Tinted states Deposit Money.

The Montpelier Journal OF last week,
gives the redistribution TO the several
towns and cores of this State, of the fund
known as the U. s. Deposit money. This
fund is the portion awarded to Vermont
by Congress of money derived from the
sales of public lands. The distribution
was made at time when the national
government had a surplus of revenue,
and the act was founded on the theory
that the public lands were the common
property of the people; and when the
money from this source was not needed
by the government, both justice and
sound policy demanded distribution of
it to the States according to their repre-
sentative population. This, however,
was not gift to the States but "depos-
it," liable to be recalled whenever need
ed by the nation. As the government
passed through the late war without de-
handing the repayment Of this fund, it
may be assumed pretty safely that the
State will never be called upon for it.
We copy the figures for Windham and
Windsor counties and also the recapitu-
lation for the State, as follows:

REHABILITATION,

A SAD LIFE.-For the last 20 years
there has lived in cave in Saline coun-
ty, KY, entirely alone, singular char
acter named Franklin Elliott, of whose
past nothing was known; only it was sur
missed from his commanding, proud face
and cultivated expression, which his
wretchedness was unable entirely to con-
ceal, that he was the wreck of once en-
We'd manhood. Once or twice in year
he would come into town, and with as
few words as possible, barter .game or
pelts for powder, shot and salt,-nothing
more. When he saw people approach
ing he would always avoid them. A
short time ago two gentlemen were hunt
ing in the forest near the cave where he
lived, and, storm coming up, they
knocked for admission. Hearing no an
swer, they opened the iron bound door,
and saw upon heap of skins and blank
cts the hermit lying dead The cave was
commodious, having been enlarged, by
himself, from small hole to an apart
ment % feet square, and 10 or IL feet
high, but quite void of furniture. Pieces
of stone and inches in the rocky wall
served as chairs, t7bles and shelves. A
rifle and fowling- piece were found, long,
broad bowie-knife, fishing tackle, cook
ing utensils, and number of books
Among the latter were copies of Shaks-
peare, Sterne, Addison, Schiller, Southey
and Spenser Besides these bare neces-
of his existance, something of vastly
more interest was found tin box filed
with papers which revealed his past his
tory and the secret of his strange life
1t was the same old story of disappoint-
ed love, story stale and barren of inter
est to every one but the sufferer. He had
been well born, well educated and afflu-
ent. In early life he was member of
the Kentucky Legislature. There the
blight fell upon him. He became dissi-
pated and desperate and his next misfor.
tune was to fight duel with man nam
ed Bailey, to whom the result was fatal.
The laws of Kentucky were lax against
dueling and he had no trouble in going
abroad, staying in Europe for two or
three years. AT the end of that time re-
morse and despair brought him back to
the solitude of the woods and caves,
which he never afterxard had the cour-
age to desert.

ANOTHER WITNEss.-The Springfield
(Mass.) Republican says that Mr.. L..
Milton Marsh, formerly resident in
Springfield, and we'll known in western
Massachusetts as missionary of the
American Sunday School union, now
having the headquarters of his mission
at Watertown, Wis, went to Green Bay
on the 18th of October with two car
loads of clothing and cooked food and
500 in cash, contributed for the suffer.

" All day long / was in hospital and re-

CHILDREN IN THE NORTH WESTERN
FIREs.-You have already been told the
story of the little boat load of children,
carried from Rock Fall to Canada, and
saved in spite of storm and hunger and
exposure. saw Mrs. Mann, the mother
of these children, who arrived here yester-
day, on board the Huron. She had CIV
en- up all of them for lost. But mother
like, though four were saved, she mourn
ed deeply for the lost one, who halfclad
and shivering in the cold water in the
bottom of the boat, sailed away upon an
unknown and measureless sea, almost in
sight of land and deliverance. There
were five children in this boat belonging
to Mrs. Mann, and four to the owner of
the boat who took them away, making
nine infant voyagers, who for three days
without food and wet to the skin, foated
across Lake Huron in boat which was
kept from going TO the bottom by means
of an old boot and shoe, which were the
only vessels for Dailing that these unfor-
tunate travellers had ON hand. The moth
er's heart seemed deeply touched, and
trembled because no last offices and low
ing ministries could, in the nature of the
case, be paid to the little ones whose voy-
age of life was at once so brief and event.

on tug at Kincardine, Ont, to De re-

Just as 1t was getting under way and went
down. The children were rescued and
sent homeward by the cars. They have
at last reached Port Huron, after adven-
lures by field and flood almost equal to
Othello's, and it is hoped that they will
arrive home without further accident
The babe of Mrs. Schubert of Paris, one
of the Polish exiles, was carried from
its burning home by its grandmother,
while its mother stayed behind to fight
the fire. The grandmother was compel.
ed to lie down in roadside ditch, with
twenty others, where they passed the
night, it being the only refuge from the
flames. The infant was only three
months old, and required nourishment
Luckily the fire had driven COW to seek
company and shelter with those human
beings. A big tin pan was found in q
wagon, and the animal was MIXED
The babys aunt took the muddy com
pound which the flying sand, cinder
and ashes made of the milk into he
mouth, and fed the child in that origina
manner.-Letter to Detroit Post.

SINGULAR PHENOMENA OF THE For
EST FIREs.-The Green Bay, Wis, Ad-
vocate says that cooler headed survivors
of the great fires at Peshtigo and other
points agree in the statement that the
fire did not come upon them generally
from burning trees and other objects to
the windward, but the first notice they
had Of it was a whirlwind of fame, in
great clouds from above the tops of the
trees, which fell upon and enveloped
everything. The atmosphere seemed one
of fire. The poor people inhaled it or in
tensely hot air, and fell down dead. This
is verified by the appearance of many of
the corpses. These were found dead in
the roads and open spaces where there
were no visible marks or fire near by, with
not a trace of burning upon their bodies
or clothing. AT Sugar Bush, which is a
clearing four miles wide at some points,
corpses were found N the open road, be-
tween fences which were only slightly
burned. No mark of fire was upon them,
but they laid there as if asleep. This
seems to explain why so many were kill
ed in compact masses. Fences and clear
ed fields were burned in spots and else
where not touched. Fish were killed in
the streams.

HORRIBLE MURDER OF A M1rr

HORRIBLE MURDER OF WIFE
JEALOUSY THE CAUsE.-A fearful do
nestle tragedy occurred in North Adams
Mass, on Sunday evening. The parties
were young couple, Daniel Gleason
and wife, the former being twenty-one
years of age and the latter only nineteen.
1t seems the husband was jealous of his
wife, and that during the afternoon they
had some words in reference to the atten-
tons shown by a young man of the viii
lage to the wife. In the evening the OBJ.
ject of Gleason's hatred put in an an.
pearance at the house, and stung to mad
ness by his presence, he seized dirk
knife and plunged it into the left breast
of the woman. The blade doubtless
reached the heart, for after few gasps,
the unfortunate woman breathed her
last. Gleason was Immediately taken
into custody. Next morning he express.
ed great contrition for his act, and beg.
ged to see the body of his wife. The
murder created great excitement in AID.

the scene of the tragedy and viewed the
