Guest," in re-
gard to the examination of teachers in
this town, which lacked one ingredient
which should be found in all communi-
cations, that is truth. "Guest" says, "Some
applied for certificates that did not intend
to teach until winter, thin king, perhaps,
the examination would not be any more
rigid now than in the fall. That a little
cunning was played was evident to all
present" There were twelve teachers
who were examined - six had taken
schools and six had not. OF those six
"who did not intend to teach until win.
ter" four have since taken schools-two
in this town, and two in Wsllingford. OF
the other two "who played cunning" one
was myself and the other was Johnny
Cron1y, whose age is seventeen years. /
attended the examination as spectator,
having given up the avocation of teacher,
but out of curiosity took o list of ques-
tions and run them through. In regard
to the other young gent, 1t was we'll
known to Mr. Randall that he could pass
an examination any month in the year.
I saw no surprise manifested by Mr.. Ran
dali at the number of teachers who pre-
sented themselves for examination. He
was acquainted with them all personally,
and amopg'th were school-marms of
ability and experience, who have earned
their reputation as good teachers in the
various towns and districts in which they
have taught. Although our climate is
cold aud our soil stubborn, yet we claim
that we can raise as good school-marms,
and as many of them, as any of our sister
towns, and our exports far exceed our
imports Our schools, with but two ex-
ceptions, are taught by our own teachers,
while we furnish Wallingford five,
Shrewsbury two, Weston, Plymouth and
Chester one each.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if "Guest" tells you
that we have snow in the midst OF sum-
mer that ball up the horses, that "the
Young man who speculated in butter lost
twenty dollars" that "the roads are out
of repair" or that "eggs are fifteen cents
per dozen," you are at libarty to believe
him, for such things are possible; but
when be tells you that water will run up
hill, that the moon is made of green
cheese, or that our teachers have to "play
canning" to get license to teach, don't
take any stock in it, for such thugs are
among the impossibilities.
Yours, etc,
