STEUBENvILLE, O., Oct. lin tht
beautiful valley Of Ten Mile, in tht
southern part OF Washington county
Pennsylvania, lives Mr., Joseph Miller
Sr., now in his 92d year, with whom
The Times correspondent has just hat
an interview. Mr.. Miller is an elder
in the Cumberland Presbyterian church
and a man of unimpeachable veracity
In answer to the question if he knew
Rev. Solomon Spaulding, the author
of the "Book of Mormon" he quickly
turned, and his face frightened as his
mind ran back TO the events Of the
past, and he said, with considerable
emphasis, 81 most certainly do"
"Did you ever read Il copy of the
work.
"Yes. Some years ago" he con
tinued, "Rev. j. w. Hamilton, a Pres
byterian minister, now living in Steu
benyille, o., presented me with copy
which l read very carefully"
as it your opinion that you even
read or heard read any portion Of it be

He then referred to passage on
page liS, which, he said, was so
strange that, at the time Mr.. Spaul.
ding read it to him from his manu-
script, it fixed itself upon his memory,
and that he had never forgotten it. lie
said that about 1912 Spaulding came
to Amity, a small village about five
miles from his present home, where he
kept a hotel; that Spaulding was in
delicate health, and that he (MilleT)
often spent his evenings at his home.
"While there, upon several occasions,
Mr.. Spaulding would bring out large
roll of papers, and read select portions
of their contents to amuse us OF even

a novel and intended TO have it pub

to send the minister fifty pounds OF
maple sugar for marrying him. Time
passed on and no maple sugar arrived
to sweeten the minister's household
Some months later he saw the newly
married husband in the town, and
ventured to remind him. "My friend
you did not send the maple sugar yor
promised" With saddened counten

A CHRISTMAS CHANT,

ut comes upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song If old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
Peace to the earth, good will to men,
From heavens all gracious King
The world in solemn silence lay
10 hear the angels sing"

Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1881-08-03

STATISTICS laid before the congress of brew
ers which recently met at Versailles show that
there are in Europe about 10000 breweries
which produce annually nearly 2,250, 1000, 900
gallons of malt liquor. Great Britain alone
produces third of the entire quantity, or to be
exact 1856, O17,O O2 gallons. Prussia comes next
with 31S, 579.99s gallons; Bavaria, $50, 757, O02
gallons; Austria, 245,975,15S gallons; and
France, 155, 9S0,000 gallons. 1t will thus be
seen that the Teutonic nations are eminently
the beer producers, as they are also the princi-
pal beer drinkers; where wine is to be had
nesrly as cheaply as beer, the malt liquor is not
preferred. The proportion in which beer is
consumed varies very much. Bavaria heads
the list with fifty-four gallons per head
per annum, or rather over one gallon a
week. Belgium is next with thirty gallons,
and England is about the same-namely;
twenty-nine gallons, or, roundly speaking,
something over half gallon per head per
week. In Germany, excluding Bavaria, the
average consumption is nineteen gallons. and
from this great I'~op follows, to nine gallons
in Scotland and eigh, and a half in Ireland
where whisky is preferred. Austria consumes
only six gallons of beer per head and France
only four

Sunlight a Necessity,

Sun-baths cost nothing, and are the
most refreshing ife-giving baths that
one can take, whether sick Or well.
Every housekeeper knows the necessity
of giving her woolens the benefit of the
sun, from time to time, and especially
after a long rainy season, or long
absence of the sun. Many will think Of
the injury their clothes are liable to,
from dampness, who will never reflect
that an occasional exposure of their own
bodies to the sunlight is equally neces-
sary to their health. The sun-baths
cost nothing, and that is misfortune,
for people are still deluded with the
idea that those things only can be good
or useful which cost money. Let it not
be forgotten that three of Gods most
beneficial gifts to man-threc things the
most necessary to health-sunlight,
fresh air and water, are free to all; you
can have them in abundance, without
money and without price, if you will.
If you would enjoy good health, then,
see to it that you are supplied with pure
air to breathe all the time; that you
battle for an hour or SO in the sunlight,
and that you quench your thirst with no
other fluid than water.

Condition OF the President.

There has been steady gain in the Presi-
dents condition since the performance of the
surgical operation which liberated the accumu-
lation of corruption. Although the physicians
are taciturn on the subject of the Presidents
chance of recovery, yet one of them expressed
opinion on the 25th, that their patient was as
well as he lad been at any time since he was
wounded.
The development of high fever on the 26th
inst. led to critical examination of the wound
by DR.. Agnew, which resulted in the removal of
the cause of irritation, being several spIinters
from the fractured rib, one of them about an
inch in length. The operation was more pain
full than the first, but the President bore it
bravely, and was greatly relieved by it. DR..
Agnew considered the Presidents condition
quite favorable.
Mrs. Garfeld's debility continues, and excites
uneasiness. The more pressing anxiety in re-
gard to her husbands condition overshadows
her case, but it is evident that the Presidents
recovery and a change of air must precede any
radical Improvement In her condition.
On the goth ult. the President was removed
into another chamber, and the room in which
he has remained since the day that he was shot
was thoroughly cleaned and refitted. This was
done on the theory that the carpets and up
holstering of the sick room have absorbed
poisonous particles and we're therefore hurtful to
the patient. After being returned to his room,
late in the afternoon, there was an increase in
the patients fever. Examination by the sur
geons showed that the threatening symptom
was caused by slight interruption in the flow
of pus from the wound. The drainage-tube
was thoroughly cleaned and the discharge i'm
mediately began to be free again. The fever
at once disappeared.
On the 31st ult. the President partook of q
hearty breakfast of milk and eggs with lamb
chop and potatoes. The quantity of nourish-
ment be now takes is sufficient to favor grad
ual increase of strength, which is plainly OBJ
servable. The track of the original wound
above the incision continues to heal satisfactor-
lily and is nearly closed. The President
is in excellent spirits, and expresses
himself as daily growing stronger. The Bell
induction balance was applied to the patients
body on the LIST inst. in order to establish, if
possible, the location of the ball. It indicated
that the missile is lodged in the interior wall of
the abdomen at the point where the discolora-
ton took place shortly after the tragedy.
