ONE of the numerous summer guests of
the Pavilion, unsolicited, writes the WATCH
MAN the following Montpelier is one Of
the many attractive towns of New England
and, as the capital of the Green Mountain
state, should become increasingly so. 1t is
romantically located among the hills, and
favorable, in many respects as a summer
resort. The State House, built of the white
granite of the Barre .quarries, with the
grounds surrounding IT, is a picture on
which the eye can rest with pleasure. The
post-ofiice, built Of Rutland marble, is a
gem in architecture, and the six Christian
churches add greatly to the attractiveness
of the town. The homes Of the citizens are
models OF style, and are greatly beautihed
by lawns and well-kept grounds. Red
stone the home of Professor and Mrs.
Burgess, may be regarded as the most at
tractive, and the scenery fromlthe location
is commanding and charming. The Gem
etery, a short distance down the Winooski,
is one of the sweetest resting Places after
the cares of life are over, that can be found
anywhere. 1t contains many monuments
of high order, and, throughout the best
of care is taken of it. Nature has done
much for 1t, and there Is an all-pervading
sense of quietness and repose, beftting
the spot. And yet, notwithstanding the
improvements that have come to the town
through the days that are passed, and are
still being made, that portion of State street,
a little below Colonel Jewett's homestead
down to the cemetery grounds, is sadly
neglected. The road is so narrow that
decent sidewalk is out Of the question, and
on both sides rank growth of pestilential
weeds shed their unpleasant odors. The
robin and other singing birds give the place
a wide berth. All This is to be regretted as
it forms part Of the walk to the beautiful spot
referred to, and a near portion of one Of the
leading entrances to the CITY,"

An lice mine" is reported from New
York gulch, Meagher county, Mon. In
early days the gulch turned out e, 00O,-
900 worth of gold, but Of late years it
has peer nearly deserted. Last sumrle
two prospectors uncovered the mouth of
an old shaft and glanced curiously down
It. They saw the ice, which reached up
20 within foul feet and eight inches of
the surface. They considered it curious
and thought what a good place it would
be to keep their meat, butter and other
food from spelling while they were work
ing in the neighborhood. They lowered
their provender into the ice mine with
the best results.
Naturally they told of their find to
other miners. with the result that for "A
radius of three or four miles around .he
miners came to the ice shaft, lowered
the beef and other provisions into the
mine, putting their tag on it, and hoist
ing the rope from time to time as pro-
visions We're needed. 1t is a godsend to
the miners, as it enables them 20 keel
meat fresh in the very hottest weather
The miners are unable to give any solu-
tion to this strange phenomenon. The
formation of the gulch is shale, reddish
IN color and full of assures. 1t is sup
posed that gusts of air from cold ave
may have underground connections wifi
the shaft, and rapid evaporation near
the topmay explain the continued forma
ton of ice there as it is cut away

The foregoing is an excellent sugges.
ton and one that We feel sure will meet
with the hearty approval Of the horse"
men, but there are obstacles in the way
that cannot be removed without money.
and money this year is hard to get. In
order to have a really successful and en-
joyable agricultural and stock show. it
would be necessary to erect at least one
large building for indoor exhibits. and
perhaps additional stables, sheds and
pens. There is 10 use asking farmers or
breeders TO come here TO make an TX.
hibit unless the association can afford
them the opportunity to make that ex-
hibit a credItable one. and as these adj
ditional structures could not be erected
for less than $1,000. it looks as if a bar
rier-at present insurmountable-was
placed in the way of the enterprise pro-
posed by Mr.. Collins. But this is not
necessarily true. If the granger-ranch-
ers and stockbreeders Of the county
would rally TO the financial aid Of the
Custer County Horse Fair and Sales as
sociation. it would require but a few
dollars from each to give the association
enough to make the improvements out
lined above. and with its enlarged scope
of usefulness the associations fall
meeting would Of necessity be a more
popular and more generously ]patronized
event than formerly. and the road 10
prosperity for it opened. The county
fair" is a great institution for a half
grown and still growing community.
The people composing it don't see
enough Of one another, especially in a
ounty so sparsely settled as ours. and
an annual meeting Of two or three days
or longer. Of everybody that could get
away from home. would be alike enjoy
able and beneficial. The foundation for
such an object is now laid in the exist
ence Of the Horse Fair and Sales assocI-
alton. with its ~commodious grounds and
excellent buildings-so far as they GO
and if there should be any desire on the
part Of the farmers and breeders of this
county to associate themselves with the
existing corporation. for the purpose of
an annual county exhibit. we feel quite
confident that the horsemen will cordi-
ally welcome them. and do all in their
power 10 make the enlarged enterprise a
success.

WHAT SAY THE CHANGERS?
MILES CRY. March 33, 1884

MILES CITY, March ID, 1874.
Ed. YELLOWSTONE JOURNAL:
1t has beea suggested by some of our
friends who live in the country that We
hold a live stock and agricultural fair
in connection with our race meeting this
fall. say some tune in the month Of Sep
TENDER. The idea is one that | have
long desired to see carried out. for | be
lieve il would not only be Of great ben
eft and advantage TO Miles City. but
would do much to encourage our farm
ers and stockmen IN their efforts of
making this an agricultural section. We
have already demonstrated the fact of
our ability to produce a varied assert,
meut OF farm products. We should now
foster this undertaking by every means
IN our power. In the giving of premi-
ums. small though they may be. for ex-
cellence and superiority in the various
products of the soil. we show II inter
est in this important industry. besides
creating a desire TO excel in the minds
of all our farmers. The same is true of
live stock. | wish. Mr.. Editor, that you
would invite comment on this PROPOSE
ton. and If 1t seems feasible TO our peo-
pie. let steps be taken at onc to embody
il in our program for our fall race meet
ing. Very truly yours.

Recipe for a Love Potion.
From the Post Express

The examination of John Alexander
Mclean, on a charge of using the mails
with intent to deceive, was begun this
morning before United States Commits
sioner Gilbert. il will be remembered
that an advertisement in a Maine paper
announced that j. Alexander, of 80 East
Main street. Rochester, N Y would. on
the receipt of small sum, send a potion
warranted to secure the love of any young
man or maiden, and that for an additional
recompenSe MIR. Mclean would himself
compound the receipt.
Postal Examiner Coats, who was first
called, stated that he had written under
an assumed name TO ~. Alexander" re-
questing the recipe. When the reply
had come the inspector sent back this ac-
acknowledgement:
Buffalo N. Y, Nov. %, 1892. Alexander.
Rochester, n. Y. Dear Slr:-Your recipe
how to make any one love you received. /
send you b cents for you To NIL out the recipe
and send me as want IL to have the desired
effect. Send by return mail
JOHN CHAPMAN.
q Swan Street, Buffalo.
The inspector went to the printing office
on Exchange street where Mel can was
then employed. When confronted with
the charge the printer admitted that he
had sent the potions through the mail. but
asserted that he had committed no of
fence, as the prescription was harmless.
A part OF McLean'S wares were com
pounded, he said, by a physician at Avon.
The following is the recipe sent by Nc
Lean to his patrons:
Sixty drops tincture of Santal Rub,
sixty drops best cherry brandy, five tea
spoonfuls of burnt graduated sugar
boiled to syrup.
OF this give eight to ten drops in any
( thing you can get the person to take, such
as milk, water, wine, whisky, or anything
fit To drink. You can also give it any
kind of eatables, such as apples, oysters,
sugar, candy, and breads of all kinds.
Postal Inspector RYan's story was sub
stantially the same as that of Mr. Coats
He added that Mclean had said business
was dull, since he was making in addition
TO his earnings at the case only two or
three dollars day. Superintendent of
Delivery Wick testified that during the
weeks before McLean's arrest many hun
dred letters had been sent to his address.
