MURDER WILL oUT-Several hardened old
counferteiters were recently arrested at Bur
ton, Ohio. Of one of them, Jesse Boorn, there
is strange story repeated. Some forty years
ago Il cold-blooded murder was perpetrated in
the state of Vermont. The murdered man
was brother-in.law of Boorn named Cooley,
and circumstances pointed to Boorn and his
brother as the guilty parties. They were tried,
convicted, and sentenced to be hanged. The
execution day came, and large crowds poured
INTO the village TO the murderers swing
They assembled the scaffold, and the moose was
placed around their neckS, when the supposed
dead man appeared in the crowd The Boorns
were set free, Just as they reached deaths door
and Immediately fled the state. Jesse Boorn,
now nearly seventy years old, confessed to Mr.
Hackett OF Burton, that he and his brother did
murder Cobley-the person who appeared be.
lore the gallows being man from New jersey
VINO bore striking resemblance to the de-
ceased, and who was expressly hired to play
the villainous part The affair created great
excitement at the time throughout New Eng
land, and lawyers retained for the defense in
desperate murder cases have ever since quoted
the Boorn case for the benefit of their clients.
1t is believed-indeed Boorn confessed as
much-that the hardened wretch proposed to
still further steep his hands in blood by muir
dering a Mr. Doolittle of Boston, who had
money which the gang lusted for. The par
ties who were arrested at Burton are now in
Jail in Cleveland, and will probably be tried
during the present term of the United States
district court.

Political.


The Worcester Times, speaking of Mr..
Thayer's speech in the City Hall, and OF the
| paplause which followed some of the PERSONAL
ties of the speech, says the applause came
from ''the superior numbers present who were
friends of Mr.. Thayer, who manifested de-
termination to sustain him in the position he
has taken in congress-" The applause in
question came chiefly from the democrats
present, some of whom made themselves
very conspicuous in it, Does the Times mean
to say that the democrats of Worcester have
resolved to sustain Mr.. Thayer?
The Boston Courier has facetious cores
pendent in this city who writes that the new
Bell and Everett flag was suspended "to the
great JOY of their friends, though not much to
the comfort of their enemies " The fact is thai
it is great comfort to everybody to see the
flag of the orphans so hopefully unfurled. We
havn't seen anybody who refused to be COM
forted on that account

blind guide.
The friends of Mr. Douglas held meeting
in Milford last week, endorsing and appaudng
the action of Mr.. Underwood at Charleston
and Baltimore, and repudiating Mr.. Wales,

other democratic papers give the resolutions in

The western tour contemplated by Governor

By THE LIGHT OF THE MooN.-Some ten
or twelve persons, we believe nearly all men,
bers of one family in this city, make pretty
good use of the delightful moonlight nights
which now abound. They were out, all dress
ed in white, for horseback ride to a hill in
Paxton, last night, or more properly, this
morning. And their appearance was some
what romantic, to say the least. We under
stand that it has for more than year been
the custom for some of the party to turn to
similar advantage every fine moonlight night.
This will account for the reported midnight
skating parties last winter, when on one or
two occasions it is said various of our frozen
ponds were invaded at the "witching hour by
skaters whose exuberant fancy led them to
choose such solemn hour and ghostly light
But last night was so bright and beautiful it is
no wonder that others than workers on morn

all night and not "go home till morning"
