years, was arraigned before Justice Slade,
last week, charged with firing the barns,

of the Gath of August. The boy plead
guilty, and was put under ten thousand

county court He disclosed that Mr. Har-

deed, Offering him fifty dollars if he
would do it. Mr.. Foot wes arraigned be-
fore the same justice, and thorough ex-
animation then took place. The court
disbelieVed. the story of young Morgan,
and discharged Mr.. Foot. In a few
hours the boy said that what he had
sworn to about Mr.. Foot was false; that
he never said a word to him on the sub
jeot, but that his father, J. Morgan, was
the one that requested him to commit the
crime of arson. Mr.. Morgan was conse-
quently arrested and brought before the
same Justice, when the boy swore that his
father did request him to fire the build

truth of this last statement, adjourned
the hearing until the 9th inst The boy
now states that he swore falsely against
his father, and that he alone, uninfiuenced
by any one, set fire to the buildings. Such
an instance of perjury, wilful and mali

sARAroGA SPRINGs, Sept. 4th

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Sept. 4th.
If any one thinks that the past season
has not been favorable for Saratoga, be
must think the people here somewhat in
sane on the subject of new hotels. Last
week I told you about the new United
States Hotel, to be built, AMI now l have
to tell of another first class hotel in en-
bryo. The site opposite the Clarendon
Hotel is the one selected, and @ E. Leland
Of the Clarendon Hotel is the man pro-
j4ctiug it. He has part of the plan
prepared, and has opened negotiations
with John Morrisey, the owner of the
lot, for the ground. The proposition Is
for fine house to occupy the whole
front of three hundred feet, finished and
furnished throughout in the most perfect
manner, to accommodate about six hun
dred guests. Mr. Leland has lease of
the Clarendon House for another year,
and he proposes to have the new house
done in time to open at the expiration of
his lease in 1878
John Morrisey has his plans about
ready for new building to be put up
on the lot adjoining his club house. 1t
is to be one hundred and thirty feet front
by sixty deep, three stories high, well
built and finished throughout. On the
first floor will be ten bowling alleys, five
for ladies and five for gentlemen, in sepa-
rate rooms; and large room fer ceiling
pools and for the use of racing sssocia-
tions at race meetings. The second and
third stories will be finished in suits for
lodgings.
The preparations are about completed
for the County Fair, which opens for ex-
hihitors on Tuesday, and to the general
public on "Wednesday, to continue Thurs
day aud Friday. The officers feel conf
dent that the coming show will be the
best ever held by the county society.
B3a's are coming for the regatta, to
commence next Saturday, and hundreds
of people visit the Lake every day to see
the crews in their practice. Seven crews

very exciting time il expected. 1 think
twelve or fourteen are entered for the
single scull race, to be rowed on Monday
next.
AS another evidence of the progress OF
Saratoga, will tell you OF a land specu-
lation. In July the old county fair
grounds, lying partially in the village,
were sold to four gentlemen for $13,250.
They had the land surveyed and mapped
into lots so by 1875 feet, and so and $50
feet. They fenced the streets and on Sat
urday offered parts of the lots at auc-
ton. Out of eighty-four lots in the plot
forty-fou were sold, bringing 81 ,845, or
within $4,000 of the total cost of the
whole parcel, and they have forty lots left,
averaging about as eligible as those sold.

If favorable weather prevails, there can
be no doubt of a successful fair, and a
splendid show in every department.
1t is mainly for the citizens of North
Eastern Vermont to see to it, that Floral

favorable reputation of former years.
Let the people of Central and Western

The " Ague."

The following waif which we find floating about
n our exchanges, without any accredited pater-
lity, too good to be lost, and being peculiarly
ignifcant lust at this time to some of our readers
We republish it for their benefit. The author
evidently knows how it is himself;
Once upon an evening bleary,
While I sat me dreaming dreary,
In the sunshine, thinking DER
Things that passed in days of yore;
While nodded, nearly sleeping,
Gently came in something creeping.
Creeping upward from the floor,
otis cooling breeze" muttered,
g From the regions meath the floor;
Only this and nothing more"
All along my back the creeping
Soon gave place to rushing, leaping,
As if countless frozen demons
Had concluded to explore
Ali the cavities-the varmints-
'Twixt me and my neither garments,
Through my boots into the floor;
Then found myself a-shaking-
Gently shaking more and more
Every moment more and more.
i WAS Tie <aS uS1 auO ~ SLOOA AAAS
Into heavy clothes, and took me
Shaking to the kitchen-every
Every place where there was warmth in
store,
Shaking til the China ratified,
Shaking till my morals ratified,
Shaking, and with all my warming,
Feeling colder than before,
Shaking till it had exhausted
An its power to shake me more
Till it could not shake me more.
Then it rested till the morrow,
When it came with all the horror
Tha, it had the face to borrow,
Shaking, sh 4king as before,
And from that day in September
Day which 1 shall long remember
It has made diurnsl visits,
Shaking, shaking, oh! so sore!
Shaking off my boots, and shaking
Me to bed if nothing more,
Fully this. if nothing more.
Aud to-day the swallows fitting
Round my cottage see me sitting
Moodily within the sunshine
just inside my silent door,
Waiting for the Ague, seeming
Like a man forever dreaming,
And the sunlight on me streaming
Sheds no shadows on the floor,
For l am too thin and SailO20
To make SHad0t0S on the floor,
Nary shadow-any more!

Rev. Mr.. Hall, D. D., rector of the
Church of the Epiphany, at Washington,
d. c., who has for several weeks been rus
ticating at Bread Loaf Inn, preached in
St. Stephens church, in our village, last
week. The Rev. gentleman is ripe schol-
ar and an able preacher. He is highly
esteemed as a man of deep piety, enjoying
the fullest confidence of his parish and
congregation in Washington, and the
Episcopal Church, with other Christian
denominations throughout the country.
"A good deal of excitement prevails in
our county among sheep buyers, who arc
buying Llarge lots of sheep, OF price
largely in advance of what they were
sold at twelve months since. Sheep that
would then command only about two dol.
lars per head, now readily sell for from
ten to fifteen dollars. Several focks have
been shipped West. Twenty sheep of
find quality were sold last week for TWEEN
ty dollars !per head, and the man who
bought them could have sold them for
twenty-five dollars per head within few
hours. While sheep are thus going up,
beef cattle are going down. Several farm
ers have told me that they could not sell
at all. The butchers appear not to have
found out this fact, at least judge so
from the fact that they ask so high prices
for meat yet. But there is, hope, a good
time coming for the poor man, when it
will not take days work in value to pro.
cure six or eight pounds of beef steak fer
his family. Butter sold last market day at
twenty-five cents per pound. Potatoes
sold last week early Rose at our depot for
thirty cents per bushel.
The Turrill place, so long in the mar
ket, was sold last week to Mr.. Gideon
Minor, of the firm But to lph & Minor,
of our village, for TO ur thousand five hum
dred and fifty dollars.
The fall term of our graded school is
now in progress, under the direction of
Prof A. J. Sanborn, Principal. Nearly
Is scholars are in attendance from out
of town. Prof. ISsnborn's reputation as a
teacher stands desirably high, and we
predict successful term Of the school.

The Suicide of william A. Hale.
CORoNER's INQUEST.

The examination into the circumstances
attending the discovery of the dead body
of William A. Hale, on Sunday morning,
commenced yesterday at nine o'clock a.
M, at the Office of Warren Fl. Smith,
Esq, before Justice B. W. Marshall. The
first witness examined was George A.
Patch, the author of the black-mailing
letter, the receipt of which appears to
have been the immediate cause which led
Mr.. Hale to rashly end his life. The sus'
picions against Patch as being directly
implicated in the death of Mr.. Hale,
which had been excited on Sunday, and
which had led to his arrest, were found
to be based upon such unsubstantial evil
dence that the charge was not entertained
by Justice Marshall. He was according
ly discharged from custody. The follow
ing is the testimony taken at the inquest,
