kr hai been' iscovered that much of
the sewing silk put on the market, has
had its weight increased by the addition
of sugar of leid, and as that ingredient
has a pleasant, sweetish taste, persons
using the thread are apt to form the habit
of keeping it in their months and there::
by causing lead poisoning. The malady
is indicated by a blue line on the gums, a
furred tongue, intimation of the lips and
general debility. Our - seamstresses
should take warning from this, and not
get in the habit of keeping bits .of
thread in their months, a practice that is

CLINT DEWITT is just a& good-natnri
and generous as he is large in size—and
he ways somewhetetnigh unto three
dred pounds. Clint is likewise the owner
of several of the best . blooded horses in
the State, and no one knows better how
to handle a good, or bad horse, than - doe's
he. .Clint also knows that prinfeo
dom own horsesmore's
_the pity—and
especially the prihters of this village.
And so, one balmy day lait week, when
an overcoat was not a " positive necessity
to one who went sleighing, Clint took a
representative ftpm each. of the three
leading newspapers of our vilh.ge, for a
"glide" o'.ol 'the beautiful, and to receive
a practical demonstration of the fact that
" David Hume" and mate can trot a mile
insidk of four minutes,'and draw'a sleight•,'
and fonr persons in it at the same time.
It was a slendid ride. We hold ourselves.
in readiness to participate in another like
it at any time, and if we were wealthy we
would buy "David Hume," because we
admire a good horie. There is n'ver a
sweet without its sour, however. In less
than one hour after the above named par
ty had returned from - their brief recrea
tion, it was the current tumor on the
street that Clint DeWitt had been hired
by the Commissioners to - Convey three in:
digent persons over to the County House
at Burlington.

ter.
The committee appainted yesterday re
ported the following resolutions, which
atter discussion were adopted
Refolredi That the necessity of vigor
ous and united effort on the part .f the
produchig„claitges, in reference to the great
abuses practiced—by Railr.md COmpanies,
in' unemittitutional, unjust and: unequal
charges fOr zraimportation, and in giving
free passes to our public officials, is: now
more - pparent than ever. In regard to
free :passes. we think the railroad com
panies in. thus violating Our State Co:insti
tution are not more culpable than our
lmblic servants, who receive the bounty
and spend at least one third of the time
of the legislative session in :the railroad
cars, and away from their public business.
•
gek-fired, That the ele 1
mmits' of — the

communities to be examined in th&above .
science.- •
Since education is one of the prom
inent features of the Grange, that -it is
the duty ''of . each subordinate Grange to
interest itself -in the character ; qualifica
tions and experience of thy' 'teach er
ployed,tb teach it .its vicinity , to the end
that our children be educated to be good
and loyal citizens, efficient men and influ
ential and successful farmers.
.3d.7 That the Worthy Master appoint,at
