mreA Washington special says that
Attorney G Gcneral Williams received on
The o5th, letter from Montgomery, Ala
bama, saying that in consequence OF
heavy rains and the destruction of the
cotton crops by the army worm, great
destitution exists in several counties, es-
pecially in Sumpter and Marengo. In
some places there is actual starvation,
and unless help is. rendered during the
Winter months many persons must per-
ish for want of food.
1lr The Anderson Intelligencer says:
"The relatives of John Gilstrap, Ia MEM
ber of one of the South Carolina regi'
ments, who was killed at the battle of
Fair Oaks or Seven Pines,) can obtain
valuable information by corresponding
with Rev. Nathan B. Durell, Box 255,
Norristown, Montgomery county, Pa,
or with j. S. NJ Smith, Timmonsville,
S. c.. If we remember correctly, the de-
ceased hailed from Pickens county, and
was member of the Fourth Regiment,

Gs- The Presidential expenses and
salary now cost the country the round
sum of $l27 ,OOc-expenses $77, $50, salary
$5O,OOO. A question now under consid-
Grafton by the people runs thus: Does
the country get an equitable return from
this outlay.
s- Mrs Judy Golf, an old lady of
sixty-two years, living near Milledge'
Vile, with her husband, upon some land
owned by Thomas Harris, was shot in
terrible manner by the latter, who had
quarreled with them about some work.
Mrs Goff was riddled with shot while
standing III her front door, and her re-
covery is doubtful. Harris, who is about
10 years old. is i'll Jail.
sSy The arrival of Prince Bismarck at
Vienna, where Emperor William is now
the guest of Emperor Francis Joseph,
has already given birth to all sorts OF
rumors. The runlors may be we'll or Ill
founded, but it is certain that Bismarck
IS still the man on whose shoulders the
imperial German editice rests. He built
it. He still supports it. Germany is
not fairly on her legs, and without Bis
marck it is difficult to see how she would
get along.

last winter proved that such course

WEST RANDoLPH.-The following
story is told by correspondent of the
Freemen, of Conductor Pierce of the
Central Vermont:
Talking of West Randolph we are re-
minded of a remark that Conductor
Pierce made one day to an inquiring
passenger. Conductor Pierce's extreme
volubility is know to every one who has
travelled from Mortified south since the
Central was built. The passenger was
struck with the business-like appearance
of. the town and the clean look of the
village generally and turning to Con-
ductor Pierce asked him what was the
population of the place. Pierce, waving
his hand at the usual crowd present on
the arrival of the train, answered in the
longest speech ever known to have been
made by him at one time; DON'T
know; count 'em."
This yarn about Elbridge" is not
half so good as another we recently
heard of him. Soon after leaving Wood
stock one day he discovered an extreme
ly inebriated Individual on his train
and asked him for his ticket. Hadn't
got any," replied "Tipsy." Where are
you going p asked Pierce, "To HI
hiccoughed the chap. "Then give me
quarter and get off at West Hart
ford" said the taciturn conductor. The
folks at that station were very Indignant
when they heard of the remark.-Bu'
ington Free Press.

We will append another though i
may have been in print before. 1t wa

Attempted Suicide by Shooting.

Charles Griffin, Of North Hartland,
shot himself four times through the
breast, last Saturday afternoon, at about
4 o'clock, at White River Junction. He
had built house, expecting Miss
Stoughton of Royalton, to marry him.
She had put him off from time to time,
and on Saturday, he met her with anoth-
er man, at the Junction, and when he
spoke to her, she told him that she never
wanted anything more to do with him,
and left him. After she had gone few
feet, he drew revolver and shot him
self.
He was alive up to Wednesday Of this
week, with some chance of recovery,
though his case is deemed very doubtful,
especially if very warm weather prevails.
One ball went through the lungs, and all
four entered his breast, within space Of
three inches and above the heart. Young
Griffin, we understand, was mason by
trade, had fair education and bad re
| Gently attended the commercial college
at Poughkeepsie, n Y. Miss Stoughtou's
friends claim that she had given no such
encouragement to his attentions as he
claims, and it seems to be understood
| that her parents were most decisive anC
determined in opposition TO his suit. Or
the other hand his friends say that BIZ
had kept company with her for a yeal
by her own consent. Since he shot him
self she has desired TO see him, but W
to Wednesday had not been allowed Il
do so. A train Of freight cars was be
tween them at the time Of the shooting
and hearing pistol reports she STOPPED
and looking under a car saw what h
had done. He continued to fire at him
self standing and did not fall till tn
fourth shot For the first twenty-fou
hours after the shooting he was deter
mined in his wish to die, saying he woult
destroy himself, if he ever recovered
but has since repented of his folly anc
now desires to recover.
