If you spend three cents q week
for gum it amounts to $l.56 a year,
or in sixty-seven years to S1O4.52.
That sum will buy a complete set

RE UNION OF VERMONT VETE-
RAMS. Below we give some of the
instructions issued by Gen. Stan.
nard, who is to command the camp
Of Veterans at Burlington, August
25th.
The men will bring their blankets,
and will supply themselves with
rations by bringing them from
home, or by procuring them in
Burlington. Any one by sending
acquisitions for meat, bread, coffee,
sugar and other rations to Maj. A.
Austin, Burlington, will be supplied
at cost price. The Quartermaster
General of the State, Gen. Lynde,
will furnish tents, and camp will
be prepared, and the straw and fuel
furnished without charge. No as
sessment to defray the camp ex-
penses will be made, the same be-
ing provided with warm meals at
reasonable rates.
On assembling, quarters will be
assigned in regimental order, and,
so far as is practicable, it is expect
ed that the old regimental organiza-
tons will be preserved.
Remember, this is to be a general
reunion Of all soldiers residing in

particular rank, regiment or organ

ton to the Adjutsnt General, in

Supplementary circulars will be
issued from time to time, to keep
every one informed of the prelimin.

dentaly expected that the forthcom m

aThe prospects for crop at hand, says the Chronicle,
are of the brightest, thanks to the heavy season we
have passed through, and the too.large amount of
standovers left from May. We hope to see a some
what larger proportion of white or .~yellowish crys-
tails next season, but regret TO say that few of our
proprietors have as yet made the necessary arrange.
ments for abandoning their old-class browns. Sever
al estates have begun grinding this week, the weather
and the roads being SO favorable, working of course
on the standovers, and heavy canes they must be.
We have seen many very long and stout ones in
town, fair samples of hundreds, perhaps VIZ might
say thousands Of tons in the great cane quarters.
With Mr.. Russeli's additional 25 per cent. in juice,
with Stewards cheap defeating process, yielding
bright white Tor with management, canary-tinted)
crystals, with the heavy crop now in the fields, a
good season, and current favorable prices we might
have double value in rs to what we. obtained this
year, and even without Stewart and Russell to day,
we have a fair hope of making so per cent. more.

An old-fashioned Mother and Reformed
Boy.

Some time ago, Mrs Buckelby, who
lives over in Berrien county, Mich, di-
rected her son Samuel, lad of IA years,
to take turn at the churn. Now as
Samuel had set his heart on going fish
ing at that very time he ''got his back
up" and fatty refused to agitate the
cream. The curvature was promptly ta
ken out of his spine by slipper, and,
with tears in his eyes" he went on duty
with the dasher, In about half an hour,
and during the brief absence of his moth
er, his eyes fell upon plate of fly poison,
and bright, smart thought struck him
Just before Mrs. B. came in, Samuel
put the fatal platter to his face, and as
she entered he put the poison from
his lips with the dramatic exclamatio
There, mother. l guess you won lick
me no morel
Now what did this Spartan dame do !?
Did she shrek for doctor and fall into
Mysteries? Not much. She simply took
Samuel by the nape of the neck, lifted
him deftly into the pantry beat the
whites of six eggs together, and told him
to engulf the same instanter; he refus-
ing she called the hired girl and in a
twinkling Sam found himself outside the
albumen. Then Mrs B. began preparing
a mustard enetic. Seeing this, Sam s
pluck dissolved, and he commenced beg
ging, crying:
"I was only tryin' to skeer ye."
But the stern mother was not to be
softened, and Sam hid to swallow the
mustard. He was then forced to take a
dose Of pain-killer, and had his back
rubbed with "Vigor of Life" and his
stomach with the "Oil of Gladness." !"
This being over, he took seven Ayers
pills, two spoonfuls of castor oil, tea
spoonful of salts, and blue pill And

boy in Michigan, just say "fy-poison" to

Professor Marsh imagined a particular

another person. Brown spelled it out at
once by pointing to the respective letters
in an alphabet written on blackboard.
The venerable Ex-President Woolsey
concealed coin under some books, but
his mind was probably hazy for Brown
could not quite find it, though he came
near the spot But when put en- rapport
with a younger man, Professor Whitney,
Brown Immediately found the coin. Pro-
fessor Brewer placed tape measure in a
distant apartment; Brown promptly
went, blind-folded, to the place and found
the article. Professor Fisher gave pen
Gil case to Professor Johnson, who gave
it to Professor Thacher, who concealed
the article. Brown led the latter direct
ly to the spot, and found the pencil case.
Professor Lyman held a paper on which
words were written by Professor Fisher,
and, blind-folded. Brown spelled the
words without difficulty! Having wit
messed so many of these curious expert
ments, it is to be hoped that the learned
professors of Yale will be able to explain
how they are done.-Scientyfc American
