Some experiments have taken place in The
Salpetriere Hospital, in Paris, DR.. Burq's
curative system, which consists SIMPLY IN APP
plying metals to the human body. The ex.
periments were conducted by Professor Char
cot and DR.. Burg. Three patients, one cata
leptic the others hysterical, were operated
upon. While their eyes were bandaged DIR.
Charcot passed pms through the flesh ofthcir
paralyzed arms and legs without their being
aware of it, and without drawing blood. Con.
sequently, on DIR. BurQ's metallic plates of
copper or gold being applied for few min
utes, sensibility returned, and the slightest
prick made them scream. The doctors pres.
ent admitted the highly interesting nature of
the experiments, which TO many of them were
quite new, but reserved for more mature con
sideration their opinions as to the practical
value Of the treatment of which DR.. Burg is
already convinced.

Nv friend the aged cobbler's dead,
Called hence by cruel govt;
Ne whom no other could outpeg,
Has now himself pegged out
He was Il man of noble parts,
Beloved by young and old;
And though he ne'er sold half his goods,
His goods were oft half-soied.
His was busy life until
Diseas did on him steai
he hcelcd his patrons boots ana shoes,
Himself he could not heal.
He loved his art. as well he might,
For in it he surpassed;
When morning called him to his toll
His first thought was his last.
Unlike some men know full well,
Of human kindness stripped,
Who reap what other hands have sowii-
lie sewed what others ripped.
But now he's gone. the good old man,
Mankind has lost a friend;
In youth a Crispin-crisp in age
He waxed unto his end.
Peace be his rest; and when around
The Day of Judgment rolls,
rs free from flaw may be his soul
As ever were his soles!

THE RUTLAND DAILY GLOBE FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 27. 1877.


Rev. Mr.. Huutress will assume his du-
ties rs pastor of the Congregational church
the first Sabbath in May.
l.. S. Waldo has sold bis residence on
Depot street to Mrs. Hosea Eddy.
Rev. DIR. Aldace Walker Is still improy-
ing and is frequently seen upon the streets,
and is cordially greeted by the people
among whom he has so long lived and la
bored.
The new residence of Justin Batcheler on
Main street, is rapidly progressing.
Seneca ID. Townsend is quite i'll.
The Wallingford Standard of this week
has quite a vigorous editorial favoring the
reprieve of John p. Phair.
LUDLOW.
A. s. Day, eeq., n of the most worthy
and reliable citizens of Ludlow, who has
been in feeble health for a long time, has
p%erceptibly failed of late to such a degree,
that unless a change for the better is per-
ceptible soon, it is feared he may not long
survive.
Mr.. Day has been a resident of Ludlow a
goodly number of years, having removed
there from the adjoining town of Plym-
outh, his native place, we think. Such men
as MIR. d. form the reliable basis Of our
community, and can i'll be spared there
FROM. We trust n favorable change in his
condition may encourage a reasonable hope
that he may remain with us yet many
years, q blessing to his companion and
daughter and the community, in the midst
of which he has long resided.

for its faithful and impartial perform
violate 1t. This duty is, not to count
a part of the returns, but to count
them all. Whether some shall be counted
is a matter not submitted to their discre-
ton. Their declaration that they reject a
part of the whole number Of the votes re-
turEed would be a refusal TO make the
computation which the constitution COM
mands them TO make-a statement Of the
fact that their duty is left unperformed.
The legislature, by reasonable regulations,
may secure and facilitate the exercise of the
constitutional rights of voting /; but that
right cannot be legally destroyed by the
governor and council refusing TO count the
returns, which the constitution directs
them to count. Executive, as we'll as leg
islative and judicial powers and duties, ex-
ist only within constitutional limits. Acts
Of other branches of the government, as
well as acts of the legislature, may be un-
constitutional beyond the scope of their au-
thority and void. The plain meaning and
legal construction of the constitution is that
the returns, which it requires the
governor and council to count, 1t
forbids and disables them TO reject.
The power of rejection from which
1t excludes them cannot be conferred
upon them and cannot be exercised by
them. Their rejection of returned votes
for senators would be the exact opposite Of
what the supreme law of the state author
ICES and requires them to do, and beyond
the constitutional bounds of their jurisdic-
ton. And the statute requires them to
count the returns of votes for representa-
tives in congress in the mnnner 10 which
tho annuttttttio, roo,,sroo tko.. g. o1,,nt tbo
returns Of votes for senators. Our opinion
is based on these reasons and on other reas-
ons which 1t is not necessary here to set
forth because the foregoing are, in our
judgment, conclusive. The question is,
| whether, in counting the returns of votes
for representatives in congress and state
| senators, the governor and council have
any duty or power TO go behind the returns
and throw out, reject, or disregard any
votes ? Our answer is, no.
In this opinion, all the court concur,
except Judge Bingham who 'for reasons
/" peculiar to himself was excused from
| sitting as a member of the court in tho de-
cision but, as a citizen, be Gays "In
" view Of recent events, l may properly
" be allowed to express the hope that, in
" this state, the question having now been
i" three times decided by the court, with
" out any dissent, and without any conflict
Sing decision, it may be considered as finally
/" settled and put at rest"-and so it will
undoubtedly be until a democratic governor
and council again have the opportunity,
by ~disregarding the decision, of controlling
the organization of one or the other branch
of the legislature. The action of the gov
ernor and council and the judges in the
two instances illustrates the difference be-
tween democracy and republicanism in
New Hampshire if not anywhere else.

The Vermont Central Accounting.

]. Gregory Smith, Joseph Clark, w. @.
Smith, Benjamin P. Cheney and Lawrence
Barnes, as receivers and managers of the
Vermont Central and Vermont and Canada
railroads, appointed by the court of chanc-
cry of Franklin county, having filed their
accounts as ordered by the court, and objec-
tons to..the same having been made by
various parties, Hons. Paul Dillingham;,
Dudley Q. benson and John L. Edwards
were appointed special masters to hear OBJ
~jeclions and audit accounts.
The hearing commenced at st. Adams
July 81, 1875, and was concluded in Octo-
Der, twenty-nine sessions being held from
time to time to suit the convenience of par
ties. The masters have just completed and
filed their report, which is very elaborate
and voluminous. 1t completely v~indicates
the managers and receivers from the vari-
1t. recites the history of the receivership
and property, and finds the accounts cor
rect, with the exception OF two or three
items testified about by receivers and shown
to be technical and clerical errors or omis-
sions.
These masters report in accordance with
the receivers testimony. They find that
the secret service fund, 30 called, was kept
and turned over as portion of trust funds
and was not used for improper purposes.
The dealings of the receivers with the st.
Adams foundry company are found with
out fraud and the accounts allowed. The
masters found that the several parties in
interest assumed to control the manage
ment and developments of the property as
they thought best, using the court only in
the furtherance of their plans and wishes,
thus making the court nominally the guard
ian of the property, while in fact the par
ties in interest were its real guardians.
They find that the books and business
have always been open for the inspection
of parties in interest, and say that every
facility for investigation was afforded to
them by the managers. In closing, the re-
port says, we find the business of the trust,
in many respects necessarily complicated,
aud requiring great minutg to have been
done under a complete system with great
accuracy, and, although some errors nave
occurred in some of the details, they are
very slight compared with the great amount
of business transacted. The accounts are
settled, with trifing changes, in accord
ance with settlement by the advisory COM
mittee Of first and second mortgage bond
holders from time to time as accounts &C.
| crued.

weeks my friends expected that l might
die any day, having entirely ~despaired of
my recovery. AT this time l read the ad-
vertisements and certificates of the WILD
CHERRY BALsAM, and was induced to try
it myself. l have taken Ave bottles, and
from the commencement l have been grad
ually recovering. My cough has now en-
tirely ceased. | have regained M flesh
and strength, and am feeling quite well. l
attribute the cure TO DR.. WIsTAR's BAL

On Wednesday afternoon, April 1S, the

which YVES accomplished without accident,
although Master Clayton Culver, son of

escape from what would have probably
been instant death. A heavy oak rafter
fell from the building which, but for its
striking a board and glancing aside the
