Wrong DIAGNOSIS.

One dark night three friends were
crossing deep, dry ravine, the banks
Of which were very precipitous. AS the
party had been imbibing a little too
freely, one Of the three had to be as
sisted up the incline. When, thinking
him safe at the top, his friends turned
him loose he fell to the bottom. He
lay very still, and the other two, sup
posing him severely injured, rushed
down to him. As they leaned over to
discover his condition the fallen one
exclaimed:
"For heavens sake, strike a match
1 think I'm sciousp'-Every-
body's.

One of the things the farmers are
having to contend with this year is
smut in their corn crop. There has
always been some of this disease in
the corn fields of New England but it
is much worse this year than ever be-
fore and the crop will be injured
somewhat by it. SO far as known
there is no sure remedy but the
spread of the disease can be lessened
by cutting off and burning affected
stalks,

weeks, due to the heat coupled with
his advanced years He was ill when
he was in Bennington two weeks ago

should be back here as soon as he felt
