last young man, a member OF the PROV
isionsl cavalry, was exhibiting his equipments,
when he, in sport, pointed the revolver at
Miss Emma Darling, daughter Of Lyman
Darling, Of Glover. The piece was dischar-

forehead Of little daughter Of Mr.. Robinson,
and entered the side of Miss Darling passing
nearly through the body. The wound proved
total the young lady fingered till Monday
morning and died. The unfortunate young
man lie nearly crazy with grief 1t seems
that some one had loaded the revolver with

had disappeared. He soon discovered foot
prints in the sand" which he followed for
three miles over Jay, Peak, into sutton. where
he found man boiling sap. He charged him
with the stealing OF the syrup, which be at
first denied, but afterwards owned up, and

proper credentials to the commissioners ap-
pointed to represent Vermont at the Fair at

;lals aud received such as were fully satisfac-
tory to him, though they did not suit his co.
adjutor, DR.. Boynton. Mr.. Clark says: "The
charges are unjust and upgenerous, for no
blame is to be attached to Gov. Smith, for he
expressed great interest in the success Of
the enterprise, and the blame. If any, is upon
myself as the committee appointed to solicit
credentials from the Governor, for what
would appear to have been my want of com

In LIMBo.-The examination OF John Me-

suspicion Of reasonable conduct, closed some
days ago, and the evidence elected was for
warded by Capt. Crane to Gen. Dix. TIE
evidence was undoubtedly strong against the
accused, as he was sent to New York. under
guard of seven soldiers, Thursday night, in
pursuance of orders from General Dix. The
Rutland Curier says that McKeogh was ta-
ken to Washington. He undoubtedly has
received free ticket either for Fort Lafayette

Rutland, late last night, that on McKeogh's
arrival in New York, further orders were re-
ceived to carry him to Washington. Times.
