A BOGUS posroFFIcE ORDER.

Washington telegram May 81.
The Carmichael postal card affair is
likely to lead to another prosecution af-
ter Carmichael has had his trial. Car
michael's friends say they are informed
by long experienced officials of the post
Office department that the destruction
and inspection Of postal cards by Post
Office clerk Boil was plain violation of
the statutes, and Carmichael's friends
say they intend to have the question ju-
dicially determined. In this connection
alIusion has been made to the suit
brought in Denver against ex-senator
Dorsey and Others alleged to be connect
ed with the star route contracts and the
telegraphic order purporting to emenate
from the postoftice department addressed
to the postmaster OF Denver. and in.
structing him to seize and forward to the
department oil letters addressed to Ger.
tain Of the parties involved in the con.
!rcversy. The postmaster at Denver, &C
u Is said. on receiving the order consult
ed the attorney general of Colorado in
regard TO it. That officer examined tht
United States statutes and the posta
regulations and concluded that the cor
respondence between Dorsey and hif
friends could not be brought under tn,
head OF obscene and indecent literature

Puck.
Your writing is hardly good enough
to gain you position in any first class
office. Your second question, Puck, is
somewhat obscure. In i6 you say that
you are 81 years of age and that your
shirt is Is. II such is the case your shirt
is old enough to take care of itself. A
ffteen-year old shirt demands respect
and a great deal Of 1t, and should be al.
lowed to vote in every precinct. You
also say that your weight is 149 pounds
your height 5 feet 6 10 inches, and that
your pants are 16x32, and wish to know
if you are built in proportion. Well, II
your pants are sixteen feet high by thir'
ty-two feet broad, or sixteen feet deel
by thirty-two feet wide, they would moi
fit you we'll. You would not look rs i
you had been built in proportion to the

Last Weeks Hail Storm.

The hail and rain storm OF last week Tuesday
touched so narrow belt OF country that few out
side its limits are aware Of the devastation II
caused. The meteorologic phenomenon seems
to have been caused by the confluence Of two
clouds Of very unequal temperature, the one
suffused with moisture almost to the point Of
precipitation and the other with moisture al
most at the congealing point. What Is chiefly
remarkable about the hail storm was the shape
OF the hail-not round or oval, ~ In ordinary
hail, but oblong, like fragments Of iccles. This
driven by powerful wind, cut down all grow
ing crops within the area OF the storm. The
contrast presented in the appearance Of the farms
n few days before the storm and few days after
is startling and wonderful. 1t was our fortune to
observe the country both before and after It,
The general track OF the storm was nortbwesterly
and southeasterly across the towns OF East Mont
pelier and Panfield from Chelsea and perhaps
beyond, to Calais, the eliminating point being in
East Montpelier in the vicinity Of the railway sta
ton II Is difficult to estimate the value of grow
ing crops, and the only thing we can do is to
name the farms touched, with the statement that
the loss varied from half to total Lucy Cook,
George Rowland, Levi T. Mallory, George Hunt
ingtou, Gilbert Short, Luther Town, Dennison
Densmore, Henry Martin, Michael Hammett,
Stephen Greeley Mr.. Cove, Clinton Cutler and
others. One Of the provdences OF the affair was
the saving OF the Montpelier & Wells River rail-
road train east. Striking the storm soon after
leaving East Montpelier station, 1t dared not 60
on but came to a halt about half a mile from the
station, and men were sent forward to inspect
the track. The halt at this point was about

BETHEL. -Apple-trees are loaded with apples
though it is the odd year Farmers are at fault
for letting their ground be numbered with trees
bearing worthless fruit when they might raise
the very best varieties and supply the home mar
ket instead of buying from Massachusetts and
New Hampshire. Early varieties of potatoes
are ripe and OF a good quality, but there is not a
large yield. The Advent camp-meeting will
commence August 9th and hold over two Sun
days. Ed +. Wilson has put very nice set Of
stone steps and buttresses at the front door OF his
house. They were made from the Bethel gran
lite, which we think is the most beautiful granite
in the state. =. The fair Is to come off Septem.
Der 20th 21st and I'D, and we shall expect to see
large attendance, for there are to be attractions
such as have never been seen at any fair in the
state. More about it in due time. E. The hot
weather last week drove a good many people
from the cities into the country towns, which
made the business in our village quite lively
especially for the hotels and stages, there being
ninety-seven arrivals at the Wilson house In si1
days, ending Saturday night the 9th.
