Fatal Result of Drinking Poisoned Water.

Fatal Result of Drinking Poisoned Water.
BosroN, May 3l.-The Herald of to-day
publishes the following special from Island
Pond, VT: The entire school district known
as the Jacob Mills district, 10 miles from
here, numbering 20 children, drank water
from a brook poisoned by the carcasses of
dead horses and sheep, also potato tops upon
which paris green had been used, they being
thrown into the brook. Seventeen children
were taken down, and IL are dead. The
others can not live. Edward Morse lost
two, Fred Simpson one, L. Wilson one, Mr.
Park one, John Cole one, and John Aldrch
five, his entire family of children. Mrs
Aldrich is hopelessly insane. The children
suffered untold egonies, and after death the
bodies became putrid and required imms-
diate burial. Work has been suspe nded,
and great excitement prevails. The teacher
of the school noticed something wrong
about the taste of the water and forbade
its use in the school, but IL of
the scholars used it and were stricken down
within "a hours. One of the children, son
OF Mr.. Hudson, pulled through. Just above
the school house was field of potatoes last
season. and paris green was used extensively
to exterminase potato bugs. The potato
tops were dumped into the barn yard of
Horace Cheney, who built drain from the
barn yard to the brook. He also burr d
colt in the spring of 1878 on
the edge of the brook, and the flowing
A Mr.. Simpson, who mas lost one child,
objected to the colt being buried there, and
caused Cheney to move it and bury it
elsewhere, which was done, but it was
buried in a swamp only so feet from the
brook, the water of which ran into the
brook. Cheney remarked that he guessed
he hadn't bettered 1t much. Violent threats
are freely expressed toward Cheney. Sam

form, and will soon recover. Six physicians
have been unremittipg in their attendance.
Public opinion runs high, each one having
his or her views of the trouble, no two
stories being alike. THE brook was poi
soned, and Cheney did it." is a common
expression. The matter will be thoroughly
and properly sifted, and the offenders, II
any, will meet with just punishment.

A Few Words Upon Incidence and Harsh

A Few Words Upon Incidence and Harsh
ness.
tCommunicated.l
Incidence as described by Webster, means
habitual idleness and laziness. In other
words an indolent person Is one who is
habituslly idle, and Of course lazy; one who
when offered work refuses to labor. Do not
understand us to say that any one who is
out of work, or who does not work, is lazy;
for the case sometimes happens that dis
eases. or causes over which the man has no
control, binders him from performing
either mental or physical labor. In such
cases it is always excusabls. In other cases
man may be out of employment without
any opportunity of doing otherwise. who
would willingly work If he had it to do.
OF course a man may get Respondent and
lose all the snap and vigor which he FORM
erly possessed, after he remains idle awhile;
but let something present itself which may
occupy his attention, and give him physical
and mental work, and his former vIgor will
appear. Why, he will seem like new crea-
ture, simply because he has something which
Is occupying his attention.
On the other hand au Indolent person
always seems contented with his lot.
We should not be hasty and condemn the
first because we know he has worked when
he had it to do; and worked willingly and
not always chide him; do not
always keep telling him that you knew
he was of DO account, and will always be a
drag on society; do not keep telling him that
you know he will suck the hind tit, and will
always be poor and worthless. Such words
are very harsh upon the feelings. and are
very apt to be remembered In after life,
when long years have fled; when families
are broken up and scattered, when those
who are brothers and were playmates may
come together and visit a kind parents
grave whom they have reason to believe are
in Heaven.
1t is especially so when the mother is
dead. for you know full we'll that the mother
has very much to do with the raising of a
fsmily. There are thousands OF instances
where children have been wild and DISC
bedient. simply because there was no kind
mothers hand to guide and direct them.
second mother may try TO fill the place
vacated by tho FIRST, but she does not always
command the influence aud reverence which
would be due an own mother. In other
words, never kick man when he is down.
when he starts down hill do not, by using
harsh words, make him think he is irrevoca-
bly, lost 1t is better by kind words and

Names of Fingers.

tJack-in-the-Pulpit;" st. Nicholas for June.l
Here are the names formerly given the
fingers:
First comes Thumb"
But that isn't fingerp' you say.
Well, perhsps that is the why it was
called Thumb"
Then come TOUGHER or Foreman"
'sLongman," 'sLeechman" and "Littleman."
It's plain enough how TOUGHER, Longmsn
and Littleman came by their name; but
Leechman got his in this roundabout way:
1t appears that in the misty past folks be-
lieved that nerve ran straight from the
third finger to the heart. Likewise, they
thought this finger felt the effects of poison
more quickly and delicstely than any of
the other fingers. Thirdly, and lastly, they
made a point of stirring up their physic
with it.
So, you see. this finger had great deal to
do with sickness. and getting we'll, and
physic, aud such matters, and as they called
the man who physicked them-the doctor
"leech," 1t saved trouble to give the same
name to the physic-finger and call 1t
"Leechman."

this, many exhaust their beds by cutting too
late. The old rule to stop when green peas
come is a good one. When cutting ceases,
let the tops grow; their shade will keer

ones that may appear are to be pulled by

greedy worms are out for their breakfast,
and while the dew is glistening on the nests,
is the most favorable time to take them.

KITCHEN AND MARKET GARDEN.
Weed the celery seed-bed, and if the

out, cut off their tops; this will make them
stocky.
Carrots for the late crop may still be sown,
using plenty of seed, as the young plants
are weak and can not break through the

The early crop of cabbages should be kept
growing by frequent hoeiDgs. Plants of the
late sorts in seed-beds should not be too
crowded. and the cabbage worm kept off;
picking will answer here.
Those who would enjoy beets in their per
| lection should keep up succession of the

Trimmings of these and of the late crop make
an excellant substitute for spinach.

Advice Gratis to Politicians.

We respectfully urge the politicians not
to make themselves ridiculous before the
people this year. The voters are beginning
to look at matters and men in the clear
light of day, and an unexpected burst OF
derisive laughter from an attentive audience
is not pleasant to an impassioned public
orator bent on saving his country from the
grasp OF the opposite party.
We are led to give this caution by sor-
rowful tale we hear of Mr.. Charles Foster,
the republican candidate for Governor in
Ohio. Mr.. Foster, addressing his fellow
citizens somewhere, fell, naturally. into
patriotic "reminiscences of the late un-
pleasantness, and began to boast about the
war. "We fought four years to save this
Union," he cried out, and was greeted
by unanimous shouts of laughter from
his hearers, who remembered that Mr..
Foster, though of proper age when the war
broke out and man of wealth. did not
enter the army at all, but prudently stayed
at home attending to his business. AS his
opponent, General Ewing, did serve
bravely and with distinction in the Union
did was undoubtedly ridiculous, and he de-
served to be laughed at.
On the other side they are not much bet
ter. Here, for instance, democratic jour-
nal is outraged that the clerks in the
Washington departments were asked on
the last pay day to subscribe to the repub-
lican campaign fund-"In the Third Au-
ditor's Office of the Treasury Department
alone seven hundred dollars were thus
raised All the clerks Of the Second Comp
troller's office except one responded, and
that ones name and political record were
asked for and noted. This sort of thing is
going on throughout the departments. The
bleeding process is being applied with
extraordinary vigor and success.
This is dreadful, to be sure but how is
it in the New York city departments, where
the democrats rule? And cannot the
democrats see that their own course in
turning out republican clerks and other
subordinates in the two houses of Congress
is notice to all the government clerks that
if the democrats elect President all OF
them will be turned out2 Could anything
else serve so well to make them subscribe
money to keep the republican party in
power?
Then, again, we hopo when Southern
democratic speakers come North this sum
mer they will spare US any allusion to the
sacredness of the constitution. They only
make Northern hearers laugh for every
body up here remembers how sacred the
constitution seemed to these gentlemen
from 1861 to 1865.
