CRAzED.-T. B. Kelley, better known,
as "Bent Kelley" has been residing at
West Rutland for some time, and con-
nected, we believe, in some way in the
working of one of the marble quarries,
as foreman or otherwise. His strange
actions, on Tuesday, attracted some at
tention, but there being nothing further
in ttem than could ordinarily be ascribed
to oddly, no especial notice was taken
thereof. The popularity in his demeanor
increased, from day to day, until, finally,
his friends came reluctantly to the con-
clusion that he was insane. Friday he
was violent and dangerous maniac, and,
early the next morning DR.. Thomas H.
Cochran, of West Rutland, was called
in as medical adviser. The appearance
of Dr. Cochran, instead of pacifying and
quoting the man, only increased the
paroXysms of his mania and he, at once,
made vigorous and violent attack upon
the doctor. He literally flew at DR..
Cochran and, with his clenched firsts,
planted telling blow in his face, stag
gering him back and bruising and cut
ting his face, near the mouth, so that
the blood flowed somewhat freely. DR..
Cochran, we learn, was not the only re-
cipient of his attentions, as similar vio-
lent assaults were made upon other par
parties. But the attack on the doctor
was the eliminating act, and it was
deemed advisable that he should be
placed under immediate and forcible re-
straint. Therefore, before he could re-
new the attack on DIR. Cochran and take
| further advantage OF the unexpected as
sault, he was secured, assistance pro-
cured from this village, and he was
brought to Rutland and lodged in jail
for safe keeping, shouting, in the mean
while. get down on your knees at
twelve o'clock" This shout he kept up,
with more or less frequency and with
varying intonations of the voice, during
Saturday night and the day, yesterday,
indicating, to some extent, the nature and
cause of his arrangement. Late yester-
| day afternoon he was placed in straight
jacket, taken in charge by his friends
and removed, we understand, to the resi-
dence Of his father-in-law.

A Boy MURDERER. The Essex coun-
to On. Y. Republican gives an account
of horrid murder, perpretrated by
boy but thirteen years of age, at Lewis
in that county. The boy whose name is
Manly Britt, was living with Mr.. Ran
som Williams, who was away from
home at the time of the deed. Mrs.
Williams ordered the boy to cut some
stove wood, and, on his demurring,
threatened to tell her husband on his re-
turn. Manly went out and got his ax
and commenced sharpening it with a
milestone. He soon called her atten-
ton to some object in. the room and
while bending forward to see what he
referred to, the hoy dealt her a heavy
blow on the back of the head and neck,
from the effects of which she died in a
few days. He escaped bnt was after
wards captured, and is now in Jail. The
bereayed husband is nearly crazy.

AN OLD CoUPLE.-On Friday, Feb.
218t, a number of friends and relatives
assembled at the residence of John Pres
ton, of Middletown, to assist at the Cele-
bration of the sixtieth anniversary of
the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Preston.
But one person, besides the aged couple
themselves, was present who saw the
original wedding, a Mrs. Whiting, sister
of Mrs. Preston. A letter was received
from relatives in Franklin, VT, Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Preston Odds, themselves well on
toward the scar and yellow leaf. An
old tea-kettle, which did service on the
occasion of the marriage, was brought
into use again and sung songs of family
glee as it has done for three-scOre years.
The ceremonies included feast and the
reading of congratulatory letters and a
hymn for the occasion. Mr.. and Mrs.
Preston are in cheerful spirits, on the
best of terms with their neighbors, and
hope for many more years of conjugal
bliss May they enjoy it.

TURNING AN HONEST PENNY.-Certain
impecunious Congressman who voted
for the increase of salaries, and whom
their constituents neglected to return,
have offered their quota of agricultural
reports and other public documents for
sale at fifty cents per volume, rather
than send them to an ungrateful con-
stituency.

victory in the charter election last Tues

knows that it has been beaten, and each
cheerfully congratulates itself and its

If Mr.. Cain refers to us he is greatly

Hewitt's case against him, have had
nothing to say about it to any one, and

AN lMPOsTER.-A one-armed man,
claiming to be a soldier, and exhibiting
a paper bearing the names Of several
prominent men connected with the old
Vermont regiments during the late war,
visited various places in Brattleboro on
Tuesday, and gathered quite sum of
money, which he spent freely at the
BrattlebOro House. About midnight, it
is said, he was forcibly elected from
that house, and was shortly afterward
found lying on the railroad track near
the depot, in stupefed and half frozen
condition. The Record says: Son
Thursday w. A. Morey, the proprietor
of the Brattleboro House, was before
Justice Newton, the case eliciting con-
siderable interest. 1t was brought in
consequence of alleged ill-treatment of
the one-armed ''dead beat" Murray, who
managed to secure o few dollars from
various persons in the village, which, as
Murray says, was either spent or taken
from him at the Brattleboro House, he
not knowing which, and appearing to
have a remarkably deficient memory.
Much evidence was introduced during
the afternoon, and arriving at no salts
factory conclusions, the case was adj
journed until Saturday. In the mean
time, the scapegrace, Murray, is again
let loose upon the public. All persons
are cautioned to invest their money to
better advantage than to replenish his
pockets for another drunk"

SENATOR FROM ALABAMA. Geo.
E. Spencer was sworn and took his
seat as United States Senator from Ala
bama, on Friday. This is as it should
be. Whether he was duly elected or
not, he had the proper credentials.
signed by the Governor under the broad
seal of the State. This gave him a
pa-inaG .fac5e right to his seat, and the con-
test must be decided hereafter. The
difficulty with the Louisiana contestants
is that each have regular credentials,
but signed by different persons, each
claiming to be Governor, and, hence,
neither has a claim to seat over the
other so far as their paper evidence is
concerned. When the question of who
is Governor is finally determined, the
Senatorial case will be easily disposed of.

the most interesting and dramatic, perhaps,
