On Tuesday morning a serious acci-
dent, that may result fatally, occurred
at North SALISBURY. Albert Barney
was stepping over the carriage in front
of saw in portable saw-mill and fell.
His left arm struck the saw which cut
out some two inches of the lower bone
below thu elbow and making deep
cash under the left shoulder blade. The
spinal column and ribs were somewhat
bruised, DR.. Phillips of Arlington who
was at the depot at the time, was sum-
moned and dressed the wound Mr..
Barney may live but the chances are
somewhat against his recovery.
We learn that an effort will shortly be
made to stop the illegal sale of hard ci.
der and other liquors that have disgrac
ed North SALISBURY too long. Open
fragrant violations OF the prOhibitory
law, and drunkenness and rowdyism that
follow, have given that part of the town
such bad name that it is high time the
stigma was removed. A few liquor SELL
ers and their drunken allies should not
be suffered to defy, not merely the law
but public opinion that favOrs order,
sobriety and decency.
Wednesday afternoon Albert Barney,
who received such serious injuries
in saw mill-as noted in another part
OF our orrespondence-was as comfort
able as could be expected. He is attend.

The custom of setting apart one day
in each year for tree planting by school
children has become general. 1t was
stated at the American Forestry Con
gress last December that Arbor Day is
now kept in nearly every State OF the
Union and some of the Territories. Ten
States have placed it on their calendars
during the last two year., New Y ork be-
ing of the number. Its first observance
in this State will occur on May 8. When
the proposition to establish such a day
was first considered in our Legislature,
several years ago, some Of the members
argued that the date ought to be in
April. But it was shown that as rule
April would be to early too set out trees
in the northern counties. After free
discussion May was fixed upon as be-
ing not too late for the southern coun-
ties and not too early for the northern.
South Carolina devotes week annually
to tree planting, and it was the sense of
the Fores ry Congress at the meeting
referred to that it would be well if the
rest OF the country would follow her ex-
ample. 1t is doubtful, however, if it
ever will. Busy people can hardly
afford formally to set apart SO much
time for the task in this busy ge.-Ne1c

Various reasons are given for the
withdrawal of the nomination of Eugene
Schuyler for Assistant Secretary OF State
one Of which is that Schuyler was a
mugwump and applied to the Cleveland
administration in 1885 for the same po-
sitlon to which President Harrison re-
Gently nominated him. Senator Ed
munds is credited with making the dis
covery and as a result the nomination
was withdrawn, after Schuyler had been
given the opportunity Of saying he would
not accept.

The Pope Appeals to the Powers

A communication from Rome to the
Catholic NelcS says that one of the most
important encyclicals ever issued is now
in preparation by the Pope, and will be
issued in June next, about the time the
new penal code goes into effect. The
eucyclical, it is asserted, will be an ap-
peal to the European nations for final
settlements OF the question of temporal
power. The occupation Of Rome was
permitted by the European Powers un
der certain conditions. expressed in the
Papal guarantees. These guarantees
have been violated, and the appeal OF
the Pope for a reconsideration must re-
ceive attention. 1t is stated that the
King Of Belgium may be appointed to
decide the dispute.

brightly that her light makes vivid
reflection on the water. According to
astronomers, the year OF Venus is $50
days of rapidly changing climate. Be

and her summer is torrId, while her
winter is glacial. The star which seems

Postmaster General Wanamaker, in q
talk with Representative Dorsey of Ne
braska, said 1.-THE very first work we
intend to do here is in the way of reor-
ganizing the railway and mail service.
That is the dynamo that runs the whole
department. Without efficient service
on the railroads the postoffice business
is a failure. The service is the source
of universal complaint now" Superin-
tendent Bell of the railway mail service
was Friday and Saturday closeted in his
private room at his boarding house look
ing over the applications for the super
intendencles of the various divisions,
with view to making recommendations
early next week. 1t is understood that
the division superintendents and the
special agents will all be selected during
the coming week, after which but one
month will remain before the Civil Ser
vice law will be spread over the railway
mail service, and reorganization will be
stopped, The inefficient Democrats and
Republicans alike will have to go now.
A better postal service is to follow.

The New York Press introduces a
page of comments upon society women
with these words ''These ladies once
upon time, were content to be lovely
and fair to look upon,' to robe them
selves in purple and fine linen, to win
admiration by their charm of manner
and high bred grace. Pretty accom-
plishments they all possessed, but toe
much learning excited awe rather than
admiration. But we have changed all
that, and many OF the prettiest and most
prominent among society women in
Gotham have cultivated their mental
gifts until they now prove formidable,
if agreeable, rivals to their most learned
brothers in both social and professional

of Cornell University, Ithaca, who has
made several examinations Of rock found
in the vicinity of Fairhaven, writes
George H. Harris that the granite from
the Scribner farm is considerable finer
than the New England granite and also
darker in color, and equal to any granite.
Profs. Marsters and Kemp will visit q
portion OF Vermont during the coming
season to better acquaint themselves
with the ores that abound in the many
portions OF Vermont. A vein of "dike"
ore was discovered about two years ago
in the town of Hampton, n. Y, which
has been visited by number of miner
aloglsts. A prominent mineralogists
who has followed this vein has made
the statement that oil could he found in
this vicinity. The probable termination
of the vein is in East Whitehall, IN a
red hematite ore. Examinations which
have been made by scientists prove that
the supply of metallic ore in Vel mont
ls inexhaustible. Manganese ore is
found in South Wallingford and spathic
ore at Plymouth. In the opening of the
spring developments will be made upon
copper and silver veins in the western
portion of Rutland county. There are
