THERE is a sentiment growing up
in the country that large amount of
fiat, irredeemable paper currency, can
be foated at par and if made legal
tender for debts both public and pri-
vate will make it in a reasonable
quantity,as good as coin. That is the
old Greenbackers doctrine Many
able men now endorse the theory.

DIED-Of love for German girl. the
Hon hIr. T. of Stuttgart; aged 30
last grass.
Mr.. T. was taken suddenly Ill one
afternoon while out feeding his little
gray pony. On returning to the de-
pot he observed a fair German maiden
leading a quadruped to water. He
stole up softly behind the fair one
and slyly stole kiss. Here he grew
weak and faint in the region of the
heart, having meyer experienced any
thing like it before, and therefore on
second attempt failed, wilted and
sank UNCONSCIOUS to the earth Some
of the neighbors observing the per-
Torrance now carried the unconscious
man in and laid him on the bed. AS
we watched by the bedside of the dy-
ing man, hoping to hear his last testi-
mony on earth, we were suddenly
surprised by hearing the final words
uttered in death groans as follows
.''Those dogs. Those internal dogs
Phi kill every one of them"
Mr. T. lies at rest
Beneath shady tree,
While the German girl looks on and laughs.
How happy she must be.
The girl now takes the Bovine beast
= And waters at the pump,
| NOr is she the least bit alarmed

gally surrendered to the Home giving them

for any great expenditure Of intellectual
force. its main object being to keep the
work of the Home before the public in Or
der that persons may know where they can
bestow their supcrfluOus dollars judicious-
w. The circulation is 1900, so YOU can
readily see that the folding and mailing is
not a small matter. The older children
and three of the school teachers will assist
me. however shall not be able to get
out often to see what is going on i'm the

in the Home would sometimes make very
interesting readng-especially when Ia

self therefrom and is brought in in a dying

This is very pleasant home, and the

plenty of good milk. There are at present
about 20 babies in the nursery. and every
visitor wants to see their dormitOTy with it,
rows of cribs, and their dining room with
its low table and tiny chairs. Running
along in front of the nursery windows is a
balcony with high iron railing. where the
little ones are taken for exercise and air
when they cannot get it otherwise. The
school comprises kindergarten, primary

lesson in vocal music is given each day

women and children here. This very morn
ing the Humane society's officer brought a
young woman with three small children to
be cared for till her distant relatives can be
written to for assistance in leaving the city.
The woman's head was tied up and one
eye was dressed in very deep mourning

tomorrow and demand his wife. He will
be told that he must get an order from the

case the telephone will be utilized in giving
him an introduction to the nearest police

things as Humane societies?

BRATTLEBORO.

The marriage of Mr.. George |. Church
i'll of Northampton, Mass, and Miss Nena
B. Newton of this village was quietly cele-
brated on Tuesday evening at the home of
the brides parents on Flat street. Rev. Mr.
Parry performing the ceremony. Only the
immediate relatives were present. The bride
was tastefully attired in dark blue cloth
and velvet suit. Mr.. and Mrs. Churchill
left on the night express for the mort, hand
will soon return to Northampton, where
they will live. The good wishes of many
friends accompany them.
Owing to the failure of our second new
folding machine to arrive we are Obliged to
fold, paste and trim the present edition of
The Phoenix by hand, causing unavoidable
delay. The machine has now been nine
days on the road, and we live in hopes of
better things for next week-or some other
week.
Professional club members are reminded
that the Ladies' night meeting occurs a
week from next Monday night, and that it
will be necessary TO report the number of
guests in advance of the meeting.
BrattlebOro and the surrounding country
have been by no means untouched by the
cold wave which has swept over the entire
northern section of the country East and
West during the present week. On Sun
day welcome rain fell, followed by a
promise of fair summer weather, but
toward night on Monday cold wind be-
gan to blow from the North, increasing al
most to gale, and doing some damage to
shade trees, and an electric light being
blown down on Flat street. Ice formed
during the night, as it did ON both Tues
day and Wednesday nights following. In
various parts of the county the ground has
been frozen enough to form thin crust.
What the effect will be upon the fruit crop
remains to be seen. The strawberry
growers think their plants are uninjured.
Apples and pears not having come into full
bloom opinions vary as to the effect on the
buds. The local peach crop is undoubt-
eddy ruined, Other kinds of vegetation
are not sufficiently advanced to be serious
ly injured, but the young leaves on the
trees have had a very chilly time of it.
There was brief furry of snow on Tues
day, and again on Thursday morning snow
fell for few minutes in the form of coarse
sleet.
The celebrated William Tell overture by
Rossini is to be one of the opening num-
bers of the annual band concert Nav 21st.
Geo. p. Upton, the well-known writer on
musical topics, says of this composition:
with its Alpine repOse, its great storm
picture, the stirring RAM des Vaches' and
the trumpet call to freedom it is one of the
most perfect and beautiful overturesl ever
written" The vocal sOloists will be Mrs
Hubbard and e. H. Miller

THE EARTH TREMBLED.

A slight shock of earthquake was dis
tinctly felt in many parts of the village last
Friday evening. The majority of people
did not notice it, but in several places
buildings were shaken perceptibly, the
tremor usually being noticed by those who
were on the upper floors. At Concord.
Manchester, and other places i'm New
Hampshire it was the most violent earth
quake shock ever experienced, and lasted
20 to 80 seconds, but no damage resulted
At Keene the shock was more noticeable
than in Brattleboro, large brick buildings
being shaken, and reports of slight disturb
ances have been received from different
parts of the county.
