Gistant physician in an insane asylum

friend Alfred Van Bruler goes to one
for advice. However, he was ushered
into my private office one morning ana
he came on professional business. Van
Bruler had splendid physique, was
handsome as Montague, and like him
an actor; adored by the women, praised
by the critics and llonized generally.
His strong, healthy appearance gave
one the impression that here was man
who possessed sound mind in sound

his chair and said in excited tones:

I restrained from hilarious mlrth at
these absurd words. l thought at first
that 1t was a bit Of fine acting, but
a quick glance at his face checked my
laughter and convinced me that no

firmly believed what he stated.

The Camors Fondness for Music.

The fondness Of the camel for music
is well-attested fact. and when the
Arabs wish to get extra work out of
these animals they play bright and
cheerful airs upon some favorite instru-
ment Blows are Of no avail, but music
spurs the animal into exertion.

Ex-Sheriffs Potter and Raymore
were in the delegation, and as they
have many friends they received nu-
merous handshakes.
We expect to publish pictures OF
the candidates for Second Assistant
Judge, High Bailiff and County Com-
missioner in a future issue.

"I lent Gov" Kenfield was look

that old war horse r. G. Cristy,
who came up "to see what the boys
were doing.
The good qualities" of the several
candidates are so we'll known that 1t
is useless for us to enlarge upon them
here. All are good men, and they
make up an excellent ticket.
1t was Secretary Mudgett's first at
tendance upon a county convention.
He performed his duties admirably
and has in him the stuff of which
good Republicans are made.
Captain Waite presented R. W.
Hulburd in an admirable manner,
and his alusion to the illustrious
men from this county who have occu-
pied seats in the State Senate elected
applause.
H. L. Beard of Waterville polled a
good vote for Assistant Judge, con-
sidering that he was not in the field
until the eleventh hour. The same
may be said of Martin Shattuck OF
Eden. Both of them are good men
and may yet be called to seat on
the judicial bench.
Wallace Parker, Esq. in his euphonic
way of stating things, created consid-
cradle amusement and kept the con-
vention in good humor throughout.
Parker is a good Republican and a

stage at this convention. With the
exception of the man from Hyde
Park and possibly the onefrom Wat,

gentleman from Gilmore hasn't got
over blushing yet.
While Chandler Watts of Stowe was
not presented formally for Assistant
Judge, it was evident early in the day
that he had many followers, and that
when it came to balloting he would
prove strong candidate. He has
been a lifelong resident of Stowe, is
81 years old. and has served his town
as justice of the peace, seIectman and
in other capacities. He has a good

the shores of Nelson's pond on the

&" Paint Brush"

This noxious weed is fast getting
into our Vermont farms, and, unless
something can be done to check its
extension,it is going to destroy some
of our best lands for grass. The
white daisy is bad enough, but if cut
early, cattle will eat it, while we are
told that paint brush" is nearly
valueless.
Mr. Page has recently received a
letter from the Experiment Station
of the State Agricultural College, en-
quiring about his salt. There is little
doubt that LamOille county farmers
have been much benefited by the use
of Pages salt, but his supply is limit
ed and is practically exhausted every
year for fertilizing purposes. Here
is what the Experiment Station has
