freedom of son, who unless redeemed, will

Davis has redeemed himself and all his fami-

would also have redeemed this one, but for the
unfortunate destruction of his property by fire.

his own character and the truth of the facts
we have stated, on which he relies to sustain
this appeal to the humane and charitable. We
commend him to the good will of such, here

pecially to low-backed dresses, which has more
than reached the limits of propriety. There is
tore de dos quite revolving. For those meagre
individuals, especially, who resemble spiders,
there is no need of showing us that They
look like plumed canary birds-the dear crea-
lures. A charitable lady suggested that these
deplorable exhibitions were the result of the
long trains on the fioor-held down by the
gentlemen's feet. Certain it is, however, that
what the dresses have gained in length of train
they have lost in hight of shoulders, so that
the equilibrium at least is kept up. A mali

formerly of Barre, and lately acting station
agent on the Rutland and Washington (Vt)

while on his way to Rutland, on Monday last

en-, his breast completely smashed in, and his
head badly crushed, dead. 1t is supposed the
sudden jerk caused by the application of the
brake threw his head against the railing of the
first passenger car with such force as to dslo-
cate his neck, when he fell to the ground.
