MEXICAN BANDIT. Information received
in this city as to the result Of the investigation
of the murder Of the two men at stage sta

which was charged on the Tonic Apaches, has
developed the fact that within ten days of the
murder, the stolen horses were discovered In
the possession Of two Mexicans, two hundred
miles from the scene of the murder, and IN a
directly opposite direction from the Tonic res
ervation. Both of the Mexicans we're prompt

MDDLEBURY.-The exhibition of the
Adelphi Society Of Middlebury Graded
School, was held in Academy Hall,
Tuesday evening, Feb. 9th. At an
early hour a good audience of the most
intelligent citizens of this vicinity had
gathered. The exercises were of high
order. The single pieces were spoken in
a mastery manner, with good articula-
ton, infection and grace. The selections
were good and varied. The dialogues
were rendered very we'll and the diff
cult parts executed in a manner worthy
of more experienced performers, The
tableaux were good and served to en-
liven the exercises. The audience gave
marked attention and as they left the
hall expressed themselves highly pleased
with the entertainment. We congratu-
late the members of the Adelphi on the
success they have achieved and worthily
won by their earnest labors. May the
society never be less prosperous than
now and may it continue to be bless
ing to the pupils of coming years, ~

And a fact of great significance to us
teachers, may be gathered from this
SAME, viz, that these schools have more
TO do with the prevention of crime than
the churches in the same provinces.
The most schools produce state of So
ciety the most free from crime. Which
is not true in reference to the churches
| do not give this in any disparagement
to the churches nor to the system of re-
!igion of the country, but only to hold
ap and set before teachers, that we have
IA direct influence and so greet a respOn-
sibility ia reference to the amount of
crime in country.
Fortifying this position, and also to
present another fact Of striking signiti-
canoe is this, that even the education OF
a person to a trade, the training in any
mechanical art, has a most decided and
manifest influence upon the amount of
crime. Several classes of facts and
statistics illustrate and confirm this.
In community where mechanical arts
or trades are largely followed, crime is
found to decrease in proportion to the
persons actively employed in those pur-
suits. Taking the individuals, as such,

comnarativelv of those who have learned
a trade, become guilty of crime. Prof,

Samuel Morse of Rycgate, with the
o4tcnsible business Of a horse buyer. He
moved around with some object in view
but no one knew what. On Sunday
evening he was unusually dcyout and

His teeth were out of order, and DR..
Bartlett put few dollars worth of work
into his head and trusted him. He
snapped watches agreeing to pay $15
to boot. After the trade was made he
told the man that he was going to
another place next day and thought that
he might dispose of the watch he let
him have. He thought it good oppor-
tunity to secure the services of a good
agent without charge, and handed him
the watch, with instructions to ''diSpOse
of it, and I'll be much obliged to you"
The agent probably obeyed orders, for
he has not since been seen, and the hotel
keeper is in deep mourning for his hotel

~ THE INCREASED VoTE.-Rattical journals
now seek tn make it appear that the increas-
ed number of conservative votes cast at she
late election. was owing to the fraud; when
the fact is, that this is the only election since
the war when cur citizens generally turned
out and voted. and we believe there was less
fraud practiced than at any eleetin for many
years past.
To illustrate more fully, we will mention
that prominent merchant of New 0rlean re-
Gently informed us that personally knew of
3,4I5 members of French societies voting,
i'll that city, who had never heretofore voted.
The same has been the case all over the State,
and we hope that the present unexpected turn
of political matters will not prevent them
from making proper use of the elective fran
ehise hereafter, for we have strong hopes
that our only hope is in the ballot.

von Friday night, the Goth instant. a
freedman by the name of William faliasl Jer-
ry Thompson, received two pistol shots, in our
to"n' from the effects of which he died the
next day.
This is what we have been enabled to learn
concerning this affair Victorin Lastrapes
VINO lad charge of Mr.. L. Desmarais' grocery
during his temporary absence. discovered that
some one had deposited shoulder of pork in
hogshead in the yard of the,grocery. Sus-
pecting that it had been placed there with the
intention of being carried off at night, he and
his nephew, Missile N. Lastrapes posted them
selves in the vicinity after dark to discover
the thief. About o'clock man entere, the
yard and after finding the shoulder of meat
was proceeding to retire when he was called
upon to halt but refusing to obey, victorin
fired, the first shot failing to stop the thief. a
second shot was fired, when the fugitive stop-
ped, and it was discovered to be William
Thompson. and that he was wounded.
On Tuesday last Victorin and Missile Las
trapes appeared before Justice Knox, and after
q preliminary examination Missile was dis
charged and Vicrorin released under $500 bond
to appear before the District Court.
There may be some slight errors in the above
report of this tragedy, but we do net believe
the testimony i'll the case will deviate much
from this statement.
