THE Brattleboro Reformer has the
following: 1.-THE Selectmen have this
week completed their measurement of
the highways in town in compliance
with the law of the late Legislature re-
quiring it for the apportiSnment of the
5 per cent. State highway tax. 1t shows
21 miles and p rods of road in the vii
lage, and outside of the village 81 miles
and 215 rods, besides two short roads es-
timated at about miles. Total, about
IS miles. 1t is just miles and 25 rods
from the village limits to the Marlboro
line, 81 miles from Main street bridge to
the Guiliford line, and one mile from
Crosby block to West River bridge. In
the measuring Selectman Boyden has
within week been over snow drifts
two or three feet high. The town will
contribute about $2500 to the State by
way of this tax and get back about $1,000
In all, including the $4,000 especially ap-
propriated for macadam roads, the town
will have about $4,000 to devote to
highways this year"
CIRCULAR, No. 2, recently issued by
Commander Doty, of the Vermont G. A
R., states: The 9th National Encamp-
ment Grand Army of the Republica
will be held in indianapolis, Indiana,
the first week in September next. They
are making great preparations to enter
tain us. TO redeem my pledge made at
Rutland, "That Vermont should take no
backward step this year." and in order
to keep intact the few dollars we have
in the treasury, this appeal is made; to
raise money to defray the expenses of
the Sherman Military band to accom-
pany the Department of Vermont to the
Encampment. They agree to 60 for
their expenses. We need to raise about
500. If every G.. A. R. post in the State
would give tritle over &c. or if every
comrade would give 10 cents we should
have sufficient. Comrades and friends,
a trifle from you will add much to the
appearance of Vermont's contingent to
the Eucampment and pleasure to those
who attend. Make your remittances to
Assistant Quartermaster General Frank
Kenfeld, Morrisville, Vt. Acknowl-
edgement of the funds received will be
made in general orders. If more than
enough is contributed it shall be set
aside as the musical fund to be used at
future Encampments. Make your re-
mittances as soon as possible so we may
know what to depend upon"

APACHE ARROW POISON.

We are indebted to L. B. Hawks, re-
Gently in the Government Indian service
in Arizona, for description of the man
ner in which some of the braves in the
Apache region prepare their deadly ar
rows. Although the Apaches have had
little or no use for their poisoned weap-
ons for years, still they, because of a
tribal instinct, each summer go through
a preparation of their arrow tips as care
fully and methodically as though an old
time war were at hand.
This work on the arrows is one piece
of labor that the Indian brave will not
leave to the squaws. He gathers a doz-
en- or more rattlesnake heads and puts
them in a spherical earthen vessel.
With these he puts half pint OF a
species of large red ant that is found in
many parts of Arizona. The bite of this
ant is more poisonous than that of a bee.
Upon these he pours bit of water, and
then seals up with moist earth the lid of
this vessel He then digs hole two feet
deep into the ground, in which he builds
a roaring fire and puts in some stones
When the interior of the hole and the
stones are red hot he makes a place in
the bottom for the earthen vessel and
puts it in. About it and upon it he puts
the Goals and hot stones and upon t. g
top he builds fierce fire and keeps it up
for "a hours. Then he digs out his yes
sci, and standing off with long pole, he
oisengages the top and let's the fume
escape. The Indian insists that if the
fume should come in his face they would
kill him. The mass left at the bottom of
the vessel is dark brown paste.
To test the efficacy of his concoction
Mr.. Hawks has seen an Indian with his
hunting knife make a cut in his leg, just
below the knee, and let the blood run
down to his ankle. Then taking stick
he dipped it into the poison and touched
the descending blood at the ankle. 1t
Immediately began to sizzle, as if it were
cooking the blood, and the poison fol-
