day the farm hand had his fright, was
seized with an illness that baffied the
skill of the veterinary surgeon. The
sides of the animal became distended
and it was almost impossible for it to
eat. Two weeks later the suffering OF
the animal became so great that Farm
er Reading ordered it killed. The ami
NAL was opened. and in its stomach
were found most of the missing articles.
Three padlocks, two hasps, scores of
nails, hammer and a file were found.
The file with the last meal of nails had
caused the illness which led to the ami
malls sudden talting-off, for they were
imbedded in the wall of the stomach in
such a manner that death was certain.

of one person only 1856 were males and

such dwellings, existing in 1895, as COM
pared with 2S4, 900 IN 1885. Brick comes
next, there being 26,O4l houses built OF
that material. But taking into account
the length of time Massachusetts, has
been settled it is surprising to learn
that there are only SIS dwelling houses
in the state constructed of stone and
that PAS of these have been built since
1855.
Considering the density of it's popu-
lation and the fact that two-thirds of
this population lives in cities the size
of the families in Massachusetts, aud
the number of rooms to each family
compare well with similar conditions
in other states. The national census
of 1890 showed that The average number
of persons TO family in Massachusetts,
was 400. The average appears TO have
diminished, as the state census of last
year found only 4.49. but even with
this average Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont rank below it. The aver
age number of persons to an occupied
dwelling were also found TO be greater
in New York state and Rhode Island
than in Massachusetts, in 1890. Social
