BAD FLouk CAUSE OF DISEASE.
Petersburg, Mich, has for some time
past been afflicted by an epedemlc OF
cerebro-spinal meningitis, and an inves-
tigation into the cause has been made
from which it appears that the prevail
ence of the disease is due to the presence
of some poison in the food of the peo-
pie. In connection with this matter it is
stated that experiments conducted many
wears ago showed that grain affected with
smut was capable of producing violent
illness, ergot of wheat proving even
more active than ergot of rye. The crop
of wheat raised in the vicinity Of Re.
tersburg last year contained much more
smut than usual, and it is possible that
bad flour has been the cause of the pre-
valent sickness.

A conductor on the Pennsylvania
Railroad tells the following At an east
ern station he received on board fine
looking specimen of an old country
gentleman. When he passed through
the cars the old gentleman handed up
his ticket, which was duly pun ched and
returned to him. After passing the next
call station, the conductor again called
for the old gentleman's ticket. He look.
ed up in surprise, and informed the
puncher of tickets that be had thrown
it out of the window. Why did you
do that?" asked the conductor. The
old man replied, Why, l thought il
you didn't want it. didn't" The fac.
of the old man was so honest. and hi
knowledge of railroad travelling evi
IDENTIFY so limited, that the conductor &C
cepted his word, and carried him to hi
destination.

The Boston Globe says the question OF
a third term for President Grant is set
tied. A New York Herald man has in
terviewed one of The Presidents boys,
who says that his father does not aspire
to Csesarism. The Herald has suffered
a great deal over this question. but this
last grand stroke of boldly and success
fully sounding Grant, Jr, on the mat
ter has brought the great work to final
close. The subject, as well as those who
have read the Herald articles on it, is
exhausted, and the country has now to
thank the bold man who has brought
about this happy termination of the
Herald's labor and the public anxiety.

STRANGE ADVENTURE IN EWING
The Reading, (Pa,) Eagle gives an
recount of frightful adventure of
young lady while swinging at picnic, a
few days since. She expressed wish to
swing as high as possible, and was enjoy
ing the sport greatly, when all at once,
as she rose to the height of fully thirty
five feet, her courage gave way and she
tainted. The momentum of the swing
tossed her apparently lifeless body into
a tree which stood thirty eight feet from
the tree to which the swing was attached.
BY some fortunate chance she was safely
lodged between two branches and there
remained until the gentlemen were able
to rescue her from her unpleasant condi-
ton. Two of the gentlemen assembled
the tree, passed rope around her body,
ami lowered her to the ground In safety.

Vermont Anti-Slavery Society.
FORTY YEARS AGO.

fohIi iEAho hoO'
Great moral revolutions move slowly.
The abolition of the British slave trade
was not accomplished till after thirty
years discussion Of its criminality by
English philanthropists. It required a
longer period of agitation of the slave
question, and finally the interposition of
recognized Divine Providence, to pre-
pare the American people to sustain the
principles of the emancipation procla-
nation by President Lincoln.
In the great current of events leading
to that result, the formation of the Yer
mont Anti Slavery Society, May |, 1884.
at Middlebury, may be noted as one
not unworthy our remembrance.
The convention, assembled at the
above named place, and for the above
named purpose, met April 80. Prayer
was made by Rev. James Milligan, of
Ryegate. COL Jonathan P. Miller was
called to preside temporarily, and Ed
ward ID. Barber to act as Secretary. The
following named persons were elected Of
fcers of the convention. President,
John Ide, Waterbury Vice Presidents,
iona. P. Miller, of Montpelier, Elisha
Bascomb of Shoreham, James Milligan
of Ryegate, and Roland T. Robinson of
Ferrisburg; Secretaries, G. L. Knapp of
Montpelier, and 0. S. Murray of Orwell.
Committees were appointed as follows
On the character of slavery in the South
ern States, Barber, Murray and Jones
on resolutions, Barber, Wilson, Robin.
son, Wescott and Murray to draft con
stitution, Miller, Bascomb, Hoag, An
gier, Milligan, Butler, Haskell, Wood
and Smith of Waitsfeld to draft al
address, Murray, Case and Barber.
The principles embodied in the resolu
lions were mainly these: That slavery
was anti-Christian and anti Republican
immediate emancipation, remedy be
ing recognized by the United States Con
stitution, the nation is responsible for it
continuance; the legislative control 0
the subject, except in the District Q
Columbia and the territories, is veste
in the State legislatures, and citizens {
free States can only labor for corret
national sentiment, which may infuenc
shareholders to emancipate.

Society: John Ide, President Vic

MEDICINE TO KEEP IN THE HOUSE.
Every house should have vial of
cholera medicine during the summer
months. Perhaps the missionary Ham,
Inns is as good as any. At any rate he
found it invaluable during the cholera
scourge through which be passed. 1t
consists of equal parts tinctures opium,
camphor, rhubarbi Dose for adult,
twenty to thirty drops, and repeat every
four hours until pain and diarrhea cease.
This is medicine for common summer
complaint as we'll. A flannel bandage
about the abdomen is invaluable.
