SEVEN CHILDREN POISONED TO DEATH BY
I1RINKINO FROM A STREAM POLLUTED
Willi DEAD ANIMALS.
A party of nine children drank Wednes
day from a brook at Newark, Vt., 10
miles from Island Pond, the waters of
which had been polluted by the carcases
of a horse and several sheep and were
poisoned. Seven died soon after, their
bodies becoming putrid and requiring
immediate burial. The others cannot
survive. A Mr. Morse lost two children.
Mr. Carpenter three, and two more are
reierred to as dying, taking his entire
family. Mr. Aldrich lost two. There is
great excitement in the community.
Several other children were poisoned,
though not fatally, by drinking from the
same brook a few days before as will be
seen by referring to our State items.
A later report says that 27 children
re sick as a result of diinking from the
bror-k. and that not half of them will
recover. It is said that potato tops poi
soned with Paris green have been thrown
into the brook.

it is now believed that he will recover.

Brattlelioro's valuation this year is
$2,524,300 an increase of $74,500 over
last year, which is due to the method
pursued by the listers, in bringing per
sonal proporty, money at interest, etc.,
to the light. This, with an increase of
51 in tiic number of polls, very nearly
makes up for the falling off by the quaj
rendium appMsal of real estate last year,
and will yield the town $14,000 in taxes
this year, instead of $13,600, as calcu
lated at the town meeting. The benefits
of this year's method of listing are so
obvious, that we hope it will not only be
continued here but adopted in every
other town of the State, as the law un
questionably authorizes it. A similar
method was tried in New Hampshire
this year, and the returns show that $10.-
000,000 of interest money, hitherto un
taxed have been unenrili, d; a million
and a half of it in Cheshire County
alone. It can be made one of the surest
equalizers ot taxation.

Rev. G. E. Martin's address which
followed, was both scholarly and

months from the landing of the oil

the other ot an inordinate and destruc

slavery northward until the meeting in
lines of battle. Tbe speech was nearly
free from partisan bias, and when allu

and arrested to answer to a charge
of bastardy at Pittsfield. He
waived bis examin ition and his father
became his bondsmen to tbe court and
gave his check for $600. Now it turns
out that after father and son got back to
New York state, the father stopped pay

be has a valid bond, and that Burrows
will have to return to the superior court.
MORE INCENDIARISM AT NORTH ADAMS.
A fire was set about 10 o'clock Tues
day morning in a shed in tbe rear of the
"brick row" on Church street, within a
few feet of tbe chapel of the Congrega
tional church, which it was evidently
intended to burn, but by seasonable dis
covery it was quelled with about $150
damage. At the same time a fire was
discovered in a sleigh standing in the
barn of Oliver Arnold, who had a barn
bnrued last winter, but it was extin
guished without difficulty, and $10 will
cover the loss. An attempt was also
made to burn the barn of M. R. Dowling
on neasint street Dy setting nre to a
quantity of paper in the water-closet,
which occupies one corner of the barn,
but the would-be incendiaries, in going
out. closed the door, and the fire died
out, so that it was not discovered until
Tuesday forenoon.
A fellow giving his name as C. H.
Smith of Boston, and representing bis
father to be a wealthy Boston produce
dealer, engaged a team of Liveryman
Michael Murphy of No. Adams early
last week, and rode about the county
several days contracting for butter, eggs,
vinegar, apples, etc. of the farmers at
fancy prices. He directed the farmers
to deliver their goods in Pittsfield Mon
day, where they were to receive their
pay. But when the farmers got there
their customer was not to he found, and
many of them rather than return with
their stock sold it to the local traders for
whatever they could get, and meanwhile
the liveryman finds that the fellow has
run away with his team.

FOOD vs. MDICLVE.
THE HEALTH FOOD CO., of
New York, tuk Intelligent Individuals who
may be suffering from diseasa, to inquire whether
relief ia not more likely to come to them through
scientifically prepared food, than through drug
medication.
COLD BLAST WHOLE WHEAT
FLOUR.
This flour is made from the choicest wheat, the
scaly hulls alone being peeled from the grain, no
nutriment whatever being removed with them.
No human stomach can emulsify wheat hulls.
This flour ia neither robbed of iu power and vi
tality or mingled with Its indigestible and irritat
ing trash : contains all the elements of the whole
grain, rich in blood and muscle-making capacity,
and to such as employ it, bread will be as never
before, "the staff of life."
This ia the Graham of the future.
WHITE WHEAT GLUTEN.
The hulls and starch being removed by careful
processes, the gluten alone remains. This ia the
pure nitrogen of vegetable kingdom, and is now'
erlulasa builder up of weak and delicate per
sons, Decause it makes payee Mood.
For Nursing Mothers aud for Infanta it la inval

It is a sure and positive o ure for Constipation
and Piles of the worst kind, and without the use
of drugs In any form.

Hud by feeding we cure them.
