ACCIDENT AT FAIRFIELD Sunday
afternoon Joseph Labounty and his
wife and son were driving across the
track of the st. Johnsburv and Lake
Champlain railroad, at Fairfield sta
ton, when a freight car which pro-
iected over the crossing, caused him
to turn his horse so far to one side
that one runner of the sleigh dropped
off the crossing plank between the
rails. The horse was going quite
rapidly and when the runner struck
the opposite rail, it did so with such
force that both Mr.. Labounty and
his wife were thrown violently out of
the sleigh. The woman, who weighs
200 pounds, had her skull crushed
and the man caught on some sharp
projection which tore ragged wound
from the groin diagonally Up across
the abdomen. They were picked up
unconscious. Both were taken to
the residence of Mr.. Fanton, near by,
and DR.. W. 6. E. Flanders was called.
He cut down to the woman's skull
and raised the depressed or crushed
bone off the brain, when she at once
rallied. and unless Inflammation su-
pervenes, sheis quite likely to recover.
Mr.. Labounty's condition is very
critical, as, from the nature of his
injuries, inflammation of the bowels
is feared.

Vermont Maple Sugar.

HEREAFTER TO HAVE THEIR PRODUCT
STAMPED, estate OF VERMONT"
Congressman Grout has been inter
esting himself further in the interest
of the Vermont sugar makers and
the following correspondence between
him and the commissioners of inter
nal revenue will explain fully the re-
suit of Mr. CIRCUITS effort =
House OF REPRESENTATIVES, U. ST.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 81, 1898.
Hon. John w. Mason. Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Washington, d. c.
DEAR SIR,-My attention has been
called to the fact that all maple
sugar inspected in Vermont for boun-
ty is stamped and goes upon the
market as from the district Of New
Hampshire for the obvious reason
that Vermont constitutes a part of
the New Hampshire collection dis
trict. This destroys the identity of
the Vermont product, in the excel
lence of which the Vermont producer
takes great pride, and which he feels
is of special commercial value to him.
1t has occurred to me that for
sugar bounty purposes Vermont
might be designated as a separate or
| sub-district and the Vermont inspect
ors provided with d stamp which
shall preserve the identity of the Yer
mont maple sugar, and thus save
to the producer all his rights. And
L would respectfully ask, if not i'm
practicable, that this may be done.
Very respectfully yours,
(Signed) WILLIAM W. CIRCUIT.

sentatiVes, Washington, d. c.
SIR have received your letter of
the 3lst ult., in regard to maple
sugar made in Vermont going upon
the market as from the district of
New Hampshire, owing to the fact
that Vermont constitutes a part OF
the New Hamshire collection district.
You say "this destroys the identity
of the Vermont product, in the excel
lence of which the Vermont producer
takes great pride, and which he feels
is of special commercial value to
him, and you suggest that for
sugar bounty purposes Vermont be
designated as a separate or sub-dis-
trict, and the Vermont inspectors
provided with a stamp, which shall
preserve the identity of the Vermont
maple sugar.
l enclose a sample of the label
which will be used by weighers and
pasted on the packages of maple
sugar made in Vermont. Instead OF
District of New Hampshire it will
read estate of Vermont, in the Col
lection District of New Hampshire.
| trust this will answer the purpose
and be satisfactory to the sugar pro-
ducers of your State.
Respectfully yours,

There is hardly anything

prettier to look at than a neat house
newly painted-with good paint.
Poor paint won't stand inspection,
you know, and your friends can tell
the difference between common paints
and the best, the moment they see it.
There is neither harm nor disgrace in
being economical, of course, but it is
false economy to buy common paint.
In the first place it never has a satisfac-
tory appearance, and secondly, it is
not durable. Again, poor paint
won't go half as far as the same
quantity of Chiffon Paints The lat
ter are manufactured with care from
the best materials procurabIe, with
out regard to cost. The aim is to
make the Chiffon Paints universally
known as the best and most relia BILE.
When you buy gallon you get L. s.

than you pay for. Why should you?
