CoRoNER's INQUEST. "A Coroner's inquest
was held on Wednesday last by Justice 4. 4.
Fowle upon the dead body OF colored female
child found in thcket about seyenty-hve
yards from the main road, near Gum Spring, on
the Mt. Zepher farm, short distance below
this city, and the jury, of which Richard hewitt
was foreman, rendered verdict OF death by
the hands of its mother,a colored woman named
Josephene King, alias Joe Bransou." The evi,
dence educed was to the effect that the child
had been living at the house Of colored
man named Basil Butler but that its mother
had been told that she must come and take 1t
away; that six weeks ago she did come and take
it away, together with a bundle of its clothes;
that she started up the road near which Its
BODY was afterwards found; that about half an
hour after she left Butler house she was met
by Henry McWilliams but that she had no
child with her then, and when asked by him
what had become Of the child, hung her head
aud passed on without making a reply. She
remained in the neighborhood about two weeks
after the removal of the child from Buffers,
during which time she had no child with her,
and then disappeared.

Agents for the Caledonian,
Redeemed.

New Hampshire redeemed herself
handsomely on Tuesday. The defeat of
one wear ago stung the Republicans of
the Granite state To The quick. and they
have shown the country what they can
do when they try for it.
The particulars, SO far as we have
them at hand, are given elsewhere.
They are in brief this: The Republican
Governor is elected 10y the people with
a majority of from 200 to l-OO. The
Republicans have a majority of some to
in the legislature, thus ensuring Il t. ).
Senator in Prof. Pattersom's place. 1t is
"A question vet, whether Senator Pattcr-
son will he his own successor, on whether
+. II. Rollins of Concord, chairman of
the state committee, will he the man.
Patterson is undoubtedly the best man.
but the Grant at -lny-ratc men think he
has been most too ''imdcpcmdcut on the
Presidential question.
Whichever way this scnatOrShip may
turn, the campaign Just closed has been
one of the most remarkable and hardly
contested ones in New Hampshire, noted
az that state is for hard-fought political
battles. 1t is the first gun of the l'rcSi-
dental campaign, and as such is Si%
niiicant and promising. 1t shows that
there is harmony in the republican
ranks, and we do not see how di>ailc, ted
republicans throughout the country can
get much comfort out of the result.
Now for Connecticut
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1872-03-15

st. Johnsbury Town Meeting.

March meeting has come and gone.
We have had the annual report of the
condition of our finances. giving to
the tax payers some slight intima-
ton of what has been done with the
money in general. without any very
definite statement of the particulars
following i'll this respect very nearly i'll
the track of nearly all their prrdeccs-
SorS.
The town has made some change in
its officers, rotating out two of the list
crS. one who has held the office for
thirteen Years ill succession, and the
other but one wear: and changing the
the office for thirteen Years. and re>tor-
ing Judge Morrill, to the office of select
man. from which he WAS relieved one
year ago.
The Treasurer'> report informs us that
Sl6. I02.:'S, has passed through his
hands the past year. and that the town
requires S259l4 more funds to pay
orders drawn for current expenses.
The report of the Selectmen informs
lis the number of the orders drawn and
to whom. and states generally for what
given. We have had the curiosity to
look over the report to see where the
money has gone. and who have been the
persons to receive the funds. and whcth-
er the money has all been iudiciouslv
expended. Below we give Il brief SUM
mary of our Investigations. 40 classified
that we think all can comprehend it:
The town officers have taken about
S-73 t" pay their bills. which amount
was of course we'll expended.
The town debt contracted during the
war required S',335 to meet the annual
in>talmcnt with the interest, leaving
$4,000 of the debt unpaid.
The Town Hall required about S:}72
to pay its bills. including Scttees pur-
chased and repaired at SlS2 returning
into the treasury $40 leaving the town
minus in cash about SD. with capital
vested in settees.
1t took S22229 To pay for legal services,
and Sl3I to the cemeteries for burial
purposes.
The Justices and SheliffS took about
: lO6 to pay their bills. and paid into the
town treasury >6O. showing IL small loss
to the town.
The old Collector came in for $3.50
for taxes not collcctable: and the Town
Clerk Sl2o for recording bonds. with
80 added for stamps.
j hi DverSeer wanted SI,6l2. to pay
the balance of his bills for the poor.
The Gulf Road swallowed up about
-, 400 of the towns money for work
and damages, leaving the road unfnish
ed, di,niages unpaid, and ii law suit on
hand.
1t required only = ,:}l2 to alter West
and Church streets so that they should
strike each other at right angles, max

that he had the night of the dance drank

having drank less of the liquor, or from
some other cause, were not so seriously
