Ministerial Thief. Some towels belonging to the Hudson Rivet steamer Drew were accidentally found in the possession of a respectable-looking man at Albany, N. last week, and he was arrested. While in prison he wrote a letter to the steamboat ageut, imploring mercvon the ground that he had been a Methodist, minister in the Vermont Conference, but ill-health bad forced him to give up preaching; that he was traveling on borrowed money to his home at Burlington, and his taking the towels was from a feeling of anger at some impolite treatment from one of the boat hands.

The complaint was withdrawn, and before leaving the court-room tne unfortunate man, who gave the name of Rev. W. L. Johnson, knelt down, and invoked a blessing on all about him. Fixed for Theft.

H. P. Clark, alias Charles Hill, of Wallingford, was arrested in Rutland last week for stealing poultry in Cas-tletou, having then in his possession' a team belonging to W. S. Ballon, ot Wallingford.

He was tried on two indictments, both lines and costs amounting to $42.97. Being unable to pay the same, he was awarded days in the House ot Correction. Complaining that he would not have been a thief had he been sober, he was allowed to disclose of H. D. Crooks, who, being summoned, plead guilty of keeping with intent to sell, his line anil and costs amounting to $17.50.

Although claiming that no liquor had been sold to Hill, he pleaded guilty to three offences of selling as of the second conviction, and the fine and costs for these amounted to with an additional sentence of one month in the House ot Correction. He appealed from both sentences, giving bail in the sums of and $200. The Murder of Alice Meaker. During the past week the prosecuting officers have been busily engaged in completing the chain of proof against the mother and son, and some important links have been discovered. The most direct evidence thus far discovered, implicating Mrs.

Meaker, is the testimony of a voung man named Charles Thompson, who lives with his mother in a house formerly owned by George W. Randall, situated near the river, about a mile and a halt below Waterbury village. He savs that on the evening of the murder, abuut half xast ten o'clock, he was returning home from" the village on foot. On a flat before getting to the Henry hill he was overtaken, and passed, by a team containing three persons. One ot them ne recognized as Almon Meaker, and the oth.

ertwo were females, one larger than the other. Almon was driving. He also recognized the horse as being a black mare owned by Mr. Bates, the livery stable man for seven or eight years, with which he was very familiar-It was bright moonlight, and he could see objects very plainly. The team passed him on a trot, and went up the Henry hill, getting more and more ahead of him until it was out of sight.

To his surprise, on coming to the brow of the hill, he found himself right upon the team, which had apparently been standing slill for some little time. The occupants seemed to perceive him. and started up again on a trot. It will be remembered that Aimon pointed out a spot upon the hill, just betore reaching Mrs. Henry's, as the place where they gave Alice tue poison, and it is now believed that tney stopped the team while they mixed it, anti while she drank it.

This may become strong evidence towards implicating Mrs. Meaker in the murder. Tnere is one horrible incident connected with tlie murder, which was accidentally omitted from our account of last week. During the ride which sheriff Atherton and Almon took on tue Tuesday morning after the murder, upon coming to' the spot "where Almon said the child died. Mr.

Atherton gathered that thev had stopped there some time before proceeding to tlie muck hole. He asked Almon about ii, and he said, "Yes, we waited here till She died." He made the remark as coolly as one might speak of the death of a rat. This incident gives a more vivid idea of the devbshness of tlie crime than anything which has yet came to light. It is almost impossible to believe that two human beings could have sat iu that team, and listened by the calm light to the dyi.ig agonies of that little chilfl without even a throb ot pity, or a pang of remorse, can any punishment be too severe for such cold blooded malignitv? The "cup," from which the poison was ad-ministered to Alice turns out to be a small crockery mug, with the words "Remember me" inscribed upon it in gilt letters. It was a present to the little ifirl from her mother.

Almon took it home after the murder, and it was found in tiie house a day or two alter their arrest. Horace C. Meaker, the father, and Nellie, the daughter, have bten examined betore Justice J. K. Fullerton, and their depositions taken as to their connection with the affair.

Both asserted their absolute innocence. Horace stated that he went to bed at about half eight on the Fridav evening in question, and knew nothing of Alice's disappearance until the next morning. Nellie swore that she had been staying at Alfred Cutler's, in Orange, and did not return until the Sarnrdav afternoon after the murder, on the express train from Montpelier. The funeral of the little victim took place at Meaker's house, last week Wednesday. There was a large attendance.

The services were most appropriately conducted bv Rev. S. H. Wheeler, Congregationalist, of Water-bury. The remains were enclosed a pretty coffin, and were interred in the cemetery at Dux bury- Corner.

On Monday, Nellie Meaker paid a visit to her mother and brother in jail. It was of course an affecting interview. The old ladv affirmed ber innocence, and Nellie believes that she is faultless. Almon has asked several to prav for him. and for a time, at least, appeared to be very penitent.

lion. Charles H. Heath has been associated with E. F. Palmer as counsel.

The examination will take place at Waterbury next Monday. Mrs. Meaker, it seems, was born in Barre, and it is reported that her husband was also, sue was a Bates, aim is said to be a sister of Allen Bates, of Barre. The mother of the murdered girl, witn oeorge Germatne, of Burlington, whom she married six wetks ago, has been after the p-y ear-old bov Henry, brother of Alice. The Meaner seemed reluctant to give the bov up, and the Overseer of the Poor or Charlotte, who let the two children to Horace Meaker last year, has written a letter, ordering lie boy not to be given to the mother.

Mr. Germaiue has engaged counsel, and will bring the matter imo Court if the boy is not restored to her. depredations of midnight marauders. It will not, when law-abiding citizens shall do their duty, or when the moral and Christian sentiment of the State shall set its face as a flint against the moral and political corruptions ot the hour. $3iPMr.

Hayes has sent a message to Congress vetoing the Immediate Deficiency bill, because it contains the clause making Deputy Marshals intended for use at the polls on election day non-partisan, and makes the Courts the appointing power. What R. B. Hayes and his party wants not fair elections, but everything partisan. The Washington correspondent of the St.

Albans Advertiser writes to that paper as follows Kernrning- Pennsylvania Congressmen say that the first vote of the delegation from that State to Cincinnati will be given for General Hancock. The General has besides these the votes of Louisiana, Texas, aod Vermont reasonably certain for him, with the whole or a large part of the votes of the several Southern States, and many Delegates from the North. The triends of the General in this city are very conrident. Col. McClure.

than whom nobody knows more about Pennsylvania politics, says that both Wallace and Randall are quite content that the delegation from that State shall be just as it is, tbat it is as nearly an independent delegation outside of Philadelphia as it is possible these days, and that nearly or quite all of them woidd support either Wallace or Randall in anything that is just. There are probably a few out-and-out Edmunds men iu Vermont, more because they would feel some pride in having a Vermonter nominated for that office than from any expectation that Edmunds could possibly be elected. But the Boston Transcript asserts that on most of them the Edmunds veneer is very thin, and that there is as much hypocrisy in politics as in religion, a very mild way of suggesting that the Edmunds' boom is a tail for some other body's kite. SThe Democratic Conventions of the past week put a brighter phase upou the Presidential prospects. They practically settle the question that the democratic party will go into the contest thoroughly united.

Such is the outlook in Pennsylvania, where a fierce war has been waged between Speaker Randall and Senator Wallace, which is now ended by a mutual compromise of all the warring elements. Such also, we confidently believe, will be the result in New York, since the bone of contention is practically taken out of the contest. The candidate nominated at the Cincinnati Convention will be a man whom Democrats all over the Union will delight to honor, and whose name will not only be a tower of strength to tlie party, but an assurance of victory. EThe Brattleboro Record says that at the recent Democratic State Convention feeling was quite jubilant, and 'Hancock was about the only candidate -seriously talked of. while the Phoenix had the following Local Democrats, who were present at the Vermont State Democratic Convention last week, assert that the sympathies of the Convention were unmistakably with Tilden, and not with Hancock, ai was at first represented in the press despatches.

If those "local Democrats'" will look at the vote on that Start resolution, as we publish it this week, they will see that the Convention teas with Hancock," just tfcas was first represented in the press But there was not the least enmity to Mr. Tildeu in that being "with Hancock," it being simply the opinion of the large majority of the Democrats of Vermont that Gen. Hancock would, all the circumstances taken into account, be the strongest candidate. KPTlie Democrats of Pennsylvania held their State Convention last week, and the result was most auspicious, betokening Democratic supremacy in that State. For some years the Republicans have carried the State by the majorities received or declared in Philadelphia, where a quarrel between the adherents of Speaker Randall and Senator Wallace has made it possible for the Republicans to do just as they pleased.

This quarrel hatt also extended through the State. At the Convention last week there was a genuine reconciliation, and Messrs. Randall and Wallace shook hands in the presence of the Convention, which act was greeted with uproarious cheers. Of the result of the choice of Delegates to the National Convention the Boston Post had the following: The Democratic delegation from Pennsylvania to Cincinnati will, in all probability, stand 3S against and 'ju lor Tilden's nomination. These are senator Wallace's figures, and they are not denied nor controverted by any statement of the Tilden men.

Mr. Randall just about reverses these figure, but our judgment is that they are about correct. Of the 39 all but two are for Hancock.

Joseph Jefferson, the inimitable, without, a peer in the justly celebrated play of "Rip Van Winkle," is to appear at the Howard Opera House, Burlington, next Monday evening, for the second time this season. Those who have never seen Jefferson in his great specialty should not fail to avail themselves of this opportunity, while those who have seen him will want to see him again.

Resolution of the resolution relative to General Hancock that Captain R. H. Start introduced into the Vermont Democratic State Convention, has caused some to state that if it had been pushed to a vote it would have beeu defeated. Others, as notably a special pleader in the New York Sun. have said that it was "smothered." evidently mean ing to have it understood that the ma jority of the delegates were not for it.

This led to the issue of the following circular: Office of arofs and Patriot. Mostpelikr, Vt. April 2s. issn. Dear Sir: As von will a Start, oi Burlington, introduced the lol lowing resolution into the recent Democratic State Convention: Rewired.

To avoid complications, and prevent acri monious attacks that might have been made on other candidates, friends of Gen. Hancock and others, as you are aware, begged that it might be withdrawn, or referred to the Committee on Resolutions, which last was done, witn meeonseoroi capt.

As will he seen, it was neither a resolution of instruction to the Delegates to Cincinnati, or in any way calculated to embarrass them in voting for whoever they may deem best, but simply au expression of who the Democrats of Vermont deem the best man, as at present advised.

And this preference is simply because they think him the best man for the nomination, not because of any enmity towards any of the others of the eminent men named for that nomination, any one of whom they will cheerfully and earnestly support, if the nominee. Several of the responses we publish in full, and on reading them it will be seen that even some of those voting "110" are in favor of the nomination of Gen. Hancock: Derby, Afay 3. 18tt.

Start, as I understood It then as to Ils adoption, I should have voted "no." feeling that the Convention had chosen Delegates to Cincinnati who would act for the best Interests of the partv, if they weut there uniiistructed and unpledged. But If the resolution was onlv meant to test the leellmrs of the Convention, should vote In favor of It, although my flrst choice is Bavard, second Hancock. H.

N. PercivaIi. Corinth, May While I preterred to have our Delegates go to the National Convention uniiistructed aud unpledged. I was lu favor of a resolution complimentary to Gen. W.

8. Hancock, for his distinguished services to the coimtrv, and expressing our confidence in his Integrity, aiillltv, and eminent fitness for the ottlce of Chief Magistrate of the. nation. I suggested the propriety of such a resolution In the Committee on Resolutions, and should have voted for the resolution of Captain Start. George M.

Dearborn. I was the person who arose after 'apt. Start sat down, aud some one suggested that It would have the effect of a vote of instruction, and to lay It on the tattle, and said: "the gentleman from Burlington has introduced a resolution which he had the right and privilege to do, a resolution I was heartily in favor of, and believed Gen. Hancock was the rltfht man to he nominated." Tliat as close as the country was pollt i-ally divided, we could not afford to nominate Mr. Tildeu, and put ourselves upou the defensive in the campaign.

"I cannot consent that the resolution be laid on the table, but would to a reference to the G. E. FLETCHER. Glover, May 3, l-0. I should have voted against the resolution.

Tilden Is mv first choice, if he can be made available if not then' Hancock. 1 am for Tilden because It lightiully belongs to him. and no more thorough condemnation of the great fraud of 1-S7ri can be made by the people of the Culted States than bv placing S.J. Tilden lu the White House in 1881: aud It is the height of mad ness for people to talk that he lackb the stamina or qualities necessary for the position because he did not proclaim hiinseh ruler and take his scat in ihe Presidential chair in lS7t. Had he done so, or attempted it, the world would have witnessed a more, cruel and bloody war Uian the rebellion of IKiil.

He took the right course tor the perpetuation of peace aud the continuation of a government which has brought prosperity to our couut-ry for more than a century, and now is the time for the people to show their approbation ol that wise and peaceful policy of Tilden's and their condemnation of the wrong perpetrated by the most corrupt aud damnable administration that has existed since the formation ol our government, bv putting tlie reins in his hands bv such an overwhelming majority as shall place the result beyond all question. But if his nomination is to divide the Eartv, and Hancock's would unite IL I should tavor aucock. G. W. MoGapkey.

Samuel Installs, of Greensboro, says he should have voted to refer to Committee on Resolutions, which does not indicate how he stood on the resolution itself; VV. I.

C.Iow, of Albanv, does not say how be should have voted, but savs we ask him to "stultify" him self, which indicates he does not understand the matter as we do; Azro Marshall, of Brat- tleboro, says he would not have voted either way, being friendly to Gen. Hancock and to Mr.

Tilden M. H. Goddard, of Ludlow, writes that he wanted the resolution referred, because he diil not deem it wise to have tiie matter discussed, deeming harmony in the party more desirable than men, but should not have voted lor or afraiust it, except tiie house had been polled, and then for it; H.

The records of the Alumni show many other names equally, and some perhaps even more, prominent titan these, wit whom the writer was formerly more particularly acquainted. Probably nearly ball ot Dr. Spaulding's classmates are now dead.

Graduating in July, 1S41, he returned home to Temple, and on the following 2-lth of August married Miss Mary W. Taylor, of that place, several years his elder. Thev never have had any children. She still survives him. He was SO years old on the day of his marriage.

Some seven vears previous he professed religion, and became a member of the Congregniional church, and about the time he graduated bad some thoughts of studying tor the ministry at the Bangor Theological Seminarv. But this purpose was changed bv the advice of one who has always been his firmest and best friend. In isiilt an Academv had been built in Bakersfield, which still continues. It took its name from Joel Brigham, an early settler, aiiout the year Dr. Spaulding was first engaged to teach there in the autumn of 1840, and remained two terms.

In the following fall after his graduating and marriage he took charge perniHiient ly, and taught there until some time in tlie year 1X52, eleven years, giving the institution a high reputation. The Academy at Barre having been finished about that time, be accepted an offer to remover thither, and brought with him, or soon after, quite a number of his Bakersfield pupils. The history of Barre Academy under Dr. spaulding's sole charge for2s years, is doubtless better known to most of our readers than to the writer. With tliat at Bakersfield, it has nursed and turned out many of the finest men and scholars in Vermont.

After coming to Barre the Trustees placed the institution entirely in tiie Doctor's charge, and no other man could1 probably have proved bo successful with it. For a few years past it bas met with considerable rivalry, aud very likelv the Doctor has been obliged to meet deficits from bis own pocket. For several years he resided in the Academy boarding bouse, while it stood east of the school building. Subsequently be erected the fine house on the hill opposite, adjoining which be ha-- cultivated several acres of land scientifically as well as practically. Dr.

Spaulding received the degree of A. M. at Dartmouth, and that of L.L. D. at Middlebury.

President Hulbert, of the latter, was one ol his early pupils at Bakersfield. Dr. Spaulding has always shown himself to be a valuable citizen. He was a good surveyor, and was engaged in locating the Burre branch railroad. He was frequently Superintendent of Schools, anti held other towu oltlces.

In 1870 be was a delegate to the Constiiuiional Convention, and in lS'ti, a Representative in the General Assembly. Dr. Spaulding's funeral was attended by a large concourse last Saturday afternoon, from the Congregational church, to which the remains were followed, from the house, by his widow, brother, and members of their families, the Trustees, teachers and students of Barre Academy, and also of Goddard Seminary. Deacon Hiram Gale took charge. The bearers were Rodney E.

RUTkAXU, MAY 8, 1680. Mr. Editor: 'The man on horseback" will ride into the Chicago Convent ion with enough votes to nominate him on the first ballot, and more than one-halt ot his support in the Con vention will come from the uthern stales, a section where he will not gel a single electoral vote. The third term advocates have made up their mind to nominate General Grant. If they lack sufficient votes, they have monev enough to buy them, and will not herniate to ue it.

Briberv and corrup tion is and has been the political life boat of tne tie pu uncut! pan since me imuiu oi um-coin. Tlie advocates of "a strong govern ment" in this country will set all law at defiance, if by so doing they can carry their point, and will then have the impertinence to ask, hat are you going to oo auout ur he Democratic partv will snow uiem in No vember next what they are going to do about it. These rascals cheated us out of our I res ident in IKTli, but the present fraud is the first and the last of his race. If the Democratic partv elect their Premdoiit in November as fatrlv as thev elected Samuel J. Tilden l7.

he will lake bin seat. will be very dan gerous for audi creatures as Jo. Bradley and J. Madison ells to attempt their game oi fraud. If General Grant is as fairly elected as he was in 1MH and '72, no one will complain ot fraud, but he nor any other man run into the Presidential chair hy Hie back stairs, as did Hayes in 1877.

1 his is the hour tor a man, and the man for the. hour is General infield Scott Hancock, and trust that the Cnicdiuau Convention will nominate him for President. He is a man who. il elected would not hesitate to take his seat. White Republicans of Rutland and Rutland county, the radical element of your part will tell vou that this being Presidential vear vou must all pull together, and make a good showing at the September election.

State vs. J. Selnon Johnnon, Arson. Respon dent wns charged with setting fire to the barns ot one c. H.

Miner, at Highgate, iu hep. tember, IsTS. The testimony adiiuced by the Stale tended to show that on the evening of the tire Johnson culled at the house of Miner, lor whom he had worked a lew days preceding, and requested nis pay, an order on the store, or some pork. Miner declined to ac cede to his requests, and the respondent went, away muttering, After leaving Miner's, the respondent met one Taylor, to whom he said, "Vou will see how Miner will come out in this matter." At 7 o'clock that ntglit the barns of Winer were found to be on tire. Tlie respondent was arrested on suspicion, and had a hearing at Highgate, at which he denied any knowledge of the tire, and stated that on his way home that nighi be sawau unknown man in the neighborhood of Miner's.

This unknown man, whoever be was, stood watching the respondent, who sat on a fence eating some apples. The State introduced several witnesses who had made un experiment, the result of which satisfied them that a niau standing where the respondent claimed the unknown man stood, eon Id not be seen from where the respondent claimed be was sitting, so as to be distinguished as a man. it did not appear, however, that the night of the fire and the night of the experiment were similar as to degree of light, etc. The state also introduced a witness who testified loan admission of the respondent 1 hat when he set the barn on fire "lie calculated1 to have the bouse go." This witness, however, was on baa terms with Johnson, in defence, the prisoner denied the charge and any knowledge of Uie lire; and giive an account ol hi wbereabouis, ol seeing this unknown man, as he had at the preliminary hearing.

S. Jacques testified to going iulo the store- a Hun-day forenoon in October and discovering that some one bad been there, and be missed cer. tain articles. Nothing was fort luamiing to show who the guiltv parly might he; but a few weeks after the a boy came into Jacques' store with pair ol boots on, which were recognized by him. Inquiry of the hoy resulted in the statement thai he purchased them of Dan Prince.

An exauiiuui ion was bad of the residence of Prince, and several pairs of boots and shoes were found, together with some knives, lasts, and other "implements of Sit. Crispin." These various art icles were identified by Jacques, The respondent when put upon the. stand endeavored to explain his possession; some ot the articles lie found, some were purchased by him, and others given him at tiie store of Jacques Brothers, while in the case of three or four of the articles he had "borrowed them and forgot to return them.

He was agraduate of Harvard University and law school. At the depot at Wells River last Saturday Hon. Luke P.

Brady, of New York, has been selected for orator. Gen. Grant was expected there, too, but has written he cannot come.

Lots of celebrities will be present, though, among them being Gen. Franklin, of Connecticut, and Gen. "Baldy" Smith. Mr. Talcott Williams, now one of the best known and most competent journalists in the country, whose first newspaper work was on the Argus and Patriot in the summer of 1871, was one of a conference ot independent republicans held in New York last week, at which it was voted that New York.

Massachusetts and Pennsylvania should be represented at the anti-Grant convention to be held at St. Louis this week. Hon. Dennison Worthington died at Denver. Colorado, April 23d.

He was born in Colchester, in 1806. Ater living many years in Albany, N. he removed to Wisconsin in 1847, settling near Nashotah House. He had been a Methodist, but about 1850 was confirmed at Nashotah by Bishop Kemper. Subsequently he removed to Madison, and for some years was the honored Senior Warden of Grace (Church.

He was an ardent, devoted and cousistent son of the Episcopal Church deeply attached to her holy ways, an always ready to support and defend he interests. He was twice chosen to represent the Diocese of Wisconsin in the General Convention. In secular life, was distinguished for the probity of hiss character, aud the most fearless loyal ty to the old traditions of patriotic citizenship. He was honored by his fellow-citizens with various public offices. His remains were buried at Nashotah last Friday.

Rev. J. M'cC. Fulton, formerly of Bradford, Montpelier, and Brandon, entered upon his dalies as Rector of the Church of the Epiphany, at Providence, R. under the naost favorable conditions.

The people were heartily predisposed in his favor, and their church edifice new and beautiful. But soon accumulated trials came to hi and his. Ere their new residence waa in order, the sister of Mrs. Fulton waa taken suddenly ill. Next his children were prostrated with scarlet fev er, and soon Mrs.

Fulton was stricken Iast Friday his daughter, Ida Maud, a beautiful and interesting cbiid of nine years, died. It is needless to say that Mr. and Mi's. Fulton have the keen sympathy of their numerous friends in Vermont, and that sincere prayers have been uttered in their behalf. Messrs Joseph W.

Battell and Isaac M. Tripp, of Middlebury were in town on Tuesday, feeling the republican pulse as to Gov Stewart's likelihood of beiug elected Cot igresstuan from this District next fall, ii 1 place of that "youna: Colum bian," CoL. Joyce. We understand that they met 1 vith considerable encourage ment from the managers. They were ao coinpanietl by one of the party leaders in Waterbury who was visiting Montpel ier, and nt ade flying trips to NorthlielJ and Roxlw nry, "prospecting." They reported tha.

the Governor was really going to satnv this time, and would not be persuaded to leave the field by Joyce aud his friemls. It is to be hoped that the news is ru for If we must be represented by a Rep; iijjiiean in Congress we would far prefer a. man of brains like Mr. Stewart to a ntrouuitebank like Joyce. The former, apait from his political principles, would make a creditable represen tative of tle Stat, while the latter has done 111 tie lse except to metaphorically grasp the "Bird of Freedom' by the tail, and make him scream defiance to the -vassal airth." It is rumored, too that McCuilough.

Trewor W. Park's suu- In-Law- who is Bart. Cross" brother Dele OThe Free Press said that E. J. Phelps will not accept the Democratic nomination for Governor some days ago, and on Monday again returned to the matter, saying If the Reformer should happen to hear Mr.

Pheps talk 011 the subject, it would perhaps hear some additional objections. If the Democrats of Vermont could elect a Governor, they would never think of takini? so independent a politician and so hiarh-minded a eentleman as Mr. Pnelps. He doubtless well knows this; and there need be no surprise if he declines the empty honor offered him by Atkins Co. Atkins does not know anything about any but he knows that he should be proud to see Mr.

Phelps the Governor of the State. One after another of the publishers who have attempted to publish alow-priced newspaper, have found out that they could not do it, and live. The latest confession is from the Record, and is as follows One other matter should be mentioned, in Justice to the late editor of the Record, to his subscribers, ami to those into wuose hands the interests of the paper have now passed. After an experience and tauhful trial of a year and a half. Mr.

Chandler had found it to be impossible to successfully conduct a paper ot the character of tne Reconi on a basis of a subscription price 01 per year. He saw tnat a mistake had beeu made in reducing the price. I nder the late extraordinary advance 111 the cost of material, tnere was not only no proht in the business on that basis, but there was a siow and constant running behind, and in this condition of thimcs.be had luliv determined to make the price of the Record $2 per year, beginning April 1st inst. of De Young in California, and of tiie girl Meaker here iu Vermont, are two events which have hardly a parallel for atrocity aud cool deliberation. The murderers went at their work with all the sang froid of persons who had a pleasant job on their hands, which they were delighted to accomplish.

Neither had ny provocation which could iu anv way iustify their violence. Both were cold-blooded murders. No wonder the people were shocked- Nor is it any marvel that such a keen sense of personal danjrer so far pervaded tiie public minds as to suggest the necessity of immediate combinations and organization for self-protection. Nor that the suggestion forced the utterance that the law was too tartly, and too uncertain in its enforcement of penalties, and that duty demanded more summary proceedings. But wisely 111 each case outraged public sentiment was contained withiu the limits of the law aud the murderers now await the process which may inlliet tiie penalty of justice, or may set them loose again iu our midst.

We would uot have the innocent sutler the penalties of law, nor would we have the guilty escape. We would have, and thre ought to be, a public sentiment strong in every community against law breaking in all of ils forms that violations of law or breaches of public peace should be the exception aud not the rule. The quiet ot our own Green Mountain homes ought not to be disturbed by the ham, of violence, or the Bethel Business. U. C.

D. B. Bosworth, of Berlin, attempted to hang himself, but was discovered and cut down ere he was dead, full particulars ot the affair being published at that time. Afterward he was sent to tiie Asvlum at Brattleboro. but has been at home since the latter part of January, under the surveillance of his wife and others.

Monday morning be said to his wife he guessed he would go out to the lot where Orrin Kimball, the hired man. was plowing, and started, she watching him until he got there. A little after 10 o'clock he said he guessed he would go back to the house, and started, went along until out of siht of Mr. Kimball, and then dodged off to the barn on the homestead of his father, about twenty rods from his own buildings. Entering the back side of this barn, he got into an old sleigh, formerly used tor selling the Bosworth hoes, took a short piece of rope, barely long cuough to go around his neck, noosed it, fastened it to something on a low scaffolding over his head, aud sat down to his death, strangling himself by force, as it were.

About noon he was missed, an alarm was given, and about 1 o'clock his dead body was discovered by John Huse, one of those searching for him. His age was 51 years. 11 mouths, and 14 days. The funeral was Tuesday. Barrett Holdkn Dissolved.
