EGGS IN CASE OF TRpUhtE.-
Eggs are useful for many pur.
poses besides food and for hatch
ing. If you get fish bone in your
throat, and sticking fast there
swallow an egg raw and it will be
almost sure to carry down bone
easily and certainly. There is
another fact touching eggs which
will be well to remember. When.
as sometimes by accident, corro-
sive suhlimate is swallowed, the
white of one or two eggs will
neutralize the poison, and change
the effect to that Of a dose of calo-
mel.

A MEAN IMPosTURE.- The latest
dodge adopted by those people who will
d anything for a living except honest
work, is reported from Indianapolis. A
prominent member of the Young Mems
Christian Association was recently called
upon by two children, who, by story of
dead mother, and home destitute of
fire or wood, awakened his sympathies.
Accompanying them to their home, ap-
pearances corroborated their story, a
coffin, containing the figure of what the
gentleman supposed to be woman pre-
pared for burial, adding to the gloom OF
the poverty striker tenement. He gave
the children FIVE dollar bill with some
loose change, and promising TO make
further arrangement for their comfort,
left the place. Returning to say some
thing to the children which subsequently
occurred 70 him, be was astouished to
find the woman he had supposed dead
sitting up in the coffin counting the mon
ey the imposture had gained.

Westminster Farmers Clnb.

Mr.. EDITOR THAT the world moves

of gravity and of force remain the same,
and science continues to do its mighty
work, we believe the members Of this
club will continue to do theirs.
For more than half score of years
this club has prospered beyond the ex-
pectations Of any of its members or the
prophesies of many not intimately con-
nected, yet never did it receive the as.
surance of richer promise for the fu-
ture than at our last meeting, held on
Friday evening, December 9th. Many
were present and participated in the ex.
ercises. The President, Mr.. Fenelon
Arnold, called the meeting to order, and
M. w. Davis was invited to address the
meeting. To the question, Is it desira.
BILE to continue the meetings of the West

club. 1t is eleven years of age and
am satisfied that it has not only proved
beneficial to me, but to many that have

made better farmers, better men, better
citizers, through the influence of these
meetings. Some of our experiments
have proved Improbable We have
been obliged to change, somewhat, our
method of farming during the eleven
years, we have discussed the many ques-
tions relative to our occupation; yet we
are richer financially, morally, socially
and Intellectually, than before. The
"panic has had its influence all class.

members OF this club predicted this last
winter but we did not expect it so soon.
The lesson should teach US to be econom-
zeal. We must discuss that question.
We cannot afford to let this club die a
natural death because others have. We
have been benefited in the past, we can
be in the future.
The ladies are with us. they are be-
coming acquainted with the general
working of our business and thus our
occupation is made more pleasing and
desirable, more satisfactory and profitable.
Mr.. Sabin seconded Mr.. Davis re.
marks, and added that no meetings could
be prof;aoly sustained where there was
lack of interest, but among men thor
oughly interested in the business of az
riculture, all that was wanting to make
farmers meetings pleasant and profita-

Mr.. NTorriIl's Speech.

Senator Morrill, of this State opened
the financial question in the Senate on
Wednesday OF last week, on free bank
ing and the resumption of specie pay
ment. Mr. Morrill, thinks it high time
to resume, and spoke with much force.
earnestness and vigor. The speech is
received with much favor by the country
and it is likely to prove the key note OF
the financial discussion in congress He
took strong ground against the further
continuance OF an irredeemable paper
currency. In commencing he said;
=" 1t may not be the best time during
a panic for discrete legislation, but ad-
herance to paper money alone is adher-
ence to panics, and when our United
States notes have risen so nearly to par,
when the exchanges have set the tide Of
gold flowing in our favor. when there is
a quick market for all of our exportable
products of the year, when debts have
been reduced to the minimum point, and
when the shrinkage in values is even
greater than would be likely to follow a
resumption of specie payments, it would
be an inexcusable neglect Of duty on
the part Of legislators not to take advan-
tage of so many concurring conditions
to place the currency of the country up
on sound metallic basis, and thus re-
leve the people from the ever present
apprehension of fluctuations and disloca-
tions in trade and banking, thus restrain
the rapid augmentation of our foreign
Indebtedness, and thus give to labor sta
BILE employment and stable rewards.
The agitation Of the country for wal
By would-be army contractors, by Turk.
ing filibusters, and Others who would ex.
pect to do very small part of the fight
log, shows that war is still the lingering
evil to which nations may be too easily
subjected, and if it should come, and b.
fought out upon the basis of an incon
vertable currency, with every actual ex
penditure of 81 900, 900, 000-and we ca,
have no cheap war-it would involv,
the issue of not less than 81 ,500,000,0
in United States Bonds, or 80 per cent
of initiation. Near or remote as may b
the probabilities, here is very poten
argument for a return to standard 0
money level with that of the world"
Mrs Morrill, further stated the pa
per circulation Of England at $215
100000, and thought that 50 per cent. o
present transactions were adjusted b,
means of private paper. This statemen
seems large, in fact overwhelming, bu
as the Senator's means of information
SO much better than ours we cei tainl
shall not dispute it.
With resumption Mr.. Morrill, thinks al
objection to free banking will be remoy
ed, and that there would be no furthe
reproach of a monopoly or an unequa
distribution of banking privileges. B.
giving proper notice he further think
that the government could commence re
deeming its notes in hard cash by th
1st of January, 1875.

The Oranges.
WHAT is REQUIRED.

NhAi 10 hEQbihEDs
The farmers in some sections of the
State are discussing whether they will
organize Oranges or become members of
a secret order known as the Patrons of
Husbandry. The Woodstock Farmers
Club had this subject under considera-
ton last week, and after the reading OF
letter which we give below, the subject
was laid on the table, though no action
is reported as to whether they regarded
the project with favor or otherwise. The
letter which we find in the Woodstock
Post, will be read with interest by the
farmers of this section and Is as follows |;

would be necessary for you to have some
deputy of the order org nize you into a

explain the objects and workings of the
order more fully than one can by writ
ing, and to install the officers that you

least l 8 persons to organize grange, and
six must be ladies. Your Farmers Club
comprehends one object of The Patrons
of Husbandry by meeting and discussing
agricultural subjects, and thereby insti-
tuting mutual improvement among farm
ers. Another oejeet is to be so organized
that we can know where all surplus pro.
duce lies, 50 taat one grange can order
of another in a different part of the
country, direct, thereby saving commits
sions of middle men and bringing pro
ducers and consumers as near together as
possible. Another object is to buy a

agricultural implements Of the manufac
turer thereby saving the agents com

rotary of a sub ordinate grange to repor
quarterly to the secretary of the STATE

National grange the amount of surplu
produce that has been raised and is 70

them printed and sends a copy to eac

that, with the exception of Capt Fry,
the head was blown off every man of the
thirty-six. The marines seemed to exult

that day. of being an American. After
all the party were dead, as in the cases
of Ryan and his companions, the bodies
were thrown into a cart and carried off
to the cemetery. As many as dozen
bodies were thrown into the same hole.
Mr.. Coffin states that the remainder
of the passengers, 80 in number, were to
be executed on the 7Ih, but ON the morn
ing of that day an English man.of'war,
the Niobe, arrived in port. "The cap
tain, on coming into the harbor, did not
salute the Spanish forts. He was in his
boat before his anchor had touched the
bottom, and on landing proceeded
straight to the governors house, and per-
emptorily demanded that the executions
should cease. The governor at first de-
clared that be had no right to interfere,
but the captain said that in the absence
of an American man-of-war he would
! take the responsibility Of protecting
American citizens, and guarding the
honor of the American flag. 1t is said
he gave General Burriel his choice be-
tween yielding to his demands or having
the city bombarded, and the governor
accordingly gave way. Only for the ar
rival of the Niobe, there can be no doubt
but that the 90 would have been shot
that afternoon. All the Americans in
port were loud in praise of the manner
in which the captain of the Niobe acted

SUDDEN AND SINGULAR SICKNESS
Great excitement was caused in Meriden,
Ct, Wednesday afternoon of last week,
by the sudden and alarming indications
of illness manifested by the pupils in the
German school of Rev. Mr.. Graeber.
While class was reciting, one of the
boys a lad of Is, suddenly fell to the
floor, as if in a fainting fit. Mr.. Graeber
had had hardly time to raise him up be-
fore another fell, then one of the girls,
I and so on till pupils we're dropping all
around him like nine-pins. Sect that
tne attack, whatever it was, was of a
general nature, Mr.. Graeber immediate
ly ordered the pupils to go out of doors.
They repaired to vacant lot close at
hand and the teacher, having revived
those he was attending, went out to look
after them, when he saw them falling,
one by one as they had done in the
school-room, till upward of 80 boys and
girls lay writhing in the snow, perfectly
helpless. Their symptoms were similar
to those of sea-sickness, only in addition
to nausea and vomiting, the victims
seemed to lose control of their limbs
Medical attendance was speedily procur-
ed, and the afflicted children we're cared
for and sent home, when most of them
soon recovered, though some were quite
i'll, next day. The probable, in fact the
only explanation of the strange attack
is, that large amount of coal gas had
escaped into the room by reason of de-
feet in the furnace, and had thoroughly
poisoned the atmosphere. Mr.. Graeber
had noticed the smell of the gas, but
persons coming in from the outer air
we're able to perceive it. Ii is needless
to say that the greatest alarm prevailed
among the parents of the children SO
singularly affected and Mr.. Graeber, who
is usually careful man in reference to
ventilation, was overwhelmed with the
questions of the anxious all the evening.
