very lovely child, the light and Joy of
her grand parents, with whom she lived.
Her disease was inflammation OF the
bowels, and her sufferings were excruci-
ating in the extreme. Her expressions
of agony were heard all through the
house, and as much as she was loved il
was relief to the afflicted friends when
her sufferings were at an end.

MUsIcAL-The concert, at Dandy,
given by the class of Prof. G. G. Hard,
assisted by goodly number of singers
from Rutland and Bennington counties,
was a complete success. The pro-
gramme was composed mostly of selec-
lions from the great masters. Mrs.
Rogers of Arlington was the principal
soloist. She did herself full justice and
was encored. Miss Stone of Castleton
afforded her hearers much pleasure, as
her singing is of a superior order. Mrs
Earl and Miss Hilliard, Mrs Cheney and
Hathaway have fine voices, and much
satisfaction was expressed upon the rem
dering of their several songs and DUETS.
Mr.. Stafford of Arlington, musician of
fair promise, was somewhat of an addi-
ton and was well received by the audi
ence. Miss Ella Earl gave ''The Forest
Bird, very sweetly, and also played a
piano solo. By her extreme youth she
elected the admiration of all. The ex-
ercises were closed with ''The Storm
King" 1t was well sung, and shows a
thorough and faithful drill on the part
of their teacher, Mr.. Hard. He is GER
tainly a fine singer, and the class have
made good progress under his instruction.
| SERIOUS RAILROAD AocIDENT.-The
regular freight train for the east,
over the Rutland railroad, yesterday
afternoon, consisted of twenty-eight
cars. In passing through the third
bridge below Gassets, at about four
o'clock, and after the locomotive and
first car had fairly got over and through
the bridge, journal, under the car next
following, broke, throwing eleven cars
from the rails and making, almost, kind
ling wood of the bridge itself. The ex-
tent of the damage inflicted on the
eleven cars, we are unable, at the pres
emit writing, to ascertain. The bridge,
however, is all gone, so that new one
will have to be Immediately erected.
Fortunately no one was injured, and the
trains, by carrying by, will run as usual
to-day.

A DRUGGIST SHOT DEAD BY HIS LAND.
,, LORD. H'2
W. T.. Neville, q young druggist, was
shot and instantly killed tonight between
eight and nine o'clock, in his own store,
corner OF 9Th and Lock street, by Dennis
Gary, the owner Of the premises. Neville
had rented another store, and was re.
moving bis effects. Some furniture he took
was claimed by Cary. This led TO a
dispute, which. tits said, Neville regari.
ed as Of little consequence, when Gary
drew a pistol and shot with the resul,
mentioned. Neville Is represented as a
very respectable young man, who came
here from Ireland about four years ago.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 2-Cary, who killed
Neville 10 night, after the murder, went
to the Hammond street station and gave
himself up, as be was pursued by crowd
OF highly excited people who threatened
personal violence, and who were only
kept of by Gary threatening to shoot
from the same revolver with which he
had slain Neville. zsIaIr rt

The New York Method Of "Certifl.
cation Explained. ~

From the Tribuno's Financial Coumn.)
The associated banks Of the city now
stand shoulder to shoulder, and will sur
vive or perish together, while in former
panics each bank has had only TO look
alter its own safety. They have, as the
public Is already aware, adopted system
Of credits, in the form OF certificates,
which pass as money at tho Clearing
House In the adjustment OF ofdillerenccs be
tween the several banks. These certifi.
Gates are issued 10 such banks as require
them, upon the deposit OF firstclass sucu-
rites at the rate Of rs per cent Of the
present market value, as nearly as that
value can be ascertained, OF the securities
81 deposited. This seems 10 be reasona
bly, safe, unless the bottom Of everything
falls out, and may be extended, according
to the necessities Of the case, 80 long as the
banks have securities 10 offer. This puts
the banks In condition to give relief to
their depositors. For instance, q stock
broker who has good, substantial securi-
ties, Is unable to borrow greenbacks upon
them, but he has pressing need Of $50 600
In something that will pass for money. So
he takes these securities which are fairly
worth now 100000 and obtains credit
at the bank Of $50, 600, which he avails Of
according TO his need in the form oi certi.
fed checks. The bank In turn may take
these identical securities to the Clearing
House Association and obtain upon them
$75 900 In certificates, thus on the whole
strengthening itself while affording relief
10 It's customer. 30 the merchant may
take to his bank good bills receivable and
while the bank may not feel strong
enough to discount the bills II may give
the merchant O credit Of 80 per
cent upon their face, and in turn iortiiy
itself, II need be, by obtaining from the
Clearing House rs per cent in certificates
upon the same bills. We hear much about
the necessity Of an elastic currency. The
new currency In the form Of certified
checks would seem to be sufficiently elias
tic In one direction OF least to suit the
most ultra partisan Of elasticity, which
generally means elongation, or the power
Of expansion. The system In force BY
the associated banks will no doubt work
well, TO q certain extent; but OF course 1t
cannot provide for the currency required
In the country ior the moving Of the crops
10 the seaboard. nor can II relieve the for.
eign exchange market, though movements
are on foot which II Is to be honed will
accomplish that desirable object. s.A

The London Times Of this Morning
on the American Panic.

LONDON, October 3-5A,M.-The Times
this morning in an editorial retrospect
Of the late American financial panic says
that the unsoundness and dishonesty lately
characterizing the management Of some
Of the greatests undertakings in America,
have induced d chronic nervousness, mo.
mentarlly liable to become acute, even
the Americans, says the Times, are not
all smart men or daring spectators. The
Times thinks the danger has disappeared
for the present, butthe political and flnan.
cial causes arc liable to reproduce 1t at any
time. A country with on immense
field for enterprise and comparatively
limited capital Is always liable to psnics
The improvements made in the western,
communications are most useful and prot.
liable, but may cause further trouble.
The entire blame for the disaster rests
upon the unsuund monetary system Of the
country. ''"
