Products Obtained from sDarl,s.

Sharks, says writer in the Reyue
SclentLHqHe, furnish quite a number Of
valuable products. Thus. the liver Of the
shark coutains an oil OF a beautiful color
that never becomes tprbid, and that pos
sesses medicinal qualities equal to those
OF cod liver oil. The skin, after beinG
dried, taxes the polish and hardness Of
mother of pearl. It is marbled, and bears
a resemblance 10 fossil coral. Il is used
by jewelers. for the manufacture OF fancy
objects, oy binders for making shagreon.
anu by cabinet makers for POLISHING
wood. The fms are highly priced by the
Chinese, who pickle them and serve
them al the end OF q dinner as a most

Strange Story from MONTPELIER.

About year and a half ago there
came to the 1ttEhange hotel quiet ap-
pearing man 70 registered as George
johnson, Ne York. He had in his
possession 81 hich he gave to the
landlord, tell hg him that he wanted to
board it OUT He apparently had no
business and &hen, his credit at this ho-
tel was exhaust4d lie went elsewhere to
board, doing did jobs around town
wherever he hadan opportunity. About
a week ago he received partial shock
of paralysis at the livery stable of c. w.
Downing, where ne had been allowed to
sleep for some time. 1t coming to the
knowledge of some of the Masonic fra
ternity that ne was brother in need of
help they took charge of him and sent
him to place where he could have prop
er care and treatment. He reluctantly
told one of his brother Masons that he
belonged to lodge in Dover Plains, n.
Y, and that lodge was communicated
with. Sunday morning a member of
that lodge and a daughter of Mr.. John
son appeared in Montpelier and made
known some interesting facts, the like of
which are often found in fiction, but sell
dom in real life. Mr.. johnson had been
living in Montpelier under an assumed
name. His real name is George Hufcut,
and he was for many years one of the
wealthy and influential citizens of Dover
Plains, owning the finest house and best
teams in that town. Through signing
notes for large amounts that he eventu.
ally had to pay, and by the rascality of
business partner, he lost all his prop
erty. This affected his brain and one
morning II months ago he was missing
from his home.
He was traced to New York city, where
a systematic search by police and detec-
tives failed to find him and he was fin
ally given up for dead. The letter sent
last week to Dover Plains regarding him
was the first intimatiOn his friends had
that he was still alive. A wide circle of
| friends were more than Iejoiced to hear
of him as living and brother Mason,
and the daughter of Mr.. Hufcut started
at once for Montpelier with money to
pay all his bills and to take him to Do
yer Plains, where a very warm reception
awaits him. The meeting between the
daughter and the long lost father caused
tears to start from eyes unused to weep
ing. He has nearly recovered from his
shock of paralysis and so new suit of
clothes was purchased for him, and a
shave and hair cut was given him and
Tuesday morning he started for Dover
Plains accompanied by his daughter and
friend where wife who thought him
dead anxiously awaits him. Had he
died from the effects of the shock his
fate would forever have been unknown to
his family. 'Tis pleasant story to tell,
as strange as it is true.

lecting another and then another. All
of the hay on the Johnson farm was

SeWerlng.

AS will be seen by the report, in an
other column, of the special meeting of
the village trustees last evening, a resO-
luton was adopted prohibiting the emp
tying or throwing of any refuse matter
into the river or any of its tributaries,
above the Mill street bridge. We are
pleased with this move, it being in direct
accord with our opinions as expressed in
the last issue.
The enforcement of this ordinance lies
with the Board of Health. The Board
has already begun its operations. No.
tices will be served upon every party
with connections that conflict in any
way with this resolution and it is ex-
pected that they will receive careful at
tention. During the past two years,
over l, 900 notices have been served by
the Board for the abatement of nui-
sances of one kind or another, and in
every case have been obeyed within a
reasonable length of time. In the serv-
ing of these new notices all that is ex-
pected is that they also will be obeyed
within a reasonable time. The cleans
ing of the river is but supplemental to
the sanitary work already performed by
the Board, and as its labors have hereto.
fore been heartily supported by every
good citizen, it is expected that in this
work OF making the village healthy and
attractive it will likewise receive the
same cordial support.
During the present summer with the
long drouth the nuisance has been worse
than ever. In such dry years as the pres.
ent the dangers and discomforts extend
over nearly one-third of the entire year.
Such risks OF pestilence are too danger
Gus to be needlessly endured.

NAL WARNS UP DAVID b.

NAL WARNS UP DAVID B.
A year or two ago the governor of Yer
mont remarked at banquet held in Bos-
ton by Vermont veterans that 1--WE have
a good many hills in Vermont but not a
David b."
Ever since then Mr.. David B. Hill, of
New York, who is relic of Tammany,
and acting in the place of a senator in
Congress, has been watching for an OPP
portunity to get even with the truth tel
Ter from the Green Mountain State and
at last his time has come. In a letter
uphOlding lawlessness in New York City,
and sneering at the founders of the re-
public, this saloon defender makes a con-
temptuOus reference to Gov. Morton as a
Puritan born in Vermont and appar-
emily inheriting the ill-liberal tendencies
and prejudices on the excise question
which characterize the rabid Republi-
cans of that State"
We do not know where Hill was born,
and if we did we should hesitate to put
the place of his nativity to shame by re-
cording the fact; but wherever he was
born it is evident that he needs to be
born again and good many changes
made in his composition in order to
make him a valuable American citizen,
or even a decent one. This slur upon
Vermont and Levi P. Morton will only
dig the hole of oblivion deeper into
which the Tammany saloon defender is
to be consigned when justice gets around
to attend to his case
The State which enables Dave Hill to
sit under the shadows of such men as
Morrill, and Proctor has no occasion to
be troubled at any attempts which Tam.
many's chief makes to smirch her record
and Gov. Morton may well be thankful
that in the record of his illustriOus ca.
reer there appears no Endorsement Of
this bloodless champion of depravity
and corruption.
Meanwhile the open saloon must 90,
and it is hastened in its going by the eff
forts to save it of such men as David B.
