MoNTPELIER-THE CLARK-ATKINs AF-
FAIR.-The trial of Hiram Atkins, edl-
tor of the argus and Patriot, charged
with committing breach of the peace
in company with Postmaster John w.
Clark, on the Goth ult., came off before
Justice Robinson in the Village Hall,
Montpelier, Thursday, April II, and re-
suited in the acquittal of the respondent.
The evidence was voluminous, but went
clearly to show that Atkins was not the
aggressor, in fact that he acted wholly
in self defense. The following. bearing
some impress of his style, is reported to
be a portion of his account of the affair: !:
In regard to my wounds | had a mark
on nv nose, and a scratch on my neck,
and | was kicked right in the pelyis bone,
and it was little tender where he had
hold of my hair. / went right into my
office, and took wet rag and laid it on

Clark testified in his evidence that he
was not materially injured in the fight.
The hearing on the complaint against
him was set for Thursday, the Gath.

BRIGGs' BLESSING. 6.--Thomas Briggs,
asserts the Detroit Free Press, has boy
baby about ten months old, who is ad.
mitted at the beginning OF this article to
look Just like his father, and to be the
smartest boy-baby of his age in Detroit.
The other morning the child was sitting
on the floor, playing with five or six big
coat buttons on string, and taking an
occasional nibble at an apple to bring out
his first crop OF teeth. Mrs. Briggs and
neighbor were talking away as only
women can gossip, when the baby hid
the buttons under mat and started to
finish the apple. A bit of the skin got
in his throat, and he gave cough and a
whoop and paved the air and rolled over
on his head. 'Oh, them buttons! he
has swallowed them buttonsw cried the
mother, as she yanked him up and shook
him. Pound him on the back!' yelled
the other woman, trying to hold tie
babys legs still. Run for the neigh.
bors," cried Mrs. Briggs" "Oh, he'll
die! he'll die!" screamed the other, as
she ran out. And the neighbors came in
and made him lie on his stomach and
cough, and then turned him on his back
and rubbed his stomach, and joggled hin
about all sorts of ways, until he got mad
and went bowling. Then boy ran fol

buttons were lodged in the baby s throat
because he was red in the face, and be
cause he strsngled as he howled AM

he hadn't done anything to deserve sue

her that she was the daugher Of God, se-
lected to suffer for the redemption of her
sex. in the same way as Christ suffered
Tor the other. Immediately after this
revelation she gave up eating meat and
drinking brandy. and prepared herself
for her mission. The Holy Ghost then
possessed her. and gave her the power
to work wonders with mere word. She
pretends to be able to resurrect even the
dead, BY simply touching them, and SO
strong is the faith Of the ignorant masses
in this new prophecies, that the prison
to which she has been consigned by the
authorities has become place of pill
grimage for thousands. The sick are
brought from distant localities to receive
the assistance Of the inspired woman,
and the keepers receive large bribes for
PERMISSION to see her. Every day new
stories Of her extraordinary powers are
circulated far and wide.
