when one Of the party from some cause
threw handful OF peanuts into the face
of another member Of the company. A
dispute thereupon arose and quarrel en-
sued, but the parties were separated with
out serious results. Soon atterward the
quarrel was renewed, when cousin OF
one of the parties interfered but was i'm
mediately struck by an outsider with a
a club and instantly killed. The MUIR
derer used piece of board about eigh-
teen inches long, and struck the deceased
only once, the blow taking effect on one
of his temples. The perpelrator of the
crime is an Irishman from Milford, N. H.,
and had been working at his trade as a
carpenter in Wilton. He has wife and
family. and has heretofore been considered
a steady and Industrious man. The MUIR
der is thought to have been entirely un-
premedited. The criminal was arrested,
making no attempt to escape.

Vermont F1orses Ahead +!


The brilliant trotting feat on Friday
last at the fashion course on. Long Island,
was the finest and most speedy on record.
The Ethan Allen is the we'll known
Vermont horse, raised in Addison County,
and now not only the champion of Ameri-
ca, but probably of the world. 1t should
also be borne in mind that Ethan Allen
trotted against the famous Dexter of Chi
cage, the great champion of the West,
and until how supposed TO be the cham
pion Of America. Thus without boasting.
but by practical demonstration, Vermont
horses and Vermont sheep stand ahead of
the whole world 1t is therefore fact of
which Vermont may justly feel proud.
In another place we have given brief
account OF the time made at the feat above
mentioned, and since receiving that the
details have come TO hand, and as very
large portion of our readers viii doubtl SIS
be Interested in them we copy the follow
ing:
"When all was ready, The horses came
up for the work and went off with such
locomotive speed that they passed the
quarter pole, with Allen leading a couple
of lengths, in thirty-two seconds, and
reached the half mile in the extraordinary
time of one minute and four seconds.
During the remainder Of the heat Allen
continued to lead and gained gradually as
he went along. until he reached the score
four or five lengths in advance of Dexter,
who. made something Ike a momentary
break or skip after entering the home
stretch, caused probably by the wonderful
velocity with which he rounded the lower
turn. The team reached the judges stand
in two minutes and fifteen seconds. Dex-
ter's lime was probably a second or halt
longer, and the quickest trotting ever made
in public by any horse in harness, and en-
tirely eclipsing the famous performance OF
Flora Temple at Kalamazoo.
In the second heat, Dexter went away
so vigorously that at the quarter pole
which he reached in thirty-four seconds
three lengths ahead, he looked very much
like winner, and trotted as steadily as
clock work, reaching the half-mile pole in
one minute and six seconds, while Ethan's
time varied the programme by running
considerably. They contrived, however,
to reach Dexter near the three-quarter
pole, and soon after giving him the go-by,
rushed wildly up the home-siretch to the
score, beating him by one or two lengths
in two minutes and sixteen seconds. In
the third beat The Ethan team took the
lead almost Immediately after the start,
and showed about three lengths in front at
the quarter pole, in thirty-fve seconds.
This vantage ground they maintained and
| gradually Increased as they progressed,
until, as they entered upon the home
stretch, they were five or six length in ad-
vance of Dexter, whose driver, now loshg
all hope Of winning the race, urged him
| no further, aud the team came in several
lengths ahead, in two minutes and nineteen
| seconds

THE PROSPECT FOR FRUITs.-The
promise for an extraordinary crop of fruit
this year will not be fulfilled in some i'm
portant particulars. The blossom was
superabundant but the setting of the fruit
has not been so favorable, especially upon
the peach and pear trees. In some gar
dens the pears will fail almost entirely.
After the abundant blossom the newly
formed pears dropped to the ground almost
as soon as formed. The Bartletts will be
especially scarce. In some cases the
peach trees have failed to set their fruit
successfully in the same manner. TIE
peach crop in this neighborhood will he
moderate the pear crop will be light;
the small fruits, such as strawberries, rasp-
berries, blackberries, gooseberries, and
currants, will be abundant and the grape
crop viii be prodigious. Out door grapes
are loaded with fruit, and unlsss some ex-
traordinary weather occurs must do re-
markably well this season.-.Salcm o.

EXTRA SESSION OF CoNGREss.--Th
following is the ci, cular addressed by Gen.
Robert G. Schenck, chairman Of the IN
ion republican executive committee, to
each republican member of Congress,
urging punciual attendance at the July
session =
Dear Sir I'm view of the recent de-
clsion of the attorney general of the Uni
ted States, and the action of the admins
tration, i am requested by many republican
senators and representatives to remind you
OF the very great Importance of your be-
Jog punctually present in your place here
to answer to your name when the two
houses shall assemble at II O'Clock on the
81 of July next. 1t is thought essential
to secure quornms if it should only be to
remain in session long enough to pass some
declaratory act on the subject of recon-
struction."

The Surratt trial has developed
striking case Of eircumstantial evidence.
A witness who, in 1865, was night
Waterman at the railroad depot in Barling-
ton, VT. testified that on the night of
April II. two men slept in the depot, and
alter their departure he found kanakcr-
chief where " the tall man" had been ly-
ing, bearing the name J. Fl. Sarratt. This
goes to prove that he was then on his fight
from Washington, after the assassination,
to Montreal.
