ATTEMPTED MURDER BY VERMoNTER.-
Rum must have caused this brutal attempt
at murder, at Lancaster, \. H., Monday
evening Capt A. NJ Beattic of Bruins
wick, Vt, stepped up to George llillard,
livery stable keeper at the American House,
and demanded the key of the liquor room.
As IIllard replied that he had not the key,
Beattie assaulted him, saying, = have
knife eight inches long, and you'll yet it in
your heart before morning lie refused TO
he pacifed but procured his knife, and
struck at llillard from behind. wonnding him
slightly on the head. \ second blow as he
turned took effect in his left hIp, the knife
breaking in the bone. Then IIillard, real
zing that his life was at stake, felled him,
and kicked him into insensibility. Both

An Act OF JUsrIcE.-Many of our reader
will remember that it was reported that
private VIM. II. Rowlev. Company F. Sth
Vt Regiment, son of Horace Rowlev, while
in rebel prison at Salisbury in lSO5, had
enlisted in the rebel service. The truth in
relation to his supposed descrtion as set forth
by the sworn deposition Of the orderly ser
geant of his company, f. b. Wright, who
was fellow prisoner with young Rowley, Is
that the latter was very much cnieebled by
disease. exposure and starvation, and that
he with others was offered better food and
treatment, and release from loathsome
=. prison pen if they would engage in work
for the rebels That Rowley and some of
his comrades Wright among them) TO save
life, went out to labor, but the change from
starvation diet To strong food was too much
for Rowley's enfecbled frame. and soon after
eating he was taken To- the hospital. and
twenty minutes later was a corpse. That he
did not enlist in the rebel service nor take
the oath of allegiance t. the COntcdcracy.
In accordance with this and the deposition
of other comrades the remark upon the re
cords Of the War Department against the
