The above officers will be installed at their
next meeting, the coming Monday evening.
The horse that the young man by the name
of Mckinney hired of Tasker, the livery
stable man, to 60 to Manchester, and which was
supposed to have been stolen, has been found.
The horse being hitched, in some way united
himself and took journey toward home on
his own hook. After going about two miles
he turned off on cross road and soon went
into a mans yard and staid there till morn
ing. The owner finding strange horse in
his yard carried him over to the hotel at Bel
grade Depot, and was just putting him up
when Tasker arrived and claimed him.
Through all the long tramp no injury was
done either to the top carriage, the horse, or
harness.

The death rate among children In our large
Cities Is frightfully high this summer, as the
mortality reports from week to week show.
Already, this week, one hundred and twenty
children under five years OF age have died In

cities the mortality Is even greater In propor-
ZION 10 population. Here Is subject for the
medical profession to study. What causes this
remarkable mortality among children? Many of
our most prominent physicians have persistently
0eciared That the mode OF dressing and manner

naturally produce unhealthy children: that the
vitality OF each generation would decrease

lions. then 1t Is time to begin a reform. But II
1s quite likely that the thousands OF deaths az
little ones may be traced TO some other cause.
Inc best medical minds say that children are
not BORN TO die In their infancy or youth. They

The tenor OF all the news from the ice-pro-
ducing regions of Maine Is to the effect that the
supply OF ice now there Is either In or rapidly
passing into the hands OF SPECTATORS We
shall therefore very soon be hearing OF an ice
famine, with a sharp advance IL prices, In all
the large cities OF the country. In fact the cry
has already ceen started in New York, and per-
haps IN one or two other places, and the cost to
consumers has gone up accordingly. The sharks
who prey upon the necessities of the poor In hot
weather, when, In cases OF sickness, ETC., they
must have at least moderate supply Of ice,
cost What ID may, Will probably be successful In
carrying their point; but there Is really no sub
stantial reason for the advance. The amount
OF ice harvested In Maine last winter was much
larger than ever before. on the Kennebac river
alone 100000 tons were secured. which Is more
by 100000 tons than was ever put up On that
stream in any single previous year, and the
Increase on the other more important rivers OF
the state has been nearly In the same proper
tion.
These facts serve to show that an advance In
the price OF ice is not founded on a short sup
ply; but. in spite OF this showing, spectators
VIII seek 10 make the most out of the situation
by getting hold OF the stock aud holding Il to
force rise In price, just as they do with other
necessarieS OF life. OF course, any advance that
may be made In other cities Will not be likely to
affect consumers here. The Washington Ice
dealers are prudent, far-seeIng business men,
and they make their contracts for their whole
summers supply in the winter or early in the
spring, before the supply In the middle states is
known TO be short, and consequently before
there has been any advance OH winter rates.
Knowing in the beginning that marketable Ice
no longer forms here and that Maine must be
depended upon entirely for their stock, our deal
er5 are thus enabled TO secure their supply while
prices are low, and consequently have no need
to increase rates TO their customers as the sea-
son advances. In this respect they have great
advantage over the dealers In other places, who
depend either wholly or partially on home
supply, and who, when that fails, are compelled
to go into the Maine market late In the season
after the rush has begun, and buy when prices
are high. OF course their customers must suffer
accordingly, when hot weather comes on; but
In their case the result seems to be In conse-
quence Of circumstances which 1t Is not possible
to control. The people of Washington have
reason 10 congratulate themselves that they
are more favorably situated in this respect.
