Last month Mrs. Jane Otterman, neigh
gor nvlng near Mrs. Lamb, went over to Mrs.
% La.inDs mousse to get pail of water. On her
leeurIl she complained of violent pains in her
s1oIlacn: Sne vomited freely, and felt some

TOR went out and made a presentation leavins

tain circumstances. After the doctor left
Mrs. Lamb, who was at Mrs Ottermon,s as'
sisting in caring for her, suggested that one Of
the powders be administered, and. Mrs Of
terruan acquiescing, Mrs. Lamb went into
the pantry and prepared it, and it was taken.
Immediately Mrs. Otterman complained of
violent pains again, such as those complained
of before, and in few minutes was dead.
Last week, Royal Garland, also neighbor
of Mrs. Lambs, died under circumstances
alike suspicious with the deaths mentioned.
Mrs. Lamb cooked for Mr.. Garland during
harvest. On the day of Mr.. Garland's death,
Mrs. Lamb was there as usual. There was a
large crew of harvest hands At dinner Mrs
Lamb waited upon the table. During the
meal she said: "Wby, Royal l forgot to
give you any tea" She went into the pam
try, where she remained short time,
brought out cup and filed it with tea from
the teapot which was standing on the stove.
Mr.. Garland drank the tea, and shortly COM
planned OF severe pains in his stomach. How
ever, he went to the field with the other men
but was so sick that he was taken Immediate
ly to the house, and in a few minutes was
dead.
Such an array of suspicious circumstances
caused the arrest of the woman. She is now
confined in Jail at Ellsworth, and is to be ex-
amined at River Falls on the 5th of Septem-
Der.
The rtomsch was taken out of the body of
Mr.. Garland and sent to Dr. Hoyt of this
city, to be analyzed. We learn that the doc
tor has found poison in the stomach. The
bodies OF the other victims have been disin-
TERED and the stomachs taken out, and are
now In DIR. Hoyt's hands for analysis.
After Mrs. Lamb was arrested her house
was searched. In a bureau draw a bottle was
found said to contain strychnine and paper
said to contain arsenic. As to the motives
that actuated this woman to her terrible
crimes, we are left only to conjecture Of
course all sorts of rumors are ahoat. 1t is
said but we do not know with how much
truth, that Mrs. Lamb has repeatedly ex-
pressed a desire and intention to get title to
the farm on which she lived, and that by poi
sOning her husband and children she hoped
to do so. 1t is also said that she has often
expressed her strong dislike to Mrs. Otterman.
We have heard of no reason being assigned
for poisoning Mr.. Garland.

The Boston Journal thinks the strangest
example of ''stitch in time" is the custom
which prevails among Dutch families living in
the Catskills, that of preparing their
own grave clothes. They take great pride in
fashioning them of the finest materials and
making them up in the daintiest manner. If
the owner lives long enough for them to be-
come yellow with age they give place to new
and fresh ones.

Our Memher off CONGRESS.

We have, until recently, confidently
expected that Judge Poland would be
returned to Congress from this District
without opposition, and by common con-
sent of the republicans but it is now
understood that contest more or less
sharp will be had for the nomination.
Judge Steele. of Hartland, Windsor
county, and his friends are now actively
in the field against Judge Poland, We
deeply regret this, for however readily
we may concede Judge Steele's qualifi-
cations for the office he seeks, we regard
a change at this time as unwise, and
prejudicial to the highest interests of the
country. For many years past this Con-
gressional District has been singularly
fortunate in the character and ability Of
the men representing it. The people
held Mr.. Morrill, in the House of Repre-
sentatives, in spite of all opposition, for
six successive terms, ending in 1866 with
his election to the U. S. Senate. Judge
Poland fortunately became his successor
in the House, aud has now served three
terms with distinguished ability. 1t is
we'll known that Judge Poland ranks
with the ablest and most influential men,
bers of the House. As jurist his ad-
vice is sought by committees having in
charge questions of statute or constitu-
tional law involved in national legisla-
ton. From his long and ripe expert
ence as a judge and legislator, we think
he is needed in the House of Represen-
tatives, and we know the people of this
county fully agree in this opinion. With
out any disrespect to the qualifications
or ambitions of any other man. the re-
publican freemen of the county of Wind
ham want no change at this time, and
Judging from advices from all parts Of
the county, we can say they are unit
against it, but will use all due efforts to
return Judge Poland so his old seat in
the House of Representatives Brattle-
boro Picnic.
