Carroll Inafitntc.

The meeting of the Carroll institute last
evening was very interesting, The reports of
the different committees were received with
favor, and, Judging from the preparations
now being made, the regular weekly meet
ings of the coming winter will be even more
interesting than heretofore. The announce
ment that the Rev. Father Walter was about
to have the building repaired and repainted
gave universal satisfaction, and vote of
thanks was unanimously rendered him.

The newspaper men of the state did wisely
in fixing upon Memphremagog Lake as the
place for their annual outing this week No
resort in Now England offers greater natural
attractions than does this beautiful lake and
its surrounding country. The lake itself is
30 miles long and of an average width Of
some two miles, and lies for the greater part
of its length in Queen Victoria's dominions.
At the head of the lake, in the thriving and
attractive village of Newport, is the Mem
phremagog House, which ranks among the
best and most commodious of New England
summer hotels, its broad piazzas looking out
upon tho lake and its handsome appointments
Offering every desirable attraction for the
summer guest. staunch little Clyde-built
steamer plies upon the lake, making the trip
to Magog, at the Canada end of the lake,
either once or twice daily, as the season de-
mands. No fresh-water sail in New England
waters within our knowledge compares with
this in beauty and variety of scene. Half way
up the lake, on the western Shore is the ia
nous owls Head a grand old mountain
rising straight up from the shore of the lake
to height of $500 feet. An excellent hotel
stands at its foot, and the climb up its rugged
sides has rare attraction for those whose ma
tive energy impels them to the task The
view from the summit is one of remarkable
breadth and grandeur. As the boat approach
es the northern end of the lake Mount Or
ford, the highest land in the Canadas, looms
up in the near distance, while the shores on
either side present an uninterrupted series of
natural attractions. The railroad arrange
ments are excellent, the time from Brattle-
boro to Newport by the afternoon express be-
ing only about six hours. We hope the
knights of the quill, after their visit there
this week, will succeed in eiTectually calling
the attention of our Vermont people to this
delightful spot within their own borders, the
attractions of which are quite too little
known. And no harm will be done if they
find out, also, that at Lake Willoughby, a few
miles this side of Memphremagog there is
one of the most romantic and enticing spots
which the country holds.

payment Of tho tax. The customs duty on
this article is about 81 a gallon, but it is pro.
vided by law that when domestic article
which has been exported, is reimported,
There shall be levied, collected, aud paid
thereon duty equal to the tax imposed by
the internal revenue upon such articles, %
which in the case Of whiskoy is ninety cents
a gallon. When articles in bonded ware
houses are withdrawn for export the lien Of
the internal revenue is discharged. The deal
ers' plan would work in this way. Whiskey
would be formally withdrawn and the tax
cancelled It would be sent to Bermuda and
after reasonable time be brought back, sub
ject to a duty of ninety cents. But imported
articles, according to law may lie in bond for
three years, so that by this neat continuance
the dealers would get an even longer extern
sion than they Intellectually sought to secure
from congress. The Attorney. General, how
ever, has given tho Secretary Of the Treasury
an opinion to the effect that such withdrawal
and expectation arc not within the meaning
of the law The plan will therefore fail, be-
cause while the dealers could afford to pay
freight both ways on condition Of paying a
duty Of ninety cents three years after reim-
portation, they could scarcely afford to pay
the freight and incur duty of two dollars.

voyage across in the remarkably quick time of
less than seven days had it not been for the

1t is only ten years since cholera was cpl
demic in the United States. In 1873 it was
very general throughout the Mississippi Val
ley, there being over 1000 cases in nearly
800 localities and less than half recovered.
Yet the echoes Of the scare in Europe upon
our shores are very faint, 30 strong is the feel
ing of security in the work of quarantine.
And yet it cannot be questioned that the ways
of cholera are even more mysterious than
those of yellow fever. Its poison is easily
concealed and most portable, and there is no
certain limit of time to its vitality. So chat
in these days of easy travel and immigration
no locality is entirely secure against attack.
Thus, in 1873 three distinct centres of the
disease were established at so remote points az
towns in Ohio, Minnesota, and Dakota from
poison brought by immigrants from Holland.

ly healthy, and so were the people, until their
goods were unpaoked in the heart of this
country in the cool North and remote West
Then the disease broke out in most virulent
form. The only way in which it is expected
to reach the United States is by the iInporta
ton of its peculiar poison contained in the
elections of sick person and carried In cloth
