On motion, the committee of arrange

Der, If it were deemed necessary.
On motion of Col. w. G. Veazey, the
entire arrangements for centennial cele.
bration were left with the committee.
Ben K. Chase said he thought it would
be better to have from time to time pub.
lie meetings of the citizens in order that
an interest might be excited and kept up
in the matter by speech making and story
telling.
II. r. Dyer thought that if the commit
tee of arrangements take hold of the mat,
ter in earnest, it will be the greatest and
most interesting event in the history of
Rutland; because it is not for any politi-
cal party, clique or sect, but for the whole
people. The committee must be live men,
and if upon getting together they find
any laggards among them, they must
turn them out and put live men in their
places. Let the committee and citizens
take hold in earnest, and it will be 6

told them they "were going to have a
devil of time"
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

NAVAL CADET.-The naval cadetship
which about yvar pinoo oHusod su0h q
commotion in Rutland, and which has
been such an elephant on the hands of
certain gentlemen who had it placed at
their disposal, is at last settled. For a
time it was feared that the appointment
Void e. 10 Addition, county, and much
sympathy was expressed for those who
had labored SO arduously to retain it in
this county. But after much trial and a
severe fight, Rutland county has received
this the first appointment; and it is a
source of regret that it should not have
fallen to Rutland. The people, however,
will be content that through a great
struggle it has fallen within the limits OF
the county. Mr.. William B. Butler. of
Pittsford, has been recommended for the
appointment to the vacant cadetship at
the Naval Academy at Annapolis.

A COld-biOoded Murder in OhiO--A
Man FATALLY Shot in Pres
enCC of his Wife.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon,
July 4th, near the steamboat landing at
Parlor Grove, Ohio, occurred one of the
most cold-blooded murders that has ever
became our duty to chronicle. 1t seems
that Mr.. Timothy Daily, an employee of
the gas works, who resided on Mill street,
near Columbia, Cincinnati, had spent the
day at the picnic of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, at the grove, about mile dis
tant on the hill, and was returning with
his wife and children, when some mis-
creant fred revolver from behind, in
ficting a wound which felled him to the
ground and proved fatal an hour after.
Mrs. Daily stated that she and her hus-
band had almost reached the landing,
when she heard a shot and the next mo.
ment saw her husband tumbling headlong
in the dust. She looked back Immediate
ly after and saw three men approach
ing, but so great was her grief and
excitement at that time that she would
not now be able to recognize them. The
unfortunate man was conveyed to the
steamer Sam. j. Hale, where he expired be-
fore her arrival at the city. The fatal
ball entered between the shoulders and
passed through the chest and lodged
against the collar bone. A short time after
this John Taylor, Waterman of the
steamer Hale, was arrested on suspicion,
brought to the city and confined in the
Hammond street station house until this
morning, when he was taken before the
Police Court and held for further inform
atien. Those who know Mr.. Taylor re-
fuse to believe that he could be guilty OF
such eowardly deed, and Mr.. Taylor
and his friends on the boat claim that
they can prove that he was asleep
on the boat at the time the murder oc-
CURED. He is man of steady habits and
good character, and it is generally be-
lIeved that his arrest was great mistake.
There were rumors on the streats, this
morning, that the known perpetrators Of
the deed had been arrested, bit the police
authorities claim to know nothing about
it, and the rnmoEs are doubtless grounI,.

THE SCHOOL MASTER ABRoAD.-In
passing down Black River from the
North to Springfield village, one may see
board nailed to tree in front of house
with the words This farm for SALE
written on the board. On the opposite
side of the highway there's board fence,
on which in various places may be read
"Look out for Dogg" "Look out fosa Dogg
is Suller" "Look out for Dogs" The
English of this is said to be, thai the farm
for sale is the property of fsmily named
Dodge, and that hostile neighbor takes
this method to iniura the sale of the
place.
-FrequeGs rains, and fine weather
generally afford encouragement of an

corn looks better than for many years
past, the hay crop is being secured, and
will be fair, English grain is good.
