LOVE AND Northumberland Gulf
Miss, last week, was the scene of one
of those tragedies of passion that ap.
pear more like romance than reality
A young man named Gushing loved a
Miss Andrews, pressed his suit, and
was refused. On Sunday last he rode
to her residence and without alight
ing begged to see her. When she ap.
peared, he shot her dead. He then
rode frantically away, but was pur,
sued by his victims brother, breath
ing vengeance against him. Andrew
overlook Gushing as he was crossing
creek, and fired at him. Gushing
jumped from his horse and took shell
ter in the bush. Andrews, not to be
at disadvantage, did the same. A
parley ensued. and the two young mer
agreed to fight according to the code
to leave the cover, fire, advance and
fire, and again advance, firing unit
one of them should fall. At the frst
fire Gushing received mortal wound
in the left shoulder, but the men con
tinued to near each other and fire, I'M
til their revolvers were empty. Wher
assistance arrived, Gushing lay dead
with four bullets in his body. An
drews had received three shots in bis
breast. He was able to tell how the
fight had taken place, when he also
expired.

WHY WE SAID "GOOD." do
not often apologise-nor is it often
necessary that we should, for we sell
dom say anything that displeaSes re-
spectacle people. But last week in
noticing the removal of Mr.. Bi8bce OF
Newport, from the deputy collector
ship, we used the expression good,
which a few persons have interpre-
ted as an expression of enmity on our
part, and that we were glad to be re-
venged. Not so. We feel friendly
towards Mr.. Bisbee and always have.
We had rather see him in that office
or any other than any other man III
these parts, but the fact is we are glad
to see any one removed from that
branch of the service, for we believe
it is worse than useless to keep them.
We think Mr.. Bisbee is the most re
spectacle one of the whole brood, but
are glad he has lost his head. We
hate to see a likely man in such dirty
company, for the chances are that il
a few years he will beat them at theil
own game.

wife would forsake a husband in his mis-
fortune, or even in his guilt, save for adul-
terry, and in that case the crime, aside from
the imprisonment would give the divorce.
But supposing she be not true wife, and
this is really the case to be provided for,
how has she right to be set free that she
may marry another? Or what benefit &C
crues to the State, to any other man whom
this untrue wife may marry, or even to
herself, by setting her free from marriage
VOWS which she has in her heart broken
that she may take others as lightly and
break them as vilely?
Thus it appears that 1873 out of $40, about
two-thirds of the divorces granted in Yer
mont, are granted for causes that are out
side of the biblical causes. In most case:
they are causes which either husband OF
wife can make if he or she desires to have
legal cause. Our courts are certainly con
STRUNG the laws more and more literally
in favor of disconnected wives and hus
bands. The popular sentiment is educat
ing under these laws and DEGREES of the
courts, into less and less sacredness of OBJ
legation in the marriage VOWS. Andwhen
ever any slight causes of conjugal infelici
ty arise in household, this popular senti
ment and administration of law, instead
of encouraging forbearance, and the mos
faithful efforts to remove them encourage
the parties to look for separation, which
thus becomes almost inevitable in the
course of time.
Moreover it is believed that few persons
seeking divorce for any other cause thar
adultery, even make their condition bette
than it would have been by forbearanc'
and faithfulness. And the children, i
any, receive loss and disgrace, and sens
of personal shame, which nothing can eve
efface.
A fearful responsibility rests upon on
Legislature and our courts, in this creates
of public interests.

In LUCK.-We learn that our old
friend Hazen Kimball (who was born
and raised in Barton) has been NOM
mated mayor of Hoboken, New Jer-
sey, and as he was nominated by re-
publicans and democrats, and his name
placed on the Citizens ticket besides,
we suppose there is not much doubt
of his election. We hope not. He
is a young man of excellent habits, and
possesses sterling business qualities.
industrious and perseveriDg. He went
to New York some ten years ago
penniless, was taken into the employ
of his cousin, 7. G. Kimball, provision
merchant, and in two or three years
was taken into full partnership; about
two years ago he retired from the
firm worth, as we are informed, some
$4,000. He then went to Hoboken,
going into partnership with an old
firm of lumber dealers, he taking the
management of the business, and is
now piling up money fast enough, be-
sides being enabled to dabble sufficient

Since the above was in type we
learn that he has been elected.

FOREIGN MINISTER'S. L. Motley

FOREIGN MINISTER'S. L. Motley
has been appointed minister to Eng
land-the best that could be made
probably, and if president Grant is as
fortunate in the selection of all this
nations representatives to foreign
courts and of the various consulates,
he will have no need to be ashamed
of them. Mr. Motley was late minis
ter to Austria, but was recalled, or
resigned, in consequence OF little
"unpleasantness' existing between him
and president Johnson in regard to
"my policy" He is a Massachusetts
man, which gives that noble old state
the lions share of the high offices,
she having two members in the cabi-
net, but we do not care if Grant takes
all his officers FROM one school district
provided he knows his men, and they
prove to be the best men. We do
not, nor have ever, believed in the
scatteration policy that is advocated
by the majority of men, merely to
crafty the pride of certain localities
or to accommodate a few hungry men
with a national teat. That policy
has foisted upon the nation a set of
lecherous demagogues heretofore, and
we hope to see Grant shun that rock
upon which so many former presi
dents have foundered their ship

the purpose of discussing the propriety of
the establishment of distinct grade of

Resotced, That it is the opinion of this
meeting that the establishment of grades
and the selection of standards of extra SUI

REMARKS.-April l3.-There is an unusual
ly meagre amount of stock in the yards to-day
only about l72 head. Still we can see no i'm
provement in trade. The late depression in pri-
ces holds its own at least. One year ago this
week we quoted extra cattle at Is Is l-2c per
| Id and large lot of best western at 10 lie,
| 3Osk. Compared with report of sales this week,
the conclusion must be that the world moves,
and that the market favors the eaters-a fact that
we commend to the attention of special commits
soner, David A. Wells. There were few good
bullocks at market this week, there could
have been one year ago, for those from Hatfield
cannot be beat-as Mr.. Learnard said, 81 don't
want any BETTER" and he usually wants the best.
April l4.-On account ofthe occurrence fast
day last week we were obliged to close our re-
port one day earlier than uiual, and were unable
to include all the stock for that week, as 1901
cattle and 3400 sheep were received and sold af-
ter our report was closed. Deducting these, it
appears that this weeks supply is reduced TO
2l30 cattle, and $50 sheep. Trade was quite
brisk and lively to-day, but prices remained ab-
out the same as last week.
