BRATTLEBoRo.

The editors and printers of Brattle-
boro, took trip to Lake Pleasant, on
Saturday.
A five days encampment of the mill
tia of this State, is to be held at Brattle-
boro, the last week in August.
A torch-light procession is among the
things projected, during the soldiers re-
union.
The Brattleboro band have entered to
take part in the Brass Band concert to
take place at Lake Pleasant, Mass, July
30th. The bands secured comprise total
of $50 pieces and there is every prospect
of an immense noise.
A man from Athol, Mass, stopped at
the Brattleboro House few nights since,
and on retiring, blew out the gas, instead
of turning it off. Mr.. james Fisk, was
disturbed by a pungent smell and rose to
find the cause. He found the room from
whence it came and reused a clerk, who
effected an entrance into the room OF
the sleeper, who was wakened with some
difficulty, and but for which he might
have lost his life. He supposed Of
course that he had left everything all
right, but these occurrences are so fire
auent. that it seems that brief direction
should be placed near every gas burn
er in the sleeping rooms of public
house indeed we remember once to have
seen such in a public house, two or thre'
years since.

Water in Food.

One of our best writers on agricultu
raj subjects. Mr.. Alexander Hyde, in dis
cusSing the subject of roots, says:
1t is objected sometimes to roots that
: they contain from 80 to 90 per cent of
water. 1t il true that they contain this
large amount of water. but this Is no OBJ
lection to their list. Most of the natur
al food of all animals contains a large
per cent of water, and where it is not
naturally present i'll sufficient quantity,
water is added to prepare 1t for asslm
ilation. The dry flour from which we
make our bread contains Ii per cent of
water and II per cent of solid matter.
and when it is made into bread we add
ID pei cent more water: so that with
every 100 pounds of bread we consume.
we take GG pounds of water or tea with
/ which we can dilute it us we eat. Lean
beef contains - per cent of water. and
blood full as much water us is con-
tanned i'll the potato, which has only 30
/ per cent water. Eggs also contain ~
| per cent of water-only per cent less
than the potato. and 9 less than the
carrot.
Milk, another highly nutritious and
acceptable form of food. contains - per
COW: how much it contains when il
reaches the consumer varies with circum
stances. All the fruits. which are 50
grateful To the stomach and are So e;lsi-
" digested. and on which the inhahi-
tant> of tropical climes mainly live, are
largely composed of water. PlamtaillS
contain q per cent: plumS and other
t1eshy fruits. - per cent; apples. straw
I'D -
cent. while melons contain over 90.
Now experience shows that all this wa

amy time we take what we call dry
food. that is. food i'll which less than
one half Is water. we require. besides
