1t Is hardly necessary to say that this
steady drift of gold to the United States
is not relished by foreign nations. more
especially England. The Bank OF England
has tried by every means in her power to
prevent it Last month all of the prin-
cipal European banks suffered reductions
in their gold holdings. The Bank of En-
gland lost nearly so,jO0000. the Bank of
France s3,5O0OOO. the Bank of Germany
s2000.OO0 and Austria Hungary 81. 500 600.
The Bank of England being in close con-
nection with the United States. Is nat
urally the greatest sufferer. and during the
past calendar year it has lost S54.OOO.OOO in
gold.
The governing board of the Bank of En-
gland has been trying by every means in
its power to check the export of gold from
that country TO the United States. The
method which ii has always adopted in the
past, namely that of raising the discount
rate. has been tried. This Is the great
banks panacea for all of it's financial ills,
but although it may have prevented the
exports to the United States from being
greater, it has not been wholly effectual
This is in spite of the fact that the Bank
of England discount rate is now higher

Poisonous Parnlps.

The death of the young son Of Mr..
and Mrs. c. A. Wood, which occurred
in this place a short time ago, a men
ton of which appeared in the CHRoN-
IcLE, was phenomenal in that of the
cause which produced the sad result,
At the time Of writing the notice Of the
death Of this child We were not familiar
with all of the circumstances connected
Herewith, and the fact was simply
stated that a small piece of parsnip,
eaten by the child, resulted in its death
1t has long been known that parsnips
left in the ground over the second win
ter are poisonous after sprouting in the
spring following, but in this instance, as
We are informed by Mr.. Wood, the
psrsnip eaten by the child was of last
years planting, and that it should have
produced the effect that it evidently did
would seem almost unaccountable, and
will doubtless be sufficient cause fol
those who are familiar with the facts in
tie case, to give this much used vegeta'
bic a wide birth in the future.

There is no apparent excitement over
the coming town election, a call for
which appears elsewhere in this issue.
While it may not be expected that any
considerable degree of excitement
should be aroused by this call, the rule
being to nominate but one ticket, it is
nevertheless important that sufficient
interest should be manifested in the
matter to warrant the selection of the
best available men for the positions to
be filled, and it is to be hoped that the
greatest care may be exercised in this
direction. Men who are wide awake,
and who are liable to remain so. should
be chosen for the important official
positions.

Prof. II. NJ. Chance came in Thursday
from his camp on the lime belt, being
now located six miles southeast Of Cold
Springs, near the head of the middle
fork of Castle creek. He reports a
rough experience thus far in the prose-
cution Of his mission of exploration, as
a result Of frequent storms and heavy
SHOWS which greatly impeded his prog
ress, made prospecting extremely diff
cult and brought much discomfort upon
himself AID party. He came in on the
train from Newcastle, having travelled
on foot from his camp to that place
with his blankets and other supplies
packed upon n horse, the great depth of
the snow making it impossible to use a
wagon or sled. He will probably leave
OF the train this evening for Newcastle
on route to bis camp, and push on
north, his intention being to ex.
plore the belt for some distance further
in that direction, after which when the
snow has disappeared, he will return
oyer the same route with q view TO the
more thorough prospecting Of the
region.
