ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Says the North Georgia Citizen, pub.
lished at Dalton, Georgia:
Most of the E. r., Va. & Ga. r r.
J roperty, from here to the Tonnes
see line, is owned by Tennessesns, who
have emily been paying the tax i'm
posed by Tennessee, which is much
smaller than Georgia's tax. Comp
troller Wright, of this State. held that
there was no reciprocal obligation un-
der the law, and that the road was
subject to Georgia's tax. This will
add from one to two thousand dollars
annually to our State Treasury.

ST. NICHOLAS,
Scribners Illustrated Magazine
For Girls and Bows.

John Greenleaf Whittier writes of ST.
NICHOLAS: 1T is little to say of this maya
zine that it is the best child's periodical in
the world" That it is calculated to delight
the little folk everywhere is indicated by the
fact that it is to be issued in French by Della
grave of Paris, and that even the far-away
little Moslems are now to have q volume
made up of TRANSACTIONS from ST. MICH
oLAs into Arabic.
Beginning with the November number,
this monthly magazine for children is
printed on heavier paper with wider mar
gins, and is so much enlarged that each
number contains eighty or more pages, with
stories, poems, illustrated articles of travel
etc; pages of large type for amusement of
the whole family. For the coming year
the publishers announce many brilliant
novelties, including
A NEW SERIAL BY MISS LOUISA M.
ALCOTE,
entitled Jack and JILL" It is written in
this faYorite authors best vein, and will
begin in the Christmas (December) issue.
There will be series of Open-Air Papers,

of outdoor life and incidents in many

THE DEATH-RATE OF Our country is
getting to be fearfully alarming, the
average of life being lessened every
year without any reasonable cause,
death resulting generally from the most
insignificant origin. At this season of
the year especially, cold is such a
common thing that in the hurry of
every day life we are apt to overlook
the dangers attending it ane often find
too late that a fever or lung trouble
has already set in. Thousands lose
their lives in this way every winter,
while had BoSchee's German Syrup been
taken, cure would have resulted, and
a large bill from a doctor been avoided.
For all diseases of the Throat and
Lungs, BQschees German Syrup has
proven itself to be the greatest discovery
of its kind in medicine, Every Drug.
gist in this country will tell you of its
wonderful effect. Over csc, 1000 bottles
sold last year without single failure

On Monday last, there was serious
fire at Gorham, N. H., nearly all of the
business portion of the village being
burned to the ground. The flames were
first discovered in barn in the rear
of the store of w. II. Philbrook about
1890 o'clock, and in spite of all efforts
rapidly spread, burning the building
of John w. Greenlaw, store and the
dwelling of w. II. Philbrook, the Noun

the residence and hardware of Demond

stock was saved from each in q dam
aged condition. Nearly all of Ex-

lies are homeless and twenty buildings
were destroyed. Seventeen business
firms were turned out of doors. Loss
fully $4,000. The most thickly settled
and business portion of the village is
gone. Nearly all the buildings are
more or less insured. A special train
from Portland with fire engines arrived
in season to do good service in quench-
ing the flames in the coal of the Grand
Trunk Railway. The losses by the in
surance companies are about as follows;

WHY WILL You Allow a cold to
advance in your system and thus en-
courage more serious maladies, such
as Pneumonia, Hemorrhages and Lung
troubles when an immediate relief can
be so readily attained. BOScheeS Ger
man Syrup has gained the largest sale in
the world for the cure of Coughs, Colds
and the severest Lung Diseases. 1t is
DIR. Boschee's famous German prescrip-
ton, and is prepared with the greatest
care, and no fear need be entertained
in administering it to the youngest
child, as per directions. The sale of
this medicine is unprecedented. Since
first introduced there has been a con-
slant increasing demand and without
a single report of failure to do its work
in any case. Ask your Druggist as to
the truth of these remarks. Large size
Is cents. Try it and be convinced.

HONOR FROM EUROPE. 1t is conced-
ed on all sides that DIR. Ayers Pills are
above comparison with other medi-
cines. Uniting the best elements
known to the chemist they are partic-
ularly effective against the numerous
stomachic disorders for which they are
recommended as a cure. These pills
are so mild, yet searching, that they
are often prescribed by doctors who
otherwise do not favor patent medi-
cines. Indeed, with the fruits of DIR.
Ayers genius in the shape of Pill, Sar-
saparilla, Ague Cure and Cherry Pee

through the swamps of tropical Ameri-
ca, or follow Stanley on his travels
through the interior of Africa.-AmSter-

Some of the New Jersey people are
engaged in a battle involving the en-
forcement of certain obsolete statutes.
Some of them called upon the authori-
ties to enforce the law against the sale
of beer on Sunday. Therenpon the
Germans, thus deprived of their lager
beer, well informed as to the condition
of the statutes, called for the enforce
ment of q whole code of ancient laws,
by which the sale of any article what
ever was forbidden on Sunday. The
consequence was that the saints en-
forced the laws against liquor selling,
and the sinners cut off the supply OF
milk, newspapers and other "necessi-
ties of Sunday life. AS much money
as usual was paid for papers. the streets
were full of drunken people, an ex-
policeman arrested q newstoy who
beat his captor severely and then es-
capped, and altogether the results were
unsatisfactory.

HISTORY or ESSEX COUNTY, VI,

by DIR. HIRAM A. GETTING, OF LUSENBgRG, VT.
The following historical sketch was written
for, and Is to be published by futile Il Co, in
an " Illustrated History of New England"
shortly to be issued; but by arrangement we
give it to our readers in advance.-ED.
The granite rocks occupy a large V
shaped area in the north part of the
county. Southwark the apex of
the Y is in the town of CRANKY,
south Of the road from Guildhall
to Victory. In this area are several
kinds of granite. In some places it is
desirable building stone, and has been
quarried in Norton and Brunswick. In
Ferdinand the granite is of an entirely
different character, and that quarried
ut Brunswick is fine-grained, light
colored granite of good quality. With
the granite rocks especially southwark
there are schists, and in the north cor
ner of CRANKY, not far from Moose
River. there is q. granite that closely
resembles the Concord granite of New
Hampshire. But here there is the
clearest evidence that it is eruptive.
1t not only penetrates the schist, but it
contains many fragments of it.
This probably extends into Victory,
but the forest hinders positive know
ledge, Near Brunswick Springs but
about tlree-fourths of mile from the
river, there is q beautiful posphyritic
granite. The crystals of feldspar are
about an inch in length.
sYENITIC GRANITE.
In Lexington there is granite rock
unlike either of those we have men,
toned, which probably forms the en-
tire mass of Mount Monadnock, and
extends into New Hampshire, where il
has some marked peculiarities.
DIABUsE AND DIoRoITE.
These rocks generally occur in mar
row bikes, and are of dark green col
or, compact and tough. Every towr
contains more or less of the bikes, bu
remarkable one crosses the Portland
and Ogdensburg rail road near Mile
Pond, in Concord containing % 1-2 De

1t has been extensively circulated in
Canada, as an argument in favor of the
discriminatory tariff against American
sugar, that the article supplied by the
American manufacturers was adultera-
ted. 1t is satisfactory to pote that this
accusation has been completely refuted
Mr.. Cartwright, ex-Finance Minister of
the Dominion, and Mr.. Mills, also u
member of the late government, both
stating in the debate at Ottawa, on the
23d, that an analyst specially employed
by the government had tested these
sugars and reported them pure.

Californians will vote on the ques-
ton of adopting or rejecting the new
Constitution that has been made for
them, ON the eth OF May. From the
accounts that are given of the proposed
"organic law" we should suppose it to
be the results of the labops Of Bedlam,
and therefore fit only tobe voted down.
OF the making of Constitutions there is
no end, and hence there should be no
end to their rejection.

The migration of colored people from
Louisiana and Mississippi has been
checked by the spring demand for
labor, the pacifying assurances of the
whites and the unwillingness of the up
river steamers to take passengers for fear
of offending local sentiment. One
traveller estimates that he has seen
800 refugees in camps along the river
begging to be taken on board. Funds
are being collected, both in Kansas
and elsewhere, to aid in setting up the
new arrivals in that State, and General
Garfield has introduced in the House
and Senator Ingalls, in the Senate q
proposition to authorize the issue of
rations and army clothing, to prevent
starvation. to the extent of 100000.

Congressman Lowe, of Alabama, is
charged with the responsibility for the
story that Senator Logan recruited
troops for the Confederate army. Gen.
Logan says it is lie, whoever told it.
Col. Lowe has invited Logan to fight a

of the challenge. he can afford to do
this, as his reputation for courage rests
