A DETERMINED SUIcIDE.-The stables of
Messrs. Hicks & White on Hancock square,
Charlestown, was the scene of terrible
tragedy on Tuesday of last week. Edwin
Wheeler, % years of age, son of Jesse
Wheeler of Monroe, committed suicide
there about O'Clock, a. M, by cutting his
throat with pocket knife. He had just
led horse into a stall, and on turning to
come out drew a large double bladed knife
across his throat, opening a deep wound.
The act was witnessed by several parties,
and Mr.. j. Tyler Hicks, one of the propri
etors of the stable, and Mr.. j. b. Fisk,
seized the self-murderer's hands, who, des-
pite the fact that his windpipe was nearly
severed, struggled to complete his work.
With frenzied strength he wrenched away
his right hand, and plunged the knife
twice again into his throat, and then with
the fingers of the left hand actually tore
open the wound, sending the life-blood in
crimson jets over the Mortified by. tanders.
He then fell to the floor and almost instant
ly expired. Wheeler's family consists of
a father, two brothers and four sisters. He
came TO Charlestown Monday from Mon
roc, along with brother-in-law, Mr.. Phi
10 Sibley, TO deliver four horses to Mr..
Hicks, who had purchased them in Mon
roe few weeks ago. He had shown signs
of insanity previously, the result of unre-
Quilted affection, and was kept under close
surveillance, having frequently threatened
to make way with himself. 1t seems he
had loved to distraction young girl in
VIII tingham, VT, who at first requited his
affection but afterward heard unpleasant
reports concerning him, and refused to
marry him. He became craZed ut home
and often threatened suicide and murder,
and for five weeks past has had to be con-
S family watched. His family, thinking to
divert his mind by new sights and sounds,
allowed him to accompany his brother-in-
law to Charlestown to deliver some horses
which had been purchased in Monroe.

VEN. r.s.uPsuIRR INJECTION.

Quite contrary to the general expecta-
ton the election in New Hampshire, Tues
day, for governor, railroad commissioner,
three congressman and Legislature re-
suited in full vote and a democratic vic
tory on the state ticket, although by small
plurality. Three parties were in the field,
the republican, democratic and labor reform
the candidates of each for governor being
as follows Republican, James Pike; dem
ocratic, j. A. Weston; labor, l.. p. Cooper.
The labor reformers, however, polled but
very few votes, and the contest was be-
tween the other two parties. Returns from
172 towns about three-fourths of the state,
give Pike 2S,2i1, Weston 2S, 1856, Cooper
253 and scattering l32,-showing net re-
publican loss of 2476. The remaining
towns will probably increase the democrat
ic gains sufficiently to elect Weston by 1000
majority. Pixies defeat is conceded. In
the second congressional district, A. +,
Stevens, the late incumbent, is defeated fol
recollection by Samuel N. Bell. The Other
two districts are close, but the election o
the other two democratic congressman /:
conceded-Hibbard of Laconia in the frs
and Parker of Claremont in the third.

THE ST.ITE HOUSE P.sI.VTI.vG.

1t will be remembered that our last Falls
Legislature authorized Gov. Stewart TO
contract with Julian Scott, an artist born
in Vermont, for painting of a historical
battle-piece for the State Capitol. The sub
ject of the painting has not yet been de-
cided upon and Col. Aldace f. Walker in
letter to the Free Press, reviews the ma
ny battles in which Vermont troops were
prominent, and with objections to nearly
all of them, and concludes as follows:
The day and hour to my mind most ap-
propriate are to be found at 6 p. NJ. on the
10th of September, 1864, the moment when
success became assured in the first and
greatest of Sheridan's victories in the She
nandoah Valley, the battle of Winchester,
or, as it is officially called, of the Opequan.
1t was just at sunset of a perfect day.
Our troops had been under arms since
midnight and in actual and desperate con-
lict since daybreak and earlier. After va
ried success and repulse, after heavy and
memorable loss, after an exhibition of tao
teal skill on the battle field which irst
called the attention of the country to Phil
Sheridan us one of the worlds few gener-
ais after long hours of effort and suspense,
at last as the sun approached the peaks of
the Western mountains, the rebels percep-
tibly gave way. The whole Southern ar
my as it crumbled in pieces, was in sight
of the Vermont Brigade. Our cavalry
were to be seen plunging into the throng
where flags and cannon and thousands of
prisoners waited to be captured. The en-
tire Union infantry advanced in single
line, every battle flag waving, every step
free, every heart beating with enthusiastic
ardor. The grandest battle-line of tho war
| instinctively sought a harmonious align
ment on that open plain, and thus in an
immense crescent, swept on towards the
beautiful city of Winchester, which was in
full view, perhaps mile away, while all
| the artillery in the army were hurting
| shells over our heads into the ranks of the
panic stricken enemy. The four Vermont
organizations in Sheridan's command were
all equally conspicuous, and no prouder
| day for Vermont, or more thrilling scene
for an artist to depict can be found in all
those four eventful years.
am confident that, with skillful hand
ling, the subject l have suggested is one Of
all others to satisfy our citizens.

sition and his well-earned fame-these ex-
haust the catalogue: and whose faults are
Tower or less grave? On the other hand,
are an eye so single, heart so pure, ca
reer so spotless, that the most ribald and
licentious press that over impeded the pro-
gross of civilization has never yet dared TO
impeach the purity of his motives or the
holiness of his aims. In an age when nearly
every public man is accused of vonality-
often most unjustly-no one has even vcn-
tured to suggest or insinuate that Charles
Sumner over gave n vote or made motion
in Difference to any sordid impulse or in the
expectation that his always modest income
would thereby be increased. The most
reckless and scurrious Democratic partisan
orator, while abusing Mr.. Summer without
scrupo or stint, under the stimulus of ap-
plauding yells, would have instantly check

al worth of him whom they all detestcd as
a fanatic and a deadly foe to the integrity
and perpetuity of our Union.
After all fair deductions and qualifica-
tons have been made, Mr.. Sumner stands
| to-day the foremost American Senator.
Say, if you will, that he has been needless

Domingo-that he might have strenuously,
forcibly resisted annexation without max
ing personal issue with our mild-mIn-
nered President and his most urbane Secre.

OBITUARY,

Deacon David Crawford, whose death
was announced last week, was born in
Westminster West, Aug. 6, 1889. When
ten years of age, his parents removed to
Putney, and this was ever after the place
of his residence. In the war of 1912, he
held various military commissions, and
distinguished himself in several hard
fought battles, as an officer of superior
judgment, discretion and courage. At the
close OF the war, the army being reduced
to peace establishment of 10000 men, he
was retain ed in his full rank but although
this was highly complimentary to him, not
intending to spend his days in the army,
he declined the honor. lie was afterwards
honored by his iellow-citizens with num-
Der of important civil offices. lie repre-
scented the town of Putney in 1928 and 80,
'32 and SO; was a member of the last exec
utive council in 1885; eector of President
and Vice President in 1896; Senator from
Windham County in 1S40-41 membor OF
a Convention to act u pom proposed articles
to alter the State Constitution in 1913; a
member of the Council of Censors in lS4S.
lie was also selectman for many years, and
a Justice of the Peace for quarter of a
century. The duties of these offices he
discharged with credit to himself and to
the satisfaction of his constituents. lie
was ever a regular attendant upon public
worship and a liberal supporter of the gos-
pei. He united with the Congregational
| church in Nov. 1888. In March follow
! ing he was chosen Deacon of the church
| Both in his private and official capacity
| he maintained consistent walk and con.
! versation, endeavoring to discharge the
duties of his profession in Il conscientious
manner. Deacon Crawford was a man Of
srtong powers of mind and of correct NOR
and was ever the advocate of right. He
was not hasty in forming his opinions, but
when his mind was made up, he exhibited
| great firmness and decision. By his ex.
tensive reading and observation, he acquir
ed more than ordinary knowledge of mer
and things, and this gave him wide influ
ence over his fellow citizens. Long will
he be held in the ailectionate and grateful
remembrance of the many friends whom
he has left to mourn his loss During tn,
closing months of his life, his Thoughts
seemed to dwell more on spiritual subjects
The truths of the gospel were precious tc
him, and by these his soul was refreshed
and his hope encouraged. In his last sick
ness his suflierings were great, yet patienc,
and submission to the Divine will mark &c
his spirit His end was peace,

EDITORIAL EXcURsIoN.-Member OF
the Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts Editorial Associations will
remember that at the several meetings of
these associations last fall committees were
appointed to arrange for a united excur-
sion this year. These committees met in
Boston on Tuesday. There were present
Messrs. Elwell and Butler, from the Maine
Association Messrs. Hill and Coggswell
from the New Hampshire Association
Henry Clark and Col. Hopkins from the
Vermont Association and Messrs. Dress
er, Merrill, Slack, and Stockwell of the
Massachusetts Association. After a full
conference it was deemed advisable to have
such an excursion provided the necessary
arrangements could be effected satistacto-
rily, and several committees were appoint
ed to look over the graund and report at
an early day. The programme in conttm-
plation is trip to Lake George, thence to
st. Adams and Montreal, and thence to
Newport, VT, where the party will have Il
grand lcyoe. From this point trips could
he made to the White Mountains, or those
who desired to could return directly home.
The committees expect to be able to make
definite announcement by the first of
April.
