We noticed an article in Tuesday 8
HERALD. from Middlebury, desiring in
formation of the whereabouts of an insane
man, who left his home in Starksboro
some ten days ago. An insane man, an
swering to the description given in the
article referred to, and is doubtless the
same one, has been in this vicinity some
two weeks, and is still in town. The man,
to all appearance, has lost his reason, and
nearly his speech. All that be has been
known TO say distinctly is "Git out there
now," which he repeats very frequently.
He keeps wandering continually, day and
night, and is sometimes very troublesome,
as he visits houses nights, and entering
when the doors are not fastened, and
sometimes in at the window. There is
hardly house in town but what he has
visited, going into every room. unless
stopped, and generally after getting some
thing to eat, will leave. He usually goes
into the pantry first. He appears to be
very harmless, never having offered to in
iure person or property. In some cases
he has entered houses, in the manner
above described, without the family know
ing of there being such person around.
creating considerable of scare, and in
some cases the man has been unceremoni-
ously elected from the house. AT one
time he was taken to the poor house, but
would not stay, and it has been feared
that he would freeze during the cold
night we have had. In nearly every case
at nights people have got up and built q
FIRE to warm him and given him something |
to eat. It has been hoped that something |
Of his history might be learned, SO that
his friends could be informed Of his where
abouts, and we learn that to-day tele-
gram was sent to Mr.. Purrington Of Lin
colin, who from the name, we should
Judge, was relative of the insane man.
Much sympathy is expressed for the man,
who is old and somewhat feeble, and it is |
hoped he will berestored to his friends
soon. se8 j. G. W.

VERDICT.

We, the jury in the case of the Com.
monwealth of Kentucky as. John Wheeler
et al, have carefully considered
the points of the case and test.
ted the merits of the several the.
ories advanced, and do hereby unanimous.
ly decide that the game commonly known
as old sledge or seven mp is eminently a
game of science, and not of chance. In
demonstration whereof it is herein and
hereby stated, iterated, reiterated, set
forth and made manifest, that, during the
entire night the "chance" men never won
game or turned a j,ck, although both
feats were common and frequent to the
opposition and furthermore, in support
OF this our verdict, we call attention to
the significant fact that the 'cbance" men
are all busted, and the "science" men have
got the money. It is the deliberate opin.
ion of the jury that the "ehapce" theory
concerning seven-up is a pernicious doc
trine, and calculated to inflict untold suf-
fering and pecuniary loss upon any COM
munity that takes stock in it.
That is the way that seven-up came to
be set apart and particularized in the
statute books of Kentucky as being
game, not of chance, but of science, and
therefore not punishable under the laws,
(said Mr.. Knott). That verdict is of rec.
ord, and holds good to this day.

ished. 1t was probably the intention
to burglarize the drug store, and
the breaking of the glass--which must
have been accldental--was a fortunate oc-
currence, as otherwise they might have
entered without being heard; and there
happened to be $3.50 in the money drawer.
On the same night the residence of Rev.
]. R, Powell was broken into by two men,
who were driven off, however, without any
reward for their trouble. I
A couple of fellows were also frightened
away from the residence of VIM. McEl-

entrance, on the same night.

HINTS FROM A POSTMASTER The follow.
ing hints clipped from an exchange, are
published at the request of our P. M:
When you call at the postoffice for your
mail, and the postmaster hands it out. ask
him if that is all.
If you ask for mail and he tells you
there IS none, tell him there ought to be,
and go home and sand the rest of the fam.
lily around to ask at different times thrO'
the day.
Don't bring your mail to the Office until
the mail closes; then curse the postmaster
for not unloc king the mail bag and putting
your letter in.
When you want a stamp put on your
letter, tell the postmaster to put it on; if
he don't lick it, you lick him. In case
you put the stamp on yourself, soak il in
your mouth long enough to remove all
the mucilage; it will then stick until is
dry,
Be sure to ask the postmaster to credit
you for stamps, and if he has any ac,
commodation about him he will do it.
Ifyou have box, stand and drum on it
until the postmaster hands out your mail
1t makes him feel good, especially if he is
waiting on some one else.
