 The Indians first made the settlers ac- quainted with the virtues of the chaly- beate springs in Stafford, when, in the year 1719, this part of the country began to be settled. It had been thelr practice. tune immemorial, to resort to them in the warm season of the year, and plant their wigwams round them. They recommend ed the water as an eye-water but gave, a, their own particular reason for drinking it, that it enlivened the spirits. In 1766, they were carefully examined by Dr. War ren, of Rhode Island, who then entertain ed thought of purchasing the land on which they rise, with view to establish ing himself upon it. Subsequent events transformed the same physician into sol dier, and the doctor fell, with the rank of major-general, on Bunker's Hill. Dr. Will lard, the present proprietor, has put Dr. Warren's plan into practice, by building a large house, for the reception of patients and others
 The mineral substances held in solution in this water, are said to have been found by analysis to be carbonated iron and sul- phat of magnesia. The iron is in consid- erable proportion, but the carbonic acid is less remarkable in this than in several oth CT springs Some persons have said, and perhaps with good foundation that the wa- ter resembles that of Tunbridge in Eng land, but that it is stronger. Exposed to. the action of the caustic fixed alkali. 1t throws down an ochrous precipitate. Prus- siats of lime and potass communicate discernible blue tinge; and muriat of barytes a very copious sediment. The water is said to have effected more than one extraordinary cure in dropsy, and is recommended in all the complaints for which chalybeates are usually resorted to, In the neighbourhood, the greater number of patients that it attracts appear to be such as labour under scrofnlous diseases.

Some years ago there was village gro- cer and draper who, among other articles in stock, kept whiskey, which he sold on the sly. One day, when there were sever al customers in, fellow entered and roar ed out, "Give me quart of whiskey Don't sell the article" was the reply and the grocer followed the customer to the door, where he whispered, You must n't call out like that but, when you want any whiskey, come in and ask for q yard of something, and give me the wink, and I'll furnish you your liquid in b title. j "All right" said the customer, 'T'll be in again. And he did come in again shortly after, and sang out, ''Say, mister, I want yard of pork, and you can put 1t in g bottle" The shopkeeper's face was ot vermilion hue, as his other customers laughed and "a yard of pork" was by word in that town for long time.

back room in pool of blood. Physicians were
Immediately called, and his wound attended to.

He was removed to his residence, and later his
account of the affair was taken. He said, 81

SMALL Pox.
A Terrible state of Affairs In the
M0nfreaI AnSnifaI

MONTREAL, Oct. Sat the meeting Of the civ
ic board of health at Montreal yesterday, the iso
lation committee reported that the work of relief
had revealed 1000 cases of small pox in 739
houses scattered throughout the city wards, those
principally affected being st. Murray and st.
James.
Some very damaging statements in regard to
the system of treating small pox patients in the
hospital have been made by two eX-inmates. They
say the patients are crowded together in the same
bed-mi1d cases with bad ones-and the dirt and
filth and vile smell in the wards are terrible. The
clothing furnished the patients also is very scanty
and attendance abominabe. Patients change
their own clothing as long as they are able and
when they are too weak to do it those patients
who are strong enough to go about do it for them.
Patients are often ill during the night and need
attendance but no nurses are about and no mat
ter how loudly the patient may knock no assistance
is given. The patients sometimes have to wait
an hour for drink and those whose eyes are closed
by the disease sometimes beg for a long time for
lotion that is used to wash them before getting it.
As soon as the patient dies the body is. sewed up
in sheet and thrown on the floor to be removed
at a future time. The hospital officials deny all
these charges and they are now being investiga-
ted by the authorities.
OTTAWA, Oct S.-Several cases of small poX
have been discovered at Mattawa, carried there

More Reform.

Albion K. P. Lord, who has for the past
twenty years honestly, faithfully and eff
ciently discharged the duties of postmaster at
West Buxton, has been removed to make a
place for William III. Smith of Hollis. The
pretert for Mr.. Lords removal is offensive
partisanship," when as matter of fact he
has necer taken any part in politics beyond
exercising the right of franchise. On the
other hand his successor is the acknowledged
leader of the Democratic party in Hollis, a
"copperhedd" during the war, and ''mG-
chine politician" ever since. His place OF
business has always been the headquarters
of the Hollis Democracy.
The political services rendered by Mr..
Smith have been of so much value that the
administration has granted him permission
to remove the Office from the Buxton side Of
the Saco river-the business centre of the
village-to the Hollis side, notwithstanding
the fact that an urgent remonstraDce against
such a removal was forwarded to the De-
partment, signed by all the business commu-
nifty irrespective Of party.
