The Danbury News man says man

severe industry has succeeded in getting
his family little place, free of incum-

Beaver brook mills on Sunday afternoon.
After sitting on the bank for couple of
hours without catching anything, he was
gratiicd to see on a stone in the water IA

end of the turtle was toward him, and he
thought he would capture it, but while he
was looking for a place to step, the turtle
gravely turned around without his knowl-

ciable animal just reached out and took
hold of Mr.. Gilseys hand with grasp that
left no doubt of its sincerity. The shrieks
of the unfortunate man aroused some of
the neghbors, but when they arrived it
was too late to be of any benefit to him, or
even to themselves, for they just caught a
glimpse of a bareheaded man tearing over
the hill, swinging small carpet-bag in one
hand, and they at once concluded that it
was narrow escape from highway rob-

SENATOR MORRILL,.

The Herald attacks Senator Morrill, in
in its Fridays issue. for donating his back
pay to the State. 1t snecringly asks
whats the difference" between pocket
ing it" and turning it over to the State.
Perhaps the Herold, the Woodstock Post,
and one or two other newspapers
of the same class, can convince
the people of Vermont that JUS
tin S. Morrill, is a dishonest man, but we
don't believe it. 1t may be policy, just
now, to denounce Mr.. Morrill, but we don't
see it, and we are sure that the time is not
far distant when some of the "HeroM at
toches," as they call themselves-or, rather,
are called-will regret the attack and seek
to curry favor with the Senator. We are
thankful that we have no political IA
vors to ask, and are, therefore, always
ready to condemn or approve the acts of
public men as our judgment may dictate.
The popularity Of particular act or in
dividual makes no difference with us. If
we believe an unpopular man or measure
to be just, we will sustain them, and we
will condemn and oppose wrong policy
or act, no matter how popular it may be,
or how high its supporters may stand in
the affections of the people, We believe
the back pay measure was wrong, but
when 1t was passed and n majority of Con.
gress .'pocketed it," we think that the
course of Justin S. Morrill, was the only
wise one to he pursued. We have discuss
ed this question so often that our views
must be understood that the back pay
never should have been voted, and thai
not single member should have taken it,
This is plain sailing so far, but it was
voted and about one half of the Senators
and very large majority of Representa-
tives accepting the money and converting
ii to their own use, put different phase
on the matter. The retroactive clause was
wrong. foolish and perhaps wicked, but
you cannot make a grab" or ''steal" of it
because Congress only acted under thu
powers granted to them by the constitu
ton. Under this state of facts, we thinl
when Mr.. Morrill, had decidednot to CONVEX
the money TO his own use, he did exactl!
right in paying it over to the state treas
urer. Having defined our course before
we should not have again alluded to TIN
subject but for the cowardly, vacilla
ting course of the Herald in changin
ts ground in compliance to what it mis-
takenly supposes to be the popular side
Confession should always precede retrac
ton, and both positions recently occupic,
by the HSraH cannot he right.

THE MENNONuTES IN KANSAS.

Kansas il about to receive large and
valuable addition to her population, and
We know of no state that needs ii more 1t
has been one of the most unfortunate states
that was ever admitted into the Union, her
history being one of crime, bloodshed,
fraud and corruption. Gaining terrtori-
al existence by the iniquitous 'Kansas- Ne
braska BILL q strife at once commenced
between the border ruiilans, as they were
called, and the free state men," to deter
mine whether or not the territory, when 1t
became state, should sanction the intro
duction of slavery. Both parties resorted
TO the most corrupt means to secure sue
cess ; and rioting, bloodshed, and even war
were the means used:to accomplish the re-
suits aimed at by either side. Not only did
the different parties organize themselves
into, what might be called, diminutiye ar
mics and fight open battles, but bands
were organized to lay in wait fol individu-
ais of the other side, and cruelty murder
them. Villages were sacked by either
party, detached dwellings burned and cow
ardly, secret assasinations frequently re-
sorted to. Such men as slim Lane" were
leaders and the followers were mostly of
the same order. When the rebellion broke
out, the people of the state were not con-
tent to contribute their quota of volunteers
to fight in accordance with the rules of
civilized warfare, but organized bands of
'jayhawkers," who made forays without
reference to the usages of war. Attacks
were made upon non combatants, and
property was wrested from defenceless

On the It'll of July, Anna Priestcr, aged
thirty-two, and Frederick Rupert, twenty
seven, were behcaded ut Dessau, the Ger

crowds that witnessed their last moments
were their husbands. Anna Pricster. and
Frederick Rupert had paid visit to the
aged widow CARING, on the l2th Of April
The old lady had showed them large
casket filed with precious stones. and after,
they had left her they determined to return

the widow in bed and sm0thered her to
death by pressing pillow upon her head.
They obtained the precious stones and
other yaluahes. hat on the following
morning they were arrested and soon after
convicted of murder and sentenced to
death. Their life in prison was an almost
unbr0ken series of sickcning scenes of fear
and despair. On the morning of the day
OF their death Executor Pritzicr entered the
cell After tying their Lands behind them,
and connecting their feet with short
leather strap, he cut off the upper part Of
their dresses, exposing their nccks Dur
