Crimes.

Crimes.
During the past week the authorities have un-
earthed q den of thieves in this community of
the most extensive nature. The principal ones
of the gang have been arrested, and the reput-
ed leader-Fox, is now in Jail. The other,
HENRY BowERs, whose arrest for burglary we
noticed last week, is under bonds to answer to
that charge. The operations of these men for
the past year in the thieyeing line have been
indiscriminate and extensive. On searching
their primises stolen property of almost every
kind and description was found and mea have
been visiting and inspecting during the week
to identify and claim missing articles, cloth
ing, dried and canned fruit, paints, brushes,
spades, shoyels chaines, and great variety OF
things have been found and claimed by men in
this, and adjoining towns Since the arrest of
these men, people in this vicinity have felt e
sense of relief For more than year past
nothing which a thief coatd carry away has
been deemed safe unless locked or boiled or
watched. Nearly every night some one has
lost property of some description, and people
had come to the conclusion pretty generally
that these takings-away were done by rowing
Nieves. Had it not been for this impression,
these violations of law-these plunderers of
their friends and neighbors, would have come
to grief before this time For the man, Fox,
there is not spark .ofsympathy for it is gener-
ally believed that he has been the instigator of
these crimes to a great extent. BowxEs has
made a full and free confession of bis own
guilt and that of his partner. The parents of
this young man are respectable, and highly
esteemed, and fer them there is much genuine
sympathy.
Yesterday, Andrew Babcock was examined
before justice Thorp on charge of rape. This
young man is now under bonds, charged with
burglary, on the primses of c. C. Gleason. His
partner in the affair, Hickok is now in Jail
awaiting his trial. Our town is getting some
what notorious of late in criminal matters, and
there is a fair prospect of our furnishing more

which lac turned to good account in
the practice of his profession. He
was reputed to be a man of sound
sense and strict integrity. He stood
well at the bar as q sound lawyer; and
though not highly distinguished as an
advocate, there were few young men
in this vicinity who had better repu-
tation for legal knowledge, or could
be more safely consulted as an advis-
er or counsellor. He had many warm
and devoted friends, and few, if any
enemies. He was, what is called, a
self-made man, not having had the
advantages of powerful or influential
friends to assist and patronize him in
the commencement of his practice. -
For the reputation he acquired as n
faithful and industrious lawyer, he
was indebted to his own habits of in
dustry and perseverance, and to those
alone. He was never married, and
left but few relatives to mourn his
loss.

Mrs Thomas Conner was frozen to death on

To meet Champlain, tho heart deplores,

Like silver shrcds, and crystals bright,
The frost did skinner in the air
Down swept the tempest from the height
VI towering White Face bold and bare.
Amid the binding snow that piled

Two forms were seen to wander Wild
A man and wifc--they haste-how vain.
At last they pause-the crusting ice

A trenchant fate more fell than wave
Yet back they sped, as fast as strength,

The wife exhausted, sank in tears.
Around her fragile, frozen form.
The husband wrapped her cloak, her shawl
To gave and shield her from the storm,
While aid he sought, but vainly-all.
For wilder rushed the northern blast.
With chilling breath her brow it kissed
The snow in tempest Numbered past,

The husband hied, and aid was near:
He sopke her cherished name he called,
No answer came; he quaked with fear,
His heart, his hopes, the silence palled

Her lips had lisped their last death PRAYER

History OF st. Adams.
by an old Resident.
PART XIX.
NATHANIEL d. ELDRIDoE

Came to St Adams in the year 1911,
from the State of Connecticut, which
was his native State. He had been
admitted to the bar then, but had not
been in practice but little, if any. He
made application for admission in this
county, and after some preparatory
study he was admitted in the winter
of lSl1-12 He commenced practice
in St Adams, and soon obtained a
considerable run of business, particu-
larry as a collecting attorny. He was
quite popular with considerable
portion of the federal party by whom
he was esteemed as young man of
talents, and deserving patronage; and
they threw into his hands all the bust
ness they could. He was somewhat
fond of military honors, and he was
made colonel of the regiment which
embraced the militia of the town of
st. Adams His health soon began to
fail; and he was advised to take a sea
voyage to milder and more genial
cline. Accordingly, in the summer
or autumn of 1919 he went to France
to try the climate of that country for
the improvement of his health. He
stayed in Bordeaux the following win
ter, and in the Spring he returned
to St Adams with improved health,
as he supposed. He again commenc-
ed business in his profession. But
the disease with which he was affiict-
ed soon assumed confirmed pulmon
airy character, and he died of con-
sumption in the summer of 1921.
Col. Eldridge was not reputed to be
great lawyer, not having arrived to
that age at which the mental facul
ties are supposed to be fully develop
ed or matured. His friends had full
confidence that if his life had been
spared he would have obtained high
ly respectable standingas a lawyer and
as citizen. Some four or five years
before his death he married Eliza Jones
daughter of Joseph Jones, one of the
early settlers, who died several years
before. Col. Eldridge's widow resid-
ed in St Adams some considerable
time after her husbands decease, but
finally removed to Upper Canada to
reside with her brother. She there
married a Mr.. Morris, and died sever
al years ago.
JOSHUA K. sMEDLEY
Was a native of Georgia in this coun-
ty, where he was born about the year
1888 or 81. He studied law with
Benjamin Swift, and was admitted to
the bar in 1909. In the next winter
1910 or IL he formed a partnership
with Gen. Elias Fasset of ST. Adams,
and removed to this village, where he
and his partner continued in the prac-
tice of law for several years, until the
connection was dissolved by the re-
moval of Fasset into Chittenden coun-
ty. Mr.. Smedley continued his bust
mes afterwards in this place for con-
siderable time, first alone, and then in
connection with Henry Adams, until
the summer of 1928, when he was at
tackled with a violent fever of which
be died. Fasset died in Burlington
some years before.
Mr.. Smedley had not the adyant-
aces of a classic education, except what
was attainable at the Franklin county
Grammar School in st. Adams. But
he was not an unlearned man. lie
made good use of the opportunities
which had been afforded him, and
treasured up a store Ct information
