THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.
AS REVISED BY A "sAN1rAR1AN.na

AZ REVISED BY A "sANITARIAN.""
With what anguish Of mind remember my child
Recalled in the light OF the knowledge thus gained
The malarious farm, the wet, fungusgrown wild.
The chls then contracted that since have re-
mained;
The scum covered duck pond, the pig stye close by
The ditch where the sour-smellIng house drainage
fell
The damp, shaded dwelling, the foul barn.yard nigh
IT.
But worse than oil else was that terrible old well
And the old oaken bucket, the mOld-crusted bucket
The moss covered bucket that hung In the we'll.
Just think of III Moss on the vessel that lfted
In the water Of wells by analysis find
The rottlng wood fibre, the oxide OF iron,
The alga, the frog of unusual size,
The water impure as the verses Of Byron,P
Are things remember with tears In my eyes.
Aid to tell the sad truth-thOugh shudder to think
IT.
Iconsldered that water uncommonly clear,
And often at noon, when went there to drink 1t;
enjoyed 1t as much as now enjoy beer.
How ardent seized 1t with hands that were grmy
Anu quick 70 tne muu covered DOttOm IL Iell !
Then soon with It's ntrItes and ntrates, and slimy
with matter organic, 1t rose from the we'll,
Oil had but realized, In time to avoid them
The dangers that lurked In that pestlent draught,
I'd have tested for organic germs and destroyed
them
With potasslc permanganate ere had quaffed,
Or perchance I'd have boiled 1t and aiterward
strained 1t
Through filters OF charcoal and gravel combined,
Or, after dstillIng, condensed and regalnedlt
In potable form, with Its filth left behind 1t.
How little knew of the dread typhoid fever
Which lurked In the water ventured to drink;
But since I've become devoted believer
In the teachings OF science, shudder to think.
And now, far removed nom the scenes I'm describ-
Ing,
The story for washing to others I tell,
AS memory reverts to my youthful imblblng
And gag at the thought Of that horrible WE'LL
And the old Oaken bucket the fungus grown bucket,
In fact the slop bucket-that hung in the well.

THE Billings MURDER CASE

Which attracted such widespread attention In
the summer Of 1873 again comes before the public.
1t will be remembered that the wife Of Jesse Bill
ings, man Of wealth and influence at BallstOd,
N. Y, was shot dead while sitting one evening
near an unourtained window Of her house. Bill
ings was at a neighbor's house when messenger
found him with the news. Immediately on enter.
ing the room where the body lay, the daughter Of
Billings rose from the side OF her dead mother
and denounced her father as the murderer. He
was arrested, tried and the jury disagreed, stand
ing eleven for acquttsl to one for conviction. The
defense rested mainly on the testimony ofR worth
less fellow, who swore that he saw Billings at an
other place at the time Of the shooting. That
witness was afterwsrd convicted Of perjury In his
testimony, but new trial was granted Billings
and his witness are both now awaiting their Sec
ond trials. Now comes a new witness on the side
Of the prosecution, whose testimony fastens the
crime upon Billings, and who says he was hired
by the latter to keep out Of the way until the affair
had blown over. This witness for the prosecution
has about as bad reputation as the convicted
witness for the defense, but his testimony exactly
fills the previous gap In the States chain Of evi.
dence. The excitement in Saratoga county has
been renewed and feeling again runs high be-
tween the friends and foes Of Billings
