THE VERMONT MURDER.

The interest aud curiosity ofthe public
has been highly excited upon the subject
of the trial and conviction of Stephen and
Jesse Boorn, of Manchester, Vermont, for
the supposed murder Of Russell Colviu,
who is alive, and has returned to bis fami-
ly and home. There have been various
stories in circulation respecting this mys-
FERROUS affair, some Of which have reflect
ed little credit upon the Judiciary of Yer
mont or upon the intelligence of the jury.
The marvellous dream, in particular, has
been fruitful topic Of speculation.
We have a few days since received from
Rutland, Vt. a pamphlet, containing an ac-
count Of the trial of the Boorns, taken from
the minutes Of the Hon. Chief Justice, to-
gether with some particulars relative TO
the discovery of the supposed deceased
The testimony, which is obviously only a
brief, occupies about 20 pages. tits much
confused, and calculated to throw but lit
tie light upon the mysterious affair.
From this publication we learn that Col
vim had married sister of the Boorns ;
had several children, and was al times nn-
able TO provide for his family all the ne
cessaries ofliie. He consequently became
somewhat dependent upon the Boorns, who
were not much pleased with the necessity
of administering relief. We are led to
infer also, from some parts Of the testimo
ny, that Cclvin had previously been par.
tally deranged; had several times left his
home. and on one occasion took child
with him and was absent nine months.
From the testimony, il appears, that Sc
ven years ago last spring, Russell Colvin.
son Of his about 10 years Of age, and the
two Boorns, were at work together heaping
up stones in field. A quarrel ensned
between Stephen Boorn and Colvin; the
former struck the latter several times the
boy was frightened, aud ran to the house,
