from Burlington, returning to Mont
pelier, collided with north bound

was two persons were killed and nine
injured. The killed are James Cross

Discovering Hidden Money.

Charles w. Duntz lives on the Land
ing road near the Halfway House.
Tuesday morning while his wife was
engaged in cleaning portrait that had
been in their possession more than a
quarter of a century, she accidentally
broke through a cover on the back and
saw underneath it piece of paper. She
pulled it out and found that it was an
old two dollar bill. She called her sons
attention to it, and the lad took the
cover off. Underneath it they found
two $500 bills, issued by bank in Mas
sachusetts-one in 1856, the other in
1861.
During the day Mr.. Duntz took the
bills to the Union bank and learned that
the bank of issuance was still in exist
ence, and that the bills were probably
genuine and worth their face value.
Mr.. Reynolds, teller of the bank, COM
municated with the Massachusetts, bank
people and learned that it had $500 bills
of the old state issue still out and was
ready to redeem them if they were gen.
uine.
About twenty-eight years ago this
picture was sent to Mr.. Duntz by q
wealthy relative, who requested that it
should be carefully kept in the family,
the portrait being that of a daughter
who is still living. Mr.. Duntz thinks
that the donor placed the money where
it was found, expecting that it would
be discovered some day when it would
be of some real benefit to the finder.
She was very peculiar in her ways at
all times. s.-Kinderho Rough Notes.

PRICE THREE CENTS.
The Canadian Question.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-One thing
demonstrated beyond doubt by the
latest Canadian correspondence is
that this country does not intend to
be trifled with by Canada. The gen.
eral comment on the letter written by
Secretary of State Foster is that it
demands nothing more than our treaty
with Canada should insure.
1t is regarded as not improbabl e
that Canada will not hesitate to vio-
late any or all of her treaty obliga-
tions to the United States, and there
is very clear understanding that
this will result in a cutting off of all
the privileges Canadians enjoy by the
generosity of this country.
The St. Lawrence may be closed
against American vessels and any
burden that is possible may be i'm
posed upon American commerce with
Canada by Canadian action, but the
injury that can be done us in this way
is regarded at Washington as slight
compared to the retaliatory measures
which may be adopted by the state
lis not impossible that
at no remote period the retaliation by
this country will be extended to the
transportation of goods in bond across
this country if Canada maintains her
present attitude.

Reducing Bones for Fertilizer.

A simple plan for dissolving bones
that accumulate about the farm, with
out the use of acid, is as follows: Crush
the bones as thoroughly as possible, and
provide barrel of fresh burned lime
and three barrels of strong, hard wood
ashes for every barrel of crushed bone.
Use as base of mixing hearth tight
floor or level layer of loamy soil about
six inches thick. Upon this spread a
barrel Of ashes in similar layer: then,
in thinner layer, half barrel of bone;
scatter through the bone, to fill the
space, and spread upon it half barrel
of lime, pulverized, but not slalGed. On
this spread second barrel of ashes
Wet this pile gradually with q sprink-
ler, using about ten gallons of water,
or enough to moisten all, but have none
run out. Add in like manner half
barrel of bone, half barrel of lime, a
barrel of ashes and ten gallons more of
water. Over all scatter about one bushel
of land plaster, and cover the entire pile
with dry loan. Examine the pile once
q week if needed and add water to keep
all moist, but not wet. In four or five
weeks shovel over and thoroughly mix,
moisten and pile again, cover with soil
and little more plaster, and leave two
two or three weeks longer. If pieces of
bone then remain undecomposed, sift
them out, use in next compost, or add
more quicklime and ashes to give further
time.-Maryland Agricultural College.

Where the Fashions Come From,

Fashion is called ''fckle jade
and yet nearly every style is designed
with some special objectin view. Often
the manufacturer has created some new
material which he intends to place be-
fore the merchant; to make the best i'm
preston possible he has samples of the
new material placed with some of the
best modists whose special designers
will study the goods, its color and text
ure, and its combinations with other
colors and materials. While expert
menting with the material they create
some new style to attract attention;
these designs are reproduced in colored
plates and sent to all prominent dealers
to give them an idea of the value Of
the new material. If these styles are
liked they become the fashion. If you
wish to keep up to the styles we advise
YOU you to subscribe for La Mode dc
Paris, $3.50 per year, or Paris Album
of Fashion, $3.50 per year. These
are the most artictic fashion journal.
published. La Couturiere is a fine
home journal for $500 per year anC
La Mode is only s1.50 per year.

That Corn Scrape.
Saxtons River, VT, Aug, 81.
Editor LoDdondey,u .Sifer.

oaNtons klVer, W., Aug. 81.
Editor Londonderry SITTER:
| noticed in your last issue al
item from West Windham, stating
that a party from Saxton River went
through there Friday, the 10th, and
stole corn etc., that they had found
out their names, but were ashamed
to have them published. Now being
one of the party and as your cores
pondent terms me thief | wish to
explain matters. l am not ashamed
to mention the names of the accused
or the disgruntled party whose loss is
so great.
Fred c. Rand and wife, Mr.. Will
liams and wife, A. Il. Pierce and
wife, as stated, started with canvas
and lunch for Hamilton Falls, when
going through Wihdham it was de-
cided that corn roast would be in
order. We were on look out for
some corn, but as Windham is SO
near the north pole we did not see any
large enough until we came to
Agustus buttons field beyond his
house. We made halt. Mrs. Rand
said it will not be necessary to go
back to buy it as they have large
field, and he is an own cousin of
mine and has been entertained by our
family many times. AS we were
about to leave Mrs. Dutton appeared
in the distance with loud threats of
sending policeman after us. Ha,
ha ! Just think what a sight a real
live policeman would be to the good
woman. We did not see the police
but she did succeed in sending Agus-
tus and the boys accompanied by half
the neighborhood, each armed with
an umbrella, in pursuit of the thieves.
They found US with little trouble at
Mrs. Hamilton's, where we were gen.
erously entertained. They made a
short visit saying nothing about corn
and he and his several policeman took
a sneak.
Now good corn for table use has
been selling here at retail for II cents
a dozen ears. We took eleven ears.
We have sent him a check for II
cents. So we feel that we owe him
nothing. On our return the Mrs.
blew some terrible blasts on a tin
horn for our benefit. AS it was load
ed with gas instead of powder it did
us no harm. The correspondent
makes mistake when he says l ran
in front of horses OF IN any other way
tried to hide. When we go for an
outing we 60 for good time, but al
ways pay for what we have and use
people with due respect. Now in
justice to our party and the eleven
cent man and his wife we think
this explanation just.
Yours very Respt.

HARVESTING ONIONS.
Pulling, Subsequent Handling, Market
ing and Storing.

Pulling, Subsequent Handling. Market
ing and Storing.
In report of farmers meeting,
taken for The Farmers Review, occurs
the following:
AS the onion develops and the crop
begins to mature, the tops turn yellow
and shrivel up near the bulb, and fall
over This usually occurs about the
last of August or the early part of Sep
tember. When the majority have fallen
over the crop is ripe and should be har-
vested Immediately. If the seeding was
late and the weather is wet in the fall,
the onions may not ripen at all; hence
the great necessity of early seeding.
The necks of the onions are sometimes
bent over to hasten the ripening process
by checking the flow of sap to the tops.
This may be done by light hand roller.
The pulling of the crop should not be
delayed after the onions are ripe, for if
the weather should become wet sec
ondary growth of the bulbs may take
place, which will seriously injure the
crop. The pulling may be done by
hand, and more easily and quickly, and
perhaps as well, by common garden
rake. The onions may be simply lifted
from the ground, and left to dry where
they grow, or, as is the usual practice,
two or three or more rows may be
thrown into one wide window. By using
the rake all this can be done without
stopping.
The drying should continue until the
onions are hard and firm, perhaps two
weeks; then they should be gathered.
Gather with the tops on, using them as
handles. Handle carefully; all bruises
are apt to cause rot. Much handling
and bruising are saved by gathering and
hauling in large sacks. Pile the onions
on the floor of a dry but open and well
ventilated building, and not over two or
three or four feet deep. Here they may
be left as long as warm weather lasts,
and the tops may be pulled off at leisure
or when the onions are needed for mar
ket. In topping, the small onions are
carefully sorted out and sold as pickle
onions.
The price of onions varies greatly.
From September to March prices may
range from two to six dollars per bar
rel. The general truth is that those
brought latest to market, being kept till
near spring, bring the the best prices.
If it is desired to keep the crop for a
winter market it should be stored in
cool, dry place, out of danger of severe
frosts, in bulk, in shallow, slat bottomed
bins not over two feet in depth.

This is the cry now Of the party bosses
and little whippers-in. They cant give
a single reason why anyone should vote
for Fuller, unless they lie like the old

but they know that there are many
who will not believe them, so they raise
this cry. Luckily most people know
that we vote for President in Novem-

Lice on Fowls.

Body lice on fowls are hard to destroy
and must be kept down Systematically.
Fanciers' Monthly says no single prep
aration will entirely exterminate them
and advises the following:
Provide birds with good dust bath in
which tobacco dust, ashes, sulphur, ETC.,
have been mixed. Occasionally give
them thorough powdering with
buhach. The main point is to keep the
roosts, nest boxes and house entirely
free from vermin. and if then given a
good dust bath the fowls will keep
themselves comparatively free from lice.
Foc lice on the heads of the chickens
powder them well with tobacco dust,
buhach or any good insect powder.
Some breeders use oil or grease, but we
consider such a remedy worse than the
disease-a dry powder is the only thing
that should be applied to very small
chickens. Large gray lice come from
the hens. If you once rid the chickens
of such verInin and thereafter pay
proper attention to the coops you will
experience no further trouble from that
source.
