TIE figures which We present above are
very gratifying. The tact is that our staple
has been laid down in Europe at SO low
price that al. competing oils have almost
been beaten out Of the markets. Unless
great Improvements have very recently been
made In the manufacture OF sbale oil, there
u every reason to believe that that article
has noi this year, aud can not, be produced
at prices sufficiently low to compete with
petroleum, even'whilh the protection shat is
iurulshei the Eng ish shale oil producers
by the high test law. So long as the price
oil Petroleum is as low as at present there
Is very strong probability that the
consumption will increase enormously, g..
tina. when high prices do come they will
be all the more lasting.

A THRIVING TowN.-The st. Adams
Messenger thus sums up the expected
industrial activity Of that place the COM
ing season:
"The Iron and Steel Rolling Mill will
be in operation, requiring, to begin with,
some hundred workmen before May,
and thereafter when in full blast much
larger number. The completion of the
Water Works will be entered upon as
soon as possible, and will require for a
time large number of men. The new
court house, involving an expenditure of
twenty-five thousand dollars is to be
built at once. The Baptist and the
Catholic churches are to be finished, or
as nearly so as funds will permit"
In addition, the erection of dwelling
houses will be largely increased during
the coming summer. New houses must
be built to accommodate the increasing
population. There are now scarcely any
houses to rent or 10 sell.

New Cemetery.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Now that the subject
of locating cemetery near our village
is being agitated, several considerations
are presented which are proper to be
thought Of now, before location is iul.
ly decided upon. / am glad that the
matter is being talked up, and that there
is some prospect that We may soon have
resting-place for the dead, matter
that ought to have been attended to
years ago. But there should be no mis-
take made in location. Our village is
growing, though not as fast as it might
were people not obliged to leave for lack
of house rents and many prevented from
coming here for the same reason. Soon
all the available land for building, in
the " dish " in which e are located will
be wanted. 1t must then occur to all
that no land adjacent to our village
should be taken for cemetery. The
land just west of our village is most
beautifully adapted for suburban resi-
dences, and should be offered to the liv-
ing, at prices that would induce people
of taste to locate there and lay out am
pie grounds around their residences.
l am sure it will be mistake to To-
cate the new burial ground there. Give
the living the first chance ON those beau.
tiful mills.
Many places are now realizing the
mistakes of years ago in coating burial
grounds near villages, since grown to be
cities, and the resting places of their de-
parted friends are now right in the noise
and hustle of business. Our new ceme-
terry should be located hey ond the prob
able limits of future growth, where af-
lection may drop tear over the graves
of departed loved ones, undisturbed by
the rude gaze of the passer-by, beauti-
full, quiet place, where we might wish to
be laid when it is said of us that, through
with life's fitful fever, he sleeps we'll" 1t
is to be hoped that those who will have
this matter in charge will act with no
undue haste. There are several loca-
tions north of the village which are un-
surpassed for natural beauty, and can be
bought on better terms than the land |
referred to.
The final location should not be made
till May clothes the landscape, and al
low the suggestion that committee be
appointed, made up of gentlemen of
taste and good judgment, who will take
time to look and report We are all in
terested in this matter, and SO let others
speak. F.G.B.

PRoCToRsvILLE.-On Sunday after
noon, 10th inst, Mr.. George L. Fletcher
of Chester addressed the Ss bbath-school
and audience on Bible Education, and
in the evening he addressed the citizens
on the subject of temperance, and at the
close of the meeting some sixty came
forward and signed tae total abstinence
pledge.
At the recent annual meeting the town
of Cavendish voted tax of two per
cent. for the +" Fletcher Town Library"
which now numbers $500 volumes, / $50
of which are at the branch at Proctors-
vile. There has been taken out of the
library rooms at Cavendish, the last
year, 900 volumes, and at the branch,
1,757.
We learn that large portion of the
old Fletcher farm and homestead in
Proctorsville is for sale. 1t is a yery
productive and desirable farm, among
the most pleasantly located in Black
River Valley, and is, therefore, a rare
opportunity In many respects.
P. S. Since the foregoing was written
we have received an advertisement of the
above named property, to which we
would call attention. Possession will be
given Immediately.

The Walpole correspondent of the
Keene Sentinel says the tobacco crop of
that town has been turned into money.
He says further: "The cultivation of to-
bacco is an experiment in this region.
The low price of the weed this year and
the long faces of those that cultivate it

CONTEST WITH AN INFURIATED BULL.
MIR. Cyrus Birge, living ear William
2. Nash, in New Haven, went into his
barn on the 18th inst, to feed his cattle,
which were tied up in stalls. Among
these was bull which, when Mr.. Birge
went into his stall, turned upon and as
sailed him with his horns and prevented
him from getting out. In this way he
was left to contend with the infuriated
animal which, with his horns, tore al
most all the clothes off from Mr.. Birge
He finally made his escape, being svere.
ly bruised and almost killed. He was
taken to his house and is recovering
from his injuries. 1t is almost a mira
Gle that be was not gored to death in the
unequal contest under such disadvanta-
geous circumstances.

The Temperance Meeting.

The temperance meeting al Union Hall
on Sunday evening was largely attended,
1t was probably the largest temperance
gathering ever held in this place, the
large hall being nearly filed. Some
thirty were present from Rockingham
Centre, while the neighborhood at Cages
Mills was largely represented. Mr., j.
G. Tolman presided, ana after prayer by
Rev. Mr.. HaskiDs an address was deliv.
cred by Richard Grogan, strongly por-
traying the evils of intemperance, and
favoring the enforcement of the laws
against the sale of intoxicating liquors
without reserve. The meeting was also
briefly addressed by Rev. Mr.. Haskins.
A strong determination seemed to pre-
vail for the enforcement of the liquor
law, and statement that rum-selling
was going to be stopped was received
with strong applause, and resolution
to that effect was adopted by rising
vote, so general that it was remarked
from the platform, "That means bust
ness"
1t appears that temperance cam
paign is now going on throughout the
town, with reference to upholding the
temperance cause and the enforcement
OF the law against the liquor traffic. A
large meeting was held at Saxtons River
on Friday evening of last week, at which
sixty persons came forward and pledged
themselves to uphold the effort.
Under the circumstances would it not
be best for all who are engaged in the
unlawful sale of Intoxicating liquors to
. come down." like Capt. SCOTS coon,
before they are fred at, and try the fol.
lowing experiment: No intoxicating liq-
uors whatever to be sold for the next
ninety days. If, at the end of that time,
it is found to work badly, that there is
an increase of quarrels, broils, assaults,
poverty, depletion of pockets, abuse of
families and want of their support, &c,
It will be easy to resume" On the
1ther hand, if it should be found to |
greatly improve the community in all
he above named respects, who would

GRAFToN.-At the annual town meet
ing motion to request the Count,
Commissioner not to appoint an agent L
sell spirituous liquor in Grafton was Car
ried by a large majority.
The efficiency Of the North West Flu
Co., was illustrated on Friday last, anC
the sterling qualities of one member ant
one dog thoroughly tested. A member
of the company, accompanied with dos
Bruno, was passing on the highway lead
ing to West Hill. near sunset, when he
discovered an animal leap from an un,
dergrowth, cross the road and pass into
an open field, but on low land which
could not be seen from the highway
Bruno was soon upon his track, moved
slowly, but the hoarse tone of his loud
voice echoed from hill to hill. Both the
dog and stranger whose acquaintance,
he seemed eager to make were soon in
plain view on an elevation of land some
fifty rods from the road. The animal
manifested neither fear or disposition
to bulge. but in threatening attitude
faced the dog and exhibited set of ivo-
ry of superior quality; Bruno hesitated,
sought in vain to get side view, but at
length sprang forward and succeeded in
fastening upon him just back of the fore
shoulder, frightful yell indicated the
terrible effect of bis teeth; a struggle at
once ensued and the conflict seemed on
both sides struggle for life. The dog
soon roared Justify, relaxed his hold and
lodged back holding up one fore foot
from which the blood flowed freely, but
he had seen similar service before, and
after cycling his antagonist few mo-
ments, the conflict was renewed with
terrible fury, and for some time the re-
suit seemed tearfully uncertain. There
was no opportunity to decide the contest
with bullet, and the dog must rely up
on his own skill and strength. He at
length succeeded in fastening his teeth
upon the throat of the varmint and soon
rendered his respiratory organs of no
avail or in the language of the immortal
poet shut off his wind" Other men,
bers of the Company arrived just in
time to witness the victory of the dog.
The animal was then submitted to the
inspection of competent judges. The
stripes on its tail were precisely like
those on the tail of New Holland
kangaroo. The nose and head like that
Of the California bear, but the form, size
and color of the body, left no doubt that
it was Procyonlotor found in many
parts of North America, and sometimes
called raccoon.
Mr.. H. S. Wheelock's cream colored
colts, which for some weeks past have
been subjected to the skillful training of
Mr.. Stephen Ayres, were sold on Thurs
lay last, to Mr.. Worcester of Boston for

premises this spring.
correspondence of the Brattleboro Phe-
nix says that one night recently the vii
lage physician, DIR. W., made a sudden
and unprecedented addition to his
knowledge of the natural history of
quadrupeds. Returning from visit to
a patient, he had nearly reached his
home in safety when he took in friend
to ride. This was an unlucky circum-
stance, though highly creditable to the
doctors good taste and courtesy. The
road-path was deep and narrow, and the
moon cast a shadow therein. The doc
tor saw huge muskrat running in the
path few rods before. ."Put up your
horse and run him down; he can't get
out off the track p said the friend. The
doctor at once acted on the suggestion.
The horses hoofs struck the poor animal.
and the astonished doctor, with the whole
establishment, passed through rapidly
expanding cloud of penetrating mephitic
vapor. Science has demonstrated the ex-
act number of feet that light travels in
second, but it has not yet shown with
mathematical certainty how fast the odor
of the Mephitis americana, Skunk ra-
dates. In this case it brought people to
their feet at once at distance of half a
mile-a fine illustration of the philosoph
ic principles of the almost infinite divis-
Utility of the particles of matter. "That
wasn't muskrat," said the doctor.
That's evident" said his riding COM
panion. The doctor then became silent
and reflective.
