some private letters that have been

dered victims were union men. One
ms ance was recorded of an old man
nearly eighty, who was taken from
his bed aud hung TO the limb Of a
Tree. Another writer related how
few nights previous he was sitting
with friends family in the parlOr,
when ashot was fired at them through
the window, but without effect
The fiend took deliberate aim, and
snapped his gun three times which
was distinctly heard by the inmates,
but was supposed to be the cracking
of the wood fire. Another letter
written by the clerk of the court,

The Marble Quarries of Vermont.

From the Correspondence Springfield Republican
Rutland is the center of the Yer
mont marble region. There is much
marble everywhere. The quarres at
the center, at West Rutland, Bran
don and Sutherland's station, arc all
being fully worked and the amount
Of freight yielded to the railroad is
immense Some of these quarries
were in earlier times operated just
enough TO take in and swallow up
several well-endowed companies
A principal reason Of their failure
was that they could not make up
their minds relentlessly to blast off
and shovel out the defective marble
on the surface. To destroy marble
seemed to them by natural illusion,
like throwing away money conse>
qucntly hey cut it out at great ex-
pense, for which its quality made
poor return. Now other companies
have come in; and with getting the
works cheap, having the quarries
well opened, protiting by the expert
ences Of their predecessors, and in
Producing the general use OF steam
drills, great deal of money is being
made in this industry. Everything
that comes out Of the quarries is now
put to use, tor counters 10 stores, for
tishmongers tables and parlor tables,
for washstands and bureau tops, while
even the smallest blocks are cut mp
for the bases of kerosene lamps. In
the vicinity of the quarries, however
the marhia can be had SO cheap that
a very gentecl marble pig sty may
be constructed at q lees expense than
from wood. The pigs thus reared |
are Supposed to be remarkable for |
the delicacy of their taste.

The Australian Slave-Trade.

The unhappy beings forcibly kid

TO be revived on their voyage, and
ten, fifteen, sometimes twenty per
cent of the human cargo perish, part
Is from homcsickness and despair,
partly from ilI.usage aud partly from
starvation. The only object of the
SLAYER is to land living human be-
ings, with few exceptionally living
specimens. He then portions his
cargo ont into lots, and the planters
take their chances Of getting their
moneys worth out of the purchases.
The prices paid is not generally
heavy-only $50 per head but it
shows a constant tendency TO rise,
and taking into account the brevity
Of the voyage tho business must pay
remarkably well. A cargo of hun
dred is frequently taken by a small
brig aud not more than three months

must be very high-far more than
