1t is decided mistake to imagine that plants
are unwhoesome in sleeping apartments or Civ
ing rooms" OF course If the flowers eXhale a
strong perfume-such as tuba roses hyacinths,
and daphncs-they make the air too odorous to
be desirable at night; but healthy growing plant
absorb the carbonic acid in the atmosphere and
keep 1t pure and agreeable. They arc in truth,
the best dsinfectants that can be employed.
Last Monday, at dinner time, the dry-house of

A headless skeleton was found in the woods
about one mile south of South Paris village by
some boys who were out hunting, Tuesday after
noon. Wednesday morning, many visited the
place where the skeleton lay, and much interest
is being manifested to identity the remains. The
coroner has been notified, and undoubtedly the
mystery will be thoroughly inquired into
On the road leading from South Paris to Fore

Tor o. VI. Crawford.
In our notes concerning Hon. Ed. Smith, Sen,
we used the wrong name, Manassah Smith, Jr., as
a candidate for Governor, when it was Manassah
H. Smith: and the Hon. James Smith, brother of
Edwin, was Governor for a time, years ago. And
in speaking Of the election in Warren, our notes
read as though the republicans lost this year;
whereas, the reverse was the case. Last year the
democratic majority was 80, and this year it was
"A on a large vote.
Business is lively. The nipp!Eg hosts have
awakened our people to the fact that the fall work
must be done, hence every man and boy finds en-
ployment. Some are repairing, and others are
picking up the loose ends, while others are still
making close the fruits of the year. And the
work is not altogether confined to the male por-
ton of our race. The good mothers and daugh-
tiers have their special extra work on account Of
cold and frost, for the comfort of the household.
Is there not bedding to be repaired and prepared;
clothing to make and "fix," house to clean, etc,
etc. 1t Is busy all around This extra work
makes sore hands and tired bodies, but it gives
the comfort and satisfaction of worthy object,
besides it makes US Ies;a"SS, Yet we lack that
comfortable feeling which used to fill our country
homes and land after the season of gathering-in
came when piles Of corn and apples and other
produce were stored in our houses. That feeling
and security Of "IIarvest Home" seems to have
died out and left us mere sojourners in land, and
waiting for something better, or seeking supply
of these fruits elsewhere.

The epizootic, as we have before stated, has ap-
peared in this city, but in mild form thus tar.
The horses are sneeziDg and coughing, but are not
disabled for service. Perhaps, however, the dis
ease has not reached its height. We notice that
in Portland one horse has died of the disease,
dropping dead. European sardnts predict that
there will be trouble with hors,s from now until
the middle Of May next, such as we have never be-
fore had. They assert that there are now found
in the atmos phere particles Of fine dust, red in
appearance like cayenne, tasteless, but which IN
duce sneezng followed by the well known cpl
zootic. Owners of horsetiesh are cautioned not to
use their horses roughly, or at all, during an at
tack. Keep them we'll banketed, and run lard or
olive oil on the throat morning, noon and night.
In Paris, Major Bayley, the far-famed French
horseman SAYS out of scores and scores diseased
horses he did not lose three cases. lie used med
icine but he followed this treatment, and sand
good grooming was the secret of success.
Mr. Joseph w. Clapp received letter yesterday
from Mr. Hatch of Richmond, stating that girl
resembling the missing girl was seen walking on
the railroad track in that town, ON Friday evening
last. telegram was at once sent for particulars,
Init il is apprchended that the appearance of the
girl had nothing to do with the mystery. The
dress of the girl described does not at all agree
with the dress worn by Miss Clapp. The city
marshal has received letter from Warren, Wor-
cester county, Mass, asking for full description
Of the oirl and requesting that the information be
kept out of the newspapers. The writer says he
has signed fictitious name, for what purpose is
not known. The city marshal sent on full de-
scription by the night train. The state street
carriage theory is exploded by gentleman com
ing forward and saying he took u lady into his
carriage, in front of the Unitarian church, at the
hour designated on Thursday evening.

Indian Matters.

A special to the Inter Ocean says the Indians
at the lower Brule agency are greatly excited be-
cause the government has ordered survey Of the
land in that vicinity. A telegram from Fort
Thompson, to- night, says the Indians there are
running around nearly naked, bearing arms and
ready for a stubborn fight if Colonel Denni
son attempts to proceed with his surveying party.
Lively times may be expected in that region. The
determination Of the Indians to have their own
way becomes more evident every day
since tee termination of the Red Cloud council.
