beauty. It is situated on high ground andin a valley. On the west, Whiteface moun-tain can be plainly seen, while to the east-ward is Lake Champlain with its noblesheet of water, and the eye taking in theGreen Mountain range for a distance ofover fifty miles.

The hunting and fishing are exoellent.Fifty thousand brook trout from the Adi.rondaok Fish Hatchery have been plaoedin the branches of the Little Salmon Elver,which flows through the valley.

A Den in Clinton Broken Up.Henry Ward and wife formerly kept a

disreputable resort in Franklin county, butas the officers of the law made their livesburdensome, they removed to the town ofClinton, on or adjoining the Canada line,where they continuedtheir nefarious prac-tices.

Justice Gilliland, o iPittsburgh, issued warrants, which wereserved by Deputy Sheriffs Allen and Day-ton, on Saturday, and Ward and his wifewere lodged in jail in this village.

Besides Mrs. Ward, the officers foundthe house Ward's three ohildren, a hiredman and two girls. The ohildren will betaken oare of by the poor authorities of thattown.

A Olaw of Cider.Where is the harm in a glasB of oider ?

Time after time has this question been putto me when urging some young friend tojoin our union. I at first f oun4 it ratherdifficult to answer, as I bad not given thesubject sufficient study. I only knew thathard oider oontained a certain amount ofalcohol; but why sweet oider should beharmful I could not understand; especial-ly when they asked me why it was not justas harmful to eat apples. First of all let

i look at the way cider is made.What sort of apples are used, are they

the best? Oh no indeed! the best applesare sent to the market, as the farmers find

ready sale for good fruit. Not BO thepoor fruit; but they must get rid of theworm eaten wind-fall in some way so theyuse them to make older. How often have[ seen a person whom I knew to be exceedingly fond of apples bite into one and thenthrow it away in disguesfr because theyfound that it was inhabited. Yet thosesame persons would drink any quantity ofsweet cider, and despite the fact that theserery same inhabitants have been pressed

along with the apples. But of course thatwould do a person no harm, only they donot get the pure juce of the apple as theyoften assert. Yet there must be some reason why oider is included in our pledge; letus look farther.

Hard cider contains from five and one-half to nine per oent of alcohol. O jee,you say, but we mean sweet oider.

Wei), then again let me ask you howlong will cider remain sweet? Never at;he longest more than five or six days, and3ften fermentation will commence withina few hours, as there is enough old ciderleft in the presses from time to time, tostart fermentation in the new oider, and weknow that onoe cider commences to fer-ment it has lost the right to be called sweet.

Yet this does not satisfy you. You say,rhat if our oider is homemade and does

not come from the publio cider press, weare sure it is sweet, can we not use it ?This is a difficult question to answer andbefore attempting to do so let us look alittle closer. It would seem in such a case,that there could be little or no differencebetween eating the apples and drinkingthe oider. But what is the reason that aman .once having been addioted to strongdrink, oan eat apples with impunity, where-as one glass of older, even the purest home-made, will within a few hours awaken theold appetite and arouse in all its fury theold oraving for strong drink?

Suoh oases have been known to exist;persons who have broken away from theold habit and thought themselves free fromthe old curse have been wrecked and lostforever upon this very rock, sweet oider.

Therefore there must be somethingwrong with sweet oider.

What is it? Apples contain three things,sugar, water and minute cells, containinga sort of yeast or ferment.

In eating an apple these oells do not be-

A Pecaliar Bobbery at Wllltboro.One day last week Mr. Wilbur Ames,

soa of Mr. B. O. Ames, proprietor of theBay View House, was relieved of his pocketbook containing $ 75, and suspicions restedupon one Smith, a night operator at theWlllflboro station, in the employ of the D.AH. Go.

The same day the money was missedSmith took the late afternoon train north,and Mr. Ames thinking it a dodge and thatbe would return en route sooth on thesleeper that evening, had Constable A. P.Clark in readiness to arrest him on arrivalof the train, and hold him over night onsuspicion, but on search found but onedollar upon Smith's person. He having lefta bundle in the oar, the brakeman took andhanded it over to the superintendent, and onexamination $69 of the stolen money wasfound sewed up in a oravat and in thebundle, which the superintendent sent toAmes, of which notice of the finding hadjbeen telegraphed to Ames at once, inanswer to bis telegram of inquiry. Mean-time, Smith had acknowledged the robbery,expressing much surprise at himself forthe act.

Mr. Ames read some letters from Smith'swife, relating to her and her children's dis-tressed condition from sickness and desti-tution; whereupon Mr. Ames advised hisson to release the prisoner and let him re-turn to his family, and so they, in the lan-guage of another, bid him "goinpeaoe andsin no more," believing it was his first at-tempt, and allowing for his family's dis-tress, and his own dissipation, they exer-cised Christian oharity seldom practiced.

Reunion of Graduates sad Old Students.For some time it has been in the minds

of those most closely identified with theinterests of Burr and Burton Seminary ofManchester, Vt, that when the propertime came, another reunion of the gradu-ates and old students should be held; and,for several reasons, the present year seemsto be the right time. The flourishing con-dition of the school, the growing Interestin its welfare and the increased confidence

i its efficiency not only in the immediatevicinity but also throughout the county andstate, all seems to warrant this conclusion.To the older members of the alumni also,the fact that Dr. Wickham is still with andinterested in the prosperity of the Institu-tion of which he was so many years thehead, will be a strong inducement to visitagain the old seminary and listen onoemore to the voice of their old teacher, andrenew former acquaintances.

June 26th has been fixed upon as thedate, and we trust that, if possible, allgraduates and old students will arrangetheir plans so as to be present and aid inmaking the occasion a grand success.

Effects of Tobacco r p o n the Childrenof Tbotie W h o I7»e I t .BY J. H KELLOGG, M J>.

There is no doubt but that a large shareof the hysterical girls, and the boys whohave a tendency to inebriety, owe theiroondition to the tobacco habits of theirfathers. I have seen numerous dreadfulillustrations of this. One gentleman bro'this boy to me whom he said * 'seemed tohave been born with the nerves all on theoutside of his body." When a child, hehad the St. Vitus' danoe; as he grew older,and recovered from this, it was found im-possible to keep him in sohool, for he be-came exhausted at the least exertion, couldnot sleep nights, and his neivons systemseemed a complete wreck. I looked intothe case carefully, and could find no rea-son in the boy for his extreme nervousoondition. Finally I asked the father ifhe used tobacco. He replied, "Ye?, I'veused it all my life; began when a mere boy,and it hasn't hurt me a particle." I toldhim that his son was suffering from it's in-jurious effects, and that the only time tosure him extended back to his birth.

A physician only forty years of age cameto me, and when I examined him I toldhim that he had a tobacco heart, and. tbathe must Btop smoking or die. He said hedid not see why tobacco should hurt himat that age, when his father and mother,who were each eighty years old, had smok-ed all their lives, and were hale and hearty.I replied that his father and mother hadsmoked his heart away. I remember oneyoung man only twenty, with a bad tobaccoheart, who did not understand why hecould not smoke a a bis father and grand-father had done before him.

A great many nervous diseases, oases oineuralgia, hysteria, etc , as well as heartdisease, are directly or indireotly attributedto the use of tobaooo. I am sure that thenext generation will be convinced of theenormity of the evil whioh is second onlyto that of aloohol, and perhaps in some re-spects worse. The alcohol habit producesmore sooial distress, but the evils it entailsupon posterity are no worse than those im-posed by the tobaoco habit, if they are scbad.

It has been urgued that tobaoco does notproduce organic disease. This is not true.It causes a failure of the eyesight whiohnothing oan enre, and brings on a tobaccoheart which nothing can cure.
