DEATH OF LYMAN A. MoCLURE.--We re-
Arnold Mcclure, which occurred at the
residence of his father in this village at
/ IL o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the
age OF % years. He was the son of
David G. and Emiline s. Mcclure, born
in Middletown, Vermont, March 7, 1874.
He was in his earlier years for some
time clerk, but at the age of 18 en-
listed in Company K of the 10Th Regt.
Vermont Volunteers, and served with
the regiment for its term of service Of
nine months. After his return he pur-
sued commercial studies, and at the age
OF 19 entered the ticket office of the Troy
and Boston Railroad, at Troy, N. Y,
under Charles W. Moseley, Esq. On the
appointment OF Mr.. Moseley to the
Superintendency of the road, at the
age of % years, he received the appoint
ment Of General Ticket Agent thereof.
He filed this position with great
acceptance until falling health compelled
him to leave his duties. He returned to
Rutland with the hope of recovering
health, and some weeks since In company
with his father went West, with the hope
that more favorable climate might af.
ford him relief, but that fatal malady,
Consumption, had taken too deep hold
for him to receive any benefit from the
change, and he returned home that his
last hours might be amid kindre d
and friends. He gradually sunk TO
peaceful death, receiving the kindly
ministrations OF q mothers care, and
the faithful attentions of his immediate
family. He was q quiet, unobtrusive
young man, who possessed q large cir.
Gle OF friends, and was faithful, efficient
and popular with all with whom he was
connected in the relations OF business
life. His funeral was attended from
the Baptist Church on Wednesday after
noon at l IL o'clock, the religious
services OF the occasion being con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Cunningham.

MRS! SURRArT's CASE. - Ex-Judge
Pierrepont on Saturday, in his argument
to the jury in the Surratt case, made an
important statement, which he verified
by producing the original record relative
to the execution of Mrs. Surratt. It has
been charged it will be remembered, that
the order for Mrs. Surratt's execution
was handed to the President by men,
Der OF the Cabinet, and that it was sign
ed without consultation. The following
verbatim extract from Judge Pierrepont's
speech tells the story. He said:
II have not come here for the purpose
of proving that Mrs. Surratt was guilty.
or that she was innocent; and I do not
understand why that subject was lugged
into this case In the mode it has been.
Nor do l understand why the counsel
denounced the Military Commission who
tried her, and thus indirectly censured,
in the severest manner, the President os
the United States. The counsel certain
ly knew, when they were talking about
tribunal, and when they were thus de-
nouncing it, that President Johnson or
dered with his own hand that Commits
sion, signed the warrant that directed
the execution that President johnson,
when that record was brought before
him, laid 1t before his Cabinet, and that
every member voted upon it, and that
they voted to confirm the sentence, and
that the President, with his own hand,
wrote his confirmation of it and with
his own hand signed the warrant.
hold In my hand the original record, and
no other man, it appears from that pvper
ordered it; no other one touched this
paper; and when it was suggested by
some of the members of the Commis-
sion that in consequence of the age and
the sex Of Mrs. Surratt it might possi-
bly, be right to change her senteace to
Imprisonment for life, he signed the
warrant for her death with the paper
right before his eyes and there it is,
(handing the paper to Mr.. Merrick).
My friend can read it for himself"

ISLAND PoND. - During a thunder
shower the oath inst, while Mr.. Dimond
Stone, with two hired men, were un-
loading hay, the barn, situated about a

fragments, and passing thence down a
post into the ground. The three men
and the horse were thrown from their
feet and severely stunned, but not Sc
riously injured. The barn did not take

late in any other receptacle for "a hours.
As to the means. will mention the
several means frst for removal:
l. The hogs may be removed to some
safe locality and the whey carried to
them. This is the best.
2. The pens may be so constructed
that no whey or excrements can drop
through the floors. The excrements and
surplus whey may be made to flow
through pipes. The pens may be wash
ed twice day in warm weather, and
all the garbage thus collected be carried
off into running stream OF water hav-
ing sufficient body OF water to largely
dilute these matters and sweep them
rapidly to distance. ...
Sd. The hogs may be moved to safe
distance and the whey conveyed to them
through leaden pipes.
As to purifying the grounds Of its
present filth. The hog house will have
to be lacked up so that all the filth be-
heath can be removed. The ground un-
der should then be sprinkled with lime
and the excavation filled with good
loan.
The pond should be drained and filled
or else the ditch now running near
should be opened so that current of
clean water can pass continually
through it. The question of these sew.
eral methods must be determined by the
question of cost. Yours respectfully,
M. GOLDSMITH.
