BURNING KEROSENE. We wish to
call the attention of all consumers of
kerosene oil to the pernicious and I'M
healthy practice of using lamps filed
with that article with the wicks turned
down. The gas which should be con-
sumed by the flame is by this means left
heavily in the air, while the cost of the
oil thus saved at the present prices would
be scarce one dollar year for the lamps
of a household. A large family of chill
dren in the country were taken i'll one
night, and on going to the nursery the
mother found the whole room nearly suf-
locating with lamp turned nearly out,
whereupon the doctor forbade the use of
lamp at night unless harmed at full
head. A girl was subject to FITS Of faint
ness, which if not induced were greatly
increased by sleeping in the room with
the lamp turned almost out. Besides
the damage to health, it spoils the paper
and curtains, soils the mirrors and win
dows and gives the whole house an I'M
tidy and unwholesome odor.

Mr., Smalley, Of Burlington, suggested
that this bill was designed to reduce the
price of game and fish to the gentleman
from Glover.
MIR, Munson, of Manchester, favored
the passage of the bill, as being necessary
to protect this class of game, which was
becoming the prey of lazy and shiftless
men to such an extent as to threaten
their entire extinction. He could see no
constitutional objection to the bill, and
hoped it would pass.
Mr.. Bemis, of Dummerston, said New

A VERY NARROW EsCAPE.-On Mon
day, the 26th ult., the mayor and city
council of Terra Haute, Ind, we're in
side a new six-foot sewer in that city on
visit of inspection, and had advanced
to considerable distance from theopen-
ing when they we're suddenly arrested
by the presence of quantity of steam.
A speedy exit was made, and ithas since
been learned that the blow-of pipe of a
hominy mill opens into the sewer, from
which pipe the steam had been discharg-
ed. 1t happened that the city fathers
were in the sewer at the hour for shut
ting off the steam 10 the MILL and the
engineer, unaware of their presence in
the sewer, had started to let out steam,
but found something the matter with the
valve. This delayed the operation and
gave the officials time to retreat, other
wise their deaths would have been GER
tain, as the deluging of the sewer with
hot steam at hundred pounds pressure
from three large boilers, wovld have left
no chance for escape with life.

ARTIFICIAL BUTTER. but
ter, made Of tallow, butter, coloring
matter, and few other ingredients in
small proportions, is becoming quite an
important article in trade. Large fac.
tories are in operation in Hamilton, Can
ada. and other places. The proprietors
use about fifty pounds of the very best
milk to every two hundred pounds of
suet oil, and churn it an hour by steam
power; it is afterwards cooled in watts,
and then worked by single lever until
all milk is removed and the salt is work
cd in, when it is packed with ladies' in
tubs. The butter is as clean as that of
the diaries, and with the exception Of q
slight taste of tallow, which remains af,
ter the substance has melted, cannot be
distinguished from the genuine article
except By experts. Experiments are be,
ing made to remove this taste. 1t il
found that this butter can be sold all tbs
way from 16 to % cents per pound. The
assertion is made that it has already
come into use in many first class hotel,
and restaurants. fthe invention prove,
satisfactory to the public, it will be {
great advantage.

LYING ABOUT THE GRANG ERs. Dep
uty d. E. Boyden writes to the st. Johns.
bury Farmer as follows: The most
astounding lies have been circulated
throughout Southern Vermont, mostly by
commercial runners, (traveling tramps,
concerning the grangers-of their fail
ure, OF the dishonesty Of grange agents,
Of numerous carloads of -four received
by grangers at q cost far above the usual
retail price and of so poor quality that
the members of the oranges could neith-
err eat it nor give it away, that the
grange at johnson, Vt, had given up its
charter and denounced the State grange,
that an agent Of Rutland grange had
gone to Boston with fifteen thousand dol
lars to purchase goods and absconded
with the money. A hotel keeper at
Wardsboro named Asahel Watson told
roe he knew that was fact for man
from Rutland, whom he could trust had
50 informed him, and that [ k,,eav 1t and
lied when | contradicted it to the farm
ers; that the grange at Ludlow had been
badly swindled and was broken up in
consequence. A commercial runner is
also instructing all the opponents of the
grange that no firm in the cities will in
the future sell single bill of goods to
the 2. of H., nor manufacturers deal
with them further, hence their collapse
is at hand. In spite of all this leagued
opposition the work goes bravely on and
l am able to organize from two to foul
oranges per week, composed largely Of
the best farmers in the towns, and hope
to continue to succeed to do so during
the coming winter. Never fail is my
motto, and thus far have organized il
erery town have visited during the pas
year. There are one hundred and FORTY
oranges in Vermont to-day, and before
spring opens | hope to see two hundred
and fifty organizations, in spite of al
our enemies. Battle on bravely for tn,
right. and our cause shall never fall i

for equal rights and justice to all.

Heavy Train Robbery.

TORONTO, Ont, Nov. IA.
AS the express train of the Great
Western railway was leaving Port Cred
it station, a few miles east of this city,
about FIVE o'clock last evening, FIVE
masked men boarded her. After I'M
fastening the bell cord, they bound and
gagged the baggage master. Then they
entered the apartments of the American
Express Company, whose messenger they
gagged, blindfolded and handcuffed.
They took the keys of the safe from him
and secured from $4,000 to 4O,400.
The robbers remained on the train until
it reached Queens wharf, in the western
part of this city.

DIPTHERIA IN New YoRK.--The prev
alence Of dip!heria 10 New York has ex-
cited some alarm, by the large increase
The number of cases for the year ending
July 4, 1873, was 979; and during the
year ending July 4, 1874, the number
rose to 2152, of which 1874 were fatal
Latterly the condition Of affairs has been
still worse. In the week ending Oct "a
there were 50 deaths from this cause
and in The week following los. This
last aggregate is sixteen times the aver
age mortality of London from the same
cause. The New York Times states thai
the disease has attained the proportions
of a genuine pestilence, and urges the
Importance of subjectipg its causes to a
thorough and scientific investigation.

A SOCIAL PIG.-Just out of New
York city dwells thrifty couple whose
great love is for pork. A pig is raised
yearly. Many children would be glad
of the care and attention paid to the in
mate of the pen. The man and his wife
took journey, and were gone three
days. On the way home-ffteen miles
away-the couple saw at the fork of the
roads small pig that had wonderful
ly familiar look. The animal stood
waiting for the wagon, facing the corners.
The pig gave grunt of recognition and
made dash for the horse. He soon got
entangled in the running gear and
brought things to stand STILL Satisfied
that the young porker was his own, the
man lifted him into the wagon. The
pig cuddled down and went to sleep, and
lay stiller than child. He woke up as
the wagon neared the house, leaped out
and ran for his pen. 1t turned out that
be had been stolen and carried twenty
miles into the country. He made his
escape and was homeward bound when
he spied his old friends and got lift in
the wagon.
