Strange Surgical Fatality.

The Providence Press says A singular
case has just occurred at Fort Adams. The
wife of Sergeant Wright, who has been
sick for several months, had an incision
made in her flesh short time since, by the
Surgeon stationed there, for the purpose
of injecting fluid. Her body immediate
ly commenced to swell and grow black, and
the next morning she was dead. Even af-
rer her decease the body continued to swell,
and while it was being taken to the grave
it burst.

Mackay was nominated for Treasurer on

A SenseIess Suggestion.

A certain Mr.. Hull presents little sug-
gestion concerning the celebration of the
Centennial which is at least original. He
proposes ''that upon the fourth day of July,
1876, all the prisons and penitentiaries
shall fling their doors wide open and per-
NIT their inmates to depart and begin over
again." We wonder if Mr.. Hull is not one
of the inmates he proposes to benefit or is
it some friend Of his that suffers?

sudden and Sad Death.

Dea. Joseph Burrage, of PIttsford
went to Boston last Tuesday for various
things pertaining to the marriage OF his
eldest son. (who was to have been mar
ried this, Monday, morning, to sister
of the present wife of ]. Grafton Griggs
of this town., and was to have returned
TO Pittsford with the son on the mail
train Saturday morning. They hurried
to catch the train, and when it was near
Leominster, the elder Burrage suddenly
expired, of heart disease, it is supposed.
His death was caused, no doubt, by the
hurrying of the morning. The friends
at Pittsford went to the depot to meet
father and son, and instead received a
crushing Geographic dispatch. Mr..
Burrage has been a resident OF Plttsford
but a short time, having purchased the
Palmer mansion and removed from
Massachusetts recently. He was man
of means, and very much respected, and
in this crushing blow his family will re-
ceive much sympathy from the entire
community. He was good man. a
most excellent husband and father, and
a christian gentleman. The church IN
Pittsford, to which he was connected,
had already learned to love him. No
particulars about the disposition OF the
body, or the funeral, are now, at this
writing, known to us. The deceased
1oovoc q widow in delicate health, and
nine children. The ways of Providence
are dark, and mysterious, surely.
P. S.-Since writing the above, we
learn that the funeral of Mr.. Burrage
was attended, on Tuesday, at North
TpOminster

Correspondence of the Herald.l
Our Missouri letter.
BREOKENRIDGE, Caldwell Co., }
AUGUST 25, 1873.

august SOs 1910.
Editor Rutland Herald In my other
letter, l gave your readers a general de-
scription of Missouri as a State. In this
letter I wish to give more particular
description of our county, with few
figures, showing the amount of business
done and some idea of how it is done.
First, however, let me give some facts
regarding the state of society. What
ever may be your ideas of personal safety
and the security of property in our State,
| can assure you, in all candor, that both
are as secure as in New England. Now do
not feel shy over this. l will guarantee
to any man who may wish to travel the
length and breadth of Missouri-either
by public or private conveyauce-per-
feet freedom from any annoyance or
danger, and that he will find class of
people frank and generous-hospitable
to the fullest extent. 1t is true, we have
a class of men, as do other States, who
know no law but that of might and our
record of crime is appalling. Take an
equal amount of territory in any other
part of our United States, and, putting
crime for crime of equal magnitude, l
believe orr record wil,not be the black
est. Some of our papers attribute the
attempt to destroy and rob railway
train in Iowa, lately, to Missouri bush
whackers. AS citizen of the State,
claim that allegation unjust, and declare
no man has right to lay it to the des-
peradoes of our State more than to New
York or Massach usetts, until they shall
be found out. The same man or men
who tonight commit brutal murder in
Boston, may, in week, commit another
crime in Missouri, Iowa or Kansas. Our
citizens, as a body, are industrious,
peaceful and intelligent, and any asper-
sion cast by the people of the East upon
those of the West, reflects strongly upon
themselves, for the mass of our popu-
lation is of emigrants from other States,

The schools in District No. z closed
a successful term of sixteen weeks on
Friday. The attendance had been quite
large, department excellent, and, with
many additional advantages, provided by
an efficient school board, the progress OF
regular pupils was really praiseworthy.
MIR. William Murphy, formerly a
resident of this village, but now stu
dent of theology at Montreal, was in
town lately, looking remarkably hale
and hearty after a nine years college
course in Worcester, Troy and Montreal.
Mr.. Murphy will be ordained in Decem-
Der, at Montreal, for this diocese.
The new post-office, near the depot,
has been very neatly and conveniently
finished and fitted up. a large number
of ornamental and useful lock-boxes
have been put in for the benefit of our
business men and others. Much credit
is due our efficient postmaster for the re-
ally convenient and tasty arrangement
of the whole.
The ''gold fever has reached US. y
free and easy Micawber, who has been a
luckless hunter of fortune all his life,
arose in a golden dream on Wednesday
evening, and in his scanty raiment start
ed through the open window for the
new ElDorado. Mrs. NJ. detecting her
liege lord, grasped his flowing linen
and held him fast. ''Where now, my
love ?" ''To Mill river, dearest" If it
is water you want, we have it handler, "
and Mrs. Micawber dashes the contents
of the water pitcher over the somnam-
buIist, suddenly dissipating his golden
vision and bringing him back to sober
reality.
"A man, in a demented state, left his
family here early one morning, recently,
and walked to Rutland without boots or
hat. Being recognized there by friends,
he was brought back, and is now recov-
eriug.
Our quiet burgh is almost gay with
an influx of city visitors. If we were
not ashamed of being termed egotistical,
we would aver that Saratoga's and Nj
agara's loss was our gain.

The Law of Death.
BY JOIN hay.

The song of Kilvany. Fairest she
In all the land of Savatthi.
She had one child, as sweet and gay
And dear to her as the light OF day.
She was so young, and he so fair,
The same bright eyes and the same dark
hair,
To see them by the blossomy way
They seemed two children at their play.
There came a death-dart from the sky.
Kilvany saw her darling die.
The glimmering shade her eyes invades,
Out of his cheek the red bloom fades;
His warm heart feels the icy chill,
The round limbs Shudder and are still.
And yet Kilvany held him fast
Long after life's last pulse was past,
AS If her kisses could estore
The smile gone out for eyermore.
But when she saw her child was dead
She scattered ashes on her head,
And seized the small corpse, pale and
sweet,
And rushing wildly through the street,
She sobbing feil at Buddha's feet
''Master! all-heIpful help me now,
Here at thy feet humbly bow;
Have mercy, Buddha! help me now! -
She grOveled on the marble floor,
And kissed the dead child DER and DER.
And suddenly upon the air
There fell the answer to her prayer:
Bring me tonight Lotus tied
With thread from house where none has
died"
She rose and laughed with thankful JOY.
Sure that the god would save the boy.
She found a Lotus by the stream
She pIucked ii from its MONDAY dream,
And then from door to door she Jared,
To ask what house by death was spared.
FER heart grew cold to see the eyes
OF all dilate with slow surprise:
'Kilvamy, thou hast lost thy head;
Nothing can help child that's dead.
There stands not by the Ganges' side
y house where none hath ever died"
Thus through the long and weary day
From every door she bore away
Within her heart and on her arm,
heavier load. a deeper harm.
By gates of gold and ivory,
By wattled huts of poverty,
The same refrain heard poor kilvanY,
Z he living are felU-the dead are fldny.
The evening came, so still and fleet,
And overlook her hurrying feet,
And, heart-siclI by the sacred fame
She fell, and prayed the god again.
She sobbed and beat her bursting breast
''Ah thou hast Knocked me Mightiest!
LO! have wandered far and vide
There stands no house where none hath
died.
And Buddha answered, in n tone
Soft as flute at twilight blown,
But grand as heaven and strong "a death
To him who hears with ears of faith:
"Child, thou art answered. MuTmur not
Bow, and accept the common lot"
Kilvanv heard with reverence meet,
And laid her child at Buddha's feet.

If ouite full of firemen, and those con,

were Quiet. I came near the forward
seat and asked the gentlemen just be-
hind if it was unoccupied; one said it was.
We had conversation together; he was
gentleman in all his appearance:
AS the train started, some half dozen
of firemen came in, somewhat NOISY
though not profane as | heard-and soon
began pushing against each other.
Their conduct was disOrderly but they
seemed only in play and felt themselves
at liberty, as they may have Supposed
none but their comrades were On Doard.
| did not look upon them as lntoxl-
Gated or i'll natured towards any one,
but rude and bent upon boyish fun.
In their pushing at one end OF the car,
at one time, one or two persons were
down with some tumbling about, still
all in GOOD nature. OF course the scene
was annoying to all quiet lockers on.
Soon after the train started an old gen
gentleman came and occupied the inside
| seat with me. / did not know him or
he me. We soon introduced ourselves,
and I found it was Mr. Hull of Walling-

Mr.. Hull was very much disturbed,
more especially because of what had oc-
| cured before the train had arrived nj

/ felt uncomfortable, but | never for
a moment considered myself insulted or
in any danger of personal injury
Mr.. Hull soon rose up and said be

the noisy ones. What he said [ don't

Very soon by the kindness of Messrs.
| Clark, futile and Dunn, who by some
means had learned l was on board,
