DOS'T swallow orange, grape or apple seed?, or raisin stones. It is a well estab­lished medical fact that many deaths hitherto attributed to "infl immation of the bowels," or diseases of thatclass, have been due to the malady known as "appen­dicitis" which is caused by hard sub­stances like those named lodging in the little apparently useless portion of the in­testines known as the "vermiform appen­dix." .Many of the ills the flesh is heir to come and go mysteriously, but this one cm be surely avoided by adhering strictly to the rule to swallow nothing of an indi­gestible nature, and nothing which has not been thoroughly masticaUd.

Er.EtTurc lighting is fully established as superior to gas, and electric heating is coming riijht along. It ha9 been found by (.vperiment that for every 27 pounds of coal burned 20 pounds are wasted, less than 1 per cent, of the total efficiency of its heating power being utilized. But in using electricity 0 per cent, of the heating t-lii "ii ncy is available. Of course the cost of introducing electric apparatus is not considered in this estimate, but that does Uot alter the principle,and absolute cleanli­ness, ami freedom from noxious gases— product.-, of combustion—count in favor of electrici'y, which is simply one ot the products of motion, whether the motion be produced by steam, water, wind or other power.

THE bill now before the Legislature al­lowing indiscriminate seining in Lake Cliamp'ain is a good one to kill. Thou­sands of dollars; have been spent to pre­vent the slaughter of game fish and valu­able food ti-h in these waters in their HpaWhiri season*, and this measure pro­poses toopi nthe door wide to such slaught­er mice more, and invite evils which would overlial.itice a hundred fold all possible sriind that could result from its passage. Lake Chfimplain is attracting thousands of Summer tourists on account of its ex­cellent tithing, and it is to be hoped that • ur .Mi-ruber of Assembly and the Member from Essex and other enlightened Legis-ta'ors wil1 not allow this long Step back­ward to be taken to please a few pot-fish­ermen.

'-THE cost of procuring plans for a sys-t m of water works or sewerage is a mere bigitelle compared with the saviig which will result to property owaen from their b-iajr able to pu'in th-;ir dn»il]3 35 that they never need be recinstrue-el or aban­doned."

"Under the City Lamps" tonight. The drama is a thrilling one, and the repro­duction of N e w York city scenes i t wonderful.

Ogdensburg is struggling with the theatre-bat problem, and this solution i s proposed : Women all to sit in front and men at the rear. That never will d o . The dear creatures hate tbe big hat in front just the same as w e do . It is only on their o w n charming heads they tol­erate it.

1 have ree'd only this morning your favor of 2ihb ultimo, owing to the imprac­ticability of crossing the lake. A part of the B. flotilla has been at Rouses point since a few days. What their increase at Houses pt. has been this spring 1 have not learned, except their ship which I under­stand will be soon ready to display the English colours on our Lake. We are ap­prehensive that they wili pay us a visit ia a few d lys, and send us some of their heavy Balls, unless they chance to go first to the mouth of Otter Creek to Block you up. They may take every Sloop and otner suitable Boats on this lake and sink them, loaded with stones at proper places in the River and abut you up there. Whether tbe points at tbe mouth of that River are proper to place strong batteries and keep' them off you will know best. If I bear any-thing new between this and Friday I will again write.

I am Dr Sir Verv Resp'y, Youra

The jury at Utica, in the case of Ach-sab S. Bateraan, vs. Tbe Central Vermont -railroad, a suit to recover for injuries sustained in an acsidjot at Cimiuiu. August 5, 1891, rendered a verdict of $17,500 for tbe plaintiff, March 23.

In the same court, in the case or Mrs. Lottie S. Lewis of Mooers, against tbe Central Vermont railroad company, the plaintiff, Mrs. Lewis, obtained a verdict of §10,000 for damages growing out of the same collision. Tbe car in which Mrs. Lewis was sitting was telescoped, and she received several injuries, one of her -ankles being broken. She also re­ceived injuries upon her bead, and was otherwise injured. The case was origin­ally commenced in this county, but was removed into the Uaittd States Court, and was on trial last week before Judge Cox. Shedden & Booth were tbe attorneys for Mrs. Lewis , The attorneys for tbe rail­road were Louis Hisbrouck of Ogdens-burg, and B. B . Witters, of St. Albans, Vt.

The defendant has obtained a stay for sixty days, and will take proceedings for appealing the case to tbe TJ. S. Supreme Court.

The Utica Obsei-ver ot March 24th says of the Bateman case :

"Tbe accident was earned by the fail­ure of the air brakes on the cars t o work or control the train. The railroad com­pany claimed tbat tbe passengers, or some third party tampered with tbe air brakes, putting them out of ordor. Tbe plaintiff claimed that tbe brakes were defective, w h i c h c o u p l e d w i t h t b e e n g i n e e r ' s a n d conductor';* negligence caused tbe col­lision.

"The case was stubbornly contested Louis Hasbro tick, B. U. Witters and C. A . Prouty, leading railroad attorneys, were counsel for tbe railroad, and Thomas f. Conway, and Frank £ . Smith, prominent lawyers of Plattsburgb, conducted tbe plaintiff's case with signal ability, partic­ularly managing tbe expert and medical evidence, aud the cross examination of defendants witness with consummate skill

"The case occupied several days, and at tbe close of tbe evidence Mr. Hssbrouck made; a forcible argument for defendant, claiming ii con d in no way be held liable-Mr. C ia way followed on bebaif of Miss Bateman, and in an eloq lent and power­ful address insisted that the railroad com­pany was inexcusably, if not criminally negligent, and should be made to pay the ueaviest damages. Tbe jury apparently Agreed with biui, as they rendered a ver­dict for the plaintiff for #17,500, tbe larg­est ever rendered in an action for per­son d injuries at tbe United States Circuit Court.

Tbe transfer of these cases t o the TJ. 8-Circuit Court was effected through a law which allows a defendant sued by plaintiff living in another State to have tkia done.
