tailed upon the land, which when first
broken. up produced twenty-five bushels
per acre, whereas now It scarcely ex-
ceeds half that amount. Poor fences
that suffer cattle to destroy young crops
not onl occasion loss but prevent the
realization of income that might other
wise be reasonably expected. Every
pound of poor butter that is made is an
expense Of just the difference between
the value of good butter and the poor
stuff, that might be saved: Then there
is the loss of time. Time is money,
and no economical man will waste it.
Yet how many there are who are ready
to cry out against extortions that they
can't prevent, who think nothing Of the
foYr weeks time spent in putting up
hay that was lost afterwards for lack of
just few burrows necessary to turn
the fire, or destroyed for want Of a little

John Parker Hale was born on the
31st of March, 1906. He graduated
at Bowdoin College in 1927, was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1880, and almost
Immediately became prominent in poll
tics. In 1892 he was a member of
the state Legislature; from 1884 until
1912 he was district attorney for the
state, then for three years member Of
Congress, afterward in the legislature

the United States senate. At the close
of his first term in 1858, he failed Of

years afterward and retained his seat

of our history. He left the senate in
1865 and subsequently, accepted the po-
sition of minister to Spain. where he

Death of Gov. Yates.

Richard Yates, the war governor of
Illinois, died at St. Louis last Thurs
day. He was educated at Illinois Coll
eye, choosing the law as a profession.
He filled several prominent positions in
state government, and was elected to
congress in 1S51,-,53. He became
an earnest anti-slavery man, and was
n Of the. foremost representatives of
the republican movement in the organ
ixation of that party. In 1860 he was
elected governor Of Illinois, a trying
period requiring just such a man as
Dick. Yates to hold the helm amid the
turbulent water sthat threatened to over
whelm the Ship of State. At the close
of his gubernatorial term he was elected
to the u. S. Senate, succeeding the
Hon. William A. Richardson who had
been elected to fill the vacancy caused
by the death Of Senator Douglass.
Gov. Yates was a grand Executive.
From his hand Pres't Grant r%eceiv-
ed the commission that made him a col
onel Of Illinois volunteers. Governor
Yates was a mar Of SPLENDID talents;
as an orator he ranked with Clay,
Webster and Marshall. One Of the
most brilliant men of the period; his
later life was clouded and abaseJ.
Let US draw the vail of charity over
his trailties, and look only upon the
grand and noble in his character.

The Virginius Matter.

Three weeks g the nation was fired
with Indignation at the capture of the
Virginius, and the inhuman butchery
of those on board the illfated vessel.
AS was natural, a cry went up all over
the land for immediate and summary
retribution. The n. Y. Herald, and
Chicago Tines, particularly, were in
tensely patriotic, SO much so, that the
latter journal appeared by contrast, to
have been exceedingly reasonable ten
years ago.
Notwithstanding the pressure upon
the administration which would seem
to have almost forced it to declare war
lust SO soon as Congress should con-
vene, 1t has bravely withstood the
clamor of wrathful sentiment, and by
q system of diplomacy grand in its
blending of mercy with justice, an
amicable adjustment of the difficult
ties growing out of the capture and
subsequent executions has been made,
without compromising the dignity of
the nation, or humiliating the govern
ment of Spain. Spain is beholding
the dawn of a brighter day, and as the
clouds Of superstition roll away she
seeks to establish a Republic, Castel-
lar, imbued with republican ideas looks
toward the model republic over the
sea and would build for coming gencr-
atoms. The Madrid Government
burns with Indignation at the indigni-
ty inflicted By a subordinate govern
ment upon her ~staunchest friend. Ne
gotiations pending, are brought to a
conclusion, and the following are the
terms of settlement agreed upon by
the two powers -
First-1mmediate delivery to the
United States of the ship Virginius
and all surviving passengers and crew.
Second-Salute to our flag on Dec.
IS, unless in the meantime Spain shall
satisfy the United States that the
American flag was improperly borne on
that vessel, and further, that she had
no right to the American flag or Amer
lean papers in this event the salute is
to be spontaneously withdrawn, and
Spain to formally disclaim any intent
and indignity Of the flag in the acts
committed by Spain against the Vir-
ginius.
Third-If it be then shown she had
nc right to carry the American flag and
papers, the United States will institute
proceedings against the vessel and the
surviving parties who have violated the
laws of the United States, and Spain
guarantees to institute proceedings
against her authorities who violated
either law Or treaty.
Fourth-The matter Of reclamations
for damage is reserved for future con.
sideratioR In addition to the above.
it can also be stated positively thai
within the next two days Secretary
Fish and the Spanish Minister will de.
termine the port at which the Virgini
us and the surviving passengers and
Grew are to be delivered to the United
States.

The HoosAC TrNNEL-The grand
est work Of any century was consum
mated last week in the opening of the
Hoosac tunnel. The work was begun
thirty years ago, Gigantic Obstacles
have been encountered and overcome.
Its cost has been SIS, 600, 900, and 135
lines have been sacrifsed in its accom-
plishment. It's length through the
solid granite of the Hoosac Mountains
is nearly five miles, and the last ex-
plosiVe charge rending the vail of
rock was $50 pounds of nitro-glycer-
inc exploded by electricity. 1t is the
grandest triumph Of the welded twain,
Science and Art.
ANOTHER DISASTER AT SEA-The
steamer Vile du Hare. OF the french
line collided with the English steamer,
La Locherne, in mid ocean on the 23d
inst. The loss of life is fearful, 256
drowning, many being members of the
Evangelical Alliance. returning to
their homes. Eighty-seyen are reported
saved.

chosen to represent The East and The West"
one i a view in The White Mountains. New
Hampshire; the other gives The Cliffs of Green

Scarlet Feyer!!-The above is a

attention of nearly every individual in
this community during the last twelve
weeks. When it first made its appear

selves upon the fact, that cold weather
was lea at hand, and that that would
put a stop to it. Cold weather came,
and with it, the deep SHOWS. But the
disease still ragged, and seemed to gath
er fresh strength. [ need not mention
the fearful mortality caused by it.
This has been to clearly seen in the
number of little graves newly made
the frequency of the hearse on the
street; the maey little collins finding
their way to different homes: and the
tears shed, and the sorrow experienced
in those homes stand as witnesses of its
devastations.
Neither is its work accomplished yet.

the principal physicians in the place,
that the complaint seems to be on the
increase.
One of them informed me, that it
was now over-reaching the boundary of
childhood, and attacking youths and
young people.
That bein1 the case, who can tell
where it will stop. Cannot something
be zone to prevent its onward march,
more than is being done? Let us see ,

Bupa Vista to Ployer, a distance of
six or eight miles. to take care of some

After a short time she returned home,
and in eight or nine days thereafter,
her children came down with the same
disease. And at that time there was
not another family who had been visit

physicians tells me that he knows of

To SPoRTsMEN.-An English ex-
change impresses the following as
golden rules" on the minds of all
sportsmen, in order to prevent some
of the yearly accidents which occur
from the careless handling of firearms.
1. Never load or leave aIoaded gun
in the house.
2. Never carry gun in position
that if it went off accidentally it would
injure any one.
3. Never carry gun cooked when
scrambling through hedge or leaping
ditch.
a. Never lean gun loosely against
a tree or wall, as if it falls or is sud-
denly moved away, it is liable to go
off.
5. Never, in sport, point toward an
other loaded or Rnloaded piece OF
firearms.
BY strictly adhering to these rules
many serious accident would be
avoided.

hole the size of q bottle cork in the
center of the bottom.- Put wooden
tub twelve inches smaller into il, so
that it will not touch the edge Of the
butt, within six inches all around it.
Fill up the space with pounded char
coal put two pieces of wood under
the center tub when it is placed in the
butt, and fit a cover with a handle
tightly TO if. Arrange the hooks
around the tub, on which to hang fish
or meat, etc. Fill a bag two feet
square with pounded charcoal to lay
over the cover OF the inner tub, and fit
a cover to the outside one. Bury it
four-fifths of its height in the cellar,
which must be dry wet ground will
not keep it fresh. Fill the inner tub
one third full of ice, which will not
need to be-renewed oftener than once
a month. A hole similar to the one
bored in the outer tub should be made
in the inner to carry off the moisture.
Keep the whole closely covered, and
you will have miniature ice house
which will preserve fish, flesh and
fowl for long time.
