Henry Michael Bray was arrested in this
place last week as deserter. AS near as
we can learn, the facts are as follows:
Young Bray was a member of the 18th reg
iment, was in the hard campaign of Gen.
Grant one year ago now, was taken prison.
er at the unsuccessful assault on Petersburg
last July. and after remaining in rebel pris-
ons two months or more was among the
sick paroled prisoners who were sent North
last fall. Being sick with scurvy and
chronic diarrh9a he was unable to report
in person at the end of his furlough. and so
got it extended. About the time this eX-
tension expired he went to Canada where
he had numerous relatives. who Owe sur
mise) gave him some bad advice. They
represented to him thatss he was paroled
prisoner he was at liberty to 90 where he
pleased till exchanged. As he was sick he
was easily persuaded; and 80 he kept stay
ing till the first of May; when, as he says.
he started for his regiment. Stopping with
his brother here one day, he was arrested
and taken to Windsor. IN letter from
him since he arrived there, he states that
they are not so afraid of his running away
there as they were here, as the Provost
gave him bed in the hotel without guard,
and transportation to his regiment. He as
serts that he had no intention of deserving
the service.

IncesNiOrisAaa.

There seems to be gang of incendiarie
and burglars going through this part of tn
country. The people in Grafton county, N
H., have suffered a great deal of late from
miscreants burning their property. Quite
number of fires have occurred in Haver
hill within the past two or three weeks
Newport, VT, was threatened last week
People in our own village have received
anonymous letters boding evil. Whether
any confidence should be placed in such
letters or not we will not now argue, but
under the circumstances it gives feeling
of security to know that the members OF
Co. B. of the militia have been ordered to
take their guns, together with ten rounds
of ammunition, from the arsenal to their
houses; also that an extra night watch has
been put on in one part of our village at
least. TO be torewarned should have the
effect to make all forearmed. An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure. And
while we would not unduly excite the fears
OF any one, it can do no harm to use every
precaution to guard against intrusion from
any quarter. Every citizen should be DO
lice officer so far as to keep vigilant watch
on public and private property, and a sharp
eye on strangers and suspicious characters.
Fatal accidents.
A shocking accident occurred at Barton
on Sunday last. Emma Darling, aged l6
years, a daughter of Mr.. Lyman Darling of
Glover, was at Mr.. Prentice RObinson's in
Barton on the above day, when a reckless
young man Gone correspondent says by the
name of RobinsOn) went into room where
MIR. Robinson kept his cavalry equipments.
and appeared at the door brandishing sa-
bre. He was told by Mrs. R. to carry it
back and ''let things alone" He went back,
but soon appeared again with pistol, which
he cooked and fired, the ball hitting little
daughter of Mr.. Robinson in the forehead.
and glancing off, went through the body of
Miss Darling, from the effects of which she
died on Monday morning. Miss Darling
was modest, retiring young lady, and her
shocking death will be deeply mourned in
that section. Her funeral was attended on
Wednesday. The injury to the Robinson
girl was only slight. The man who was the
cause of this terrible deed didn't know the
pistol was loaded" OF course not. But
when will men and boys learn not to handle
arms till they know whether they are loaded
and never to point gun or pistol at any lv-
ing thing they don't deliberately intend to
kill.....Mr. Carlisle B. Evans (not Ed
rards) was drowned in Lowell. Mass. on
Saturday night, week. He started to 90 to
his boarding place in the evening ''across
lots" He was warned by his brother to
beware of the canal, as he was not sure as
there was a bridge on that route. 1t is sup
posed he came to the bank of the canal
unawares and fell in. His body was
found Sunday, and brought to Peacham
for interment. from which town he had
but lately removed.

WHICH Ii MOST HUMANK?-We learn

WHICH Ii Most HUMANR?-We learn
from gentleman who has just paid a visit to
the prison yard at Davenport, where the In
dian murdereA of Minnesota were taken in
the summer of 1868, that out of over 400 of
them originally taken there, only 27O are now
alive. Diseases peculiar to the race have deci-
mated them-and confinement, which is sure
death to an Indian sooner or later-is rapidly
killing them of.
II this is more merciful and humane than
hanging, we can't see it. It would have been
better that the whole batch had been hung at
Mankato, than to be transported few hun
dred miles and imprisoned, to meet the same
fate at last by slow degrees.
