The deepest grief fell upon the hearts Of most
Of our citizens last Wednesday evening upon the
announcement Of the death OF Frank A. Winch,
son of joel Winch Esq, who died az the college
in Mddetlwn, Conn on the morning Of that
day, after an illness of about three days aged
twenty-five years lie left us but few weeks
since, proud in his manly strength and yigor and
earnest in the prosecution Of his work lie was in
his junior year in college, and was the acknowl-
edged leader Of his class, noble and generous in
all bis attributes lie the youngest son Of his
parents, and upon them the blow falls with crush
ing weight, His funeral was largely attended on
Friday at the Methodist church. from which placc
be was buried with masonic honors Rev A.
c. Stevens delivered an excellent address on the
occasion.
On Thursday last, Mrs. Nye, wife Of Samuel
II. Nye, lett home and took the : "a A. NJ. train,
ostensibly to visit her parents and relatives in
Barre, and there to remain until Thanksgiving,
at which time she was to be joined By her hus-
band and son. On the same day A jackson
/ Cross, a young married man. who has been car
ryng on Mr. Nye's farm for tho past two seasons,
/ left home with load Of turkeys Tor West Ran
dolph to send them to market, and with word
left with his family that he should await returns
| from his poultry before he came home. On Sat
urday Mr.. Nye, who il engaged in the granite
business in Berlin, near lAnosyille, returned
home and vas informed Of the absence of Mrs. n
and Mr.. Cross. At first he was not suspicious Of
wrong doing and returned back to Berlin that
night with his partner Mr.. Trow. Here he passed
a sleepless night, and rising early came to North
field on foot, intending to take his son, and to-
gether start at once for Barre Before starting,
word came from Randolph that Cross came there
lHulsuhlt put up MS team without EMBARRASSING
remarkingas he went away that he would be back
soon and attend to his team but that up to Satur
day noon, he bad not been seen nor heard from.
This increased Mr.. Nyes suspicious, the more so
as he found Mrs Nye's travelling trunk gone, and
all his silyer-ware missing But he went tina
day to her friends, IN Barre, where he found that
hil wife had mol been, and no word had come 20
them of her whereabouts His conviction then
deepened into a certainty that his wife and Mr.
Gross had eoped Mr.. Cross has been engaged
in buying poultry this fall, using in the main,
money furnished by Mr. Nyu. The proceeds OF
his specuations Cross has pocketed Mr.. Nye's
wife had collected, during the past four weeks,
considerable money belonging to Mr. Nye, and
had contracted large debts at the store, in Mr..
Nye's name Between the two, Mr.. Nye will
lose probably not far from siOoO-but he will
be well rid of two precious villains. Mr.. Cross
leaves wife and two children without property,
or means of support of any kind. Mrs. Nye leaves
a son about twelve years old, bright and inter
esting boy. Mr.. Nye was entirely unsuspclous OF
marital nidelity on the part of his wife, and the
blow comes with greater force because of its un.
expected nature Willie, the son, is nearly fran
tic at the thought OF his mothers disgrace. But
for the consolation of Mr. Nye, there is this fact,
the conduct Of his wife is entirely unprovoked on
his part, for he has ever been kind, indulgent
and allectionate husband, and is one of our most
esteemed citizens
