the murder of his wife, was hanged in Bos-
ton. March 81. and Foster, for the murder
of Avery d. Putnam with car-hook, in
New York. The stern work in both In
stances was done without any unseemly ex-
hibition. "A fire broke out March 81, in
the Erie ferry-house at the foot of Pavonia
avenue, Jersey City, and owing to strong
wind spread to one passenger and two
fret stations of the road, which were
destroyed Taylor's saloon was also damag-

lei to the Nathan tragedy came to light

FOREIGN.
Although the French war indemnity has
been paid under pressure, the ease with
which the money has been raised IS vastly to
the credit of the French nation. Freely
have the people subscribed to the loan, and
but one more milliard remains to be paid.
A serious riot between Englishmen and
Irishmen occurred in Wolyerhampton,
town of Staffordshire, twelve miles from
Birmingham, March Is. At least 5000
persons were engaged in the conflict. Fire
arms and knives were freely used, and much
blood shed, though no cases of fatal injury
have been reported. The case OF the
French government against Marshal Ba-
zaine, charged with reasonable conduct IN
the surrender of Metz, has proved very
weak, the evidence not being sufficient TO
warrant his conviction. President Theirs
advises that no further action be taken be-
fore the court-martial and that Bazaine be
released from custody. The resumption
of Office by the Gladstone ministry was for
mally announced March 20 in the British
House Of Commons by Mr.. Gladstone, and
and in the House Of Peers by Lord Gran
vile. They took occasion in making the
announcement to rebuke the opposition for
refusing, after defeating the government, to
form a new ministry, and Mr.. Disraeli and
the Duke of Richmond, in their respective
houses, defended the action Of the conser-
yatiyes.

chronicled, was brought before Hon. Geo.
W. Grandey, at Vergennes, on Tuesday
last. lie pleaded gully to the charge oil
stealing two horses in November last from
Henry 7. Booth, of Ferrisburgh, and one
horse from Silas Piper of Middlebury. He
pleaded not guilty on the charges of stealing
horse of Harvey Martin, of Ferrisburgh,
and horse of Z. c. Everest of Vergennes in
Sept. last. After examination, he was held to
bail on the four several complaints On the
first two complaints, 800 each, and on
the last two. $500 each; being 81, 400 in
the whole. The horses were all found in
Blackstone, Mass, which was Carriers
former home. lie confessed that he stole a
horse, buggy and harness, last fall, from
Hon. 5. NJ. Dorr, and another from John
Cain, both of Rutland, and that he took
this property also to Blackstone, where
both horses have since died. The carriages
and harnesses, however. have been found
and recovered. Carter was committed to
Jail, in default of bali, to await his trial in
June. His arrest and the recovery of the
stolen property, is mainly due to the Wig

Messrs. Everest and Booth

SECRETARY FRENCH AND HIS ARITHMETIcs.
Mr. Camp, Of the Newport Express. who
was manber of the last Board of Educa-
ton. thus tells the plain truth about Secre
tary French and his arithmeties
On every arithmetic purchased We are
paying a small copyright. We had Sec
rotary who we believed was an earnest,
through worker, man of experience and
culture, giving his time and energy to the
improvement of our schools and doing an
excellent work. This, We believe, is the
verdict of the people unbiased. His salary
has never been commensurate with the
talent and labor devoted to the work. lie
has small copyright on his arithmeticss
sold All other things being equal, and
his book Just as good, if no better, We
thought it no breach of duty, no indication
Of venality, to allow that copyright TO
citizen who was deyoting his life to the
highest service of our State, rather than to
the citizen Of another State, who has no
interest in US save to secure our money.
We do not attempt any yindication OF the
Secretary he needs none. Nor OF the
Board Of Education. Their acts are open
to public criticism. But we do object to
any officer like the Secretary being ar
raigned without shadow of proof and
charged with such offences in the public
prints. 1t is not right.

The house of Willard Sumner, of Sears
burg, had narrow escape, recently, from
being burned. \ daughter of Mr.. 5. re
turned from a party, late Saturday evening
and being very tired on retiring, fell
asleep without putting out the candle. She
awoke in the morning with q sense of suf-
location, and, as soon as she could get her
breath, she gave the alarm of fire, and there
being plenty of help in the house, the
flames were soon extingushed. 1t seems
the candle fell over near a bandbox, in
which were ribbons, etc, and that took fire
and burned to ashes, together with other
things lying near; the flames then caught
in bedquilt hanging at the head of her
bed, which was burned, and also portion
of her pillow.
