The farmer who lias never used a low-wheeled wagon cannot understand how much more convenient they are than a high-wheeled wagon to husk corn In, haul manure or hay. They are right down by the side of you, aud not up as high as your hend. Kveryliody knows how handy it is to load a sled; It is the same with a low wagon. Some contend I hut they pull heavier than high wheels, but my experience Is that they pull Just as easy with the same kind of a load, even up hill: on very rough ground the high wheels may be best.

Until one hot day last Angnst Brad ley Newell was only the blacksmith of the little Vermont village of Jackson ville. He was just like all the other blacksmiths the village bad ever seen. From early sunrise until lute in the day he made tbe sparks fly at tbe anvil, and the children used to gather at tbe door and watch lnm put on the stagecoach that runs from Brattleboro, 20 miles away. Now they look np to him with a feeling half wonder aud awe. From one of tbe most obscure of men he has sud denly become known for hundreds of miles about as tbe blacksmith healer, who, by the laying on of bis bands, is uble to cure nearly any disease. Dozens of his townspeople attest bis cares, and hundreds from surronuding villages aud towns have felt the healing influence of his touch. A t the village tavern he is the sole topic of conversation aud is pointed ont to visitors as a man gifted with super natural powers. The blacksmith still works at his trade and stops between odd jobs that he does for the folk about the country to place his hands upon the afflicted and bid them go their way cured. N ew ell is a strikingly handsome man, large, well formed, with a frank, open face, big hazel eyes and a clear, white complexion. He himself claims nothing. A ll he knows is that be has cared. Unlike Schlatter, he does not claim to be Christ. When u«ked from where he consider ed he received his power toheal, he said: “ I don’ t know. I guess I never shall know. One day last August I was work ing in the shop, and there was a buzz ing in my ears. It was a strange, funny buzzing, a buzzing that I hud never heard before— not a buzzing and a ring ing like when yon have a cold in your bead or have heard a loud noise, but a buzzing that I can’t describe. I stopped and listened to it, aud a voice said just us clear aud distinct as any voice I ever heard; ‘ “ You can cure the sick by layiug on yonr hands. ’ “ I didn’t say anything to anybody because I was afraid that they would laugh at me. I just kept it to myself. One day not loDg after that my w ife had a headache, and the voice said to me, ‘ You can cure your w ife ,’ so 1 says kind of dubious like, ‘ Ellen, I think I can cure your headache. ’ X took her bands, held ’em on mine for a minute, and she says, kind of surprised, ‘ Why, Bradley, my headache’s all gone.’ That was the starting of it, and i t ’s been going on ever since.” The people say, no matter where the blacksmith gets his power, over 2,000 people have been treated by him since last August, when the mysterious voice first buzzed in his ears and then told him he possessed the power toheal. The spiritualists say that N ew ell is a heal ing medium and the voice that spoke to him was a spirit doctor who desired him to be under bis control. The ones who profess to know it all Bit about the tavern and say i t ’s hypnotism. Others say it ’s magnetism. While the chnrchgoing population of the little village do not lend their sup port to the healer, they do not denounce him. They claim that any power he possesses comes through God Almighty. Tbe minister of the only chnrcb in town is Miss Craven. She is a Methodist and speaks pleasantly of Newell. She does not know that the healer's power is against any of the teachings of Scrip ture, but is sure that he does not get it from the devil. When asked what kind of diseases he had cured, tbe healer said, "M ostly all kinds— rheumatism, lameness, swell ings, lieurt trouble, pleurisy, colds, tu mors, deafness and nearly every kind. ” A man from Halifax with the erysipe las, almost dead and crazed with pain, was brought to him. In five minutes bis erysipelas was gone and he left a well man. A boy named Freeman Hager, who had been nuable to move a muscle for fonr days after a case of scarlet fever, was cured by Newell. The boy's father, who had suffered for years by being hurt by a falling tree, was also cured at tbe same time. While many have claimed that tbe healer cured persons imagining they were sick, the fact that he has cored animals as well is held up by his be lievers as strong proof that this is not trne. He receives letters from all parts of tbe country, asking him to come to this or that place and do wbat he can. He seldom replies to them. He recently made a trip to Brattleboro to be gone a day, bnt so many people desired his services that he was com pelled to remain three days. Tbe healer himself never promises a c-reand never asks anybody to have faith. While not a believer in religion, Newell is not a scoffer and thinks that every man >8 entitled to believe as suits him best. Fin- all his work he does not ask a cent. I f any one desires to give him money and he feels they can afford it. he accepts it. I f they are poor, he refuses tbe money. Since he has started to heal people it is estimated be has refused at least $10.- 000. M ARKETS. The fruit and produoe whioh came in from California sold out oleau at good prioea.
