LIQUoR Prosecutions IN WINDSOR COUNTY.
A White River Junction despatch, dated
Dec. Il, says: Hon. G. A. Davis, state 3 at
torney of Windsor county, is vigorously pros
ecuting the whiskey, cider, and beer vendors
who have violated the laws by making indis-
crmnate sales. About one hundred and
fifty witnesses were summoned before the
grand jury at the opening of the present term
of the court at Woodstock to give testimony
in the suits commenced against the saloon
keepers. Among those prosecuted are Asa
T. Barron and A. ]. Grover of this place,
and c. W. Pease of White River village, one
mile north of this place At Woodstock,
this morning, Barron pleaded guilty to 30 I'M
lawful sales of liquor rather than take his
chances of trial before petit jury on the
counts against him. The court accepted his
plea, and he will be fined $500 and costs.
Barron is also under indictment for commit
ting assault and battery, with the assistance
of his son Abel upon a little boy named
Quint of this place. Grover was indicted on
% counts, but succeeded in reducing the
number to 20, and was fined $500 and costs,
which he paid. Other parties in various
portions of the county have been mulcted in
heavy damages for selling cider, beer, etc,
and several others are likely to be prescott

Wonderful Escape of q Boy.

A Meadeville,l Pa, dispatch to the
Cleveland Herald SAYS:
At two o'clock this morning, while
the express west was passing through
the banks seven miles east of this city,
a boy named Fred Moss, aged eight
years, stepped off the train while it was
bowling along at a forty.fve mile rate
of speed. No one saw Freddy 20 out
of the car, and as his friends, as we'll as
other passengers, were sleeping at the
time, it was not strange that he was not
missed, at once. Not until the train
arrived at Warren, o. this morning,
three hours later and sixty-fve miles
from the point of the accident, was the
boys absence discovered. The parents
stepped off at Warren to await tidings
OF their lost boy, and, all train men
along the line were telegraphed to
watch Tor the remains of the child:
Early this morning, boy answering
the description walked in the railroad
station at Saegerstown and reported
himself as Fred Moss. He was sent 10
the city on the first train, and later for
warded to his anxious parents. The
boy Is an intelligent lad, and says he
- ""so Ooou' aS4cep, RS the QfSt
thing he remembered was that he was
turning, somersaults rapidly. Strange
to say, he was not injured, except that
his nose was bumped and lis lin
slightly bruised. Among the railroad
officials here he was the hero of the
day. They only could appreciate the
wonderful escape. The family are

Locusts as FOod.

st. Mark describes the diet of John
the Baptist as consisting Of g locusts
and wild honey" Some commentators
have explained "locusts as denoting
some kind Of bread or wild fruit. This
is an error, for locusts are eaten as food
by many people in the East. A recent
writer on the curiosities of food, &C.
cords to the locusts the first place, in
the purely insect world, as an article
of diet. He says: ..,.,l
From the remotest antiquity the To-
Gust has been used for food-lwitness
the sculptures OF Assyria-and at the
present day they are devoured in enor-
nous quantities by many different races.
Yet there is a wide divergence OF
opinion regarding the value of. the To-
Gusts as food. ..'! q,
Some travellers describe locusts as q
desperate makeshift; others us passable;
others, again, us resembling shrimps in
delicacy and flavor. They compete
