SMALL Pox AT ESosBUReH FALLS The
St. Adams Messenger learns that small pox
has broken out again al Enosburgh Falls and
that the exposure has been considerable. The
selectmen took pains to confne it TO the
houses where it broke out before and sup
posed they had accomplished their purpose.
But a Frenchman named Bean, who had
been employed as a nurse at W. A. Ken
dalls, went to and from his home and work
ed upon the railroad with others. The result,
thus far, is that one of his children has come
down with the disease and was nearly dead
with it before physician was called The
child attended the Catholic school, where it
is feared many were exposed. That school
and the public schools have been closed, as a
precautionary measure, and the authorities
have established pest house.

one taken in these waters for over forty years.
They once swarmed at the mouth of the

there; and the question is, Is this salmon

tom of its remote ancestors, and strayed from
the sea, up the St Lawrence and Richelieu
rivers into Lake Champlain, in search of the
old spawning beds in the Saranac River,
from which they were shut off by dams near

SOCIALISM. Instead of strlsing for

Chicago lurnitare workers have just been
doing, a little handful OF furniture work
ers in st. Louis, the leading men among
whom are socialists, organized last au-
tumn, a cooperative association. They
scraped together in December last about
$1,000, the savings of months, and began
work. The order book was open to every
man and "A secretary allotted jobs to work.
ingmen by the piece, with arbitration
provided in case of disputes. The society
has now 10 workmen, 1t began with GO /;
the So 900 cash has swollen to $22 900 /;
the establishment owned by the associa
ton contains an outfit OF the best wood
working machinery in St. Louis, put up
by the voluntary labor OF the men, and 1t
is fall Of small devices vcntilating fans,
benches tor lunch, etc., provided by the
men for their own comfort, and the ma

detective workmanship is docked from a
mans pay, and this establishment, owned
by capitallst-w prkmen, whose profits in
six mouths have been 20 per cent, is fast
underselling rival establishments in other

NFwsPAPEE BoRRow ERs~-An eI>
change recently published u letter from
lady subscriber in which she complains
ed bitterly OF the annoyance she exper-
fenced from the habit her female neigh
bors had Of constantly boz rowing her
paper. The exchange failed to advise
her on the subject, aud ms the matter is IL
serious one, we have ourselves looked
about for some method OF relief, and now
think we can offer the suffering lady and
all others similarly situated, an adequate
means of succor, Here is our plan: Let
the lady Immediately upon receiving tho
paper, carefully cut from 1t some item
IL makes no difference what il is--most
any item will do, only let it be neatly
and carefully removed from the paper.
Then the following proceeding will be
sure 10 ensue: In few minutes the
neighbors boy will come afier the paper
will take it home ~ within three minutes
he will emerge from the house-he will
scoot down town and very shortly return
with folded newspaper of The same date
as the one just borrowed. by the time
the clipped paper has circled around
amosg the female borrowers, the streets
will DO lively with hurrying boys, and
the revenue Of the newspaper will be
materially increased. Not one woman
among them all would be able TO sleep q
wink without knowing exactly what that
cut.out item was, The next day the
lady will pursue the same course, and
similar results will surely follow. In an
extremely obstinate neighborhood, these
proceedings will have to be repeated
three or four days, but not longer. BY
that time the lady will 10 able to read
her paper in peace, and the newspaper Il,
nances will be tn. gainer through sever
a new subscribers. This rule Is infalli-
BILE where the borrowers are females, but
it can't be vouched for in the case ofmen.
There isn't that inherent curiosity TO
work upon, and-and but perhaps we
are getting a little to deep. boston Couf-

BEWARE OF MoRTGAGEs.-PrOf Swing
wisely remarks that it will be a great mis-
take and "a great misfortune it the return
of good times shall bring back the old
fervor for property and adventure which
made mortgages among the most popular
things OF the day. "Mortgages, he adds,
"are pestilence, and debts are regular
cholera. Estates die under them. -
Churches sicken and have to be set up
with nights individuals pine away,
wives and children become dishesrtened
in the mortgages season. and the financial
grave,digger is busy day and night
Swamps and dirty houses were the black
death of Europe, debts are the plague of
America.

Come AHEAD.--Wilmington has
taken a "new departure" in tho building
Of houses. During last month there
were SO permits issued, "a Of which
were for dwellings. This is . over last
month, and 40 over the corresponding
month Of 1878.
It 10 useless to abuse the Democratic
City Council when such results follow
their economical management and reduc-
ton of taxation. The city will not in
crease if the taxes are high. People
will not invest money in real estate un-
less their is some resoLab!e hope for q
return of interest. If the Democrats are
encouraged to follow the good work they
have begun, aad keep down the expenses
BY refusing to do work that is not need
ed and thus lessen taxation, they will not
only induce our own citizens to build
houses but also induce people to come
here from abroad aud invest their money
in buildings. But so long as our taxes
are kept too high, with prospect OF
party getting into power that denies that
the city can be conducted on a revenue
that can be made from the present taA
rate, there inducements will not exist
On the contrary citizens will again re-
fuse to invest IN building houses.

COOPER OF SMYRNA, ARRESTED IN
LONDON FOR DARING FORaERIEs.
George Ringgold Cooper, of Smyrna,
Del, whose career as forger Is we'll
known in this country, was arrested In
London, OH Monday, for an extensive
forgery. Cooper, since his release from
Moyamensing Jail, in 1870, where he
served five years for forgery, laid quiet
for awhile and then went to California,
where he operated ON J. =. Treadwell,
by means OF forged checks, to the extent
of $4,000. He then went TO Europe,
and has since been living in grand style,
passing himself of as a genuine lord.
CooPER's CAREER IN LONDON.
Cooper's forgery was on Messrs. g lynn,
Mills & Co., of London, for a sum Of
$4,000. The check had been paid, and
but for the f0olhardiness of the forger,
the signature being perfect, Cooper would
have escaped. But when the detectives
and bankers thought he had flown he
coolly walked into the lions mouth
otherwise the banking house Of Messrs.
Glynn, Mills u Co. where he had the
audacity TO keep an account, and demand
ed to know what was all this talk about
a forged check. He was very indignant
but nevertheless Immediately arrested.
| This affair led further TO his detection in
in another forgery perpetrated on the
Bank of England in June last, for which
he was be arraigned to-day, and to
discovering the manner in which he has
been living in England while perpetrat.
ing his forgeries. The detectives found
that he has been residing at q beautiful
country seat called East Lodge, at Hem
mel Hampstead, Hertfordshire. There
he had carried out life in a sumptuoul
fashion. He had six horses, a drag, car
