The Execution of Real.


John Real, the murderer of officer
Smedick, was executed in New York city,
Friday. He was attended by the priests,
and was earnestly engaged in prayer up
to the last moment-The affair was wit
messed by a very few persons.
Every effort that has been made to save
him by his friends and counsel has proved
futile, and even the request for a few
more days of life was firmly denied. Dun.
;-e the last week Real has felt that thors
was no hopo Co. him, and had given bis
whole attention to the exnorLaIlons of his
two eonfessors, Fathers Duranquet and
Kearney. who have been constant in theil
ministrations.
HIS LAST DAY AND NIGHT.
Thursday afternoon, Real was visited
by Judge Bixby, Sheriff o Brien, Warden
John Stacom, and other officers and
friends. He conversed freely with them,
and professed himself as fully prepared
for death, although he comprehended
the degradation, and repeatedly regretted
that he was to die as felon. He warm
ly thanked all those who had taken an in
terest in his fate, and declared himself
enced at the hands of the officials. He
told Sheriff O'Brien that he hoped that ht
would not shrink from doing his duty, al
he knew that he was forced by law to
take leading part in his execution, and,
added he, 81 will try to do my duty and
die like a man"
At two o'clock p. m, he asked for a
bath, and was accordingly escorted by the
Wardens through the yard. Then, for
the first time, he saw the preparations for
his own execution, and without betray-
ing any agitation walked beneath the
beam and gazed upon the screen, which
had been erected to conceal the scaffold
from the buildings adjoining the prison
He remained in the bath room with the
Warden about half an hour, and then, af-
ter shaking hands with his friends. and
thanking them for their call, re-
tired to his cell. A great trial there
awaited him. His father and sisters called
to bid him farewell. Had it not been fol
the Sisters of Mercy, who have scarcel,
left his side, Real would have broker
down. He could not refrain from allud
ing in bitter terms to his approaching
paeied. It six o'cIocRs the SS1 fath eet ans
sisters left him for the last time. The
parting was very painful one. When
it was over, the condemned man sent foI
Father Duranquet, and sat praying and
reading with him until about eleven
o'clock p. M, when he retired to rest.

GRAFToN.-For many weeks, we, with
other parts of the country, had suffered
from drouth but Thursday, Aug. 4, the
gathering clouds poured out their long
reserved contents. The rain fell in tor
rents, filling empty cisterns and watering
our parched fields. So copious was the
rain that ere noon the potato hills were
saturated. The stream which did so
much damage last October was raised
about foot and half.
-Blackberries are abundant at ten,
eight or six cents per quart, at the door,
or free on the bushes. Never in our
memory were they 80 plenty.
"A blind man happened along here
the other day, tuning pianos, who played
checkers with great zeat and skill. OF
course he had his own board, with sunk
found and Ea4 sd hss Which Ri d,a were hall
by feeling.
Hon. T. Phelps recently sent live
woodchuck to the editor of the FREEMAN
ring in the last session of the legislature,
over bill presented by the redoubtable
member from Hancock. The gentleman
from Hancock wanted the State to pay
bounty of ten cents for each woodchuck
killed, which Phelps opposed; but the
editor of the Freeman could not decide
which way to go on the question, as he
had never seen a chuck" Hence the
presentation.
"A select school will open in this place
Sept. 5, under the charge of Mr.. Dustin, a
college graduate and, as learn, success
full teacher. We have as fine a school
building as any town of the same size in
theIState. 1t is new, thoroughly built,
eligibly located, has ample grounds, with
modern furniture, clocks, globes, maps,
etc. Under the direction of E. S. Sabin,
Jr., the summer schools were of a high
order and eminently successful, and he
proposes the same success in the future.

THE RUTLAND HERALD,
TUESDAY, AUGUST o, 1870.
ReIgium,s Relations to the French
and Prussian War.

We are daily asked the relation OF BEL
Vium to the war now in progress, and the
designs of Napoleon in reference thereto'
We give our understanding of the matter :
The kingdom of Belgium, which Napo'
Icon covets and England protects, partly
to spite him and partly because 1t Is tor
her own interests to do so, contains little
more than 1900 square miles, upon each
one of which dwells an average of 433 per-
SONS, making it the most densely populat-
cd country in Europe. It's army num-
bers about $4,000 men, and half dozen
vessels comprise its navy. The prevailing
religion is Roman Catholic, and the
French language is generally spoken. AT
ter long subsection to Spain and Aus
tria, and forced submission to France
under the first Napoleon, Belgium was
united to Holland in 1916. The connec-
tian was very unpleasant, however, and in
1880 the Belgians revolted. Three years
later, their independence was guaranteed,
and king furnished them in the person
of Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, the bereaved
husband of the Princess Charlotte of Eng
land. He was a sagacious monarch, and
though Protestant, was popular among
his Catholic subjects. He married a
daughter of Louis PHILIPPE of France, and
died about five years ago, leaving his eld-
est son King in his stead. His daughter
is tho unhappy widow of Macmillan, of
Austria, Napoleon's puppet in the inya-
sion of Mexico. The late King Leopold
was the favorite uncle of Queen Victoria,
and hence family sympathies combine
with political necessities in making Great
Britain exceedingly solicitous for the
welfare of Belgium.

MiddIebury.

Edward Noel was last Saturday, on
complaint of David Piper! Grand Juror,
charged with assault and battery upon
the person of Mrs. E. Flowers, arrsigned
before James NJ. Slade, Justice of the
Pace, and being found guilty, was fined
inthe sum of 81 and costs, amounting in
al to 1887. Not paying the same he
was committed to Jail.
"A little boy named Martin Mulligan,
was accosted in our park last Friday by
a man with the request that he would
climb tree and obtain some young robins
for him. The boy accordingly made the
attempt, and doing so, fell about IA feet
tothe ground, and broke his left arm near
thu wrist. The limb breaking occasioned
his fall. He was taken to the store OF
Mr.. Bascom and the arm set by Doctor
VIM. P. Russell. The little fellow is get
ting along quite as well as could be ex-
pected. .. .. .-
A new and fine looking dwelling has
made its appearance just north of the
Pine Grove on Chapman Hill, erected by
Mr.. Robinson No house in our town oc-
cupies so slightly position as this. The
view from the piazza is very fine, taking
in miles of country north, west and south.
We hope others may initiate his exam
pie in this respect, that our noble hill may
be covered with dwellings. Gentlemen
of means and leisure can then find a way
to spend their money and secure any
amount of income by way of romantic
scenery etc.
An aged lady, Miss Nancy Smith,
while walking last Saturday night, near
the store of Langworthy & Co., fell as is
in fainting fit to the ground.
She was restored to consciousness and
removed to her house, where she soon
died. She was very worthy woman and
had long lived in our village.
The Census disclose the fact, that our
town has not decreased in population the
past decade, but somewhat increased. Ie
what amount this deponent saith not
Time will soon give the exact amount
Our Grand List for 1S70is some hundreds
Of dollars greater than 1869. This is all
encouraging.

A Trip to WestpOrt.
WHITEHALL, N. Y, Aug. 6

WHITEHALL, N. T., Aug.6.
Editor Rutland Herald 1t is not
often you hear from this part of the
world, and short letter now may not be
amiss In these dog days when the Their
mometer ranges from 90 to 100 degrees,
and nature calls for rest, it is but
natural that every person should inquire
of his neighbor where they shall go and
what they shall do to escape the heat and
flies, and recruit their exhausted ener-
gies. My answer is to camp out To il
lustrate--last Tuesday party of nine
might have been seen encamped on Bar
bers Point, two and one half miles South
of Westport, New York, on Lake Cham
plain. Part of the company were from
your own pleasant town, and reached
here via Vergennes on the steamer
Curlew, very pleasant route, and part
came from Whitehall, on steamer Adj
rondack. We were fortunate in having
kind friends, with willing hearts and
hands at Westport, who previous to our
arrival had made all arrangements to
camp out. I did not realize the full
meaning of the words then as do now,
but was partly prepared by the previous
recommendations of friends to enjoy its
many pleasures. We were supplied
with three tents to be used respectively
as sleeping apartments and dining room,
with all necessary acoutrements. We
were encamped two days and nights,
and with the boating, fishing, sailing,
rambling, singing and eating-time, and
space will forbid my enumerating the
different attractions of camp life, try it if
you are in search of solid comfort, for as
each succeeding year shall roll around l
hope to sing from experience eve are
tenting tonight on the old camp ground"
and if we are not waiting for the dawn
of peace, we are waiting for the dawn of
another festal day at BARRIERS Point with
its many sports and pleasures, that are
only found in connection with camp life.
L would advise all intending to partici-
pate in this kind of life, to have their
silks and broadclothes at home, and take
only such as can stand rough treatment,
perhaps I have overdrawn the picture
this being my first experience, but hope
not my last. We broke up camp on
Thursday p. m, ,and August I'd, 3D. and
4th, 1870, will be remembered by us as
days of untold civilizations. TRIB.

-''-''Ae,' R,itld7ld Herald As / like X
read your reports from dI1ferenU IOWA a.
the State, thought I might add line
from this section. 1t has been very hot
and dry here this summer, every one
complaining of the intense heat and lack
of rain.
| The farmers have harvested their hay
and grain in this section and the crop is
light. Hay one fonrth a usual crop.
Oats and wheat very light some fields
being nothing but straw, the grasshop-
pers having stripped the grain all off.
Corn is suffering badly for want of rain.
The prospect for potatoes is very slim.
The prospects for farming are slim, those
not having old hay will be obliged to sell
their stock in part.
The summer term of school in Dis
trict No 8 closed last week, and was
taught by Miss Aurora A. Ives of
Mechanicsville, Vermont. Whole num-
Der of scholars ten, average attendance
1888. Master Ellie II. Moon, lad of
six years, was the only one having no
absent, tardy or whispering marks, and
had 212 perfect lessons. Master Eddie
Hunt was absent four times, tardy
thirteen times, whispered none, and 254
perfect lessons. The school though email
made good progress, being taught by a
teacher of large experience.
The school on the turnpike will close
in two weeks, and is taught by Miss Mary
E. Grinnell an experienced teacher from
Benson. We understand Miss Grinnell
proposes to give her school picnic at
Csrver's Falls, in the vicinity of the
school, ON Thursday of this week.
Miss Matte Fish, only daughter of
Nathaniel Fish Esq, of this place, met
with quite an accident on Wednesday of
last week As she with a number of
young persons were starting on pleasure
excursion to Lake George, one of the
party fred salute which was returned
by Mr.. J. M. Field, Postmaster at West
Haven. The ball struck Miss Fish upon
the back part of the head, causing quite
wound. The wound was dressed by
Dr. Burton of Benson, and the party pro-
ceeded on their trip. The young lady
has the ball in her possession fattened ont
of all shape, showing it must have struck
with considerable force.
We had the pleasure of listening to
sermon short time since from the Rev.
Mr.. Cunningham of Rutland, who is sup
plying the Baptist church in this place
from the text, ''To-day thou shalt be with
me in paradise" The sermon was in
structive and impressive, and was listened
to with attention by the congregation,
which we regret to say was smaller than
it should have been. At the close of the
sermon the Sabbath School held an in
structive concert. Yours in haste,
"SMUGGINs."

school Picnic at Leicester.

Editor Rutland Herald On Thursday
the 4th inst, the schools of the several
districts in town, under the direction of
our School Superintendent, VIM. S. Alden,
held picnic in the grove of Mr.. Erwin
Barker.
A goodly number were present not
withstanding the day came in cloudy and
rainy, which for time seemed to spread
"wet blanket" over the hopes of The
children. The afternoon proved favor
able.
The exercises consisted of singing, reoi-
tations and general exercises by the
several schools. The children acquitted
themselves finely, showing careful train
ing and thorougness on the part of their
teachers.
The hour for dinner having arrived the
exercises were suspended, that all might
enjoy the rich repast spread before them
by the ladies of Leicester. Those who
know them need no assurance that the
tables looked very inviting. -
Refreshments over, the exercises were
resumed at the stand. After the close OF
the school exercises, the people were enter
tanned by short speeches from A Il STAN
lev. Col. John Capen of Brandon, Col.
Knapp, editor of the Register, and Ira W.
CLARK, Esq, of Middlebury, followed by
poem for the children fro - Mrs. A E.
Stanley. The Whiting Band fur nished
excellent music for the occasion.
Too much cannot be said IN favor of
these grove meetings-the meeting of the
old and young on such festive occasions.
Every town should have grove Fl ted up
for such gatherings, aud as
often as twice a year the people would
find it profitable to meet at such places to
renew old friendships, to bury the
Ratchet" and to form new hopes and Pur-
poses for the future. l.
