THE TOMB STONES FOR THE NATIONAL
CEMETERIES. - Attorney General Will
liams has given an opinion, which is of
interest to some of our citizens, to the
Secretary Of War, that if the latter gives
out a contract under the law as it now
stands, he must give it to the lowest
bidder, and must keep the contract with
in the limits of the existing appropri-
alton for the national cemeteries. As
this cuts off from the Secretary of War
necessary right of judging whether the
headstone of the lowest bidder is of
proper size, shape and material, and the
existing appropriation is sufficient only
for about One-sixth of the work, General
Belknap decides that he will put the
whole business back upon Congress.
This, IL is thought, will end the matter
for some time, as the defective law ne
cessitaiing this action Of the Secretary
was pushed through Congress in the in
terest Of Philadelphia company, which
falls behind many other bidders in the
quality and price of its sample head
stones, and has no inducements to try
for amendments 10 the law during the
short session.

Less Labor and more Happiness.

- ~
We favor a system that shall contri-
butte most to the happiness of the indi-
vidual and the class. If the one hour
saved from labor be devoted to intelleC-
tual improvement it is well. If the la
bOrer thus released applies his leisure
hours to his garden or his shop, to his
needed rest or the education of his chill
drcn, to the pleasant interchange OF
ideas and good will between neighbOrs,
to almost anything except dissipation;
idleness and debauchery-it will prove a
blessing, taking him out of the enforced
treadmill, of grinding toll, and giving
him status in the world above that of
the mere toiling serf.
One hour a day saved from slavish toll,
if rightly employed and improved, can
he the means of creating new class of
men-new in their capacity for enjoy
ment. as for toll its self. The devotion
of one hour a day to self-educatiOn, to
mental development, can do what has so
often been done before, transform mere
drudgcs into thinking, intelligent beings
with their capacities for healthful en-
iOvment, increased in proportion to the
cultivation of their intclleCtS. But this
will not be the result to the man who
covets the one hour saved from toll in
order that he may have so much more
time to devote to the shutting Of cards
at the corner grocery.
It is common mistake made, that
release from the necessity of labor en-
sures happiness. Employment is helaw
of all really intelligent, certainly all re-
ally progressive nations and individuals.
Others may exist, but they do not live
in the true sense of the word. We
must work with the mind if not with
the hands The invisible wheels and
springs of the brain must be kept NOV
ing. Thought will se evolved, and its
proper direction is the correct one to
happiness. Let the laborer get his re-
lease from the hitherto extra hour ortwo
Of enforced labor and then devote il
sensibly to better purposes than dissipa-
ton or idleness which leads to dissipa-
ton, yagabondage and crime. - Alta

During the past summer, in the hot
days of July and August, the animals
resOrted to the lake to drink, and. after
Stacking their thirst, they would wade
into the water and remain sometimes an
hour or two with their legs half i'm
mersed. This habit was found to in
variably diminish the flow of milk at
night, and in order to learn the extent
of the dimunition, careful observations
were made. 1t was ascertained that
standing in the water an hour diminish
ed the flow to the amount of eight or
ten quarts in herd of thirteen cows.
The loss was so great that whenever
they resorted to the water they were
driven away to the pasture again at
once. We have learned that from sim
ply turning the herd into a yard upon a
cold day in winter and allowing them to
remain fifteen minutes, the flow of milk
was diminished to serious extent. and
consequently the animals are not now
allowed to leave the warm stable dur
ing the entire winter, except for brief
period upon warm, sunny days. Water
is brought directly from the well into
the barn, and the drinking vessels are
arranged so that the animals have to
move but step or two to supply their
wants. The nature of the water supply
and convenience of access, are most i'm
portant points in the management of
milk cows. A draught of ice-cold water

sEAsONABLE SUGGEST

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.
The heavy mists and cold night dews
which characterize the present season are
very trying to delicate organizations, and
in low-lying and swampy localities, they
produce an enormous crop ofintermittent
fevers of various types and degrees of in
tensity. At this very time there are prob
ably half a million of people in the United
States suffering from periodical fevers by
miasmatic fogs and exhalations. What
makes the prevalence of this evil the more
deplorable is the fact that il might in all
cases be easily prevented. Malaria and
damp produce little or no effect upon the
system pre-fortified by course of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. Every fall and
spring hundreds of letters are received
from persons residing in fever and ague
districts, who state that while their neigh
bors are incapacitated for labor by that
facilitating disease, they have been happi-
~ exempted from attack by the regular
use OF the great vegetable antidote 10 mi

Late Dairy Markets.
CHEESE.

CHEESE.
The Utica market on Monday was
dull and sales light. Only about seven
hundred out of seven thousand boxes
offered were sold. The prices were 1877
and IA cents. Buyers declined to pur-
chase because of the large amount of
cheese back in the country.
At Little Falls on Monday the market
for both dairy and factory cheese was
light, and exceedingly dull. This is ac-
counted for from the fact that the prev
Glance of the horse disease in New York
made it impossible to transport cheese
upon its arrival in the city. Buyers were
not disposed to take lots even at moder-
ate prices, on this account. Three hun
dred boxes of dairy were sold at prices
ranging from 124@144 cents; 134 and
IA cents being the ruling prices. About
twenty-five hundred boxes of factory
were offered, of which only fifteen hum
dred were sold. The ruling prices were
IA and 143 cents. Choice lots brought
1495 and 143 cents.
The receipts of cheese at Boston for
the week ending on Saturday last, were
1854 boxes anG ten tons. The demand
has been smaller than usual, but holders
are firm, feeling confident of obtaining
full prices when deliveries can be fully
made. Sales of choice factory have
been made at II and 159 cents, and
choice dairy at 10 and Is cents. Farm
dairy and factory lots command 129 to
IA cents. Reports that go to the city
from the country markets indicate dali
tone, with sales ranging from 125 to AZ
cents, for dairy and factory.
The export demand in New York has
been light, principally on account of the
scarcity of local conveyance. The quo
tations for Vermont cheese are:

Pyra A. Munger, daughter of Augustus
and Temperance Munger. was born IN nj
ting, VT, Feb. LIST, 1925, and died in Lelces-
ter, Oct. "a, 1872.
Early in life she was united to George +.
Fields of Brandon. She was the mother
of nine children, eight of whom survive
her. little son, Stearns Augustus, dleu
in infancy. She was woman of resolutc
character, possessing very cheerful : dl IS
position. always laboring for the good OF
those around her. She was a faithful wife,
an affectionate mother, and her family
will miss her long and sadly. Nor will her
old friends and neighbors forget her, but
with the bereaved family, drop their tears
of sympathy.
IT must be sweet, when the winds low sigh
Is heard beneath the autumn sky,
Sad music making;
When dying nature seems to weep
To gently close the eyes in sleep,
That knows no waking.
When mellow light beams from the sun
And the leaves are dropping, one by one
How sweet to die
To look afar to that bright Hope
And gently yield the spirit up,
without sigh. =

termittent and remittent fevers the Bit
tiers may justly be accounted infallible.
They eradicate the complaints IN their
most obstinate forms; but the wiser course
is to forestall attack by taking the prepa-
ration as a preventive. The amount Of
productive labor Withdrawn from active
service during several months of the year
by maIarious maladies is immense, and
the pecuniary losses to inividuals, families
and the nation from this cause is incalcu-
liable. Bear in mind that by toning and
regulating the system with Hostetter's
Bitters before the calamity comes, IL may
always be escaped; and let il also be re

ity. billOusness, constipation, nervous

has been an improved demand for wool
in general over the proceeding month.
The prices for most descriptions cannot
be quoted lower, while some kinds being
