connected with the United States Coast
Survey, who is passing through Vermont

be stations. These stations will be occu-
pied next summer by surveying party,

A SCANDAL CAsE-A RowDy sERENADE-
INcENDIARIsM.
The moral and usually quiet village of
West Brattleboro has lately been the scene
of some dsgraceful events, which will tend
TO increase its notoriety in way not TO be
desired. For some time scandalous re-
ports have been in circulation regarding
two years resident of the place named Otis
NJ. Reed and woman OF bad reputation,
now the wife of s. Il. Goodenough. Mr..
Goodenough hasn't lived with his wife
for some time, and for several months
past she has been boarding in Mr.. Reeds
family. The neighborhood report is that
Reed had become fascinated with the
woman, of late, TO the neglect of his bust
ness and his family, and that several times
he has turned his wife out of doors. Reeds
wife, we understand, finally left with her
child, a girl ten or twelve years Of age, last
Monday, and has since been living with
some of the neighbors. On Tuesday night,
about 10 o'clock, parcel of twenty-five or
thirty boys went 10 Reeds house and gave
him "serenade." Nobody appears to
know anything about the doings from per-
sonal observation at the time, but the next
morning -four barrels were standing upon
the chimneys, a washing machine stood
astride The shed, the front door was barIi-
caded from without, chickens were found
in tho pantry, and the buggy was astride
the fence. 1t is said that the woman point
cd a revolver from one of the windows and
threatened TO shoot, but no other demon

In assuming the Joint editorship and pro-
prietorship of the VERMONT PHOENIX we
have only TO say that we shall bring to cur
work our best energies and a determination
TO make the paper worthy of the continued
support of the inhabitants of the town and
county. In the present condition of things
in this country the local newspaper occu-
pies field peculiarly its own. On the
journals published at the great centres of
thought and trade the people depend,
through the medium of steam and the telc-
graph, for the daily history of the world at
large, while on the country press devolves
the not less important task of advocating To-
cal interests and of furnishing a faithful
record of local events. 1t is this field of To-
cal and State affairs which We shall, endeavor
assiduously to cultivate. 1t will be our aim
TO give all the town and county news in
condensed and attractive form, and to give
weekly complete digest of State and gen.
eral news. In its literary and miscellane-
Gus character we shall endeavor TO make
the paper a welcome weekly visitor in ev-
cry household. Believing as we do that for
the present, at least, all reforms must be
labored for through the Republican party,
We shall unhesitatingly advocate what we
conceive TO he pure and true Republican
principles. In all matters of public inter-
est and importance we shall have decided
ideas Of our own 10 misunderstanding in
mind, always, however, those memorable
words of Lincoln-"with malice towards
none and with charity for ALL"

AS is indicated by notice published in
another column, my connection with the
VERMONT PHOENIX closed on the first in
slant. My experience in connection with
this Office, as proprietor and otherwise, has
extended over period of more than thirty
years, and it is with natural feeling of
pride and satisfaction that / reflect that
during this time the PHOENIX has es-
tablished reputation as a sound, reliable
and popular family journal second TO none
in the State. That l leave the paper in a
prosperous condition, and in competent
and faithful hands, is none the less a source
of pleasure and qualification. My imme-
diate successor in the business, Mr.. o. l..
FRENCH, who assumes the joint editorial
and general management of the PHOENIX
IN connection with Mr.. STEDMAN, brings TO
his work a long and successful experience
as a newspaper editor and manager. or
Mr.. STEDMAN's qualifications and services
the columns of the paper Tor the past five
years speak for themselves, week by week.
Under its new management the continued
and increased success Of the PHOENIX is
assured. l desire to express my sincere
thanks TO the friends and patrons of the
concern for their iavors and encouragement
in the past and to assure them that the
PHGNIX will ever have my best wishes and
cordial support.

LooPHoLEs OF THE LAW.
The case of Vincenge Motto, charged
with holding Italian children in slavery,
came up before commissioner Osborn yes
terday for final adjudication. Assistant
district attorney Purdy said that he could
throw no further light on the subject, and
would now leave the case for the court TO
dispose Of. Commissioner Osborn said that
to his mind there was but one course TO
pursue, and that was to discharge the pris-
oner. lie knew perfectly well that such a
state of slavery existed as the prosecution
had endeavored TO show in this case, and
there must be some mistake as to the iden-
tity of Motto by the boy Joseph. The pris-
oner was discharged and left the court with
a lumber of his jublant countrymen.
