We misunderstood our informant
as to MIR. White breaking his arm so
severely last week. 1t was simply a
dislocation of the elbow joint. We
hope the secrets of our allopathc
and homeeopatic friends in bone
setting is not 'muchly divulged" by
the item as published. If they will
agree to let us off this time we will
never say word in these columns
about them again-unless they pro-
duce "facts' and "scrip." There was
no counsel on the subject, DR..
Richmond twitched the bone into
place at the request of parties inter-
ested. 'Let us have peace"

There are few old wells of hu.
mainly in every community who flat
ter themselves that they are working
up muscle by christian work, in
circulating scandal, but their subject
is, in nearly every case, better than
themselves. Oh, that christians
could have more charity toward en-
ring nature. Let him that standeth
take heed lest he fall. Why boasteth
thyself of to day, whcn thou knowest
not what the morrow NAV bring
forth When John Bunyan was
walking along with another clergy
man. he met in the streets Il man
staggering and swearing in his drunk
enness, "see there" said Bunyan,
'there goes John Bunyan. except for
the grace of God !"

beds" before the troops bagged 'em.

A dirty item in the Boston Herald
Of April 25th is not credited in this
community. No other daily paper in
Boston heard oft. If there was any
foundation for it, the account ismdgni-
fed to make the paper sell. The

there is no such name on the
Church Records of priests and deacons.
We are glad to publish the follow
ing from the Holyoke Transcript Of
April rs, handed us by Mr.. LA Miller,

THE "FAIRFAx' CoLT.-Deacon K.
S. Towards two year old colt, "Fair-
fax which died last Monday night,
was purchased by him last summer,
from Hon. FREDERICK BILLINGS, OF
Woodstock, VT, by whom the colt
was raised from his celebrated "Mor-
rill" horse "Woodstock," that being
the name of the town in which he
lived, the colt taking the name "Fair
fax" from the town in Virginia whence
his dam was brought by an army
officer in the late war; The young
animal was as fine a specimen Of horse
flesh as has been brought to this region
promising from his ancestry and build
to be of excellent speed. His coat
was soft jet black, and his DISPOSE
ton without a fault he could be
taught anything readily, obeyed cal
and gave either foot at command
The horse has never been offered fol-
sale, but we presume $500 would moi
have bought him.
