the town are included and settled, except
that for The Town House which was not
then completed. How then could any
one suppose that so important an item as
that OF $500 for the Goshen road could be
omitted.
II may be contended that the abatement
oftaxes, which has been done to a large
amount | understand, and the payment Of
an additional sum toward the Town House
in accordance with a vote pa ssed
after the election of the present board
of SeIectmen, constitutes an item OF
arrearages. I cannot see ii in This
light. 1t is not contended by me that ev-
cry dollar of the Towns Indebtedness was
embraced in the aforesaid report. Some
few bills had not been settled, as will Of
ten and generally be the case in passing
from one set of Seecmen to another
The report however, did embrace all the
then known Indebtedness within the recol-
lection of the seectmen; and very little,
not fifty dollars, venture to say has been
found outstanding and unsettled ofhat date.
With your leave purpose hereafter 10
publish both the Poormaster's account, for
the year ending March T. 1874, and also
the Selectmen's report OF their doing for
the sane period, aud hope i! will be the
custom hereafter to submit all the financial
operations Of the Town, not yiic Town
meeting, but in print for the careful ex-
animation OF all interested.
The public have now very little oppor-
tunity to examine in detail The acts of !heir
Town officers, and therefore have no means
ofjudging correctly whether the money
they pay in the form Of taxes, is judicious-
y expended. have only to add that the
much aked Of report does not show a
gross error, but is true and correct, and |
think the Stlcctmen must have had help
to make SC gross a blucder as they did.

HoRRID MURDER. A murder of the

was committed in the village of Madison,
on the Amherst side of the river from
this place, on Wednesday, the 18th OF
December. A father lmbruing his hands

these: - The son, Edmund Malone, be-
tween 90 and 20 years of age, with the
remainder ofthe family, were sitting al
the dinner table, when some very trivial
dispute arose between him and his father
Blanks Malone The old man then
stepped up behind his son, with large
knife, (perhaps prepared for the purpose,
as we understand he had often before
threatened to commit the deed, and
stabbed his son through his breast bone,
to the heart. A large stream Of blood
Immediately flowed out, and the unIortu
