THE VERMONT CENTRAL RAILROAD Diff
ULTIEs.--There is nothing as yet known re-
garding the financial condition of this road, and
it will require some time for even the managers
to make a full statement of their affairs. 1t
appears, however, that they evince no DISPOSE
ton to surrender without struggle. They
have faith il. the ultimate success Of their en-
terprise. We have no doubt that the present
collapse will in the end prove beneficial to all
parties In interest, and that it is well that
point has been reached where those in the man
agement will be obliged to stop and see what
steps shall be taken to effect reform and in
troduce a more economical administration of
affairs. The gentlemen whose want of sagaci-
ty or want of economy have been instrumental
in part in bringing about the present unfortu-
nate collapse will no doubt feel bound in honor
to do all in their power to show how the errors
may be corrected, for the increasing business of
the road must in time enable them, with judi
cious management to meet public expectation.

publishing the names of drunkards in the news

their vicious habits The experiment seemed
to answer very well for time, but such is the

BITTEN BY A MAD DOG.-On yesterday large
and ferocious dog, in the worst stages Of hydro
phObia, attacked and bit Mr. John =. Ricketts,, ex-
sheriff of Clay county. The wound was a severe
one, and was inflicted in the thigh, two of the
teeth penetrating the flesh. Medical assistance
was at once called in. DIR. Wood of this city hur-
ried off at once t. see the sufferer. He cut away
all the flesh around the bite, washed the wound
repeatedly with warm wafer and vinegar, and
then burned it thoroughly and effectively with
muriatc acid. We rrioicc to know that Mr.. Rick
cts is resting easy, and is in no manner alarmed
This dog was the property of Mr. Eli Mnrry,
who lives near Harlem. After Mr.. Ricketts, was
bitten, the dog started off furiously, fuaming at
the mouth and swapping at everything in his way.
Mr.. Sam Campbell was in the woods hunting
near by. The dog spied him. made straight at
him. leaped up as if to take him by the throat, and
barked the hoarse dry, rasping bark of rabids.
Mr.. Campbell fought him off with his gun. The
dog seizel the barrel and sunk his teeth into it
few inches from Mr.. CampbelPs hand. who jumped
back few feet, fired both barrels into his breast,
and TINS saved his own life. 1t was a narrow
escape.-kaRsas City Times.

Death Of the Last SaPviv0r or the Battle I
Lake Eric.

Lake Eric.
The Newport Or. ~ Mercury, in announcing
the death at Brooklyn on Friday, Jan. 5, of Capt.
Thomas Brownell, United States navy, i'm the sOth
year of his age, adds the following:
BY the death of this officer, We believe the last
of the survivors of the battle Of Lake Erie has
gone to his final rest. In 1860 there were known
to be eighteen living, hut during the last eleven
years they have dropped of, and now the last on
the roll has finished his labors.
Captain Brownell was of $50 Rhode ISLAM
ders who accompanied Commodore o. II. Perry
to Lake Erie, having been previously employed as
Masters Mate on one of the gunbOats comman-
ded by Perry in this liarber in 1872. He assisted
in the fitting the vessel for action on Lake Erie,
and was promoted to Sailing Master, and in the
battle second in command Of the schooner
Ariel. Previous to the engagement he had Sc
riOusly injured his leg and went into hattie on
crutchcs, but soon threw them away and brought
his vessel second in line. He performed his duty
faithfully, and the following year was put in
command of one of the vessels the lake. At
ter the battle he took an active part with the
land forces, and, being but twenty years of age,
was enabled to Withstand great hartlships. He
was often within the enemy's lines acting as spy.
and never shirkcd duty. He saw the British flag
pulled down seven times on the Canada from
tier.
After peace he left the navy, and was engaged
i'm the merchant service until 1s40, when he again
received his commission as Sailing Master in the
navy, was promoted to Lieutenant in 1s4i, and
had the supervision of building vessels. He per-
formed this duty seven years, and in 1S56 was
placed on the retired list His commission as
Captain is dated 1867.

A few years ago, Congress voted to give one
hundred and sixty acres Of land to each soldier
who actually served in the war of 1912, the proof
of service Icing his name ON the paw roll. It
appeared that there were n very few hard cases
where persons had served, but whose names could
not be found on the rolls A bill was accordingly
passed, authorizing oral Testimony of service.
What was the consequence Twenty-seven thou
sand men came forward and proved in the most
satisfactory manner that they were in the battle
of Plattsburg, September. 1912, while :hc fact 10
there was only eight Thousand men our side in
the battle; and the battle had taken place forty
years before. 1t ought tn be remarked, to save
the government from Disgrace, that the proof in
all these cases were 80 complete and regular that
there was no setting them aside, ard though in
the aggregate they were nonsfrous Les, yet they
could not be rejected individually.

THE TRUTH OF HIsroRY.-The following inac-
curacy in political history is not becoming to the
Enquirer. 1t occurs in statement of its objec-
tions to the reelection of Grant:
l. He is not honest. 2. He is not capable.
3. He has not been faithful to the Constitution.
These are the Jeffersonian tests, and in each of
them he fails.
These can be called Jeifersonian tests only be-
cause Jefferson set them aside. When remOnstra-
ted with by the citizens of New Haven for reno
wing n postmaster who was n revolutionary Off
Ger, good postmaster and man highly esteem
ed Mr.. Jefferson replied that when he came into
Office all the Offices were in the hands of the adhe-
rents of the former administration; and that it
was proper to give his party its share, and that
when he had done this he hoped to return to the
practice where the only test of qualification for
office was, is he hOnestf Is he capable' Is he
faithful to the Constitution Thus he recognized
that this had been the rule in appointments, and
that he had suspended it in order to give his
partisans their share of the spoils. He promised
that when the victors had got.enough, he would
enforce the rule which he had suspended. But
they never got enough, and he never returned
to it. He introduced the spoils system into the
government. yet, by a curious historical pervers-
ion, he is called the author of the rule which he
abOlished.-CiRcinRdi Ga<effe.

The NEW POSTAL REGULAroS.-The following
paragraph. from the New York Times, clearly de-,
nnes the limitations OF the law relating to writing
on newspapers:
The Postmaster General has directed that the
new regulations respecting newspapers sent by
mail be strictly enforced. No name or memoran-
dunn n allowed to he written on q newspaper in
side Of the wrapper ON which the address is writ
ten. II is barely permissible to mark an article
with pen or pencil. More than this subjects the
paper to letter postage, and the violation Of the
law to . fine. No printed card, handful or
advertisement, NO written notice, letter, or slip
of any kind must be folded in the paper. To do
any Of these things is to violate the law. Printed
slips pasted the outside, folded in papers or
periodicals, arc also violation Of the Law. Sen
ders of transent papers can send bundles of prin-
ted matter by weight on transient postage char
ges, but must not send any written matter in
such bundlss,n
