probably no prospect of the general adoption of

"Scorching'' on bicycles is pestilent nui-
sance and should be sternly suppressed. So
many men. women and children are using wheels
in these days that the boulevards. avenues. roads
and paths available for bicycles in New-York

certain hours. "Scorchers' cause much alarm
and do much damage, and they should be pun

How TO PREVENT CRoUP.-Croup is a
terror to young mothers, and to post them
treatment is the object of this item. The
origin of Group is common cold. Children
who are subject to it take cold very easily
and Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon
followed by peculiar rough cough, which
is easily recognized and will never be for
gotten by one who has heard it. The time
to act is when the child first becomes hoarse
If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely
given, all tendency to Group will soon dis
appear. Even after the croupy cough has
developed, it will prevent the attack
There is no danger in giving this remedy
for it contains nothing injurious. For sale

The INFLUENCE OF MEDIcINEs.-The idea
formerly entertained by the average person
was that medicines acted mysteriously; ex-
erting magical kind of power that was not
understood, but, nevertheless, of undoubted
potency. To-day we know that medicines
are only useful in supplying that which de-
fective constitutions lack. Science has come
into the field of medicine, and with science
has come Anglers Petroleum Emulsion, for
the rebuilding OF weak or diseased lungs.

ONE of the most remarkable railway tun-

Atlantic & Ohio railroad, in Scott county
Va. The railroad, apparently, and, in
fact, does enter cave or grotto, and disap-
pears in the heart of the mountain. The
entrance to the cavern is about fifty feet
square. Inside of it the railway runs
through a series OF chambers for about 1000
feet, when it emerges from the other side OF
the mountain This cave-tunnel is all in
limestone. 1t serves not only as natural
railway tunnel, but also as a channel for
a stream known as Stock creek

Obituary.

LAWRENCE. Passed to the higher life
from his home, 2027 Mervine street. Phila-
delpha, Oct. 18TH 1896, Franklin Lawrence,
in the seventy-fourth year OF his age. The
subject Of This sketch was born in Plain6eld,
VT, February 81, 1928 Having received
such an education as was afforded by the
district school Of the country at that time,
on reaching his majority he engaged in the
foundry business in Philadelphia, where, by
reason of his good judgment and skill, he
rapidly rose to the position of foreman, and
later superintendent. In this position his
great kindness Of heart well as his ability
to manage and handle men was recognized
by the proprietors, as well as the men under
his charge, who soon learned to respect, and
in many instances to love him as their best
friend.
In his business transactions Mr. Lawrence
was ever true and honest, his integrity be-
ing as firm as the rugged rocks and noun
tains of his native state He was firm be-
lever in the " Fatherhood of God and the
Brotherhood of Man" and that the All
Father " has the power and will in his own
good time to restore all his children to a state
of perfect holiness and happiness. For
many years he has been superinteI dent of
the Sabbath-school in his chosen Universal
list church, where children have grown to
noble manhood and womanhood under his
teaching and example.
Having been the recipient of the honors,
and having passed the chairs in the various
Masonic bodies of which he has always
been an esteemed member, he has filled the
Office of chaplain of his lodge for many
years, even down to the time of his release
from the mortal body For him the change
called death had no terror. His pure soul
had long since reached that condition Of
harmony and peace, that he seemed to those
who had the pleasure of his acquaintance
aud companionship to be already living in
purer atmosphere where his ever active and
| acutely sensitive mind not only recognized
the beauties and blessings of the physical
world in an unusual degree, but had pre-
pared him to meet the great change without
any shock, but rather as the weary traveller
! lies down to peaceful sleep and happy
dreams, to wake in the beautiful spirit land
where joyously meeting parents, brother
sisters and friends he continues the life of
everlasting progress begun in this world.
The deceased leaves wife and one son,

Ten Months to October 81.

1t will be seen that the the average

the democratic period exceeding
twenty five and half billions OF bust

inflicted upon all classes of our people?

Our Loss of Business.

We again publish the record of our
lost business, bringing the figures down

comparisons. The figures of our lost

THE unfailng vigilance of our local con-
stables was illustrated Tuesday night at
Armory Hall. A couple of Montpelier's
well-known citizens engaged in friendly
wrestling match in corner OF the hall.
The midnight colony, who were rather tired
waiting for the slow-coming election re-
turns, gladly welcomed this diversion. A
ring OF shouting, stamping, yelling specta-
tors was instantly formed around the strug-
Cling figures. But the demonstration at
tracted the attention of two OF our consta-
bles, who thinking from the noise and the
crowd that nothing less than murder was
going on, shouldered their way through the
crowd, grasped the struggling pair in the
center and wrenched them violently apart.
Then there was a tableau which pleased the
spectators even more than the wrestling
match. The establishment OF, the peaceful
combatants was only excelled by that OF the
officers, while the spectators howled an en-
core in vain. -
THE Prowler is making collection OF the
different kinds of laughs. He has discov-
cred, 80 far, the laugh of amusement-w which
is varied in style-the laugh apologize, the
laugh annoyed, the laugh embarrassed, the

used to express a negative opinion-and the
laugh of qualification. 1t is evident that
quite conversation could be carried on
solely by the means of laughs. The Prowler
is very anxious to add to his collection, and
offers a bird's-eye view OF himself taken
during the war, to any one who Will capture
and send to him new variety OF laughs
