Lost in the Mountains.

The Rutland Herald tells of the adven-
ture of resident of this place recently who
was lost on Mt. Killington. 1t says:
Fred Mayo of Bellows Falls arrived in
this city from Killington peak, where he
spent Sunday night, and gives an ex-
perience of getting lost in the forests. He,
in company with his two brothers, went to
Bridgewater Saturday, and made the ascent
of the mountain from the east side. Sun
day morning Mr.. Mayo's two brothers re-
turned the way they made the ascent,
while he attempted to strike the Wood
stock stage road, and catch the stage for
Rutland. Mr.. Mayo had not been in the
forest long when he became so bewildered
that he could not tell east from west. The
more he wandered the more mixed up he
became, until finally he decided to follow a
small brook. During his rambles Mr..
Mayo discovered two fine bucks. Late in
the afternoon, when nearly ready to drop
from exhaustion, the traveller came out of
the woods in sight of Senator Proctor's
club house on Pico pond. The distance
between that point and the peak is about
four miles, but Mr.. Mayo had travelled
three times that distance by his circuitous
course. From the club house Mr.. Mayo
walked to this city and took the sleeper for

Leprosy and a New Cure.

The discovery recently of leper wan
dering homeless in the streets of Paris has
been followed by the announcement that
fully 100 sufferers from the loathsome dis
ease are at large among the poor of the
French capital.
Coupled with this news comes the some
what reassuring statement to the Academy
Of Science by DR.. Bouffe that he had sue
ceeded in curing severe cases of leprosy.
He had been struck with the results
obtained by graduated organic injections
in cases of eczema and psoriasis. The
doctor sought to modify the condition Of
the nervous system by Strengthening with
out exciting it, and soon noted the correct
ness of his conception.
He also studied, by means of new
technical process, the condition of the
blood Of leprous patients and succeeded in
demonstrating the presence of bacillus OF
leprosy which had never before been dis
covered elsewhere than in leprous tubercles.

Windsor Couaty Court.
MAY TERM 1896.

AT the conclusion OF our last report the
case OF Townsend VS.. Tatro was on trial.
This was ably argued by j. G. Sargent
and Fred G. Southgate for plaintiff and by
5. r. Emery and Frank A. Walker tor the
defendant, AS the issues were made up
there was no attempt to sustain any claim
that the assault was in self defence or in
defence of the property of defendant but
that ne did not assault the plaintiff at air
and that the injuries to plaintiff were the
result of falling among some bushes and
rocks. Judge Tyler delivered an able
and impartial charge, stating clearly the
law applicable to the facts as claimed under
the testimony of the respective parties.
verdict for plaintiff damages $50.
Sabin Marcott of Windsor on plea of
guilty of burglary and larceny was SEN
fenced to three months in the house of cor
rection. This will be the fourth time that
ne has been incarcerated in that institution.
His intellect is is of rather low order.

Fourth Of July Notes.

Local policemen were busy in preserving
property.
The night of the third was happy one
for the boyso
An improvement over last year was no.
ticed in the shortness of the bell-ringing.
The young people of the Baptist church
enjoyed basket picnic at Warren's pond.
A large number Of the people celebrated
either at Chester or Claremont, many driv-
ing from here to the former place.
1t is reported the Fall Mountain Paper
company is short two barrels of rosin and
two wheelbarrows.
Three young men rose at 2 o'clock and
climbed the mountain, bringing back as a
result OF their dark journey about 700 pond
lilies.
There were 80 that went from this place
on the excursion to Lake Walden 40 Of
these had to 60 on late train, as the B.
& M. train would not wait for them.
A boy and girl dressed like little old
man and woman created much amusement
on Atkinson street. An organette was
played from door to door and some stray
pennies found their way into the hands Of
the travelling musicians.
There is general impression that the
Fourth was quiet day but the presence in
the square of red paper, rocket sticks, pea
nut shucks and the remains of bonfire
showed that the preceding night at least
was celebrated in the true American hilari-
Gus way.
One of our prominent business men dis
covered new method of firing cannon
crackers the Fourth. A barrel was
brought out into the street, the fire cracker
ignited and instead OF combining the same,
the result was a general explosion and any
amount of debris; the work of picking up
the same hardly compensated for the fun.
| When the new athletic track is an as
sumed reality, Bellows Falls ought to be
in the front ranks for grand celebration.
Let's hope the year of 1897 may see a
grand coaching parade, races and other
events never before equalled here, bring
ing people to our village for their ice cream
and pink lemonade instead of sending them
to neighboring towns.

Working the Farmer Racket.

Fx-Gov. Boies always enters his house
by the kitchen door, so the newspapers
inform an admiring country. R. P. Bland
goes ex-Gov. Boies one better, and receives
the interviewers in his (Bland's) working
clothes. Working the farmer racket"
as the western phrase runs, is something
that requires considerable degree of eau
ton and discretion. Instances are on
record showing where it has been unsuc-
cessful through lack of skill.
They tell in the west of politician who,
after reciting at length his agricultural
autobiography at mass meeting of
horny -handed sons Of toll" concluded
with 'Why, gentlemen, | was raised
between two rows of corn" The effect
would have been all that could be desired
if sleepy-looking person, in blue cotton
shirt and overalls, had not reused himself
just then and blurted out, "A squash, by
thunder" -Boston Advertiser.

The feature of the game on the Brattle-
boro side was the pitching of Young.
Onsour side Shepard did good work in
the box while Hoban on the second COW
cred himself with glory. The batting of
Moulton was also deserving Of mention.
Only six hits were made Of Shepard and he
struck out 10 men. Young struck out -
men. 1t was great game from start to
finish. The makeup of the team at Brat
tleboro was as follows: Brattleboro-
Ware, c; Perry, IF; Waite, 1b; Young,

The first game Of the season on the new
ground near the iron bridge on Westmin-

in clearing up the grounds and putting them
in shape, and our people should give them
rousing send off when the game is played.
Due notice will be given in the TIMES.

Base Ball.

The Bellows Falls Baseball club played
two rafting good games the Fourth and de-
served to have won both. The first was at
Keene with the local club there and was
called at the end OF the seventh inning to
enable the boys to get to Brattleboro on
the noon train. The score stood 8 to 10
in favor of Keene. The latter got in their
work in the first innings, while our boys
had got onto their pitcher in great shape
and had they played out the game would
have won hands down. The feature of
this game was the phenomenal catch of
left fielder Chandler, who accepted an al
most impossible chance.
The Brattleboro game in the afternoon
was the hottest and most interesting game
of the season hereabouts, and no one could
tell who would win till the last man was
out in the last inning.
The Brattleboro nine was strengthened
by Chase from Amherst, Maynard of Will
liams and Young, the famous lett hand
pitcher Of Cornell University, who has shut
out some of the crack college clubs. The
oooro ,voS nc follows.

DrOuth Broken.

The extreme drouth that has prevailed
through all this section of the country for
long time, was broken by a good rain
Saturday night and showers Sunday and
since. While this part of the state has
suffered severely, we know nothing what it
is to be real dry, as it has been in the CEN
trail and northern parts of Vermont. Along
the line of the Wells River railroad the
pastures have been nearly ruined. They
had become SO parched that fires ran over
hundreds of acres of pasture and meadow
land. Crops are almost total failure in
that section.

ANAHEIM,
Disgraceful Attempts to Interrupt a
Bryan Silver Meeting.

ANAHEIM, Oct. 25.-The free silver
people had speaking from the Silver
league platform yesterday evening. F.
O. Daniel, candidate for superior Judge
on the Democratic and Populist tickets,
made a short address, after which the
speaker of the evening, Hon. D. M. Ba-
ker of Santa Ana, was introduced and
made very able speech in the interest
of w. j. Bryan and free silver.
During Mr.. Daniels talk three young
men secured large cowbells and getting
on their bicycles came down Los Angeles
street and turned the corner to go down
Center street ,rattling the bells as they
went. Just as they made the turn at
the corner, City Marshal Steadman in
tercepted the one in the rear and he was
taken to the power house but released
on his promise to appear on Monday
morning at 10 o'clock. The other two
are known and will probably be required
10 add their ,nites t<ward replenishing
the city's exchequer.
Later in the evening. while Mr. Baker
was speaking, eggs were thrown from
different directions, some of them strik-
ing parties in the audience. The egg
throwers are not known, but if found out
will be prosecuted.
This was one of the most disgrcceful
affairs that our quiet city has known.

At the Theosophical headquarters, 525

to good audience last night on the sub

The lecturer said that taking man as
a duality we have to recognize that the
spirit and the flesh are ever at war. The
great object of the devotee is to raise
the lower self by means of the higher.
This is to be done by the realization of
the universal spirit in each one of us,
and the concentration of the mind on the
supreme, coupled with the utmost pur-
ity and unselfishness. This discipline
gradually builds up the inner thought
