Fearful Tragedy In New Hamp
shire.

The Manchester Mirror learns from
a correspondent Mt Lancaster, Coos
County, the following particulars of
an attempted murder:
"a horrible tragedy occurred at Dunn
mer, Coos County, on the 10Th inst.
A. j. Flanders and Lewis Remeau, a
Canadian Frenchman, were on their
way from Enrol, n. H., where they
had spent the winter in a logging
swamp, to Milan on the Grand Trunk
Railroad to take the cars for ST. Hy-
acinth and Newport their respective
homes.
When about half way to Milan, they
fell in with one Thomas j. Larry,
whom they engaged to carry their
baggage for them. Larry lives in Dunn
mer, n. H., and when within about a
mile Of his house, he proposed to
Flanders and Remoau to go to his
barn on back place, some one humid
red and fifty rods from the main road,
i'll secluded spot, and help him load
some bales of hay. They did SO, and
after the hay was on the sled and Re,
meau and Larry were binding the load
Flanders went into the stable for his
coat, and Just as he had got into the
stable he heard a heavy blow and II
groan, and looking around, saw
through the cracks of the door Larry
striking Remeau with the AK. Larry
Immediately left the Frenchman and
came into the stable with the Ak up
/ lifted, covered with the blood of Re
meau. Flanders offered to give him
his money if he would spare his life,
aud as he lowered the AK to take the
money clinched Larry and began a
struggle for life. In the struggle
Flanders right hand was severely cut
with the AK but he succeeded III get
ting it from Larry, and when Larry
went out of the barn, Flanders fled,
carrying the AK with him.
Larry put the Frenchman' S body on the
hay and started the horses on the
road and then fled acroos the country
to the logging camp of Isaac Wight,
whom he got to show him the way to
Mr.. Leighton's, saying he wanted to
buy some oxen of him. Leighton's is
within two or three miles of the Grand
Trunk Railroad, and since Wight left
him there, Larry has not been seen.
though he can hardly escape, for the
whole country is reused and on his
track.
Rsmeau received two severe blows
with the ak, one on the side and the
other on the back part of the head,
but the surgeons say he may recover,
as a heavy wire in the rim of his hat
broke the force Of the blow.
Flanders and Remoau had some
$500 received for their winters work,
AMI as Larry took all the money on
Remeau's person, robbery is supposed
to have been his object.

gay and fashionable furniture. But
as to these matters he submitted to
the wishes and opinions of his family.
AS to his religious views, it may be
said that in the early part of his life
he attended the Rev. DIR. Emmons
Church, in his native town, who was n
decided Hopkensian, and carried ont
the doctrines of Calvin to their utmost
extent. Aud apparently he believed
in the logical deductions and conclu
sions Of his learned and talented pas
tor. Speculatively he was Calvin
list but was thought to be somewhat
sceptical in his opinions relating to
religious concerns, though he never
expressed any dissent to the loading
doctrines of Christianity. For many
years after his removal to ST. Adams,
he attended public worship at the
Congregational Church where much
the same doctrines were taught as he
had listened to in the preaching of DR.
Emmons But after the Episcopal
church and society had been organized
in St. Adams, and portion of his
family had become regular members
of that church, he seems to have re
Taxed his Partially to the strong doc
trinos of Calyinism, and, by degrees,
became partial to the principles and
ceremonies Of Episcopacy. Aud in a
little time subsequently he became a
regular attendant, on the sabbath, at
the Episcopal Church; and was ever
afterwards one of its principal sup
porters. What influence individuals
of his family may have produced in
his religious views we pretend not to
know. All circumstances, however,
concur in producing a belief that his
opinions in regard to Christian doc
trines suffered material change in the
latter part of his life His doubts, if
any he had, in respect to the leading
doctrines Of the Gospel, were removed;
and he died in full communion with
the Episcopal Church. His venerable
and estimable widow, now, 1866,
in the 9th year of her age, survives
him.

by an old Resident.
PART Xxx.


Was born in the town of Franklin,
Norfolk county, Mass, in the year
1910 His father was a merchant in
that town, and when the revolution
commenced he was reputed to be
a man of considerable wealth Tn
fortunately, he was a loyaGst, and
chose his part with the tories, no
doubt from conscientious motives, and
/ for reasons satisfactory to himself -
His property was confscatcd Ivy the
Government of Massachusetts, accord
ing to the custom and law Of that
State. He died in Boston in 1775.-
His wife had died short time before.
The subject of this sketch was his on
ly child, who was thus left parentless,
at very tender age to the care of an
aunt, in whose family he was brought
up, and received the first rudimonts Of
education. After his fathers death he
carried on for while the same bust
ness in which his father had been en-
gagged, under the direction and super
inten dence 0f a guardian Soon after
the termination OF the war; and he
had grown to years of maturity he
made application, through the assist
anco OF ms friends to the proper
authority for the restoration OF the
property winch had been eonhscated.
The application was successful, and he
was put IN possession Of all the prop
erty that had belonged to his father,
winch at that time was thought to be

property consisted IN large farm,
containing about four hundred acres

guished men, were IN the same class
He commenced the study OF law in the
Office Of Judge Howell Of Providence,
at that time the most distinguished
lawyer in Rhode Island. After his
admission to the bar in Providence,
he established an Office IN the village
of Chepatchet in the town of Glouces-
ter, in the county Of Providence. He
resided in that place two or three
years, and acquired good run of bu"
siness and the reputation of an able
LAWYER. Here he married the daugh-
ter of Lieut.. Governor Owen, then the
widow Of u Mr.. Gadcomb, who had
died some years before. This estima-
BILE lady yet survives him. At the
time of her marriage with Mr.. Aids
she had four children, two sons and
two daughters, two of whom are now

Benedict, Elias Fasset Roswell Hutch

place, and, not many years after, Ben

new, and the people, like all others
who are the first settlers of country,
coming from different places, were
somewhat dissipated, and prone to
litigation. Adds soon onte red into a
successful practice, and was reputed
to be the first lawyer in the county.

Van Ness came to st. Adams he was a
very young man, and had not been

been admitted to the bar in the State
of New York, and came to Vermont
to commence business. 1t was soon
discovered that he had powerful tai

as he continued in practice He rank
ed high as an advocate, and his assis-
lance was sought for more than that
of any other lawyer in the county. He
soon became a warm partizan, and IL
