BuRGLARIEs AT VERGENNEs.- On
Monday night the store Of j. S. Hickok,
in VergeDnes was entered by burglars,
the safe blown open and about 5000 in
money distracted, together with some Il
or Is wa ches. The samenight the store
of Parker, Booth & Co, in the same
place, was entered, their safe opened and
$500 in money taken therefrom, with
some silks from the shelves. The bur-
glaries were discovered, by the impru-
dence of the burglars early after their
depredations, and the burglars traced to
the depot. Deputy Sheriff George Skif,
of Monkton was on the sleeping train
out of this point, and on reaching Yer
gennes, discovering that burglars had
been at work. Instead of getting off
and going to his home be retook the
train, where he found couple of stran-
gers, who had got on board at Vergennes
one of whom got away but the other OF
whom was found to have the watches
stolen from Hickok's store in his posses
sion, and a considerable sum of money
though he had previously declared that
for want of stamps" he had rode on TOP
of the cars from Rutland to Vergennes
This statement did not Ego down. and
Sheriff Skiff took him into custody, after
which it was discovered two accomplices
we're on the train with him, but who, or
earning the difficulty into which their
"pall" had got, like the Arabs,
Folded their tents and silently stole awav."

a WORD FOR LOCAL NEWSPAPERS
We clip the following from the New

where he resides:
Notbin.is more common than to hear
people talk of what they pay newspapers
for advertising, &C., as so much given in
charity. Newspapers. by enhancing the
value of property in their neighborhoods
nd giving the localities in which they
ae published a reputation abroad bene-
fall such parties, if they are merchants
orreal estate ownors, thrice the amount
annually of the meagre sum they pay for
their support. Besides every public
spirited citizen has laudable pride in
having paper of which he is not
ashained, even though he should pick il
up in New York or Washington.
A good looking sheet helps property
gives character to locality, and in many
respects it is desirable public conven

and pronounce it good for nothing, unit

ROBBERY AT MIDDLEBuRY.-The Rut-
land Herald saws that at about three
o'clock Tuesday morning light was dis
covered by Mr.. Edwin Vallette in his
store. Mr.. Vallette thinking all was
not right got his gun, which was well
loaded with buck-shot, and having arous-
ed several of his neighbors, proceeded to
the store to await further developments.
Soon the burglar made his appearance
having bag Of plumber on his back,
coming from the rear Of the store,
athrogh narrow alley on the south side.
fOutside Of the building Mr.. Vallette
was standing about three rods from the
end of this alley, and seeing the person
ordered him to halt, at first supposing
him to 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.. Val
] lette's request, and Mr.. Vallette fred
On going to the spot the bag was found,
but no man. Pursuit was given but the
thief completely eluded capture, owing
to the darkness which prevailed. As
soon as light, several of our citizens dis
covered blood upon the snow, and follow
ing 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
a 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, he turn
ing The water from the pitcher with his
left hand, having his right hand in his
pocket. This appearing suspicious nc
was ordered to take off his coat, to which
he demurred, but finally consented, wher
it was discovered that Mr.. Nallette's ain
had been good, two buck-shot having
passed nearly through the forearm, lodg
ing just under the skin. He immediate
ly admitted his guilt and subsequently
confessed that he entered the same nigh

One of the merchant princes of Bos-
ton has refused to pay his wife's bill
with her dressmaker, which amounted to
81 300 in three months, on the ground
that it was extrAvagant and extortionate,
notwithstanding one of his solid neighbors
had paid the same dressmaker $1,000 for
his wife during that self-same three
months. The merchant prince, " how
ever, refuses to be Victimized by the
cupidity of one woman and the folly of
another, and suit at law is The conse-
quence. Certainly $l57 for "work on
trimmings of silk dress which cost
| $45, was enough to make even "solid
man. at ''the hub" open his eyes, but it
is worse than this in Paris, where the
Countess of Rapp (widow of Mr.. A Hope,
the millionaire), objectst to paying her mil
liners bill, amounting to 261, 900 francs,
equal TO $50, 200 in gold. She had paid
| 161, 600 francs (s92, 20O) on account, and
q lawsuit has been begun to recover the
balance of the account. The Countess,
opposing law to law, appealed to the
court to have the bill taxed, as she con-
siders the charges out of all reason. For
example, 900 francs were charged for
making one dress, the material of which
cost GO. This beats the Boston naodiSte.

On tlle fourth of July last the French

Of his employees from 1853 to 1869. Only

CARRYING out his promise, the Empe-
ror Napoleon has just proposed two i'm
por4nt reforms, which the Corps Legis-
ladf will probably not hesitate to sane
ton. The first is that from the close Of
of 1870 the stamp duty upon al public
journals published in Franco shall be
wholly abolished. The other proposition
is that the annual sum to be paid to all
Senators nominated after the present time
shall be $1,000 francs. At present q
Senator's salary is 10000 francs CSC,
Der annum for life. 1t is anticipated thai
a majority of the present Senators vii
show their disinteroscd patriotism by vol
unteering to accept the new reduced al
lowance. If all of them (thoir number il
limited to 800 were to do this, the savin!
to the French treasury would amount e
2,25O,O0O francs, or $3.50, 900 year.

The Boston Post says when United
States Senators, in session, SO far lose
sclf-respcct as to denouucc each other as
liars, it is evidence of that lack of dscency
which is recognized as lack of sense.
The low manner of this body is an indica-
ton of its low moral tone, and hence the
necessity of devoting so much time to the
exposition of the corruption of its mem
bers. The Flanigsus aud Hamilton,
Yateses and brakes, Chambers, and their
fellows in the upper branch of Congress
are only crude Summers, Mortons, How
ards, Hamlins, Shermsns. They ere all

4 CITIZEN of Liberia addressed the Phil
adelphia Board of Trade, few days ago,
and in the course of his remarks he in
formed his audience that, on hearing the
news of the passage of the fifteenth
amendment in this country, the Liberian
legislators had at once resolved to expunge
On article in the constitution Of their re-
public. which allowed the right of suf-
fragc only to citizens of African descent.
"And now added the speaker, in a
grand peroration, Gin Liberia white
man is just as good as negro J" This
announcement viii be, we presume, very
gratifying to that numerous class OF Rad
icals who have been bowling, first for thu
political and then for the social equality
of the races. They should go to Liberia,
and "stand not on the order of their 60
ing, but 60 at once"
