How to Drcss sheen.

It may be of interest to some of our
country readers to learn to Gress sheep
properly, because Il great deal of flavor
depends upon how this operation is
performed. We give directions how
to avoid this i'll flavor, which arises
from the absorption by the meat of the
gases from the intestines, which, as
the outside of the carcass cools. cannot
escape, and are therefore absorbed by
the flesh. There is simple remedy.
As soon as the animal is dead, let the
hide be slit up from the bricket to the
tail, and to the knees, by quick mo-
ton Of u sharp pointed knife, inserted
beneath the skin; strip the skin from
the belly, and the ribs and legs, so that
it will be out of the way of the iates-
tines. Then open the sheep imme
diately and disembowel it. All this
ought to be the work of about one
minute or two, or If it occupies five
there will not be sufficient time for the
carcass to cool sufficiently to cause. any
unpleasant taste. Then proceed to
strip the skin from the back of the
carcass. A sheep should be killed by
thrusting a sharp knife through the
neck, back of the windplpe, without
touching it, however, but cutting the
arteries and as soon as the knife is
inserted it should be twisted around
as if to make round hole there will
be then no mistake made in cutting the
arteries aud che death of the animal
will he comparative painless and rapid.

One of the most painful surgical opera
tions is removing nails which have grown
into the flesh. There is no necessity what
soever for this pain. The new method is
to keep the patient ten Or fifteen days on a
bed or on q sofa with a bread or meal
poultice applied to the toe. This poultce
is changed several times daily, and the toe
is bathed twice a day in water as warm as
may be borne. In ten or fifteen days the
nail becomes so soft it may be cut with
scissors and removed by hand without the
least pain. Could not the nail be made
soft enough by keeping in hot water, often
changed, for ten or twelve hours?

The election of town officers passedOf quietly; the Democrats being the cham pions Of the day. They feel highly elated over their success. Tn the afternoon a town meeting was held, at which the sub ject of roads was discussed in the usual l animated manner. At a previous town meeting 1t was voted that the selectmen l should lay out and construct highway from Dr. E. P. Lyman's barn to point on the Litchfield highway between the residences of Geo. s. Cogswel and c. D.. Camp, following what is called the school house brook. At another meeting, the vote was rescinded and $500 was appropri- l ated for the purpose of grading the school house hill; the persons who car ried the vote thought it would put an end to the construction of new road. But the grading of this hill won't help US much; in fact, it will be of no benefit to I'the people of Marbledale who are inter- ested more than those living in any other part of tine town in the matter. Finally those interested concluded that they would be satisfied with shorter route, commencing at the aforesaid barn, and connecting with the Litchfeld highway at a point between G. c. Whittlesey's and H.. A. Bennetts. This could be built for small amount, and would satisfy all in this part of the town, but it was voted down by Washington people. And now after the wasting of great amount of time in unnecessary and uninteresting de- bate; after reconsidering, resembling, &c.,, the matter stands thus: The comprom- ise or short route is voted down; the road which was laid out is discontinued; the inadequate sum of $500 is appropriated for grading the school house hill; and in short time the town will be sued for a road. MT. F. W. Gum made some excel lent remarks, reminding his fellow vil- lagers of their previous experience in re- gard to highways; but his advice did not have much effect. We'll, our town meet ing was comical affair. If .'The Dan- bury News Man" had been present, he might have collected enough of funny items to last him month.
 Miss Ruth, daughter of Noah Hatch, celebrated her seventeenth birthday by a grand soiree, to which the elite of the village were invited.
