Charles Chapman, son of VIM. Chap
man, of this village, brakeman on the
P. & O., railroad was instantly killed,
near Judge Bells, on Monday morning
last. He stood on box car, near the
forward part of the train, fixing bell
rope, to connect the rear passenger cars
with the engine, when, passing under
the dry bridge at Judge Bells he was
struck in the head and knocked down
upon the car. A mile and half from
that place he either recovered conscious
ness and rolled off, or was Jared off the
car, striking upon the track. when the
train passed over the middle of his body,
so badly mutilating it that from the
middle of his body to his knees it was
scarcely possible to recognize the hui
man form. Some four or five cars pass
ed over him, besmearing the wheels and
car bottoms with blood and bits of flesh.
He was not missed till the train reached
Walden flights, when a hand car was
sent back and the body found in the
condition above described, and brought
to St. Johnsbury, where it was prepared
for conveyance to his fathers. 1t seems
that man standing on the end of the
rear car saw an object on the track as
the train passed over. He noticed it
was bloody and cut apart but supposing
it the body of some animal he did not
call attention to it. Mr.. Chapman was
about % years old, had been a brakeman
on the Passumpsic and for the past few
months on the P. and O. The blow will
fall with crushing force upon his fathers
family. This horror is another irresist
ible argument why all railroads should
build their bridges so high that the tall
est man on the highest box. Car can pass
under them with safety. The propriety
of this is proposed and discussed aftel
every such accident, and yet nothing il
done in this direction to save life. Ate
this accident is fully discussed the ex
element will die away and nothing NOR
be said or done till the next victim ere

How Not to Die.

Thousands fall prey to disease not be-
cause the maladies that affect them are
necessarily fatal, but because they lack the
requisite amount of active vitality to make
valiant resistance to the enemy. 1t Is a
wise precaution to keep the body always In
state of defense-always prepared to
"fend off, the germs of epidemic and other
disorders, and to battle the evil influence of
damp miasma and sudden thermometrical
changes. There is no difficulty in doing
this. 1t is q fact as well authenticated as
that two and two make four, that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is specially adapted TO
this purpose, and fol- the simple reason that
its invigorating and regulating properties
are superior to those of any other medicine
in the world. During the twenty years
that it has been in general use ample OPP
portunities have been afforded to compare
its medicinal properties with those of other
preparations claiming to be OF similar
class, and the result has been its adoption
by the American people as the standard
tonic of the age, its introduction into every
civilized portion of the western hemi-
sphere, and an annual sale which dwarfs
into inSignificance the demand for all its
would-be competitors.
The record upon which its popularity
rests Is q curiosity in medical literature, for
il includes an almost unlimited variety of
no other remedy possesses such variety
ofhygienic virtues, and II Is to these char
acteriSticS that II owes its prestige as a
household medicine.

The "Water Famine"

We already know by experience,
that the rains OF the season have fallen
short Of their usual abundance this
spring in the United States, although
the condensation OF this past week has
has been considerable. The returns
from England, carefully collated by
Mr.. Glaisher, give general average OF
only twenty-five inches for the past
year, while the proper mean rainfall Of
England is thirty inches. The def
cheney of eight inches Of the usual fall
may be roughly estimated at over a
million gallons of water for every
square mile of British territory, and
should he carefully noted. In the
tropics, where the atmospheric ma
chinery takes up the greatest amount Of
moisture from the sea for terrestrial dis
tribution, we find similar results.
From the returns Of the Windward
West Indies the official figures for last
December show a deficiency greater
than has been known in the
twenty-four years preceding; and the
average of the year 1871 was twenty
eight per cent, OF more than one
fourth below that of the preceding
twenty-four years. For the month of
January, 1872, the returns are still
more dscoursgipg, the average falling
short Of that for the same month Of the
twenty-five preceding years by thirty
five per cent, or more than one-third.
Taking these facts in connection
with the widespread and terrible raya-
ges of the great Northwestern fires and
forest CONGREGATIONS, which denuded so
many districts Of country last fall, and
remembering the climate deterioration
usually observed to follow the clearing
OF the soil and the telling of the trees,
we see good reason for calling the at
tention OF the whole country to the most
frugal outstanding Of the precious water
supply distilled from the clouds-Ne,U

ed by certain popular vocalist who
has attained such extensive reputation
for singing sacred music. Singing for

title for his concerts ia, "An evening OF
sacred song" He publishes the books
be sings from, and sells thousands OF
them at high retail rates. He sells
musical instruments and adVertises
them in his books largely and is enabled
to sell a good many by means of his
concerts; then, when the concert is
over, he claims the lions share, in most
instances, of the door money-usually

Sunday school, go that the audience
will be large and the patronage lib
eral through the effective previous
ticket.selling Of the ladies, children and
shop-keepers. Now almost any one
would "sing for Jesus" if he could sing
fortune out of the peoples pockets, as
this brother has done in the few years
past. We are about to have such a
concert as have described in Brook
lyn. This is a favorite place OF opera
tons, and ian evening of sacred song
for the benefit of Methodist preachers,
at fifty cents or one dollar each, has
come to be a common thing at our con-
ferences. The people owe it to their
own good name to discontinue such
methods of fleeing our conferences, and
the preachers should dignifiedly let this
brother sing without tuning his notes
for Jesus with money they Dug ht to
save for their too scantily furnished
families. hope this thread bare sham
will soon cease to shame our religion in
the eyes Of a discerning public. fthis
gentleman wants to make money and

right to object; but against bis legerde-
