SHREwsBURY.-On Tuesday evening,
the officers of Pico lodge, [. o. of o. F.,
were publicly installed in the church at
Cuttingsville, in the presence of a large
audience, by FL. r. Dyer, Grand War
den. At the conclusion of the installa-
ton services, an address was delivered
by Henry Clark of Rutland, Grand Rep
resentative. The odcs were rendered in
a very effective and excellent manner by
a selected choir After the conclusion
of the public exercises a supper was
served at Todd's hotel. This entertain
ment was unexpected, and was of the
most excellent kind, such as only Todd,
the prince of caterers, can furnish. The
choicest viands and delicacies of the sea-
son were on the table In fact, the whole
supper was such as can be presented at
few, if any, hotels in the State. This
hotel deserves the large patronage of
pleasure parties, and in no direction can
the citizens of Rutland go for d pleasure
ride and find table equal to that set be-
fore the traveller who finds himself a
guest at the hotel at Cuttingsville.

MAYOR HALL For the first time
New York has republican mayor in the
person of Gen. Cochrane, president of
the board of aldermen, who has been ap-
pointed to the Office temporarily by
Mayor Hall, while he goes to look after
his private business for a week But it
is understood that his private business
will keep him a good while longer than
that, and even if he does not resign, as
he probably will in a few days, the legis-
lature will legislate him out of office.
Attorney General Barlow favors the pro-
secution of Hall, while Charles O'Conor
is opposed, as he has been all along.

THE RUSSIAN MY.-The deficiency
of officers In the Russian army is a mat
ter of some concern to the imperial gov
ernment of the Gear. Since 1869 there
has been a noticeable falling off. AT
The close of that year there were 1918
officers required to fill vacancies at the
close of 1870 the deficiency was increased
to 2,045, while on the 1st of November,
1871, these figures were swelled to 1868.
1t must be remembered, however, that
during the time specified the Russian
army has been largely increased and re-
cruiting has been exceedingly active of
late The discrepancy can be accounted
foe in this way-that the government
finds 1t much easier to fill the ranks than
TO supply officers.

THE EMPEROR OF BRAZIL AS A MEDIA
ToR.-The correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette in Rome relates that during
the stay of the Emperor of Brazil in the
Eternal City he had number of audi
ences with the Holy Father At one of
these, it is stated, he approached Pho
Mono on the subject of a reconciliation
between him and the King of Italy. His
Holiness affected surprise at the position
taken by the Brazilian monarch and ap-
peared very much irritated when the lat
ter promised to bring Victor Emmanuel
to the Vatican privately in order that he
might have an audience with the vener-
able Pontiff. AS might have been ex-
pected, the attempted mediation ended
in failure. Pho Mono still maintains his
opposition to Italy's King, and the
breach between them is as wide as ever.

Office Department has agreed, at the
suggestion of the United States Treasury

ing them to receive mutilated currency,
under the new regulations, in payment
for postage stamps and stamped envel-
opes on the same terms that it is receiv-
ed by the officers of the Treasury De

CONGRESSIONAL DRINKING. - Senator
Wilson says there are fewer drinking
men in Congress than formerly when
the night sessions were dreaded, on ac-
count of the debauchery to which they
gave rise. Now, about one-quarter of
the Senators are pledged temperance
men, and there is not what may be call
ed "a hard drinker" in the Senate at
all. But Mr.. Wilson's standard of a
hard drinker must be pretty high one.

At this reason all the great lines Of

that will defend their system from the
evil consequences Of such changes, and

Such an antidote-Certain in its protcc-

Objectionable in Its composition and fla.

the bodily ills to which the undeiended
system is liable in unhealthy localities.
