Trial OF Barton, the Waterbury
Bank RObbcr.

We gather from an exchange the fol-
lowing interesting account of the trial of
one of the gang of the Waterbury bank
robbers at Montpelier last week.
The trial of Charles Barton, was com
menced in the county court on Wednes-
day of last week, and closed on Saturday.
resulting il a verdict of guilty, on Mon
day he Yves sentenced to state prison for
term eff ten years. 1t has turned out
that Barton is an old offender, having es-
capped from prison in England III Septem-
Der of last year, where be was also under
sentence for bank robbery; that his real
name is William NEWMAN. His "des-
criptiye LIST, now in the possession Of the
states attorney at Washington, so clearly
! identified the man as to remove all doubt
that he is the escaped cOnTict-Nm
NEWMAN. HE says he had been but a
short time in this country, when he be-
came acquainted with the band of bur
glars which was so completely broken up
by the arrest of himself aud Davis, and
the subsequent arrest Of the gang, known
as the Grafton bank robbers, who were a.
80 connected with the bank rcbheries in
this State. Barton has been confined IL
the State Prison at Windsor for safe keep
ing since the March term of our county
court. and while there he has persistently
refused all exercise, thereby becoming so
nearly psralyzsd as to be able to walk
only with great difficulty; he also drank
largely of very strong green tes, which
seriously affected his nervous system; be
was thereby unable to sit up much while
in court, but lay upon a lounge, with his
wife and little boy with him and part
OF the time also physician to attend up
on hin. 1t is thought by some that his
present debilitated condition has been
brought about for tbs purpose OF exciting
the sympathy of tho jury E; however this
may be, those physicians who have ex-
amined him say that there is no seated
disease about him, and one physician says
that had he been cleared on trial. could
in six weeks have put him in condition to
crack another bank. Before sentence was
pronounced in his case, on Monday, Bar
ton made some statements in regard to
his breaking all last M.rch, L. L, Durant
Esq, bis counsel. speaking for him he
said that he caused 5000 10 be paid Mr..
Squires, the detective, for letting hin out
of Jail and furnishing him with pistol,
or for giving him chance to Try for bis
escape, which WIS successfully accom-
plished that after his re'arrest in New
York by Mr.. Squires, Squires offered to
release him on the payment Of another
5000 the reward offered for bis re-arrest
was $500 which he told him be could not
raise, but he would give him security on
furniture, jewelry, and other articles if
he would release him, but that Squires
decliued to take anything but money in
hand. 1t is of course, not known for what
reason be made these statements in court;
but whether true or false, il apparently
made little difference with the court, ss
the ten years sentence to Windsor, which
Immediately followed, plainly indicated
that justice and not sympathy controlled
the action of the judges. He will be
taken to Windsor in few days.

brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neerS.

Among the pleasant occasions Of the
season, was the first public installation
of the officers of Rutland Division. No. "a
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engl-
neers, which took place on Friday even
ing at their hall on Merchants Row. A
goodly audience assembled to witness the
ceremonies which commenced at 8 1-2
o'clock.
Ex-Chief W. D. Clapp presided. d. E.
Ladd was the inatalling officer, and E. A.
Littlefeld acted as Master of Ceremonies,
The following officers was installed for
the ensuing term:
George Griswold, @. e.
Moses Beach, E. E.
Edward Dodge, s. e.
E. L. Stearnes, 1st Asst. Z.
George Blanchard, Cd Asst. L.
Henry Conner, Sd Asst. Engineer.
A. Ross, Guard.
The ceremonies were promptly per-
formed, and the charges contained senti'
ments that indicated the worthy and
beneficient mission of the Brotherhood.
In response to calls, remarks were made
by Henry Clark, George A. futile and FL
R. Dyer.
At the close of the installation most
excellent collation. was spread by the
wives of the members, which was enjoyed
with great zest by all who partook. Mr..
Wilson G. Fisher furnished the oysters
and coffee, both of which were of a most
excellent quality, and indicated that
Fisher "knows how to keep hotel" OF
the first order. The edibles furnished
proved that the Engineers Of Rutland
Division have wives who add to their
good looks the quality of furnishing most
excellent tables and arranging them with
taste.
This part of the entertainment was
richly enjoyed and was social festival.
The first public installation of Rutland
Division, was an entire success in every
respect, and when another festival occurs
may we be there to enjoy it with them.
Rutland Division is in prosperous
condition and is composed of worthy men
and we bid it God speed in its benevo-
lent and patriotic mission.

variety of attractive goods. The most at
tractiye to us being a new style OF baby

fiuence upon the rising generation that
we were only restrained from purchasing
by the want of an operator. We noticed
also an ingeniously contrived dining table,
manufactured by Elkins of Albany, that
would serve the purpose OF centre and
two side tables, also skirt board, quilt
ing frame, and cot-bedstead. Also an in
genious little pocket sewing machine
worth ten dollars. that the operator claim
ed had been running all day without
skipping stitch or breaking thread.
The display of agricultural implements
is very large and fine, consisting of plows,
threshers, mowers, reapers, harrows, seed
sewers, stump pullers, hay forks, potato
diggera, cotton gins, corn huskers, corn
shelters, grain and cider mills, pumps, saw
mills.
The show of horses is fine, although
not equal to expectations. The cattle de-
partment is full, the Attorneys being the
most numerous. One OK is exhibited that
weighs over four thousand pounds. The
show of sheep and swine is also very
good.
The show of poultry is large, and there
is a consistent cacklipg and Growing among
the feathered bipeds. Among the curious
specimens is hen, represented as cross
between Dorking and Guinea fowl.
1t is of very singular appearance. There
are also a pair of tame prairie chickens.
Altogether, the fair is a great success,
and doubtless Thursday and Friday will
witness even greater crowds on the
grounds than have yet congregated there
We looked for something bearing the i'm
press of old Vermont's genius or industry
among the inumerable objects of interest,
but although there may have been many,
we were unable to recognize anything.

purposes has sprung up on both sides of

"cool lager" "oysters" and "warm meals

large dark building bears the sign "Danc-

posing that the visitors to the fair will

THE RUTLAND HERALD
wealth, Society's Standard.

Wealth is socioty's principal standard
OF gentility. The rich man receives
low bows and gracious smiles that are
never bestowed on the poor man of equal
merit. His money procures his admis-
sion into the fashionable circles as quar-
ter Of dollar buys ticket to the menag-
erie or puppet show. The young man
with handsome fortune, no matter what
may be his mental caibre or attachments.
Is an object Of special attention to all
mothers with msrriagable daughters, and
it is wonderful to observe how beautiful
and attractive a hundred thousand dol
lars will mako young man appear. Even
the school boy of wealthy parentage, be-
fore be has learned the multiplication
table, imbibes the feelings of superiority
over his plebian classmate. Wealth is so
universally the avenue to distinction and
social elevation that almost the whole
world are striving for it with a mad
mans rage. Rich is relative term, and
while but few aspire to be the Astors or
Rothsohilds Of their country, most are
seeking to add new acquisitions to their
accumulations and become richer than
their neighbors.
Wealth is the great idol of society. AS
the Israelites Of old while Moses was
communing with God on Mount Sinai,
made an Image of gold for their adora-
tious, so now while the minds of God
like afinities are holding converse with
truth in the peuetralia of sciences and
philosophy, the masses of mankind are
foolsbly worshipping golden calves.
What is this wealth that is so highly
estimated and idolizadP 1t is simply the
product of labor-houses, barns, farms,
ships, stores, workshops, corn, cotton,
cattle, roads. mills, merchandise and mo-
ney, are but the representative of wealth.
That man or nation ia richest which has
managed to accumulate the most of the
earnings of labor. England is now
wealthier than she was five centuries ago
ON the same principle that the working
man who earns more than he spends is
every year growing richer.
In New England, teeming with fac
tories, railroads, comfortable dwellings,,
and the fruits of cultivation, three CEN
turtles ago the hungry Indian gathered
sbellish on its ocean boundaries, hunted
the deer through the tangled forests, and
lowered around the pitch wood fire, in his
amoky wigwam, for protection against
sleet and snow. What has effected this
wonderous change, and created this
wealth by which we are surrounded p
the labor Of a hardy and energetic peo-
pie. The growth and prosperity of ell
towns, and states, and nations, though the
process may be more complex, are based
upon labor and labor alone.
Wealth is power. bat secondary pow
or, not primary force; its existence is
contingent and dependent, not sb'olute,
for it is but the exponent of labor and
cannot exist without it. Do not those
who have accumulated wealth through
labor too often forget these facts and
deem they are living in a higher atmos-
pierre of life, forgetting that labor is the
substrstum upon which their edifce is
built, and forget the laborer in his toll
Is therefore our wealth, society's true
standard

The House of Death.


Colonel John Hay, in his "Castillian Days
ellis the story Of noble duke, who shut up b
stately mansion when his dead wife was CARR,
'ut of it, and left it to fall into decay in the mid
# surrounding life.l
Not hand has lifted the latchet
Since she went out of the door;
No footsteps shall cross the threshold
Since she can come in no more
There is rust upon locks and hinges
And mould and blight on the walls
And silence faints in the chambers,
And darkness waits in the halls:
Waits as all things have been waiting,
Since she went, that day of spring:
Borne in her pallid splendor,
To dwell in the Courts of the King,
With lilies on brow and bosom,
With robes of slken sheen,
And her wonderful frozen beauty
The lilies and silk between.
Red roses she left behind her,
But they died long, long ago:
Twas the odorous ghost of a blossom
That seemed through the dusk to glow.
The garments she left mocks the shadows,
With hints of womanly grace,
And her image swims in the mirror
That was so used to her face.
The birds make ipsolent music
Where the sunshine riots outside,
And the winds are merry and want01
With the summers pomp and pride.
But into this desoate mansion
Where love has closed the door,
Nor sunshine nor summer shall enter,
Since she can come in no more.
