TWO VERMONT BIRDS.
Even the Crows Talk up Here in Vermont.
From the New York Sun1


Charles Smith, blacksmith of Concord,
has been a keeper a nd tanner Of crows some
40 years, never being without one or more
of these birds. Fanny. his present pet, has
been with him two years. She warns her
self for hours by the smthy fire, chatters
while he is hammering on the anvil, and
when he is shoeing horse is sure to stand
at the beasts heels. Recently horse put
his foot on Fanny and pinned her down till
she was as fat as board. She was laid
on the hearth apparently dead, but an hour
afteward she shook herself up into shape
again and began chatterng as usual,
though in very squally and melancholy
tone, which lasted for "A week or more.
The reporter has heard many parrots
talk, but never bird that enunciated the
words as plain as Fanny. 1t is inst pity
that Fanny is not whit more moral. The
sailor bred parrots and those living in the
saloons and barber shops are expected to be
profane but to one living in the country
and away from temptation people look for
better things.
But Mr. Smith says Frank was the great
est of all crows. Frank was bad-headed
and lived with him four years,
never during that time going away from
the shop One spring, however, he was
prevailed upon by jet beauty to go nest
ing with her in the woods below town, some
two miles away on the Moose river Mr..
Smith thought he had been killed, till one
doy while Mr. Smith was hunting on the
river accompanied by his dog, whom Frank
greatly liked the crow flew down from
great spruce tree, chartered about them,
and permitted himself to be fondled as
usual. Several visits were made to the tree
during the early spring and always with
the same hospitable greeting.
Later on, in the beginning of summer,
Mr.. Smith saw bald crow hanging on a
| giblet in Lon Quinby's corn field. Frank
was the only bald crow of whom he knew,
and he ct once concluded it must be Frank.
He went at once to the spruce tree. The
nest was there and its young, the mother
crow above on the highest bouqh, but no
| Frank, with his friendly cawing and vel
come. The genial blacksmith, in giving this
J account, observed in the most pathetic way:
at was too bad that the poor fellow should
be shared and hung mp in that way just for
dc ing his duty in providing victuals for his
family

itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innuworahle
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the hest cure for Indigestion. even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and Indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until | commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparila, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla | could see an Improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
proved each day, and after a lew
months of faithful attention to Your
directions, l found myself well

duties. Tie medicine has given me

Disarming an Unseen Foe.

ters against that unseen foe, malaria, it
is no longer paradox, but an easy pos
sibility. Wherever malaria evolves its
misty venom to poison the air, and de-
caying unwhOlesome vegetation impreg-
mates the water, there, in the very strong
hold of Iniasma, is the auxiliary potent
to disarm the foe and assure efficient.
Fever and ague, bilious remittent, dumb

The Division is Traced.

According to our esteemed Contem-
porary, the Breaux Brige Union, the in
dignatiOn meetings held in the upper
part of this parish, originated in the
fifth ward,-that the first meeting was
held at Grand POinte etc; but our friend
the Union does not say who were the
riginatOrs of these meetings. We are
left under the impression they were
from the town Of Breaux Bridge. The
ice-presidents were also selected from
all over the country, from Arnaudville
down to the lower limits Of the third
ward; but our friend again fails to say
these vice presidents were selected with
out their knowledge and consent, at
least, some of them, as we are inform
ed that some of the vice-presidents were
opposed to the meetings and resolutions,
but lacked the firmness to so inform
the managing officers of the meetings.
Our contemporary further says that
resolutions were passed all stamped
with spirit of friendship and concord,
without the shade of word to foster
discord, oi disunion." "These resolu-
tiOns were passed because the negro is
considered out of politics, and the peo-
pie of Breaux Bridge being under the
impression that the 4th and 9Th wards
have large white majority over the lst.,
2rd.. and 3ld wards. They are in error.
and the time will prove that they are in
minority, and the controlling power
without the negro is in the lst., 2nd. and
3rd. wards.
We admit that the people of Breaux
Bridge or any other part of the parish
have right to discuss parish matters,
but they have no right TO call upon the
people to vote and revOte upon the court
house matter whenever a few interested
parties will see fit to do so.
When our friend speaks of removing
the seat of justice to more central
point of the parish; if he means to say
Breaux Bridge is that point, he is certain
ly ignorant Of the geography of the par
ish. Breaux Bridge i: neither the geo
graphical nor the populous centre of
this parish.
The Union also says ''this move was
not made with view of an immediate
removal of the court house, but only rs
a precautionary and cOnciliatOry mea-
sure" Well, we judge the best precan-
measure which can be taken is to
put our prisoners and records in safety.
Our friends above are exerting them
selves to secure the impossible. They
know this to be SO, but they are cOura-
geous, and want to exhaust their every
means before they let the matter 60 to
its eternal sleep.
You have traced the line of dissensiOn
gentlemen, and the general talk is now
the lower part of the parish against the
upper part, or st. Martin against Brcaux
Bridge. What will be the political re-
suit of the disunion of the parish, we
cannot say, but it will certainly not be
in favor of the persons who agitate this
move.

The thought has struck us since
the destruction of our friend DR..
VIM. G. Kibbe's home, and the
generosity of our people to rebuild
it, why not form a mutual fire as
surance society for each town?
For instance, let all the house,
holders Of Abbeville unite in an
organization in which they obli-
gate themselves to make good the
loss of any member from fire. Of
ficers could be elected and small
monthly fee be paid to cover ex-
penses, and when a fire occurs
levy an assessment sufficient to
cover the loss. In this way the
burden would fall on all; and who
knows when he see his all disap-
pear in smoke and ashes? s?-Meri-
