in speaking of the civil damage law in
Vermont the Vermont Witness in noticing
the recent trial of Mrs NJ. +. Smith of
Halifax in Windham county says, "the
presiding judge who presided at the court
where this award was given, and who en-
phttlcally pronounced the law as just, was
then chairman of the senate committee and
reported against it in 1868" This is a mis-
take, Judge Barrett presided at the trial,
and was not Il member of the senate in
1868. Judge Wheeler was member of
the senate Of 1868, but was not chairman
of the committee on the judiciary.

In Bennington last Friday after
noon Mrs. Emelinc Dryer came to the de-
pot from Cohoes and stated to those she
met that she had no money and no place to
go Dan Shaw escorted her TO station .,

| children, on the town of Bennington ever
since She has been able to obtain work
only Il day or two at a time. At last the
oyerseer of the poor of the town told her
If she went to Troy he would pay her fare.
After a talk over the matter she was given
ten dollars by Mr.. Noycs, overseer of the
poor of Bennington and her baggage paid
to Troy, and now that city has whole
family on its hands. She told Troy Press
living, besides those with her. and she
had buried three, making eleven in
all. She said she had been married
twcnty-six years, and was first married
by Il justice of the peace, but last fall she
was married again to her husband in the
Catholic church. She was thirteen years

years unmarried. She says her first born
daughter is dead, and that was born eigh-
teen months after she was married and
would be eighteen years of age had she
lived until now. The woman made these
conflicting statements at different times
evidently forgetting that she had answered
the questions before. The story of hel
having been sent to Troy by the overseel
of the pooris the only part she tells straight
