What Denmark has done Benning-
ton County can do.
SOLDIER KILLED BY BRIDGE.
First Bennington County Man To
Lose His Life In Civil War.

George Plumb, one of the first
of Bennington boys to enroll
his name in Captain Walbridge's
Company in May, 1861, was also prob
ably the first Bennington county man
to shed his blood in the cause. He
was one of large family who resid-
ed on Silver street in the house or on
the site of the house where the
Plumb family now reside and was an
older brother of Chauncey Plumb's
father.
The elder Plumb, head of the ia
mily, was carpenter by trade and
employed by Abel Wills, master build
er, who lived on Valentine street in
the house now occupied by James H.
White. Owing to alarge family Mr.
Plumb, although a prudent man, new
er had more than a few dollars
ahead. One day while at work he
struck his adze into a timber and
said, Abel, Pm tired paying rent and
am goin to build house"
"All right" said Mr.. Wills, cts a
good reason.
About two years later Mr.. Wills
was on the hill and discovered a Gel
lar with foundation and stills ready to
commense. Turning to the old gent
leman he said, Nov, if you have
mighty good luck Plumb and live
long enough, wouldn't wonder If you
got a home after ALL"
We'll" Abel says, plumb, if | ever
do, | shall have the consolation of
knowing it's paid for.
George was ambitious for an edu-
cation. He had learned about all he
could in the common schools here
and his great desire was course at
Middlebury college. When his COM
pany were enroute to Burlington May
14th 1861 and nearing Middllebury, he
clambered on top of the car thinking
to get a better view of the college
buildings. He did not know of the
covered bridge that crossed Otter
Creek this side Of the village and
striking ii squarely his brains were
dashed out over the top of the car
His body did not fall, but was ten
dorly removed after arriving at the
station
Two days later the body was
Drought 10 Remington under an eS-
cort from the company commanded
by Lieut. VIM. II. Cady the band then
drilling for service in the regiment
were here so that with civic and 9TH
er societies it was large and
solemn funeral.
This young man had offered him
self to the government as freely as
any other of that famous company
and 1t was only through a laudable
ambition that he lost his life before
having had his name placed on the
U. S. Muster roll so that he does not
even appear as a volunteer in our
state reports. This is a case that
should not be overlooked and no
doubt will be remembered by the
historian.

LAUGHTER AND TEARS.
Why an Outburst Of the Ono May
Cause a Flow Of the Other.

Cause Flow OF the Other.
What is laughter and why do tears
80 often accompany It?
On each side of the throat is an ar
terry called the carotid. At the level Of
the larynx this divides. one branch.
which carries blood to the brain, being
called the internal, the other, which
distributes blood to the face, being
called the external These two branches
are Joined about the level Of the eyes
by the ophthalmic artery, which forms
a canal between them. This commu
nication is the cause of the close con
nection between the brain and the tear
glands, between laughter and grief.
both of which are generators of tears
Physiologically. a burst of laughter
is nothing but a strenuous effort, like
lifting a heavy weight In both cases
the muscles of the throat and stomach
contract.
When laughter is excessive the
whole body is convulsed every muscle
is contracted In the place Of normal
respiration come short Intermittent
respirations. insufficient to free the
lungs from the semi-asphyxia pro
duced by the contraction of the throat
muscles. The face shows the conges
tlon OF the blood vessels of the head.
Apoplexy may In rare cases result
These muscular contractIons compress
the external carotid. which can no
longer supply the brain with blood
In consequence this rushes up the in
ternal carotid. which becomes choked
and dlated. It can stand the pressure
only because the ophthalmlc artery re
lieves 1t. Taking this route the blood
congests the tear glands. which over
flow.
Tears are exactly the same as the
liquid part OF the blood. So It is
fair deduction that the action of cry.
ing is equivalent to certain loss OF
blood. which relieves the congestion
Of the brain. This Is why women feet
so much better after good cry
The facial contortions OF weeping
persons are caused by the automatic
contraction of such muscles as are
needed to compress the tear glands
and so help TO squeeze out the tears

BARN BURN ED.
Building Owned by N. J. Morrisssy
Destroyed.

A barn in the rear of the resi-
dence of Nicholas j. Morrissey and
owned by him was destroyed by fire
this morning. The blaze was first
noticed shortly after $50 and an
alarm sounded from box "a. The fire
was readily extinguished after the
arrival of the fire companies but the
building is a total loss.
The cause of the fire is not known.
The building is situated less than
hundred feet from the railroad track
and it is possible that the barn
caught from spark from one of the
engines which were being switched.
1t was valued at about $500, but
will cost more than that sum to re-
build. A large amount of furniture,
tools and similar articles were stored
in the barn and are apart OF the loss.
The loss is partially covered by in
surance.

Example Of Denmark.

The most remarkable example of
agricultural regeneration in modern
times is Denmark" says Prof. Car
yer. in 1864 she was facing ma
tional ruin, as the result Of a disas-
trous war. and worst Of all. her Ger
man market was cut OF by the Ger
man tariff wall. But as one result
of this accumulation OF calamities
there was developed an intense feel
ing Of national patriotism and soldi-
arity. Out Of this feeling grew a
number OF cooperative measures for
the rebuilding Of the country, especi-
ally in the field of agriculture. With
in fifty years Denmark became the
most prosperous country in the con
tinent Of Europe. and stands today
as a monument to the efficiency OF
the spirit Of intelligent cooperation.
Il is a cooperation. not forced upon
the people by the government but
spontaneous cooperation growing out
