Montpelier Town Meeting.

The annual March meeting in this town
was yesterday at times lively and at times
otherwise. There were two tickets in the
held, but it was difficult to get at the ex-
act circumstances of the parentage and
birth of either, though tho Union tick
ct was supposed to have temperance eau
Gus as its starting point and the Citizens"
ticket of somewhat doubtful democratic
origin. When folks got together in the
hall there was even then talk of other
combinations and it was evident that there
was a general tumble. AS the voting pro-
crossed it turned out that some on each
ticket were elected and some who were on
neither ticket so that there appeared to be
state of great confusion in the minds of
most people as to whether they had been
the under dogs in the fight or not.
After Town Clerk Merrill had read the
warning c. II. Heath nominated John L.
futile moderator, and Hiram Atkins NOM
mated George w. Wing. The ballot gave
ISL for futile to 13l for Wing. T. R.
Merrill was then unanimously elected
town clerk. A. G. Brown nominated J.
w. Bailey for first selectman and Hiram
Atkins nominated P. P. Pitkin, Bailey had
1856 votes, Pitkin 1872; and three scattering
votes prevented an election. The second
ballot elected Pitkin by 23O to 2l7 for
Bailey, while tho three scattering still
stuck. j. w. Bailey and Sumner Kim
ball were then chosen as second and third
selectmen by aeclamatlon. and the voters
went to dinner.
In the afternoon w. W. Caldwell was
elected overscer, and ballot for constable
gave Denison Taft 1856 to 100 for Albert G.
Dewey. G. I. Sabin, Geo. w. Wing and
Z. Kent were chosen listers. A ballot for
first street commissioner was pretty lively,
and q. G. Camp had 205 votes to 1856 for
Hiram S. Smith.
There was no contest over the remain
ing town officers and the following are the
persons elected:
Treasurer, C Houghton Jr; Second Constable, A
Sweet; Auditors, J A Page, NJ d Gilman, Charles A
Chase, George W Spencer; Town Agent, George W
Wing; Town Superintendent Of Common Schools
Hiram Carlton; I'd and Sd Street Commissioners Will

Breathing Miasma Without Injury.

There is no exaggeraton in the statement that
thousands Of persons residing from one years
end to another IN lever and ague regions on this
Continent and elsewhere, breathe air more or less

habit OF using ldoststtet's Stomach Bitters as a

A COOP RECEIPT FOR CURING MEAT.-To
one gallon of water take u lbs. of salt, J lb.
of sugar, J OF. of saltpetre, OF. of potash.
In this ratio the pickle can be increased to
any quantity desired. Let these be boiled to-
gether until all the dirt from the sugar rises to
the top, and is skinned Off Then throw it
into n tub to cool, and when cold, pour it over
your beef or pork. The meat must be well
covered with pickle, and should not be put
down for at least two days after killing, dur
ing which time it should be slightly sprinkled
with powdered saltpetre, which removes all
the surface blood, etc, leaving the meat fresh
and clean. Some omit boiling the pickle, and
find it to answer we'll though the operation of
boiling purifies the pickle by throwing off the
dirt always to be found in salt and sugar. If
this receipt is strictly followed, it will require
only single trial to prove its superiority over
the common way or most ways of putting
down meat, and will not soon be abandoned
for any other. The meat is unsurpassed for
sweetness, delicacy and freshness of color

CoAxING HOUSE PLANTS. House plants
ought TO be stimulated gently once or twice a
week. Rain water, so refreshing to summer
flowers, always contains ammonia, which also
abounds in all liquid manures. If you take
an ounce of pulverized carbonate of ammonia
dissolved in one gallon of water, it will make
spring water even more stimulating to your
plants than rain water. If you water your
plants once in two weeks with guano water
Zone tablespoonful to pail of water) they
will grow thrifty. Always keep the soil in
your flower pots loose. common hairpin
used daily will stir the earth sufficiently.

They were fastened against the west side of
tight board fence running north and south,
and were full of fruit. The spread of each
plant was about six feet along the fence.
