MURDER IN VERMoNT.-Great public in
terest has been excited in Montpelier and vi
cinity by the murder of Ariel Martin for the
murder of Lucius Ainsworth and JennlsOn
Wheelock, of which he has been convicted
and sentenced to be hung. Martin is young
man of twenty, who, according to the testimo-
ny of his mother and brother, was subject to
singular hallucihation at times, talked about
armies being encamped in the neighboring
woods, about caves of robbers that he had
discovered, and used to dig about the farm to
find money that he supposed the robbers had
buried; sometimes he thought somebody was
going 10 kill his brothers, and would sleep on
the kitchen floor with his gun at his side.
Without being insane, he was subject to fits
of monomania, and it was probably in one of
these fits that he went to neighbor anC Dor
rowed a rifle. On the next day, which was
on the 10th of July last, he appeared strangely
at home and started off without his breakfast.
He went to the house of Jennison Wheelock
at 81 o'clock in the morning, opened the door
and inquired for Mr.. Wheelock, and being told
by his wife that he was in the meadow now
ing, went directly thither. In a few minutes
Mrs. Wheelock heard the report of gun and
a cry from her husband, and went out at once
and found him dead. Martin then went to a
neighboring field where several men were at
work, and after few words about indifferent
matters rested his rifle on the fence, took de-
liberate aim, and shot down Lucius Ainsworth.
He then walked away rapidly, loading his rifle
as he went. No one suspected what he was
doing till the fatal shot was fired and the other
men at once busted themselves about the
ounded man, allowing Martin to go away.
The second victim died in few hours. Mar
tin, however, made no attempt to escape. An
hour or two after he met DR.. Idle on the street.
and said to him, doctor, have saved you a
good job this morning. have shot those fell
lows, and saved you from poisoning them"
He told others that he "shot the miserable
cusses because they were not fit to live" One
witness testified that before the murder Martin
had threatened to shoot these men, declaring
they had injured him III some way. The jury
considered him sufficiently sane to be guilty of
murder and deserving of its penalty, and their
verdict was in accordance.

In speaking on Tuesday last of the Concert
of the Mozart Society, which we are to have
on the evening of Fast Day, we named few
facts in the life of Hayden, the composer of
the Creation" There are different accounts
of the origin of this kind of musical compost
ton. Some writer's say the crusaders on their
return, brought with them the knowledge and
customs, out of which has grown the sacred
drama. Certain representations of scripture
incidents like the Prodigal Son and the Flight
into Egypt, were not unfrequently accompanied
with music or what was so called. But the
better opinion seems to be that to San Felippo
Nevi a Florentine, must be given the high credit
of introducngit He was the founder of the or
der of the Priests of the Oratory and it was in
their chapel that the oratorio was performed
and from their order received its name. This
was about the year 1885, 1t was not however,
until about the middle of the seventeenth CEN
fury that it became perfected or generally ap-
preciated, when, during Lent, it was in great
favor. The first oratorio of which we have a
full account was given in the city Of Rome in
1900 The place of presentation was church,
in which a stage was erected. We find it had
the Accomplishments of scenes, decorations
and chorus. Handel introduced the oratorio
into England. In the absence of direct evil
dence we should be certain of the result under
such leadership. We'll might Pope say
''Strong in arms To- giant Handel stands
Like bold Briarcus with his hundred hands,
10 stir, to rouse, to shake the soul he comes,
And Joye !,our thunders follow Mars drum"
