to Correct


The State Fair was the occasion OF
mighty gathering of the people at Rut-
land during the past week. This IS the
twenty-third year since the State Agrl-
cultural Society was formed and held its
first fair in Middlebury. Many of those
who were most active in its formation
have passed away Among these, well
remember Julius A. Beckwith OF Mid
dlebury, one of the noble specimens OF
humanity to be found9in this world. he
threw his whole soul into the enterprise
and, with others of like energy, made IL
success. From year TO year the FAR a.
has been held in different parts OF the
State. 1t is we'll that opportunities
should be afforded for the people to as
semble and display the fruits OF the
field. with fine cattle and horses, and
sheep, with which our good State
abounds. Associated with these, also, is
the exhibition of mechanical skill, the
display of beautiful flowers, the fruits
of the orchard and vine, and the needle
work of the mothers and daughters OF
the Green Mountain State. All these
were calculated to excite spirit OF
emulation and result in great and sub.

EDITOR RUTLAND HERALD -
Your quondam correspondent has been

a miss, venture to scribble few lines.
To one born and reared among the

to this place is quite different from what
it would be to some other Eastern State.
Cory is place of some 5000 inhabi-

good buildings as place of slower and
steadier growth, still there are some nice
buildings, and the stately brick block

side.

OF churches there is goodly number
each one disperDing from its pulpit its
particular creed, but the people here DC
not seem to be much given to church
going and do not observe the Sabbath az
YOU do in Vermont. One reason per-
haps is the trains upon the railroads run

upon week days, and the progress ant
songs of the sanctuary mingle with tn

An Atrocious Affair at 81. Adams.
A PROBABLE ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY, AND
A MURDERoUS ASSAULT.

One of the most shocking affairs that
has occurred in st. Adams for many
years, took place at an early hour Sun
day morning, at the residence of Hon.
Joseph a. Brainerd, over the hill, east
of Governor Smiths. AS it has already
become subject of general town talk,
and many different accounts of the oc-
currence are in circulation, we shall en-
deavor to give the true version of the
matter as gathered from trustworthy
sources. s.s.. a.Iyv L T.
Shortly after one o'clock yesterday
morning, Mr.. Brainerd's daughter, Fam
ME, an estimable young lady who is be-
loved by all who know her, was awak-
ened by noise apparently proceeding
from the cellar; but apparently hearing
no repetition of it she sank into slum-

| baby about two o'clock, she made the
startling discovery that her head had
been fearfully cut and blood was flow
ing profusely from the wounds. ARGUS.
ing the family, the dreadful nature of
the occurrence was at once made mani

sent for. He came without delay, and

attended to, and she was otherwise made
as comfortable as possible, and retained
her consciousness. From the concre-
ton of the blood, the doctor supposes

origin of Names of states.

There is much that is interesting in
study of the origin of the names of
states of the Union, as they are derived
from a variety of sources. To begin i'll
the geographical order, we first have
Maine, which takes its name from the
province of Maine, In France, and was
so called in compliment to the Queen of
Charles l, Henrietta, its owner.
New Hampshire-first called Laconia
from Hampshire, England.
Vermont, from the Green Mountains,

age, signifying "The country about the

fancied resemblance of the island to
that of Rhodes, in the ancient Leyant.
Connecticut's name was Mohegan,
spelled originally, Quou-eh-ta-cut, signi-
flying "A long river.
New York was so named as cOmpli-
ment to the Duke of York, whose
brother, Charles II, granted him that
territory.
New Jersey was named l,y one of its
original proprietors, Sir George Carter,
after the island of Jersey, in the British
channel, of which he was governor.
Pennsylvania, as is originally known.
takes its name from William Penn, the
word |'sylvania, meaning woods.

Mississippi derives its name from that
of the great river, which is in the Nat
chez tongue, 1.-THE Father of Waters
Louisiana was so named in honor OF
Louis XIV.
Arkansas is derived from the Indian
word Kansas, smoky water, with tho
French prefix of ark. "a bow"
Tennessee is an Indian name, mean
ing "The river with big bend.
Kentucky also is an Indian name,
aKaintuck-ee, signifying at the head OF
the river"
Ohio is the Shawnee name for The
/ Beautiful River.
Michigan's name was derived from th'
lake, tie Indian name for fish weir o.
trap, which the shape of the lake sug
! gested.
Indiana's name came from that of th'
Indians.
Illinois name is derived from the In
dian word ''illini, men, and the French
atfix. ''ois," making it Tribe of men. "
Wisconsin's name is said TO be the In
dian one for wild, rushing channel.
Missouri is also an Indian name TO
muddy, having reference to the Missouri

Kansas is the Indian word for smok.
water.

h. The nature of the wounds indicate
that the weapon used by the assassin was
either club with knotted end, or a
hammer, but of course there is no GER
tain evidence about it. All of the wounds
three in number-Were made in the
right frontal region, and one of the was
terrible one; the others were less seri-
ours. We are happy to learn that Miss
Brainerd is now considered out of dan
ger, though at first her injuries threaten
ed serious consequences.
as to the motive for this murderous
deed, several theories are advanced. The
more probable and reasonable one is,
that the assassin entered the house for
purposes of plumber; that the young
lady may have alarmed him by her APP
parent restlessness. and thinking he would
be discovered, he made the brutal at
tack ia The manner already detailed
and surprising that he had killed his vic
tim. he became frightened and left the
house without effecting his object, as a
gold watch and sum of money in the
room was untouched, and there is moth
ing missing from the premises. The
prints of human feet as of those of
man wearing his stockings only, were
discovered in the sand in the cellar and
near the cellar entrance outside. The
outer entrance was found closed, but
| not locked while the door leading to
| the cellar from the room above was
found open. These circumstances lead
| to the conclusion that the ruffian made
his entry and exit by the same route.
| SO far as we can learn, there is no clue
to his identity but we trust that the
william may not escape, and that we may
soon have the privilege of recording his
arrest. The affair has created much ex-
element throughout the community !;
and our people viii act wisely if they
take all needed precautions against sim
liar visitations. AlbGnS Messenger.
