a mystery Their names will not be made public
at present We understand the elections were
very harmonious. There is some talk Of having
a class-day occur before commencement. The
lyceum Friday evening, though perhaps not the
most beneficial, was by far the merriest, ever at
tended by your correspondent. 1t being All
Fools Day." and for other reasons to be found in
the next item the ladies denied us their presence,
and for the same aforementioned reason all the
speakers, both regular debaters and volunteers,
spoke upon everything except the question at is
sue viz: Capital Punishment" Many good points
were made bearing upon tariff, foreign emigra-
ton, Shakespeare, dphtheria, Noah's ark, mules,
measles, dogs, etc. Music was furnished by Mr.
jackson and the glee club. While the gentle
men enjoyed lyceum, the ladies enjoyed new
sugar in the dining-hall of the clearinghouse
No cards, that is, to gentlemen. The four 80
cieties met in joint session last Thursday evening
and elected the following named persons as an
editorial corps for the Montpelieridn for the pres
ent term. Editors, Oscar F. George and Iverl
Bachelor; addresses, Miss Nellie Noble AND
Miss Jennie Barton; business managers Messrs

ARRESTED FOR MURDER.-About month ago
J. oln Ingalls, of Sheffield disappeared, leaving a
wife and two boys, with nineteen-year-od girl
named Carrie Berry. They were afterwards seen
in Manchester, New Hampshire, while seeking
for work there. On Wednesday Of last week he
was arrested at Lsconia, New Hampshire, on
charge Of being accessory to the procuring of an
abortion whereby she died. Her body was sent
to her mother with the statement that she had
died OF diphtheria, and cash was found in her
throat as though relief might have been sought
that way. Apost-mortem examination disclosed
the true state of the case 1t is known that
ingalls, accompanied the body as far as Woods
vile when he turned back and was arrested, as
before stated. He is now lodged in st. Johnsbury

CABoT.-At the annual school meeting Luke C..
Fisher was chosen committee Of the village dis
trict. The village voted to have one school the
coming summer Of eight weeks, two schools the
fall term Of eleven weeks, winter term, two
schools, twelve weeks each The committee had
early calls on Wednesday morning -. There
is much sickness in town at present Quite a
number Of cases of pneumonia from which Mr..
Caleb Fisher is just recovering. IA. W. Mears
didn't take in his sign last week. for the reason
he never had one to take in, but he sold his goods
to his brother in Peacham quite suddenly and I'M
expectedly to the community, and his brother re-
moved them to Peacham at once. This move
leaves us with but one store in the village. 1t
seems as though this was good point for a
stirring man with moderate capital to enter upon
the general mercantile business.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT lillian Blythe, an en-
ploye at the rolling-mils at St. Adams, met with
a terrible and fatal accident last Thursday morn
ing while engaged in his usual occupation Of OPP
Grating the machinery for saving off and moving
new-rolled rails to the hot-bed. The unfortunate
man at the time the fatality occurred was using
unusual strength in pushing the lever forward to
start the saws. when the pin in the lever flew out
and relaxed his hold, precipitating him into the
double cogwheels, directly in front OF the lever.
Blythes arms were drawn between the gear and
horribly mutlated their entire length, and falling
on his side, the cogs cut terrible hole into his
body, letting ont portions Of his antrails An en-
ploye Immediately threw piece Of cold iron into
the cogs, and instantly stopped the fatal work,
but not soon enough to save Blythe's life. He
was unconscious until few minutes before his
death, when he revived and recognized his
brother. He died half an hour after the accident.
He leaves a wife and young son. Blythe was
thirty years old, and has been longtime resi-
dent there The accident was one which ordinary
forethought could not have prevented.

Pneumonia.

Mr.. Editor That fearful and often fatal NAL
ady sometimes prevalent In the transition season
from winter to spring, carrying off many valuable
aud respected citizens In many localities, seems
TO be doing its fearful work this year. Notwith-
standing the medical skill OF our most expert
enced physicians, 1t would seem that possibly
there IL yet something to be learned In the treat
ment OF this fell disease In regard to this dis
ease, man seems to suffer dreadful penalty for
whatever Of imprudence or ignorance he may be
responsible for. Though 1t be true that he does
not generally regard imprudence and ignorance
mortal sins, yet, In matters OF such Importance as
life and health, who shall dare TO exculpate him
self for the too prevalent indifference to the OBJ
vious conditions OF health and the means to Sc
cure and maintain 1t. Not that any individual
foresight or prudence can ward of all and every
" Ill that flesh Is heir TO-" but that many of them
are directly chargeable to himself admits OF little
doubt. May we not be permitted TO raise the
inquiry, Has that useful and responsible professor
Of medicine exhausted all the sources OF knowl'
edge relating TO pneumonia2 II In no new disease
nor one OF such infrequency that time and OPP
portunity have not been afforded for studying
and observing Its nature and peculiar character
istics. The accompanying remarks were hastily
penned last week, with view to calling the at
teution Of all people who duly consider the i'm
portance OF careful attention to their health, also
rs an appeal to the medical profession TO make
this disease special subject OF investigation and
reinyestigaton Is 1t true that this is unayodably
so fatal "a disease? Or may not there be some
error In the theory of the general practiceY Let
not pride OF professional knowledge conceive the
idea that the faculty is perfect master OF all the
knowledge and science OF pneumonis. II all the
secretory organs are In due exercise OF theiI
functions, is pneumonia possible? and II those or
gans are not performing their functions, should
not that be the first care Of the physician2
To KEKr the blood pure is the principal end Of
inventions and discoveries In medicine. To thi,
object probably no one has contributed more sig
nally than DIR. David Kennedy OF Rondout, New
York In the production OF a medicine which has
become famous under the title of the " fayorits
