| himself in fit of temporary insanity,
| at the Libby House in New York, some
two weeks ago, was carried through this
| village the 9th inst, and buried in Corn
wall. The young man was the son OF
Rev. Zebulon1 Jones' Baptist clergyman
| in Hubbar1ton, and was a very ex-
| enpiaTy young man. His age was 81
years. He had been in poor health for
SEINE time past and was in the employ
| of an agricultural house in Rochester,
| N. \. He was stranger in New York
| city, and upon his death the city author
tiles took charge of the body, and after
exposing it at the morgue for some eight
days for Identification, it was buried on
| Hart Island. The news of his decease
| came to the knowledge of his friends in
| Addison county, and Mr.. Oscar Hurl-
burt, his brother-in-law, went to New
| York and succeeded in recovering the
body and bringing it home for burial.
| His business transactions with the house
| have named were all right, and he was
highly esteemed by his employers. The
/ circumstances of his death are peculiarly
sad, while the recovery of his body was
| specially fortunate. Great credit is due
Mr.. Hurlourt for his perseverance and
| success.
Three young men were arralgned
charged with criminal offenses and all
plead guilty, viz John B. Person, of
| Goshen, who stole bay mare in the
| town of Goshen, was sentenced to hard
labor in the State prison for three years.
j. NJ Slade, Jr., stated to the Court that
this was his first offense, and from his
| age, 81 years, hoped the court would
| blend justice with mercy. arats rem
Joseph Bushy, of Hinesburgh, in Au-
! gust, 1873, stole horse in StarksbOrO.
This young man is only 81 years old,
and upon the fact being communicated
to the Court that this was his first of
| Tense, by r. H. Marden, he was SEN
| fenced to the State Prison for three
years. a@-- Fl As.#
George Sexton, on the 9th of Novem-
| Der, broke into the house of II. Beebe,
! in Bridport, and stole Sal. lie is only
20 years of age, and was sentenced to
the State Prison for two years.
1t was a sad sight to see these three
young men, all bearing marks of intelli-
gence, so soon to be inmates of the
prison, to hard labor and character
furnished for life, standing before a
crowded house and receiving a sentence
just and yet lenient. | trust they may
| live to come out and by future industry
and correct habits make good citizens.
Rev. E. p. Hooker, Congregation
alb preached in the Methodist church,
having exchanged with the pastor, Rev
w H. Meeker. His sermon was upon
the effect of sin on q mans life, making

Sabbath evening, the 14th inst, BY
special request, Rev. E p. Hooker re-
peated the sermon he delivered on

wish it could be delivered in every
school district in the State.
The meeting was - success, and | trust
that rich results OF good may flow from
it. CANDoR.

little unpleasantness between him and

of his whereabouts until one night last
week he appeared to them as suddenly
as he left them. There was some re-
ioicing in the house at his return, es-

something of the world. He looks well,
appears well, and feels well that he is

condition the train arrived and took its
