As v olney j. Wood was at work a
few rods from his house, near Simons-
willie, VT, Saturday, he heard the report
of gun, and on looking in tho .dfrec-
ton of his house he saw his little boy five
years old, reel and fall to the ground.
On reaching the boy he found bullet
had passed through the little fellows
side. All the explanation the boy could
give was: "The man shot him." Some
neighbors set out in search of the sup
posed tramp. They soon overlook the
man and found him to be one David
Howard, disreputable character living
in that vicinity. A pocket rife was
found In his possession. Howard at
first denied firing the gun, but after
wards admitted that he fred at SOUR
rel on the bridge near the house.
Howard was taken to Chester, Vt,
and lodged In the lookup for safe keep
ing. 1t Is probable the examination wifi
prove the shooting to have been acciden-
tai. The child at last accounts was quite
comfortable and with the chances in
favor of recovery.

Another Coal Mine Horror.
pOTTsyuLE, Pa. Ma,

louisville, Pa, MAJ Q.
A great explosion of gas occurred
Wednesday morning in the Vaudeville
mines, near st. Clair. A number of
men are imprisoned in the mines. 1t
seems impossible to rescue them.
LATER.
1t is reported that thirty are imprison-
ed in the Wadesville mines. Their
cries for assistance are plainly heard.
Six bodies have been recovered.
The bodies ofJoseph Milward, Herbert
Moore and Thomas Connors have been
taken from the mine. The latter has
his head and both legs blown off. Moore
presented frightful appearance, his
face and body being dreadfully burned
and disfgured. John Durkin was
thrown with great violence against the
props and walls, and instantly killed.
Edward Weaklin, one of the miners,
who escaped, describes the gas after
igniting as flying through the mine
with lightning rapidity, destroying
every thing in Its path.
Weaklin, hearing the first report,
quickly laid down, and the gas passed
him. Three Of the men who were
killed had been working only twenty
yards from him. 1t soon became neces.
sary to fan fresh air In the mine. So
foul had the gas become that those sent
to the rescue could only work at
short intervals. James Lady was
burned and may not recover. Two
miners have just came up and report
that a largo quantity ofcoal has fallen on
Benjamin Mosely, and it will be impos-
sible to get at him for some time. No
hopes are entertained for his recovery.
The latest information indicates that
seven men were killed and six seriously
injured.

A local court In Arkansas has pro.
nouncsd decision which, II sustained
by the supreme court Of the state, 10
which the case has boon appealed, will
invalidate railroad aid bonds to the
amount OF &c, 000, 900 issued in the state
under legislative act passed In 1869.
This state aid was given to the Little
Rock and Fort Smith road, among 9TH
ers, and II was the extension of the
grant TO the state by Congress for this
purpose which Blaine helped Warren
Fisher and Josiah Caldwell TO ret
through Congress In 1869. The decis-
ion Of the court, II sustained, will cause
a heavy loss TO Boston parties.

~ The time for the extra session of
Congress has been definitely fixed, and
the president has issued his summons to
both houses of Congress to assemble on
Monday, October Is. The appropria-
tons for the army have been used up
and many thought the extra session
should be called before the close of the
fiscal year. But the consideration of
rest to the country from active political
wrangling seems to have had more
weight with the president and his cab
met than the inconvenience of running
the government con tick" The stingy
psrsimony of the Democratic House,
which cut down these appropriations
last winter and called 1t ECONOMY"
has proved to be an expensive indul-
Gepoe.

The PENSION AGENcIEs.-The fol-
lowing is portion of the order, issued
on Monday, consolidating pension agen-
cies all over the country:
"Ordered, that on and after July /.
1877, the agencies for the payment Of
pensions at Portsmouth, in the state of
New Hampshire, Montpelier and Bur-
lington, in the state of Vermont, Angus.
ia, Bangor and Portland, in the state of
Maine, will be discontinued and the
agencies of the districts consolidated
with the district of Concord. in the
state of New Hampshire, and the pen
sions paid at the said agency, and the
navy pensions of the districts of Mont
pelier and Burlington, now paid at Bos-
ton, will hereafter be paid at the agency
at Concord, n. H."
The order veriiies our surmise that
the agency for Vermont, New Hamp-
shire and Maine, would be established
In New Hampshire. A Washington dis
patch says it does not follow that the
pension agent located at the place of
the consolidated agency is to be retain
ed in office. The president retains the
right to select the most efficient agent
of the number consolidated, and to ap-
point him to the consolidated agency,
dismissing the Others. - Burlington

A CURIOsTTY.-The Lyndon Union tells
the following: Fourteen years ago Jo-
seph Page walked from st. Johnsbury
Centre TO the house where A. A. Pierce
resides, having in his hand balm of
Gilead stick, cut from tree and used
Cd the route as walking stick. On
reaching home he stuck that stick up In
the yard, and from Its bottom sprang
out roots, and branches grew above the
ground. In a few years II became
tree, and one day last week Mr.. Pierce
telled that tree 70 the ground and found
II eighteen inches through at the butt.
But the most singular part of the story
remains to be told. When the tree was
cutup aud split that identical cane, pro-
cisely the same size and shape, with the
original knife cuts upon 1t, came out Of
the bottom log and is now on exhibition
y this oface. On the small end of the
stick can also be seen q place an inch
long where the bark was showed up
nom the bottom, from sticking It into
the ground while walking.
A decree has been promulgated de-
claring all persons banished from Cuba
for political reasons pardoned without
reserve. The embargoes on the proper
ty Of insurgents who have surrendered
or shall surrender before the war are
raised, except insurgent chiefs and
those who, having already received par
don, relapse In rebellion. Persons thus
excepted are to await the disposal of the
Embargoes on the prop
erty of deceased insurgents are also
raised, the property being restored TO
Spain.

Feeding.

Is not only highly appreciated. by poul.

have tried the plan, as well as the NOR.
general system of feeding out only whole
grain 90 regular food. it has been found
that variety does much the best towards
keeping domestic fowls constantly in good
thrift.
By variety we mean both raw and cook
ed food-meal, veg. tables, scraps, green
food, corn, oats, rice, barley, wheat,
pounded bones, cts. Either for layiag
fowls, for breeders. or for growing stock.
the varied feeding plan is always most
beneficial.
If other conditions are supplied; a sma il
quantity of meat Is enough to keep hen
laying we'll. Half an ounce of cooked
fresh meat per diem Is enough, but il
should be regularly supplied, and in such
condition that the fowls where there are
several together, should each get share
If 1t is minced fine and mixed with their
mornings feed, which should be wet and
warm, It would be best.

Curing Pork.

It Is not difficult matter to cure porh
so that it will always be sweet, provided
the necessary requisites are furnished
pork from young pigs from six to ten
months old and plenty Of good salt. Cut
the pork up into suitably sized pieces,
after it has lost all the animal ht at; but it
should never haye been allowed to freeze.
Pack closely in clean, tight cask, in al
iernate layers Of pork and salt, using
from half busbel to whole bushel to
each barrel, (2OO pouuds.) A portion of
the salt must be reserved for the brine,
which must be boiled and SKINNED, and
saturated with salt. When cold, pour
over the pork, taking care to provi 'e
sufficient brine to cover the meat at least,
two inches. Lay . heavy, fiat stone on
the pork, TO keepit from floating, and the
pork will keep sweet as long 40 it 10 COW
cred with the brine. Ordinary fine Onon
daga salt is just - good as the coarse salt,
If the same weight is used. The barrel
should always have undissolved salt in theI
brine.
For bacon, hams, and shoulders usc|
e'Sht pounds OF salt. one quart of molss.
ses, Tor its eQuivalent--two and q half
pounds of sugar. two ouneecof saaipeter, |
one ounce of ssleratus, and two ounces of
cayenne pepper to each 100 pounds oil
meat, trimmed. Pack as closely as posi- |
Die in cask;. using little of the salt
Between the pieces. Boil and skim the
ingredients, and when cold, pour over the
meat, adding water sufficient to cover
entirely. In six weeks the meat can be
taken oct, rinsed, and hung up to be
smoked. Some like few cloves and
black pepper added to the pickle. If d
"dry pickle is preferred, rub the hartstf
once daily with the above mixture, in q
tub, until the pickle has all been rubbed |.
into the meat. Hams prepared in this
way never need ''frcsheiing" before
sooking, and will keep indefinitely, if
secured from flies.
