heard Of. He was dispatched on the morning Of
that day 10 repair the wires at some point be-

day and reporting the work accomplished. Since
that time nothing has been heard Of him He

80 yeArs Of age. 5 feet inches high, has 8 sandy
moustGche, and when last seen had on grAyish
clothes and drab-colored hat. He has a wife, Who
resides in West Chester.
1t is feared that Mr.. Pharo has been foully
dealt with. He is not believed to have had any
quantity OF money upon his person, at the time
of his disappearance, but his friends here cannot
think that ne has suicided. He was very lively
in his disposition, and there was nothing in his
life antecedent TO his disappearance which would
point TO suicide.

dance-house kept by Joe Barbie, an old
convict. \ couple of men were here
picked up and placed under guard. Barbie
was notified by Capt. Hay to leave town in
forty-eight hours. From there the com
mittee secured the town, picking up in all
ten men, the most notorious of whom were
Billy Smith. Joseph Newell, Charley
Howard and John Williams. John Blan-
chon, who kept another dancc-house, re-
ceived the same notice as Barbie. One of
the men under guard was sick, and another
had wife and child IN town. They were
kept in custody until noon to-day, and
placed on the train for San Francisco The
remaining eight were accompanied BY
guard five miles north of the town, and
notified never to return, under penalty of
severe punishment. Several of the crowd
sent off were old convicts. Thccommittce
did not find all their men, but will continue
the organization till the towns rid of every
suspicious character. The whole affair
was quietly done, without any violence or
noise, and meets with the approval of the
entire community. The town is patrolcd

Important Legal Hearing.

In the United States district court on
Thursday, at Burlington, says the Free
Press, It hcaring was had in the matter of
S. Wright Il Co., of Pownal. 1t was IL
rule to show cause on the part of VI. W..
Potter Of Pownal, the assignee, as to why
he should not be removed for alleged col
fusion with the bankrupt IN the sale of the
property of the estate Evidence was
given by Messrs. Parker & Son, creditors of
the estate, tending to show that the public
sales OF the property We're colusiye and re-
suited in sale to the brother of the bank
rupt, for much less than the value of the
property. The court ordered the assignee
to be removed and appointed Chauncey
Green, of Dorset, in his place, and set
aside the sales objected to. Daniel Rob-
erts and Z. j. Phelps, of Burlington, for
Parker II Son G. w. Harmon, of Ben
ninSton, and W. l.. Burnap, of Burlington,
for the assignee Terrant Sibley, of Ben
nington, for the bankrupts.
The suit brought by the new board of
directors of the Vermont Valley railroad
against the old board, to compel the latter
to turn over the funds they have in their
possession, was argued before Judge Bar
rett in the Windham county court at Brat
tleboro, Tuesday, but the decision was re-
served. L. w. Stoughton, of New York,
and L. j. Phelps, of Burlington, for plain
tifis; Judge Prout, of Rutland, and c. n.

GENERAL SICKLES.

"A ruihor was current, Saturday, that
General Sickles, United States Minister TO
Spain, had been assassinated in Madrid
At the present writing, there is nothing to
confirm the rumor, nothing, in fact, upon
which to base an opinion except as we
snail, presently state and we choose, for
the present, to disbelieve its truth, or that
it has any foundation except idle, senseless
rumor, started by the "Cuban Junta" of
New York and its sympathizcrs for the
purpose of goading the people of the Uni
ted States into war. Still there IS posi-
pillty of its truth We know that Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States
was publicly assassinated in the capital of
Inc country, and at the same time, an at
tempt made to take the life of William II.
seward, then secretary of state; we know
that General Prim, then at the head of the
government, was slain in the streets of
Madrid; that attempts have been made
time and again, upon the lives of almost
every European soyereign and that diplo-
matte officers have been murdered in the
country to which they were accredited.
The only fact upon which such n rumor
can be based, so far as is known at the
present writing although there is posi-
bilty of its being true, because assassipa-
tions are not rare in Spain-is that crowd
gathered about the honsc of General Sick.
les, in Madrid on Wednesday last but it
was broken up by Castelars troops before
any indignity had been offered to our min

Sickles says, in dispatch to Secretary
Fish, that he Is confident of the power of
the government to maintain order at Mad
rid. The testimony of General Sickles.
himself, thus shows that the Spanish gov.
eminent is doing all in its power to pre-
serve the public peace, and prevent any in.
dignity to the person of our minister. If
violence should take place if an insurrec-
ton, beyond the power of the existing
government to suppress, should break out
1t our minister should be murdered by the
moo; II he should be privately assassina-
ted at the United States legation if any
one OF these things should occur, it may,
ana probably will, become question what
Is it the right and duty of the government
to do in the premises. Another question
VIII have to be considered, and that is how
Tar country can be held responsible for
the actions of an irresponsible mob, or the
Individual acts of its citizens. We prefer,
however, to defer the discussion of these
questions until they are timely, believing,
rs we do at the present writing, that Gen
eral Sickles is alive and safe.
