Finally a man who owned a bloodhound took tho animal and lt him smell of tho body for some time, nd then traveled through the streets with him.

It has long been known that it is injurious for auy ono to go into tbo water to batho just alter eat ing a full meal, but it is not so well known that tho practice may result in death. This latter fact seems to havo been demonstrated by tho recent death iu a bath in Itriitow, '.ngland, of a boy 1,1 years old. IIo had never bad a lit, and is bulieved to have been in perfect health. When found in the water the crown of his head was just abovo the surface, and ho was standing in a stoop ing position, with his face just under the water. At tho place whero be was, the wa ter was only threo feet four inches deep, whilo tho boy's hight was lour feot nmo inches. Tho temperature of tho water was 5 degrees. Tho medical testimony disclosed the fact that tho deoeased had eaten heartily just before entering the water, or at least ad not given his lood timo to digest. He badyvomited a largo quantity of food, and whcnTound his 'mOuth and throat were full. Tho opinion was expressed in the medical testimony, and endorsed by tho verdict of tho jury, that death resulted Irom epilepsy, brought on by the dangerous practice of en tering the wator immediately after oating i meal.

Iho report shows that all tho financial transactions of the na tional grange have been as carefully trans acted as tbo most careful man conducts bis business. Much that is unjust has been, and is be ing said against the Patrous by politicians, accusing tho order of being political when ever any person inside or outsido of tho order mentions the namo of a member as even a probable candidate fur au office. This is unjust in every respect. Members ol the order have tho samo right to accept civil office as any other persons, but it is un- awl ill lor granges as such, to take political action by makiug nominations. Should the people of Vermont see fit to nominate Col II. iMcad lor governor or tho voters of the third district nominate E. P. Colton fur con gress, they could make no hotter nomination and their being members ot tho grange should not deprivo thorn of tbo privilege of allow ing their names to bo used as oaudidatcs lor offico. They have no spooial claims for office becauso they aro members of tho order, uoithcr should they bo considered ineligible to offico becauso they aro Patrons. Almost daily wo seo articles from thoso outsido of tho order telling that tho l'utrous will pro sent a candidato for this or that office. Such statements mislead the peoplo and leavo Iho impression that tho grango is a political or ganization which is not true in any sense. It is tho duty of every Patron to attend the primary meetings, to voto tor tho best men for office and to decido boforo he votes which will best represent the farmer's interest, a politician of tho present school or a farmer and citizen who is not an offico seeker. 8KLr.AitiantnouB Nmilkct.
