The most remarkable accident to a
thoroughbred ever chronicled occurred at

cordia was out for exercise with Cpound
boy upon her back she bolted and ran
away Near the stable gate she struck
the fence and rail IS feet long and in
ches thick cut away the right shoulder,
passed through the abdomen and came out
under the left hip The whole sixteen feet
of rail passed through her She walked 20
feet and then dropped dead. The boy was
not hurt.
This truth is manilest-a gentle wife
is still the sterling comfort of mans life;
To fools "a torment, but n lasting boon
To those who wisely keep their honey

Poison Ivy.

Correspondents Of The Country Gentle
man recommend remedies for ivy poison
ing as follows:
have read in your paper several articles
in relation to the cure of poisoning by ivy
The simplest and safest remedy is sulphte
of soda. Dissolve five cents worth in half
pint of water aud apply as a linament.
One application at night on going to bed
is enough generally for the cure of the
worst cases. | have used it myself, and
know where it has afforded great relief in
two other cases. 1t is harmless in every
way.-N. L. II. DHceHtOrR, " j.
There is an antidote which grows near
wherever You find the ivy which is ia
miliar to every one Touch-me not, or
Celandine, is sure remedy. Rub the
juice of leaves and stalks on the parts af-
fected The dried leaves are used for tea
in kidney and liver troubles-C. s. H.
'CheadHgo Co. ". y.
Having several times read articles in
your paper about poison ivy, | will tell my
experience with the hope of relieving
some fellow sufferer from the same cause.
At the first attack l applied everything
in succession that was recommended, or
that | ever heard of being used, but it
lasted three weeks and spread over my
body. The next time, when | knew | had
been exposed, | washed hands and face
with soap, then bathed them with sweet
spirits of nitre; it showed a very little on
one hand. The third third time the nitre
did not help; then ! acted according to
my own ideas of curing it | bathed
through the day freely with witch hazel
and at night bound up with yaseline, each
morning washing with soap before using
the witch-hazel; took IA small teaspoonful
of salts for several mornings 1t healed
very soon 1t is better to keep it from the
air.. e. n, Red Ho0k, " y

lost a leg on the railroad. If Veon should

NOTE AND CONTENT.

The Vermont Press Association
take their outing this year to Sara
mac lake in the Adirondacks, Aug. IS.
A New York lady wrote a poem
last week and then committed sui
eide This should have a discourag-
ing effect upon incipient poets.
A Rochester man caught $50 worth
of trout in Pittsfeld last week. His
fish were less than six inches in
length, and he paid So apiece for
what the ST. Adams Messenger fun
ny man calls "short-hauP' trout.
If North Dakota, as seems likely,
try the experiment of a single legisla-
tive chamber, the new state will be
but following the plan of Jefferson,
who stood out stoutly for this idea
when the Constitution was framed.
Mt. Washington has been measured
once more, and Prof. Hazen of the
signal service finds that it is just
$500 feet above mean low tide. This
is seven feet higher than previous
measurements, but the last survey is
probably the most accurate. The
June and July weather has been too
hot for the lingering traces of winter
upon this mountain, and the famous
snow arch has melted, while the
snow in Tuckerman'S rayine has al
most entirely disappeared

DEFEATED JUSTICE.

The acquittal of the New York
doodle" alderman, McQuade, on
Friday is no surprise to those who
have watched the case since its first
trial in 1886. Then the jury stood
II for conviction and one for acquit-
tai At the second trial McOuade
was convicted and sent to prison.
After remaining there IS months, he
was granted new trial, which has
resulted in setting him free. This
will probably end the doodle" trials
and a speedy return of the Canadian
contingent may now be expected 1t
was claimed when Fellows was elect
ed district attorney of New York
that his election was in the interests
of the boOdlers, and it seems now
that these predictions have been YER
flied. The collapse of the prosecution
in McQuade's case was complete. 1t
is the more notable for the reason
that three years ago McQuade was
ready to plead guilty if assured of
light punishment, and this arrange
ment fell through only because his
counsel insisted that the punishment
should be only fine without impris-
onment. Only two convictions of
the crowd have been had, Jaehne
and O'Neil, and the New York Trib-
une expects that they will soon be
pardoned out from the penitentiary
bv democratic governor.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.

A year ago granulated sugar sold
at 612 cents a pound while today it
is quoted at 1912 cents. According
to the New York Herald the sugar
trust has stored 100000 barrels of
refined sugar in Brooklyn and there
is every reason to believe that the
price of sugar will keep at a high
figure for some time to come. Yer
mont maple sugar is quoted at seven
cents pound and the farmers are
not as active as the buyers. There
is no reason why good maple sugar
should not be worth about as much
as granulated, and farmers should
hold their product for higher prices.
Good maple sugar is always in de
mand and farmers should have fair
price for it.

COUNTING THE DoUeHNUrs.

The Montpelier Waterman of this
week says that from March 9 to June
II sixteen bills of costs were paid in
ST. Johnsbury for drunkenness and
two for the sale of liquor, and adds
by way of a clincher:-
THE facts with respect to ST.
Johnsbury seem to be that, while
there is but little liquor sold there in
places of business, there is large
quantity sold in bottles from the
pocket, and any amount brought in
from other places"
Probably the above are facts. If
so, what do they show? Simply that
St. Johnsbury is endeavoring to en-
force the law. Is there any stigma
attending such a course?
Some 40 years ago when the late
John G. SAKE, poet and editor, was
publishing the Burlington Sentinel,
an editor in a neighboring county
published the statement that the
Burlington jail had 5 inmates while
the jail in their town was without a
solitary boarder, and used the fact
as an illustration of the superior
morality existing in the latter sec
ton. Editor SAKE briefly but very
forcibly replied that the difference be
tween Burlington and Bennington
was simply this, Burlington confined
its rascals in jail while Bennington
left them their liberty.
The moral of this little bit of histo-
nv is in it's application.

Prohibition Not Wanted.

The overthrow of prohibition is a
great gain but we can never hope to
escape from con6scation, persecution
and Misrepresentation until the peo-
pie learn that there can be no pro-
gressive temperance reform save
through system of excise laws
which is essentially just, which pre-
scribes character as the sole test of
fitness for license, and which fixes
the license fee at figure in no sense
prohibitive. Such system, in brief,
as will weed out the vicious and I'M
principled and will distinctly encour-
age the honest and the worthy in
well-doing.- [Bonfort's Wine and

TANNER ONCE MORE.

Commissioner Tanner is given
much more space in our paper this
week than he really deserves because
he has so fagrantly abused his office
that even the republican journals are
crying a halt Under his lavish and
loose management a crowd of we'll
salaried employees in the pension
office have Just rerated themselves
and given banquets to each other
out of the proceeds. How do the
friends of good government like such
a scandal as this? DIR. Mcmillan
has brought Tanners recklessness to
the attention of the President and
Secretary Noble by showing them a
calculation proving that if Tanners
system of rerating should be applied
to all present and pending pensions
it would demand from the treasury
a sum equal to the present national
debt. Fortunately for our country's
credit DR.. Mcmillan and Secretary
Noble are now running the Office and
Tanner is practically deposed. Presi-
dent Harrison is afraid of the politi-
cal influence of the Grand Army and
dares not ask for Tanners resigna-
ton, but Secretary Noble is to APP
point commission to investigate all
Tanners doings since he became
commissioner of pensions, and report
fully upon them. This report, if i'm
partially made and officially publish
ed, must compel even Tanners resig-
nation 1t will probably be doctor
ed" by the friends of this national
spendthrift and he will stay in Office

Perhaps there has been no more
