ANOTHER DREADFUL AFFAIR
A HUSBAND MURDERED BY HIS WIFE!
Our city, last evening, was panied with the re-
port OF dreadful murder near Fairmount of hus-
band by the hands Of his wife. The parties Inpl-
Gated all Irish, and OF the most dissolute and
depraved character, having been engaged in dss-
patton for several days. The murdered man is
named Dominic Sweeney, and resided in Fairview
street The murder committed between five
and six o'clock, and the instrument used shoe
makers knlfe--thc stabs were six or eight in mum
Der, and appeared to have heen dealt with consid-
cradle force. The deceased was young man, not
having been married over ID months, and shoe
maker by trade.
His wife when consigned to prison, had an infant
about eight months old in her arms The father
and motheF Of the wretched woman have also beer
arrested and imprisoned, as being concerned in the
murder; and the police in search of a brother
who is said TO have been present when the blows
were inflicted Considerable excitement prevails
in the neighborhood ofthe said tragedy, hundreds
having visited the dwelling Of the deceased during
the morning. The Coroner's inquest was, that
the murdered man came to his death by wounds in
flicted with sharp instrument in several places
by his wife and others unknown. II is certainly u
painful tragedy, and one which like most others,
can be traced to the mournful effects of RUN

" We are panied to find that some of our sub
scrbers have paid no attention to the notice given
few weeks since, calling upon ALL who were ndebt-
ed to u.s. for settlement by the first Of January To
most of those who have lately found their bills en-
closed in their papers, we must necessarily take
leave of them ailer this week, unless they immedi
atey send the amount honestly due. We had
to borrow 81 10 the other day to prevent being
sued by our paper maker, and for other pressing
demands; and if this backwardness or ungrateful'

VERMONT STATE TEMPERANCE
SOCIETY.

This Society held its annual meeting at
Rutland on the 10th and 18th instant, and
we observe that the meeting was well at
tended by men who are bent upon vigorous
action in behalf of the cause oltemperance.
The resolutions indicate the sentiments of
the society, and doubtless the sentiments
prevailing among the friends of temperance.
We copy from them
BY Mr.. Adams of Burlington
rs ResolUed, That the friends Of moral i'm
provement have reason TO rejoice i'll the re-
formation of class Of valuable men who
have been reformed from state Of drunk
enuess TO sobriety to all of such we say,
God speed and hail their union with the
society as valuable and efficient aids in the
good cause.
by Mr.. Slade of Middlebury--
Rcsolced, That it be recommended TO the
people to petition the Legislature TO prohb-
it the sale, except for medical and manulac-
turing purposes, of Intoxicating liquors in
all the towns in this State which shall not,
in town meeting warned for that purpose,
pass a resolution specially requesting the
County Court to grant license for the sale OF
Intoxicating liquors in such town, and set
ting forth the reasons therefor.
Petitions for this purpose are to be pre-
pared aud circulated
By Committee
Resoiced, That this Society recommends
the paper Of the American Temperance
Union for patronage in this State.
BY Committee, amended by Mr. Slade-
Whereas the law is poweress without the
fidelity of those who are entrusted with
its execution, and the evils of intempe-
rance are of most terrible and appalling
magnitude, therefore
Resolued, Thatthere rests upon the State S
Attornies and Grand Juries, peculiar and
fearful responsibility for the prosecution of
violations of the laws restraining the sale OF
Intoxicating liquors, and that the friends OF
Temperance have right to expect from
them prompt and fearless discharge of this
duty, and are bound themselves to exercise
the most wakeful vigilance to aid in bringing
offenders to justice,
By Mr.. Marsh of Brandon
ResoLved, That the ultimate Triumph OF
the Temperance enterprise can never be
expected so long as its professcd friends are
involved in the guilt of selling intoxicating
liquors.
Resolued, That magistrates who appro'
bate, Judges who license, and Legislators
who enact, sanction or continue in force
and temperance societies who approve, any
law licensing the sale of intoxicating liquor:
as beverage are equally and directly In
yolved in this guilt.
The next annual meeting is to be holder
in Chelsea, on the I'd "Wednesday of Jan
1915.

DEATH OF WILLIAM PITT.

Pitt died at a solitary house on Wimbledon
Common. Not far off by the road side stood,
and still stands, a small country inn, where the
various parties interested in the great staesmans
life were accustomed to apply for information,
and leave their horses and carriages. On the
morning of the 23d January, 1906, an individual
having called at the inn, and not being able to
obtain satisfactory reply to his inquiries, pro-
ceeded to the house of Pitt. lie Knocked put
no servant appeared; he opened the door and
entered: he found no one in attendance. He
proceeded from room to room, and at length en-
tered the sick chamber where, on bed, in Sic
lence and in perfect solitude, he found to his UNI
speakable surprise, the dead body OF that great
Statesman who had so lately welded the pow er
Of England, and influenced, if he did not control
the destinies of the world. We doubt whether
any much more awful example Of the lot of NOR
tality has ever been witnessed.

DOMESTIC LIFE.-All the virtues of domestic
life are lessons which are taught in the Christian
school. 1t is like the sun, who, though he regu-
lates and leads on the year, dispensing life and
light to all the planetary worlds, yet dsdans not
to cherish and beautfy the flower which opens
its bosom to his beam; so the Christian religion,
though chiefly intended to teach us the knoWl-
edge of salvation, and be our guide to happiness
on high, yet also regulates our conversation in
the world, extends its benign influence to every
circle of society, and particularly diffuseth its
fruits in the paths of domestic ife-Hogg.

THE TRUE Sp1RIr-Pr Professor Longfellow. in
one Of his beautiful compositions, in speaking OF
the human heart, says:
What have seen of the world, and known
of the history of mankind, teaches me to look
upon the errors of others in sorrow, not in anger.
When take the history Of one poor heart that
has sinned and suffered, and represent to myself
the struggles and temptations it has passed
through; the feverish inquietude Of hopes and
fears the pressure of want; the desertion OF
friends; the scorn of the world that has little
charity the desolation of the souls sanctuary,
and threatening vices within; health gone; hap
pness gone; even hope. that remains longest,
gone--I would fain leave the erring soul OF man
with him from whose hands it came"

Clay:
The first day he took his seat in the House of
Representatives in Congress he was elected
Speaker of that body, a circumstance which has
not happened since the formation of the Govern

be repeated. Mr.. Clay is very accomplished
