Nearly Blind.

II. II. SIEvENs: Dear Sir-In expressing my
than ks to you tor benefits derived from the use
of VEGETINE, and TO benefit others. will state:
When eight or nine years cd was afflicted
with Scrofula, which made its appearance IN
my eyes, face ana head, and | was very near
blind for Two years. All kinds Of operations
We performed on my eyes, and all To no good
result. Finally the disease principally settled
in my body, limbs and IeeL and u times in an
aggravated way.
Last summer was. from some cause. weak
in my spine and kidneys, and IL was at times
very hard TO retain my urine. Seeing your ad-
varlisepent in the Commercial, bought a
bottle of VEGETINE, and commence using
according to directions. In two or three days
l obtained great relief. After using four or five
bottles noticed it had wonderful effect on
the rough, scaly blotches on my body and legs.
/ still used NEGETINE and the humorous sores
one after another disappeared until they were
AL gone and i attribute the cure of the two
diseases to VEGETINE and nothing else.
Ii am ever affected with anything OF the
kind again l shall try VEGETINE as the only
reliable remedy. Once more accept my thanks
and believe me to be, Very respectfully.

A LUDIDRUs SPEECH. At the
first anniversary meeting of the Wo-
mans Mutual Aid Society, in Ire
mont Temple, on Sunday evening,
Oct. 81, among others to make per-
tinent remarks to the vast audience
was Deacon George w. Chapman,
who said something pertinent, and
three or four things very inoppor-
tune. He had been talking of the
vicissitudes of poor young girls in
coming to the city and seeking en-
ployment. They often had. he said,
to find a dwelling place in one of
those large boarding houses where
from eight to twenty girls slept in
the same rOom-(derisive laughter)
all through the house. "Yes,"
said the confused deacon. "I've
seen them,"-(continued laughter)
-"Pve been there,"-roars of laugh
ter in which the speakers voice was
drowned.) The remainder of the
leacon's remarks were of no avail.
He had either let the big cat out of
the bag, told what ''the poor girls"
call whOpper, or made series of
very mysterious mistakes. Boston

denly and dangerously sick while at the
capital Wednesday morning. Messen-
gers were at once dispatched for physi-
clans, and the first two to arrive We're
Drs. Magrudcr and j, H. Baxter. They
reached him soon after 10 o'clock. He
was then unconscious. The physicians
at once pronounced the SYMPTOMS to be
those OF paralysis, and applied the pro-
per remedies, rubbing his limbs and af-
forwards applying the cupping process.
AT II o'clock he was lying on low iron
bedstead and complained of much pain,
but the physicians say he is now entire
ly out of danger. They attribute the at
tack entirely to constipation of the bow
els, from which he was suffering on his
arrival yesterday. DR.. Baxter, who has
charge of him, says that there is now no
danger of paralysis, which he at first
feared. There is no doubt that the at
tack was very serious and that his escape
from a more serious result was Il very
marrow one. The news of his illness
caused n large number of persons to
gather at the capital, and the most alarm
ing reports concerning Mr.. Wilson were
spread over the city.

Two or three young ladies' of
Manchester sampled u cup OF boil

standing near the cider barrel. They
finally decided that it was not cider.
Boiled linseed oil may be very good
In its place, but will hardly take the

don, of w. Rupert, Prot. Peter Col
lier resigned his position as Sccrc-
tary to the Board, and Prof Henry
M. Seeley of M;ddlcbury College
was unanimously chosen to fill the
vacancy.
Friday morning within about
an hour seven buildings, some Of
which were farm houses and some
barns, were successfully set on fire
and burned in Brainntree. They
belonged to Luther l'ilson, Joseph
Smalley, Loren Marsi, and james
Marsh. Loss about 5000; partly
insured in the Farmers Mutual.
The incendiary has lot been cap
tured but he is thought to have
been an adept, to be able to fire so
many buildings in such way with
out being detected.
"A reward has been offered for
the arrest Of the incendiary who
burned the seven buildings on Ri
ford Brook, Braintree, last Friday
night, but up to this time no arrest
has been made. n good deal of eX-
citement exists in regard to these
twofold acts, and every effort will
be made to bring the perpetrators
to punishment.

Adams and bound over in $500
bonds and sent to Jail,

ESNEWSPAPER POSTAGE. The re-
suit of the operations of the new
law which requires prepayment of
newspaper postage presents a curl
GUS paradox. While the aggregate
receipts from this scource have not
been as large as they were under
the old system, the net gain to the
Government is greater. The Post
Office department estimated that
the new law would yield one and II
half million dollars annually. This
estimate was based upon the returns
from fifty five leading offices for a
uniform period. But the postmas,
tiers either erred or did not make
truthful returns, for the receipts
from this scource are less than one
million dollars. The Government
makes a gain, however, from the
fact that this sum is mainly collec t
ed'in advance at a few Offices, where
no commission is allowed upon the
sums collected. The amount re.
ceiyed under the new system is near
100000, about the sum received
under the old system in 1873. Of
the entire amount collected, COM
missions were paid upon only about
one hundred thousand dollars.
Newspaper prepayment stamps have
been suppliol..tQ. 800 Offices, the
total number of places in the Unit
ed States where daily newspapers
are published.

HANOVER. On Friday and Saturday

books at the store of j. B. Parker, and
as he claims behaved in very unbecom-

ing furniture and assaulting himself and

be arrested, who were taken to Plymouth
for hearing Of the CAGE, but for some
reason the hearing will not take place
until March. On their return they were

The students expressed their feelings

stove and pulling it out of the store.
Parker made threats and acted in man
her that would be likely to increase the
desire of perpetrating their jokes upon
him. On Saturday afternoon the boys
emptied a set Of drawers which were
full of old and worthless pamphlets, in
to the street. In the evening again they
pulled down an empty bookcase of no
particular value. These things were not
done in a riotous manner, but on the con-
trary SO quietly, that those who were
not Immediately concerned knew nothing
about what was going on until it was
done, and no one could tell certainly
who were concerned

THR GREAT POTATO YEAR. Ac.
cording to the New York papers,
potatoes are pouring into that city
from all directions. They come
down the Hudson from all points
along the river. Canal boats are
fleighted with them; and even from
as far West as Michigan, letters are
received inquiring as to the chance
for selling. -Four hundred car loads
sometimes arrive in a single day,
and large tows come down the riv-
err, every boat loaded with from six
thousand to eight thousand bushels.
New York is the leading State in
the potato business, the number of
acres planted in 1878 being 24l, 800,
the average yield 1O3 bushels per
acre, and the average price "a cents
per bushcl. In that year the entire
potato crop of the United States
was 1OG,O37 900 bushels, of which
nearly one.quarter, "a, 025,OOO bush
els, were produced in New York.
Although the abundent yield this
year may be disappointing to the
farmers on account of the c0nse.
