Shocking Tragedy.
The hesaramento papersgive accounts

The Sacramento papemgive accounts
ofa terrible tragedy that occurred the
day before at Dutch Flat from which
we condense as follows: Charles Cal
hotm, d resident ofDuch Flat, became
acquainted with a young widow OF
that place about four months ago, and
immediately began paying his address
ses to her with q view to marriage.
His addresses were discouraged by
the lady In question in every way,
and when the suitor made a formal
demand for her hand, he met with a
decided refusal. But Calhoun, undis-
couraged. set to work with success to
induce the parents to intercede for him,
all the time continuing his attentions.
The persistence Of the lover with the
aid of the parents at last overcome the
lady's opposition, but not her dislike,
and two weeks ago they were married.
A marriage Under such circumstances
could not but be unhappy. Very soon
after the union the husband exhibited
Jealousy toward his wife. The fires Of
Jealousy grew fiercer day by day, until
on the morning OF Saturday. February
2Sth. goaded to frenzy by the green
eyed monster, Calhoun shot his wife
before she had risen from her bed, she
shot taking effect in her right eye,
which it destroyed, and inflicted
wound which, ifnot mortal, is certainly
very serious. Having, as he supposed
killed his wife, the desperate man then
placed the pistol to his own head and
fired. killing himself instantly. His
remains were deposited In the grave |
the next day. 'aa

Death Of Charles Sau..ner.

~ r.. .
Genator Sumner died at his residenct
In Washington City, at three O'Clock
on the afternoon of Wednesday. March
lIth. 1874. Senator Summer was born
in Boston, Massachusetts,, January
9Th, 1871, and therefore was but little
past tsixty-thee years ofage. He grad
,Iated at Harvard College In 1880 with
distinction, and in lSS4he commenced
the practice OF law In Boston. He
acted with the old Whig party up to
lS45 when, opposing the annexation
OF Texas, he separated himself from
that party and joined his fortunes with
the Free Sellers. Tnls5O, BY 4 coalition
Of Democrats and Free Soilers. he was
e.ectedto The seat In the U. 8. Senate
made vacant by the exceptancy Of the
portfolio Of Secretary OF State, under
Fillmore, by Daniel Webster. For
nearly twenty-tour years he has occu
pied this position, which has now be-
come vacant by his death. In 1856 he
made his great speech on the Kansas
question, and the aggressions Of the
slave power. Two days after the de-
livery of this speech, he was assaulted
In his place In the Senate Chamber,
and severely beaten by Preston s.
Brooks, from the effects of which. It is
said he never entirely recovered. This
assault made by Brooks upon Sumner
did more to arouse the conscience of
the people Of the country on the sub
ject of slavery than all the speeches on
the subject ever made. During the
war he stood faithfully by his country,
and bitterly fought every measure that
looked to the least concession to sia-
very. When Grant was nominated
for second term, Sunner made a Bit
ter attack upon him, ending by separat-

From the St. Johnsbury Farmer,
Col. Mead for COngreSSma

Farmers, you will soon have an Oh.
portunity to say something in the matter
of the next congressman from this dis
srict, and the name Of Col. John B.
Mead of Randolph, is among those to
choose from. We believe he will be first.
last, and only choice of he farmers and
temperance men of this district, and we
trust the matter will be talked over and
considered well by them before the eau
cusses or the convention. The time has
COME when the people of this state-the
workers-are able to carry an election.
Let the farmers, every one who loves re-
form, every one who believes in the right
of those who do the work of the world
to rule in council, come out to these pri-
mary meetings, and not only that but
get their neighburs to come, SO that there
may be at least one election in Vermont
in which the people choose their servant,
instead of merely ratifying the decree Of
few who attend the caucus and "run T"
it for selfish end.
Col. Mead is Christian gentleman
who proves his faith by his works, and
is always atwork. He is not a rich man,
and has no money to use in securing an
election, and would n, use it if he had.
He is above such a suspicion. We
would call attention to the extract from
the Springfield Republican in another
column, which seems to us to present the
claims of the friends of Mr.. Mead in
their true light. Farmers of Vermont,
come forth and let the world see that for
once you can carry the day in elections
in the interest of right and justice; that
the farmers are united, and can pull to.
gether, and the day is yours Don't lei
it be said that money and personal influ.
ence can carry elections in Vermont any
longer, but let us elect the best, purest
and most honorable men, men whose
sympathies are down within the reach OF
the working people of the state. 1t can
be done; shall it?
We have no personal animosities
against the present member on the con
trary our personal relations with him
are the most cordial, and we acknowl
edge our obligation to him for yariou,
favors, but we favor the nomination O
Col. Mead from a conscientious belief
that he will best represent the interests
of our readers and the farming com
munity in general.

The County Convention.

The republican county convention at
Fayetteville on Tuesday. was one of the
most quiet and harmonious for many
years. The only discussion of the day
was on the motion to admit gentleman
from one town as delegate from anoth-
er, and there we're but two ballottings,
and the work of the convention was con-
cluded at 20 minutes past 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, the entire list of nomina-
tions having been made in about fifty
minutes. Whatever contests had been
expected were fought out in the caucus
es at home.
The nominees are we'll known, and
most of them have many times before
been placed in places of trust and re-
sponsibility in which they have faith
fully discharged theirduties.

The New Rankrupt Bill.

The principal points of the new bank
rupt bill, as it has now been passed by
both the Senate aud the House, was as
follows: Forty days are allowed to
eiapse before merchant or trader who
fails to pay his commercial paper Is liza
bic TO be thrown into bankruptcy. The
assent of one-fourih in number and one
third in value of creditors is required to
throw debtor into bankruptcy. This
provision relates back to the first Of last
December. Proceedings may be discon-
tined whenever the debtor pays those Sc
cured debts which we're the ground of
throwing him into bankruptcy, or when
ever with the consent of the court he
and majority of the creditors shall ask
for discontinuance of the proceedings.
In order to set aside hypothecated
pledges on liens ON the bankrupt's es-
tate, it must appear that the party deal
ing with the bankrupt knew that he in
tended to perpetrate fraud upon the
bankrupt law, and that he intended to go
into bankruptcy, When loan is made
to bankrupt in good faith, and securi-
ty taken with the intention of aiding him
to pull through, it shall be considered as
having actual value, and the security
shall not be invalidated by proceedings
in bankruptcy. A voluntary bankrupt
may have his discharge if his estate pays
thirty per cent of his debts or provid-
ed he obtains the assent of the same
number of his creditors as is necessary
to throw him into bankruptcy. An in.
voluntary bankrupt can get his discharge
if his conduct is free from all fraud and
he is innocent of any violation or in
fringment of the bankrupt act. As
signees are prohibited from dividing fees
with Others engaged in the case. Com.
promises by creditors may be male with
the assent of the debtor, providing a
majority of the creditors join, where APP
proved by the court, for the release and
discharge Of the debt. The fees and ex.
penses are reduced one-half until the
judges of the supreme court shall estab-
fish permanent reduction and simplify
proceedings. All the acts of the PEE
sons connected with the execution of the
law shall be made public in the shape of
full and minute reports from the clerk,
the assignee, the marshal and the register.

A YoUNG HERo.-Let the papers of
the day pass around the name Of Lewis
Smodell, the boy hero of thirteen years
of age. One week ago the Times pub
lished an account of the lads rescue
of his sisters from drowning, at the haz.
ard of his own life. To-day it is ours to
chronicle still greater feat performed
by this young champion Of good and
noble deeds. On Saturday afternoon
two of the boys little si.ters, aged four
and six years, rolled down the bank into
the river in about FIVE feet of water, and
but few rods above the very verge of
the dreaded Saltwater rapids. The hero
of few days ago was engaged at the
opportune moment, in a shop which pro-
jects out over the swift rushing waters,
and faDcying that be heard peculiar
noise emanate from that quarter, he
stepped to the door and saw his two lit
tie sisters strangling and struggling and
being hurled mercilessly towards their
doom. Lewis quickly saw that if the
children were to be saved his arm must
do it. He was standing on a platform
twenty feet above the surface of the wa
ter, but he took the leap, went under,
and soon appeared directly between the
two children. Then commenced strug-
gle for life. His cries for help we're un.
heard and the water was above the bows
head. We cannot give better sequel
to the termination Of this affair than to
use the lads own words to the writer.
