FOSTER RE-sENTENoED. Foster, the
car-hook murderer, was sentenced by
Judge Ingraham, Friday forenoon, to be
executed on Friday the 18th day of
March. The prisoner appeared detected
and worn, and during the delivery of
the dreadful words of the judge con-
demning him to death six weeks hence,
he bowed his head and pressed his white
lips together with painful frmness.
His only reply to the question why sent
ence should not be pronounced on him
81 did not mean to kill MIR Putnam"
was said in a broken though clear
voice, impressing all who heard it that
if there was ever a penitent criminal, he
is one. On the bench, by the side of
Judge Ingraham, were his associate
Judges, Brady and Learned. The court
room was crowded with promident law
yers and court attaches, and a few of
the outside public who always manage
to get in at a scene like this. After the
sentence Foster was taken back to the
Tombs in close carriage and put in the
condemned cell next to that of Stokes,
which had been prepared for him and
has no no longer any of those personal
comforts which he has enjoyed during
his long Imprisonment. He has previ-
ously occupied a condemned cell on the
two occasions when under the sentence
of death, and removed after the stay of
proceedings. There is supposed to be
no chance of removal now until his exc
cution, as Governor Dix is said to be de
termined not to interfere He entered
the cell hurriedly after his arrival at the
prison, closed the inner door and has re-
fused to see any one.

Christian Sabbath schools and the Chris
tan educators, as preventing agencies.
We submit the facts, in the belief that
if, in some things, Vermont falls in the
rear of some States in the great enter
prise of true prison reform, it is not by
reason of the lack either of eyes to per-
ceive her deficiencies, or the head to find
remedies for them, or the heart to press
the application, in the due time, unto
the successful issue. Vermont may be
in the rear, but she is not asleepi

How HORSE REASONS. A CORE
ponpent of Our Dumb animals, writes !:
''For the last two years | have driven
my mare nearly every day over the same
road. About one mile from my house
are two roads-one leading to the church
the other leading to the depot. Now six
days in the week | drive to the cars, and
on Sunday to church. At the point
where these roads separate | give my
mare her head, leaving her free to
make her choice and on week days
she S, VIII go straight to the depot, and on
sundays she goes of her own free will
to the church; / never knew her to fail
me yet
1t puzzled me for long time to learn
how she should know any difference in
days and have come to the conclusion
that she reasons from facts-facfs con
nected with every day life. On week
days start from my stable in two
wheel carriage, on Sundays start from
my house in carryall, thus making an
entire change both in time, place and car
riage; and from these facts she must be
guided in her choice of roads"

SHAW IN SALEM SAIL.-Charles Shaw
was received at Salem Jail Friday
afternoon and placed in a secure cell
His demeanor continues Just the same as
it has been since his arrest. At times he
is reticent, and will scarcely answer those
who address him; upon other occasions
his tongue loosens, and with fervor and
incoherence he asservates his innocence
of the crime whereof he is charged.
His moral nature is so blunted that he
does not realize that there is anything
wrong in the poisoning. Although three
lives have been sacrificed by the crime,
Shaw's chief regret is the fact that he
has got into trouble and has been ar
rested.

RAILROAD MEN IN THE SENArn.-Nr
Dorsey, the Senator-elect from Arkansas,
is president of the Arkansas Central
railroad. Patterson, Senator-elect from
South Carolina, is successful railroad
man. Jones, the successor of Nye, is
said to be successful mining and rail
road operator The new Senator from
Oregon is railroad king. We do not
know how it is with Bogy, but it looks
very much as if the railroad power was
looming up pretty significantly in the
Senate chamber.

REV. Mr., TUxBURY AT BR RNARDsroN.
The pupils of Powers In stitute and
citizens of Berrardston, Mass, enjoyed
a rich treat Monday evening, January

by Rev. Franklin Tuxbury, of Brandon,

The address was replete with glowing

find him very interesting, instructive
and eloquent speaker. 5.

From ssstick's'' Scrap Book-l
Dream of n yyamaerer.
BY FRANCIS DAVIS.

/ looked upon the ocean,
And / looked upon the strand;
/ looked upon the heaven
That o'erhung the strangers land;
But the brilliant blue was waiting,
And the robe of many dyes,
That each sea-sprung vale displayeth
Where my native mountains rise.
And the waves like war-like spirits,
In their dark, glistoning shrouds,
Rose and flung their silver helmets
In the pathway of the CLOUDS;
But the breeze of bracing freshness,
That my fevered frame dlu seek,
In an icy odor only
Wantoned DER my wasted cheek.
And / found me,
As around me
lung the elemental roar,
Hear tstfieken
And fOrSaken,
ON a sterile, stranger shore.
But a soothing angel lowered
BY the darkly writing main,
And on dreamy piniOns bore me
To my native isle again.
Oh, the sweetness and the brightness
OF her meadows and her r1llS,
And the rainbow tinge of beauty
That was sleeping on her hills,
AS the rosy lip of morning,
In the ripeness of its sheen,
Burst, and rolled golden current
Ger the glistening, dancing green:
Where the little shamrock shaded,
Stem and leaf, from human sight,
Underneath the hoary crystal
OF a chastened autumn night;
While the breeZes
Wooed the daises.
With a heaven in their tone;
And the fountains
On the mOntainS,
All in ruddied silver shone.
How Ieaped upon those mountains!
How l gaZed upon that sky
Till my very spirit revealed
Through a galaxy of joy;
But the beautious visions fading
To a scene of darker hne;
And the ocean strand of strangers
Burst again upon my view;
And the mountain pillows marshaled
In their merry might advance;
How | trembled as the gambOlled
In their fearful foamy dance!
What tears of burning bitterness
What frenzied words [ spoke
MY home-my home, all, heaven
And thus weeping l awoke,
But / found me,
AS around me
Waved the taWny autumn'S pride,
Mid the pleasures,
Yea, the treasures,
OF my native Lagan side!

A MISPLACED SWITCH Conductor
Clark's train over the Troy & Boston
road Saturday morning was about thirty
minutes late when it arrived in Troy.
As it was passing the branch track of
the Rensselaer, & Saratoga road just be
low Jacob street, the switch was turned
so that it sent the train off on the branch
instead of going down the main track.
There was a freight car standing on the
the track and the passenger train came
IN collision with it, the shock causing
considerable fright among the passen-
gers for few moments. The platform
of the baggage car was smashed, the en-
CINE slightly damaged and one freight
car thrown from the track. George NJ.
Cannon, the news agent, who was stand
ing on the platform at the time of the
accident, was somewhat seriously injur-
ed. No other person was hurt.

STATE FAIR.-At the meeting of the
directors of the State Agricultural So
city, held here last week, a very liberal
list of premiums was offered, and pro-
position to reduce the herd premiums
from $50 to S25, was voted down by a
large majority.
1t is understood that James Wick of
Rochester, n. Y, the celebrated Florist
will make a large exhibition in the
Floral Hall, and offer liberal special
premiums for flowers grown in the State
from seeds procured of him. This fea-
ture of the exhibition will be a very at
tractive one. 1t is, also, contemplated
to make arrangements with the Vermont
Dairymens Association for special eX-
hibition of butter and cheese at the Fair,
to be under the auspices of the Dairy
mems Association.

SAVE THE PER CENT.-The tax payers
who propose to save the four per cent.

readiness to take all the little change a
man has laying around loose in his peck
ct which may be needful to render unto
Caesar the things which Caesar demands.
There is little good in trying to dodge
the tax gatherer, and if we don't pay
him before February, he viii be pretty
sure to put in an unwelcome appearance
soon after that date.

RAILROAD SURyEY.-The Courier saws:
It is proposed to assess the people of
Rutland and of Montpelier two per cent.
on the grand list for the survey of the
Montpelier and Rutland railroad, with
branch to Bethel; and the other towns
on the route four per cent. The two
first towns may be the most benefited,
yet Montpelier has done literally for the
Wells River road and the survey of the
Black River road to Troy or Newport,
Rutland has also contributed literally
towards the survey made to Woodstock,
and the same survey is still good to
Slab City" in Chittenden, if not to the
Summit.

THE BANKRUPTCY LAVA bill abol-
ishing the United States Bankruptcy
law has recently passen the House of
Representatives, and will, it is thought,
be likely to meet the approval of the
Senate. The Bankrupt law has been in
operation since 1867, and about 1000 pc
titions have been filed under it taking
the benefit of its provisions. Should it
be done away with, the United States
District Court Judges will be relieved of
much of their business, and will have
more time to attend to admiralty and
equity cases and criminal matters.
Bankruptcy proceedings will then lie
taken under the State laws, and win be
governed by the laws of the several
States.

KEEPS HIS WORD.-Sam Lucas, the
convict who escaped from the Jail in
Bennington on Thursday night of last
week. is an experienced hand" to get
free. The evening before his escape
two citizens accompanied the jailor to
the Jail, as he carried the felon his sup
per, when Lucas expressed to them very
emphatically that he should make his
escape that night, and they had better
look ont for him :" But little attention
was paid to the remark by the jailer, as
he supposed everything to be secure.
Accordingly he manacled the prisoner
and left the Jail. In the morning 1t was
found that Lucas had made his words
true and his escape, but left his coat
and hat in the jail; consequently he
must be making an uneasy flight, but
probably with his shrewdness, he is
supplied with those necessary articles of
wearing apparel ere this.
