rY The Herald and Globe of Tues
day last, in clipping its Geographic dis
patches from the Troy Times ofthe pre-
vious afternoon, failed TO correct a
small error in the l%atter's dispatches
concerning the president, which stated
that the precise location of the ball is in
either the Q%uadidtire or prods muscle.
Perhaps the well advertised antipathy
of the Herald editor toward Latin and
Greek may account for his proof-read-
er's allowing these remarkable words 10
go in, instead of the Latin quodrdtus
and the Greek pSoaS, which arc the cor
rect names of the muscles in question.

INCONSISTENCIES IN VERMONT. - The
Brattleboro Reformer says that the ex-
tent to which Illicit distillation is car
ried on in that part of the state is sim
ply astounding. Almost every town in
Windham county it says has one or
more of these secret stills. Though
their existence is notorious within mar
row circles, it is very difficult for Off
GERS to get hold of convicting evidence.
II expects, however, a series of expos
ures in the next few years which in the
aggregate will make a frightfpl revela-
ton of widespread dishonesty. The
Reformer continues: Except in this
revenue district and Orange county,
there is not a bonded distillery in the
state. But that cider brandy is both
distilled and sold in immense quanti-
tics in the rest of the state, every well
informed man knows. The fact there
fore is that the government is being
cheated out of the major part of its rev
enues, by a general If not an organized
Of moonshining." !
