ANOTHER ROBBERY AT MIDDLEBURY,
yT.-About three o'clock Tuesday morn
ing light was discovered by Mr.. Edwin
Vallette in his store. Mr.. Vallette think
ing all was not right got his gun, which
was we'll loaded with buck-shot, and hav-
ing aroused several of his neighbors, pro-
ceeded to the store to await further deve-
lopments. Soon the burglar made his
appearance having bag of plumber on
his back, coming from the rear of the
store, through narrow alley on the south
side. Outside of the building Mr.. Val
lette was standing about three rods from
the end of this alley, and seeing the per-
son ordered him to halt, at first supposing
him tie be some of the friends who were
assisting him. The man, however, in
stead of hating started in the opposite
direction, paying no heed to Mr.. Vallette's
request, and Mr.. Vallette fred. On going
to the spot the bag was found, but no man.
Pursuit was given but the thief COM
pletely eluded capture, owing the dark
ness which prevailed As soon as light
several of our citizens discovered blood
upon the snow, and following the trail
traced him to farm house situated about
two miles south of the village. When the
pursuers reached the house the hired man
of the occupant appeared and aided in the
search. For time it was unavailing,
when the hired man went into the house
Shortly after one of the officers went into
the house and asked for glass of water,
which was given him by the hired man,
he turning the water from the pitcher
with his left hand, having his right hand
in his pocket. This appearing suspicious
he was ordered to take off his coat, to
which he demurred, but finally consented,
when it was discovered that Mr.. Vallette's
aim had been good, two buck-shot having
passed nearly through the forearm, lodg-
ing just under the skin. He Immediately
fessed that he entered the same night the
grocery of Harvey 81 Hubbard. He was
lodged in jail He is native of Middle
bury, 10 years of age, named Hyer, says
that he was alone and that this is his
first offence.

rendered amenable to law. He said that
he had no intention of creating trouble,
he wished to do away with unlawful ex-

in bitter terms to the murder of Victor
Noir. He said Noir was one of the peo-
pie, and the people should judge his MUIR
derer who, though cousin to the Emperor,
must not be allowed to escape. Molluriea
in reply promised that they should have
Justice In the course of his speech he
used these words: "We are Justice, law
and moderation; if you force us there
will be power.
A communication from t 9 Procurer
Imperial was lad before the Chamber de-
handing the arraignment of Deputy
Heury Rochefort, for outrage against the
Emperor, and for exciting disorder and
violence. The demand was referred to a
committee.
1t is reported that M. Oliver, with the
approval of the Emperor, has issued
orders permitting the free return to
France of Ledru, Rollin, and other per-
sons in the same position.

DR.. Salisbury was refused permission to

BtTIvrER.-At the New Hampshire
farmers meeting the other day, Gov. Sim
on Brown of Massachusetts,, stated that
he went through the markets of Boston
not long since and asked every dealer
that he could find what proportion of the
butter brought into the market was strict
ly prime, and he was struck with the
wonderful unanimity of the response ''not
one pound in ten," or-"not one tub in
ten" He stated a fact not unknown to
others, however, that very much of the
butter is "doctored," and made more sala-
BILE after coming into to market.
There is not. however, any process
known by which a greasy, poor quality of
butter can be made to assume a wavy,
fair consistency, or by which a nutty, fine
flavor can be given to butter made from
poor feed or by unoleanly processes. One
circumstance in relation to the best but
ter is not generally understood-it is that
very little of it finds its way into the open
market, and the price at which it is sold
is never quoted.
Many of the producers of strictly
prime butter have regular customers who
take it at prices much above the market,
and if, by chance, dealer gets hold of
any of it he has customers always wait
ing for it, and he is moreover very care
full that the producer and consumer do
not become known to each other Most
producers do not appreciate the advantages
that would result to them from the pro-
duotion of better article and the exer-
else of little more skill in selling it.

upon from the committee on reconstruc-
ton, reported the bill TO admit the State

gress of the United States.
Mr.. Farnsworth after the bill had been

"the action of Virginia irrevocable."

LECTURES AT LEICEsTER.-The peo-
pie of Leicester were highly entertained
on the evening of the 9Th inst. Henry
Clark, Esq, of Rutland, favored US with
a lecture. Subject: "Records of the War"
To say that it was a thing of rare excel
lence in the absence of further remarks,
would be doing it but feeble justice. AT
first thought it might seem that another
subject might prove more interesting
Had the subject been treated by one less
familiar with the theme than is Mr.. Clark,
such might have been the result. In the
present case it was marked success, car
rying the AUDIENCE, as it did, step by step
through a record that caused the eye to
moisten and the heart to throb with emo
ton. The duty of the living in perpetu-
ating the memory of our fallen soldiers,
"Who died that the nation might live
was beautifully exemplifed by the
speaker. Such lectures are needed every
year to quicken the memory of those who
live in the enjoyment of a peace pur-
chased with the blood of our departed
heroes and Mr.. Clark seems especially
fitted for d work SO commendable-ad duty
so imperative. After taking the audience
through the record of the war, so replete
with memorable events shared by the sons
of Vermont, the lecturer closed with a
most beautiful tribute to the memory OF
the great War Minister, Edwin NJ. Stan
ton. The sturdy traits of character, the
marvellous executive power and untiring
energy which SO distinguished the lament
ed Secretary were depicted in glazing
fervid language. Mr.. Clark performed
well his duty. He helped embalm anew
in our hearts the memory of Lincoln,
Stanton and the soldiers of he republic.
