A correspondent ot the St. Albans Advertiser learns that the wife of Mr. James Uojcc, of Ilichford, attempted suicide by poisoning, while ut Abercorn, V. on the 5th icst. Sho was alive at la-t account.

States Attorney" Pauiek went home, jestcrday, tick with fver, and it is feared that he will not be able to take up the criminal cases in the County Court, when the civil cacs arc finished. In that cae, it will probably become ncccsry to hold an ndjourncd term of the court. Tns laws of Vermont are silent upon the abject cf reprieves, bat the constitution provide that the Governor shall have power to irrant pardons and remit fioes, in all caMH whatsoever, except in treason and mar-It r. in which he shall have power to grant reprieve, but not to pardon, until after the end of tho next session of Acscm My" St. Allans Better Market, April 10.

Monday fuu noon, Chauncey Alfred, of Fairfax, was found in his father's barn in the bead, apparently by his own band, as a revolver was tound lying near him. The ball lodged in his head near the eve.

The young man is about 20 years old, and no cause is known lor the act. At last accounts he was alive, but in a critical condition. craws, the Boston pawn-broker, at whoso place Phair pawned Mrs. Frieze's watch, denies Phair 's statement that he was identified by Abrams by his photograph, and says he went to Vermont tho Monday following the murder and picked Phair out from among fifteen men in one room in the jail. Tho Rutland Herald publishes fac similes of the signature F.Smith, St.

Albans, on the register of tho Adams House, in Boston, supposed to have been written by Phair, and the same words written by Phair. in Rutland jail; and after seeing them we can well believe, as has been said, that the man has yet to ba found who has seen tho two who does not bclicre that Phair was "Smith, and the murderer ol Mn.

It is tated that some of the people who believe there wasn't any reil ground for reprieving John P.

Mrs. Nantelle was seriously hurt, receiving a severe wound in the fore- bead, and a bad injury to the back of her neck. Mr. Kantcllo escaped unhurt. Patox, tho West Rutland murderer, has been found guilty of manslaughter.

Tho penalty is imprisonment for not Ies than seven years and may be for life in the dis cretion of the court. Tho Rutland Herald says Paton has every reason to be satisfied with tho result of his trial, while the friends of McCuc, tho murdered man, are disposed to growl and that it is thought that Paton will receive a sentenco of ten or twelve years.

At the close of tho Windham County Court, on Tuesday, Wooley, the fratricide, was sentenced to imprisonment for life Townshcad to 20 years and Stone to 12 years at hard labor in the State Prison, for arson, in Dummerston, lat February. Stone confessed to having set the fire. being hired to do so by Townshend. Sen tence was not pronounced upon Lewis, convicted of murder, bis cao going to the Supreme Court upon exceptions. Arling, who testified against him at the trial, has made a statement to tho jailer and others since finding he is not to bo set at liberty, saying that ho was hired to testify as he did by others, and threatened by defectives and others with trial as principal in tho crime if he did not do so.

He now says there was not a word of troth in his testimony regarding seeing Lewis have morphine on the day Deming died, or that he told him ho was going to use it upon Deming. lie na way Accident. As Mr. Bishop Comstock and his son, Daniel of Essex, were driving into town, Monday p. on Winooski avenue, their horses became frightened just as they crossed Pearl street, by tho breaking of a wbifiletree, and became unmanageable.

On investigation, be found that tho bullet after entering tbo window on tho east side had broken some lamp chimneys, glanced on the shelving, struck in another part of tho room and then fallen to tho floor. It was a No. 2 cartridge bullet, fitting a caliber of 32-100 of an inch. Undoubtedly it was fortcnate that no one was In the store at the time.

There is as yet no clue to the person firing the shot, nor can any cause for the occurrence bo assigned other than that of a reckless use ol firo arms, probably in the hands of boy-. John P.

For this occasion Mr. Phillips brought down an ac cession from the number ol his Montptlicr pupils, and a very valuable addition it wa. Careful attention has been given to vocal music in Montpelier.

for many car-i and the results arc manifest. Few places of its size could have sent us more acceptable soprano than Mrs. Brings or a finer male ouartctte than the Arion Quartette. The concert opened with the Soldiers Chorus from Faut, given with spirit and cood effect. No- 2, was a piano duett by Prof.

Wood and Miss Warner, a cousin and pupilof his, from Sprinffisl J.wo believe. She hasa clear strong touch, and good execu tion. Neitcamo tho Montpelier quartette, They sung "What Beams so bright?" by Kreutzcr, and in response a to hearty encore gavo the "Toa-t" by 'Miner. Mrs. Eriggs next sing thc'Birdoi Love" a pretty thing, with an echo refrain.

This lady has a sweot, strong voice, which she handles exceedingly well, attempting nothin; which she doe3 not accomplish, and doing decided credit in her stylo to her instructor Mr. rhillips. Her song was enthusiastically applauded and in response she sang a stanza of 'My mother bids me bind my hair. No 5, was "Tho Hunters Song," a pretty duett, which gavo good play to Mi-s Picrson's nice soprano and Mi-s Lane strong alto. It was heartly applauded.

No. o', was Kucktn's "Farewell" for two female and two male voices. It is a goodthin and was excellently sung. Mr. Frederick Bancroft, of Montpelier, then sang "Tho birds aro telling one another." Mr.

Bancroft hasonc of the finest tenor voices this side of Boston, clear, fine grained and sustained; it showed finely in his song. Of course ho was encored, and sang in respon-c The La of Richmond Hill." No. 8. was a quartette for female voices sung by Misses Lawrence, Towce, Lane and Hatch. It went only passably.

Next came tho Arion Quartette, in the "Night Song" by Abt a rather sombre thing, which would be likely to grow on one in several times hearing. Mr. Phillips had perhaps the heartiest encoro of tho evening for his sons, Shall my darling be," and gave in response "The Fisher by Meyerbeer. Mr. Phillips alwajs sings well.

and he sang particularly well lat evening. Next came the gem of tho tvening, Reich- art's beautiful quintette, "The Imago of the Rose." In this, Mrs. Briggs voico showed eft" finely acalnst tho background of richly harmonized malo voices which made a sort of orchestral accompaniment a vocal orchestra, so to speak. It was sung with admirable shading and expression, and was greatly enjoyed by all. No.

I- was the chorus from Hernani, 'Crowncl with the Col. Hindes gave tho fcas recitative in excellent style, and the chorus was good. The tb-ing piece was the solo and chorus "Hear My Prayer," by Men delssohn. It is a rich thing, giving a good deal of work to the leading soprano, which Mrs. Bricgs was fully equal to; and the chorus did their part with praiseworthy precision.

Prof. Wood accompanied the various pieces on the piano. The programme was a fresh and varied one. Tbo pieces followed rapidly, and all occupied but an hour and a quarter, sending the audience a large and cultivated one) borne in good season, without weariness, and showing every sign of gratification and delight. The Ilarmjnic Society is doiDg a good work in our city.

Tare Notice, that tho number of Policies issued by the Vermont Life Insurance Company cf Burlington, Vermont, during tho first three months of 1S77, is ninrfy two greater than during the corresponding three months of last year, and that tho amouat of insurance written for tho same period ot time is $117, WO, in crass of the amount written tluriny the year lb7G' This unprecedented degree of success may bo briefly accounted for by tho following facts: Tho Vermont Life Insuranco Company is prudently and economically managed; is sound, secure, and strong its finances; all its Policies aro non-fjrf citable; it is actually controlled and supervised by its Board of Director and that our aeents are ablo to prove these impor tant facts to the insuring public, who, in these davs of distrust as regards life insur ance companies, very properly scrutinize the management and affairs of tho company to which they entrust their lunds.

He then went into tho grist mill, nearly opposite the blacksmith shop, and twice shot George Short, a young man about 17jears ol age, ono shut pa--ing through an arm and tbc other through his lung. Ho is now alive but is considered dangerously wuundt-d.

Arbucklo then went to his house near by and informed his mother and brother ol what be had done, and told them he bad made a will and intended to do the deed for some time. Hi brother then said to him, Ihcro comes tho Ho replied that they never would take him alive, and went out ol 'ie back door and shot himself through tL. heart, dying almost instantly. THE MUaDEKEB, Arbuckle was about jeari old and single, is we'll known in this section, and, except as being known to have a violent temper and of rather a revengeful nature, was considered otherwise as an industrious and intelligent fellow. HIS VICTIM.

Bancrolt was a good mechanic and, with tl exception of being rather violent in c-iinectiun with his family alfiirs, was a good citizen, lie was about forty years of age and has been married to bis present wile about two 3'ear. THE MOTIVES 1 OR THE CRIME. motive for shooting Short is said to bo on accouotnf Short being engaged to a young lady that Arbuckle formerly kept company with, and on account ol a collis-ion of teams, and the breaking ol wagons etc. It is not definitely known what tho real causo was (or shooting Btncrolt, bis brother-in-law, unless it be that be was not kind to his wile as he ought to be, and a natural inclination on the part of Arbuckle to be a little tiuarrclsomc. A LATER ACCOUNT, says that Arhucklo first shot Short, and then went to the shop where Baturuf was shoeing a horse, and fired tho shot p.is-ing through his arm (und into his sj Je.

Bancrolt then ran out across the road to the null, and us he reached tho door, Arbucklo fired again, the bill passing through Bancroft': temple killing him instantly. ARLrCKIE THOIOHT TO I'R 1BAM.

Mosipemfr, Vt April 11. George was shot yesterday by Arbuckle, is alive, and will probably recover. Arbuckle bad quarrelled with Bancroft who married bis (Arbuclc's) sister, and also bated Short because the latter bad cut him out in a love affair.

New York, April II. The Herald's New Orleans special say tho ill success achievrd far by the commin-ion, the impracticability cf their propositions, and the apparent lack of both power and purpose displayed, arc haviog a very bad i fleet upon the community, and unless something soon accomplished the result will bz disastrous Tho public passions are azain becoming inflimcd upon both sides. Packard openly asserts his intentions to defend his government, even if tho United States troopsaro withdrawn, and the Nicholls people arcequally determined at all hazards tj enforce their own or a military government. Both sides think themselves being trilled with. It is stated that tbe commission on Tuesday night, agreed upon a proposition to be made to both governors, to-day.

which, while adhering to the original plan, will modify terms to the extent of fusing the legislatures upon tho basis of the supervisors returns, instead of the returning board. This plan would give a democratic majority of louron joint ballot. It is added thu General G. A. Sheridan will leave lor Washington, as boarer of despatches to President Hayes, explaining the necessity of this modifieation.without which the com-mis-ion despairs of effecting a settlement.

It is not likely this proposition will tho democratic movement, which is considered to bo a shorter and better solution of the difficulty. The democrats are making efforts with a view to settling1 the question themselves by securins the acquisition of seven more returning board members, thus completing their quorum. This accomplished, they will at once pass a joint resolution confirming all previous proceedings of tho legislature and officially calling upon the President to remove tho troops. Pinchback has stated that seven of his friends in the Packard house are all ready to go over to tho Nicbolls legislature, and thev would do so on Wednesday or Thurs day. a iscw Urlcans despatch to the lribune says Packard will acccDt any comnromiso drawn by President Hayes; but if Mr.

Hayes proposes no then bo should recognise neither him nar NieholN immediately. The commission is working bard, but makes no progress toward adjustment. It Pinchback takes enough men into the NieholN legislature to-day Irom the Packard. a he nromi-cs. the nrublem will be nearly solved.
