The SEDUCTION IN NORTH ADAMs.-The
excitement which the disclosure of the late
case of seduction and death created in the vii
lage of North Adams, has not in the least
abated 1t is stated that Miss Butler. before
her death, said Littefeld proposed she should
take some medicine to remove the result of
their crime, that he procured it for her, and
that this produced the sickness of which she
died. Littlefeld, however, while acknowledge
ing the seduction, denied any knowledge of
her taking medicine, or having advised her to
do SO. He has not been heard from since his
flight, and no measures have been taken for
his arrest. He is believed to be in Canada
The parents of the young woman decline to
institute a ~ prosecution for the crime. The
feelings of the community are, however, arous-
ed against him. The North Adams News
says it is an everlasting disgrace to the moral
sentiment of the place that he was permitted
to escape and that the reason why that village
bears so bad a name in morals, abroad is that
"crime has been carried on in high and low
places, open-handed, and has even been per-
mitted, by men who pretend to high moral and
religious principles, to be suppressed, smother
ed down, and go unwhipped of Justice" The
latest report concerning the case is that poison
was found in the girls stomach but whether
of such character as to indicate that it was
taken or given to destroy her life, or was only
the drug which was intended to produce an
abortion, does not appear.

GENERAL SUMMARY.

The National Typographical Union were en-
tertained by the Boston printers at the Revere
House, Thursday evening. The comestibles
were irreproachable, and the speeches worthy
of the craft. Among the distinguished speak
ers were Hon. Joseph I. Buckingham, Senat-
or Wilson, Hon. Josiah Quincy, Jr., Mayor
Lincoln and ex-Mayor Rice, and many Others
The company broke up at two o'clock in the
morning.
There was remarkable fall of aerolites re-
Gently in Taylor, KY, with loud reports and

themselves so deep in the earth that only few

heavy for the size, weighing one pound and
three ounces avordupois. Small particles of
pure iron are embedded in the block coal, and
are sensibly attracted by the magnet.

many homes, where the expensive line en-

BEEcHER IN THE LADIES' SALooN-Not
long ago, when one of the boats on the Della
ware was unusually crowded, and some gentle
men had taken the vacant seats in the ladies'
cabin, two charming creatures presented their
radiant and expensive physiques at the door of
the saloon. One of them, before the gentle
men had time to rise, cruelty exclaimed ad-
dressing her companion, perhaps we might
ma seats in the geihemaAs saloon" One of
the gentlemen, who was in the act of rising.
when the shot was fired returned the volley,
with, Ladies', perhaps there are some gentle
men present who will give you seats in this
saloon." The ladies smiled gratefully, and
with graceful flirt of their ample crinoline,
ana with an air selfsatistaction which plain
~ said, Guess we have given them one good
lesson in woman's rights" assumed the seats
just vacated. There was q marked sensation
on their part few moments after when they
were told one Of the gentlemen at whom they
had aimed the witty rebuke, and who had so
quickly repealed it, was no less parsonage
than Henry Ward Beecher. Mr. Beecher
was on his way to lecture in Philadelphia that
evening-subject, "rhe Burdens of Society"
The young ladies were among his audience.
and at the close of the lecture one of them re.
marked that she was dying to convey to the
distinguished lecturer request that he would
amend that address by adding to the 'bur
dens," the too common practice among travel
ling gentlemen, including some very gallant
elergymen, of jumping into seats expressly
designed Tor the accommodation of ladies'"

The CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.-The
friends and advocates of this measure are
working zealouslv to secure its passage. 1t
does not become those who believe that the
right of suffrage ought not to be tempered
with without a cause to be Indifferent to its
defeat. We trust our friends will thoughtfully
consider that changes in the constitutional law
should not be made unless against abuses for
which there is no other remedy that the pro-
posed amendment gives no security to the
ballot box, which is not given by the fair ad-
ministration of the existing law that, because
it is wholly needless, it discriminates unjustly
against every man who shall hereafter become
a naturalized citizen of Massachusetts that,
on account of its needless and unjust discrim-
nation, it is offensive to every intelligent citi-
zen of foreign birth in the country, and will
ALLEVIATE their support and cooperation from
sponsibility of its passage all good and suf.
ficient reasons to which no satisfactory answer
can be given. 1t will not be wholly safe for
Republicans to rely upon other political organ
izations to do the work to which their own par
ty is pledged upon the record. No! Let every
Republican, who believes the amendment is
either unwise or wrong, or both, resolve to
vote, and see that sufficient negative votes, eli
ther written or printed, are circulated at their
respective polls

MuNIFICENr DONATION. The Boston
journal states that Hon. William Appleton of
that city has made donation of $4,000 for the
purpose of establishing Pastors Library in
connection with the First Congregational
Church in North Brookfeld, of which the Rev.
Mr.. Smell and the Rev. Christopher Gushing
are the Pastors. A portion Of the money is to
be invested and the income spent for the an
nual increase of the library. The library is
to be owned by the parish and to be kept for
the use the successive pastors of the church.
North Brookfeld is the birthplace of Mr.. Ap-
pleton, and his father, the Rev. Joseph Apple
ton, was settled over this church as its pastor
this being his only pastorate) for nineteen
years, and was greatly beloved by all his peo
pie. He died over sixty years ago, and his
son has chosen thisvery appropriate and excel
lent manner of honoring the memory of his
father. The society is now 107 years old, and
its third pastor, Rev. DR.. Smell, who has been
settled over 60 years, is still living among his
people. Its first pastor was dismissed in the
time of the Revolution, because he became
tory, and he afterwards served as chaplain in
the British Army.

CHIEF JUSTICE Parsons AND FRANCIS
BLAKE.-Among the interesting incidents re-
lated in the recently published memoir of
Chief Justice Parsons, the following is of es-
pecial interest. Parsons had found the bust
ness of the courts clogged, and was bent upon
clearing the calendar. He set himself resolute-
ly against indirect speaking improper testi-
mony, and other causes of delay, sometimes re-
quiring the points to be submitted to HIMSELF on
the bench to test their applicability before he
would permit argument. His proceedings at
times were peculiarly energetic:
AT Worcester, the first term that he held
there was after the bar had some intimaton of
the course likely to'be pursued and the lead
ers determined to resist. Frank Blake, as
everybody called him, perhaps the leading law
yer of the county, and one Of my fathers most
intimate friends, arose to argue case. "Stop
moment, Brother Blake" said my father,
''what points do you propose to present to the
jury on this evidence 2" 81 will, if your Hon.
or pleases, state them to the jury" "No, you
must state them to the court first" al decline
doing so, may it please your Honor and in.
sist on my right to address the jury in my own
way" Certainly, if you address them at all,
you may address them in your own way-and
there can be no better but must first know
| whether you have any case to speak about.
do not now see one but perhaps you may
point one out" II will endeavor to do SO to
the jury" "No, you must do so first to me-"
| "This l positively decline" every well, with
any view of the case l can now take, you will
waste the time of the jury, the court and the
county, by any argument" Mr.. Blake then
arose. and, turning to thejury, began, Gentle
men of the jury"-when my father instantly
said, "Mr. Sheriff. commit Mr.. Blake to close
Jail" and quietly arose and began charging
the jury. The sheriff approached Mr.. Blake
who rose to follow him, and my father, inter-
rupting his charge, said to the sheriff, "Stop,
sir, few moments !" and went on and gave
the case to the jury He then turned to the
bar and said, Brother Blake, will you 90 to
Jail now, or wait until you have got through
some of your cases 2" IL think" said Blake,
"if it is all one to your Honor, will wait
little" "Do just as you like" One of the
gentlemen who narrated to me this incident
said he was the same evening at a supper par.
ty at Mr.. Blake's own house. at which my ia
Their was present They both laughed over
the affair, which did not seem in the least to d.
minish the cordially; or, to use the phrase he
used TO me-he was speaking of fifty years
ago-the 'jollity" of the party. In 1921
eight years after my fathers death---I was
travelling in Worcester county, and member
Of the bar assured me that he had seen carl
cature of the scene, representing Mr.. Blake as
in the act of addressing the jury, but petrifed
with the command to the sheriff to commit
him. He thought it was still in existence, and
said he would epdeavor TO procure it for me
but he was unable to do so.

FORTUNE IN A GUST OF WIND.-The good
luck of a shepherd boy is just now "the shrug''
of Paris. Count s. and his charming wife
were passengers in one of the railway trains
of Germany, and at few leagues from Held
elberg the Counts hat was blown Off as he
CHANGED to put his head out OF the window
AS it was a valuable Panama, the owner made
record of his loss at the next station, and gave
his address in the city, where it could be
brought to him if found.
Some days passed, and the Count and his
lady were walking in the gay promenade
where the roulette table forms the principal
feature, when railway conductor approached
with the missing hat. 1t had been carried q
great distance by the wind, but was brought
in at last by shepherd boy, II little fellow of
thirteen years of age, who had found it among
the hills where he followed his flock
Gould you find that poor lad again." asked
the count, "and give him this little recon-
pense 2"
But as he put two gold pieces in the con.
ductors hand, the countess made suggestion
Suppose, instead of sending it to him, YOU
first try its luck on the table? You know the
proverb. TO The little innoccnts full hands
What he wins we will send to him, and if he
loses, why wen make it up"
The count assented, and the two louis d'ors
were placed upon one of the numbers of the
table. Round went the wheel, and the little
shepherds fortune was made. Ten thousand
francs had come up to this number?
Inc messenger was waiting, and the wind
fall was at once forwarded TO the little boy.

GARDNER.-We understand the citizens of
Gardner have taken hold of the subject of a
new Town Hall in earnest, the present accom-
modations not being sufficient for the growing
wants of this fiourishing town. AT town
meeting on Thursday last the following named
individuals were chosen committee to carry
out the wishes of the town, with full power to
enlarge the present hall or build new one, as
their good Judgment might dictate, thus
throwing the whole responsibility on the COM
mittee Thomas E. Glazier, Lewis H. Brad
ford, Thorley Collister, Francis Richardson,
Simeon w. A Stevens, David Parker, and

Henry Lawrence was chosen an agent of the
town, to prosecute all violations of the liquor

DEATH OF A MIsER.-The Newark Mer-
curry chronicles the death of VIM. Patterson,
Scotchman eighty years old, who has been
known in that vicinity for the last quarter of
century as Swamp Miser." He lived and
died talking of interest and gain, and during
his last illness asked the doctor who had been
called in spite of his objections, what he was
going to charge for the visit, saying he would
rather spend the money for something else
Neither would he have clergyman, saying he
believed none of their doctrine His belief
was peculiar After acertan number of years
he expects to return to this world Young
man, and he had amassed his property with
view to that event. expecting to receive it
again with interest when he returns Two
nephews, it is said, will inherit his large prop
erty. The furniture of his room consisted of
three chairs and three chests one of the
chairs and one of the chests made his bedstead
and he lay upon them without covering, sell
dom undressing himself, and was always seen
standing, sitting or lying, with his hat on his
head.

FIRES IN FIToHBURG.-Thetire department
in Fitchburg has been called out three times
during the past week. Alarms arose on Sun
day and Wednesday afternoons, from burning
brush, which was extinguished without seri-
GUS loss. On Wednesday night the barn own
ed by John Sawyer, on Mechanic street, was
wholly destroyed by fire. The dwelling house
adjoining, occupied by Mr.. Spooner, narrowly
escaped destruction. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
