Horror upon Horrors Head.

Now that the season has shown some
tendency to produce the sort of weather
that is expected of it, it may be safe to
record a somewhat startling prediction put
forth by Maine weather prophet by name
of Ezekial Bonzy, who for the past many
years has been making predictions that
proved remarkably successful. For about
As years his predictions have been re-
garded as the best that we're to be had, but
five years ago he made the remarkable dis
covery that the weather OF New England
went in cycles of just 76 years, SO that the
weather of 1899 will be just the same as
that Of 1928. On this basis he has made
some surprisingly accurate forecasts.
For the summer OF '99 he has the follow
ing, which is highly encouraging:
"Spring will advance rapidly until the
middle OF April. Then there will be cold
dry weather with high winds for two
months and half, causing failure of the
hay crop. On June 20, the longest day in
the year, heavy frost will occur in New
England and the tops of the hills will be
clad in snow Memorial day will be cloudy
and moist. and July will be so cold that
men will need overcoats and gloves.
Early in August a series OF tornadoe.
and thunder squalls will occur. Flood.
and tempests mingled with lightning and
hail will pr evail until late in August, after
which mellow autumn will come early and
stay late. Rutland News.

The Heart of Maryland.

"The Heart of Maryland" comes to the
Bellows Falls opera house April %. The
play is in four acts, and finds its action
during the period when the civil war was
at its height. Throughout the play, the
interest of the spectators centers upon the
struggle of the heroine Maryland Calvert,
to prevent the pursuit of her lover by bis
enc mics, and his capture, which would re-
suit in his speedy and ignominous death a.
spy. OF all the wonderfully realistic
scenes, tinged with the glamor OF romance,
which David Belasco has devised to en-
nance the interest of his dramas, he has
never created one so thrilling, so illustri-
Gus of the grandeur and force of the power
of woman's love when driven to despera-
ton as that in the belfry of the old church
tower. To save her lover, who, after his
condemnation to death as spy by the
court martial, has escaped, she Iushes into
the tower and through the darkness up the
frail staircase of the belfry, leaps forward
and catches the clapper of the bell and
prevents the alarm being given that would
surely bring her lover back to meet his
doom. &c.,

Mr.. Reed.

And now we ara told that Thomas B.
Reed will resign bis seat in Congress and
go to practicing law in New York city If
this is true, as 1t apparently is, the republi-
can party and the country sustains heavy
loss to enable MIR. Reed to make money.
The report was printed in the New York
Herald some days ago that Mr.. Reed had
been invited to join New York city firm
OF lawyers with guaranty OF $50, 900
a year, and it was said that he had sud-
denly abandoned projected European
trip to consider the matter. Apparently
the report was true, and the worst follows.

ing that the presidential lightning ma,

anybody can beat Mckinley in 1900. 1t

our public affairs, and be has made hi,

a picturesque and taking personality, bu,
1T is also true that he has lot OF brains
aud that rare kind of courage which
enables man to stand steadily bv his con
victions through any kind of popular storm
The republican party and the country hav,
needed Reed very much in recent wears, ane
have had him. 1t is to be feared that they
will need him no less in years to come, ant
will not have him. The fact that he leave
bis commanding position for no more thai
| $4,000 year tells its own story as to hi
integrity, but the story did not need tell
ing. No political loss has for many year
BEEN mourned as Mr.. Reeds will be, TO
such men are rare, and his quality ha
gained recognition.
OF course, there will be tremendou
scramble for the vacant speakership, bu
really it can hardly start with candidate
of a sort to give it the most vivid interest

April 10.

Few days in the American calendar Of

Narrow Guage Will Not Quit Claim.

The Brattleboro & Whitehall company
has been urged by the Central Vermont
since its reorganization to quit claim the
road to the New London, but as the Mar
row Guage sees nc advantage to be gained
by such proceeding the proposition will
Iprobably not be accepted. The statement
OF the case is given as follows;
The lease to the New London, which the
Central assumed, was for 80 years and has
~ yet to run. 1t contained three pro-
visions for the benefit OF the B. & w. side,
one that a stipend Of $500 year should
be paid to keep up the organization,
another that at least two trains day
should be run, and third that if there are
ever any profits above expenses and inter-
est, one-halt should go to the narrow
guage stockholders. For the latter to quit
claim now would be to abandon every one
OF these rights and leave 1t entirely to the
choice or interest of the Grand Trunk,
a Canadian corporation, to fulfil any of
these agreements. The provision for share
OF the profit may be only remote one, as
the Central has big account against the
b q w. due to practically rebuilding the
line and including all sorts of charges.
But as it has always shown margin above
strictly operating expenses, there are posi-
bilitles in this line in the better times COM
ling for Vermont, and in the interests Of
other companies to the south to get western
connections.
1t appears from the records that vote
was passed to mortgage the B. & w. rail
road for sl5O,Ooo to Judge J. M. Tyler,
who was then in congress, Judge O. s.
Howard and George j. Brooks, trustees
as security for the bonds to be issued
But this mortgage was never executed, il
not being thought necessary by the New
London Northern railroad in view of thu
provisions of the lease, which it treated q
in lieu Of mortgage, and it must meal
THAT the bonds are in its possession yet ant

$4,000 Insurance Wanted on a
JERSEY Bull.

Application has been made for insurance
of $4,000 on the famous young Jersey
bull, Merry Maiden's Son, owned at Hood
farm, Lowell, Mass. This is the highest
amount of insurance ever asked for on a
bull or COW. Merry Maiden's Son is be-
lieved to be the most famous Jersey bull
living, as he is the son OF Merry Maiden,
the champion sweepstakes COW in all three
tests combined at the Worlds Fair and his
sire is Brown Bessie's Son, whose dam won
the 80 days and 80 days tests at the
Worlds Fair. Thus Merry Maiden's Son
unltes the blood of these two famous COWS
and great results are expected from hi,

PICTURED HORSES.

sis may lack the heroic features
which formerly characterized cur
good old friend, we believe the ar,istic
horse Of the present day is much more
accurate. They say the change is due
almost entirely to the revelations Of
the instantaneous camera. This infal.
lible portrait maker has caught the
steed in action and shown us exactly
how he looks. 1t has always shown lls
that when he runs he doubles up like
q jackknife and throws grace to the
winds. It has likewise demonstrated
the fact that old-time artists had err
roneous ideas as to how the brute han-
died his feet and used his legs. Indeed,
photography has shown us so many
things about moving horses that strict
accuracy in their portraiture is almost
ridiculous.

able operation of Doctor Schlatter, in

know that she lived IA months after the
