PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.
"A Washington dispatch to the Bos-
ton Journal says: "The Union Repub-
lican Congressional Executive Com
mittce has rendered an account of its
stewardship during the last political
campaign, by which it appears that
the amount OF cash receipts was $64,-
206. Of this, New York contributed
$500; Massachusetts, s5,1O5; Ohio,
2,ll0; New Hampshire, 81, 800; Mich
lgan, 1887; Pennsylvania, $1,745 !;
Vermont, 81 ,593 and so down-Maine
having given but $500, and Rhode
Island but S444. The diplomatic of
ficers abroad contributed $4,492, and
large sums were received from post
masters and others holding federal
offices. The expenses of printing and
circulating campaign documents was
$34, TAO. Each of the unreconstruct-
ed states received about $500, and
the transportation of voters from here
to the state election in Maine, and to
the presidential election in New York,
New Jersey, and Connecticut, cost
81, 623. Other items swelled the en-.
tire expenses of the campaign, so far
as the National Committee was con.
cerned, to $61, l96. The documents
distributed were of about fifty. differ,

MURDER AT RYE, n. Y.-Mamar.
oneck, April 2S.-Last night Gilbert
Robinson, a jeweller of Rye Neck, op-
posite Mamaroneck, was found dead
in his bed in his store. His skull had
been crushed by blow of a gun bar
rel in the hands of some person I'm.
known. The deceased was last seen
on Monday night at 10 o'clock al
work in his store. As it was pre-
sumed he had gone to New York tol
goods, the fact that the store remain
ed closed on Monday did not excite
remark. Mr.. Robinson had abop
S7OO on his person. The murder
creates intense excitement. The cor
oner will hold an inquest this after
noon.

Murder Trial.

Henry Welcome, lad of only II,
was tried at the late term of the Chit
tenden Co. Court for the murder of
Mr.. Perry Russell, man of seventy
six years of age, and convicted. The
murder was perpetrated ia October
last, and we gave a tolerably full &C
count of it at the time. He went to
the door of Mr.. Russell who lived
alone with his wife in a thinly settled
portion of the town of Hinesburgh,
called him to the door, (he had retir-
ed to bed) and when the door was
opened he struck him with strap
hinge upon the head several blows
and killed him. Mrs. Russell, altho'
old and infrm, ran out OF the back
door to a neighbor's and alarmed
them, who went with her to her home
and found the old man dead. Wei
come was arrested the next day. The
crime was committed for the purpose
of robbery; but we believe the muir
derer got no money. Ever since his
arrest he has manifestde the utmost
unconcern in regard to the matter,
and has shown an amount of hardi-
hood and natural villany that we could
hardly deem possible in one of his
years. He confessed the crime to a
confederate in Jail, and also gave ut
terance to his sorrow in not fixing
the "old woman with his skull crack
er, as he termed the weapon with
which he killed Mr.. Russell We APP.
pend the following from the Free
Press:
1t is rare in any community, that a
boy of II is found guilty of a cold
blood murder, planned and executed
solely by himself But that a lad of
that age, of honest though humble pa
rentage, not reared in the slums of a
great city, no graduate of the Five
Points, but born and brought up in as
orderly, quiet and moral village as
there is in New England or in the
world, should be the perpetratOr Of
one Of the most atrocious and brutal
murders known in this state, commit
ted solely for plumber, is strange i'll.
deed. 1t seems to open new view
Of the possibilities for evil in human
nature. \
He was, to all seeming the most uu-
concerned and Indifferent spectator of
the trial. Even the terrible verdict
brought no blenching to his eye or
tremor to his person. He left The
court room with smile of hardihOod
upon his face, and few moments after
his return to jail tho owning that his
case looked "a little rough" he sat
down to a game of cards with one OF
two other prisoners, and apparently
enjoyed it as much as any of them
Such Indifference would seem possible
only in very low grade of intellec
and moral sense. Yet the boy is nj
idiot, far from it. What he might be
come if allowed to 90 on in a career
OF crime thus commenced, it is fearful
to surmise. But the law has laid it
stern grasp upon him, and though sen
tence may be delayed by legal forms
we need not fear that monster sucl
as the murderer of Perry Russell, cal
by any possibility be again let loos'
upon society.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-A shocking
accident occurred in Nelson, N. e.,
April 10. George Devaul, a highly
respected citizen of that town, was
cutting lumber with circular saw.
While thus engaged he attempted to
kick slab away from the log, but the
slab sprang back and caught his heel,
drawing him on the saw. First his
heel was sawed of, then his right leg,
then an arm, and lastly the saw enter
ed his back near the hip, cutting up
to near his heart, completely dividing
his back bone into two parts, causing
his death in less than fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Devaul was 81 years of age, and
leaves wife and two small'children,
besides numerous friends, to mourn
bis departure. The sad event created
a profound sensation there, and the
afflicted family have the heartfelt sym
patty OF that entire community.

BURNING OF A VILLAGE.-The Por-
tage Lake Mining Gazette has the full
particulars of the destruction by fire,
on the 18th instant, of the village of
Hancock, Michigan, caused by the
overturning of a stove at a dance in
a French saloon. The account says !:
THE building was in the northwest
ern quarter of the town, and the wind
being from the northwest, the flames
swept down like a bosom Of destruc-
ton upon the devoted town. In less
than halt an hour the water supply
was exhausted, and the fire spread
from house to house On both sides of
the street, and back in each direction
among the outhouses, barns, &c, in
creasing in extent and 6erceness, un-
til, at the end of an hour more, not
less than thirty-fve buildings were
simultaneously in flames. The flames
roared like an approaching tornado,
and cracked like the discharge of
struggling volleys Of small arms. The
air was hot, suffocating, and thick with
binding smoke-now settling down
like a pail over the whole town, and
now lifting by the wind, revealed
broad sheets of fame from fifty to
five hundred feet in length, and reach
inc, at times, almost the clouds. AT.
ter the first half hour all hope of say.
lug any of the buildings comprising
the business portions of the town was
abandoned, as the length of the fire
was low full one-eighth Of mile, and
the flames were licking up building al
ter building like stubble. In six
honrs noarly all that romaiucd of the
once thrifty village of Hancock was
an Immense heap of embers, covered
with sitting cloud of smoke. A
small fringe of diminutive building;
in the north and west, among which
the Catholic and Methodist churches
St. Patrick's and Masonic Halls, loon
up like monuments marking tn {
graves of their neighbors, are all tina
is left of Hancock. The ground burn
ed over is estimated at 1900 acres
on which were situated $50 buildings
, of which $50 were used as dwelling
