In speaking of the Presidents Ill
ness, much il said about the ''paroiid
gland" Some say il Is in the lumbar
regions, while Others kno'c il Is lower
down. Well, II is not in either place,
The paroid gland, SO called from tho
Greek words para, near, aud Gus tho
ear, is the largest of the three glands
occurring on either side. II lies upon
the side of the face Immediately in
front Of the external ear, and weighs
from half IN ounce to IN ounce, It's
duct IS about two inches and half in
length, and opens into the mouth by n
small oriicc opposite the second molar
tooth on the upper jaw. The walls Of
the duct are dense and somewhat thick,
and the calibrc is about that of crow
quill. The term "parotid tumors' is
given to tumors of various kinds oc.
curing in front of the ear and over the
parotid gland. With regard to surgi-
cal interference, an eminent "saw-
bones" says: "If there be reason to
suspect that the disease is Of II malig-
nant nature, and not thoroughly limited
by cellular cyst, no interference is
admissible; if, on the contrary, it be
ut all movable, has advanced slowly,
Possesses II smooth surface. and is firm,
then an operation may be contempla-
ted" Deficient secretion is common
in low forms Of fever.
Joseph Rowland of Woodstock has
purchased of II. +. Vaughn, admins
traitor the Ebcn Bridge estate, the
entire lot of breeding ewes and lambs
belonging to Mr.. Bridges celebrated
flock. These sheep are registered in
the 18th Vol. of the Vermont sheep
Register, as pure Atwood mcrinocs,
they having been bred from the At
wood flocks Of w. r. Sanford, Edwin
Hammond, Victor Wright and $. 5.
Rockwell. 1t is doubtful if there are
any sheep ofthe same weight of carcass
that will outshear the sheep Mr.. How
land has purchased. Rams have been
bred from them that have sheared
over thirty pounds, and ewes that have
sheared nearly twenty. 1t is hoped
that Mr.. Rowland will be as success
full in breeding and selling them as vas
their late lamcnted owner.
The President was given up by near
ly everybody Friday, and physicians
thought he could not live but few
hours at most. Late Saturday there
was change for the better, and he
has been more comfortable SINCE
There is some hope of his recovery.

Let those young men who prance
fiery steeds before the band-stand while
vigorous quickstep is in process, re-
member that the eye of God only is
upon them, and that he, undoubtedly, is
simply frowning upon their conceit and
vanity.
We are compelled to admit that
