eFy-The Curious Frozen WeII-A TalC of otter Creek.
 BRANDON, VT, April Is. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 left New Haven Tuesday and came up to this region, where I expected to find some snow, but there is no more snow to be seen than there is in July; not vestige of snow on the mountains, and the Connecticut river is quite low. I cannot see how the lumber men are going to float their logs to market, as they depend on the melting of the snow on the mountains to swell the streams so they can float them down.
 The weather is quite warm. The ther- rnometer marked 70 in the shade yesterday. This is beautiful summer resort. Up near the top of the mountain is lake, covering several hundred acres, called Silver lake. You stand on its banks and you can see the sur rounding country for great many miles You look down beneath you several hundred feet and you see another large lake called Dunmore lake. short distance from that you see another one covering 150 acres. This one is called Hitchcock pond. It has no vis- ibIe inlet or outlet, and Is the one that. sup plies this place with water. The water IS very clear, and is as nice water as l ever drank. It is TO feet above this place, so they have a good fall of water.
 I visited yesterday a curiosity. It is called
 
 twenty feet they cameto frozen ground. They dug through the frost twenty-one feet more and came to water, but the well is frozen the year round. I could get no water from it, as it was frozen solid. You can look down about thirty feet with a looking glass, and 1t Is nothing but ice from there to the bottom: They dug down in westerly direction and found the same thing, but north or south of 1t you find water at twenty feet and no frost. It is worse puzzle than the fifteen puzzle to find out what causes it.
 Otter creek is a river running through Rutland and this place. The water is very clear, so you can see things as plainly on the bottom as though there was no. water there and speaking about Otter Greek reminds me of an occurrence that bappened on it's banks last summer. Three young men started from Rutland in buggy to go up the stream about three miles to have 8 bath in deep hole there was at that place. They undressed and placed their clothes in the

 NEW HAVEN, April 19 To the Editor oftha JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Two articles have appeared in your columns claiming for MT. Baker, of Red Wing, the honor of the discovery of purifying middings by frictional electricity. Mir. Baker charges that did not originate the idea but stole it from him. Without going into particu Jars allow me to state that this charge is wholly false. Before ever saw Mir, Baker I had conceived this idea, experimented, and communicated it to others all of which I am in position to sustain and prove beyond 8 shadow of doubt, when the proper time arrives When the description of the Electric Purifier was first published here was 3, 900 miles away and hence cannot hold myself responsible for inaccuracies con cerning the time and manner of my discovery Yours truly, KINasLANp SMITH.

The plan of night medical service laid be- fore the New York Academy of Medicine by Dr. Henri Nachtel, which was favorably re- ported upon by committee and referred to the Board of Health, has been put in the form of a bill and will be short ly introduced In the State Senate The main features of the plan are the keep ing of registers at the police stations of the names of such physicians as voluntarily pledge themselves to respond to any night call made by policeman detailed from the station to make such csll in behalf of the per son applying to the precinct officer in charge. The physicians fees are to be $3 for each visit, which may be collected from the Board of Health in case the patient does not pay, and that department shall endeavor to collect from the patient. The plan proposes the ap- propriation Of sum not to exceed $3, coo year, and that the expenses for such service shall be regular item in the budget of the Board of Health. Provision for the calling
 of consulting physicians is made. Any phy- siciau who shall twice fail to respond to calls made under these conditions, without valid excuse, shall have his name stricken from the

Dr. Freeman Clarke charged some friends of the temperance movement in Massachu- setts with undue haste in criticising the St. Botolph club of Boston, and Wendell Phil lips makes most effective reply to the charge. The following is the closing paragraph {: 'tFashion in Boston imperiously orders the use and offer of wine. The city government is created and ruled by rum. Trade, wealth, the press and society defer to it. Blind habit fancies itself sci ence, and parades as such in supporting 1t. The pulpit, dabbling In all politics except what touches reform, and reading Shakespeare to idlers while some of the finest genius of the city is dropping into drunkards graves, contents itself with insulting temperance men and panders. like cripging laokey, to the drinking fashions of the psws, both by preoept and example; now and then trying to hide its degradation and throw dust in the worlds eyes by some empty rhetoric about the awful evil of intemperanee." We fear there is altogether too much truth In this hard hit, and that Boston is not ths only city where it applies.

A curious case has been unravelled by the Treasury officials. A man got the number of some United States bonds held by friend and applied to the Treasury for duplicate bonds, showing, apparently, properly indorsed letters of administration fer the original owner, who,
 he stated, before his death gave the bonds to his brother, who with them was lost at sea on a vessel which investigation showed had gone down with all on board. The duplicates were accordingly reissued and at once redeemed.
 Now the owner turns up with the original bonds and asks their redemption, ana IL IS found that the letters of administration were

What Children Should Read.

The greatest trouble which ensues from
placing sensational literature in the hands
of children is the false idea of life which il
produces. Many children every year, after
reading those thrilling adventures and glow
ing descriptions of the "Golden West, have
become dissatisfied with the seemingly UNI
eyentfnl school life, and have left their
homes to seek the iortanes and follow
their hero. Most Of these deluded fortune
hunters find their mistakes and like the
prodigal return, but with the taste for good
reading impaired Such literature should
not be placed within the reach Of children.
There are plenty of good, useful books Of
moral tone that are suitable, pleasing and at
same time kpstructive History ~ now got
ten up in such Il pleasant style that it is a
source eff amusement as we'll us instructive
TO read it, If novels must he read--and
none can deny that good novel OCCASION
ally does no harm; historical are preferable
to those whose chief merit seems 10 be the
excitement they produce and the false ideas
OF life they may create. Every piece u
child reads should contain grain of truth,
either moral, philosophical, political or his
torical, that it may spring up and bear some
fruit of usefulness. 1t is quite important, too,
that the youth should be conyersant with
the topics of the day, which may be found
in the leading papers. No one can be con-
sdered well read who knows nothing of the
literature OF the times.

DR.. Unger's Cure for Drunkenness

The claims Of DR.. Ungcr for curing in.
temperance would seem TO be justified, If We
may rely upon as good authority as the
Chicago 1ribune for the evidence. Mr.. Jos
Medill, the editor, is said 10 be strong en-.
dorser Of the new remedy, and from the
editorial Communications Of the new remedy
in the columns Of the 7rfJune we conclude
the remedy has produced some benefit 10 the
community already. II IL claimed that the
doctor has cured 5000 persons Of the worst
form Of intemperance with il, and that this
is the first remedy ever discovered that kills
the disease and the inclination b drink at
one and the same time.
Remeoty.-Take one pound Of best fresh,
quill red Peruvian bark, powder il, and soak
II in one pint Of diluted alcohol. Aiterward
strain and cyaporate II down TO half pint.
Directions for il use Dose--a tcaspoonful
every three hours the first and second day,
aud occasionally moisten the tongue be-
tween the doses Itacts like quinine and the
patient can tell by headache If he Is getting
TOO much. The third day take as previous,
but reduce the dose 10 one-half teaspoonful.
Afterwards reduce the dose b fifteen drops
and then down 10 ten, and then down 20
five drops To make a cure, II takes from
five 10 fifteen days. Seven days are about
the average In which cure can be effected.

The Moment Of Fear.


Bonaparte lost four aides-de-camp during
the short time he was in Egypt One of
them, Qrosier, appearing to Napoleon to
lack the proper degree of boldness at the
proper time, he burst out against him
in one Of his violent and humiliating at
lacks of abuse and contempt. The word
coward escaped him; Crosier determined
not to survive it; he sought death on sew
eral occasions, but did not succeed till the
siege Of Acre. He was in attendance on
Napoleon in the trenches there, when such
a sharp lookout was kept by the garrison
that If an elbow or feather showed itself
above or beside them it was Immediately
grazed by bullet, Croser watched his
opportunity and jumped upon the platform.
"Come down, command your cried Ma
poleon, in a voice of thunder; but il was
too late; the victim of his severity fell at
his feet.
"a Murat, the chivalrous drawer of all dan
ger, had also his moment of fear which lost
him the countenance of his general until dis
pleasure could no longer resist the briliancy
OF his achievements, 1t was at the siege of
Mantua, in the first Italian campaign, that
Murat was ordered to take charge of the
troops that were making a sortie from the
garrison. He hesitated, and in his confu-
sion declared himself wounded he was re-
moved from the general, and in every way
discountenanced. In Egypt he was sent out
on the most distant and dangerous services
in short, he more than conquered his char
acter before the battle Of Aboukir, on which
occasion Napoleon himself was obliged to
declare that he was superb The brave Mar
shall Lannes ono day severely reprimandcd

for moment of fear. "rhat man" said he,

UNTO HEsPERIAN ISLES.

BY ii, w, LONGFELL0W.
Dark in the morning with mist in the mar
row mouth of the harbor
Motionless lies the sea under its curtain of
cloud
Dreamily glimmer the sails of ships on the
distant horizon,
Like the towers of a town, built on the verge
Of the sea.
Slowly and stately and still, they sail forth
into the ocean;
With them sail my thoughts over the limit
less deep,
Farther and farther away, borne on by I'M
satisfied longings,
Unto Hesperian isles, unto Ausonian shores.
Now they have vanished away, have disap-
peared in the ocean;
Sunk are the towers of the town into the
depths of the sea
All have vanished but those that, moored in
the neighboring roadstead,
Sailless at anchor ride, looming so large in
the mist.
Vanished, too, are the thoughts, the dim, un-
satisfied longings;
Sunk are the turrets of cloud into the ocean
of dreams;
While in haven of rest my heart is riding
at anchor,
Held by the chains of love, held by the
anchors of trust
