HORSES AND HORsEMEN.
Horses of Woodstock and vi
cinity.

In an article in the Mirror and
Farmer Allen w. Thompson says;
And now little in regard to the
horses of Woodstock and vicinity.
The call for horses never was better
and the supply is quite limited.
Woodstock has experienced a
very great loss in the death of Ste
phen Townsend's Aristos, as he was
proving one of the most valuable of
stock horses. Beaumont, kept at
the Billings farm, by Alcantara,
1905, dam a Kentucky bred mare,
for beauty, show and style cannot
be beaten. He with his colts took
first premium at our fair. The
Winslow brothers have two high
bred ones, Krapotkin, 27SS2, by
Kremlin, 2.o7 "a, dam Robert Nc
Gregor, 2.I7 I-2, and Nelson Star,
357oS, by Nelson, 2.o9, dam by
Starlight, son OF Kentucky Prince.
Krapotkin took the first premium
with his colts at our last fair.
Pomfret was once the great Me-
rino sheep town, but the Merinos
have given way to the Jerseys. 1t
is nova great dairy town. More
interest has been taken for few
years in the raising of horses and
they have some good ones to breed
from. Monarch, owned on the
Cloudland farm, is noble speci-
men. He traces through Mambrino
King, 1919, to Mambrino Chief, II,
the sire of Lady Thorn, that was
once the queen. One of the mares
owned mt the farm with a foal by
Monarch took the first premium at
our last fair as the best brood mare.
The noted pacing mare "Annie
d." owned by F. E. ellison Of North |
is dead and is supposed |
to have been hit by bullet from the
rifle of some wandering hunter.
H. B. Jackson of Lebanon was in
town Tuesday and bought the roam
colt, Sunny Jim, of F. j. Perkins.

MRS. ROGERS MUST HANG.

Judge Rufus w. Peckham of the
United States supreme court, has
declined to grant writ Of error
which would allow the case OF Mrs.
Mary Rogers of Vermont, now I'M
der sentence tor the murder of her
husband, to go to the United States
court. The application was made
before him at his Office in Albany,
N. Y, by Attorney Butler of Rut-
land.
Mr.. Butler argued that there was
federal question involved from the
fact the Vermont laws provide no
means for the retrial Of Mrs. Rogers
upon newly discovered evidence.
Gov. Bell, when informed of the
decision of Judge Peckham, made
the following statement:
"My stand in the Rogers case is
precisely the same today as when |
first reprieved Mrs. Rogers. Under
he law l was obliged to grant the
second reprieve. Now that the
writ of error has been denied the
law must take its course"

QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
Mishaps 0n . British BattleshlD That Caused Fear Among
 the Crew.

While the British battleship Thur dersr was off Milford Haven, Wales. not long ago curious accident to one of her guns caused much alarm among her crew. A target had been put out for practice with the ten-inch breechloading guns. When one was fired by electricity only a portion of the projectile was discharged, tho base plate of the shot and a portion of the frame being left in the gun- When the plate was removed the pres sxre of gas forced a portion of the proiectile from the breech of the gun On the second gun being fired hole about three inches in diameter was blown through the projectile. the other part of the base plate being left behind The base plate was in this case separated from the rest of tho projectile.
 Such accidents are believed never previously to have occurred on board any ship. There was much alarm among those in the turret, as the bursting of the guns was for time feared. It is suggested that either the powder in the projectiles waa damp or there was water in the gunA So far as can be seen both guns srs sound,

 Manuscript.

Interest has been created at Carbon. dale, H., over a discovery made by Marshal Penrod, who lives on farm near Dnngola. Recently Penrod rrubbed black oak stump out of DO. tato field close to his residence and found 6 stone about & foot long and eight inches in diameter. The peculiar shape of the stone, which rcssmbled . pocketbook, attracted his attention. and. upon close examination, he found carved on it's face In the English Ian. guage the following words: "This stone contains the original manuscript of Moroni (Mormon) Joseph Smith" The ravages of time had apparently made but little headway on the stone and upon closer examination he found the stone was hollow and hole drilled entirely through it and at both ends red cedar plugs had been driven in. Upon removing one of the plugs several sheets of parchment were found con- taining writing in hieroglyphics that eould not be deciphered.
