THE AscUTNEYvILLE MURDERER
The Orleans Independent Standard says,
that Henry Miller, the murderer of Cow
ing and his wife, worked twenty-five days
this summer for Mr.. Geo. w. Jenness, of
Barton. He left there on Monday night
on the express train South, and the muir
der was committed before morning. While
working for Mr.. Jenness he spoke of work.
ing for man in Weathersfeld, cattle
dealer as he said, who had failed up ow-
ing him Sl60 for his work, and that he
probably should not get his pay. He
worked twenty-five days and overdrew his
pay some sixteen dollars, and said that he
wanted to go to South Troy and see his
wife. He was gone day or two and re-
turned on Monday morning, telling Jen-
ness that he had got letter from his law
yer Informing him that he had secured his
nav of Gowing, and had a check for the
money, payable at the Irasburgh Bank,
but that he wanted seven dollars for his
services before he could send the check,
and asked Mr.. Jenness 10 lend him seven
dollars more, promising to pay him on
Thursday following. The money was ad-
vanced to him, when he lay around loose
that day and went off on the train as be-
fore stated. Mr.. Jenness says he worked
very steady and appeared well-never

times, and did not appear to be drinking

HOMICIDE IN HARTLAND.-On Sun
day the 10th inst. man with the uncom-
mon name of John Smith was shot by
John Marshall, and probably received
fatal Injuries. The versions of the affair
are somewhat different, but seem to agree
that the wounded party were mainly at
fault. The Woodstock Standard says, "a
few days previous two rough looking
strangers had boon loafing about making
themselves quite free at the house of a
MIR. Hall, who lived near the depot. They
repeatedly went to the house unssked and
in accordance with what they claimed as
custom with them, looked the house
over" Finally, Mr.. Hall ard man liv-
ing in the house with him forbid their
again entering his premises, whereat they
made dire threats and exhibited a revolver
with which they proposed to aid their en-
trance when they came again as they pro-
posed to do. To be prepared for them
Mr.. Hall loaded his old gun with shot
On Sunday afternoon the roughs came
again, when man boarding with Hall shot
one of them, wounding him severely but
not fatally. The companion, after helping
his wounded friend TO the depot, left for
parts unknown and has not been seen
cir Tho H. Al
gave himself up to the authorities and on
trial was acquitted, while the wound man
was held for trial"
Walton's Daily Journal says that Smith
exhibited knife and revolver on the day
of the homicide saying there would be
murder committed that day. Afraid of
his life, Marshall armed himself with a
shot gun heavily loaded with buckshot
and took refuge in a farm house and mott
fled Smith that he would be shot if he APP
preached. In the afternoon the latter,
with a companion named Kibbe, started
for the house, and when within few yards
Of the door, he was shot by Marshall, the
charge taking effect in the abdomen and
thighs. Smiths companion, Kibbe, at
once took TO flight, and Marshall gave
himself up, claiming that he acted in self
defence. The wounded man soon became
insane from the intensity of the pain, and
his inquiries will probably prove fatal"

Robert Gallop of Pawlet was driving
pair of horses attached to a moving ma
chine, and was turning a corner OF the
piece. having raised the cutter-bar about
one foot, the machine being in gear, when
one of the horses, being annoyed by the
flies, kicked over the pole, whereupon both
horses commenced running. Mr.. Gallop
hung to the lines bravely, and partially
succeeded in stopping the tam when the
pole broke and the fractured end of the
part attached to the machine run into the
ground, pitching Mr.. G. upon the bar

SAD CASE OF DROWNING "A distress
ing fatality occurred aboIt mile and a
half below Brattleboro village, on Tuesday
afternoon last at about four O'Clock. by
which Miss Cottie A. Brooks, daughter of
Simon Brooks, was drowned in the river.
1t appears that she with several other
girls, were in the river bathing, when one
stepped on a stone and lost her balance.
Immediately Cottie and her sister reached
out to help her, when all three found them
selves in deep water. Two of them had
the presence of mind to throw themselves
on their backs and thus foated into shall
low water and got ashore, though enc suf-
fered considerably, but Cottie Immediately
sank and was drowned. She rose twice
but there was no one to save her. The
men folks of the family were all away at
the time, and perhaps the most distressing
part of the accident was the intense agony
of those on shore unable TO give the needed
aid in that terrible moment. Among them
was her own Mother who sat on the bank
and saw her daughter sink for the hast
time, and at the same time two other eiils,
one also her daughter, were floating away
apparently drowned. One of the girls
saved describes her sensations, supposing
SIZE had given up this life and was floating
into eternity. Cottie was good girl of
between fifteen and sixteen years of age.
Up to Wednesday noon the body had not
been found.

UNITED STATES SENATOR.


The indications are that Gen, Cameron
will be our next United States Senator, in
place of Edgar Cowan, whose term expires
on ths 4th Of March. Whatever claims may
be advanced on the part of the principal
competitors of the General, it is generally
conceded that the prominent position
General Cameron occupied in the Union
party, during the Rebellion, gives him grea,
strength with the people.
sonc Of the very arguments used against
him, will stand as enduring monuments to
his foresight and sagueity. The charge
that he WAS compelled to leave Presiden,
Lincoln's Cabinet only shows that he was
ahead of the times. In the beginning of tht
Rebellion he advocated the policy of eman
cipating and arming the slaves. This policy
the President and his Cabinet, after several
years of hand fighting, and the expenditure
of several hundred millions of dollars, were
eventually compelled to adopt. No man need
have prouder record than his compulsory
retirement from the Cabinet for such reasons
The election for United States Senator takes
place on the 18th inst.

H WE observe by the last Democrat that
our neighbor, Truman II. Purdy, Esq, has
retired from the publication of that paper.
We trust that in other pursuits he may find
more pleasant and profitable employment
than ever could be found in conducting a
strictly partizan journal. Personally, our
relation with Mr.. P. have been kindly and
pleasant, and regret that even in his valedic-
tory he could not sink the blind partizan
feelings, which, if they do not exactly justify
the rebellion, find no fault with the rebels,
and which so darken his vision. that he can
only see traitors and treason in Congress and
the Republicans of the North, without a
word of condemnation for the acts of the
most Infamous political scoundrels that ever
disgraced humanity and civilization. The
Demoe'ut is now conducted by Mr.. Eicholtz
formerly of the Pottville Standard, and Mr..
John ]. Auton the local of the Democrat,
whom personally we wish pecuniary success.
