HEALDvILLE RIoT.-Examination in

lin, charged with impeding an officer.
The above named parties were on COM
plant of Town Grand Juror Alfred Crow
ley, arraigned before A. G. Randall at
Healdville. on Friday, November 18th.
Sewell Fullam and w. II. Walker, Esqs.,
appeared in behalf Of the State, and J. O.
Baker, j. w. Ainswortt and E. Fisher,
Esqs., appeared foI the respondents. The
evidence tended to show that @. w.
Priest, constable for the town of Mount
Holly, with warrants for the arrest of
several men in the employ Of Starkey and
Bucklip, proceeded to the woods when
the men were in their shanty or shanties,
that Mr.. Priest was threatened with yio-
lence should he make an attempt to arrest
and knowing the fate Of two men w. p.
Hoskinson, E-q, and A. Mccoy, an
authorized officer, who attempted to ar
rest several men the day previous, that he
deemed it very unwise to attempt an ar
rest and left without doing SO. This was
in effect denied by the respondents who
claimed that the seeming standing up by
them for the choppers was not to impede
the officer, but to protect the rights of the
men who were to be arrested, but the
evidence upon this point being contra
dictory led to pretty sharp comparison
Of testimony. The respondents further
claimed that an agreement was made by

THE ACCIDENT OF MONDAY We
have received communication, herewith
published, from citizen of Rutland, and
while we believe, as the writer suggests,
that there should be ''fagman" stationed
at the different railroad crossings within
the limits of the corpoations, or that some
method should be adopted, as is done in
England of having all highways pass
under or at suitable height over, the
the track of all railroads, yet from per-
sonal investigation of the facts and cir
oumstsnces in the present case, we have
no doubt that Notwithstanding all precau-
tions of this nature, the accident, referred
to. would have occurred:
son Monday I was shocked beyond ex-
preston, to hear of the death of boy,
caused by being run over by the switch
engine, at the crossing on West street. I
would like to ask how many men are to
suffer the same sad fate before some move
ment is made in the right direction
I should think it about time the "City
Fathers" took this thing into their own
hands, and If by no other means, compel
the Railroad Company to place a fagman
ct every crossing within the corporation,
and at that one especially.
l fad in the States of Massachusetts,
and New York, in towns no larger than
this, fsgmen are placed at every crossing
within the limits of the corporation. "A
word to the wise is sufficient.

the silent system" adopted in Pennsyl-
vania and strenuously advocated by the
Friends. The success of Count Sollohuo
in his efforts at reformation seems to in
dictate that his plan is to be preferred to
the silent system.
Our prisons, many of them, are badly
managed. The system of discipline pro.
duces only bad results, Criminals are
multiplying, and vice, like a disease
without an antidote, reigns on every
hand. Prisons are filed with those who
are dangerous to society, only to be
emptied of wretches grown more hard
ened and vicious by their incarceration.
Justice may be satisfied with the work
ing out of the penalty which the law in
fiicts, but the cause Of morality is very
little benefited thereby. Moral reforma-
ton, which, according to our idea, should
form an important feature of prison dis
cipline, is not secured by the present
plan; and why? The physicians have
not applied the right remedy. They
have dosed their patients with the cru
ciix, the thum-screw, the shower bath,
the buck, and other instruments of tor
ture, but such medicine has failed to
cure a moral disease. 1t has only aggra-
waited the disorder. The whipping-post
and pillory, relics of the barbarism of the
dark ages, and still disgracing the statute
books of Delaware, with all the appliances
for inficting physical injury. must give
place in the future to a more humane and
effective discipline. To this end infiuen-
tial assemblages, like that which has just
met, will contribute more than any other
means. An International Congress, the
expediency of which was considered at
the Cincinnati Convention, would have
an immense power for good, and it is to
be hoped it will be held.
Christianity is profoundly interested in
the reformation of criminals. Religion lie
the best cure for moral obliquity, and the
most certain to secure permanent results
Let, therefore such changes be made III
our prison discipline as shall best conduce
TO the advancement of the moral and re-
ligious interests of society at large.

THE Missouri ELECTIoN.--The Lib
erals" under the lead of Gratz Brown
and Carl Schurz, have swept all before
them in Missouri. Brown is elected Gov
ernor by more than 10000 majority over
the present Radical Governor, McClurg.
This State having, ever since the COM
menoement of the rebellion, been loyal,
Republican State, the present result as
tonishes many of the politicians. The at
tempt of the President to control local
feud by siding with one of the parties tc
it against the other, by the use of the pub
lie patronage, had the appearance of die
tation, and exasperated one party without
in fact, helping the other.
The President, it must be confessed, ha;
not been fortunate in his interference
with State politics. The people are, every
where, jealous of suoh interference. They
do not find it easy to believe that they are
not as we'll posted in their own affairs q:
are the politicians at Washington. They
like to do as they please, and vote as they
please, without being dictated to from
any quarter.

SENIOR EXHIBITION AT MIDDLEBURY
The Senior class of Middlebury College
gave an exhibition Monday evening in
the Academy Hall. The orations were
of high order of excellence and reflected
great credit upon the young gentlemen.
We noticed particularly the careful
study that was displayed in the compost
ton and the excellence in elocution that
comes only from practice and thorough
instruction. The Poem by Mr.. Peck was
finely written and met with merited ap-
plause. The debate was ably carried out
The arguments were exhaustive and long,
evinced much care and preparation. The
question was one in which all were inter
ested, and was listened to with attention.
The coloquy was founded on popular
subject and was finely written and car
ried ont. Mr.. G. E. Clark was the author
and is deserving Of great deal of praise
The music was furnished by the Glee
Club, assisted by the ladies of the village,
and added much to the evenings enter
tainment.
Taken all in all the exhibition was 9
fine performance. The new hall is de-
cided improvement on the old College
Chapel, where the debates were formerly
held. The audience was large and appre'
ciative.

Arrival and Departure OF Trains.
The Franco-Prussian War.

IL will be remembered that the French
Army Of the Loire" some days ago, sue
ceeded in expelling the Prussian army
from Orleans, and not only driving them
to q considerable distance from that
point, but also in severely furnishing"
Gen. Won der Taun. This was the first
French success of any note gained since
the war, and many who sympathize with
the cause of the Republic fancied a change
for the better had come to Franee-that
the tide of victory had turned. Our latest
advices show that the Prussisns have sue
oeeded in concentrating an immense force,
and the Army of the Loire is supposed to
be retreating behind Orleans. 1t is over
a week since Orleans was taken from the
Prussians The successes then gained
have not been followed up, owing either to
bad generalship,o r the weakness of the COM
mand. So all hope of relieving Paris from
the South must be abandoned for the
present. 1t is evidently the intention of
the Prussiaus to crush the new French
army with overwhelming forces. We
fear they will be only too able to accom-
plish this purpose. For the moment oper-
atoms in the north of France have been
suspended, and the cities which were
threatened with a siege a few days ago
have been suspended, and the cities
which were threatened with siege few
days ago have been abandoned, the forces
of the Prussians being all needed in the
South of France. 1t seems to us, if there
is any spirit left among the people of the
Northern provinces, they will at once
concentrate, form new army, and march
to the relief of Paris. This now seems to
be the only hope of France.

which the men were to be delivered Mon
day morning for trial, and by this arrange
ment it was attempted to show that no
resistance whatever was offered.
The case, as is usual, developed the
usual amount of legal "red tape" during
which time the room depot was filed to
its utmost capacity.
The testimony being ended, arguments
were made by counsel, in which the char
acters of some men were rather roughly
