/" john WARD, OR THE VIcrrM1zrD

"JoHN WARD, OR THE VIoTIMIzED
Assassin. This is the title of a little
book written by Rev. +. Butler, chap
lain of the State prison, containing an
account of the murder of Mrs. Griswold
at Williston, in 1865, and of the trial
and confession of the murderer, John
Ward alias Jerome Lavigne. 1t is a
book of 1873 pages, and will be read with
much interest, indeed it is not too much
to say it will be read with deep interest.
1t gives an account, so far as could be
obtained, of the life of one of the hun
dreds of assassins and villains who live
in New York or some other city, and
make "sorties" out upon the country
The case of Ward is one Of the deepest
and hardest in crime. From what we
had heard, we had rather come to the
conclusion that the chaplain had bestow-
ed more sympathy upon Ward, than was
deserved, but on reading this book, more
particularly the conclusion" we are OF
the opinion that the chaplain did no
more than his duty, and in fact that he
worked hard on the most barren soil, for
Ward seems to have shown no repentance,
but on the other hand showed the most
(" coarse grained conscience" ever put
forth by anybody. For instance he in
Inmates that he was not guilty of the
murder of Mrs. Griswold, because he only
held her hands, while another assassin
cut her throat His confession" gives
nothing as to other crimes which he nc
doubt had committed, and it is very
doubtful if he told the truth in the one
he did give, the main feature of which i;
that there was another assassin besides
himself. The whole shows the career o
one STEPPED in ~crime, and from which
young men can draw a lesson, especially
when they propose to leave the parenta
roof to act " on their own hook" They
can see the result OF bad company, anC
how ruffians will desert each other, fol-
they never even live up to the old adagt
of honor among thieves" The pric'
of the book is 60 cents. Address Jour
nal office, Windsor VT.

A DEAD LocK.-The town of Cayen-
dish is without Town Agent. A suit
had been commenced against the town
by o. P. Clay of Chester, for damage al
legged to have been caused to his team by
insufficiency of highway. The Agent,
Mr.. M. Wright, after having examined
the premises, and made inquiries Of the
witnesses, disliking litigation, deemed it
best to pay the plaintiff sixty dollars
rather than defend the suit. This sum
he agreed to pay, but the Selectmen took
the ground that he had no legal right to
settle suit, that the Agent could only
prosecute and defend, and refused to
draw the order for the payment of that
sum, taking the case out of the Agents
hands At this g dead lock, Mr.. Wright
resigned. Query.-Can Town Agent
settle law suit without the approval Of
the Selectmen, or must an Agent carry
on a suit to the utmost extent the courts
will permit

PRocToRsvILLE.-The exhibitions re-
Gently held at Howe's Hall, have been
quite an attraction in Proctorsyille, and
attended with interest. The players are
mostly Mr.. Howe's family and boarders,
and they perform in a manner highly
creditable, and we congratulate Mr..
Howe on his literary household.
Gov. Fletcher has returned home from
Saratoga, but still continues in poor
health. We trust the approaching sea-
son may be more favorable for him.
The hotel at Proctorsville, keptb by Mr..
Howe, is earning for itself an excellent
reputation for kindness and attention to
the wants of strangers and guests. With
it is also connected good livery stable,
which those who 60 there will find very
convenient, if they wish to take a trip
from the village.

GONG HOME WITH THE GIRLs.--
Quite breeze was raised in Fairfax last
week by the suspension of twelve and
the expulsion of two students from the
Institute, for violation of one of the by
laws. The rule broken was one which
prohibits the student from walking or
holding conversation with young ladies
in public places, and the violation in
this instance was that the fourteen stu
dents, who are members of the Fairfax
Lodge of Good Templars, escorted each
Il young lady to her home from meet
ing of the Lodge. Twelve of them ac-
knowledged their error" but two, not
seeing Gin that light" were expelled
We suppose such rules as the one violat-
ed are necessary for the preservation of
discipline in institutions of learning, but
if enforced as rigidly in all institutions
of learning as in the Fairfax Institute,
we opine that in some instances the fac
ulty would have but bare walls to which
to impart Observation-Disclosures Free
Press.

ANOTHER VICTIM TO Low BRIDGES.
Mr.. w. Henry Bixby,a fireman on
the Rutland & Burlington railroad, was
knocked off a train near Proctorsville on
Saturday last. and instantly killed. He
was cautioned about the bridge before

widower, and about q years Of age, a
young man much respected, of good hab-

who has been killed at that bridge.

The scene Of the accident was in front OF

The motion was lost. i8l
Alderman Woodford moved that the tax
on circus or menagerie be reduced TO
SIS per day. The motion failed for want
Of q second.
The bill then passed on third reading,
but on motion of Alderman Campbell a
reconsideration was had, when another
section was introduced requiring the law
TO 90 into effect on the 1st of May, and
making it misdemeanor for any person
! following the business named to do 80
without said license-the penalty to be not
less than So nor more than $50. l1 es1
The amendment was adopted, and the
bill passed upon its third reading.
The bill offered by Alderman Woodford,
defining the manner Of building streets,
was called up and elected considerable
discussion.
Alderman Campbell opposed its passage
bitterly, in lengthy argument. q Il J
Mayor Glenn advocated lis passage, be-
lieying that it was just and would answer
the purpose. II would not only be the
cheapest mode, but in the end would give
more satisfaction, and prevent that log
i rolling which has been SO damaging to the
interests of Nashville. .-..s..- $500.
Alderman Child opposed the bill on the
ground that the taxation just now would
be onerous and unequal, and its passage
would result in suits at law.

Death Of Hon. .. J. W. IocAey

We regret to have to announce the death
of Hon. Seth ]. w. Luckey, Chancellor Of
the First Chancery District of Tennessee,
which sad event occurred at his residence
in Jonesborough on Friday evening, the
10th instant, says the Knorulle Press and
Herald. The friends of the deceased have
been prepared for such an event, as it has
been evident for some time, that his gen.
eral system wss fast giving way under the
accumulation of years and the arduous and
almost incessant labors of his Office. Chan
cellor Luckey, for more than a quarter of
a century, had filled the judicial station,
and has left behind him an unblemished
reputation. Throughout his life he illus.
trated the cxcelleneies of the Christian
character, and his death creates vacancy
both in public and private life that but
few are qualified to fill.
