M. Editor: Sir Seeing notices in our
county paper about the shameful and dis
graceful affair which happened in this town
on the eve of July 18th, in which VIM.
Smith lost his life, it almost makes my
blood run cold to hear my friends and
townsmen speak of the affair. Many of
them speak of il as if it was nothing; as If
Crosier had done a noble act and did not
deserve punishment, &c. L am ashamed
of the affair as having happened in this
town, and ashamed of the officers having
the matter in charge. As for VIM. Smith,
have nothing to say. He was a human
him unless in self defence. They both
came home from Cutting Hollow where, as
the papers say, they freely imbibed. (By
the way, is there no way 10 prevent one
man dealing out death and destruction to
his fellow man?) They quarreled after
they got home. Smith being the stronger
man of the two, dragged Crosier out of
doors and threw him under the wagon.
which stood between the house and road.
Crosier followed Smith into the house
again. Smith took him and set hin in Il
chair and told him TO sit there or he would
Ego for him. Smith sat in a chair on the
opposite side of the stove in the same room.
The light being carried from the room Gro
sier reached for his gun, and as he said
himself, hit Smith where he aimed. The
papers say Crosier is a peaceable and law
abiding man, &c. For years, when Gro
sier has been drinking his weapon of de-
fence has been TO threaten to shoot some
one; and his family could tell of many n
line when they have been driven from the
house in fear Of their lives and taken shell
ter at a neighbor's for protection. I am,
and always was, a friend Of Crosier, and
would not have him punished any more
than to protect tho community from his
misdemeanors and as 4 lesson TO others
that they cannot commit the crime Of muir
der in our poaceahle community without
censure or punishment. If man breaks
the law let him suffer the penalty.

Court of this State, when but little over
thirty years of age. As q member of that
august and learned tribunal, he shone forth
as one of its most brilliant lights. AS a
presiding Judge Of the Windsor County
Court he was particularly conspicuous by
reason OF his quick apprehension of legal
points and his clear and logical manner or

of the State, one whose promise of honor
and usefulness was ahead Of all others of
his aye, man loved by the people and full

he might be called. His disea was con-

PERILOUS ADVENTURE OF y BALLOON
IsT.-Mr. Frank X. King of Boston, who
made balloon ascension from the La
noble val ey fair grounds at Morris town,
on the 4th, had perilous experience.
When about two and half miles up he
encountered snow storm, which covered
the balloon nearly an inch thick, and sent
it down rapidly. The balloon was seen by
several farmers when it 'nded, about for
ty-iiv minutes after 1t went up, and about
eight miles from where the ascent was
made. Not hearing anything from young
Kin e, party was organized and search
made. II is estimated that there were FIVE
hundred men in the forest AT nine o'clock
Sunday morning. The balloon was found
at about eleven o'clock, and young King
came out about the same time, having been
in the forest almost iorty-eight hours with
out any food. He was very much exhaust
ed from cold and hunger but uninjured,
although he sa.,s bear camc within few
feet of him Saturday night, snuifed around

through the valley for the safety OF the
young man, aud at his appearance there

The GooDRICH MYSTERY UNRAVELLED.
The mystery which has SO long shrouded
the death of Charles Goodrich in Brook
Ign, n. Y, has been unraveled at last
After long search, the mysterious woman
known as Kate Stoddard has been arrested
and has confessed that she killed him. She
said that she loved the deceased, and had
lived with him for more than year previ-
Gus to his death. He grew weary of her,
endeavored to cast her off, and ordered her
TO leave The house in Degraw-st. She re-
fused, and he then treated her brutally.
On the morning of Thursday, March 20,
finding that Goodrich was memorable, she
determined TO kill him. She had put his
revolver in her pocket, and while he was
STOPPING 10 build fire in the heater in the
basement, she called his name, and as he
looked up she shot him. lie fell, and she
fired two more shots, all three taking eff
feet in the head, and causing almost instant
death. She then washed the blood from
the corpse, remained in the house all day,
and on the following morning went to New
York. During her absence the murder
was discovered. The murderess has APP
parently made no effort at concealment be-
You'd changing her name. She has crossed
10 her place of employment in New York
almost daily, and has even attended Plym-
outh church on several occasions. The real
name of Kate Stoddard is believed to be
Lizzie M. King, as a large bundle of letters
from her mother and sister so addressed
was found at her lodgings. Mary Hand
ley, the special detective, earns the reward
which amounts in the aggregate to 81, 500
The brother OF the murdered man, w. w.
Goodrich, is at present in Europe. The
affair naturally causes great excitement In

some respects was quite remarkable. Mr..
Lazelle is now lightweight years of age.
He came from Mendon, Mass, with his
parents to Dover when about four years
old, having, consequently, lived in town
with some brief intervals) eighty four
years. For more than forty-seven years
he has held the Office Of deacon, though
during the latte. part of his life debarred
from active duties by infirmity. As man
of sterling character he has the respect Of
community, and younger men have emu
lated his virtues. The children who out
lived the age Of infancy are six in number.
The youngest is now hfly-two years of age
and the oldest vfour These surviving
members of the family, (the mother hav-
ing been dead some twenty.four years.
gathered at the home of Mr.. L. on Friday,
June 81, not having been all together for
more than thirty years previous to that day.
The gathering, though saddened by the
prospect Of separating not TO meet again on
earth, was one Of pleasant Renaissance of
times long past. As the family had been
scattered so long, and as none of the sven
members have seen les than half centu-
~, the reunion seems remarkable.
