let them know that he knew of their

the quick, short commands of the Off
Gers, and, from the sounds, he supposed
that the troops were retiring from the

ing assured that the garrison had been in
formed of his movements, and was pre-
pared to receive him, saw that he could
not surprise the post as he had hoped to
do, and deemed it prudent to wait until
daylight before making his attack.
At sunrise he summoned the garrison

summons.

The Latest Invention IN Useful House,
hold Articles.


Within the last few years there has
been expended great deal of inven-
tive thought and genius upon what may
properly be classed as household arti-
Giles, the most noted results of which
are the production of the sewing ma
chine, the wringer, the washing ina
chine, the carpet sweeper, etc. Almost
every week we chronicle the advent of
some new invention by which the cares
and labors of housekeeping are les
sened, and woman's work made easier.
The newest thing to challenge our at
tention and gladden. the heart of the
housekeeper, is what is called the
Novelty Brush Holder, Carpet Stretcher
and Sweeper, avery simple continuance
designed to FIRMLY hold in position any
kind of u brush or duster; having all
extension handle that enables one to
wash or dust windows, walls or cell
ings without the aid of step ladder.
That is one of its conveniences, and ii
is also one of the best carpet swecpers
in the market, holding the brush firmly
at any angle. 1t cleans the carpet thor
oughly, raises no dust, and does not
wear the carpet like the ordinary broom
or brush, and will outwear half dozen
brooms. AS handle for the scrubbing
brush it is the best device ever made,
no more meetings on the floor, no
more back aches or sore fingers.
AS carpet stretcher alone it is worth
its cost, as carpet of any size can be
laid evenly without any of the labor
and vexation usually attending such
WORK. 1t is strong, simple, thoroughly
made, cannot get out of order, has nc
screws, lever or hinges, is compact
cheap and durable.
1t is manufactured by Brown & Co.,
Cincinnati, the well-known manufac.
turers of useful household articles, and
is sold only by their agents to house
keepers. The real utility of this article
will at once be seen by those most in
terested, and we predict for it a large
sale. Every housekeeper in the land
will want one.
Any reliable lady or gentleman wish.

do well to secure the agency for this

Boston May 4.-The receipts of butter for the

las 4i6 packages, against 15l lS2 for the same time

and warmer weatecr. there Is an easier tendency
in the market, and prices are about two cents per
crcameries l9c Is q top price. Choice dairies can.
not now be quoted over IL Ice, and only finest
Vermont dairy lots will command the outside

BE, and 1t would be difficult to force much of at

be placed at lSa14c. but very little Western com.
ing in is worth over 12c per pound. The market
closes with dull and unsettled tone, ana still
lower prices are looked for. Buyers are not dis
posed cooperate except for immediate wants
and lots that are not strictly choice are hard to
sell at any reasonable figure.

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from prac-
tice, having had placed in his hands by
an East India missionary the formula
of a simple vegetable remedy for the
speedy and permanent cure of con-
sumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma,
and all throat and lung affections, also
a positive and radical cure for nervous
debility and all nervous complaints, af-
ter having tested its wonderful curative
powers in thousands of cases, has felt it
his duty to make it known to his suffer-
ing fellows. Actuated by this motive,
and desire to relieve human suffering,

desire it, this recipe, with full direc-
tons for preparing and using, in Ger

Great Explosion IN Canada.

STRATFoRD, Ont, May "a few min
utes before 10 o'clock this morning, the
whole town was shaken as if by the
shock of an earthquake. Windows were
blown in, and even sidewalks, upon
which people were walking, were shak-
en- so as to cause the pedestrians to
fall. The cause was soon made appar-
ent A car laden with dynamite had
exploded at the Grand Trunk freight
yard.
The wreck made by the explosion
beggars description. Under the dy-
Mantle car, a hole twenty feet in depth
was scooped ont by the explosion. The
end of the brick freight shed and por-
ton of the roof were blown down 4;
several frame buildings were levelled
to the ground, and about fifty freight
cars lying in the yard were utterly
wrecked. The business part of the
town is nearly mile from the scene of
the explosion, but it shared in the dis
aster. Valuable plate glass windows
were broken and many others were
blown in. Two Oft clerks, Messrs.
Drysdale and Porter, were in the office
at the time and had narrow escape.
The building was shattered into thou
sand pieces, and how they escaped I'M
hurt is miracle. One man who was
walking towards the freight house was
blown over the fence and sustained on
ly feW scratche0. A fragment of iron
weighing over pound was driven
through a window of the Crown Hotel,
half mile from the explosion. The
shock was felt in all the surrounding
towns and 1t was supposed to be am
earthquake.
The car upon which the explosion oc-
Cured was freighted at Montreal for
Amherst Curg and contained thirty
packages which were entered as blast
ing powder. They were shipped on ac-
count of Mr.. Vanderbilt, TO be used in
blasting the Detroit tunnel. When the
explosion occurred, the cars were being
shunted in the yard. The damage will
exceed 100000.

The Part OF Vermont IN the War for the
Union.

To the Soldiers and Sailors of Ver-
mont: Under the action of the last
Legislature, and by appointment of the
Governor, the undersigned has had
committed to him this task of "collect-
ing and compiling ready for publica-
ton, history of the part taken by the
Vermont soldiers and sailors in the War
of the Rebellion"
This undertaking, delayed through
years in which the grave has covered
the sources of much valuable informa-
ton in regard to the services of our
soldiers in the field, can now be sue
cessfully completed only through the
active cooperation ofthe surviving vet
Grams of the war. Their interest in il
Is second 10 that of no other class of
our people-it is pre-eminently their af-
fair-lhe history is that which they and
their fallen comrades made-and then
chiefly must supply whatever can be ad-
ded to the already published record.
The State Historian accordingly in
vites the soldiers and sailors, officers
and privates, of Vermont, to send him
such material as they can supply, in the
shape of diaries or journals of the SER
vice letters written at the time, descrip-
tive Of actions and important events;
additions to or corrections OF official re-
ports; description of incidents and ac-
counts of movements and engageme nts,
which may furnish the facts needed for
the complete and connected record.
1t is Of course important that the in
formation 30 furnished be accurate and
full that IL be furnished in concise and
methodical shape, and with as little de-
lay as is consistent with these require
ments.
ANY documents so sent will, if de-
sired, be preserved and returned to the
senders.

~ The Democrats in Congress are
trying to evolve bill prohibiting the
use of troops in federal elections which
the president will sign. The object is
simply to deliver the South over to the
Democrats bound hand and foot, so that
Democratic ruffians can capture by
force all the elections, and snap theil
fingers at the government. The new
rebellion is working cunningly, but it,
objects are too plainly visible to make

~ The awful murder Of little Edith
Freeman by her father is crime whose
recital inspires horror hardly felt re-
garding even the most atrocious muir
ders OF little children which have more
than once shocked The public in recent
years. The sickening slaughter of
Katie Curran by the boy-fiend, Jesse
Pomeroy, or the killing of mabel Young
by Thomas Piper in the church tower
in Boston, were the doings of hardly
sane persons, but here were father
and mother, both evidently sane and
intelligent, who allowed delusion of
the devil to take possession of their
minds so far that they could consent to
and execute, after prayer and dclibera-
ton, the murder of sleeping child
whom they loved as parents love. Re-
ligious fanaticism has in all ages had
many fearful crimes to answer for, and
this case is warning that nineteenth
century civilization is no bar to its foul
est results, even in Massachusetts. For
this was not the crime of one man
alone; large numbers of his neighbors
abetted him by witnessing and conceal
ing what they saw, and they claim that
the unnatural father did right in giving
himself up fully to the lie that possessed
him. Doubtless the law will determine
properly the punishment due the Grim
inals, and perhaps little Edith Freeman
will not have died in vain if other COM
munities similarly possessed shall by her
fate be restrained within the bounds of
law and common sense, so far at least
as their acts are concerned.
