lated laws of his country. II man vio-
lates the laws of his country In certain
specified ways, his life, or his liberty, may
be forfeited thereby but the forfeit is not
exacted 80 much as punishment, as for O
warning and example to his fellows, and
for the peace, security and well being of
society The force and potency of the
warning consists In Its certainty. 1t Is the
certainty of punishment that deters men
from the commission of crimes, and, there
by, assures the safety of society. Every
step taken and every movement made tend
ing to render full punishment uncertain de-
tracts so far from the safety of society.
Herein was, always, the powerful argu-
ment against capital punishment. 1t was
said that jurors would not convict, and, if
they would, Governors would commute,
where the punishment was death, and that,
therefore, there was no certainty of pun
ishment to the murderer, no warning to the
criminal classes, and consequent insecur-
ity of human life In the ways that laws
were executed there was too much of truth
in this. How much better il the change,
when such hopes are held out, as were held
out to Walworth? We may say what we
will, there is restraining influence in the
certainty of capital punishment. The pen
atty is comparatively speedyin its execu-
ton, and the time for hope against its in
Fiction reduced to the lowest possible space
of time There is, too, in these cases, a
great degree of probability that the SEN
tencc, when once passed, will ultimately
be carried out, while in cases where the ex-
tremc penalty of the law is "imprison-
ment for life," the probability is the other
way. To illustrate this uncertainty. 1t is
sufficient, at present to say--for we shall
refer to the subject of capital punishment
at future day-that the average dura-
ton of life sentence in Massachusetts, is
secen years, and that fifty per cent. of this
class of prisoners arc pardoned forty per
cent. are pardoned in Ohio, and the pro-
portion in New York is much larger, while
the average duration of confinement is
somewhere between six and eight years.
When we consider these facts, we see
where the difficulty, under this New York
statute, lies, and can almost believe
that the holding out of the hope of clem-
ency to Walworth was forced from the lips
of Judge Davis by the thought of these
facts to him well known.

A large cOncourse of people assembled
at Bethel to celebrate the Fourth of July,
and witness variety of exercises and
performances, laid down on the posters
that had been circulated throughout the
state. The rain it seemed for d time,
would break up many of the sports, but the
managers decided so far as possible to
carry out the programme. An exciting
pig race, etc, took place, which greatly
excited and amused the crowd. The bal
loon went up at the appointed hour not
outstanding the rain fell in torrents 1t
was success in going up, but did not
prove a rapid traveller, landing safely in
about an hour, two miles and half from
the village of Bethel.
FIRST RACE-3 MINUTES.
The first race was for minutes horses for
$25, $15 and $40. There were Cheats which

Homicide i'm DansviIIe, N. Y.

The particulars are given by the Dams
afternoon of the Fourth Dr. S. ID. Ellis, a
physician of that place, accompanied by
j. NJ. Hall, entered the store of w. j.
LaRue at half-past three o'clock, and were
soon followed by John W. Haas, between
whom and DIR. Ellis ill feeling has existed
for some time. Soon after Haas appeared
DR.. Ellis asked permission to go into an ad-
joining room and sit down. 1t was ac-
corded and he went in. Haas walked back
ward and forward across the store few
times and then followed the doctor, shut
ting the door after him. The partition be-
tween the store and the room is a thin
board fence, reaching only part way to the
ceiling. Very soon the two men were
heard to engage in a dispute. Among
other things Haas was heard to inquire,
Have you got through ?" and immediate
ly there was the noise of scuflle. Haas
exclaimed, "If you put your hand behind
you again you are a dead man."
The persons in the store Immediately rush
ed to the door, and as they did so a pistol
was fired. On entering they encountered
Haas, who fell into the arms of one of
them with blood spouting from wound
under the left eye. He was taken home
and died there. DIR. Ellis wentinto mag
istrate's Office to give himself up, but was
brought back to the store. He spoke freely
on the subject of the shooting, saying that
Haas had been waylaying him for some
time past, and that he (Ellis) had gone to
some trouble to avoid him, even to the ex-
tent of leaving town for two weeks at a
time. He said that at the time of the af-
fray Haas had stool raised, threatening
to brain him, and that he fired the pistol in
self-defense.
Haas was forty-nino years of age and
had lived in Dansville from childhood. He
was in the carriage business for long
time. He.held the Office of corporation as
SCISSOR. DR.. Ellis is about thirty years old.
He is son of DR.. Samuel Ellis of Lima,
and is highly respected.

The Mission school on Scotch avenue had
arranged for picnic at Morgan's grove.
but on account Of the rain 1t did not take
place. The Good Templars had also made
every preparation for one In Webb's
woods, and were likewise disappointed by
the weather, but through the kindness of
Gen. Geo. Bradford, who placed his mill
at their disposal, the festivities came off
that evening and was very pleasant and
enjoyable affair.

OF baptism to seven infant children last

BRADFoRD's KNITTING MILL.
The largest and most complete knitting
mill in Bennington is that of Henry Brad
ford & Co., situated on Main street. The
main part is 90 feet square, with wing on
the north side 1876 feet deep and one on the
south side 100 feet deep, both of them being
80 feet wide and all built of brick. The
total cost of the mill, including machinery,
was $70,0 900. 1t is full four set mill, EN-.
ploys rs hands, keeps 20 sewing machines
busy, and its average production is rs dozen
per day, ladies' and gents white and col
ored wool knit goods. The mill is lighted
with gas, which is made on the premises,
heated by steam and run by steam which is
furnished by Wood & Mann engine of 40
horse power. One hundred and thirty five
tons of coal are used yearly. The mill is
considered firc-proof, the doors all being
encased with zinc and the floors being OF
marble. In the basement are the washing
machines, run by steam for washing the
wool and the goods, also dyeing and
cleansing rooms while the upper floor is SC
arranged that the wool is carried into one
door and after passing through the picking
carding and knitting rooms reaches the
finishing room where it is finished packed
and ready to be delivered, all being done or
the ground floor thereby saving vas
amount of labor. Both of the proprietor
are still young men, liberal citizens, ant
are proverbial for liberality and honorabl,
dealing, and are fast accommodating forum,
in their business. b.

Gen. Butler, in Fourth of July speech,
said if he was elected governor of Massa-
chusetts, he should enforce the temperance
law. In speaking of railroads he said
"The State lends its power to make high
ways to railroad companies, and should see
that every man can put his vehicle on the
one as well as the other" This would give
every man private switch, and compel
him to keep an iron horse to draw his po-
tatoes and cabbages to market. Fine idea
that, but we hardly think the honest voters
of the old Bay State will swallow the bait

LET US CoNsIDER.-Since the introduc
tion of distilled spirits, in the Sixteenth
Century, they have been habimally pre-
scribed as remedies. We know that aico-
hol, in all its forms, is perRici0tls to health.
Rno,0tag these things, and that under the
system of treatment which includes their
use the mortality among the sick is, and
ever has been, enormous, is it not worth
while to try the effect of remedy which
combines in their highest excellence the
qualities of a Tonic, an Alternative and a
Regulator; contains no mineral bane or
murderOus alkaloid or alcoholic poison;
does its curative Office without pain and
with uniform certainty? DR.. WALKERS
VINEGAR BITTERs fulflls all these condi-
tinns, and is now etfecting the most extra
ordinary cures, in cases where every "spe-
cific" of the faculty has ignominiously
failed. Consider, in view of these facts,
whether any sick person is justified by
reason and common sense in declining to
test the virtues of this undehled and ire
sistible remedy. II

A First-Class Farmer.

A MAN must be well made up who pos
sesses all the qualifications for frst-class
farmer. There must be energy, inteli-
gence, industry, taste, pleasant disposi-
ton, administrative ability and large
share of GOODNESS within the human en-
velope; for all Of these elements of great
ness are needed in the successful conduct
of an extensive plantation. Old methods
of work have changed; animals are not
now "toughened" by exposure to winter
storms; not much grass is mown before
sunrise, and but little hay stacked or
housed after sun-set men work neither so
hard nor so long as formerly; machinery
has taken much of the farm labor from
muscle, and brains presents his bill for
payment-a little larger than the old one
of muscle, yet worth more, even though
the hours of service are less Not only
are the help" better paid, but the treat
ment is of milder form, not so much
push and sputter, but fair, steady, intelli-
gent service, presided over by competent
and considerate managers. Work must
run smoothly, or the dry boxes of human
machinery soon burn out; but when lu-
bricated with the "0I of human kind
ness" service becomes pleasant occupa-
ton, and ceases to be drudgery; the en-
plOyed gets up to the level Of the employer,
and mutual respect prevails.-IRdustriaI
