brutal Outrage.

A tragedy of the most cruel and revol-
ting nature took place at Sandgate one
day last week. 1t seemed that gather
ing of young people took place at the house
of a Mr.. Hoyt, and during the evening
a number of demons in human shape sue.
ceeded in dragging little girl of thirteen
years, (who was living with Mr.. Hoyt.)
and in that helpless condition several of
the british wretchcs succeeded in their
hellish designs upon the person of their
innocent victim, who fingered for three
DAYS, when she died. Before she died she
gave the names of several of the murder
ers, and detailed infinitely all their trans
actions during the period of her conscious
ness
After hearing of her death several of the
wretches-aye, more, murderers,-fed but
number of them have been arrested.
Let the perpetrators of the dark deed have
fair and impartial hearing, guaranteed
them by the Laws of the land, and then.
if the evidence is conclusive, let the full
weight of the legally prescribed penalties
fall upon them whether it consigns them
to the walls of prison or the gibbet.-

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.-Last nj ght
about half past nine o'clock, when Mr..
Jerome Flanagan, son of the sheriff, was
locking up the convicts in the Jail, one
DR.. Taskar knocked him down, and Tas-
kar and boy fed Young Flanagan at once
started in pursuit, and ovcrtaking Taskar
while getting over fence on White street,
fioored him and took him back.-Bur-
limgton Times.
The DR.. Taskar mentioned above is the
same Dr. Taskar, we suppose, who issued
his "keerd' at West Albany, about year
ago, styling himself the celebrated
Scotch, English and Indian Physician, "
all the way from Philadelphia. One re-
markable thing he mentioned regarding
himself was that he had mot growed none
since he was four years DID, and he could
prescribe for patients hundreds of miles
off as well as if they were present. We
don't think he has "growed' any better
since he was four year old, though. We
learn that he came nearly direct from Sing
Sing prison to West Albany. We after
wards heard of him in Lyndon, where he
made himself altogether too agreeable do
ing chores and acting as deputy ostler,
tending bar, &C., occasionally spreading
as "physicianer,' and finally wound up
by robbing the money drawer of the hotel
and decamping, since which time we have
not heard of him till we saw the above.
He is mean looking creature, and we
guess his morals are rather bad.-Iras-
bu,yh Standard.
LIQUOR LAW IN BURLINGToN.--On Fri
day, officer Livock seized at the Rutland
and Burlington depot one cask of Brandy,
one cask of Bourbon Whiskcy, and nine
do of Gin, or of the compounds which are
commonly called by those names, amount
ing to between three and four hundred
gallons in all. The casks were directed
to fictitious address, and labeled "syr-
up" ''lard OIL ''molasses," &c. No
claimant has as yet appeared, and the
stuff will doubtless in due process of law
be spilled.
Michael Brown and Patrick Kennedy
were brought before Justice French for
unlawful selling of liquor, and fined re-
spectively 500 and $50 and the COSTS

New Sugar has been offered here the
present week. There were two or three
sap days the first of the week which the
farmers improved. The consequence were
a commodity peddled out for eight or nine
cents per pound that was sweet and nice.
A warm rain Tuesday and Wednesday
nearly spoiled the sleighing hereabouts,
and unless more snow comes soon we shall
have to adopt wheels as conveyances. At
