He has two shafts down on the property, forty feet deep each and another one seventy-five feet deep. In the latter at a depth of twenty feet he ob- tained ore which assayed over S4J in gold. At the present depth the ore has changed to sulphnrets, contain ing copper, and he has cross-cutted the ledge six feet without finding the wall. The exact width of the ledge is not known.

How Rats Multiply.

In this city rats are found in consid- erable numbers, the brown rats predom- mating on the ships and wharfs, the black rats in the stores and warehouses, and the Alexandrian rats being limited to the holds of the ships that come from southern ports Weasels and ferrets are bred to keep down their numbers. The fecundity of the rats is So great that m few years they would oycrwhulm a whole city if they were not kept down by artificial means One pair will rear four or five families of 10 to 10 t. each litter in one year. and in six months these young ones are ready to repro duce.

TO DYE CARPET RAGS.

A Simple and Easy Way to Color
Carpet Rags so They viii Not
Fade.
To color carpet rags so they will not
fade, one should be sure to get the Fast
Diamond Dyes for cotton. There are
some twelve fast and special colors,
while for wool there are about thirty.
All of the Diamond Dyes that are marked
fast will make colors that do not fade or
crock.
1t is impossible to get satisfactory
cOlors on both wool and cotton with the
same dye, although some cheap dyes
that are able to make only a few colors
claim that their dyes will color both cot
ton and wool. a trial soon shows by
ruined goods the falslty of these claims.
Take nothing but the original and rela-
BILE Diamond Dyes that have been used
in thousands of homes for the last
twenty years.

REMOVING A BULLET.


Mildred brewster submits to the Operation
at Montpelier.
4 MONTPELIER dispatch says: For some
time past the doctors have agreed that
the bullet iu Mildred Brewster's head
must he removed in order to save her
life. W, a, Lord, counsel for Miss
Brewster, has been opposed to having
the operation performed in the Jail, and
fiually gained the consent of Sheriff
Coils 20 have her transferred TO the
Heaton hospital. An examination WIS
made of Miss Brewster's condition last
week. and it was deemed advisable to
extract the bullet as soon as possible.
Miss Brewster has been very anxious for
three weeks past to have the operation
performed.
She was taken to tine hospital SUNDAY
morning at TO o'clock by sheriff Coils
and placed in charge OF an attendant,
who had instructions TO closely guard
the patient, which will be done, and Miss
Brewster will be as safe as though con-
fined in the Jail.
The operation was performed by Drs.
Page of Waterbury, Chandler and Bisbee
of this city. At :45 Miss Brewster was
placed upon the operating table and ether
was administered. In 35 minutes from
the time it was given she was sufficiently
under the influence of the drug, and the
operation of removing the bullet was
commenced.
1t was about , 80 when DR.. Chandler
cut the bone back of the right ear. The
bullet was reached and could have been
taken out with one sharp pull, but the
operation being a very delicate one, the
doctor was obliged to chsel away the
bone. At ! O'Clock Sheriff Collins came
into the reception room, and exhibited
piece of lead which had no resemblance
whatever to Il bullet.
Dr, Bisbee stated that the hearts ac-
ton had been good all through the oper-
alton, and he could see no reason why
she should not recover. Drs. Page and
Bisbee left Immediately after the opera.
ton, leaving DR.. Chandler to dress the
wound. Miss Brewster will occupy the
Kings Daughters room until she is able
to be removed to one of the wards
Her case has been carried to the SUI
preme court which couvenes Jan. IL, on
exceptions, and will necessarily require
Miss Brewster's attendance providing
she is we'll enough to be present and the
doctors are of the opinion that she may
be. The exceptions to be heard are as to
sustaining demurrer to a plea in abate-
ment which set forth that the states
attorney had a stenographer in the grand
jury room. Should the supreme court
hold that the point is well taken, it Will
require a hearing before new grand
jury and another indictment found
before she can be tried. On the other
hand if they hold the indictment valid
the case will properly come up at the
March term of the comfy court.
Miss Brewster's father was not here at
the operation on account of illness.
