u A correspondent of the Boston Travele
picked up the following interesting bit @
history during his wanderings in th
[ [IGranite STATE:
{ Gen. Peabody. who was by profession
Ia physician, was hero Of the revolution
Iand after The war resided at Exeter, N
IH., where he was buried. During tn
lsummer days he was wont 10 pasture hi
horses back in the country. bringing then
|tome In the fall. On one occasion, as tn
IcOld weather drew near, he went to tn
town where his hol ses were, and arrange,
with the owner Of ihe pasture, who wa
both farmer and tavern keeper, to send hi
i The Generals, black horse home on
jcertain afternoon.
''Yes," was the reply. II will seni
my boy down with yer black horse on tha
morning, sure"
On the appointed day the General stoot
at his gate watching for the appearance O
his favorite charger, ard eventually saw i
approaching along the road, while on 1T
back, usiog for saddle only his owr
coarse jacket, rode along in his shirt
sleeves, large, heavy, rough boy, his
face very dark, it's natural color having
been deepened BY tine sui. On arriving
| at tue gate, the boy remarked: ~ have

''Yes, SO see," replied the general.
"and I am glad 10 see him safe and sound.
You must have started early. Walk in.

The boy, of course, accepted the invi-

struments OF the table service vigorously
and skillfully, and did full justice to the
noon meal.
During the dinner the General inquired
of the boy what his .me was, to which
the prompt response MAS given:
"Daniel Webster"
"Ob, yes, remarked the General. .'you
are the son of Eb. Webster, who pastures
my horses"
"Yes. said the boy "father sent me
down with yer horse to-day"
So it Was that big dark-skinned boy was

Awful III True.

For several days hack the Chicago Inter.
Ocean has published articles setting forth
that there were good grounds for believing
that the Ashtabala Railway accident was
the work Of some fisnd or 1iends. concoc-
ted and carried out for the purpose of
plumber. The Galena Gazette Of the 10th
inst. says:
Now that the excitement attending the
accident Is wearing away the Railroad
Company has commenced rigid investl-
cation, which promises to reveal some
matters not hitherto thought of. As to
the proofs Of the supposition that robbers
caused the wrscki Il is stated that the bod
lee Of the dead were robbed of oil the
vs!uables. and this decoration was done
before i've minutes after the wrecking of
the train had elapsed. This IL the chief
thing upon which the detectives must
work. and that this fact has been satisfac-
torily settled In their minds u beyond any
question. II the robbery had not been
promeditased, II would have been some
time after the accident before any desper-
ate characters Gould have had time to
hear the news and reach the scene of the
accident But these robbenes were cora :
menced Immediately aiter the train had
been destroyed. and the presumption ie
that the mer who committed the robberies
had made preparations for their project.
The theory Of the officials is that those
men deliberately loosencd q bolt on the
bridge. just sufficient to plunge the train
iato the river, and then awaited the result,
which the public know too well.
>~It 10 even rumored that the detectives
have obtained Z clue to these liends, ard
that ere long they viii bs broush; 70 jus.
tice. On this point, however, the officials
maintain perfect reticence. When the
question Was put to them directly they
admitted that they have :heir suspicious
that the robbers tampered the bridge, and
were the direct cause OF the sffair which
has brought 20 much sorrow iato 20 many
homes In the land; but they will not make
any further aaMissions. The only other
statement that they viii make Is that row

"CANKER IN THE BUD"

You watch its development with expec-
tant solictude-the choice, exquisitely
moulded bud which promises 10 unfold
with the perfect flower. You perhaps think
how it will adorn the drawing room vase,
and anticipate the pleasure of showing it
to your hower-loving friends. But some
morning you find its head dropping, its
fragrance fled, an an ugly purple spot on
one of the delicately-tinted petals. 1t is
the poet S " mixer in the bud" How Of
ten the loathsome canker blights the
cherished infant blossoms in our house
hold gardens-those human buds which
give earnest of Il brilliant future. The
noisome canker, so long concealed -scrof-
ula-at length reveals its dreaded presence
and to our bright hopes succeeds the most
agonizing fear, for we know the fatal sequel
it portends- pulmonary consumption. 1t
is estimated by eminent medical authorities
that at least One-ffth humankind are afflic-
ted with this insidious malady. But its
ravageS are so secret, that even its victims
are unaware of its presence until it sudden
ly discloses itself in some of its myriad
and oftimes fatal forms slight cutaneous
eruption is often the only indicator of its
presence. The only means Of extermina-
ting this disease from the system is by n
thorough course of constitutional treat
ment. This treatment must fulfil three in,
dcations, namely, promote nutrition, altel
or purify the blood, and arrest disorganiza
ton of the tissues and the formation of tu
bercles. No more efficient Alternative car
be employed for these purposes than DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. While
imparting strength and tone to the diges
tive organs, it cleanses the blood and heal.
the diseased tissues. Test its virtues ere
the deadly canker has blighted the lift
you prize.

Caledonia County Court.

The June Term of Caledonia County
Court was begun on the 9th inst. at St.
Johnsbury, Judge Ross presiding. The
first case tried was:
Joseph A. Wing, administrator of Sarah
Hooper Us. Isaac N. Hall and Jonathan R.
Darling. This was a suit involving the
ownership of the three acres Of ground
upon which the Lake House, so called,
stands, in the town of Sutton. The dis
pute has been before the courts in one
form and another since 1865, and there
have been two bills in Chancery decided,
and three jury trials, and yet " it will not
down." In the first jury trial the plaintiff
was beaten, but he succeeded in getting
some of the judges rulings overturned by
the Supreme Court, and the case remand
ed TO the County Court. At the second
trial the jury disagreed. Neither the
plaintiff nor defendant have u perfectly
good title; neither can prove claim back
to the original grantee of the land in the
charter of the town. The plaintiff proves
color Of title by Il tax sale to him in 1851,
but comedies that the sale was informal,
and relies upon an adverse possession of
the land for fifteen years, commencing
with his entry upon the land after the tax
sale. The defendant also put in proof
II tax sale, known as the Taisey sale, but
relied upon a deed from one Perkins,
which title assembled within one of the orig
inal grantee, Roswell Andrus. This decd
conveyed all the rights which Samuel
Page had to the lot, and Samuel Page was
the putative owner, for whose nom
payment Of taxes the sale was made to
The intestatc's father, Samuel R. Hooper.
1t was conceded in effect that the defend
ant had the best record title, and that un.
less the plaintiff could make cut consec-
utive adverse possession of the land for
fifteen years he could not win. The de-
PENDANT contended that some twelve years
ago Christopher Richardson of Orange
had taken possession of the land under the
Samuel Page title, and had cut some
brush and slash and had thus interrupted
the plaintiffs adverse possession. The
plaintiff admitted Mr.. Richardson's cut
ting, but claimed that it was mere tres
pass, that he had been duly warned off,
and that he had declared at the time of
the warning to Jacob Hooper, the intes-
tate's brother, and to many others, that he
was then acting under the Harris heirs,
and said nothing about the Samuel Page
title. The case took nearly the whole Of
last week, and involved most confusing
mass of documentary and oral testimony.
The jury after staying out from Friday
afternoon till Saturday morning returned
verdict for the defendant. Mr.. Wing
took several exceptions to Judge Ross
charge and rulings, and will take the case
to the Supreme Court. Messrs. Joseph
| A. Wing and II. O. Belden for plaintiff
S Messrs. j. P. Lamson, A. NJ. Dickey and
: C, j. Gleason for the defendants.
, The grand jnry are full of business, the
. case of Mr.. Hopkins alone bringing host
of witnesses before them. 1t is stated that
-, the Newark child murderess has been
found not guilty of murder on account Of
: insanity, and that the bill has been thrown

DR.. sCHENCK,s PULMoNIC SYRUP.


SEA WEED TONIC, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These
medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known to
the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing that
can be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for consumption
probably contain opium, which is a somewhat dan
gerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
cOnsumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to cOnfne the morbid matter in the
system, which, Of course, must make cure mpos-
sible, schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted
not TO contain a particle Of opium; it is composed
of powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs, liver, stomach, and blood and thus correct
all morbid secretons, and expel all the diseased
matter from the body. These are the only means
by which consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's PulmoDc Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrak Pills are the only medicine which operate
in this way il is obvious they are the only genuine
cure for Pulmonary Consumption Each bottle OF
| this invaluable medicine is accompanied by full
directions. DIR. Schenck is professionally at his
principal Office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets,

advice must be addressed. FM23ml

MAsONIC.-The grand Masonic bodies
of this State hold their annual meetings in
Burlington this week.
The meeting of the Grand Temperance
Reform Club at Burlington last week, was
quite well attended. The next annual
meeting will be in Rutland in June, 1878.
Woodstock people raised the proportion
assigned them of $500 for the Bennington
centennial celebration in one day and paid
the money over to member of the execu-
tive committee.
The press agent of "John O'Brien's

this exhibition will enter Vermont at
Brattleboro, June 22d, and Immediately
thereafter visit the leading towns of the
state.
Mr.. Morse, the genial proprietor of the
Plainfield Springs Hotel, has made ar
engagements for excursion parties to this
most pleasant resort. Tickets from Mont
pelier and back can be procured at the
Wells River depot during the season for
$3.50.
The next Reunion of the Veteran Sol
diers of Vermont will be held at Benning-
ton, Vermont, on the 14th. 18th, 10th and
18th of August, 1877.
The fact that this Reunion is held m
connection with the Great Celebration
commemorative of tho Tooth Anniversary
of the Battle of Bennington, and of the
birth of the State of Vermont renders it
of unusual interest.
