On Wednesday Of last week one
the most terrible accidents happened
in the town of Montfort that has ever
befallen our lot to chronicle. A Mr..
Carcharlot, farmer, went into the
field with his wife for a load of
corn to feed the hogs, and left three
children. the oldest only five years,
in the house. On returning with the
corn a most heart rending sight pre-
sented itself. The house was entirely
consumed by fire and the three
darling babes devoured by the hung
ry fiend. In the ashes and debris
were found several tiny, little bones
which bore evidence Of the result.
They were gathered into a box and
covered temporarily and On Sunday
taken to Highland to be buried.
What caused the fire is unknown,
but it's supposed the children must
have been playing with the Goals in
the stove.

The would-be King of these parts
indulged in roaring drunk at
Dodgevile the day after election,
and used such language that would
cause the lips of the most vulgar be-
ings to turn pale. But few papers
in the entire country would disgrace
their columns with such unwholsoms
dialect, and of course we desire to
class ourselves with the majority,
and hence refrain from repeating.

Another Bogus Medium Exposed.

perpetrated by Mrs. Hannah Pickering.
of Rochester, N. H.. in the name oil the
naturalization of spirits were exposed.
She has evaded the closest investiga-
tions at her home, and won great
celebrity. Representatives of Boston
and other papers have in vain sought
for an explanation of the mystery. She
would often bring out twenty to thirty
forms in an evening, from infants to
large men. She has been for several
days in Lowell, giving seances at the
residence of Francis Coward on Summer
street. Mr.. Coward is Chairman OF the
Board of Assessors, and believer IN
spirit manifestations.
On Saturday evening company OF
about thirty-five persons had assem-

S. Woods. who has attended many Of
Mrs. chickering's seances of late, had
supplied himself with powerful opera
glasses, by means of which he came to
the conclusion that Mrs. pickering her.

height and proportions by simple de-
vices. The infants were produced by

SUNLIGHT is even more necessary to
health in summer than in winter, for
one, among other reasons, that disin-
fectants of all sorts are more necessary
in summer than in winter. The rays
of heat quicken the vital powers, the
chemical rays exert their mysterious
and potent influence, and the illum-
mating rays, independent of the others,
as has been recently proved by Mr..
Crooke to the satisfaction of the ablest
scientists, communicate motion. The
exhalations from our bodies in warm
weather are more copious than they
are in cold weather, and if we shut out
the light from our houses we remove
the most efficient of all agents in de-
strOying what is unwholesome. The
noxious vapors, which free admission
of air and light would remove, are alb
sorbed by carpets and upholstery, and
become productive of disease. Those
who are accustomed to the darkness
and dampness of close rooms may not
consciously suffer therefrom, but that
they sustain real injury is evident in
their pallid faces, their fiaccid muscles
and nerveless movements. The con-
trast between them and those whose
lives pass in the open air is too evident
to need comment. 1t may not be
necessary to expose during the day
every room in the house to the direct
rays of the sun, but there should be
frequent opening of doors and windows,
SO that the solar-beam may perform its
beneficent Office. Bedrooms and other
rooms in constant use should receive
most careful attention in this respect.
Sick rooms especially require thorough
summing and ventilation, and, if posi-
BILE, should always have a southern as
pect. More patients die on the north
side of hospitals than on the south side;
there are more deaths on the shady
side of any street than on the sunny
side. AnOtable southern housekeeper.
observing strictly the following rule
during the summer months, kept her
house perfectly sweet and cool and dry
from May to October. Until ten o clock
in the morning all the doors and win
dows were opened wide; then they
were closed until four in the afternoon;
then opened again till nightfali. This
rule might not do for all localities, but
such use of it as should secure free
access of light and air to every part of
the house at least once day could but
be productive of good results. Cottage

A Female Baseball Club.

The only attempt on record of Dan
bury trying to organize female base
ball club occurred last week. 1t was q
rather incipient affair, but it demon
strated everything necessary, and IN
that particular answered every purpose.
The idea was cogitated and carried out
by six young ladies. II was merely de-
signed for an experiment on which to
base future action. The young ladies
were at the house of one of their num-
Der when the subject was brought up.
The premises are capacious and include
quite q piece of turf, hidden from the
street by several dropping, luxuriant,
old-fashioned apple-trees. The young
lady of the house has = brother who is
fond of baseball and has the necessary
machinery for a game. This was taken
out on the turf under the trees. The
ladies assembled and divided themselves
into two mines of three each. The first
three took the bat, and the second three
went to the bases-One as catcher, one
rs pitcher and the other as chaser or,
more technically, fielder. The pitcher
was lovely brunette. with eyes full of
dead earnestness. The catcher and
batter were blondes, with faces aflame
with expectation. The pitcher took the
ball, braced herself, put her arm straight
out from her shoulder, then moved it
around to her hack without modifying
in the least its delightful frigidity, and
then threw it. The batter did not catch
it. This was owing to the pitcher look
ing directly at the batter when she
aimed it. The fielder got long pole
and soon succeeded in poking the ball
from an apple-tree back Of the pitcher,
where it had lodged. Business was
then resumed again, although with .
faint semblance Of uneasiness generally
visible.
The pitcher was very red in tho face
and said, IL declarer' several times.
This time she took more careful aim,
but still neglected to look in some other
