FIrNpIsu CRurIry.-Proceeding d

FIENDlsH CRUELTY.--Proceedings al
law have been instituted against Theo-
dore G. Rand, Of Windham, for fiendish
acts of cruelty to Mary Ellen Divine, a
delicate child of eleven years. If one
half that is charged against him be true,-
he is worse than Legree, the ideal mon
ster Of Uncle Toms Cabin, and he is
placed outside the pale Of civilization. -
He took the little girl from the Sisters Of
Charity at Troy, New York, she being
worse, than an orphan, and it is charged
that he has beat, bruised, kicked, and 9th
erwise abused her, worse than any slave
was ever treated by the most nhuman
master. Stripping, and then whipping,
her with raw-hide until she tainted,
her blood trickled upon the floor; pluDg-
ing her naked through hole cut in the
ice in watering trough; compelling her
to drink urine, etc, are among the all
eyed inhumanities laid at his door, the
details being too shocking for relation.
The condition Of the person Of the little
sufferer, when examined, was most hor-
rid, her limbs being purple from beating,
with gashes in them, and swollen as hard
as stone, her toes being raw from the
effects of freezing, her fingers having
blood blisters on the ends of them, aud
the like.-Argus and Patriot.

LAMENrABLE DEATH OF A vERMoNTE

LAMENrABLE DEATH OF A vERMoNTER.
Friday, March 20.
A very lamentable affair occurred on
yesterday morning in this city, being the
death and robbery of Lieut.. Lewis Ora
ham of Springfield, VT, late of company
X, 18th Reg't Vermont Vols. Il seems
that on Wednesday Lieut.. Graham re-
signed on account of rheumatism, and
was honorably discharged by General
Heintzelman, and received his pay. On
that night he retired at boarding house,
but at o'clock in the morning his room
mate testifes that he was awaked by the
falling of somebody upon the floor, and
he found it to be Graham with his throat
cut with pen-knife. Medical assistance
was obtained after great delay, several
4 surgeons refusing to come But the
wound was sewed up ultimately, though
in vain. Graham died at o'clock, or
hours after the wound.
One of the surgeons testified that his
life might have been saved, had assist
ance been rendered in time. Inasmuch
as the deceased did not by word or sign
indicate foul play, the inference is but
fair that he inflicted the wound himself,
doubtless in a moment of alteration
The sum of 1854 was found in his cloth
ing, and this money was counted by a
policeman and locked up in Graham's
valise, but was subsequently stolen. A
man calling himself McNaughton, and
who protested to be a newspaper report
err, was left in the room by the police,
and he has disappeared. 1t is believed
he took the money. Some persons doubt
whether Graham was not murdered.
This city is overrun by robbers and
murderers and Notwithstanding dou-
BILE police, civil and military, murder,
robbery, arson and swindling in every
conceivable shape are of frequent occur
renee. This week has given us citizen
robbed of $4,000, another of 81 200, an i.
other of $500, General of 81 300, and
Lieut.. Graham of 1854, saying nothing
OF smaller affairs.-Cor. Wahon's Daily

Report
or The Superintendent Of Schools, Trey,
March 3, 1868.

Il OF The Superintendent Of Schools, Trey
March 8, 1868.
Having attended to the duties requir
ed of me, beg leave to report that during
the past year visited the several schools
in town, each three times, with two eS
ceptions. Some of the schools ! found
in good condition, every way awarding
much credit to the teachers. There ap
peared on the part of the teachers much
interest in regard to the prosperity Of
their schools, while it was apparent that
corresponding interest was manifested
on the part of the scholars.
There were other schools that found
in an unhealthy condition. Insubordin.
alton appeared to be the order of the
day. The difficulties were traceable to
want of faculty to govern---a fault
common with all teachers. Some were
3 not only destitute of faculty to govern,
but were wholly devoid of system. Eve
ry thing appeared in the wrong place.
The teachers we're better qualified gen.
orally than heretofore, but some were
found wanting. The failures were in
geography, photography and writing.
I found some of the school houses in a
most deplorable condition. Not the first
thing that was attractive save broken
stoves, green wood, dilapidated benches,
half frozen scholars, and teachers with
scowls upon their faces. Let me here
say that in such districts new convenient
school houses are very much needed
If you wish to educate your children,
provide suitable houses, and such as shall
be pleasant and comfortable.
There are three schools in town, the
average attendance was ten. In my
opinion were some of these districts uni
ted, the schools would be more beneficial.
] found but few schools that have been
visited by parents, and it was also so
with the Prudential Committee. A most
culpable neglect on the part of BOTH
Scholars need encouragement, and com
mon sense dictates that parents are the
ones to do it. Ifyou trust your children
three months with teachers, and perhaps
strangers, without knowing how they are
prospecting in the school room, you ne
glect most important duty.
Wages paid female teachers, from 81
TO SIG per month. Lowest wages paid
male teachers, SIS per month; highest,
S25. The whole amount paid teachers
was between $500 aud 5000 The whole
amount of the expenses of the schools
the past year was between $1,000 and
$500. L. c. Moore, Supt.

II is estimated that 10000 persons die annu-
Il ally in the United States, with consumption,
ana Professor Eberly says, that Il vast number
OF these could be saved BY The timely use Of
some proper remedy.

the disease AT oScE, and such Is its speedy eff
iect, that any one using 1t freely, according to
directions, for twenty four or forty eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits may re-
turn 1t and receive back his money. The most
distressing cough is frequently relieved by Z.
single dose, and broken up in a few hours time.

afford relief or not.
