The Montpelier Argus alludes to thu
Reformer. in its gross attack upon the
supreme court, thusly:
The attention of the Brattleboro Re-
former is called to what Judge Red
field said from his place on the bcncl
of the supreme court at St. Adams last
week. He remarked that in connec'
ton with the Central railroad litigation
members of the court chad been subject
cd to unjust aspersions, many of them
from parties who should have known
better, (which Just fits the virulent at
tack the Reformer made on Chief
Judge Royce. Instead of its being
"discreditable and humiliating to the
last degree" to have the Governor ap.
point Homer Il. Royce the Chief Judge
of our supreme court, it is "discredit-
able and humiliating to the last degree
to have a Vermont newspaper so lie
about the judges of its state as to lay it
self open to such rcbuke as this admin
istered by Judge Redfeld. Now will
the Reformer attack this? Guess not.

Appropos Of vaccination, an exchange
has the following timely advice; Don't
pick your nose with the finger that has
shortly before come in contact with
vaccine matter OR at any other time.
A man acted contrary to this rule, and
as result the matter took kindly to
his nose, made the acquaintance of the
membranes, spread all through his
head, and he is now just able to leave
his bed after confinement of more
than two weeks. A Glcns Falls lady
scratched tho bite of an insect on her
foot with the fingers that had been
toying with her vaccinated arm. The
following day her foot swelled and
shortly exceeded by an overwhelming
majority the size of the traditional
Albany girls feet. She was crippled
for month, and pinned away over the
heartrending prospect of wearing No.
II shoe for the remainder of her days,
but finally recovered. These be prac-
teal points on vaccine point, and will
bear the caution they point out.
