Here is another. Every year hundreds of
young farmers in Vermont become discon-
tented and seek homes in the distant states
Ur territories. Below is something for those
to read who have this in mind but have not
yet decided to go;
ut is significantly said by a gentleman
Just from Dakota that thousands of people,
dit couraged on account of wheat rates, this
season away below cost Of production, would
leave the territory at once if they could get
rid of their farms at almost any price Those
who forsake tolerably comfortable conditions
in the oder-settled sections Of the country
and go West depending upon speedy indie
pendence by aid of the great cereal, may find
even one remove (nstead of the proverbial
three of Poor Rchard) bad as a fire.
Stick to Vermont. Few states can boast of
more pleasant farm homes, surrounded by
more of the comforts and couveniences of
life

The Husband Loses His Money and the Wife Her
Hair.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Rutherford, who
live on q lonely road few miles out of Petro-
liza. Pa, awoke one morning last week, it was
nearly 8 o'clock. Both complained of ear
splitting headaches. Mr.. Rutherford, who is
Temperance man, got out of bed. He STUN
bled over bottle on the floor strong odOr
emanated from its open mouth. On its label
was the word "ChlOroform.' This explained
the headaches. Then Mr. Rutherford started
to search the house to ascertain how much
money the burglars had taken. He was re-
called to the bed chamber by shrek from his
wife.
whats the matter?" he cried.
"Some scoundrel," sobbed the wife, has cut
off all of my hair, and (sobbing) I'm nearly
baldheaded."
"This," said Mr.. Rutherford, seeing that
what his wife said was true, is adding insult
to injury. Not content with robbing us of our
money, the dastards have had the audacity to
cut Off your hair. They might have taken the
money ana not molested your hair"
Mrs. Rutherford prided herself on her long,
luxuriant brown hair, which fell below her
waist. 1t had been cropt close to her head.
The burglars took 1858 in cash, but failed to
find $500 in greenbacks concealed in trunk
in the bedroom. Out in the yard, near the
front gate, was found the stark and stiff body
of the big Newfoundland dog. He had been
poisoned.
