The accounts of the terrific storms at
the West, which we publish in our
news columns to-day, will tend to
make Vcrmonters grateful for the
friendly shelter of the hills, which not
only diversity our scenery, but ward
off the destructive wind storms to
which more level regions are liable.
The recent storms at the West were
more than usually destructive to life.

Liberia is the model place for cleo
tions, and sets an example for some
older countries. At the last prcsidcn-
tial election there in May, the contest
was independent of party lines, and
the successful candidates are pledged
to the education of the masses, the in
corporation of the native tribes into
the body polite, the expulsion of rum
and alcohol, the honest settlement of
foreign indebtedness, and a frugal adj
ministTatiOn.

Speaker Randall, of the national

making an effort to give the Democrats
control of that body at the next ses-

Pennsylvania. If there is any such
scheme on foot, the Republican side of
the House will see that it is duly

WANTED-A LASTING REFORM.
About three Years ago a manufacture
ing town i'll Western Massachusetts
was rocked for some time by the Muir
ply apostles of temperance. Union
meetings of the sects were held for
months, the ministers worked like
good fellows, which they were,-real
genuine whOle-sOuled men who got
right down close to the besOtted and
dragged them up. About IA hundred
men wore the red ribbon of reform,
but to-day we are Informed that all but
about half-dOzen of these have re-
lapsed into the old habit There is
something yet to he learned in the

i'll many of the states. A United

Combines GREAT RECORD.
Under his leadership the party in
New York suffered in ten years four
general and one partial defeat, a mi
nority of the Republican candidates
being saved by the support of the
Liberals; and once the party escaped
defeat only through a revolt in the
Democratic ranks. Mr.. Conkling de-
voted his personal efforts to the party
throughout the campaign only three
times twice when his own reelection
was pending, and he had a personal
stake in the contest, and the third time
last year /; and then, Immediately after
the new Republican administration had
come into power, Mr.. Conkling be-
came its mortal enemy on account of a
nomination for the New York Custom
House which displeased him. He re-
signed and turned the majority of the
Senate, which had scarcely been re-
gained by the Republicans, over to the
Democrats n. Y. Evening Post.

Big Freshet in Ohio.
A destructive freshet occurred on
the Ohio river last week, extending
from Pittsburg to Wheeling, dis
tance of 30 miles. At Stcubcnvillc the
first stories of many business houses
were flooded, and the Cleveland u
Pittsburg railroad was submerged for
two miles. Much suffering was caused
in one ward of the city by the flood,
five hundred people being obliged to
leave their homes. The loss to prop
erty and the destruction of crops in
the valley will reach $20O,OOO. One
farmer had 300 head of sheep drowned,
and his entire crop of wheat and corn
submerged. Hundreds of acres of val
liable land, mostly wheat, were from
two to five feet under water. The village
of Warren, ID miles below Stcuben-
vile, II place of 800 inhabitants, was
completely submerged, and the people
driven from their homes.

GAMMA AND CAIRO"
Jonesboro Gazette


The proximity of Anna to Cairo, and the
fine country around Anna, is beginning to
make show in the business OF Anna.
Cairo gets out of -four, and at once wheat
buyer appears upon the streets of Anna and
and buys all the wheat he can get at the
highest market price, Cairo needs butter,
milk, cream, eggs, poultry, beet, mutton
and vegetables, and buyers are at Anna
constantly, paying cash for all they can get.
Cairo has taken boom, and many new in
dustries are gong up, which will employ
hundreds of men. This of course, makes
a demand for everything in the fruit and
produce, and our farmers and fruit.growers
are the ones to reap the benefit of this in
creased demand.
We notice that improvements are being
made in Cairo; that Hon. Jesse Ware, OF
Jonesboro, has bought several lots and will
build cottage houses thereon. Vacant
houses IN CAIRO are rarity, and 1t is the
same in the adjoining towns. If Cairo i'm.
proves SO will Anna. If Cairo is TO be
great business centre, Anna will be a still
more lively place, and most undoubtedly
residence town Tor Cairo business men; for
Cairo is not a pleasant place to live in dur
ing the hot weather. Vacant houses in
Anna there are none, although the demand is
great. The enterprlsing man with capital
will build row Of cottages IN Anna at
once. If you expect people to move here,
you must have houses for them to live in.
Capitalists are not likely to move here in
great numbers, so it is important that home
capital build the cottages for rent. A little
attention in this direction will increase the
population of Anna very rapidly"

THE BALLARD COUNTY ELECTION.


Mondays election In Ballard county vir-
tually settles the important question
whether the county seat shall remain at
Wicklfe, or be again removed to Bland
vile. The 3landville party, after having
been beaten once at the poles when the
removal of the county seat was made
the direct issue, and again in the
courts, where the legality OF the election
was pronounced to be unassailable, deter
mined to try it again by carrying the issue
into the Legislative contest and there for
the third time they have been disgracefully
routed Their spunk is to be admired and
their prejudice is pardonable; but their
judgment is not of the best. They must
know thatWickliffes advantages over Bland
vile as the county seat of Ballard
are many and important; this one
must infer from the large vote
cast IN favor of the Wickliffe candidate,
and they ought, therefore, if they have at
heart the best interests of the county at
large, acquese readily in the change. Wick.
life is in good situation for traffic; is
growing rapidly in Importance and will
eventually be one of the large river towns
of Kentucky.

Causes Of Sudden Deaths.

DIR. A. NJ Cheek says, very few Of the
sudden deaths which are said to arise from
diseases Of the heart, do really arise from
that cause. To ascertain the real origin
Of sudden deaths, an experiment was tried
BY myself aud several other physicians
Amer = Jsast Hsortsm and thorough exami-
ination Of sixiy-foar cases, out Of the above
number Of cases two were found who died
from diseases Of ihe heart, eight Of apoplexy
while there were forty-fye eases of conges-
ton Of the lunss; that is, the lungs were
SO full of blood that they could not work,
90, having room enough for a sufficient
amount Of air to support life.
The causes that produce congestion Of
the lungs are cold feet, tight clothing, cos
tive bowels, sitting still until chilled after
being warmed with labor or rapid walk /,
going too suddenly from close room into
the opea air. especially after speaking too
has,y walking, or running to catch train
etc. These causes Of sudden death being
known, an avoidance Of thepe may serve to
lengthen many valuable lives, which would
otherwise be lost under the verdict Of heart
complaint.
That disease is supposed to be ineyita-
bic and incarable, hence many may not
take the pains they would TO avoid sudden
death il they knew it lay in their power.
