George Alfred townsend on stokes.

Nothing made Stokes happen in upon
men like Fisk and Gould but handsome
face, which led him to be fast and for
ward, and require money all the time TO
meet his extravagant way of life. The
loss of his wife, who left him to go
abroad, wrote no wrinkle on bis azure
brow for he lacked sensibilities, and
grew old without cares. Fisk's gross
nature and unfaithfulness placed the in
sinuating Stokes in the confidence of
Mansfield, and she pleaded the needs
and deserts of this doubly false one upon
their common dupe. When the scales
fell from Jim Fisk's eyes, he crushed
the boy whom he had somewhat be-
friended Then followed law breaking,
resentment and revenge. The mighty
peddler died in the same square, and
made as much mean commiseratlon, as
Bill Poole, seventeen years before. Who
that reads this tragedy over, and looks
into the surroundings of the parties,
would care to live in such society !?
I Fisk was scarcely dead before Gould
was seeking to appropriate the effects OF
| his widow, and she had not the respect
! for her husband to abate such corrupt
ing and suberned prosecution as he him
self might have waged If alive to do 1t.
| Heather existences In the midst of a sat

ployment in the cigar mandatory al

will be able to get out of prison by com
mutation in three years and six months.
Which, it may be remarked, is a great
deal better than hanging, after all 2 81

correspond with the severity OF his pun
ishment, (for only killing NAM please

hour or so day.
However, we have probably heard the
last of Stokes for some years. While
Mr.. Fisk can by no possibility recover
from the unhappy accident which
caused his death, let US hope that Mr..
Stokes will not find his imprisonment
for four years Improbable.

The London Papers -cn the 1ies-
sage.

The London Times, in leader on
President Grants message, says the eX-
cessive privileges in regard TO freedom
from search. claimed for vessels bear
ing the American flag, would confer
immunity on an open pirate. Such pre-
tensions are indeed short sighted for
mercantile nation. We cannot Tor
moment believe that congress will adopt
the suggestion to prohibit National
banks from paying interest on deposits.
We do not agree with the presidents u
nancial views generally, and think be Is
wrong in attributing the recent troubles
to the peculiar character of the eurren-
CIV. The advice to return to specie pay
ment would be more satisfactory IT the
president had told the country how TO
do it. The article praises the message
for its moderation of tone in general,
and the Cuban question in particular.
England will unreservedly support a
policy which requires that Spain must
really, as well as nominally control
Cuba
The Daily Nelo8 says the presidents
language concerning the Nirginius affair
is moderate and dignified.
The Daily Telegraph sees in the de-
mand for the abolition of slavery in Gu
ba, a menace which will greatly increase
the difficulties of Castelar's situation.
The Standard thinks the only result

THE WATERBURY BRIDGE GONE AGAIN.

THE WATERBURY BRIDGE GONE AGAIN.
"A portion of the Central Vermont
Railroad bridge over the WinOoski River
at Waterbury, was carried away yester-
day forenoon. The morning accommo-
dation train from Mortified passed over
it in safety, only a short time before.
The bridge here was burned some time
ago and an iron structure was in course
of erection. The temporary wooden
structure was used for travel as well as
for an aid in putting the iron bridge in
place. The iron was all saved, how
ever, and that in position ON the portion
that remains, is being removed. The
southern span was entirely carried off
and the middle enc badly damaged.
Timber is already en- route to erect a
temporary bridge.
During the interruption to travel,
caused by this disaster, all the through
freights or the road will go over the
Rutland Division and probably the
through express trains as well.

SERIOUS Injury to Young Man.
A FALL DOWN STAIRS IN A BLOCK on
MERCHANTS ROW - SUSPICIOUS CIR
CUMsTANCES OF THE CASE.

FALL DOWN STAIRS IN BLOCK ON
MERCHANTS ROW - SUSPICIOUS CIR
CUMsTANCEs OF THE CASE.
Yesterday morning the first Troy
train brought among other passengers a
tall and stalwart young man who regis
tered at the Bates house as j. Coyn,
Rome, n. Y, and was Just preparing
for bed when he was met by an acquaint-
ance from Port Henry, and two young
men from this town.
The party conyersed for few mo-
ments and then went Out-nominally to
get lunch at the depot. Finding the
restaurant shut, the party went north on
Merchants Row to a block said to have
one or more peculiar characters in the
top stories. The party went up stairs
and essayed to gain admittance but the
occupants did not readily agree to enter
tain so large party, and some parley
ensued, during which Coyn poised him
self on the banister Of the stair waiting
the event.
Either rendered careless by liquor, or
losing his balance by heedlessness, he
! fell backward down the stairway and
was picked up insensible by his conf
panions. The others of the party car
ried him into. the Bates House and sent
at once for DR.. J. A. Mead. Ii. .t...
Pending the arrival of the doctor it
was discovered that the back of his head
was shockingly cut open and bleeding
| profusely. He gave no sign of life for
/ some hours. AS soon as Dr.. Mead ar
rived Coyn was taken up stairs and sub
/ nitted to an examination On cutting
away the hair the doctor found diagon-
al cut about five inches in length, running
! from the crown nearly to the neck, but
| examination proved that the skull was
/ not fractured. ,>,....-,.. {. &. +:
| Up. to this writing the injured man
has not been conscious, though at times
he has been so restless as to require help

opinion that he will recover from the in

/ The account Of Coyn's injury, given
above, is the one his companions insist

4 er it is al all complete. There are grave
doubts as to whether he fell. down stairs
:, without the help of some other person.

COLLISION AT SEA.

All this week the country has been
Bhrouded in sadness, over the terrible
fate of the Vile du Hayre, and her pre-
cious freightage of human lives. 1t has
called forth the sympathy and sorrow
of two continents. This disaster strikes
new terror to such people as conten1-
plate taking sea voyage, and causes a
shudder to run along the nerves of those
who have safely passed over the dan
gers of old ocean, and been safely land
ed upon the other shore from which
they started. We all feel the risk we
are taking when we sail outsight of land
to cross the Atlantic. The dangers of
storms and fire are all terrible to con-
template; but when we add to that, the
rapid recurrence of steamers, being
rushed with full head upon the rocks of
a well known coast, or run down and
sunk in mid-ocean by other vessels on
their route across the waters, we feel

Iflove were what the rose Is,
And / were like the leaf,
Our lives would grow together
In sad or singing weather,
Brown fields or Powerful closes,
Green pleasure or gray grief;
If love were what the rose is,
And l were like the leaf.
If were what the words are
And love were like the tune,
With double sound and single,
Delight our lips would mingle,
With kisses glad as birds are,
That get sweet rain at noon;
If 1 were what the words are.
And love were like the tune.
Ifyou were life, my darling,
And 1, your love, were death,
We'd shine and snow together
Ere March made sweet the weather
With daffodil and starting,
And hours of fruitful breath
If fyou were life, my darling,
And 1, your love, were death.
If you were thrall to sorrow
And / were page to joy,
We'd play for lives and seasons,
With loving looks and treasons,
And tears of night and morrow,
And laughs of maid and boy:
If you were thrall to sorrow
And were page to joy.
If you were Aprirs lady,
And l were lord in May,
We'd throw with leaves for hours,
And draw for days with flowers,
Till day like night were shady,
And night were bright like day;
If you were April's lady,
And were lord in May.
If You were queen of pleasure,
And were king of pain,
We'd hunt down love together,
Pluck out his flying feather,
And teach his feet a measure,
And find his mouth a rein;
1fyou were queen OF pleasure,
And | were king of pain.

Kicked by "a Horse.
A MAN HAS HIS JAW ENTIRELY CRUSHED
BY HORSES FOOT

John Plumley received very painful
and rather serious injury yesterday, from
the kick of horse. 1t appears that the
animal was one which he had formerly
driven, aud was therefore well known
to him as a horse which had to be ham
died with care. The present driver of
the animal met Plumley yesterday, and
asked lin if he could take the harness
off without being kicked Plumley re-
piled that he could, and together they
proceeded to the stable, in the rear of
the HERALD office. Plumley at once
began the work of taking off the har-
ness. He took it off once and returned
it, and repeated the operation several
times without receiving any injury, al
though the animal kicked at him once.
The spirit OF bravado, however, car
ried him too far, and he took the har-
ness off just once too often. The last
time, after he had removed the harness,
and just before moving away, the ami
NAL raised both feet and struck him a
powerful blow directly on the chin,
crushing it to a jelly. DIR. Pond was at
once called, and dressed the wound.
Tie doctor, on examination, found that
the whole of the lower jaw was crushed
to pulp. The wound will not neces-
sarily prove fatal unless Inflammation
sets in at the root of the tongue. He
remained insensibie for some time after
the accident, breathing very heavily and
painfully, but at last accounts he was
more comfortable, and could understand
all that was said to him, but could not

vet written for their exclusive use:
Oh, come, my love, and live with me;
And keep my cottage in the glen.
As patient as the bumDle-bee,
As busy as a setting hen.

I'll celebrate the day with thee;
I'll nerrily dig the Bartlett pear.
And shake the ruta baga tree.
Oh, hump yourself, my lovely Poll,
And in the cause of anu-monop,
Wen mulch the turkeys in the Fall,
And graft the long clam on the hop.
NV sweetest! am fond of mush
And thou wilt set some out for me;
Wen early SOW the currant bush
And tap the cranberry-jely tree.
Wen pull the wool from off the calf,
The cottonwood its fleece shall shed,
So at the Winter will we laugh,
And gayly weed the oyster bed.
Wen blithely hoe the Winter wheat;
Wen chase the eggs the squirrels lay :;
And when the Bantam hog shall bleat
Wen feed him with some clover hay.

The Crane Defalcation.

DENIES THE CHARGES.


A letter from Mr.. Edward A. Jewett,
dated at Chicago, Dec. 1st, was received
by friend of his in Burlington on
Thursday. In this Mr.. Jewett says that
he had been thunderstruck on finding in
a Chicago morning paper a dispatch
stating that Collector Crane had been a
defaulter to the amount of ST., 900; and
that he, Jewett, was charged with hav-
ing embezzled the money. He goes on
to say that he never took dollar of the
governments money; that the charge
against him is beyond his comprehen-
sion; that his accounts were perfectly
straight" when he left Mr.. Crane, near
ly two years and half ago; that he
denies the charge in toto; and that he
desires an investigation, which will show
whether he is guilty or not. We give
Mr.. Jewett, as promptly as possible, the
benefit of this denial We take it that a
full investigation of this matter cannot
be long delayed, which we await with
the simple desire that truth and right
| may prevail.
