TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Necessitating n Surgical Operation-Lov-
ing Mother Attempts to Take a Pair
of Shears from Her Child.
PARENTS BE CAREFUL.

Domestic accidents are common to women,
and some eff them are very serious Mrs. War
ner, of South Rondout, Ulster Co, N. some
weeks ago attempted to take from her child
pair of shears with which 1t was playing. A
slight struggle ensued, in which the point of
the shears entered Mrs. Warmers left eye, en-
tirely destroying the sight. Her family ply
sician did what he could, but intensely pain
full Inflammation arose, which, by sympathy,
threatened the loss of the other eye. Total
blindness to q woman having the care OF a
household is an irretrievable calamity In
this strait Mrs. w. applied to the well known
and skillful surgeon, DIR. David Kennedy,
OF Rondout, N. Y, who removed the injured
eye by very successful operation, setting
aside ~ danger of further harm to the sight
OF the other eye. But, owing to pain and
mental distress, her system needed tonic
and restorative medicine. To do this work
the doctor prescribed "Kenpedy's Favorite
Remedy" which sustained its reputation and
laid a sure foundation of health.
DR.. Kennedy's "Favonte Remedy" removes
all impurities from the blood, regulates the
liver and kidneys. Cures constipation, aud
all diseases and weaknesses peculiar to fe-
males. It is for sale by all our druggists at
one dollar q bottle. 1874

No Doubt,

The truest successes in life are not
those into which people fall by accident,
or those which they win by q single
bold stroke, but those into which they
grow by a slow and sure unfolding of
capacity and power. The. most unfortu-
nate thing than can happen to a young
man is often the very thing which his
friends regard as piece of exceedingly
good luck. There is no better prepara-
ton for failure than that a man has
been put into place of influence, re-
sponsibility and power, before he has
been developed and equipped for it.
Men who make this mistake, or have
the misfortune, commence life at the
apex of the pyramid, and descend, step
by step, to the bottom. The true road
to success leads in the opposite direc-
ton; it begins in small things, and by q
patience which never yields to dis
couragement, to disappointment, to hope
deferred, moves ON from one point of
achievement to another, meeting each
new opportunity with an increased
power and each new duty with an en-
larged outlook upon the work to be
done. The method of growth is the
method of nature, and no man can copy
her methods too closely. They are
lue Oul1 anu
unfailing. Long ago DIR. Holmes put
the whole matter of success in life in
few pathetic words descriptive of the
race in which those who started With
most of promise were left behind, and
the unexpected winner came to the front
by virtue of qualities unsuspected at the
beginning. The promise of success is
not in brilliancy of gift, in quickness Of
action, nor in higl ambitions, but in thai
patience which is in itself noble achieve
ment. The man who is sure to win
waits for success while he slowly trains
himself in all she schools of work, en-
durance and study. The patient man
has no expectation of carrying off the
crown when he has passed the first stone
in the course, and the shouts of the speo-
tators. if they applaud his speed, bSve
no other effect upon him than to urge
him on over the tract which lies between
him and tho distant goal. He places
his faith not in tricks, or devices, or
luck. but in the development of himself
by law of nature which is as certain in
its operations "a that which moves the
planets in their courses. There is not
the slightest doubt that patience wins the
most lasting successes, and that he alone
can hope for the noblest things who is
willing not only to work but also to wait

We are told by gentleman who is situated to
know whereof he speaks, that several persons in
Wellington made 1t point the day Of the concert
to circulate the report and all their influence in
keeping away persons in Wellington who are ad-
mirers OF Litta and had concluded to attend the
concert in New London. Considering the bitter
feeling between Wellington and New London. en-
xendered by the late political holocaust in the
Fourteenth District, the animus that led TO such
action on the part of our Wellington neighbors is
obviouss-New London Record
1t would be interesting to know who
those several persons in Wellington are
who are so much at leisure, or who have
the disposition to injure New London to
the extent of trying to influence anyone
from going there for anything they want
1t would be a very small business to en-
gage in, and it is difficult to conceive the
possibility of such petty malice and spite,
or believe anyone capable of it. All that
nonsense indulged in by New London
writers about Wellington being united in
a universal and deliberate conspiracy to
injure their town, or to draw their business
enterprises to Wellington is childish and
unworthy of sensible people. As far as
the political animosity is concerned, we
have not felt any, and do not know of any
one here who has any jealousy of New
London. The bitterness of the last politi-
cal campaign did not reach skin deep in
our town. In fact, Wellington people can
hardly remember that they had an election
last fall. Come to think of il, we believe
the Democracy had one in which we took
a very little interest, but we speak the
words of truth when we say that yelling
ton has no such contemplate spirits as
would desire to injure New London or any
other town for the attitude assumed in the
last campaign. We have more important
matters on hand. That Is a thing of the
past, as dead as anything can be. Well
ington citizens are simply building up
their own business and town in q legiti-
mate way, and it is not true, and never has
been, that any negotiations have been
made to secure good things for Wellington
for the sake of injuring New London to
that extent. "Now let us have peace"

FARM AND FfRESIDE.

For spice cake use two cups of
sugar, one cup of butter, three eggs,
one cup of cold water, teaspoonful of
soda, three cups of raisins, chopped,
three cups of flour, and spice to suit
the taste.
For cup puddings that are quickly
made beat up. four spoonfuls of flour.
with a pint of milk and four eggs; add
nutmeg and sugar to suit the taste; but
ter tea cups and ill them three-quarters
full, and bake for a quarter of an hour.
Ham toast, which is very nice for
breakfast, is made of one slice of cold
ham cut into small pieces. one egg, a
little thin cream, and a little pepper and
salt; mix together on the stove until it
thickens, and then pour over toast but
tered and cut in slices.
To make good turkey soup take the
bones and cook for about an hour in
Just enough water to cover them. then
add little of the dressing and beaten
egg, and if desired little finely chop
ped celery. After taking from the fire,
season with butter, pepper and salt.
-Po6ltry breeders do not seem to ap-
preciate the great value of bones for
their fowls, and but limited few ever
make use of them for this purpose. No
matter whether the birds are confined or
not, they are sure to be benefited by
moderate quantity of bones. though those
which are in close confinement need them
most.
For delicious white cake take one
cup of white sugar, one-third of a cup of
melted butter, whipped to q cream, one
third of cup of milk, and stir thor
oughly; then add one cup of flour, sifted,
one-third of cup of corn starch and one
teaspoonful of baking powder. Take
the whites of four eggs, beat them to a
stiff froth and stir in thoroughly; flavor
with lemon and bake slowly.
For excellent lemon creams, pare
four lemons very thin, and put the peel
in twelve tablespoonfuls of water;
squeeze the juice into eight ounces of
finely-powdered sugar; take the yelks of
ten eggs, well beaten, and add the peel,
water and juice gradually, and strain
through a muslin cloth into a suew-pan;
stir one way over slow fire until it be-
comes quite thick, taking care not to let
it boil; serve in custard cups.
One of the best omelets we have
ever eaten is made after Catherine
Owens recipe: Take the crumb of a
slice of bread, soak it in hot milk (cold
will do. but hot is better), beat up whites
of four eggs to a high froth; mix the
bread with all the milk it will absorb. no
more, into paste, add the yelks of eggs
with little salt, set the pan on the fire
with an ounce of butter. Let it get very
hot. then mix the whites of eggs with
the yelks and bread lightly. pour in the
pan, and move about for minute; if the
oven is hot when the omelet is brown
underneath set the pan in the oven for
five minutes, or until the top is set; then
double half over. and serve. The ad-
vantage of this omelet is that it keeps
plump and tender till cold, so that five
minutes of waiting does not turn it into
leather. the great objection to omelets
generally.-N Y Examiner.

DIR. TANNER, who has been extensively
published as being vegetarian, and as
having experimental upon his wife with
prolonged diet of one vegetable after an
other to prove certain theories as to the
effect OF the same upon the temper, writes
10 the Cleveland Herald from Litchfeld.
O., disclaiming any experience in such
Stiffness, but believes the human character
is largely influenced by the nsture offood,
and is very decided in his antipathy to
pork; and with many other writers upon
these subjects, is convinced that the ex-
cessive use of swine's flesh predisposes
afier generations, even to congenital di-
sease, and that the mischief does not stop
with physical results

FROM the Herald of Tuesday we learn
that the old project to build a railroad from
Wellington through Oberlin and Amherst
to Lorain is again revived, and the building
of the road is not an improbability. "Wel-
lington is a great cheese town; Oberlin,
with its prosperous schools, furnishes a
large passenger traffic; Amherst is famous
for its stone, and Lorain has one of the best
harbors on Lake Erie, and it is reasoned
that with plenty of cheese, students and
stone, the road, with the aid of the lake
traffic, would be q good investment. The
distance from -Lorain to Wellington is
twenty five miles, and four such good
towns ought to contribute largely toward
the support Of the road. 1t is said that the
Wheeling & Lake Erie is agitating the
scheme" By all means let us have the
road. Wellington is now in the line Of i'm
provement and progress, and viii cordially
welcome any enterprise that will contribute
to her growth and prosperity.

the confined gas explodes, the burning oil
is thrown over the victim. But if people
must pour on in their stoves, or burning
lamps there is no help for the accident ex-
cept TO have wire screen over the spout
Of the can. or else keep oil from the fire"
Mr.. Mann, The chemist mentioned. has es-
tablished facts by experiments, before the
Smithsonion Institute, that oil of any grade
or fire test will explode under similar cir
cumstances. And all manufacturers of re-
fined oil concede as much. Such state
ment coming from parties disinterested in
gas, seems to us to fully justify the asser-
ton, broad as it is, that petroleum, in its
various forms and the uses to which it is
put in lamps and gasoline machines, has
been and will continue to be the most ex-
pensive and dangerous illuminant ever
used, not even excepting electric light,
which is being demonstrated very ex-
pensive luxury by some cities whose i'm
pulses to follow new things was greater
than their knowledge of the cost of the
luxury. Glancing at the council reports
of the city of Cleveland, we notice that the
lighting expense for electric light for the
year 1882 was $1,000 over the cost of gas
for same amount of space.

GALLATIN ABLAZE.
LKr rHKRK BE LIGHT, AND THERE WAS LIGHT.
Last Saturday night was the .'grand opening
for the Gallatin Gas Co. The streets had been
lighted up before, but the gas had not been gener-
ally turned to the and private dwellings,
and Saturday night was fixed for the general light
ing up Of the entire town At an early hour the
whole town was ablaze, far and near, with miles
OF street lamps, while every business house and
dwelling shone with light. Everyone was in good
humor and made night Of it. The streets and
stores presented gay scene and crowds of fair la
dies took an evening airing Everyone was de-
lighted with the bright and clear light, and every
one was satisfied, except the few old fogies who
oppose all progress, and who have, in time, been
over by steamboats, railroads, telegraphy, tele
phones and other grand Improvements Of the age
They were left again Saturday night, for they had
lived to another advance in the face of their evil
prophecies. And now as to the cost OF the light,
for that after ALL Is the question Of most interest
TO the pocket After much inquiry OF those who
have used the gas thus far we find three opinions:
Those who think il a little higher than coal oil /;
those who think 1t little less than coal oil those
who think il about the same as coal oil. A mean
between the mere opinions would place it about
the same The Variations in these estimates can
be easily accounted for by the exact figures as to
the Of coal oil few have takeu the trouble
to keep account OF the time in which they have
consumed any given quantity, (nor the broken
lamps, chimneys, and wicks, TO say nothing of the
loss Of time in keeping them ready) But consid-
ering the superior quality Of gas light as measured
by candle power, there can be no question that it
is cheaper than coal oil light.
