CAPE Town, March acknowledgements are

attempted. An unsuccessful endeavor was
made yesterday to communicate with the
Lekowe garrison by signal. King Gateway IS
brother, Oham's overtures for submission were
a ruse to cover his retreat to Swazieland. The
reports that Cettewao had sent messengers to
sue for peace are false. A body of Basutos
crossed the river Terle on the 9th inst, stole
some horses, and fired on the colonial forces,
who repulsed them with loss of twenty killed
and wounded. All quiet in Transvaal.

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-

Notes from POultney.

PoULTNEY, VT, Apr. 28, 1879.
EDITOR REGIsTER:-At about half
past one O'Clock last Friday morning,
the people of Poultney were startled by
the alarm of fire. The flames appeared
to be completely enveloping the new
steam saw-mill and manufacturing
buildings, owned by Messrs. Ripley &
Stanley. 1t was too late to save any
thing when the fire was discovered. In
an hour the entire structure was q smol-
dering ruin. This was q new building
reared on the same ground where the
same gentlemen were burned out last
June. 1t was fitted up with the most
improved machinery, and was worth
about $4,000. Insured for about
$500. 1t was the chief manufacturing
establishment in town, and is a heavy
loss to our industry. The fire origlna-
ted in the engine Dom Report says
the mill will soon be replaced.
Two women living alone in the south
part of Poultney, were aroused from
slumber, Apr. %, at 2 A.. NJ, by the at
tempt to open a window. One of the
women opened the door to go for help,
when she was attacked and followed
back into the house, but the other wo-
man rushed out and was overtaken by
the ~assailant, who seized her by the hair
and struck her with his fist, and after
wards beat her head upon some rocks.
The brute then, %supposing his victim
dead, left. 1t is thought to be well
known who was the perpetrator of this
as well as several other housebreakings
and robberies which have occurred In
this vicinity within the past few weeks.
The officers have as yet failed in their
efforts to secure the villain, and it is
feared that there is not stamina enough
in our village to ferret him out. For
the arrest of those who have committed
deeds but little more atrocious than
this in neighboring towns, thousands of
dollars have been offered. The result
has generally been the capture of the
criminal. In a case so PLAIN as this ap-
pears to be, surely the town authorities
shonld be made to suffer if they fail to
do their duty. III. A. C.

a Rev. Charles Lathrop, a retired
congregational clergyman of Salem,
Mass, formerly of Amherst, is a gen.
tleman who believes in family govern
ment to such an extent that he logged
his grown-up daughters and disciplined
MS wife in a manner which, however
effective in securing proper obedience
and respect for his authority, is unusual
IN civilized family government. Heis
~ fact, an unmitigated brute, of the
Kind that deserves a kick from every
decent man. The Springfield Republi.
can took it upon itself to administer Q
Kicking by telling all it could find on,
about the reverend savage, whereupor
the latter sued the Republican for 800.
w for the damage it had done his char.
acter and reputation. The Republican
proved every charge it had made
against him. But twelve good men
ana rue awarded the clerical brute
one thousand dollars damages. This
queer verdict is perhaps applicable on
the theory that the twelve did not So
much feel that the Rev. L~athrep's char
acter was worth one thousand dollars,
as thai the Republican deserved a little
punishment for its general ~cussedness.
In that view of the case there are not q
few who will agree with the good men

nvOur state agricultural college is
not making itself Extensively manifest
OF late.5 Whether the faculty has in
some way forgotten that they are an
agricultural faculty, or whether their
time Is too much occupied in increasing
the explosive power of mixtures of OK
ygen and hydrogen by adding nitrogen
to the combination, is not clear, but
certain 1t is that the planting season is
nearly here, and they have not yet be.

lege is not doing its duty. 1t was

the medium of lectures TO cause our

Of evil disposed farmers of the state,

@-Our Congress continually urges
IN Justification of its questionable legis-
iation that the people demand it of
tnem as their representatives. Two
things are to be noted in considering
this plea. One is, that the average
Congressman is very apt to mistake his
own opinions and ambitions for the
popular voice. The other is, that the
people have no right whatever to de-
nand illegal and unconstitutional legis.
iation, or legislation secured by illegal
and unconstitutional methods. 1t has
oi'en happened that the executive is a
far more correct exponent of the popular
will than Congress.

Meteorological,

MIR. EDITOR, SlR:-The weather is
talked and thought much about. Now
all should study to know all they can
about it. Not to go to Candlemas day,
either. Many talk about those signs,
while but few know the meaning of the
day. Aged men say when we have
lightning in early spring, a cold, back
ward spring follows. Many will not
forget the thunder and lightning of
late, you spoke of in Ripton. Frost and
hail may be expected, too, the coming
season. You reported that the u
passed the line in the North. Professor
Seely says he don't think it has any eff
feet about things. Others do. Let all
observe and see If storms until Septem-
Der do not clear off cold and wind
north. 1t does not depend all upon the
passing of the line; more upon how
wind and weather is chiefly about that
time, Just before and after; about then,
too. GEORGE ROSE.
Professors Roses views OH the
weather, expressed, as they are, with
his customary epigrammatic terseness,
should call the attention of our readers
to the interesting point mentioned
above. We believe it has not been very
generally noticed whether storms for
six months after the vernal equinox al
ways clear off with the wind in the
same direction as it has at the
equinox, and with a rising or falling
temperature according as the equi-
nox is succeeded by a higher or lower
temperature. AT the last equinox the
wind was from the north and was cold.
Hence the Professor strenuously main
tains that all the storms for the half
year succeeding that period will clear
of with the wind in the north and with
a lower temperature. Thus far the
facts seem to be in accordance with his
views. We would say hat the Profess
sor modestly disclaims being the origi-
nator ofthis theory, but says it embodies
the results of the observations of sever
al generations of cold men,"
