ter so clearly that even child could
understand it, Indeed, the only matter Of
wonder is that so many judges could be
found in the state of New York who dared
not act rightcously, do Justice and decide
according to the law. With the question
of the actual guilt or innocence of Edward
S. Stokes we have nothing to do. The
fact of the shooting is unqucstioncd and
admitted. ] hat there was no proof Of
"malicc aforcthought' or 'prcmcditatcd
design upon either Of the trials, we think
will be conceded by every attentive reader
of the details of the case us reported day
by day. Whether there was actually such
intention or not, is known only to Stokes
and his Maker and with them ii will,
probably, ever remain concealed until the
day when, as we are told, the secrets OF all
hearts will he known. SO far as the world
is concerned it is Il matter of little Consc-
qucncc now. After occupying more than
an ordinary share of public attention for
nearly u year and ten months, Edward s.
Stokes will, for four years, be immurcd in
fclon's cell, where he, his alleged wrongs
and alleged crimes, will be, in measure,
forgottcn-and it is well. This, the third
and last, trial has been conducted fairly
and mpartially, before an intelligent jury,
with fearless, impartial, able judge, and
free from all cXtraneous excitement, either
in behalf Of the prisoner or the dead and
the public will accept the result AS fol
ourscf, we regard the result AS we die
that of Professor Webster, of Foster ant
of Walworth, as II triumph of law an(
order over lawlessncss on the one part ant
a popular excitement on the other. So
always, be it.

FRIDAY MORNING. JULY II, 1878.
Iudge punton,s Vow ResIdence.

Hon. Walter c. Dunton is about to erect
new and spacious residence on the corner
of Washington and Nickwackett streets, in
this village, and has already broke ground
preparatory to putting in the foundation.
From the plans and designs for this new
dwelling we have CLEANED a few facts of
interest. The building is to front on Wash
ington street and to be two stories in height,
surmounted by a hip roof, with an attic
window in the centre. 1t is to be painted
a tasty brown, the roof of slate. The
main building is to be 80 by 30, with an ell
projecting on Nickwackett street 80 by %,
with piazza fronting on said street thirty
feet in length. The front door is to be on
the southwest corner, double size, with
handsome glass windows. Passing through
this door Il hall IA by IA is entered from
which stairs lead to the second story in
winding style. The parlor is at the right,
fronts on Washington street and is to be %
by 16 feet, with a verandah window. The
sitting room is entered through the hall,
frontngon Nickwackett, 2G by 10, with bay
window of elaborate pattern and from which
an extensive view will be given of the sur
rounding country. From the sitting room
the dining-hall is aihated on the right, 10
by 10, while passage from this room leads
to the kitchen, which is to be 12 by IA,
and from which doors lead to the pantry,
wood-room and scullery in very convent

also opens from the sitting-room, is to be
10 by 8. This is where the Judge can be
found for business purposes when at home.
The second story is approached by the
stairs from the front hall, and also by stairs
from the kitchen in the rear. A hall runs
the entire length of the house on this floor
The chamber over the parlor that looks out
upon Washington street will lbe II by 16
feet supplied with two closets. From the
hall at the left is a chamber over the sitting
room 12 by 10, and at the right, over the
dining-room, another 12 by II. Also one
over the library by 12, besides two others
in the ell part 10 by feet each. This floor
is also supplied with spacious bathroom
and requisite appurtenances. Owing to the
well-ordered design of the roof all these
rooms will be of lofty height and easily
aired and ventilated.
The cellar will be one of the very best in
this community, comprising the entire cir
conference of the house, is to be cement
floor and stone wall, divided in three de-
partments, commodious, extensive and well
arranged. Here is to be a good furnace
which will serve to heat the building
throughout.
The architect is Mr.. j. j. r. Randall of
Rutland. Work upon the same is to be
put forward at once, and it is expected the
residence will be completed early in the
autumn.

EXTENSIVE REVENUE FRAUDS.
Montpelier Parties Implicated.

Several officers In the Secret Service of
the United States Government have been
operating quietly at Springfield, Mass, and
have succeeded finally in unearthing a sys-
TEN of fraudulent importations of ready
made clothing and dress goods, which has
probably been successfully carried on for a
number of years, and through which an
immense amount of goods have been
brought into New England free of duty,
and the customs revenue defrauded of large
sums of money.
On Saturday these officers, acting upon
information which they had previously OBJ
tanned, seized in Springfield large amount
of ready-made clothing and dress goods
alleged to have been struggled from Can
ada, from various parties doing business
here. Following up the lead thus obtained,
and pursuing the investigations, it was as
certaned that the practice of smuggling
these classes of goods had been in vogue
for long time, and that merchants in
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
anu GNtu III NCM lpihj buOh
with considerable regularity from this
source. The evidence which has thus far
accumulated pointed to certain parties in
Montpelier, Vermont, as being implicated,
and was so strong that the detectives felt
warranted in apprehending some of these
persons. Therefore ON Monday they pro-
ceeded quietly to Montpelier, where sew
eral arrests were made on Monday and
Tuesday. Some startling developments
are promised, and it is highly probable that
when the names of those implicated are
published the public will be greatly aston
ished. The whole matter has been con-
Quoted with such extreme quiet and eau
ton on the part of the officers that but few
persons besides those most directly in
terested, know anything of it.

Convent OF Our Lady of Vermont

The closing exercises of this institution
occurred on last evering at the church on
Lincoln Avenue. Owing to the rain that
was falling there was not n large attend
ance. The house was beautifully decorated
for the occasion and together with the tasty
arrangement of the improvised stage pre-
scented a lovely appearance. The scholars
were like so many fairies in their dresses
of white with wreaths of flowers upon their
heads while the joyous light that beamed
from their sparkling eyes and handsome
faces betokened the great interest they one
and all took in the event Nothing can
be more pleasing to an audience than the
picture presented by these young maidens
in their appearance and acting throughout
the evenings exercises, and the fathers and
mothers as well as their teachers and all
patrons of this worthy institution could
not but feel proud of the results attained
by the children as shown in their exhibition
last evening.
The programme was made up of da-
logues in French and English, and music
both vocal and instrumental. Owing to
the length of the exercises we were obliged
to leave before its close, but what we had
the pleasure of seeing and hearing impress
ed us most fayorably in every respect The
girls entered heartily into the spirit of the
hour and performed their several parts with
an excellence of precision and beauty of
effect quite surprising, especially as regards
the younger portion. The operettas, both
in the singing and acting were well render
ed, and exhibited much faithful training on
the part of the teachers, as well as quick
perception and diligent application in the
work of the pupils. The English dialogue
''The Threatened Visit" was well perform
ed, the personation of the Anticipated
aunt from Pennytown by Miss Mil
Ter, and the airs of the city girl
as taken by Miss Valiquette were both
success and received the hearty approba-
ton of the delighted audience. The
dialogues one and all were spoken with
much animation and viyacity, in good tone
of voice and with but little prompting in
the parts. In the solo "Le Jeune Martyre"
a beautiful little girl personated the role of
the angel with striking correctness and re-
semblance to the subject presented. The
piano playing was well done, especially
the solo "Sans Souci, by Miss Forcier, who
played brilliantly and with much grace.
The trios and quartettes upon the piano
were remarkable for the absence of dis
cord and gave rare entertainment to all
present.
We are confident that the convent is in
good hands and in its fruits is an honor TO
the town of Rutland and the cause of Edu-
cation and the fine arts.
