to seek its life also, and he fired the
bullet which penetrated its throat

Report on Water Supplies.

Somewhat Disappointing reports have
! been received by Health Officer Water
| man from the director of the laborat tory Of
| hygiene at Burlington, conducted by the
/ state board of health, regarding the sam
! pies OF water from some of Brattleboro's
sources of water supply. Several weeks
ago samples We're sent to the laboratory
/ from Crowells new reservoir. the Chest
not lin reserN DIR in Crowell's park. and
| the Western Aqueduct supply. The re-
| port from the new reservoir. which is
| supplied partly by springs and partly by
| meadow brook which flows past the
| Thomas place half mile beyond j. c.
Staftord's farmhouse, shows that nitrates
are present, which constitute one of the
| principal ingredients in fertilizer that
there is a slight sediment and that the
odor is distinctly earthly. Under the head
of remarks the director has written: "Bi-
ologically and chemically is suspicious
would advise thorough examinations of
the surroundings" DR.. Waterman has
examined the surroundings and found
that where the brook runs past the
Thomas place it is considerably lower
than the barn, but is some distance away
so far, in fact, that it would seem impos-
sible that 1t could be contaminated from
that source, the manure being thrown
into a closed shed. His supposition is
that If the impurities come from that
source 1t is because the frozen ground
does not allow them to be absorbed by
the earth.
There is no complaint in the summer
when the earth is not frozen; it is only
after a thaw that those using the water
complain of the odor of IA COW barn. The
brook supply has been turned into the
spring supply within two years. Before
that no complaint was made. Dr. Water
man has recommended that the brook
supply be cut off, and Mr. Crowel has
promised to do so unless he can remedy
the trouble in some other way. People
using this water are principally residents
of Canal street and Prospect Hill.
The report on the Chestnut hin res
erNoir is satisfactory and that on the
Western Aqueduct nearly So there be-
ing In the latter no odor and very slight
sediment, although it is reported "biolog-
icallN and chemically suspicious"

Probable Sequel OF the Cold Winter.
New York Herald

The abr ormal cold which. beginning
early i'll the ;.reseut season, has continued
most persistingly ana even now with some
increase of intensity, suggests the prob
liability of Il late cool spring. The local
mean temperature was folu degrees colder
than usual in December, six degrees cold
er in January, and now promises to he
about six degrees colder than the normal
this month.
IN the historic American winters of e.
cessivc cold 1t has not infrequently hap
pened that when the year opened with
Articlikr weather ii Las heen marked with
a chilly spring. The early Smithsonian
records show that the remarkably cold
epoch about 1887, with cold years pre-
ceediug and following, is common to all
stations represented between the Atlantic
coast and the eastern flank of the Rocky
Mountains" and that the extremely cold
winter of 1897 was followed by one of the
coolest summers recorded i'm this section.
A sinilar sequence betwC en- the extremely
cold winter of 1856 and the ensuing sea-
sons is also evidenced by the records of
the North Atlantic states. But in some
notable instances comparatively mild
spring and a warm summer have sue
ceeded an exceptionally cold winter.
So far, however as the sequel of our
present cold winter can be foreseen the
indications seem to BE- very distinct that
the coming spring, will be slow to arrive
and slower to establish its supremacy
over the country.
