A Romantic Yarn.

A most romantic yarn is telegraph
ed to New York newspaper from
Mexico. 1t is related that religeuse
in a convent in the City of Mexico
several weeks ago discovered an old
document stating that s3,000,000 in
gold was buried sat the time of the
war with the French" by the Lady
Superior of the convent, and telling
where to dig for the treasure. The
priests accordingly were hard at work
digging it up, when President Diaz
heard about it, and, as the bank pres
ident in Mark Twain's story told lit
tie Stephen Girard that the pins
which he was picking up belonged to
the bank and he must not steal them,
so this conscientious executive set his
own men at work, turned up the 49,
900, 900 and salted it away in the ma
tional treasury. 1t would seem to lie
almost time to look in Wall street for
an issue of Mexican national bonds.

"In regard to the low, mean, in
significant insinuations made in the
SITTER last week that perhaps l might
be bought by the Brattleboro politi-
clans" etc."
Now here is just what the SITTER
said, in concluding an article upon
the removal of the county buildings !:
"It then, very clearly, becomes the
duty of the northern towns to send to
the legislature men of tried ability and
who cannot be influenced by Brattle-
boro's governor and lawyers.
Wonder if the Windham, Jamaica,
Wardsboro and Stratton nominees are
mad too because the SITTER said they
could be bought !?

The state board of health has is
sued cholera circular from which we
make the following extract:
Cholera is preventable. Cleanli-
ness is the great safeguard. Every
village and neighborhood should be
watchful of its streets and public
places. All filth should be removed
from dwellings and their vicinity.
Manufacturing establishments, ,slaugh-
ter-houses, cheese-factories and tene-
ment houses should be watched and
kept clean and wholesome. Drains,
cess-pools and farm-yards should be
cleaned often and disinfected. The
closets, sewers and alleys in and about
public buildings, hotels, schools and
places of business should be watched
continually. Sources of public wa
ter-supply should be carefully guard
ed.
Be temperate in eating and drink
ing; avoid all excesses. Guard a
gainst anxiety of mind, overwork and
all irregularities of life. Battle fire.
quently, eat well-cooked food, and
drink only boiled water or milk. In
the presence of the disease eat or
drink nothing that can in any way
have been contaminated by the sick.
Food by which the disease-germs are
readily carried-such as fruit, vege-
tables, milk and water-should be
only taken after thorough cooking or
boiling. Be ESPECIALLY CAREFUL OF
MILK AND WATER. Attendants and
those necessarily in the house of the
sick should not touch with unwashed
hands food, drink, eating or drinking
utensils, cigars, pipes or anything
that will be put into the mouth.
