I1nAnf

A Lewiston Boys Disappoint-
ment.
A Lewiston boy, one day last week learned
in some way that furs, and especially cats
fur, had risen in price and were in great
demand. That night neighbours cat fell
victim to the youngsters greed. The.boy
talked learnedly Of furs at the table the next
day. His eyes were fixed on the family cat,
but she was unfortunately white, and white
muffs are not in fashion, and the youngster
knew it. The cats skin was removed and
stretched upon board, and black cats
skin summed on the back of the shed through
out the day. The next day, after the mills
shut down, there was not more industri-
GUS boy than he. Every furrier in the city
looked down that evening into an anxious
boys face, and was obliged to decline an in
voice of cats furs cheap for cash. It was
tired boy who climbed into his little bed
that night and vowed vengeance on the man
who was responsible for the exertion. He told
his story at the mill next day. Some one
told him that a cat skin was not SO
much first class fashionable fur as it used
to be but that 1t was great thing for spav-
Inns on horses The next day the boy was
industrious again. Every stable keeper in
the two cities was interviewed by bright
eyed boy on the subject of spawned horses
Some OF them paid no attention. Some of
them looked over his goods while the boy
waited expectantly. "It nearly broke my
heart says one livery man, 80 see the tears
gather in the boys eyes when / laughed at
him. wouldn't a laughed if I'd known
he was in earnest" The boy didn't sell
his fur. He went home with it and tackled
it on the board again and stored it away in
the shed chamber Some one told him that
cat was liable is be fashionable any day and
now the boy awaits the coming millennium
for cats.

From Judge Danforth's statement in re-
gard to the Eaton case, published elsewhere,
II appears that Eaton was let off with a fine,
because the Judge was convinced that the
shooting of Kelly was pure accident and that
drunkenness was the only crime of which
he was guilty. Itfurther appears that there
10 another indictment against Eaton for at
tempting to kill his brother, and this latter
indictment the Judge considers a much
more serious one than the one which was
settled. What disposition has been made of
it Judge Danforth does not clearly state,
but from what he does say about it, and
from the fact that it was not pressed at the
last term of court, it is reasonable to infer
that it is not likely to be called up as .long as
Mr.. Eaton keeps the temperance pledge. Ii
appears therefore that Eaton not only escaped
from the charge of manslaughter with fine
which it did not inconvenience him to pay,
but also from an Indictment for an attempt
to kill without any punishment whatever,
except, possibly, the signing of the iron
clad temperance pledge. On the whole Mr..
Eaton is the luckiest criminal which the
State has yet produced.

Thirteen Fools Digging.

Men and women who claim TO be spiritu-
alists have been digging for gold on the
farm of Wood Demarest, near Chemung,
N. T., on the Mt. Zoar road The spot
where the digging was done is out of view of
the farm house and the road. For three
successive nights the manager of the farm
Ct Catherine Sly, which adjoins that OF Mr..
Demarest, was awakened just before mid
night by men and women passing the house.
On the fourth night he followed them.
When they arrived at the spot where they
had been digging, the party, consisting OF
nine men and four women, formed in cir
Gle round hole in the ground and began
series Concentrations and went through some
queer movements. At one side a fire had
been kindled and above this hung a small
iron pot, in which one of the women was
brewing mixture, all the time keeping up
the same singing as the others. At II
O'Clock the pot was lifted from the fire and
it's contents thrown into the hole, and then
the men fell TO work digging with all their
might, while the women gathered around
the fire and chatted. The men worked un.
I'll . CLOCK ana Lnen hid their tools ana
the iron pot in hollow tree near by and
started for their homes. The next day Mr..
Demarest was informed of the transaction,
and with Mrs. Sly's farm manager, went to
the lot where the digging had been done.
There they found the things as described.
large hole about 20 feet square and 10
feet deep had been dug and the loose earth
had been piled up around the pit. The
next night watch was kept, and, when the
operations were fairly under way, Mr., Dem
Arrest stepped into the circle and demanded
an explanation. When the party had re-
covered from their surprise, one of the num-
Der acting as spokesman told Mr.. Demarest
that they were Spiritualists; that they had
had repeated assurances from the spirits of
their departed friends that there was gold
in that particular spot; that they had been
commanded to go there at IL o'clock and,
after performing the lamentations described,
to dig in a spot which was marked, and
they would find gold. There were to be IS
Of them, and under no circumstances must
they work after 4 o'clock. He said they
were sure they would find the gold. Mr..
Demarest put stop to their proceedings,
and threatened, if he found them there
again, TO have them arrested. That was the
last time they had been seen there

At the meeting of the Republican State
Central Committee here last evening, there
were present, Governor ROBBIE, Ex-Governor
Perham, and Ex-Governor Dingley, Collect
or F. N. Dow, General G. L. Beal, Hon.
George c. Wing, Hon. D. N. Mortland of
Rockland, Edwin Sprague of Rockland and
L. L. Walton of Skowhegan. Col. Dow,
Chairman of the Committee, after calling
the meeting to order offered his resignation
as Chairman, assigning as his motive for the
action the fact that he would be unable to
give proper attention to the performance of
the duties of that Office while holding his
present Office under the United States gov
eminent. His resignation was accepted
and Hon. George @. Wing was chosen
Chairman in his place. Edward K. Milliken
of this city was chosen Secretary. The
committee held long session, and among
the matters which received consideration,
the recent elections, of course, had promi-
nent place. Every one regarded the results
as unexpectedly favorable in their signif-
canoe with reference to Republican pros
poets for next year.

Milk and Infectious Diseases.
IN. Y. Tribune.l


An outbreak of typhoid fever in St. Pan
cras, London, has been traced to the milk
supply directly, and indirectly to sycamore
tree. During August there were 223 cases
of the epidemic within limited area. The
sanitary officer conducting an investigation
began by making a map of the district,
showing the distribution of houses where
there had been sickness He was able at
once to discard two theories of infection,
namely, the condition of the Regents Ca
nal and contaminated water from the mains,
and speedily 10 find an adequate cause in
the milk supply. Out of 431 persons attacked
during the summer, 1868 were known to OBJ
tain milk from one dealer and the remain
ing 63 might have done SO indirectly
Houses supplied by other dealers escaped /;
and in families which depended upon the
fatal milk-cart, those who drank milk were
attacked, while those who preferred beer
did not have the fever
The dealer obtained milk from five farms,
but the houses in st. Pancras in which the
fever had occurred had been supplied main
ly from the same farm. This was in st.
Adams; and as direct evidence that this
was the source of infection, the sanitary Of
ficer ascertained that certain porters in the
dealers employ were attacked after drink
ing the milk, that there were additional
cases on the farm itself, and that houses in
st. Adams supplied with the same milk
were also infected. The investigation hav-
ing been narrowed down to a single farm,
the water supply naturally fell under sus-
picion. The milk cans and pals were found
to be washed every day in dairy with
water obtained from well adjoining cess
pool A sycamore tree stood between them,
and it's roots probably gave opportunity for
the percolation of leakage from one into
the other. This was the most satisfactory
explanation which the sanitary inspector
could get of the outbreak of the fever.
1t is by no means certain, however, that
the milk was not infected by the prevalence
of the disease at the farm. A dairy man in
Dundee, for example, who kept his supply
of milk in room where his little boy lay
Frustrated with scarlet fever introduced the
disease in various households, until there
were seventeen cases and four deaths. In
stances are constantly arising where infec-
tious disease is directly communicated by
means of milk that has been directly ex-
posed to contamination in diaries or farm
houses. 1t is possible, therefore, that the
sycamore tree had less to do with the spread
OF contagion than the inspector supposed.
The relative situation of the cess-pool and
the well, however, naturally suggested the
final step in his series of ingenious deduc-
lions.

Gen. Grants letter to Fitz John Porter
does its author credit. It frankly ac-
knowledges that in his first judgment of
that Generals acts he acted on insufficient
information, and came 10 an incorrect CON
clusion. A better knowledge of the facts
convinces him that Gen. Porter did all in
his power to save Pope at the. second Bull
Run, and thai the sentence which the court
martial passed upon him was unjust. Gen.
Porter's case will probably come before Con-
gress again this winter and it ought to be
settled purely on its merits. There is no
reason why it should be looked upon as a
political question or made subject for par
tisan harangue.
