The Cavendish Burglary.

We published last week full repo,t I
of the Cavendish robbery. The follow
ing additional information we have since
gained from Mr.. r. II. Dutton, the
postmaster and town clerk for Cavendish
1t appears that on the night of Oct.
21st, the Office of Mr.. Dutton was en-
tered by burglars, and the town safe,
weighing 5000 pounds, was blown open,
and 5000 in money and $3.50 in stamps
were distracted. A portion of one door
weighing about 150 lbs, was blown
across the office distant 25 feet None
of the books or records were molested,
or post office papers much damage was
done to nice show case, perfumery,
extracts, ETC., kept there; also to the
windows. Strangers were seen about
town the day previous. Probably the
parties expected to find a large sum of
town funds; as it was, the whole loss is
sustained by Mr.. Dutton. Mr.. Dutton
is making additions to his office, to
receive the Fletcher Library, for want
of a better place. 1t has been kept in a
private house.

A CORRECTION.


Our police records Cor the primeval
cause thereof are becoming quite excit-
ing. That individual from Clarendon
who entered the meat market of Mayer,
Wing & Thomson, on Sunday last, and
demanded ''joint' without the willing
ness to pay for the same, and who was
''carroled" out of petty theft of a pair
of steelyards who subsequently pro-
ceeded to load his pistol who doubtless
designed to shoot somebody; who was
seized 10y the said meat men; who was
taken to Jail by "Joel;" who knew
"Howe' it was done; who afterwards
''disclosed" that he procured his foot
poison of blind Dillon; who was
''mulcted" in a fine for this trifling of
fense of selling the "death rate" but
who can't see that there is any harm in
''shupporting me family" is much like
a hundred others who will cell if obliged
10 make a scapegoat of A. J. Smith to
accomplish their hellish design. Is there
not moral stamina enough left in the
good citizens of Vermont to en-
force the prohibitory and Sunday laws,
and save the public the humiliating dis
grace Of petty strife and consequent de-
generacy.
Excelsior" has gone and done it, and
Miss Boyle has done it too, and now
Miss B. is Mrs. Excelsior. What d
wonderful transformity. 1t was done
away down in Troy. The readers of
the HERALD will be pleased to know
that they have returned to their home
at West Rutland with the cup of hap
piness full, and, doubtless, ere long we
shall know that in union there is
strength, and see the ercelsitds of "Ex-
celsior's" loftiest fight over the old
familiar signature.
%. c. Tober is very pleasant and
entertaining individual of the mythical
order, who has been around since the

garments are of many and wonderful
hues, and his genial nature commends
itself to all lovers of the beautiful in ma
ture.
Several new buildings are in process
of building, and many of our citizens
are improving their residences by new
coats of paint and new fences. West
Rutland is bound to live. Call out the

side of the street, and press back the

AT the convention of the National
Board of Trade, now in session in Chi
cago, the Executive Council submitted a
long report concerning the National
Bankruptcy law, in which they give
history of all the laws upon the subject
of bankruptcy that have been in force in
this country, and accord to them the
praise of being among the benefits that
modern civilization has introduced into

against the unjust attachment laws and
endless litigation of very few of the
States. ....

Thoughtless, indeed, must be that per-
son who can wander for a day like this
around such an assemblage of sepulchres,
each depository of some human dust,
and not be reminded thereby of bis own
mortality. Well would it be for all the
living, if they would repair oftener to
the burial places of the dead and listen
to their solemn teachings, for there are
some lessons of our lives which may be
taught us best by the sides of graves.
