The round of teas and receptions will
set in with vengeance next month.
Among the first will be that given by Mrs.
NJ. P. Jones at her residence on Pine street,
November. They will crowd the after
moons and the early evenings devoted to
them: 1t is observable that this years
teas will be, as a rule, rather earlier than
before. The favorite hours are from four
to six, and when the time set is from five
to seven, in seasons gone by it was notice
able that few people remained after six.
At tea given last season for the introduce
ton of a member OF a popular family,
there was great crush about 6 O'Clock,
though half an hour afterward there were
scarcely handful of people in the drawing
room. Of course the explanation of all
this is simply that the custom of having
dinner at o'clock instead of the old hour
of six, is becoming as much the vogue in
San Francisco as in other large cities, and
people will not remain at tea to the con
fusion of their own household arrange
ments, or it may be the ruin of their
appetites.

At Vernon, Charles S. Johnson's
herd of cattle, 80 in number, which
were examined and placed in quaran-
tine short time ago, were subjected
to the tuberculin test last week by
DR.. Rich of the L. V. M. and ii. NJ.
Arms of the board of agriculture, and
six of the cows were condemned and
slaughtered. All were found to be
infected with tuberculosis, but not in
the advanced stages of the disease.
In two of the cows, the lungs were
found to be badly diseased and por-
lions of the tissue broken down. The
mesenteric glands, intestines, liver,
udder, milk glands, bronchial glands
and lungs of all, except one two-year-
old heifer, showed unmistakable evil
dence of the existence of the disease.
The owner of the cattle infected with
this dread disease, instead of deeming
it misfortune to have his cattle tested
and those infected condemned and
slaughtered, should consider himself
fortunate to have it done by the state
and get small remuneration for
the condemned animals and SO
perhaps avoid the chances of having
it communicated to his family.

work of the United States customs Of

an organized gang of smugglers were

This time the willy Cinnamon were
consigned to rude pine collins with

forged death certificates were safely
shipped from st. John, N. B., to
Vanceboro, Me-, where the supposed
corpses were claimed by one Of the
smugglers. After staying in hiding
for several days, the corpse" attired
as a female, would be spirited away
under cover of night and before morn
ing dawned was safely lodged in eth

CAUGHT NEAR ISLAND POND.
Levasseau Had Committed Horrible
Crime at Berlin, N. III.

SAhhS Nv ASSAiiue
A Frenchman named Levasseau,
who formerly lived at Island Pond,
was arrested near that place last week,
charged with outraging and attempt
ing to murder young girl at Berlin,
N. II. His victim, Marie Dion, is on
ly II years old. Levasseau hired a
livery team at Gorham and drove to
Berlin, where he engaged the girl to
work for his wife. He started out
with her early in the evening and
drove to lonely spot, where he as
saulted her, beating her about the head
with a stone and leaving her appar-
emily dead. The girl partially recov-
cred consciousness during the night
and wandered about the fields, being
found by a farmer the following
morning. She was in a frightful con-
dition and could not tell the story of
the assault. After receiving medical
treatment, she was taken to her home,
where she now lies in a critical condi-
ton. Officers traced Levasscau to
Island Pond. He disappeared from
there, but was captured only few
miles away and taken back to New
Hampshire. When the crime was dis
covered the people Of Berlin were at
fever heat, and had Levasseau then
been thereabouts he would have been
lynched,

A SENSATIONAL CASE,
Which Involves Young Woman Who
Taught School at South
Londonderry.

A sensational case at Fitchburgh,
Mass, involves Miss Adeline Gillette,
an Andover, VT, young woman who
taught school at South Londonderry
several years ago. Miss Gillette bro't
suit for 100000 on the 18th against
Charles S. Hayden, ex-mayor of the
city and its first associate justice OF the
police court, by whom she had been
employed in law Office the past five
years as a typewriter. Judge Hay
den's property was attached, on be-
half of Miss Gillette, in an action of
contract. On the following Monday
another attachment, for $4,000, was
made in answer to suit for alimony
brought in a libel for divorce by
Judge Hayden's wife, Mary e. Hay
den. The curious feature Of the sec
ond suit is that Miss Gillette is named
as correspondent in the divorce libel.
II is alleged that Miss Gillette has been
domiciled for several months at the
fine new Hayden residence, which has
been abandoned by Mrs. Hayden. The
charge is made in the newspapers that
the first suit was brought to put Hay
den's property out Of the reach OF his
wife.

NEARLY ELECTRO UTED.
A Painter Makes Mistake Which
Nearly Proves Fatal,

Joseph Forant, who for some time
past has been painting the poles of the
Consolidated Electric Light company
at Burlington, took hold of two live
wires one afternoon last week near
the Winooski bridge and came near
being electrocuted. He had hold of
wire supporting himself while he was
painting. He supposed the current
was not to be turned on until $3.50, and
instead it was turned on little be-
fore three o'clock. He was held to
the wires by the electricity until Mr..
Nash of the gristmilll gould telephone
the gorge to shut off the power.
Mr.. Forant's hands were fearfully
burned, and he was taken to the hos
pital at once. 1t was thought at first
that both hands would have to be am
putated but it was found to be I'M
necessary,
