A CASE OF LEAD POIsoNING-DEATu OF
One OF THE VIcTiMs.-Reccnt invcstiga-
ton proves that the death of Wm Ii.
% Young, of Wardsboro, which occurred
January last, was caused by the use Of
vinegar im~pregnated with the acetate of
lead. Mr.. Young was in poor health for
some months previous TO his deceasc, and
other members Of the family have at
times, and more particularly of late,
manifested serious symptoms, which were
vageuly suspected to be the result of lead
poison. A short time since, DR.. G. A,
3 Gray, Of Brattleboro, was called to visit
one Of the members of the family child,
whose symptoms, identical with those of
Mr.. Young, he regarded as Enthusiastically
produced by lead poison. Samples ofthc
water and vinegar in use by the family
were taken to Brattletoro and tested,
when the vinegar was found to yield a
precipitate Of lead. On examination it
was ascertained that the cask in which
the vinegar was kept was coated with the
poison. The cask. which was procured
from one of the Wardsboro merchants
two or three years ago, was used for keep
ing cider and vinegar. 1t is supposed to
have formerly contained paint or white
lead, and though cleansed in the usual
manner, still contained enough Of the
lead for the acid Of the vinegar to work
upon, producin that deadly poison
known as the acetate of sugar of lead.
at the time of the death of her husband,
Mrs. Young was also very low from the
same cause, having nearly lost of the use
of her limbs, and all the members of the
family have been more or less the victims
of this dreadful malady. We are in.
formed, however, that all arc now in a
fair way forrecoyery. -Bratsieboro Phenir

Give Your Child a Paper.

\ child beginning to read becomes de-
lighted with newspaper, bccaues he
reads OF names and things which are
familiar, and he will progress accordingly.
A newspaper in one year is worth a quar-
ter's schooling to child. Every father
must consider that information is connected
with advancement. The mother of family,
being one of its heads, and having a more
immediate charge of children, should herself
be instructed. \ mind occupied becomes
fortified against the ills of life, and is braced
for emergency. Children amused by read
ing or study are, of course, more considerate
and easily governed. How many thought
less young men have spent their earnings
in tavern or grop-shop who ought to have
been reading? How many parents who
have not spent twenty dollars for books for
their families, would have given thousands
to reclaim son or daughter who had
ignorantly thoughlessly, fallen into tempta-
ton,

A Queer Race Of Human Beings.

In the Journal Of the ARCHAEOLOGICAL
Institute Lieutenant Swinton G.. Holland,
X. n, gives an exceedingly interesting pa
per upon the Amos, or the supposed
aborigines of Yesso, SaghaIicn, Kunashir,
and the most of the Kurle Islands. AL
though in utter subjugation to the Japa-
nese they are distinct race in form, lang
uage, clothing, building, navigation, feasts,
and superstltlOns. The men are of middle
stature they carefully cultivate the beard
and moustache, never using knife or scis-
sors upon them. Their bodies are also
covered with coarse hair, growing proflsely
on the breast, arms and legs, and in some
cases over the backbone
Their only method of computing time is
by great events, as, for example the time
OF the great snow storm, the catching of
the big fish, &c. They preserve rough
record of their ancient history in songs
and tales. The mode of saluting among
the men is to rub the hands together, raise
them to the forehead palms up, and then
to stroke the beard. Among the women
the custom is to draw the first finger of
the right hand between the first finger and
the thumb of the left then to raise both
hands to the forehead, palms up then to
rub the upper lip under the nose with the
first finger of the right hand. When
man has been travelling and returns home
he and his friends lay their hands Oh each
other shoulders the elder of the two then
places his hands upon the head of the
younger, and strokes it down, gradually
drawing his hands over the shoulders, down
the arms, and to the very tips of the fng-
ers ofthe younger until this is done Meth

two or three years. They are then killed

Starting a Fire Oh a Damp Morning.

Many persons have often noticed the ex-
treme difficulty encountered in lighting the
fire in Il stove, especially on still, damp
morning. The stove at first won't draw
even vigorous blowing" will not suffice
and then when it does start, it is with a
sort Of explosion or outward rush Of air
which fills the room with smoke and gas,
oftentimcs putting the unpleasant fumes in
the face Of the operator. The trouble is
caused by the difficulty encountered in
overcoming the inertia of the long column
of air in the pipe or chimney, by the small
column Of air that can be forced up, through
the interstices Of the wood and coal, at the
bottom of which the fire is kindled. All this
may be remedied by simply putting Il few
shavings or bits Of dry paper on the top of
the wood or coal, and first lighting that. 1t
Immediately bursts into Il blaze, because
the air has perfectly free access to it from
all sides the heated air forces its way into
the chimeny, and establishes there an up
ward current The match can then be APP
piled to the kindling under the fuel, which
will readily light, and, if dry, burst into a
brisk fame.

A Secret for Farmers.

1t is worth knowing that every keeper
Of COWS may cause them to calve during
the day time, instead of night or day as it
may happen, causing much watching and
want of sleep. The simple mcthed is this:
When the COW is in calf, and the milk be-
ginning to fail, till she is about yelled, :"
let no milk be taken from her during the
day, or night, but milk her any time in the
morning, and let none be taken but in the
morning and when her time to calvc has
come she will drop her young in the day
time. Two of our friends have tried this
simple method and have found it correct
in every case. One who has eighteen COWS
has tried it these two years, and now they
never think of setting up at night.-FYe

Blowing 1t Out.

Judge Pitman's chimney has been foul
for some time, and when he mentioned the
fact at the drug store, Mr.. Squills said he
could easily clean it out by exploding a lit
tie powder in the Fireplace. The idea
seemed to Pitman to be good one and he
bought almost ten pounds of powder in
order to do the work thoroughly at the
first blast. The men were busy gravelling
his roof that day, and just as the Judge
was about to touch off the charge, work
man named Snyder, leaned over the top of
the chimney to call to the man below to
send up more tar. Then the Judge lit the
slow match The view which met the eve
OF Mr.. Snyder as he went up was fine
one, embracing as it did, Cape May and
Omaha and Constantinople and Baltimore
and the Sandwich Islands, and when he
got enough of drinking in the Scenery, he
came down in the river, apparently with
the intention of exploring the bottom
When he was fished out he was glad to
learn, not only that the Judges chimney
was thoroughly clean, but that it would
need about four cart loads of bricks to re-
pair damages. After this the Judge will
clean his fiues with bursh fastened to
clothes prop.

The Greatest Gun Ever Made.

The new cighty-ton gun is progressing
at Woolwich When finished, this mon
ster piece Of ordnance will be greater than
twice the size Of the largest gun in ex-
istence, and its destructive powers at fight
ing range proportionate With sixteen
inch projectile, weighing l $50 pounds, and
its maximum charge of 800 pounds of pow
der, it will pierce the best from plates,
twenty inches thick, at 500 yards, sixteen
inch plates at $500 yards, and will pitch a
sixteen-inch shell into a ship or fortress at
distance of IL, 300 yards. The steel block
forming the inner tube was the largest
ever cast, weighing over twelve tons, while
the trunnion-piecc, about eighteen tons,
was the largest forging ever produced at
the arsenal. The actual cost of this fearful
engine Of war will not fall far short of
SD .000.

Imparting Disease.

1t is not often that dogs are instrumen-
tai in the spreading of small-pox but an
instance showing how the dreaded disease
was impaired in this manner has just come
to light at Yonkcrs, n Y Not many hours
subsequent to the death of man named
Van Orden from the loathsome malady.
and which occurred in that city few days
since, neighbors dog found its way to the
bed from which the corpse had been re-
moved, and INDUCED in roll on the cover
ing On returning home the brute was
fondled by its mistress, the result being
that she soon afterwards developed unmis-
taxable symptoms Of the contagion. The
infectious dog was then summariy shot,
and the I.atient has since recovered. An
other illustration Of the facility with which
the pestilential disorder can be transmitted
may be cited in connection with the same
case. 1t seems that the wife of Van Or
den, fearing that the health officer would
order the clothing worn by her deceased
husband to be burned, concealed bundle
of it in the house of friend, and as "A con
sequence the latter was attacked with II
mild type of small -pox, which ultimately
yielded, however to prompt medical treat
ment.

Preparing For Death.

Tie West Chester Republican says: A
pauper in the Delaware county Almshouse
is so averse to being buried at the county
expense that for several years he has been
making skewcrs, which he sold to neigh
boring butchers. From means derived
from this source alone, he has purchased
burial lot in a church yard, and tomb
stone, with his name and other lettering
complete, save and except the date of death,
which he has stipulated is to be filed in at
the proper time. He has likewise deposited
sufficient money in the hands of lady at
Glen Riddle to purchase a coffin and pay
his other funeral expenses. VIM. Wasson
is the name of this singular individual.
