LOCAL AND TOWN NEWS,
A SERIOUS DROUTH.
A Water Famine Threatened

water Famine Threatened.
The drouth which has extended
throughout this section for the past
month, has become severe and disas-
trous during the extreme heat of the
past week. The water in both the
Stiles pond and river mains has been
wholly exhausted, mainly by reason OF
the increased consumption by individ-
uals upon gardens, lawns and streets.
Because of this comparatively needless
waste of water many takers who are
on a little higher elevation than their
neighbors are without any water for a
portion of the "a hours. The new dam
at the Centre has collected a pond
full there, and some arrangement may
be made to borrow part of it in case
of great necessity. Meantime it be-
hOoves every person not to use any
water except in case of necessity. If
this should be observed by all, every
one would have water enough for
their actual needs.
The drouth seriously affects vegeta-
ton, especially the farm crops; the
pastures are drying up, the hay crop
will be light, and other crops will be
seriously affected if the drOuth is not
broken very soon.

Thad SteVens's Club Foot.

Talking recently with a relative OF
Thaddeus Stevens, | learned of an act
in his youth which resembled the stoi-
cal herOism that was taught to the
youth of ancient Greece. He was born
with club foot, which was not only
malfOrmed but was twisted on one
side. His brother, who afterward sat
on "A bench in Vermont, was similarly
disfigured in both of his feet. Thad-
deus was lame and sickly up to his
sixteenth or seventeenth year. His
twisted foot was always a great eye
sore to him, and one day while his fam
lily was living in Peacham, where he
was born, his mother heard him grOan-
ing and talking TO himself just outside
the door of the house. Going out she
found that he had taken his club foot
in his lap and with his penknife had
deliberately severed the short tendOns
and was forcing the foot straight,
where he bound it with splints on the
side, tieing them on with his handker-
chief, which he had torn into shreds,
saying meanwhile to himself: "I'll fix
you if l have to cut you clear off"
When his foot healed the limb had
been somewhat Strengthened, but the
club foot remained as a deformity up
to his DEATH n. Y. Tribune.

TAX EXEMPTIONS.

| The American Machinist and the
length the question of tax exemptions,
using for illustrations the case of Mr..
Greenbank and his recent removal to
Enfield, N. H. The Machinist thinks
that when Enfield offered Mr.. Green
bank a good water power, contribu
tions amounting to $1,000 and prom
Use of exemption from taxation for 10
years, it was a pretty liberal bonus,
but that it is possible to exceed it.
Furthermore it thinks that if any other
mandatory is located in Enfield and
obliged to pay taxes, it is a good time
for some Vermont town to offer it a
good substantial bonus to leave Enfield
and start up in their town. There is
no justice in exemption from taxes, I'M
less it applies to all manufactures in
town in the same degree. Old produc-
tive industries that are taxed, while
new ones are exempt, will be apt to
look for inducements to move else
where.
To this the Cultivator, which strange
ly favOrs tax exemptions, responds
with a recital of the fight Enfield made
to get the new factory, of the cOmpe-
titiOn from Vermont towns, such as
Bradford, SwantOn, st. JOhnsbury, ETC.,
and says that the pith in this story is
in the fact that there are in Enfield fif-
teen well-established, seven or eight of
them large, manufacturing enterprises.
These all joined in the vote to well
come and exempt the new conner, and
are still planning to have more on the
same terms.
This is all very nice but these tax
exemption experiments have hardly
been given sufficiently extended trials
yet to warrant prOnouncing them as
sured successes. Mr.. Greenbank to
all intents and purposes went up and
down New England offering his bust
ness to that community that would pay
the highest price for it, in plain En-
glish seeking the highest bidder. En-
field bid highest and got it. Whether
it made wise investment of property
and money remains to be seen. Ger
tainly, Mr.. Greenbank did what many
another business man would do under
the same circumstances, btft.we doubt if
the good of New England as a whole is
furthered by this competition among
