Vermont and New Hampshire Once
Near War.
(From wilbur's Early History of Vermont

From 1778 to 1871 there was great agitation
among the people of both Vermont and New Hamp-
shire growing out of attempted union of the towns
in New Hampshire, near the Connecticut river, with
Vermont.
union consummated and at time the
representatives of IS New Hampshire took their
seats in the General Assembly of Vermont. New
Hampshire claimed that this action and attempted
union illegal and growing out of this controversy
imminent between Vermont and New Hamp
shre but better counsel prevailed and the union of
those towns with Vermont was dissolved.
The committee of the House of the State of New
Hampshire 1870 reported to the House of that State
that that State should lay claim to the jurisdiction of
the whole of the New Hampshire grants, socacd lying
to the westward of Connecticut river This looked like
humiliation but the report conceded that if the
Continental Congress allowed the grants westerly of
Connecticut river to be separate State by the of
Vermont the State of New Hampshire would acquiesce
therein. This report was ordered to lie but it
taken up in June of 1879 and passed This concession
seemed to open door whereby Congress could settle
the whole controversy by admitting ali the grants
westerly of the west bank of the Connecticut river
separate State.
Ira Allen waited upon the General Court of New
Hampshire to settle the controversy Allen position
that New Hampshire had just claims to the
grants. He stated that Vermont had to expense
in sending agents to Great Britain that New Hamp-
shire had left the grants contend alone against the
New Workers, that the Green Mountain Boys had been
deserted by New Hampshire and had to contend against
the New York land jobbers that this was time when
the Green Mountain Boys were few in number and had
but little than Heaven to protect them and their
miles and when New Hampshire was appealed to to
exert herself to obtain jurisdiction of the grants again.
when the Green Mountain Boys hard pressed by
both Great Britain and New York, she said, the King
gave and the King hath taken away and blessed be the
of the King "

VACCINATION MAKES DISEASE
London Authority Tells Doctors Virus
Produces Scarlet Fever and
Measles.

Philadelphia.-Dr Charles Creigh
ton of London. formerly professor OF
medicine In Edinburgh, startled the
Pennsylvania Vaccination board. In
session here, with the opinion that
vaccination was to blame for the
spread of many epidemics.
You will find," said DR.. Creighton.
that measles and scarlet fever have
spread to a great extent since small.
pox has been on the wane. do not
believe that vaccination is necessary
unless an epidemic OF smallpox is
prevalent. To vaccinate every child
before he goes to school is crime,
and should be stopped
THE virus that Is used is certainly
open to question. Children never be-
fore had the measles or the scarlet
fever as they do today, and why? Sim.
ply because the contamination of their
blood with tine serum of the calf has
rendered them susceptible to these
diseases which they used to be able
to throw off. Now they are weakened
by incubation with vaccine virus"
Many medical men who heard him
were astounded, and they questioned
the eminent British authority. The
commission has asked DR.. Creighton
to submit some OF his proofs, and he
will be requested to appear before
the board at another hearing next
week.

TOOTH RULES SLEEP WALKER
Girl Doubly Cured When Aching
Moiar is Pulled by German
Doctor.

Berlin.-An extraordinary case OF
somnambulism. resulting from tooth
ache. has been observed by German
doctor.
About two hours after going asleep
each evening his six-year-old daugh-
ter would get up crying for her moth
er, and talking to herself, would walk
with open eyes through one or more
dark rooms as If seeking something.
On being spoken to in loud voice.
she either would make no reply or
give confused answer. After return
ing to bed she some times would
sleep quietly and at othertimes would
continue to moan. Usually she would
pass the rest of the night in untrou-
bled sleep. though occasionally she
would walk again. In the morning her
face would be very red.
Examination showed that this singu-
lar condition was caused by sensi-
tive tooth which had been filed.
When the filling was removed an
abscess was discovered. The tooth
was extracted, and since then there
has been no return of the sleep-walk-
ing.
AS the child was otherwise in per
feet health the somnambulistic state
is supposed to have been produced by
the effect of the poisonous matter at
the root of the tooth entering the
blood and causing brain irritation. A
very slight disturbance during sleep
is sufiicien to excite the brain. which
then is reposing and recruiting
strength.

CRUSADE ON BIRDS BEHALF
Radical Measure to Be introduced In
the English ParlIament--Proteo-
tlon OF Fcathered Tribe.

London.--A new crusade against the
killing OF birds in order to supply
feathers for millinery 10 in progress
here. and bill Is soon to be intro
duced In parliament which. II II pe-
comes law, will prevent many OF the
cruelest OF the practices which result
from the demand for feathers.
Lady Brooke, Rance of Sarawak.
presided at lecture In support OF the
plumage bill for the protection OF whd
birds, at the whitehall rooms. She
said she thought that women had a
tremendous part to play In advising
the making OF laws against the wear
Ing of feathers. II was entirely wom-
ems part to do this. because It was for
women that the birds were killed, ana
women wore the feathers.
James Buckland lectured on the
Value of Wild Bird Life to the EN-
pire." He said chat the feathers used
in millinery were the wedding gar
ments of the birds" To be OF any
value in millinery the feathers must
be taken before the birds attempted
to rear their young. The prohibition
to export plumage from India and
Australia had been rendered abortive
by the Illicit trade in feathers. and
Great Britain was the receiver OF the
stolen goods. If the truth could be
told about the Calcutta custom house
in relation to certain persons In Lon
don the public conscience would be
shocked by the extent of the SNUG
Cling of feathers. With the passing
OF the plumage bill this trade would
be stopped at once.
George Greenwood. M. p, proposed
and Captain Tailby seconded resolu-
ton strongly appealing to the govern.
ment to grant facilities for placing the
plumage bill on the statute book. The
resolution was carried.
