White River Junction.

MR. EDITOR. Il saw au article IN
the last issue of your valuable paper
headed the White River Junction
scandal, saying that the sou Of re.
spectacle farmer named Chandler, and
Miss Howe were the parties. Now,
Mr.. Editor we have no such scandal
here. This story comes from q holy
place called Christian Street about
three miles from this place, and proves
TO be true. So please correct, or down
goes your house. We do not, Mr..
Editor, set ourselves up as patterns Of
virtue and piety, Jet we do call our
selves as moral as the generality OF
people. We have few among us
who do not live up to the requirements
of the law, and some Of the people are
ready 10 stone them. To all such l
would say rs Christ sad to the Jews
who were about to stone the woman,
"Iou who are without sin cast the first
stone" Now, Mr.. Editor, it is an old
saying that a pc, should never call a
kettle black, or, in other words, PEG.
pie should not call one another sim
ners, tor we are all sinners. We have
overrlghteous ones among us who
claim to be more holy than their
brother man. Yet these same profes
sors will get up in church and tell the
people how very wicked they are, but
how they are agoing to do better at
some future time | have heard this
same class of christians 60 through
with this same ceremony for the past
forty years. Now, Mr.. Editor, 7 have
no charity for such christians for they
are wolves in sleeps clothing. Yet
we are no worse than other people.
You will find wolves in sleeps cloth.
ing in all societies. At the present
day the worship OF the almighty dollar
seems TO be the only religion that has
any vitality. Faith, hope, and charity
are dead, and the church itself is eager
to worship the golden calf set up. by
the God Of mammon. Society, and
our churches are rotten to the very
core. TIE sordid worship of the
money bags has degraded all branches
of business. And crimes that once
shamed the old world are now as COM
mon among us as the noon day sun.
Why is this so, Mr.. Editor? There
must be some cause at the bottom.
1t will not do to lay the blame on to
the churches. o, no. If we do they
will denodnce us to the world las poor
wicked sinners only fit to inhabit the
internal regions. We must however
lay some of the blame at the door of
the church. Do they set good exam
pies for the rising generation to fol
low 4? Does the church practice what
they preach o, no, far from that.
They tell us that we must not gamble
for it is very wicked and God will be
displeased with US if we do. Yet they
will hold their fairs. have their lotter.

SOME calculations have been made
of the number of changes which the
kaleidoscope is capable of producing.
Surprising the instrument to contain
twenty small pieces of glass, etc., and
that you make ten changes in each min
ute, it would require 49,, 1886, 899 $50
years and $50 days to complete the
number Of changes it is capable of pro-
ducing. Even with twelve small objects,
at the rate of ten changes q minute, it
would consume ninety-one years and
forty nine days to exhaust its variations.
These statements may seem incredible
at first. but they have been proved
eorrect.

Died In q Dentists Chair.

Mrs. Hannah O'Shea, aged 46 years
and who resides on the Troy Road,
came to this city to-day, and about noon,
accompanied by friend named Mrs.
Ryan, visited the Office of DIR. E. w.
Willett, for the purpose of having sew
eral teeth extracted. Mrs. Shea declin-
to take any ether or gas, and the Doc
tor commenced operations. After two
or three teeth had been extracted, the
patient suddenly turned pale, gasped a
few times, and before assistance could
be summoned, expired in the chair
Death is supposed to have resulted from
rupture of the heart. Mrs. Ryan gave
the following statement of the affair
=" Hannah Shea was a friend of mine,
residing on the Troy Road; she wrote
and asked me if I would go with her to
the dentists; she came down to-day,
and about IL o'clock we reached DR..
Willett's office; l was acquainted with
the Doctor, as he had done work for
me for some time past; he examined
her teeth and said there we're four that
needed extraction; she said she was
nervous, but did not wish to take any
gas or ether; after the extraction of the
first tooth she said to me that it did not
hurt much, and that she was well pleas
ed; she then turned to the Doctor and
said she was ready for the next; the
Doctor then extracted the second tooth;
Mrs. Shea then raised her head but did
not say any thing; 1 saw that something
was the matter with her; she appeared
deadly pale or CHASTITY; she gasped
few times, and DR.. Willett said she had
within about three minutes, I
think, she was dead; restoratives were
used and medical aid summoned imme-
diately, but she was dead before any
came" As will be seen from this state
ment no blame can attach to DIR. Will

RUSSIAN soldiers are sorted, as far as
practicable, according to their size and
complexion. The late Emperor Nicho-
las was especially exact in this. He had
huzzar regiment entirely composed of
dark-haired men pitted with the small
pox, and another of light-haired men
similarly SCARED. The soldiers of one
regiment all had fair hair, blue eyes and
slight figures, and another of swarthy
features and hooked noses. Assert
ments are less exact at present, butcare
is taken to bring men together speaking
different dialects in order to guard
against mutiny.
