THE RUTLAND WEEKLY HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 187L 8 A Cool Hand, AN INCIDENT OF THE MICHIGAN FIRE. A man named Allison "Weaver, who reached Detroit froiii Port Huron on the I8th, had a curious escape from being roasted alive in the north wood?, His etoryid thua told in the Detroit Free Press. Weaver is a tinplo man, about fifty years old, and served all through the war in an Ohio regiment of infantry. Up to two weka ago he wag at work for a man named Bright, ten miles from Forestville, as fireman for a shingle mill. Two or three days before the approach of the fUmep, which eventually destroyed that nection. Bright and his family left for Forestville, and the next day all the men employed about the place either followed his example or wade haste to reach their homes. On leaving. Bright informed his men that the fire would sweep that way, and warued them to lose no time in mak ing their escape. Having no property to lose or family to care for, Weaver deter mined, as be says, "to stay and see the circus out," meaning that he intended saving the mill if passible. He has a stubborn sort of a spirit, and the fact that everybody else went, induced him to stay. As soon as the men left he set to work and buried all the provisions left in the bouse, and daring the day also buried the knives, belts, and other liht machinery of the mill, as well as a stove and a quantity of crockery-ware. There was a plenty of water in the vicin ity of the mill, and he filled several bar rels full, besiies wetting down the house, mill, stock, and everything which would burn, scattering several hundred pailfula of water on the grounds around the build ings. When night oame and tha fire had not appeared, be begin to jeer his absent comrades. Bat his self-conceit soon left him. About 10 o'clock the heavens were so bright that he could see the smallest objects around him, and there was a roar ing in the forests which sounded like waves beating against rocks on the Bhore. He began to suspect that he would soon receive the visit predicted, and according ly mado preparations for it. In levelling up the ground around the shingle mill, earth had been obtained by digging here and there, and Weaver went to work and dag one of these pits deep enough far him to stand up in. He then filled it nearly full of water and took care to saturate the ground around it for a distance of soveral rods. Going to the mill, he dragged out a fjur-inch plank, sawed it in two, and with the narta tihtlv covered the mouth of the little well. "I calkelated that it would be tech aud go," said he, ''but it was the best I could do." At midnight be rid everything arranged, and the r -aring then was awfnl to hear. The clearing was ten or twelve acres in ex tent, sod Weaver says that for two hours before the fire reached him there was a constant flight across the ground of small animal. As he rested a moment from giving the honse another wetting down, a horse dashed into the opening at full speed, aud made for the house, where he stopped and turned toward the fire. Wea ver could see him tremble and shake in his excitement aud terror, and felt a pity for him, After a moment the animal gave utterance to a snort of dismay, ran two or three times around the house, and then shot off into the woods like a rocket. Not long after this the fire came. Weaver stood by his well, ready for the emergen cy, yet curious to see the breaking in of the fUrnea. The roaring increased in vol ume, the air became oppressive, a cloud of d ust and cinders came showering down, and he could see theflames through the trees. It did not run along upon the ground, nor leap from tree to tree, but it came oa like a tornado, a sheet of flame reaching from the earth to the tops of the trees. As it struck the clearing be jumped into his well and closed over the planks. He could no longer see, but be could hear. He ssys that the fUmes made no bait whatever, uor ceased tbeir roaring for an instant bat be had hardly got the openiog closed before the house and mill were burning like tinder, and both were down ia 5 minutes. The smoke oran down powerfully, end bis den was so hot that he could hardly breathe. H knew that the planks above him were on fire, but, remem bering their thickness, he waited till the roaring of the flames had died away, and theu with his bend and hands turned them over and put out the fire by dashing up water with his hmda. Although it ws a cold uigbt, and the water hud at first chilled him, the bent gradually warmed it up until he sxys that he felt very comfortable. He lemaintd in his den Until daylight, frrquently turning over the plunks and putting out the fire, aud then the worst had pxssed. The earth around was on fiie in spots house and mill were gone; leaves, brush and logs were swept tlean away as if shaved off, and swept clean with a broom, and nothiug but coot nod unties wore to be awn. Alter tbe fire had somewhat cooled off, Weitver uiarte no investigation of his caches mid font d that considerable of his property hud been saved, although he lost all bis provision t xcept a piece of dried beef.whU'.h the tire hud cooked as in mo oven without spoiling. Ha hud no other resource than to remain around the place thai dy, during the night, mid the great er pari of t hi- next day, when the ground bad cooled enough so that he could pick bis wy to tie site of the burned village He wt.s nearly twelve hours going the twelve miles, as trees were frilling, logs were burning, and the fallen timber b in some pi noes heaped up a breastwork O er which uu one could climb. Mary Clemmer Ames in the Independent Alice t'arj'uLvve. THE FACTS ABOUT HER RELATIONS WITH KUFU8 W. GKISWOLD. A story under the title of the 'Un known Love of Alice Gary," in th news papers) is still traveling tbrouh the leiigihif tie land. It asserts that in hop youih she was fffiiDoed to Uutos W GriswolJ that he Was false to her for snking Lr for a woman of the world; thit lot after whin he return d to New York tiin.'tlts poor and sick, she for gave hiui the great wrong be had done, and nursed him till he died. Ihi ttior, in many conflicting phases, was often, to her preat annoyance, told of her doring b r life. The fact that Rufus W. Gris wold did in 1 i last will bequeath to her bit personal ttb.cts was made much of iu printed aud pri? ate circles, aud used as uu unanswerable roof that at one time ne naa oeen rer jover. wuhin a week I have read a letter to the New York Evening Post, that the will proved the love auo relationship between the two persons beyond a doubt. Yet no less, in its foundation, the story ia false. y x i Atiierring to it once, wr lie we two set alone together, Alice said to me "I will tell you jut the truth. If you ever think it neosary, you can tell it. Be reavement in death and in life had made ber Western home too desolate to be borne. These, with the impulse of the brave will that served her to the last, brought her to New York to make not the life that she would have chosen for herself, yet a life worthy to be lived. "Ignorance stood me in the stead of courage," be said. "Had I known the great world as I have learn ed it since. I should not have dared; but I didn t. Thus I came." Tbe leading liter a(ert that time was Dr. Rof us Oriswld. He hsd compiled the books called 'The Female Fiose Writers and 'The Female Poets of America.' He was sharply on the lookout for every new genius in liter ature that appeared. He had visited the sisters in their Ohio home, and in 1850 obtained a publisher for their first vol ume, and bad added both their names, with selections from their poems, to his Own ''Poets of America TT. W- j muowr every- thing necessary to their -moors in the sphere of labor which they hd ehoseo, while they praotioally knew next to noth ing. He encouraged and helped thetn in many- ways, and thus commanded their gratitude. For Alice to inaur a debt of gratitude was to pay it, even t th cost other life. Yet even the good wiil of one type of man to a woman is often a misfortune. Her soul maybe white as enow; yet he cannot take her innocent name upon his lips without t-mircbing it with somewhat of his own vibnt ss. His vanity has been flittered ty idle women, till conquest has become not omy me habit, but the necessity, of his morbid and miserable soul till, where he knows he has not wen it, he yet is baee enough to boast of it. Such a man (juagrtng oy every record left of him) was Rufm W. Griawold. He was a man of poetic tem perament, of fine scholarship, of generous impulses, and in certain directions of rare gifts yet no less he was a man of fickle fancies, of violent temper, which oiten fell upon his dearest friends of monstrous vanity, and of nngoverned passions. 'I was never engaged to him in marriage I never loved him,' said Alice Cary to me. 'I could not have loved stlch a man, though I learned him in his beat phases. I came to pity him, because he was his own worst enemy. As a inena x owe mm mucD, ana before his death I found it in my power to pay back in part my large debt of grati tude. When he returned to flew iotk, poor and sick, with certain death before bim, I, with Miss hired a room and nurse for bim. From that they have made the romantic story of my nursing him for unrequited love. It was old Betsey who nursed him. You know how big and strong she is yet even she became worn out, for bis sickness was long and very painful. Many unkind, even cruel things have been said because be willed to me his personal effcts. Besides tlie books and pictures which be bequeathed to the Historical Society, these were all that he posseseed, and he left them to me not more out of personal regard than from a desire to repay as far us he was able the money which I had expended for bis com fort during his long sickness.' Ia the pro- foundest sense Alice Carey never loved but once. The man whom she loved is still alive yet gossip, with its keenest s".ent, has never found or named him. With all her fullness of aflection, hers was an eclectic and solitary soul. He who, by the very patent of his being, was more to her than any other mortal could be, might pass from her life, but no other could ever take his place. A proud and prosperous family brought all their pride and power to boar on a sou to prevent his marrying a girl uneducated, rustio and poor. 'I waited for ono who never came back,' she said, 'yet I believed he would come until I read iu a paper his marriage to another. Can you think what life would be loving one, waiting for one who would never come 1' He did come at last. I saw him. His wifa had died. Alice was dying. The gray-haired man sat down beside the gray-haired woman. Life had dealt prosperously with him, as is its wont with men. Suffering and death bad taken all from bar save the lus ter of her wondrous eyes. From her wnn and wasted face they shone upon him full of tenderness and youth. Thus they met with life behind them they who parted plighted lovers when life was young. He was the man whom she forgave for her blighted and weary life, with a smile of parting as divine as ever lit the face of woman. JVotes of the Day.

This term will strike the Eastern reader unpleasantly for it is associated in his mind with bare fields, stack-yards, frozen earth, and shivering cattle. In the trans-Missouri country, we have a vast region where winter grazing is a fixed fact, without any of the disagreeable accompaniments of the rainy and snowy climates east of the Mississippi. The eastern limit of this climate is about the 98th degree of longi tude west from Greenwich, which crosses the Union Pacific R. R. near brand Is land. Nearly all the country west of this line, extending from Texas far into the British Possessions, is one vast natural pasture the year round. The climate is not well understood by manv of our East ern people. It is entirely unlike that of the Atlantic and Mississippi V alley states. Judged by our standards at the East, four-fifths of this region would be unin habitable on account of its elevation above the sea level. Ou this coast, seven thou sand feet would be about the snow line. In the Rocky Mountains it is nearly twice that hight. They have good sum mer weather in its season at ten thousand feet above the sea level, and it is only the cool night3 that make the raising cf Indian corn impracticable. The terminal line of vegetation on the White Mountains is about 5,000 feet, on the Alleghanies 5,500 feet. The grasses grow luxuriantly on the Rocky Mountains up to ten thou sand feet, and we have seen a heavy growth of timber on Pike's Peak, and on other summits, as far up as 12.000 feet, and a smaller growth of evergreens 15.000 fret high. In the North, South, and Mid.lle Parks, eight to ten thousand fWt above the sea level, the winters are less sever thau in the Atlantic States. The rainfall over the greater part of this region is about twenty inches annually, and the larger part falls in the month of May. This gives the grasses a vigorous start, and in June they are fully matured. By the 1st of September these grasses have become a perfectly cured hay, as nutri tious as any the Eastern farmer puts into his stacks or barns The proof of its ex cellence is the fact that thousands of sheep and cattle feed upon it all winter, and come out in the spring ripe for the butcher. There is none of that pining which is in separable from all out-door feeding in winter in the Fastern States. There are not only the bunch and gramma grasses, but the species are numerous, and every valley has its complement of them. This fact of abundent fodder for all gram inivorous animals is as well estatlibed as any fact in our agriculture It is i his which makes this vast rpgion so attractive to the stock-grower. Ameruan Agricul turist. To Make Boys Good Farm,.ki The American Agriculturist says In duce them to take an interest iu the farm, in the impliments. in the stock tell them all your plans, your successes and failures give them a history of your own life and what you did, and how you liyed when a boy but do not harp too much on the degenerate character of young men cf the present age praise them when you can, and encourage them to do still better. Let them dress up in the evening instea 1 of sitting down in their dirty clothes in a dirty room. Provide plenty of light Thanks to kerosene our country home can be as bnliiautly lighted as the gas lit residences in the city. Encourage the neighbors to drop in evenings. Talk agriculture rather than politics speak ot the importance of large crops, of goo.i stock, of liberal feeding, and of the advunt age of making animals comfortable, rath -r than of the hard limes, low prices ar.u high wages. Above, all, encmiriige tiie boys to read good agricultural books. Papers are well enough, but ait intelligent boy wants something more. Get him some good agricultural book to sttn'y. Head it with him, and give him the bene fit of your experience and criticism. Wh-i. he has mastered this, give him anoth-r. In our own case we owe, our love foi farming principally to the fact that our father told us of everything that h was doing on the farm answering all the questions, and encouraging rather than refusing, our child like des;re .f helping him to plough, to chop, to let od watei. and fire the brush heap.

From a child I have beentubject to palpitation of the heart, and for the past few y-ars have continued to grow worse, palpitation being fol lowed by dizziness and suffocation, so much t-o that if I attempted to lie down my heart would seem to cease beating en'irely, causing great prostration. I was ob iged to have a phy ician in attendance for nearly a ear. At last he ad vised me to try Dr. ORAVEV HEART KrGU LATOR, which I d'd, and have not taken any othr medicine since.

Probably never before in the wvo'e history of medicine, has anything wn so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy fer pulmonary complaints. Through a 'ong series of years, and among most of the race, ot men it has risen higher and hi her in their estimation, as it has become bet er known. Its unifoim character and power to cure the various affections of the lungs and throat, hav. made it known as a reliable protector against them. W hile adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at tbe use tune the most effectual remea y that can be given for in cipient consumption, and the dangerous affec tions of the throat and lung. As a provision against sudden attacks of Cionp, it should be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all are sometimes subject U colds and coughs, ail should be provided with this antidote for them. Although settled Consumpfon is thought in curable, still great numbers of cases where tbe disease seemed settled, have been completely cured and the patient restored to sound hea'th by the Cherry Pectoral, to complete is its mastery over the disorders of the LuDgs and Throat, that that the most obstinate ot them yield to it. When nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear. Singers and Public speakers find great protec tion from it. Asthma ia always relieve! and often wholly cured by it. BroEchitia ia generally cured by taking the Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses. For a Cough and Cold, no better remedy can be had. Take small doses three times a day and put th. feet in warm water at sight, until the disease ia broken up. For influenza, when it affects the throat ot lungs, take tbe same course. For Whooping Cough, give small doses three or four time a day. ror Croup, give large and frequent doses until the disease is overcome. Ho family should be without tbe Cherry Pecto ral on hand to protect ibem. In case of attack, from th ah. v com tlair.t.
