DARING ROBBERY AND MURDER
A horrible crime was committed on the
western bound train of the Grand Trunk
Railroad about two o'clock last week
Sunday morning. A young man named
Sykes of Canton, N. Y, took the cars at
Prescott, opposite Ogdensburgh, and soon
after starting was accosted by man sit
ting near, and asked if he was not going
to take a sleeping car. As they stepped
out on the platform, two men came out
of the sleeping car. One held the door
of the sleeping car and the other the
door of the car out of which Mr.. Sykes
had just stepped. They then demanded
his money or his life. Mr.. Sykes then
handed over his money, his watch and
valise, and then begged of them to spare
his life, but the heartless villains threw
him overheard, hoping thereby to hide
their crime. Mr.. Sykes was found the
next morning in an insensible condition,
the vital spark having almost fed. He
rallied only sufficiently to give the fore
going particulars before his death. The
Railway Company have taken the mat
ter in hand and are determined to arrest
and punish the criminals if possible. One
of them has been arrested.

Novel Election Bet.


A novel election bet was paid in Ports
mouth. N. H., on Saturday last About
5000 people were present. The bet was
with Mr.. True w. Jones, brother of
Mayor Jones, late democratic candidate
for senator. By the terms of the bet, if
Hartman was elected Governor, Mr..
Jones was to carry sack of meal, weigh
ing one hundred pounds, strapped on his
back, from Mobiles Island bridge to
Greek bridge without resting; distance,
one and one-third miles. He was ac-
compamied by the Portsmouth Cornet
Band and attendants, with the Union
flag and banner inscribed:
"This bag is but slight representa-
ton Of the burdens of taxation that
weighs heavy upon the laboring classes of
this country"
Next came a large delegation of re-
publicans, headed by the Union Cornet
Band, with war flag and banner with
the following inscription
"What Caused Taxation 2"
Answer" The War;"
"Who Caused the War;"
Answer" The Democratic Party"
The streets on both sides were lined
with people, and hundreds of carriages
blocked the streets. The feat was sue
cessfully performed and Mr.. Jones was
received with tremendous cheering on
completing the task. Mr.. Horton, re-
publican, then shouldered the bag of
meal and without strap or music carried
it back over the same route, attended by
cheering crowd of friends, and was en-
Enthusiastically applauded. Horton won
the bag and bet of ten dollars. The
bag was sold at auction for $40, for the
benefit of Mr.. Horton. A. G. Sides, the
purchaser, gave it back to Mr.. Horton.

Impeachment advanced another step
this week. The Court was in session on
Monday and Tuesday. On Monday the
Presidents counsel put in his answer to
to the articles of impeachment. A mo,

days delay to prepare for trial was voted
down, III to Al. His plea amounts to an
admission of the truth of the charges but
denies the guilt. One thing is decidedly
significant. He denies the correctness 0.

speech, and also of his speeches while

On Tuesday the House put in their repli-
cation to the answer of the President.
Mr.. SUMNER moved that the trial then
proceed daily, Sundays excepted. Mr..
EDMUNDs moved that the Senate retire
for consultation which prevailed, and
after deliberatisn the Senate returned
and. the Chief Justice announced that the
Senate had adopted an order to proceed
with the trial on Monday next.

SAD AFFAIR ON CATsKILL MOUNTAINS.
The Catskill Recorder says that on the
night of the I'd inst, one of the coolest
and most wintry of the season, VIM. Oh
ivers house, on the bleak mountain road,
was entirely consumed by fire, the inmates
only having time to escape in their night

six years, and Mrs. Oliver, with an infant
of three months in her arms, started for
the nearest neighbours, half mile dis.
tant, leaving four older children to keel
warm, if possible, near the burning
building. The parents and accompany.
ing children, however, sank down in the
snow exhausted, and not far from the
haven they had attempted to reach
Early in the morning, while the neighbor
was feeding his cattle, he discovered Mrs
Oliver imbedded in huge drift, badly
frozen and insensible, and strange to re

in badly frozen condition. 1t is feared
that the infant is the only member o

STATE OF VERMONT.
A Proclamation.
BY JOHN d. HAoE, GOVERNOR.

4
OF old the Prophet proclaimed unto
the people: "Sanctify We fast, call
solemn assembly, gather the elders and
the inhabitants of the land unto the house
of the Lord your God, and cry unto the
Lord" The fathers obeyed the command,
and left the custom a rich legacy unto
the children.
In compliance Herewith, and recogni-
zing our dependence upon God who
may turn "a fruitful land into barren
ness, for the wickedncss of those that
dwell therein do hereby appoint FRI
DAY, THE TENTH DAY OF APRIL next, to
be observed as a day of FASTING, nuMIL-
IATIoN AND PRAYER.
Let us on that day abstain from secular
employments, and gather in our places
of solemn assembly" and there de-
voutly engage in prayer with confession
for our sins.
Let us humbly seek aid from the source
of all wisdom, for those in authority,
that they may discern the right, regard
the safety, honor and welfare of the peo-
pie, that judgment may be executed in
the sight of the nation; thus shall UNION
and peace be restored to all the land.
Let AIS implore the blessing of God
that honorable labor may receive its re-
ward, that the ground give her increase,
and that all may eat in plenty and be
satisfied; that wasting sickness come not
near our habitations; that our institu-
tons Of learning be prospered, and above
all that pure religion may prevail in all
our borders.
In our snpplications let us seek the in
tercession of our only Mediator and Adj
vocate, Jesus Christ thus may, our fast
prove acceptable to the Lord, that he
deal not with us according to our iniqui-
ties.
Given under my hand and the Seal of
the State in the Executive Chamber
at Rutland, this eighteenth day of
[L 81 March, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty
eight, and of the Independence of
the Unitsd States the ninety-second.

The Vice Presidency.

Mr.. EDITOR; see you are for Col
FAX for Vice President. There is not
better man for the place in the United
States. Vermont, unlike all the Other
states, has no home candidate. Let us
then throw aside personal preferences,
and ego in" to win.
r. f. Fenton of New York, has twice
been elected Governor. The last time
when the Republicans, soon after, with
out him in the field, were beaten 10000.
We lost heavily in last years elections
in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio,
doubtless because Grant was then appar-
emily the coming candidate Of the demo
cratic party. Now heis our candidate, and
with him are we not sure of Pennsylvania
and Ohio, and with Fenton for Vice
President, can we not carry New York!
There is no fear of the traitor in Fenton
in case of accident. ID.

The rebel spirit has recently shown
itself mostunmistakably in various parts
of Tennessee. A secret organization ex-
lists called the .Knklnx Khan who make
it their special business to annoy and
even assassinate Union men In Mem
phis, on the night of the 31st inst, they
attempted to assassinate Judge Hunter
Of the City Court. ,whose life was only
saved by being forewarned Of his danger
by faithful celored man, and such ter
rorism has been, created that the Court
has been obliged to adjourn its sessions
till it can b.. protected. The same vio-
lence and terror prevails in other parts
of the State, and one of the Union men,
bers Of Congress from Tennessee has also
received an anonymous warning from
the Klan." Such is the rebellious spirit
existing in the South, constantly fostered
by the rebel press whose violent incite.
mentsare only equalled by those put forth
in the palniest days of the rebellion.
Worst of all; thisssate of things has been
permitted to grow by the present Admin.
istration which, though elected by the
loyal people, was brought into immediate
power by assassination, and then deserted
to the enemy. Now shall we elect Presi
dent this year who will allow these thing
to continue? Can there be one man VIII,
honestly supported the party which pu
down the rebellion, who can now go owe,
and put the country into the hands o
that party which was part of the rebel.
