AUGUST MAGAZINES.

The August number of the National
Magazine is filled with interesting matter
on leading events of the day as we'll as
several excellent stories by young Ameri-
can writer's. Joe Mitchell Chapple writes
of affairs at Washington and the interest
attached to his breezy sketches of life at
the capitol is enhanced by illustrations
and portraits of men and women of the
hour.
The August Century has a special
article, on the West Indian Disaster and
finely illustrated description of the new
New York, as well as seve ral poems and
tales of fiction. 1t also contains the fifth
chapter of" Confession, of Wife, which
has occasoned much comment of late.
St. Nicholas for August has budget of
good things for all sorts and conditions
of children. The result of the competi-
ton started in the June number will be
given. In this contest, prizes were offered
to those boys and girls who would send
the names OF rescuers whom they would
send for Robinson Crusoe, the names to
be selected from book characters.
| The Worlds Work for August is a recrea-
ton number containing illustrated artic es
and stories of the American season Of rec
reation. The subject of Labor Unions is

CABOT STORM SWEPT.

Cabot, Aug "A thunder storm of
unprecedented violence struck this
town at three O'Clock Friday afternoon.
The accompanying wind almost equal
led hurricane. The Winooski river
and tributary streams overflowed their
banks carrying away bridges, public
and privave, and surface water quilted
highways so as to in many cases rend-
er them impossible.
The large barn of Ora Dow was
struck by lightning and destroyed
with all this seasons crop of hay,
some forty to fifty tons, two horses,
three calves, one bull, and a number
of swine All Mr.. Dow's farming
toos, his wagons and harnesses were
also lost The total loss will reach
So, 500 with 81 300 insurance. In Low
er Cabot two highway bridges were
carried away and many small struc-
lures. The town will have to expend
49,, 90 to repair the damages and again
render the roads fit for travel.
The Journals correspondent sends
this account of the storm and damage /:
The thunder storm which broke over
this town at three O'Clock Friday af-
ternoon, was one of great severity.
The thunder and lightning were ter
The rain fell in torrents, the meadows
being submerged several feet. The
streams rose several feet within an
hour, carrying away bridges, gully
ing the roads and doing enormous
damage.
Not within the remembrance of the
oldest citizens have the streams risen
to such height and done so much
damage. Two bridges at Lower Cab
OF were made impossible one on the
main road from Cabot to Marshfield at
Hatch's store, and the Haines bridge
The two bridges each side of l.. p.
Cole, going toward South Walden and
the G.. f. Harvey place were entirely
removed. The bridge coming down
from the Miller place aud a large
number of private bridges are com
plete wrecks.
People who had gone from one part
of the town to another only two miles
distant were obliged to remain over
night because of the impossible con-
dition of the roads Probably 81, 800
will not any more than repair damages
to the highway.
Lightning struck the large barn
lone of the best in town. of Ora Dow
and burned it to the ground. Almost
all the years crop of hay was i'll the
barn, from forty to fifty tons, which
went up in smoke and flame. Two
horses, three calves, bull and sever
al pigs and hogs were in the conf1agra-
ton lumber wagon, hay tedder,
hay rake, all of his harnesses, milk
separator and lot of other imple-
ments were also consumed.
Only by aid of water and buckets
were other buildings saved. Evidently
a bolt passed into the barn when it
burst and ignited every part of the
structure at once. The loss will reach
nearly 50, 600 with an insurance of
ST. 300. No mails could be received
tonight from the north. c. W. Gilman
lost three COWS and calf which were
struck by lightning in the pasture.
Immense damage to roads and property
was done in Walden the particulars of
which were not at hand.

THE PAPERS SERVED.

Rutland, July 3l.-The writ in a
$50, 900 SANDER suit brought by Samuel
d. Wilson, alias Waite of Cambridge,
Mass. was served by Deputy United
States Marshal Frank H. Chapman on
the defendant, Percival W. Clement,
high license local option candidate for
Governor, yesterday.
The writ contains fourteen counts,
and alleges that Mr.. Clement made
slanderous remarks about the plalntlf
in his element 81 pre-convention
campaign addresses. The suit is re-
turnable at the October term OF the
second district, United States Court
which convenes in this city October l.
The suit was brought by Johnson d
johnson of Boston, a member of
which firm was in town last week,
and all of the defendants real estate
and the appurtenances thereof III this
! city have been attached.
After quoting from alleged state
ments by the defendant, the writ con-
cludes by stating that the plaintiff has
! thus been publicly and UNANIMOUSLY dis
graced by the spoken and published re
marks, that many people have thus beer
made suspicious of him as murderer
and have refused to have anything tC
do with him socially or in business
way and finally, that the plaintiff ha
thus been inquired and damaged t.
the extent of $500
Mr.. Clement returned only yester
day from Montreal, Canada, and h,
left this afternoon for Mancheste

THE TEACHERS HOME.

The Burlington Free Press has re-
Gently published. a statement, concern
ing the will of Miss Lucy Ruggles, in
which it was announced that unless
Vermont teachers make some move
Immediately the bequest for home
for aged or INDECENT teachers will be
forfeited.
Vermont teachers are seldom found
in the latter class and few of them
expect to live to old age-the rigors
and vicissitudes of school teaching
precluding any such possibility. Per
haps this is the reason why there is
nobody to take any action in the mat
ter But wouldn't it be a good plan,
in order to keep that $50, 600 in Yer
mont, to take into account the things
which befall people of other classes
and provide for exigencies.
The conditions of the will, if any,
other than that unless some provision
is made for support of the home when
it is built the trustees might decide
if worth while to establish it. and
that the money, if not soon used, will
go TO the State of New York, are not
stated. Just at present it is doubtful
if enough teachers could be found in
Vermont answering the requirements
of such home, to make it seem me-
cessary, though the exact age was not
| stated.
If the legator had seen fit to have
| devote the sum to the building of a
home for teachers who would like to
study for year, or i'll need of rest
and recreation to prevent a break
down, untrammeled by the necessity
of working for time, there would
surely be no lack of response. Unfor-
tunately, such is not the case; but
might it not be so arranged that those
who wished for rest or to study could
at reasonable rates, make it resort
of this kind, and so help in the support
of an establishment that may IN future
be we'll worth the having.
A New York paper has the follow,
ing to say of the teachers summer
vacation which seems sensible, at
least:
"All these midsummer teachers
conferences and teachers vacation
schools should be forbidden by law OF
closed up. 1t is the duty of teachers
in summer time to go to grass and tc
time and winter time.
Herein lies suggestion and the i'm
agination may be given unlimited
sway.
1t is hard to believe that a home
like that proposed could fail of sup
port if once begun, and it certainl,
seems a pity to relinquish such an op
portunity Vermont teachers woult
+ doubtless appreciate it quite as mucl
as New Workers, only, perhaps tn
latter have more to contribute toward
! such an object and it is just possibl
that the tenure of office in NeY
York is more secure than in Yer
mont.
BE that as it may. 1t behoove
those who should be interested to eX
ert little effort that the oportunit
/, presented he not allowed to pass, t
p their future regret

What a Montpelier Citizen Says.

You may hesitate to listen to the
advice of strangers, but the testimony
of friends or residents of Montpelier
is worth your most careful attention
it is an easy matter to investigate
such proof as this. Then the evidence
must be conclusive. Read the follow

Louis Marcott, blacksmith of 8
Terrace street, says Anyone who
follows my calling requires good

his anatomy aches and pains with

sufferer is in actual misery / never

who knew my condition urged me
strongly to try Doans Kidney Pills
and l went to W. E. Poole's drug
store for box. If it had not brought
results l never would have bought a
