Murder In Walden.

As sit in the study of Rev. J. 8. Little
of Danville, this Sabbath eve, June 2stn'
there has passed the door in the custody Of
the Sheriff. a man in irons on his way to the
County Jail in ST. Johnsbury, and now passes
a wagon carrying a corpse, and on IN.
quiry, the following facts concerning this SAD
scene are obtained.
John Stanton, peddler, belonging in
Newbury, called at the house OF james
Saow of Walden, near Coles Pond. Ihe
latter b ing then, as he had been for several
days previous, in state Of partial into1ica
ton and very cross, ordered Stanton away in
very peremptory manner. Stanton re-
turned to the highway, and answered back
" saucily," that he was in the highway and
would not 4" clear out for such little runt
as he," upon which Srow said he would see,
and went into the house and returning with
gun in his hand, pointed it at Stanton.
Stanton cried out don't fire" and raised
his hand, at the same time STOPPING to lit
his whip but Snow fred Immediately
lodging 40 shot in Stanton's face and head.
The wound proved mortal, the man falling
across the dasher, bespattering the wagon
and the extremities of the horse with blood.
Snow, seeing his victim was killed, pulled
the body from the wagon and laid it by the
wayside, and ordered his wife to 20 and
inform the neighbors that he had killed a
man, and going into the house sat down,
making no effort to escape till he was
arrested. The murder was committed
about o'clock, and the body lay by the
wayside till seven. AS Snow was passing
through this village, l am infor med that he
excl aimed, Snow never murdered Stanton
1T acas rum that cid it, This is the old
story over again for the thousandth time
Freemen of Vermont, how long will you rest
on your beds, allowing the rum-vender, with
the possibility not to say probability of i'm
punity, to thus prepare their victims for
such deeds of horror. N.
Snow had his examination at St Johns
bury Monday, and was committed to Jail to
await his trial. No defense was Offered, and
Shows admissions show the killing was
without provocation. Snow is worthless,
drunken character, but has worthy family.

through the summer at $l2 per month, but
at the expiration of his term OF service you

you could not be compelled by a court to pay

But could you as an honest man turn him

LACK OF NERVE.
Why is it that men who voted for and re-
ceived back pay in 1856. and in 1866, now
refuse to DO the same thing? l answer that
the Credit Mobilier investigation of last win
ter so diseased the public mind. and pro-
duced such morbid public morality, that
things which are perfectly right are regarded
as wrong; and these men lack the nerve to
face a storm even in defense of a principle.
Henry Wilson and Gen. Farnsworth, and
others who voted for back pay in former
years, and received it from the Treasury, are
now claiming popular appreciation for not
doing precisely what they had done before
If it is larceny. or a lesser wrong, to re-
ceive back pay for services IN the Forty
second Congress, which these men admit by
refusing it, then it was larceny, or lesser
wrong for the same men to receive back pay
in 1866. Washington left the impress of
his character upon his own and succeeding
generations. Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton
and others gave an impulse to public
thought. and gave a standard of public viz
tue under which we have grown to be a
great and happy people. But it was left to
Cakes Ames to lift the standard of public
virtue clean out of mortal reach and clean
out of human sight. Things which viewed
in the light of our Saviour's teachings, and
estimated by the standard of Christian NOR
ality, are as harmless as the cooings of a
dove ARE larcenies, mortal sinA, in the light of
1873, and estimated by the standard OF alarm
and fright created by Cakes Ames and the
Credit Mobilier Investigation. Earthquakes
come and storms sometimes rage;
but the earth will not always rock nor the
rains always fall and We may hope that
the present sore, tidgety, sickly morality will
some time give place to the manly and
healthy virtue taught by the Master of
Nazareth.

COMMENCEMENT WEEK The last of June
may now be said to have taken it's place as
the regular commencement time of American
colleges. The tendency for some years has
been to make this season the one set apart
Tor that purpose, and yearly other colleges
are falling into line in this respect. The
present season is marked by the address of
Mr.. Z. f. Adams at Hartford, and by the
prominent place taken in public attention by
the exercises at Cornell and the institutions
which are thought to contain more OF the
progressive element of the age.

VERMONT VALLEY RAILRoAD-This road
lying between Bellows Falls and Brattleboro,
Is in the possession of the trustees of its
bonded debt of half million dollars. These
trustees leased it to the Rutland road, and
10 turn the Rutland road leased it to the
Central. The lease has two years more to
run by its terms. The debt which the trus
tees represent, has matured. and the money
is ready to pay it. The stockholders of the
road want it back, claiming that the trustees
have no right to lease the road beyond The
maturity of the debt. The directors, who
are IN the interest of the lease, postponed
the yearly meeting of stockholders from
June to December, under bylaw Some
of the stockhol iers object, and the president
of the road agreeing with them, called a
meeting of the stockholders at the usual
time, June 81, at Bellows Falls. A ma
Jority of the stockholders are in the intere
OF the Connecticut river road, which is an
tagunistc to the Central, and this is the Sc
cret of the contest No doubt About three
ftths of the stock is said to have been repre-
sented at the Bellows Falls meeting, but the
meeting was prevented from electing new
board of directors by temporary injunc-
ton granted by the chancellor, and adjourned
without action to July 81.
