The LATEST EQUINE DIsTEAfPER.
For the past two months, the new mala-
dy among the horses known as a spe-
cies of hoof-rot, has been more or less
prevalent in this vicinity, though the
climax OF its extent was reached a week
ago, since which time there has been no
increase. There is no particular danger
to be feared from the disease, provided
the animals are properly taken care of
from the time the infection first appears,
In its early stages it bears quite strong
resemblance to the scratches. and is
really no more difficult to cure. The
trouble arises from the fact that the
drivers have not given their animals
the proper treatment. Many teamsters
have the idea that if they do ANYTHING
at all, that it is first necessary to wash
the parts affected. This they proceed
to do with soap suds, after which they
apply some kind of a poultice and then
wonder why the horse does not get well
The trouble is that the first idea is wrong
For this particular disease, the feet
should be kept dry and the horse should
be kept in the stable. The disease some
times makes its appearance when there
has been no wound or scratch on the
horses feet, though more generally it
results from bruising of the flesh. An
irritant for the feet of diseased animals.
which is used in spite of the affection,
IS found in the salt, which, in defiance
OF the law, is, during the winter season,
spread upon the street to clear them of
snow and ice. At present the majority
OF cases are among team horses, some
of which are kept at work Most of
them, however, are under treatment,
and the disease is believed to be on the
decrease. The advent of dry weather
will doubtless do away with it altogeth-

CURIosITIEs IN THE Flow OF SAP
Mr. Edward Phelps, living near Burling-
ton, has just given us the result of a dis
covery, recently made by him, of some
facts which are probably new to most if
not all of those who work among trees.
The experiments frequently tried by him,
as related in the Witness, are as follows /:
In the time of the flow of sap, take a
fresh green sapling or limb of birch. or
some wood which flows sap freely, of
about the diameter of the auger hole
made in tapping maple tree, and clear
off the bark for half an inch from one
end, and drive or press it into the auger
hole, so that the shoulder of the bark of
the green stick will fit against the bark
of the tree, as in grating. Then set a
bucket under the other extremity of the
limb or sapling, which is also cut off,
and the sap will be found dropping from
the end farthest from the tree, almost
instantaneously, no matter what may be
the length of the stick; and it will con
tinue to run as long as the days run of
sap continues, and as fast as through a
common spout.
In this way he has brought sap from
different trees into the same bucket. In
using a birch stick, and tasting the first
which was yielded, he found it to have a
birch taste, and concludes that the maple
sap, when commencing to find its way
through the stick, as soon as it is insert
ed in the tree, instantly moves the whole
body of the birch sap until it is exhaust
ed, when the maple sap runs as freely
through its new medium as it did in the
original tree.

She Would be n Mason

The funniest story ever heard,
The funniest thing that ever occurred,
Is the story of Mrs. Mehitab1e Byrde,
Who wanted to be Mason.
Mer husband, Tom Byrde, is Mason true,
As good Mason as any of you.
He Is Tyler of Lodge Cerulean Blue,
And tiles and delivers the summons due,
And she wanted to be q Mason too:
This ridiculous Mrs. Byrde.
she followed him round, this inquisitiye
wife,
And nabbed him and leased him half out
of his life.
So. to terminate this unhallowed strife,
He consented at last to admit her.
At first, to disguise her from bonnet and
This ridiculous lady resolved to put on,
His breech-ah forgive mel meant pam
And miraculously did they fit her.
The Lodge was at work in the Masters De-
The light was ablaze on the letter G.;
High scared the pillars j. and 3.
The officers sat like solomon, wise,
The birthstone burned amid horrid cries :;
The goat roamed wildly through the room,
The candidate begged 'em to let him go
And the devil himself stood up in the east
As proud as an alderman at feast;
When in came Mrs. Byrde.
oh. horrible sound oh, horrible sight!
Can it be that Masons take delight
In spending thus the hours of night?
Ali could their wives and daughters
The llnutterable things they say and do,
Their feminine hearts would burst with
woe;
But this is not all my sad story.
For those Masons joined in hideous ring,
The candidate bowling like everything,
And thus in tones of death they sing
ia candidates. MOTpV-
"Blood to drink and bones to crack,
Skulls to smash and lives to take;
Hearts to crush and souls to burn
Give old Morey another turn,
And make him all grim and CORY"
Trembling with horror stood Mrs. Byrde,
Unable to speak q single word;
She staggered, and fell in the nearest
chair,
On the left of the Junior Warden there,
And scarcely noticed, so loud the groans,
That the chair was made of human bones.
OF thurman bonesl On grtnning skulls
That CHASTITY throne OF horror rolls;
Those skulls, the skulls that Morgan bore
Those bones, the bones that Morgan wore
Hisscalp across the top was flung
His teeth around the arms were strung
Never in all romance were known
Such uses made of human gore.
The birthstone glared in lurid flame,
just like place we will not name;
Good angels, that inquiring came
From blissful courts, looked up with
shame
And fearful melancholy.
Again they dance, but twice as bad
They jump and sing like demons mad
The tune is Hunkey-Dorey-
''Blood to drink" &c, &c.
Then came pause-a pair of paws
Reached through the floor, up sliding
doors,
And grab the unhappy candidatc
How can l, without tears, relate
The lost and ruined Morey's fate?
She saw him sink in a fiery hole
She heard him scream, "My soul! my
soul ~
While roars of fiendish laughter roll
And drown the yells of mercy!
''Blood to drink" &C., &c.
The ridiculous woman could stand no
more,
She tainted and fell on the checkered floor,
Midst all the diabolical roar.
What then, you ask me, did befall
Mehitable Byrde Why, nothing at all
She dreamed she had been in the Masons'
hall.

WAKE UP THE SYSTEM.

When the physical energies droop and
the mind becomes lethargie, it may be ta-
ken for granted that the digestion is inn
paired and the liver derelict in its duty.
Upon the condition of the stomach and
liver depend the condition of the blood,
and upon the quality of that fluid depends
the yigor of the body and the capacity for
brain labor. 1t is, therefore, of the utmost
importance to men engaged in active pur-
suits, who are subject to attacks of bodily
weakness and mental stupor OF indiffer-
ence, to know from what source they can
obtain immediate and permanent relief.
The tonic and anti-bilious stimulating ele-
ments combined in Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, peculiarly adapt that genial prep
aration to cases of this kind. The rapid
tv with which it arouses the dormant pow
ers of the muscular and nervous system, Is
marvellous. Acting first upon the diges-
tive organs, and through them upon the
fluids of the body, the nerves and the
brain, it renovates, refreshes and regu-
Iates, not only the corporal powers, but
the mind itself. As debility and its usual
concomitant, mental torpor or depression,
are often caused, and where they already
exist, are always aggravated by the damp
and variable weather prevalent in the
spring months, persons of feeble stamina
and weak nerves, should go through a
course of this agreeable stimulant at this
season, and indeed would derive great ad-
vantage from taking it at least once day
throughout the year.

WASHINGTON, March 81, 1873
Editor Rutland Herald = Even in
these dull times, events crowd so fast
upon eachaothers' heels that, in glancing

besides taking care of her insane hus-
band and doing the work in her family,
including sewing, knitting, etc. How
is that for industry?
In November, 1872, at a meeting
called for that purpose, the town of
Springfield voted to bond the town to
the extent of five times the grand list, or
about $50, 900, to aid in the construction
of the Ascutney railroad. Three COM
missioners were appointed. At their
annual March meeting the town voted to
rescind the former vote, and the select
men were instructed to pay and dismiss
the commissioners and then close the
proceedings; and now public opinion is
divided as to which vote will govern the
matter.

negroes swore to having done certain
work for a steamer. The mate and
eleven other men swore as positively to
the contrary. The judge declared that
