the sick and distressed.
The report of Hon. S. Sands Mills, our broth

In Sheldon township the school meet

three outsiders, assessed local school
tax of three mills on the dollar, the six
teachers and one outsider voting in favor
of the tax. Some of the tax payers are
indignant, but if they will not attend the
school meetings they must submit to the

-On the 10Th inst. upwards Of twenly
neigbbors aud friends called to commence
rate the 73d birthday anniversary Of Mrs.
Lydia CLARK, an estimable lady, whose
sympathizing heart and willing hands have
exerted a cheering influence In many fam
lilies, not only in days of health, but in
times Of sickness and sorrow. Though sur
prised, she received each and all with her
usual cordial welcome. After a social hour
or two the ladies spread a table with boun-
tiiul supply of various luxuries, and the
guests, with Mrs. Clark at the head, and
her sister, Miss Titus, near, were duly re-
freshed. Then hymns and tunes were sung
in good old style, and the old folks depart
ed, leaving their host grateful for the va
rious presents of use and value given as
tokens Of kindness and respect. In the
evening the young people called with their
congratulations, and cheered her with mu-
sic and kind words and deeds.
On the afternoon aud evening OF the
10th inst. there was a gathering of about
thirty OF the older people of the town at
the house OF Mr.. Marshall Lee, in COM
memoration of the ninetieth birthday OF
his father, Major Eli Lee, who is one of the
numerous offspring Of the Lee family in
this town. The old gentleman retains his
faculties wonderfully, and, though a little
bowed under the accumulation OF years,
scarcely enough 10 be noticeable. A boun-
teous table was spread by the son and his
daughter Minnie, OF which the guests, with
the venerable Major OF ninety summers at
the head partook. Amer refreshments the
people assembled in the parlor and adjoin-
ing rooms, when Lorenzo Brown, ESQ, ad.
dressed few congratuatory and appropr-
ate words to Major Lee, referring to the
high character for integrity which he had
maintained through life, and TO the good
influences that he through himself and OFF,
spring had exerted upon the community
about him and in broader fields Major
Lee, who seemed deeply touched by these
evidences of respect from his towns-people
and friends, among whom he had so long
lived, responded briefly, and referred TO
the old house where he was born and which
had sheltered six generations of the Lee
family. A few brief remarks were offered
by others endorsing heartily all Mr.. Brown
had said. Old Hundred aud some other
tunes in which Major Lee Joined, were
then sung, and the old folks took their
leave of their venerable and cherished
friend, when the young people assembled
in the evening in response to invitations
from Minnie and her father, and crowned
the day by singing and in social entertain
ments. w.

THE BREMERHAvEN EXPLosIoN.-The
most diabolical attempt at crime Il at has
recently come TO light is that of Thompson,
the man who owned the case of dynamite
that exploded on the wharf at Bremerhav-
en- last week. Soon after the ex plosion, by
which nearly two hundred persons were
killed and wounded, this man attempted
to commit suicide. lie was not successful,
and was immc diately arrested as owner of
the explosive material. He died OF his
wounds on Thursday. Previous to his
death he confessed that he had arranged the
case OF dynamite with clockwork inside,
so that it would be exploded when the ves-
sci was fairly at sea. He was 10 take pas
sage on the vessel, which was TO touch at
Southampton, where he intended to leave
it. He had secured heavy insurance on
fictitious invoi ces of goods and il was for
the purpose Of obtaining the insurance that
he arranged this diabolical plot. Since his
death it has been found that he made some
contradictory statements in his confession,
and the most charitable inference is that the
man was insane.

The pay roll of the Central Vermont rail-
road has been reduced 10 the amount of
$4,000 per month during the past few
months. Thus far all reductions have been
made pro rata and impartially among all
classes of employees, but the ST. Adams
Advertiser is informed that If any further
reduction becomes necessary ait will not
fall, il ii can be prevented, upon the day
laborers, but will be shouldered by the of
ficials, and such employees as can best bear
it," The Advertiser thinks that better
times can hardly be expected "while these
constant raids on the management contin-
ue." Commenting on this latter point, the
argus says:-
"If the management had the money it
has been compelled TO spend in litigation,
1t would be in funds. The services of such
legal gentlemen as Mr.. Noble, Mr.. Fiheld,
Mr.. Underwood, and Judge Poland costs
piles OF money. Every time any of the
suits are brought TO a result, the Courts
sustain the management, which is evidence
that the management has the law on its
side, and throws the responsibility for the
spending Of all this money on those who
are keeping up this worse than useless liti-
CATION. When the underpaid laborer feels
he shoe pinch, he should blame those who
keep harrassng with their suits those run
ming the road"

contained the following letter:
To the Editor Of the Republican,
In answer TO your correspondent from
West Mortified in regard to the 'imner-
feet sewerage" at the South Vernon house
by which some 20 Gases of diphtheria were
produced, and from that number were
eight deaths, and among them all were
near and some very dear to the writer. l
know there was not one particle Of founda-
ton for the assertion, from the fact that
some OF the cases were from oue-half to one
mile from the house, and those among the
most ialal. And 10 the writer's knowledge
some ofthem had not been in the house for
month. Whether the sewerage Is inner
lect or not, that l will not here discuss
But ibis much can say,-the house has
peen occupied some four years, and dur
ing that time not one case OF fever has oc.
Cured and very little illness-with the
sewerage in the same imperfect condition.
can give the names Of some half dozen
physicians, among them the most skilled
in Windham and Franklin counties, who
stated the sewerage had nothing to do with
the diphtheria, for its effects had been Quite
as fatal on the hills as in the valleys, and
those occupying the most modern residen-
ces have suffered as much as those in the
most lowly. There are no new cases to report,
All precautions lave been taken about the
mouse, to guard against any spread of the
disease. ID. S. PRIEST.
