The Rattle of the Bullfrogs.

MANY of the citizens of Vermont will
remember to have seen on one dollar
bills of the Windham County State
Bank vignette representing bullfrOgs
fighting. This was engraved to COM
memorate the Battle of the Bullfrogs.
The facts were as follows:
Many years ago, when the town OF
Windham was newly settled, there came
a very dry season. There are two large
ponds in Windham, separated by an
intervening strip of land of considerable
extent Each of these ponds was in
habited by large community of the
reptiles above named. The smaller
pond dried up, and its inhabitants
started in a body for the lower, and
larger pond. They were met i'll the in
tervening space by the community from
the larger pond and fierce and long
continued battle ensued between the
rival communities. Such was the hide
Gus believing of the frogs during their
fierce encounter that it alarmed the in
habitants, who at first supposed it to
be the whoop of hostile savages. But
curiosity getting the better of their
fears they cautiously proceeded to the
spot whence the hideOus sound issued,
and there beheld the strange spectacle
of two immense armies of bullfrOgs,
covering many acres of ground, engaged
in fierce and deadly battle. This
battle continued more than twenty four
hours and when it was over the ground
was literally covered with the slain,
and it became necessary to avoid the
noXious etfluvia, to gather and bury
them. have related this az it was
given to me five years ago by gentle
man who then resided at Highgate
Springs, and whose name can he pub
lished if desired. 1t is no wonder that
the officers of the old Windham county
bank should have deemed such an oc
casion worthy of commemoration.-

The Vermont State Fair.

The present prospect of the annual
fair of the Vermont State Agricultural
society and Wool Growers association
to be held at Rutland the second week
i'll September, are far more encourage
ing for a large and successful e.hibi-
ton than for several years. The pre-
miums in the various departments
have been revised, and in most instan-
ces increased. The exhibition of stock
will he larger than usual, bringing to-
gether the best the state affords. The
horses presented will make a display
worthy of the just fame of the state.
The floral department, including the
exhibition of the celebrated florist of
Rochester, Mr.. Wick, will exceed any
thing the people of the state have ever
witnessed. The mechanical depart
ment vii present for the inspection of
the visitor larger collection of the
useful articles than have heretofore
been seen.
The exhibition is to he held on the
cOmmodious and well located grounds
of the Rutland County Agricultural So
ciety, south of the village of Rutland.
which is skirted by the Rutland and
Harlem Extension railroads. Trains
Will he run for the convenience of those
visiting the fair grounds at moderate
fare. thus avoiding the usual annoy
ance of hacks and carriages at cxtor-
tlonate rates of fare. The buildings.
sheds and appurtenances are sufficient
ly ample to meet all the requirements
of exhibitors. Rutland has hotel ac
cOmmodations for large number of
guests. and no efforts will he spared on
the part of landlords and the citizens
of Rutland to make agreeable arrange
ments for all who come. The central
location of the fair, the earnest efforts
of the directors, combined. cannot fail
to make the twenty-third annual exhi-
bition the largest and most successful
vet held in the state.
Parties desiring the pamphlet con-
tanning the premium list and regula-
tions, can obtain them by addressing
Henry Clark, Rutland.

A Little Fun with Hopkins.

Some years ago a new fire company
was organized at Reading. and the
members one evening thought they
would have little innocent fun at the
expense of Hopkins. their President.
They decided to rush around with the
engine to Hopkins house after dark, to
throw up their ladders. pull out their
hose, climb on his roof and scare him
with the belief that his dwelling was
on fire. But that very day Hopkins
moved out of the house, and a Preshy-
terrain Clergyman moved in. without
the company being aware Ofthe change.
\ SO about : o'clock the humorists dash
ed ont aud went through all the move
ments, getting on the roof and splash
ing water around, and creating ter
rifle disturbance generally. A rival
campauy noticing what was going on.
also hurried to the scene, and without
understanding the joke, attached their
hose to plug. smashed in the front
windows, and began to empty n two
inch stream on the family of that Pres
byterian clergyman. They squirted
into all the rooms, split all the window
shutters with an axe, broke down the
front door. ran ont the furniture. tore
off the shingles. and hawled through
trumpets until the hired girl had con-
vulsions on the kitchen stairs. The
first company tried to explain, but the
newcomers thought an effort was be-
ing made to get them out of the way
and fight ensued, and presently fire
men were sliding off the roof. and pelt-
ing down the chimneys. and bleeding
over the entry carpet, and having bois-
ferrous encounters with spanners and
brass horns on the stairs. And the
next morning that Presbyterian divine
and his family moved out. They said
the place seemed to he too animated and
sensational for quiet domestic circle.
They wanted house where there was
more calmness and peace: where they
could have more security for their pri-
vacy and pianos, and for their front
doors and shingles. and peace of mind
and window sashcs.-.HdT Adeldr.
PURSUIT OF RATTLESNAKE'S GREASE
UNDER DIFFICULTIES.-Jose Hulse,
a wood-chopper on Storm King mount
ain, at Cornwall, y. Y, encountered a
rattlesnake, recently. and wanting one
for friend who had rheumatism, and
who believed that snake grease is a
cure for it, he chased the snake. which
took refuge in a wood pile. Hulse
seized him 10y the back of the neck, but
so far from the head that it contrived
to turn and plant one of its fangs in the
index finger of his right hand. Hulse
held fast to his snake. nevertheless.

half an hour in looking for white ash
leaves, which are believed to be an an

to suit him. however. and started for
Cornwall. lie WAS bitten at seven. and
