plctcd arrangements with the farmers for
300 acres of corn for their cannery here,
and 200 acres for the one they proposed
moving to Townsend. They will bring
their labor with them, as il is impossible
to secure sufficient help in this section.
Their capacity on corn Is from 40 TO on
tons per day and the contract price is 81 per
ton; on tomatoes the price offered is 81 per
ton. This enterprise in connection with
those already in operation in this town,
will undoubtedly prove great advantage

people, who have hitherto been compelled
TO go elsewhere to look for employment

persons DESTROYS Of moving here from ad
Joining towns far exceeds the supply.
There is a move on foot to erect number
Of new houses during the coming spring.
The streets Of this town are in a sorry
plight In some places the mud is, by
actual measurement, 10 inches deep, but
now that the new town board has been
formally organized, it is anticipated by the
residents and taxpayers that they, in con-
junction with the board Of trade, may
make some decided efforts toward obviat-
ing this evil, MS it is serious drawback to
the business interests Of the town. which
the latter body is trying so ardently to
encourage.

The following is not meant as sarcasm
but is printed in good faith, at the head
Of its editorial columns, by the New
York Nal md Eapress as something to
crow over:
REPUBLICAN, RECIPROCITY DID IT.
IN 1880 during the eleven months end.
Ing November 31th, the exports from the
United states Of snlted,. picked and cured
beef to Brazil amounted in value e. $50
IN la3l, under Republican reciprocity.
during the corresponding period, Bur ~
ports ut those articles to that country
amounted IN value to 5000
This increase Of s lG5, or 40 per cent
was caused by Republican reciprocity.
At this ratio of increase, we shall soon
be exporting to Brazil sufficient sailed,
picked and cured beef TO stock an
ordinary corner grocery.

Cases are not infrequently reported
in which children, and sometimes grown
persons, are poisoned by the free use of
nutmegs, it not being generally known
that this article of common household
use is really deadly poison. This is
true, in fact, Of most common condi-
ments; but the misuse of these articles,
such as pepper, capsicum, etc, is so OH
noxious to the tast,, except when taken
in very minute quantities, that the con-
sumer is warned in very positive
manner before he has had an opportun-
ity to do himself serious injury. This
is not the case. however, with nutmeg.
This nut, which contains a poisonous
principle OF very teadly character.
may be consumed without inconven-
ience in quantities sufficient to produce
fatal consequences; and it is surpris-
ing, not that death occasionally occurs
from Its use, but that deaths are not
moro frequent. A fatal case has been
recently reported, in which boy of
years fell into a comatose condition
after eating two nutmegs. and died
within twelve hours.
