lady 10 Noble or Elkhart county. Being
a farmer Of limited means, il appears
that he could not support the style in
which his wife desired to live, and family
Jars followed close upon the heels Of the
honeymoon. In this state Of things, the
young husband resolved TO 20 TO Califor.
MIA and make his pile" and accor-
dinghy left for that golden land few
weeks before the birth Of the boy in
question. Arriving in California, he
went to work with will, and soon accu-
mulated an encouraging amount Of the
glittering dust, and, good man that he
was, RENTED handsome sums TO his wife
on several occasions-the last remittance
being eleven hundred dollars, with orders
TO sell the farm and join him in Caliior-
nia.
Meanwhile, however, the wife had
made the acquaintance Of a pettifogger-
a killing ladies man then travelling
the circuit in some capacity or other
which resulted in divorce from the Cali.
fornia husband and marriage to the pet
tifogger. Some mystery hung about this
marriage for a long time, and we do not
know that it is yet cleared up. Whether
they were married before or after the OBJ
tanning Of the divorce, or how it was that
husband No. 2 was playing young man
among the girls of Bluiiton for a year or
more after the marriage, or why the
nuptials were SO long kept from even the
most intimate friends of the interloping
bridegroom, these are, perhaps, irrele.
want questions at this time. 1t is suiii.
cient to say that by one of those strange
and unaccountable political revulsions
which sometimes take place in this
country, and by which very obscure and
improper men are lifted into Office, the
pettifogger aforesaid was elevated to the
position of Circuit Judge in 1858. He
soon after brought his wife and children
to this place, and built palatial resi-.
dence in the suburbs, where they have
since resided, and where the California
husband next saw his truant wife, AMI
first beheld his boy, on Wednesday, jan
uary 3, 1867.
The rest of the story is soon told.
Husband No. |, having become wealthy,
journeyed from California to Button for
his boy-got him-and the two are now
on their way back to the Golden State.

DEATH OF ELIJAH s. HAREos.-The
Burlington Times gives the following
just and appreciative tribute to Cadet
Harmon, son OF william Harmon, Esq,
of Shelburne:
Elijah S. Harmon of Shelburue, who
died on Monday last at the residence of
his father Mr.. VIM. Harmon, was
Young man of unusual moral worth and
mental promise. A lover of knowledge
for its own sake he was man of high
scholarly ambition, and fixed determina-
ton to make his honorable mark In the
world. His intellectual ardor was, we
regret to say, but lily sustained by a
physical constitution, whose natural
cOusumptive prediction had been
fatally aggravated about two years ago
by severe attack of Inflammation OF
the lungs. About six months since while
maintaining high rank in the Sopho.
more class of the University of Vermont,
Mr.. Harmon received through the kind
offices of Hon. Portus Baxter an appoint
ment TO West Point, an opportunity for
a thorough education that he fully ap.
preciated, and that had long been with
him an object of anxious attainment.
To fit himself fully for the trying ordeal
OF the searching physical examination
he bent his whole energies, and with APP
parent success until about month ago,
and just about Il week before he would
have presented himself, he was brought
down to his bed with violent bleeding
at the lungs, since when he has gradu-
ally sunk until his death. MIR. Harmon
was q man of keen, acute intellect, that
could have ensured his eminence in any
profession that he had chosen, and these
fine mental qualities joined to just and
manly disposition won him the love aud
respect Of all, both old and young who
enjoyed his intimate acquaintance. His
early death is an occasion OF deep sorrow
not only to his family, but to his many
friends in this community.

the VERMONT RBFORN SCHoOL.-We
give place with pleasure to the fol
lowing communication relative to
the Vermont Reform School, having
reason to believe 1t was written by one
of the most intelligent and experienced
gentlemen in New England, whose famil.
iarity with similar institutions give him
the advantage Of looking at the progress
made and its general operations from a
higher stand point than those who have
only witnessed the growth of this one
school:
WATERBURY,, Vt, June q.
A little more than year since | wrote
you some account of the State Reform
School at this place, which was then
just established, and promised good re-
suits Visiting 1t again after such an
interval, it is plain even to casual OBJ
server that it has been successful In
more ways than one, 1t now contains
nearly forty boys, and is being extended
to make room for them. From all parts
of the State which have sent children,
expressions of satisfaction come up for
the manner in which they have been re-
ceived and treated. One old sinner,
whose son was sent here much against
his fathers wish (who preferred that he
should go to the States PRISON., on Wis
iting the boy at the Reform School, was
so much impressed with what he saw
and heard, that he decided that che had
never been in so good plaCe-he wished
he could be admitted himself" The
restraints imposed on the boys are very
few compared with those usually thought
necessary, and the tendency of the man
ayers is to greater freedom rather than
less.
The trustees Of the school, under the
modified law OF 1866, are Charles Reed,
Lewis Pratt and Lewis A. Dunn, two OF
whom were commissioners to establish
it, The third commissioner, Rev. A. q.
Pease, is now the uperintendent, as, In
fact, he has been from the first BY
their regulations the boys study four
hours day, work six, play two, give two
to their meals and nine or ten TO sleep.
They are apt scholars and dllllgent
workers. Besides Cultivating the farm,
they have done good deal OF cane work
on chairs, at which some boys Will earn
fifty or sixty cents day. The whole
amount of the earnings Of less than
twenty boys at this work in eight months
has been $3.50, or more than $50 month.
| AT this rate the hundred chair shop boys
at Westboro ought to earn 50, OOO year,
but believe they do not.
There is more difficulty experienced in
| getting places for these boys than Is
found in Massachusetts, demand
for boys labor not being so great in
Vermont as in Massachusetts yet the
class OF boys is, on the whole, better
than in our reform schools, and more
like ordinary schools for poor children
There are no girls here, as in the New
Hampshire reform school, nor are they
about opening a separate school for
| girls, as in Connecticut. They may
come by and by.
