WIN. HENRY HARRISON MILE R
ATTORNEY GENERAL.


William Henry Harrison Miller the for.
mer law partner Of Gen. Harrison, was
born. in Augusta. Oneida county,. n. y,
nearly forty-eight years ago. His father
was Wing and an admirer of Gen. Harri-
son the First. He entered Hamilton col
lege at IL years of age, and was graduated
at 20, devoting part of the last college
year to the study of law, which profession
he had determined to follow. He entered
upon the study of law under the instruction
Of Judge Waite of Toledo, o., afterward
chief justice of the United States supreme
court. Completing his studies, he returned
to Oneida county, and was married to Miss
Gertrude A. Bunce, and they then removed
to Fort Wayne, Ind, where Miller entered
Octively upon the duties of his profession.
Here he remained for eight years and three
children were born to him. The eldest is
now ~ years of age; tie next, son, is a
Junior at Hamilton college, and the third is
a daughter about II. Miller rose rapidly in
his profession, and soon stood at the head
of Fort Wayne bar. In the course of his
eight years of practice at Fort Wayne, Mil
Ter had met Harrison frequently, and in
1874 he received an offer of partnership with
Harrison in indianapolis. The offer was at
once accepted, and he and his family NOV
ed to indianapolis and became intimate
friends and cOnfidents of the HarrisOns, the
most intimate in fact that the latter have
ever had. In everything that pertains to
his business Miller IS model of precision,
and Harrison has come to regard him as alb
sOlutely necessary to him, whether in or
out Of office. The admiration is mutual,

II do solemnly swear that will faithfully

At the conclusion of the reading OF the

A silence almost painful had marked this

Three years ago this property was
purchased by one of Akron, Ohio's
most prosperous business men, Joseph
E. Wesener, Esq, situated in the de-
lightful village of Newbury, VT, with
in five minutes walk of the railroad.
This resort is more especially celebrat-
ed for its medical springs. Thousands
of persons now living can give most
grateful testimonials of the healing
and curative properties of these wa
tiers. AS soon as this property was
purchased Mr.. Wesener began extern
ssive repairs, doing a most thorough
and complete job. having large force
of workers busily engaged nearly all
the first season. Mr.. Wesener's especial
forte is sanitarianism and to this end
he has bent every energy in the fitting
up of this popular resort. Everyone
who has visited his establishment pro-
nounces it the cleanest spot in New
England. The building has been new
ly furnished with comfortable and
suitable furniture, all new and clean.
Extensive bathing rooms are in the an
mex of the same, the water being pump
ed directly from the celebrated sulphur
and iron spring and heated by large
engine in the basement. The spring
proper is in the Institute building,
which building is fitted for the conven-
fence and comfort of the guests. The
Monticello. hill from which the re-
sort takes its name, is owned by Mr..
Wesener and is kept for the exclusive
use of his guests. From the summit of
this hill, which is reached by numer-
GUS shaded paths and walks, a most
delightful and enchanting view is to
be had. The broad interval with its
carpet of green, stretches away until
its feet are bathed in the clear, silvery
waters of the Connecticut. From the
summit of this hill, which can be
reached by five minutes walk, can be
seen the vast and stately range of
White Mountains with the stern and
pOrtly Lafayette for back ground.

ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE
FREAKS OF NATURE ON
RECORD.

CONNELLsVILLE, PA, Jan. g.
Twenty.eight years ago when Mrs.
Sarah ROthermal gave birth to a
son there was a mark upon the
back part of the Infants head just
below and to the right of the base
of the brain. The parents we're
not superstitlous, aud not great
deal of attention was then paid to
the defect in the chlld's head. To
day he is widely known, and the
birthmark upon james b. Rother-
mai is the most remarkable freak
IN nature yet heard of in this sec.
ton of the country.
The man is a carpenter by trade
and lives IN Sprlnghill Township,
close to where the Cheat River
emptIes into the MOnOngahela.
He is more than ordinarily intelli-
gent. Mr.. RothermaPs blrthmark
is not of the common kind, and it's
transformation with the changing
OF the moon makes 1t particularly
peculiar. 1t is naturally crescent in
shape and blush in color. AS the
moon IL turning the first quarter
the mark becomes a reddish hue,
and the swelling OF the flesh below
il, extending diagonally across the
neck to the right shoulder, is per.
ceptible. The mark becomes red.
der az the moon grows older, and
the flesh swells correspondingly.
When the moon is full the crescent
is Of bright red, and the flesh
assumes hornlike roll over two
inches in thickness at the largest
part, gradually tapering to a point
on the shoulder.
As the birthmark grows large as
the moon becomes full so it de.
creases in size as the moon wanes,
and when the moon ~ quite dark
there is nothing to be seen but the
Blush, cresent.shaped IN ar K.
Singular as 1t may appear, these
changes have come regularly ever
since the man was born. Mr..
Rothermal suffers no Inconvenience
by the enlargement Of the neck
nor does he endure much pain. He
needs no lmanac to tell the
change in the moon, simply
placing his hand on the mark to
tell its condition. While gong TO
school the scholars and teacher
often observed the changes in the
birthmark, and wondered at the
remarkable regularity with which
they occurred. There are many
theories discussed by Mr.. ROther-
malls acquaintance as to the rela.
ton of the moon to animal life, but
none has been advanced which is
satisfactory to every one. All
agree, however, that the freak can
20 on record as the strangest thus
tar observed.
