DEATH OF Hon. GEO. w. BENEDICT.
Hon. George w. Benedict, died at his
residence in Burlington on Sunday morn
ing last, aged rs years. He was for ~
years Professor in the University of Yer
mont, for ID years one of the editors and
proprietors of the daily Free Press. A
State senator in 1854 and 1886, was wide,
ly known through New England and
New York. He was the elder brother OF
L. c. Benedict, of New York city, and
father of Charles Benedict, United States
District Judge for the eastern district OF
New York, and of Hon. George Gran
yille Benedict, one of the present editors
of the Burlington Free Press. In poll
tics he was a firm and unwavering repub-
lican, and one of the founders of the
republican party in this State, being a
member of Chittenden county conven-
ton in 1854, which We think was the
first convention in the State looking to
the formation of the republican party in
Vermont, and his death takes from our
State one of her noblest and best men.

LOOK OUT FOR BURGLARs.-The bur.
glars have made another grand raid in
Rutland, and the Herald says that with
in few weeks they have hadno less than
eighteen distinct cases ofburglary 10 that
town. The burglars are very bold and
have raided twice on the same street,
They enter houses through windows, ire
quently into the cellars, and from there
have no trouble in going up into the in
side Of the dwelling, where they steal
silver ware and enter bedrooms and pick
the pockets of the sleepers. This last is
their favorite performance. They found
houses with the cellar doors barred and
thus could not get inside farther than
the cellar, and left the premise for pla-
ces where it was more accessible.

is progressing and will be ready for use
before winter. Robins & Marsh have
one of the best hardware stores in Wind

kept by lngraham sustains the old rep

good compliment as can be paid to
any public house. The people of Ches-

houses. manufactures, agriculture and
business and good rewards doubtless
await them.

FELcHyILLE-Mr Otis Baldwin, for
mer partner of Thomas & Thornton at
FelchviIie, has taken the late Mr.. Thorn
as interest in the store Of Thomas,
Thornton & Kendall, and the business
is continued by the new firm.
BY the side Of the road, about half
mile below Felchville, and near a small
brook, are two interesting and historical
tombstones side by side, on which are
the following inscriptions:
"This is near the spot that Indians
encamped the night after they took Mrs.
johnson and family, Mr.. Larabee and
Farnsworth, August 30, 1874, and Mrs.
johnson was delivered of her child half
a mile up this brook.
When troubles near the Lord is kind,
He hears the captve's cry,
He can subdue the savage mind
And learn its sympathy
On the other and smaller stone is the
| following;
"On the 31st August, 1854, Capt.
James johnson had daughter born on
this spot Of ground, being captivated
with his whole family by the Indians"
The inscriptions on both stones are
much obscured by the hand of time, and
on the larger one is the figure of an In
dian with bow and arrow drawn. The
captives afterwards made their escape,
and the child born under the above stat
ed circumstances, was named Captive"
and there is still living in Felchville a
lady who knew her well, Mrs. Ives, who
is now about eighty years OF age.

THE hesitancy of the French

Presidential power for a term OF
years, shows that things are not
altogether agreeable or settled in
France. The side lss6e of a vote
of urgency. with which the matter
was STAYED off, shows that even the
Republicans are afraid of meeting
directly the Presidential question.
AT the same time il is stated that
the opposItien to the project of vo-

come East, but the two debated a

dallars, which was then due TO him,
With which TO pay his Expenses.
The debtor who owed the money
was no other than Hon. Henry ID.
Cooke, Governor of the hew terrific
~ of Columbia. The two young
men were WhIteiew Reid, of the
Tribune, now the most prominent
managing editor IN The country,
and W. D.. HowelFs, editor of the
Atlantic Monthly, who is coming to
be acknowledged on both sides of
the ocean as one of the most grace
full and charming of essayIsts. We
see that the highest English author
lty compares HIM with Lamb,
while high authorities in this coun-
try speak of him as resembling Irv-
ing and Hawthorne. In truth, he
Is as thoroughly individual as any
of these writers. Mr.. HowelIs was
never at college, VIC believe. He
was chiefly educated IN the Office of
the country newspaper of which
his father is editor.
