sad Accident.

A singular and probably fatal accident
befel Charles Wheeler of st. Johnsbury,
young man about twenty yeas cid, on
Thursday of last week. He was at work
for Moses b. ShoreY, and at this time was
engaged in repairing the highway. During
a shower, young Wheeler with others, took
refuge in the barn of widow Barnard, near
by, and while waiting for the rain to cease
one or more of the party attempted some
gymnastics, at which Wheeler was an eX-
pert. After turning several s0mersets, by
some error of judgment or blunder, in
stead of striking on his feet, young
Wheeler struck upon the back of his
head and doubled his neck under him. The
doctors think there is dislocation of the
second vertebra of the neck, and unless the
dislocation can be reduced they have no
hope of his life He is already paralyzcd,
and unable to move more than his fingers a
very little. lie is perfectly conscious and
aware of his condition, and requests that

Howe, on Center street, vas entered by
burglars on Thursday night. Entrance
was effected through window in the rear,
the top OF which had been left down the
night before, and which is some distance
from the ground below. The parties, it is
believed, used a wagon which was under
the shed near by, and mounting on that
were enabled to scale the wall to the place
of egress. The money drawer in the front
store was wrenched open, the lock torn off
in the attempt, and some 50 in money
taken therefrom. Nothing else is known
to have been taken, but undoubtedly the
thieves helped themselves literally to con-
fectionery with which several tables were
loaded in the rear room, that had just been
manufactured. They also might have
taken some cigars in the store, but of this
there is no positive evidence.

THE FREEZE MURDER CASE.
More Revelations Expected.

Samuel Ehrlick of Boston, who does
business at No. 500 Washington street, re-
siding at No. SO Windsor street. testified
before Judge Everts on Friday, that on the
10th day of June. 1874 at about / 1 o'clock
in the forenoon a man came into my store
in Boston and sold me three rings, one |
call an onyx, one a chased gold ring and
one Masonic ring purchased the rings
and paid him five dollars for the three |
put the rings on the scale and weighed
them | was busy at the time; | think he
took the Masonic ring from his finger and
did not notice where he took the other
rings from; the rings now produced by
Messrs. Stcarns and Thornton are the
same | purchased as above stated have
seen John p. Phair in the Jail at Rutland
this morning and am positive he is the
man who sold me the rings; knew him
by his face and general appearance, also by
his clothes and hat recollect that when
he took off the ring thought he was a
Mason and took more notice of him than
is usual on that account
MORE REVELATIONS EXPECTED.
The web around Phair seems to be draw
ing closer, and the vigilance of officers n.
S. Stearns and ]. G. Thornton is to be com
mended. We have reason to think that
from the further investigation to be made
that some astounding facts will be revealed
which will fix an identity upon Phair that
will show that he had no accomplish what
ever, but alone, with cool generalization
of weeks, he had contemplated the honi-
bic decd of numbering one who placed most
implicit confidence in him, and that he be-
trayed a trust committed to him several
days before the murder. In the future
revelations the mystery of the money will
also, undoubtedly, be satisfactorily solved
and add another link TO the chain OF evil
dcnce against Phair.
