Escape and Recapture.

Lewis Wagner, the Isle of Shoals
murderer, was recently convicted of MUIR
der after an able defence, made his es-
cape from Jail last week, and was not
heard of for several days. The Jail was
new one but appears to have been kept
in q loose manner by the jailor, who is
much blamed by the people at Alfred,
Me. where he was tried.
Instead of ordering Wagner placed
in irons and quartered in some secure
cell, the sheriff almost gave him his lib
erty, only taking the precaution to pro-
vide two watchmen for him during the
the night. The Waterman and the jail
er might have lacked vigilance, but the
general feeling is that the higher author
tiles certainly lacked brains. The dunn
my that deceived the watchmen was very
cleverly executed. This device was
formed by placing his prison-stool in bed,
| with the seat toward the head, attaching
blankets at the foot, and covering it ap-
parently carelessly. This formed the
body and legs. The head also covered.
consisted of an old "grnb-pan," so
called, and short broom. The device
was excellent Had the hips not been
unnaturally high it would have been
perfect. Jailer Bennett swears he saw
Wagner at 8 o'clock in the evening,
At 9.15 the Waterman arrived, and in
stead of attending Immediately to their
duty they stopped in the office and Cos
siped half an hour, and it is thought
that in this interval the fugitives con-
trived their escape. A reward of $500
was offered for his recapture.
On Saturday afternoon last Wagner
was arrested in Pennington, n. HI. He
called at the house of w. p. Tanner,
and asked for something to eat, saying
that he had eaten nothing for three days
but plums and berries. He was foot-sort
and weary. While he was eating hi
supper, Tanner suspected his identity
and went out and called some neighbor'
to assist in arresting him. When he re
turned, Wagner had finished eating ant

Straff3rd county, who put him in irons
and taken to Alfred. Wagner states tina

with him, separated from him but

Duel in Louisina.
JUDGE cody KILLED.
New ORLEANS, JuLY /,

New ORLEANS, July i.
The ground of the Rhett-Cooley duel
was that of the Mace-Coburn prize fight,
A special to the New Orleans Times
from the scene of the duel says that
Judge Cooley was killed at the second
fire.
The parties arrived ON the same train
at ten O'Clock this morning. Rhett was
accompanied by Charles Roman and
Dr.Bruns, and Judge Cooely by Col.
George w Carter and Maj. McRaesleph.
The weapons were double-barrelled shot
guns, one barrel loaded with a single
ball, distance forty yards. The ground
was promptly selected, distance measur-
ed, and the parties placed in posi- ton.
At the first fire, Rhett's shot ranged
high and Cooley's on the right. AT the
second fire both fired simultaneously,
and Cooley fell mortally wounded by the
shot entering his left side. passing apar-
emily through his heart. He expired
in six minutes without apparently suf-
fering, and only speaking the words to
DIR. Holiday : | am shot through the
breast" The gentleman engaged in the
affair exchanged the usual civilities after
the second fire, and separated with ex-
pressions of mutual respect and consid-

Senator Morrill,.

Senator Morrill, of this State writes a
letter to the Burlington Free Press in
explanation of having placed his back
pay in the State treasury, rather than
in the United States treasury. He makes
the distinction between senator and q
representative, it being impracticable
for the latter to return it (the back pay,)
directly TO the people of his district,
while a senator by placing it in the
State treasury, 80 far lightens the bur-
den of taxation of the entire State, which
must bear its proportional share Of the
back salary. We have been surprised at
the manner which some both in and out
of the State have thought proper to
speak Of and denounce Mr.. Morrill, be-
cause he has turned his portion of the
back pay over to our State, rather than
the United States, for whatever opinion
may prevail as to the course which
should be pursued in this matter, no rea
sonable person would think of attributing
to our Senator any but the most honora
BILE motives.

Rain After Drought.
BY JOHN ". CHADWICK.


few short hours ago. and all the land
Lay. rs in fever faint and parched with drought !;
And so had lain, while many weary day
Dragged the long horror Of its minutes out
The juiceless fruits fell from the dusty trees
The farmer doubted IL the Lord was good
As, sad, he watched the labor of his hands.
Made useless by the Day god's fiery ood
:, The roadsides lost the glory of their green;
No second growth sprung up to glad the eye.
Where once the mower with his scythe had been'
A few short hours agoi And now, behold.
Freshness and beauty CLEAN on every sidei
The earth has drunk its fill, and all about
The amber pools are stretching far and wide,
million drops are flashing in the sun;
The springs far down the upper wonder know;
The farmer laughs, and little cares how fast
Through his torn hat the cooling streamlets flow.
And all the fields and pastures seem to say,
With joyous smile that shall neer forget,
And all the flowers and trees in chorus join,
I'VE knew twould come; He never failed US yet. .
God of my life. as God of all beside,
This lovely wonder. which thy hand hath wrought.
Qulekens in thought the mercies manifold
Which thy great love into my soul hath brought.
For have lain, full oft. as hot and dry
AS ever earth in summers fercest hour;
And the long days. slow creeping over me,
Brought me no tokens OF thy gracious power
Then, at thy word. down fell thy spirit rain;
felt its GOODNESS all my being through;
Made fresh and clean and joyous every whit
/ heard the whisper, " make all things new"
But mine. alasi was not the holy faith
That parched earth felt through all her thirsty
hours;
was in fear that never more again
Should be quickened by the heavenly powers.
SO shall it be no more; but, though lie
For many days as one thou dost forget.
Recalling this glad hour. my heart shall say.
Il know twill come; He never failed me yet"

should aid the Democrats and entirely
defeat their desires, in order to spite the

From the New York Printer for July,
Freedom of the Press.

The act passed in the closing hours OF
the last Congress, having for its object
the repeal of the Thanking privilege,
had added to it the following clause
Provided, that all laws and parts OF
laws permitting the transmission by mall
of any free matter-whatever 1t may
be-and the same are hereby repealed
from after June 80, 1878"
A strict construction of this clause
will cut off the free use of the mail for
exchanges" and at once aims direct
blow against the newspaper press OF the
country. The freedom of the press from
taxation in this respect is of immense
value as a means of intelligence, and
enables newspapers at distance from
the centres of commerce and trade, to re-
ceive news of every kind to be reprinted
and distributed to their subscribers and
the public generally, without the cost
which the present law will impose. This,
surely, is a retrogade step, and we can
not but think that had there been an OPP
portunity given for an examination or
discussion of this clause, it could not
have received majority vote of Con-
gress.
The spirit that dictated this tax upon
the newspaper press of this country be-
cause of the abuse of the franking priv
ilege, was too mean and narrow-minded
to comprehend the generous idea that q
free form of government is best sustained
when encouraging free and widespread
intelligence that enables the struggling
publisher in the sparsely settled districts
to place before his readers the latest and
most important news from all parts OF
the country. Any additional burden
must of necessity limit the means and
discourage the personal efforts which
now 80 largely contribute to an intelli'
gent press.
Let the press of the country speak
out freely on this subject which comes &C
direct home to each newspaper, and Wa
have abiding faith that the next Con
gress will remedy this worse than blum
dering act of legislation.

Murder In Walden.

A DRUNKEN MAN SHOOTS A PEDLAR.
Saturday afternoon John Stanton, a
German pedlar, stopped at the house OF
James Snow, in Walden in Caledonia
County, and asked Mrs. Snow if she
wished to purchase any goods. Mrs.
Snow replied that she had no money
Stanton said 81 guess you have money
as farmers generally have plenty of it,"
Mr.. Snow, who was in the house drunk,
asked what he knew about it and ordered
him to leave. Stanton said to Snow 81
guess you will not hurt any body, and
got into his wagon. Snow took. a small
fowling piece and deliberately shot the
pedlar dead. He then pulled the body
out upon the ground, and sent his wife to
the neighbors to tell them what he had
done. Snow is under arrest.
Another account says that after Stau-
ton told Snow that he (Snow) wouldn't
hurt anybody, he stepped out of the
house, agreeably to Shows order, ana
got on to his wagon. Snow said 81
will show whether | will or not" STAN
ton was on his wagon at this time and
had started his team out into the high
way. Snow took his gun, a small fowl
ing piece, and taking deliberate aim shot
him while he was sitting in the wagon
and died Immediately. Snow then went
up to the wagon and pulled the body out
ON the ground, and sent his wife to the
neighbors to tell them what he had done.
The charge of shot took effect in Stan
tons head, over forty shot penetrating it.
Snow is under arrest, and was to have
been examined at st. Johnsbury on Mon
day morning.

There is music in the political air of
Massachusetts. Gen. B. F. Butler has
announced himself as candidate for gov
ernor, and lively times may be expected.
Butler represents the salary grab and
his nomination will place the republicans
in an uncomfortable and very awkward
position. 1t is announced that some of
the democrats will support him which is
not unlikely, as several of his old demo-
cratic traits have always remained with
him. He will also command the sup
port of political adventures and much
of the floating vote. How much his
campaign will bear upon national affairs
remains to be seen. At all events it is
not likely, to be of much beaeft to the
republican party.

TREATMENT OF CHoLERA.-A physi-
clan of New York, whose treatment in
cholera has been very successful, writes
to the Times of that city as follows:
"First let me say that l have no
stereotyped mode of practice, either
for this or any other disease, which is
SO vauntingly put forth as almost orac-
ular by many, who probably never saw
a case of cholera; for it is we'll known
that it assumes a variety of forms and
requires varied course to suit each in
dividual case. One of the most power
full aids we possess is the steam-bath, and
in the absence of proper apparatus it
can be effected by placing the patient in
bed and wrapping him in WOODEN blank
cts, rung out of water as hot as can be
borne, and dry blankets over all. Cover
the abdomen with linseed poultice, bot
| ties of hot water about him and at his
feet; ice to quench thirst Frictions
with dry fannels are useful, should they
not produce spasms by too much motion
of the patient; if so, they will do more
harm than good, and should be discon
tinued. Astringents as tannin, and slim
ulants, as brandy, ether, amonia, inter
nally, and moist heat externally is the
proper course
