ACCIDENT.-As Mr.. A. w. Newell OF
Hardwick was getting into his wagon
in front of T. C. Fletcher & Co.'s store
Wednesday morning, the team contain

Mr.. Newell was thrown under the
wheels bruising his head and spraining
his ANGLE. The injury is not as serious

WESTON.

A minute and half after the others
started, Weston took the score and.
started off at a deliberate gait, using up
fully six minutes on the first half mile.
this was the most time he took on any
one round. After this he ran some,
skipped, paced or walked, as he chose,
(Which of course he had no right to do
in a walking match.) He made five
miles in just so minutes, the last half
mile walking backwards. He continued
on, completing six miles in one hour
and one minute. At the close he seem
ed fresh, and to all appearance could
have run around the track with ease.
THE COUNTY TROT.

horses were entered with the following

THE WALKING MATCH.

A good deal of interest was manifest
ed in the walking match which was
advertised at 100 p. m. of the second
day. After the usual delay, Mr.. E. P.
Weston appeared on the judges stand
and said he did not now attempt to
show what he could do, as there was no
competition, but he would just give the
people an idea of his style of walking.
The announcement was made that four
men would compete for the $50 purse
offered by the society. Henry Lecour
of st. Adams, Harry Wilkins of White
field, D. H. Rogers and Geo. N. Knapp
of st. Johnsbury, entered the list. At
the word "go," Wilkins who started
last, skipped in to the front. Knapp
soon passed him however, and the walk
lists soon ranged in the following order
which they ever after kept, with one
exception: Knapp first, Wilkins sec
ond, Lecour third, Rogers last. At the
end of the first half mile, Rogers with
drew. The other three kept on their
full hour; Knapp leading and Wilkins
close at his heels; Lecour falling con-
siderably to the rear. At the end of
the eighth or ninth half mile, Wilkins
made a squirt and passed Knapp, and
then threw himself fiat upon the
ground, evidently thinking the race was
over. On learning his mistake, he
gathered up and pulled on after Knapp
who had meantime made quite gap be
tween them. Although Wilkins walk
ed splendidly, he could not overcome
the prodigious strides of Knapp, who
came in a few feet in advance. There
was considerable misunderstanding,
caused by the interference of outsiders,
or in some other way, as both the lead
ing contestants stopped at two differ
ent times thinking their task ended
They walked over five miles within the
hour.

OF law-not only direct, but intcn-
tional This young man has been un.
lawfully paid about $4,000 for sup.
posed services IN position TO which
no man had a right to assign him. IT
is by far the worst case on the army
register but Gen Sherman is not the
responsible party.
Mrs Grant asked Gen. Sherman to
have her boy Fred, detailed in a slmi,
lar capacity on his staff, but he fatty
declined, He told Mrs Grant that
Gen. Grant would not expect him To
do an act of such gross injustice To
older officers, which would be regard
cd as Il most Objectionable precedent.
Failing TO induce sherman to crafty
her wish, Mrs. Grant applied to Sheri
dan, and he consented to the shameful
arrangement, although wounded vet.
eran had to be sent TO the front in or,
der to make room for the downy youth
from Wost Point.
If there is any such thing as the
American theory of government, If we
are not fraud as a people and if our
system is not an arrant humbug, the
son OF President has just the same
rights in civil or military life as the
son of butcher or baker. But thit
stripping was put over the heads o.
gray, haired, veteran officers, men who
had seen many years Of hard service
for no other reason than because he
was the son of President No such
example had ever before disgraced the
military service, and it is due to Gen
Sherman to put the blame where il be
longs-on Gen Sheridan and Belknap
who was the Secretary of War, and
ready to destroy discipline and decen
cy in the army, if he might thereby
oblige the royal household
As to Captains Audenreid and Tour
tellotte, of Gen. Sherman's staff, il ap
pears that they have seen service and
made good record in the field. The
only objection to their present posi-
tion is that ii is in violation OF law. i
they are TO be retained, there should
be some legal authority for their re
tention.
There are, however many other in
stances of gross iavoritism, prejudica
to good discipline, insulting to old anC
able officers. There are many men il
first rate positions in the army, anC
who will be supported by the labor o
the toiing masses for life, who hav,
no other recommendation than tina
their ancestors were men OF mark
There is too much OF the family innu
ence, both in the army and navy. W,
have too many illustrious dead beat
who hve on the fame achieved by
their remote ancestry.
Besides this class, there are goot
many staff officers who were appoint
ed because of their poverty and gen
eral worthlessness. Being unable I,
make living in any business in civi
life, their influential friends got then
appointed on the list of genteel pau
pers, which list includes all who draw
pay that they do not earn, and wer
never expected TO earn.

Hoto Mineral Deposits are For7ned.-
The metallic solutions which have for
med our orc deposits have becn ascri-
Ded to two sources. One theory sup
poses that they have drained highly
metalltferous zones deep in the lnterI-
or OF the earth; the other, that they
have leached diffused metals from rocks
Of different kinds comparatively near
the surface. The latter view Is the
enc that Professor Newberry favors.
However probable such a thi 2 might
soam, no evidence of the existence Of
distinct metallic or metalliferous zones
In the Interior of the earth has been
gathered. On the contrary, says Pro-
lessor Newberry, volcaric emissions,
which may be supposed to draw from
= lower level than wator could reach,
are not specially rich in metallic mat
tors, and the thermal waters which
have by their deposit filled our mineral
veins must have derived their metallic
salts from zone not many thousand
feet from the surface.
The mineral springs which are now
doing similar work, are but part Of a
round Of circulation OF surface water,
which, falling from the clouds, pene-
trates the earth to a point where the
tempera,u is such as to drive iG back
In steam. This, with fluid water nder
pressure and highly heated, possessing
great solvent power, may be forced
through vast beds of rock, and these be
ettectually leached by the process.
Should such rocks contain the minu.
test Imaginary quantity of the metals
these must inevitably be taken into So
luton, and thus flow toward or to the
surface, to be deposited when. by dimi-
ntshed temperature and pressure, the
solvent power Of the menstruum is Ill.
lnin!shed. 1t is evident from these
facts that we cannot trace the history
of the metals back beyond the Lauren
tan age. And since we find them diff
fused III greater or less quantity through
the sedimentary rocks Of all ages, and
Also find processes in action which are
removing and redepo sting them in the
form of the ore deposits we mine, it is
not necessary to look further than this
for sufficient theory Of their torma-

that It Is difficult matter at times to

Having lately come across cherry.
stone firmly impaoted In that organ, I
failed to remove it with the ordinary

Having made an imitatioh sucker, such
ss boys use for lifting stones, by at
taching small pfece Of leather to q
strong thread cleaned the presenting
part Of the oherry-stOne, and then ap.
piled the sucker, previously moistened
with strong cement. By means Of q
email wire, pressed it firmly against
the stone, and allowed half an hour to
elapse before attempting to withdraw
1t. On doing so, found considerable
pull necessary Gas the stone had been
In for forty-eight hours); but the
cement had adhered so firmly that 1
had no difficulty in extracting the stone.
