More Accidental" Killing.

And now it has reached Vermont.
This pointing dangerous weapons at
persons in sport is getting mOnOtonous.
The sooner some of these funny testers
are hung. the safer it will be for the
public. The Burlington Free Press of
Tuesday has the following:
Caroline Bills. about l3 years of age.
daughter of George Bills, who lives
opposite the rolling mill at the foot of
Champaign street. was shot. it is sup
posed accidentally. about nine o'clock
last evening. 1t seems that one Jack
Kane came into the house. somewhat
intoxicated. with Il gun loaded with
buckshot. which he proceeded to show
off to Mr.. Bills and the girl. While
pointing it playfully at the girl. the
piece somehow discharged. .and two
shots struck her in the right temple.
one over the right carotid artery in the
neck and one over the lip. One of
those over the temple penetrated the
skull, and the shot is lost in the brain.
causing fracture of the bones of the
temple. and it is feared fatal results
will follow. The one in the neck is
also Il serious wound. from its proXim-
ity to the large vessels of the region.
The Shsts that did not hit the girl. rid
died the wall ct the room behind her
After the accident Kane. who is about
% years old, dropped the gun and fed.
and had not been seen ut last accounts.
The Wednesdays Free Press gives
the following later intelligence The
condition of Caroline Bills, the Young
cir! 80 carcleSSly shot by Kane. was
slightly improved last evening. and
there are faint hopes of her recovery.
She is a bright girl. and was an atten-
tive member of Miss Julia keclcr's class
in the Sabbath school of st. PaurS
Church. Mr.. Bills has been sadly at
tilcted. Within Il wear he has lost II
son, who was killed on the railroad.
and, hut week ago, one of his children
died of pneumonia.

The Centennial.

The careful reader of the newspaper
does not need to he told that there is a
good deal of talk in Philadelphia and
elsewhere. of Il centennial celebration
in the city of ''brothcrlv love" when
this government shall have become one
hundred years old. Also. that there is
strenuous effort to get bill through
Congress appropriating the modest lit
tie sum of three million dollars to de
fray expenses. There is considerable
opposition to this measure. but we are
inclined to think it will he pulled
through. 1t was to come up fer discus
sion "Wednesday, aud it is believed Il
vote will be reached speedily
The newspaper reporters say that the
Massachusetts members who will vote
for the bill are j. NJ. ). Williams. Samuel
Hooper. Croker. and possibly Dawes.
George F. IlOar would have voted for
it, but he has paired with Mr.. LamSon
of Ohio, who opposes it. All the Maine
delegation will vote for it. except Mr..
Hale. Vermont members will vote for
it. with the exception of Mr.. Willard.
General Hawley of Connecticut. will
make the closing speech of the debate.
Friends of the bill are very s;Inguine of
its success, though it is thought the vote
will he rather close. \ very influential
body of gentlemen from PENNSYLVANIA
are here hard ut work for it. and. in
order to ensure success. the Pennsylva-
MIA delegation has made all sorts of
trades and combinations in the House
with members from other sections who
have measures for which they desire
the vote of the twenty-Seven members
from Pennsylvania.

LIQUOR Adulteration.

The Brandon farmers club has been
putting the question of the adulteration
of liquors to scientific test. State
ments having been made that there
wasn't gallon of pure liquor in Bran
don, specimens were sent to Prof Seely
of Middlebury college. and after care
full analysis, he has pronounced them
free from the poisOns that liquors are
said by the ultra-temperance people to
cOntain-strychnine stramOnium and
belladOnna. He further says that,
every analytical chemist will scout
the idea of the presence of strychnine
in liquors that have been distilled p
that it is impossible for it to mingle
with such liquors, and that the sooner
the impression that liquors have any
poison in them worse than alcohol is
removed the better it will be for the
temperance cause. Prof Collier saws
that the scare about strychnine, stra-
monium, etc, is all ''pOppy-cock." De
ception in the manufacture of liquors is
practiced in this country, he admits
but fannie acid, calomel and fusil oil
are the worst ingredients, while large
proportion of the more expensive liquors
are made from highwines.
Some may think that fannie acid
calomel, and fusil oil are sufficiently
bad, to say nothing about strychnine
etc.

WILL BEAR WATCHING-Thc Rut
land folks evidently think their village
trustees will bear watching: but az
cording TO Il report in the Herald they
have carried their suspicious to Il ride
ulous extent:
One wear ago. ut the annual meeting
of the village of Rutland. the legal
voters got suspicious of their board of
trustees, and passed an ordinance that
no trustee. nor any person related to a
trustee within certain degrees of affinity
or consanguinity, should he appointed
Il superintendent of streets aud side
walks. This was probably founded up
on the idea that men who would proha-
bly, he elected trustees would not he
faithful superintendent of streets. and
ia all probability their relations to the
fourth degree of affinity or consanguin-
ity would he of the same character.
This year they have loaded it on Il little
harder. and solemnly ordained that no
team owned. kept OF in charge of the
superintendent of streets and sidewalks.
or owned. kept or in charge of any rcla-
tive of said superintendent within the
third degree of cOnsanguinity or affini-
ty, shall he employed upon the streets
OF other public works of said village.
Now we submit that this is carving
the thing too far. a trustee may con-
taminate all his relatives. but we do
not believe but superintendent of
streets may have an honest mule or
horse, and one that would do faithful
work. There can he but two reasons
for this ordinance. First, it is desired
to give the position of superintendent
to some impecunious creature who has
no rich relatives, or. what is more
probable, the village desire to rebuke
their officers as the fellow did his dog.
by taunting him with being il ''mean
mans dog" What will he the next
animal to come under ordinance

A Bold Robbery.

The holdest robbery committed in
Boston for Il long time was perpetrated.
yesterday, ut the Merchants national
bank on State street. Alexander II.
McLaren having just been paid between
$1,000 and $1,000 had gone to Il desk to
count it, when 81 V knave approached
the desk, apparently to count some
money he had in his hand. Seemingly.
by accident. he dropped two - bills on
the floor, and in the act nudged Mr..
McLaren in the shoulder. McLaren
looked down, whereupon the knave
reached over McLaren's shoulder and
snatching Il package of money contain
ing $1,000. scampered off with it. Nc
Laren was confused, and instead of
giving chase or calling tor help began
to count his money again, to see if he
had actually lost any. The young man
got off and hasn't been heard from
since.

HENRY Il. SHELLEY. Adjt.-General.
The Murder of Rev. Mr.. Stephens.

The particulars of the murder of tine
missionary. Stephens. hy tanatical
mob at Ahualulco. in Mexico. are re-
lated 10y his colleague ut Guadalaiara.
Rev. Daniel +. Watkins. in Il letter to
the secretary of the American board
Mr.. stephens had been three months in
AhuaIulco. which was called one of the
most liberal towns in the state of ,Jalis-
60. and he had gained great esteem
among the people. so that the cura WAS
Infatuated at his success. The dav be
fore the murder. he preached an exert
Ing sermon to the numerous Indians
who had gathered there from the vari-
ous ranches and pucblaS near by. in
which he said: lit is necessary to cut
down even to the roots of the tree that
bears bad fruit. Iou may interpret
these words as You please" And on
March ID. ut o'clock in the morning.
a mob of over 200 men. armed with
muskets. axes. clubs and swords. ap-
preached the house where Mr.. stephens
lived. crying. Long live the religion :,
Long live the Senior Curu Death to
the ProteStants =, Mr.. Stephens sought
refuge i'll ii haylott. but seeing soldiers
in the mob. came out, CRYING to them.
Protect me-" They and the mob they
were with ut once discharged their
muskets. killing Mr.. Stephens instant
ly: and. when they reached him. they
cut his head literally in pieces with
their swords, and dug the brains ont
with sticks. After this barbaritv. they
stripped his body, robbed his house.
and burned his books in the plaza :;
winding up all by ringing the church
bells i'll triumph. Mr.. Watkins adds
that he believes his assassination was
intended at the same time. and adds:
The governor sent 300 soldiers to
Ahualulco on Monday. the day on which
the deed was committed, and they are
there still. as from 30 to 40 men who
were i'll the mob, together with the
cura. are being tried. The cura's life
will probably he saved, notwithstanding
that he is virtually the author of the
CRIME. We are at present
in great danger. 1t is said that the
priests have at their disposal the bands
of thieves and robbers that infest the
roads at present. These bands number
from 100 to 500 men, and are doing all
IN their power to bring about a revolu-
ton. The authorities have placed a
policeman in our house. and another on
the outside, as special watch.

The Mayor of Burlington has lately

has appointed a committee of 100 citi-

accomplishing this work is near at hand /;
and the committee will proceed at once

CROQUET.-One of the best evidences
of the intrinsic merits of Croquet. is the
fact that it has become really the Ma
tional game. more universally popular
than any other ever known. in spite of
the utter want of any acknowledged
authority for the method of playing. 1t
is fact that the playing is not governed
by any acknowledged authority on one
ground in twenty throughout the conn
try. and hence its interest is largely lost
or destroyed.
We have before us copy of the tlIir-
teenth edition of Croquet, its Principles
and Rules, by Prof. y. Rover. 1t is
concise and systematic, while it is COM
plete and exhaustive, and is somewhat
original in its treatment of the questions
of double points. the BOBBY, the finch,
&c. 1t also in this edition presents Il
