SPRINGFIELp,-A heavy shower of
rain and some hail. with lightning and
thunder passed over North Springfield
on Monday, June oath, The lightning
struck a tree in front Of Edmund Lock-

damage. e
Three cows were killed by lightning in
the same shower, belonging to George
Piper, in Weathersfeld, about one mile
from North Springfield.

signed paper for a Greeley club, and

CAvENDIsH.-The two following items
are from the correspondence of the Rut-
land Herald: There lives man in this
town who has large barn very full of
hay, who last winter would not sell a
straw unless he could sell it at his own
exorbitant price-and all in lump at
that. He would not be at the trouble to
divide it-even for the cash in hand,
among the hungry cattle of his neigh
bors. The result now is he has no room
in which to store his new crop, but it is
said will have TO stack it.
Recently the Rev. Mr.. Stone, of Cas-
Teton, agent for the State Temperance
Society, delivered an interesting and in
structive lecture at the Rev. Mr.. Browns
church. AT the close of it, several prom
inent men, not known as temperance
men, contributed literally to the cause,
thus acknowledging the force OF Mr..
Stones arguments, and the importance
Of the total abstinence principles. Ii
we taste not, touch not the dangerous
and seductive fluid which can intoxicate,
in no unguarded moment shall we be-
come overpowered by its too much use
Hence the force of the argument to LEI

even as medicine, use it with extreme
caution and circumspection. We are
glad to see an increased effort to revive
the temperance society here. And that

The FouRTH.-The Fourth is to be
celebrated at Chester in popular style,
and as the people of that place are libe-
raj and patriotic in such things, it is
likely to prove success.
A public demonstration is to take
place at Cavendish, and another at
Keene. At the latter place fireworks in
the evening is an attraction. We write
in the future tense as most of our papers
will be out and read before the events
will occur. 1t is half fare on the Chesh-
ire railroad to Keene, and we presume il
is the same on the other roads to other
places.

A PRINTERS MISFORTUNE.

Some years ago, when the writer was
a reporter on an Eastern paper, II de-
volved upon him to write for the same
edition an account of the presentation of a
gold headed cane to the Rev. DR.. Nudge,
the clergyman of the place, and the de-
scription of a patent hog-killing and sau-
sage machine, that had just been put in
operation at the factory. Now, what
made DR.. Nudge mad was this. The in
considerate buccaneer who made up the
forms got the two locals mixed up in
frightful manner, and when we went to
press, something like this was the ap-
palling result:
"Several of the Rev. DIR. Mudge's
friends called upon him yesterday, and
after brief conversation the unsuspect-
ing hog was seized by the hind legs and
slid along beam until he reached the
hot water tank. His friends explained
the object of their visit, and presented
him with very handsome gold-headed
butcher, who grabbed him by the tail,
swung him round, cut his throat from
ear to ear, and in less than minute the
carcass was in the water. Thereupon he
came forward and said there were times
when the feelings overpowered one, and
for that reason he would not attempt to
do more than thank those around him for
the way in which so huge an animal was
cut into so many fragments was simply as
tonishing. The doctor concluded his re-
marks, when the machine seized him,
and in less time than it takes to write it
the hog was cut into fragments and
worked up into delicious sausage. The
occasion will long be remembered by the
DOCTORS friends as one of the most de-
lightful of their lives. The best pieces
can be obtained for fifteen cents pound,
and we are sure that those who have sat
so long under his ministry will rejoice
that he has been so handsomely treated"
Mad ? Well, about nine o'clock that
morning the Office had been abandoned
by every man but the advertising clerk,
and he ascended to the roof and robed
himself in boiler iron, so that he could
watch the venerable clergyman tearing
around down there in the street with his
congregation, all wearing the panoply Of
war, and carrying butcher knives and
things, The next day we explained and
apologized, but the doctor stopped his
subscription and began to take the rival
paper. - Exchange.

OUR REvoLvERs.-I was armed TO the
teeth with pitiful little Smith e. Wes-
sons seven shooter, which carried ball
like homeopathic pill, and it took the
whole seven 10 make dose for an adult
But | thought it was grand. Itappeared
TO be a dangerous weapon. 1t only had
one fault-you could not hit anything
with it. One of our conductors" prac-
ticed awhile on a cow with it, and as long
AS she stood still and behaved herself she
was safe; but as soon as she went to mov-
ing about, and he got to shooting at other
things, she came to grief. The Secretary
had small sized Colts revolver strapped
around him for protection against the
Indians, and to guard against accidents
he carried it uncapped. Mr.. George
Bemis was dismally formidable. George
Bemis was our fellow traveller. We had
never seen him before. He wore in his
belt an original "Alen" revolver such as
irreverent people called "pepper-box." !"
Simply drawing the trigger back, cooked
and fired the pistol.
AS the trigger came back, the hammer
would begin to rise and the barrel to turn
over, and presently down would drop the
hammer, and away would speed the ball.
To aim along the turning barrel and bit
the thing it was aimed at was a feat which
was probably never done with an "Allen"
in the world. But Georges was reliable
weapon, nevertheless, because, as one of
stage drivers afterwards said, eff she
didn't get what she went after, she would
fetch something else" And so she did
She went after deuce of spades nailed
against a tree, once, and fetched a mule
standing about thirty yards to the left of
it. Bemis did not want the mule; but
the owner came out with double barrel
ed shotgun and persuaded him to buy it,
anyhow. 1t was cheerful weapon-the
"Allen". Sometimes all its six barrels
would go off at once, then there was no
safety in all the region round about, but
behind it. - Roughtng It, by Marx

A NATION IN DECAY-The accounts
of the famine in Persia, which continues
to arrive in great detail, bid fair to treat
the world to the spectacle of calamity
the like of which has not been witnessed
In historic times at least-the sudden ex-
tinction of nation for the want of food.
This has really been the fate of the great
states which once filled the Valley of the
Euphrates, and it is fate which has for
centuries been threatening some modern
states-Spain for instance. Man has strip
ped the soil Of trees the absence of trees
has brought drouths, has slowly dimin-
ished the productive powers of the ground,
and finally destroyed them-the popula-
ton in the meantime dwindling in num-
bers and vitality. Spain had forty mil
lions of people in the time of the Romans,
and flowed with milk and honey it is
now an arid region, only half of it under
cultivation, with only sixteen millions OF
inha bitants, and, if modern science had
not come to its aid, would probably &c
the way of Babylon. Persia was one oI
the most powerful states of antiquity
and even in the fourteenth century was
able to support the army Of Tamerlane
who marched without commissarat OF
baggage, during bloody contest. 1t il
now almost wilderness, with popula-
ton OF two millions-about half Of them
nomads, which are rapidly perishing by
famine brought on by three years. drouth.
The worst of it is, that owing to the alb
sence of either common roads or railroads
it seems to be impossible for the charity
of the world to reach the sufferers, s ,
that there is really strong prospect of
the total depopulation of the country.
The moral of this horrible story is-look
after your trees.-The Nation.

Every year increases the popularity of this
valuable Hair Preparation which is due to
Merit alone. We can assure our old patrons
that it is kept fully up to its high standard !;
and it is the only reliable and perfected reme-
dy for restoring GRAY OR FADED HAIR to
its youthful color, making it soft ustrous, and
silken. The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean: 1t removes all eruptions and dand-
ruff, and, by its tonic properties, prevents the
har from falling out, as it stimulates and
nourishes the hair-glands. By its use the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In badness, it
restores the capillary glands to their normal
Vigor, and will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most economical
HAIR DRESSING ever used, as it requires
fewer applications and gives the hair splen-
did, glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes, NJ. D.,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says: " The
constituents are pure, and carefully SO ected
for extra quality; and consider it the Best
Preparation for its intended purposes"
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers IN Medicines.
