M.1I. the noNTr.n Tiuonir nrviEwsn. -A Springfield Itepublican reporter spent the day Monday in investigating tho Hunter tragedy on the grouud, but does not seem to havo got at any essential facts not already published. He recounts the circumstances of the unhappy life of the Hunters, bis drinking habits, and the shooting the find ing of Hunter on the floor, the soven-sbooter In the middle of the bed with one chambfr empty, and Mrs. Hunter's pillow blackened with powder or Mrs. Hunter s arrest, exam ination, and releaso on ball because of her approaching confinement. He concludes that the theory of accident is txpiodod and thai it was cither a murder or a suicide. In sup port of the theory of suicide is tho evidence that Hunter said tho day before bis death that he wouldn't need a stove in his now tene ment, that he would draw no more wator at his well, and that bo would never Bee his children again who had been sent away. 'The case against the woman," Ibis young man concludes, "is much stronger, though supported by merely circumstantial evidence Three witnesses, including Mr. and Mrs. George A. Wright, testified that Mrs. Hun ter threatened to kilt her husband. Her own story also contains curious statements. She bought the pistol In Keene, she says, lor ber 10-ycars old boy. paying 1 lor it and spend ing tbo rest of $3 on her trip at a time when Hunter was making application to the town for aid. She now makes the silly excuse that ahe bad promised the boy one when be was 14, and he leased so sne bougnt it to let him take it when he could go out with older com panions. She acknowledged to Attorney. General Tapbam that she had never fired it. but that she put it under her pillow because she well sater so,' one says tuai eniranoe to their bedroom could bavo been obtained throuch the cellar door, which lacked fasten ing, and that she was afraid. The pillows are a stumbling-block to almost every ono. But Selectman Hooker, a sound, shrewd Yan kee (armer, and a true son of the Granite Btate, has a theory which he worked out for himself after much thought and pistol prac tice on pillows. On this basis be made the complaint. The blackened pillow was on Mrs. Hunter's side ot tho bed. Tbo sheet was unsmirched and the pillow unpierced. Mr. Hooker says that he believes the woman never went to sleep ; that sho took the re volver (rom her trunk in tho corner, where she acknowledges she kept it and walking around to the pillow snot iiuutor wnero he lay. He thinks sbe changed tho pillows and waited till midnight beioro giving tno word.

A DISTRESSING SU00TINO AVFAin. A two-years-old son of ltov, 0. Sohurff, a former pastor of tbo German church, was accidentally hotbyhis12 years oldsisterSon. day and died Monday morning. Itappoarstbat the family went to oburoh in the morning, leaving a servant girl with the two children. While Ihe servant was doiog the house-work, tne girl went to a chamber occupied by a visitor (rom New York, taking the baby with her, to do the chamber-work. Sbe saw a re volver on a shelf, and not knnwlug what it was, began to look It over. Iu doing so she Eulled the trigger. Ereu then, tbo child lu er innocence didn't know that the baby bad been hurt by tha Uioollug, but thought the little fellow was frightened by Ihe noise and had (alien over against a trunk, cutting its bead. It was not until a dootor bad been called that it was learnod that tbo shooting bad wrought the injury. Tbo dootor found that the ball had entered at the top of the child's bead and gone crushing diagonally through the brain, behind Ihe right eye, lodging iu the Jaw.bono. The family with their guest, through whose thoughtlessness tbe pistol was left within reach of the girl, are prostrated with grief, News haa been received of the suicide of llev. II.

TllK UOUtfl'Y VAIll. A noil X,riinr from the Frralitnal, 1 wish to say a word to the (armors of Windham oounty iu regard to the Importance of sustaining the fair of the Windham coun ty agricultural sooieiy. roe nmo has ueen when there was a ceneral Interest through out tho county whloh made It practically and really a oounty fair, and the Impoius wniou it gave to stock raising will readily he called to mind by even the most oareless observer whose oxperlcnoo oxtonds back to tho time referred to. There was great Improvement In both tbo breeding and management of all our domestic animals, Inoreased thrift in growing all other agricultural productions, and thousands of dollars wero added to tho wealth of tho (arming oommnntty. Of late, however, there has been less intorcst mani fested by (armors in different parts of tbo county in mooting eaob other inclose compe tition. For somo reason or other they fall to do so, and my own experience and observa tion teaches mo that thero has been ft corre sponding falling off in the quality of our do mestio animals and also in other productions. I do not say that there are not other causes than that of want of general interest In tho tbo subject that bavo entered In and aided In bringing about euoh a falling off. On the contrary I am persuaded that thero are. Prob ably tho one great oanso of all whloh will be suggested is a general depredation In tho fertility of the soil, especially that of pas tures. But whatever the causes assigned, it does no good to Bit down and grumble; rather let every enterprising (armer in the county come out to the oounty (air, tako with him the samploa of bis productions, wbetbor consisting of animals or other products of Industry, and there in close competition with others endeavor to learn something (rom one another that shall help us to inoreaso the fer tility of the soil, ralso better crops, better horses, cattle, sheep, swino and Kultry, as well as better dairy products and products of tbo sugar orchard. Farmers of Windham oounty. this is your fair. If it is not a auooes,wbo is too blame ? Are not you yourselves ? I am aware that there is a feeling in the minds of many that this society Is mansgedby a ring (or the ring. This Is a great mistake. Tboro may have been instances where there has been favorit ism and chicanery In awarding premiums. But with an experience of more than twenty years In connection with this society I do not hesitate to nay that this has been the exoep. tion rather than the general rule. In most In stances that have come under my observa tion where this has been oharged there has been room for difference of opinion In men of good judgment as to which was the bet ter animal or article, and if the Judgment had been reversed the other parly might have growled with equal reason it pestered with equal narrow-mindedness. It is not an uncommon thing to hear men eay of two horses or two yoke of cattle, "I had rather have this," and another "I bad rather have that." Tho fact is men differ and must be ei peeled to differ often times in what consti tutes the belter combination of desirable points. I am glad to ssy, however, that for the most part competitors are satiafled with Ibiir awards, which is sufficient proof of both the general integrity and good judgment of committees assigned to the duly of mak ing awards. Soveral town societies have sprung up about the oounty which bars detracted some what, It Is believed, from the interest of the county society. While these may be doing good in their several localities, they seem loo local and narrow In tboir scope to afford the advantages of a larger organization. I say, therefore, let the farmers from all parts of the county bring (orward such animals or articles as they have suoceeded in raising to a good or high standard ot per(ectiod, and help to make the coming county fair a grand success. In Ibis communication I would not forget other departments of industry than farming alone. Lit mechanics, artlzans, and espe cially the ladies, take an Interest In the fair. Let the hall bo well filled with those articles which indicate not only Interest, but skill and intelligence, and let us ono and all re member that tbo most Important oxbibtt is men and women, and let the fair be run (or the development of our Intellectual, moral and social powers, endeavoring to carry away with us a better knowledge of men and things that shall (end to make life Itself a greater succoes.

According to the best authenticated re ports, Ihe plague of small pox, Instead of di minishing, is rapidly increasing in Montroal. Efforts are being made by the business men nf the city to suppress the actual condition of affairs; benoo the contradictory reports which are published in different newspapers. But there is no concealing the fact that tbe number of oases of small pox in the city In creases daily. Tbe carelessness of the popu lation of tbe city la amazing. Many of tbe pooror classes not only resist vaccination and disregard all sanitary precautions, but per sons bavo been actually found upon the streets while suffering from the early stages of tbe disease, thus scattering infection right and left. For the credit of tbe Koman Cath olic clergy it must be said that, instead of enoooraging tbe people to ignore tho disease as on previous visitations, tbey have advised vaccination from their pulpits and told those who aro sick to stay at home. The running of through oars between Montreal and Boston has been stopped, and tbe railroad oompanies bavo generally taken all possible means to keep tbe disease from crossing Into tbe states. There has been no spread of the disease at Fall Klver, Mass. Two or throe oases of small pox bare appeared among tbe French Canadian population at Manchester, N. II. Itirhford, this state, a prominent border town, is excited over the spread of the dis raso to Button, a Canadian town only eight miles distant. An employe of the South eastern road has been taken with the disease there and tbo company has ordered all its workmen to be vaccinated or leavo the road. tVaala la Know. litliton of TU I'hanU .'The Argus and Patriot of this week says that tbe Jamaica appointment to tbe post ofilce Is all right, and ran be successfully defended on its merits.

A Triliuae reporter who dropped lota Csawell, IIuiM & Uo.'i pharmacy under tba Fifth Avenue Hotel yrsterdir, found the head of that firm In hrarlr jropatliy wllh tha publlo In Iho recent fatal mlttakea. Ho Mid Ilia only by patroDlrlog pharma cies that aro known to bo reipooilbleand trustworthy that such erlla can be avoided. There are few bnil nek flrui that can boast of an ancestry oi 1(4 years, and such a firm la entitled to apeak with au thority. Tho compounding and aato of medicines, the reporter found by Inquiry, can bo reduced to a ystem of alaiont absolute Immunity from accident. The precautions taken byCuwell, Hazard & Co., who are among the Dual eminent drugglata of tbe city, aro o perfect tbit tbey are detailed here aa an eximplo of how the publlo raly bo protected and to show that there are stores where eveu the moat nerv ous may leave tbelr prescriptions to be made up without tbe slightest uneasiness about errors. Un der tbelr stern and rigid aystem assistants are held to such strict accountability and to such positive rules of action tbst It la almost impossible for errors to oc cur. All tbo powerful drugs, quinine, morphine, etc., are tested lu the laboratory before going Into stock. Tbe firm Is thus certain that drags purcbssed are of tbo reputed or required purity and strength. All drugs going from tbe laboratory to tha general atock are carefully checked to Insure the right srtlcle being placed In tbe right drswer or bottle. Ksch prescrip tion presented is numbered ou tha back and a check with corresponding number Is given the costomer. When tbe prescription is made up tbe compounding clerk leaves tha bottles cootalnlog the different Ingre dients ou tbe counter, with the compound In front of them, Tbe check clerk holds tbe prescription, while the compounding clerk calls from memory tba name aud quantity of each Ingredient, tba former check. Ing the items and verifying tbe names on each bottle with those In the prescription. When this Is done, the rheck clerk, who Is au experienced druggist, exsm lues the compound as to sppearanca and quality. With powerful Doleons tha check clerk stands liv tha acalea to note tba weight or watch and verify tbe drops In a case of liquids. It Is not possible for medicine to he wrongly given out, atnoa the customer on presenting tbe check receives the compound of tbe asms number. Human precautions could not go to greater length. It will not be a surprise to old New Yorkers to learn these facts, nut they are Important as showing the publlo what may be dona for tbelr protection, and gratifying In tbe Justice tbey do to an airrauy enuocui nrni. fl, J ineunr.
