On Monday of last week, Mr.. John

A HEARTLEss OvERsEER.-The Mont
pelier Argus and Patriot has the follow
ing account of heartless overseer of
Cabot, who has economy on the brain"
"a family by the name of Collins became
town charges at South Danville. Their
settlement was in Cabot, and Mr.. Laird
deemed it best to move them over there,
few household goods and a COW being
their sole possessions. The time chosen
for their removal happened to be cold
and very stormy, Notwithstanding which
Laird ordered two small boys of Collins
to drive the COW over to Cabot. The IA
Their demonstrated, saying the lads were
too young, that they had had nothing to
cat, that they were too thinly clad, and
that they had no boots fit for such a
Journey. To all this, it is alleged, Mr..
Laird was deaf. and the little fellows
aged 8 and 10 years--started off, hun
CRY and insufficiently protected by cloth
ing against the storm that was raging,
the overseer and the balance of the FAM
lily preceding them. When these last
reached Cabot, and the facts were ascer'
tanned about the boys, there was a hur'
rying to and fro of humane people, and
team at once went to search for them
it being expected they would be foune
on Cabot heights frozen to death. Aftel
a time the rescuing party came to wher'
they were. The old COW had given out
and laid down in the road, APPARENT,
utterly exhausted, the boys standing b.
her, suffering with cold, but not know
ing what to do They were at once car
ried to Cabot, when the feet Of one 0
them were found to be frozen. and tn
other one badly off. Their boots, which
were old ones Of their fathers were $
filed with snow that it was impossible t
get them off. The case excited mucl
indignation among the Cabot people.
