A WOMAN SHOOTS HER HUSBAND,
CHILDREN AND SIsTER.-The Semaphore
of Marseilles relates that horrible crime
was committed in that city the other
morning. In an inn of the Pharo, violent
disputes had for some time past been car
ried on between Bonnefoy, the master of
the house, and his wife. The woman had
been carrying on an intrigue with man
in the neighborhood, and the husband
had threatened to shoot her if she did not
desist. The wife's sister sided with the
husband. On the day in question, Mad
anne Bonnefoy got up quietly, and srming
herself with a six-barrel revolver, fred it
off successfully at her sister, two of her
children, and her husband, ending by dis
charging another barrel upon her own

Chandler writes in the Middlebury Regis
ter, the following incident of rare
presence of mind on the part of two boys
at East Iiddlebury:
The remarkable incident of the three
little boys, occurred last week, on the
Iron Forge grounds. Two of thu little
boys were twins, and sons Of the agent,
Mr.. Pearsons. There is barrel sunk
into the ground standing on end, with
but few inches projecting ont, and re-
mains uncovered. This is constantly
filed with spring water. These little
boys were playing, ~ usual, about the

twin boys fell, accidentally, head foremost
into the barrel Of water. The other twin

struggling in the water grappled hold Of

IMPROVEMENTS IN TIE Troy House.
Some time since, when it was announce
ed that G. III. Jones had purchased the
Troy House property, 1t was also stated
that he proposed to make such improve
ments to the hotel as would render it sec
ond to none in this section Of the country.
Immediately upon the purchase, Dir. j.
set out to improve, adorn and decorate the
house. A corps of mechanics, painters,
carpenters, masons, decorator and uphols-
tererr, was employed, and for six weeks
past, the hotel has been most completely
in their hands. We begin TO see now the
evidences of their handiwork. The change
IN the appearance of the hotel is marvel
lous, and the old Troy House once more
looms mp among the most elegant and
beautiful Of the hotels Of the country.
Our citizens begin 10 feel a local pride in
it, aud they can but commend the good
taste displayed, and the generous oxpen-
iiture Of money manifest in the improve
mcnt@ being made. The hotel Will be
put in complete order from cellar to gar.
ret in week or two more. Already the
dining hall, office and rotuud1 are COM
pleted, and what change No one can
recognize these apartments now in the
great transformation that has taken place.
Tho dining hall is very elegant, tho ro-
tuuda converted into.a reading room and
tar, and the Office completely metirnor-
phosed. This morning the parlur carpets
-elrgant velvet tapestry laid IN
the pirlors, which have been Handsomely
decorated, and to-day the p,rlJrs viii BE-
ready for the reception OF guests. Alad-
din's lamp has also shed its illuminating
rays over the sleeping rooms and private
parlor- OF the hotel. The furniture, which
Is all either rosewood or mahogany, has
been brushed up, the rooms newly car
,peted, and the beds put up III the best
condition possible. The repairs to the
hotel in every department are perfect in
every respect. Nothing Can bc suggested
to reach completeness in detail. aud the
Troy House now Is III better order than
ever before. Mr.. Jone- has done Il great
work. He started out with the intention
Of expanding fifteen thousand dollars
upon the house Already the repair,
reach nearly twenty-five thousand dollars
The fact tells its own story. and once
more commends the hotel 10 the travelling
public. The change III tbs looks of the
establishment is not the only thing OBJ
servable but better order among the
walters, a better table, better attention 20
guests, more genial welcome 10 all, are
among the silent but potent changes
which have come over the spirit OF the
old Troy Houses dreams. All thanks to

TIE STREETS IL LoNDoN.-In an in
teresting letter to the Troy Times, it,
editor communicates the following
street observations
eve take a stroll through the streets
How do the people look will be- the nat
ural inquiry Of the reader Well, to tell
you the truth. they look very much like
our people. They are dressed. perh1p~, a
little poorer. The women you meet in
the great thoroughfares bear indeed a
shabby appearance compared 60 those we
see in the streets of our Arnc rican cities.
They look careworn and ovcrworkcd.
We see very few who can boast Of the
rudy cheeks and other evidence, of Wig
orous health so commonly attributed in
our country TO English women II may
be remarked, however. that as a rule only
the poorer classes of English women are
to be seen in the streets Of London.
But Of the men The only or marked
difference to be discovered between them
and our own people - we observe them
at home and this you will see at a glance
is the pred0minance of the ''stove-pipe
hat" Men and boys, all who wish to be
considered respectable, all in fact who
would assimilate to responsibility of man
hood, or as for that matter responsibility
of boyhood beyond fourteen years of ago
must doff the inevitable beaver You
must not regard comfort (which in most
things is esteemed peculiarly an English
idea of life-you, masculine, man or boy
must disregard that and every other corr
sideration except obedince to fashion, in
the matter of your head gear-you must,
at any and every sacrifice, wear the I'M
wieldly and to many of rs the awkw ird
beaver
SO in the streets here none but the low
and vulgar among men and boys are to
be seen without this accompaniment of
" respectability." Indifferently or poorly
dressed otherwise, the Englishman will
have his stovepipe." The "cabby" is
beneath his profession without it; the
vender Of notions and the crier of trinkets
in the streets must have it. Soft and
easy hats and caps, such as are common
and fashionable with us, are here con-
demned as decidedly and altogether loaf
erish. And SO it is, looking upon the
street from my hotel window here, dis
Germ the multitude in the long and surg
ing line of black beavers, with only now
and then a "slouchy" head covering to
mark the British estimate of loafer
+" Blessed be the man who invented Sleep"
said Sancho Panza; but still more blessed
mus: be the fellow who invented the
"stovepipe" hat, by which everybody
has the means to buy one can advestise
himself as respectable throughout her
Majesty's dominions. FF

Yet, 30 it was, and the tracts were
distributed in the towns along the ronte,
begging them not to bond to build rail
road TO Rutland.
1t was rare manifestation Of disintcr-
estedness, and one that ought to be re-
membered Of the authors by the people Of
Rutland, and will be remembered by the
towns of Mendon, Chittendea, She1bugn,
and P1ttsfeld most assuredly.

give them or some Of them 50 to under

THAT BREAK.--The st. Adams Meesen-
ger says:
We quite agree with the Free Press
when il says: Then we trust that such
an arrangement one that shall do away
with the break of connections at Rutland
on the through line via the Harlem and
Lebanon Valley Road will be speedily
completed Western Vermont has waited
good while for a reliable line to and
from New York, and we trusts its hope of
such line by the new route is not to be
much longer deferred.
There are many others that agree with
the Free Press and Times in this matter.
The through arrangement cannot but be
for the advantage of all the roads on the
line, as well as for the public. We can
imagine no good reason why there should
be delay in concentrating an arrange
ment mutually beneficial to all concerned,
