-Silas D. Smith. of South

-Silas D. Smith, of South Bristol,
had one dressed hog stolen from his
wagon-house last Sunday night. The
hog was very fat spring pig weighing
about 200 lbs and frozen hard. A team
had been driven to and tied before the
house; the pork was taken from the
Wagon-house and drawn to the sleigh,
and the team was turned north and
went back on the same road it came.
1t is thought that the team and it's
owner belong in the town of Bristol
and probably no great distance from
Mr.. Smiths.

E. CURRy's article for the Educa-
tional last week was able and in the
right direction. But it was not quite
plain and full enough for those not
telegraphers to comprehend what con-
stitutes the telepraphic alphabets, and
we hope that Mr.. Curry will in another
article supply these deficiencies.
Mr.. Curry is right in the idea 'that
changes for the better in our alphabet,
or cutting down our overgrown words
and double letters, if encouraged by
established educational authorities or
legislative enactment, would not prove
so difficult a matter as might from
first appearances be supposed" The
great difficulty lies in getting the en-
enlargement of established educational
authorities or legislative enactment,
and the attention of the people, and
not in the changes to be made.

Scarlet Fever.

The Boston Board of Health has is
sued circular prescribing certain pre-
cautions for the prevention Of the spread
of scarlet fever, from which we make
the appended extract
Scarlet fever is like smallpox in its power
to spread readily from person 10 person. 1t is
highly contagious. The disease shows its first
signs in about one week after exposure, a
general rule, and persons who escape the ILL
ness during fortnight after exposure may
feel themselves safe from attack. Scarlet
fever, scarlatina, canker rash, and rash fever
are names Of one and tho same dangerous dis
ease. When IL case Of scarlet fever occurs in
any family the sick person should be placed
in a room apart from the other inmates of the
house, and should be nursed as far as possible
by one person only. The sick chamber should
be well warmed, exposed to sunlight and well
aired. Its furniture should be such as will
permit Of cleansing without injury, and all ex-
ira articles, such rs window drapery aud woelen
carpets, should be removed from the room
during sickness. The family should not mlngle
with Other people. Visitors TO an infected
house should be warned OF the presence Of a
dangerous disease therein, aid cnlldren, eepe-
cialIy, should not be admitted. On recovery
the sick person should not mingle with the
we'll until the rouyhness of the akin, due to
disease, shall have disappeared. A month Is
considered an average PERIOD during which
isolation is needed. Inc clothing. before
being worn or used by the patient or The nurse
should be cleansed by bolnng for at least one
hour or, if that cannot be done, by free and
prolonged exposure to outdoor air and sun-
lght. The walls OF the room should be dry
rubbed. and the cloths used for the purp )se
should be burned without previous shaking.
Inc ceiling rhould be scraped and whitened
the floor should be washed with soap and
water, al carboiic acid may be added ~ til o
water-one pint to three or four gallons"

Hunting the King of Beasts.

The favorite plan adopted by lior
hunters in Algiers for Turing their prey
is to select favorable plot of level
ground below q commanding eminence,
where the hunters, armed with rifles,
conceal themselves. A stake is driven
into the center of the plot, to which a
kid is tethered. 1t is about 2 in the
morning, and the moon fall and bright.
About twenty minutes delay, and the
heavy silence of the place is broken by
an ominous sound in the distance. 1t is
not quite howl, but greatly magni-
fed imitation of that long wailing cry of
a lonesome cat in the dead of night.
Then the moon reveals a dark object
among the heavy grasses and shrubbery,
and then the form of the king of beasts,
whipping his launches with his fluffy
tail, and leisurely following the scent.
The piteous bleating of the doomed kid
accclerates his pace, and when within a
few feet of his victim he crouches down
to gloat over the prospective meal. He
advances, and with stroke of his paw
nearly dispatches the kid. Almost dead,
it attempts to crawl away. Then the
lions feline instincts are apparent. He
plays with the dying kid as a cat does
with half-dead mouse. While he Is
thus engaged the hunters take steady
aim at point near one of the fore shout
ders or behind his ear. He sends up
terrific yell, and rolls over dead.

Comparisons are Odious.

sent to English Minister Thornton,
among others, to get his views as to the
proper form Of government to substitute

it is out of my power to give you the
details for which you ask. 1t must in
deed be supposed that my duties here
are very light if 1 could find time to
write what would require 80 much
thought and labor as to the relative
merits of the Government of the United
States and Great Britain. The question
reminds me of the phrase which L had

Something New in Surgery.

DR.. Holmes, of Helena, Mon, recent
ly removed tumor from the left side of
Mr.. ID. +. Herrin of the size of an ordi-
nary apple. While the operation was
being performed, Mr.. Herrin was read
ing the news in daily paper and was
not aware that the knife was being used
until the tumor was placed on the table
before him. The method of destroying
sensibility was this: The doctor took
a ball of snow, added to it teaspoonful
of table-salt, and applied this freezing
mixture to the tumor until the surface
was white. When the knife was used
the tumor was insensible.

The Sagacity OF Wild Geese.

The large focks of wild geese which
are constantly passing over the town are
frequently shot at, but they generally
fly at too high an attitude to be reached
by the leaden missiles. Sometimes,
however, the shots take effect. The
other day we were watching flock fly
ing southwark, when the report of a
gun was heard and we observed one of
the geese begin to fall slowly. The
others, perceiving that their comrade
was wounded, uttered shrill cries of dis
tress. and about dozen of them flew
under the wounded bird, budding to-
gether 30 that their backs formed sort
OF bed upon which the wounded one
rested. They buoycd il up for some
time, the others meanwhile looking on
and manifesting their concern by utter

IMPRISONED In A CLOSET.

Sufferings of An Old Lady I'm New Hamp.
shire-Her Marrow Escape from Death.
The Boston Journal contains the fol-
lowing in reference to the accidental
imprisonment of an elderly lady in a
closet in her house in the town of Hill,
N. H., on Saturday, which was briefly
referred to in our kilograms "About
o'clock in the afternoon, as resident
OF the town was driving home from his
work, through sparsely settled dis
trict, and passing the house OF one of
his neighbors, he thought he heard a
sound like groan issuing from it. APP
prehensive that something was wrong,
lie made his way through the snow to
the house and gained an entrance. The
rooms were very cold, and there were
no signs that any one had been about
since morning. In moment he heard
faint moan, apparently coming fsom a
dark closet near the front door. He I'M
fastened the door of this and beheld on
the floor the inanimate form of Mrs.
Salon P. Sanborn, an elderly lady of
feeble health. The limbs of the woman
were stiff with cold, and she was unable
to articulate distinctly. He carried her
into the sitting-room and built fire,
and then summoned the nearest neigh
Dor. A physician was also called, and
the other members of the family sent
for. After being restored to conscious
ness in the evening, Mrs. Sanborn re-
lated the story Of her terrible sufferings
during the day. She had been left
alone in the morning, the head OF the
family being at his. work, and at her re-
quest the wife going away to attend
sick neighbor. Soon after she was
seized with fainting spell, and tried
to walk to the door to get fresh air, but
in her weakness and confusion acct
dentally opened the closet door, which
suddenly closed, with a strong SPRING
lock upon the outside, and she, unable
to help herself, fell to the floor. This
was the only part of her experience
which she remembers. She had recol-
lections, however, of a partial realiza-
ton OF her condition. She could hear
teams passing at intervals, and she
would try to make herself heard. but in
her weakness she was unable to arouse
any one. She heard the clock strike
hourly until noon, when, convinced that
she could not survive until the family
returned, she gave up all hope, and,
unable to make any further effort for
relief, awaited death in her dark prison.
She said she dreamed of attempting to
cut holes through the door near the
lock. An examination proved that the
poor woman had, in her delirium, found
knife and cut two holes through the
door, as she had related, but the open
ing did not enable her to push back the
bolt. Her story and the discoveries
made showed that the sufferings of the
woman during the nine hours she was
imprisoned must have been terrible.
Her frozen limbs testified to the cold
which she had endured, while the
wounds upon her hands showed how
she had struggled. Notwithstanding
her age and feeble health, there is a
possibility that she may recover"

Painting Pals In the Minnesota State Pris
on-The Transgressor's Road.

on-The Transgressor's Road.
This is the home of the Younger
brothers. Naturally the Northfield trio
were the much sought after of the con-
victs yesterday. 1 brought up the rear
of the first party to arrive, and Bob,
looking up from his work, caught my
eye, and with pleasant twinkle in his
own,.. nodded recognition, and, when 1
asked how / had been. He seemed as
Indifferent as ever as he continued his
work of piling up pals, remarking,
"This is good exercise, you see," and
smiled.
"You look fat and well, remarked;
and he does, very much 30.
Yes. I've been sick; but we have
plenty to eat, and are as well treated as
could be expected"
His arm is still stiff, and always will
be. Cole has entirely recovered from
his wounds, and even his left eye, the
nerves of which were paralyzed by the
passage of the ball which is lodged be-
meath the right eye, does not trouble
him. He finds his "sublime life" in
revolving pals upon a sort of spindle,
dHu applying Illc Htst COht VI Wnltt paiub
by rapid process. Jim, who conversed
but little yesterday, revolves machine
by which the pals are grained, while,
after the bands have been painted
brown by another mechanical process,
at which a red.headed convict assists,
Bob piles the pals up in regular tiers.
They occupy the first three cells on the
lower tier at the right of the main en-
trance, and all look as though they were
stall-fed-fat enough to kill. Sheriff
Barton was the party yesterday, and
the prisoners seemed right glad to see
their big-hearted guardian when first
captured. The Captain wears heavy
gold cham, present from Miss Henri
eta Younger, received not long since.
1t was formerly the property of Col.
Younger, the father of the boys, and is
token now of the kindness on his part
to both sons and daughter.
Cole seems more depressed than when
l last talked to him, just before sentence
was pronounced at Faribault. He ap'
preciates that he is to great extent the
cause of the punishment that is inflicted
upon his brothers, since he led them
into course of unparalleled crime

An Oft.TOld Tale.

A young gent of this city visited his
girl the other evening, and, as luck
would have it, they managed to secure
the parlor to themselves-he father be-
ing in another room. Suddenly the old
gent heard the loud exclamation: "Dear
George, how cold your nose is |" and
Immediately he began to inspect the
premises. He discovered the lovers
seated on the extreme ends of the sofa,
and wouldn't have suspected anything
but for the powder that was on the shout
der of the youth. As it was the latter
left without his hat, and feels rather sore
about the affair.-Daily Bluff city.

Breads Competition.

English manufacturers look with lit
tie cordiality on the French Exhibition
of 1878. The London papers say "the
world is tired of exhibitions" The fact
is, they dread another competition with
American manufacturers in the presence
of the world. Their defeat at Phila-
delphia is well understood in Europe,
and is hurting their foreign trade, and
another such at Paris in 1878 would be
likely to prove serious blow to British
industries.
