The distributing post-oflice is the
plum for his pains. This little cozy
post office is located in the business
center of the burnt district, at what is
now known as Chester depot, : Of a
mile from Chester, and on the Cent
raj Vermont railroad hach. They
are thrifty goahead little commun-
ity, good conrersationists, and nobody
begrudges them the convenience OF a
post office, in fact, they should be up
held in having little one, but what
makes old grandmother Chester hut
ter, is the fact that the old woman is,
under the present arrangement, oblig-
oil to woit for her n,oil como two and
a half hours longer than has been her
custom for the past 20 years or more.
The next thing in the way of humila-
ton may be the distribution of our
friends through the little post office
and at the convenience of the post
master. DEMING.

"A noted hunter of South Hero
has a shot gun that scatters shot badly.
A while ago he saw an advertisement
in city paper offering to send infor-
nation on the receipt of fifty cents,
whereby scattering" of shot could be
effectually prevented. He sent the
money, and was informed that to pre-,
vent his gun from scattering he should
"put in only one..shot." So says the

CONCLUSION.
The feeling in Windsor concerning
this distressing affair is profound. Mr..
Donoghue was 40 years of age, and
leaves wife and nine children.
Mr.. Vim is 81 years Of age, is an
industrious, kind-hearted farmer,
whose relation to this affair, as 1t ap-
pears in evidence, exeites the most
painful sensations. He is well known
in Woodstock and vicinity, he having
married a sister of Capt. II. N. Bruce,
of Pomfret, for his first wife. Citi-
zens who have visited him in jail here,
say he is a good clean looking man.
He is in the hands of the law, and
justice will be done.

The efficacy of Perry Davis ~orld-renown
Pain Killer in all diseases of the bowels

convincing authority. Missionaries in China

carry conviction to the most skcptical, while
its popularity in communities nearer home is
ample proof that the virtues claimed for it are
real and tang iblc. Among family medicines
it stands unrivaled.- Courier.

RELIEF WAS IMMEDIATE

The Windsor Homicide.

One of the most distressing criminal
events that ever occurred in the Con-
necticut Valley, took place last week
in Windsor, Vt.
The lifeless body of William A.
Donoghue of Windsor, VT, was found
by the roadside, on the hill just west
of Mr.. Cyrus Wheeler's house, on
Wednesday evening, February 18th,
between five and six o'clock.
THE DISCOVERY.
1t appears that son of Mr.. Donog-
hue who was on his way to his grand
fathers house, William Donoghue,
Esq, long and well known in his day
in Windsor County, and approaching
the brook in the ravine, at the foot of
the hill, he discovered his fathers
oxen drinking, and, looking for his
father, asked a neighbor, Mr.. James
b. VIM who was near, where he was.
On reply that he was back on the
side of the road, he asked what the
matter was, to which Mr.. VIM said,
'the same as usual" meaning, as it
was understood, that he was intoxica
ted. The young man drove the oxen
back and found his father lying by the
roadside, with his hat partly covering
his face. On raising the hat, he dis
coved that his head and face were
bloody. He lifted the body to the
sled and supported it as well as he
could till he reached home, not dream
ing of his death. His wound, in con-
nection with appearance, startled the
family, and Dr.. Stevens of Browns
vile was called who pronounced him
dead
