A young lady named Cora Wilson, OF
ShOreham, about 10 years of age, has been
a sufferer for more than year, and all the
skill of medical science could not cure her
or relieve her of her suffering, until death
came to her relief on Friday week 1t is al
most a year since she first took to her bed,
and for several months previous 10 her de-
cease she was unable to walk, in fact, was
completely paralyzed, and unable to move
so much as her little finger. Every parti-
Gle of her hair, even to her eyelashes, drop
ped off, and thick scab formed over her
entire body. This incrustation was as white
as snow, and would drop off regularly every
month, leaving her skin very soft and ex-
ceedingly tender and sensitive. In less than
twenty-fou- hours after the old scab dropped
off a new one exactly similar to the old
would be formed over her entire body
When she was first taken sick this incrus-
tation did not appear, but has only manifes-
ted its presence for about six months. Her
appetite was good during her whole sick
ness, and her bodily pain was never at any
time exceptionally severe. The disease
baffied all medical skill. No physician who
has visited her ever saw or heard of SINH
lar case.
BENNINGTON COUNTY,
The Bennington and Glastonbury Rail
road is certainly proving to be a benefit to
the towns it passes through. Facilities for
nearly every branch of business are in
creased, especially in the wood, lumber and
coal trade. Not one year will clapsc ere it
will be extended across the mountain, and
then the whole thing will be more remuner-
alive than ever. The route has been sur
veyed and found to be feasible one,
johnson and Jared Burritt of Manchester,
on the 10Th OF Sept. caught bay lynx,
measuring nearly three feet in length, and
standing eighteen inches high-which was a
very large one of the kind. These brothers
have caught, nearly in the same place, over
fifty bears. These same brothers have
raised, this year, a Chill squash, which
measured five feet nine inches in circumfer-
cnce, three feet in length and weighed
ninety-nine and quarter pounds
There is young lady in Woodford that
claims to have had forty-one beaux by sac
tual count during the past ten years, and
yet she comes ont with the startling an
nOuncement "Im good for more"

sently.

FRANKLIN COUNTY.
The organization of grange of tho Pat
rons of Ilusbandry Mt North Fairfax is in
contemplation.
Quite an excitement was created at North
Fairfax, few days since, by the disappear
ance of one Frank Bailey, and with him a
young daughter, sixteen years of age, OF
'Mitch." Bushkey's. He leaves wife and
two children in rather destitute circumstan-
ces and has another wife and children in a
town not far away. His wife does not re-
'ceive the sympathy of her neighbors that
she would were it not for the report that she
would were 1t not for the report that she
came to North Fairfax with the said Bailey
under similar circumstances.
