SUDDEN DEATH OF A wELL-KNOWN
CITIZEN.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A wELL-KNOwN
CITIZEN.
Selim Frost fell at his own door on
returning from riding Thursday after
noon of last week, and expired in a
few moments without uttering a word.
He had been out driving with his wife
and their daughter-in-law, and in
turning into the yard they noticed
something peculiar in his driving, but
thought he might be snow blind. On
getting out of the sleigh he sank down
upon the ground. Nrighbors near at
hand carried him into the house and
laid him upon the sofa and summoned
"A physician, but he never spoke aud
breathed but short time. Although
in somewhat impaired health for a
number of years, Mr.. Frost had been
feeling unusually well for several days
previously. Tuesday evening he spent
at a neighbours and seemed in more
than ordinary good spirits. Wednes-
day evening he was in his accustomed
place in the prayer meeting, and
Thursday he had spent considerable
time in learning the new creed recon-
mended to the Congregational churches
and just published. Mr.. Frost had
been an emplOye at the scale works in
this place more than forty years, and
at the time of his death had been en-
gagged there the longest of any man
now on the works, standing next III
time to Major Francis Bingham who is
no longer actively engaged in the bus
mess. Mr.. Frost had been a consistent
member of the North Congregations
church for forty-four years, and per

CALEDONIA COUNTY CATCHES A $4,000
SNOW AND RAIN STORM.

This weeks storm has been the most
serious Caledonia county has had in
five years. 1t began to snow Friday,
more came Saturday, it eased up lit
tie Sunday, but Monday was clearer"
Tuesday forenoon the flakes began to
fall again and for while they came
faster than at any other time during
the storm. By noon, however, the
snow had ceased to fall. From one
and a-half to two feet by actual meas
ure had come in St. Johnsbury and
about the same amount in the towns
around. This more than doubles the
amount of snow on the ground. 1t is
now at least four feet deep on a level
in the woods. At one place beside the
main road from here to Barnet, where
there is no chance to drift, it measures
little over four feet and there is said
to be five feet of snow in the swamp
| between West Danville and Marshfield

Consumption in ST. Johnsbury.
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTIVE WORTH
MORE THAN A POUND OF CURE.


MORE THAN A POUND OF CURE.
Twenty -tive years ago DR.. Selim
very extensive practice, remarked that
he did not know of a case of consump-
ton in st. Johnsbury, and had known
of but one during the past five years.
He spoke of this freedom from this fell
disease as something remarkable, for in
the same connection he remarked that
he could not drive through school
district in Danville or Peacham without
passing one or more houses where there
were now or recently had been cases
of consumption. The doctor could not
account for this and did not pretend
to he only admitted the fact. How
changed is all this in the past twenty
five years. Now consumption is a
common disease in this town and it
cannot have escaped the notice of most
of our readers that young men and
young women are frequently the vic
Tins, and there are no race distinctions,
but the hardy foreigner is subject to
this malady as well as the native born.
The person who can tell the rising
generation how to prevent cOnsump-
ton There is no cure) is benefactor.
| There are learned men who have made
this "A study and their words should be
needed. And first, the danger from
this fatal disease will be reduced to the
minimum if every child and young
person will form the habit of standing
fill their lungs with pure air to theil
utmost capacity, holding them full as
long as they can hold their breath, and
then emptying them gradually. Let
them do this a half dozen times every
night and morning, throwing back
their shoulders and working their arms
vigorously Of with dumb-bells all the
better) and there will be little danger
of consumption, and why 2 1t is con
coded by all medical men that this dis.
ease generally comes from disuse ol
the lungs. Persons of sedentary hab.
its, who take no vigorous exercise
hardly ever fill their lungs to their full
capacity. Like any other organ un'
used, the part of the lung not filled
soon becomes diseased, the disease
spreads and that is consumption.
OF course other things are necessary
such as pure air in sleeping and work
rooms, avoidance of crowded rooms
and bad air generally, but the boy o
girl who has not inherited the diseas
stands a very small chance of havin,

The Markets.

Eggs are down to % cents now and
butter has dropped a little, selling at
prices ranging from Is to 81 cents.
Sugar, too, in the last few weeks has
ulated white now retails at III pounds
for a dollar. Sugar may grow still
cheaper. The meat and -four and feed
men are not congratulating themselves.
With the wholesale price of beef as high
as ever, too high, it is claimed, for
profitable handling by retailers, now
the price of pork takes squirt, the
wholesale price per pound having just
been raised one cent.
Pork that was recently got for 81
now commands 90 aud 90, snd some of
the smaller meatmen i'll despair have
given up cutting. Farmers won't
listen to you" they say, "for anything
short of 10 cents. They think they'll
get ii and IL cents pretty soon. |
don't believe it. | expect to buy all l
want for cents before long, Still
the retail prices of pork do not change.
The flour and feed men have nothing
to do but sit still and grumble; they
can't scold at prices, for, in their view,
there are none. Flour is so low and
wheat so high, they say, that our mil
lers in the West have shut down and
have nothing to sell us.
One Minneapolis miller writes his
customers that he has been making
-four at a loss of 40 cents on every
barrel and has wisely decided to shut
down and wait for a change in the
situation. If no flour is made, of
course there can be no material for
bran and middlings; hence our dealers
are unable to buy any and both articles
are high, bran Sl.20 and Sl.25 and
middlings SI.40.

/ this place and Danville got stuck Mon
day in drift and a man had TO be sent
to this village for help. a ''shovel
brigade" Immediately set out in Hack
man Lucas's four-horse team and soon
got the train out of its difficulty. The
White Mountain Notch filled in again
and no train got through this week till
yesterday. On the Montpelier and
Wells River road the mails We're de-
| layed from two to ten hours. but aside
from that no trouble was experienced.
But the country towns felt the big
storm the most. Scores of farmers
who live on cross roads and "side
tracks" have been completely shnt off
| from the rest of the world by snow
drifts. A trackless waste surrounded
| their habitations and they were forced
! to keep a protracted Sabbath of rest.
In many places the roads were cOnsid-
erably higher than the fences and un-
less business was driving nobody ven
tured ont. A farm house is presumed
to be well provisioned so it isn't deemed
necessary to visit ones buried neigh
bOrs, as has to he done in less favored
localities. At one secluded house down
Ryegate way the family amused them
selves, when the storm had abated a
little, with SNOW sculpture. A huge
snow image stood and probably stands
directly in front of the house, looking
about as hideous as anything imagina
bic on a shady night.
The breaking of the roads this week
has taken about all the patience of the
commissioners or surveyors. as the case
might be. 1t is estimated that it has
cost the towns of this county over
5000 to break the roads. The light
rain following the snow made it es-
pecially difficult. There are nearly
as many ways of breaking out these
horse tracks as there are surveyors, but
one old pioneer says not one of them
is right. In his boyhood days sheep
were used to break the roads. A
bundle of sweet hay was drawn along
and the sheep were coaxed to follow.
They crowded each other and trampled
the snow with their little feet, soon
making the road passable.
But after all it isn't so unpleasant to
drive through snowy banks higher than
the sleigh shafts as had to be done in
many places between here and Barnet,
or over drifts fifteen feet deep as in
Peacham, or even to ride in cars with
the snow up even with the windows
for two or three miles, as travellers
have had to do up Walden way. Good
democrats ought to be satisfied any
way. 1t is "A change.
