Barre Bank Robbery.

The examination of Peter Alphonso one
of the Barre Bank burglars, was held be-
fore Justice Carlos Carpenter, at Barre, OH
Wednesday, The valises which the man
left in the train at Rumney, II. N, were
in court. They are small leather satchels,
such as men use in making short journeys,
and contained one of Colton's township
maps of Vermont, railway guide, knit
Cardigan jacket, Scotch cap, dirk knife,
files and tools generally used by bank bur-
glars. The Scotch cap and Cardigan jacket
were wet; as il they had been worn in the
rain, and Mr.. King, the cashier, says that
one of the burglars had such jacket on
when at tie bank, aud Mr.. King identifies
the dirk knife as his. Dr. Wht,emore of
Wentworth testified that when on his way
to West Rumney, Wednesday morning, he
overlook double team on the highway ;
two men who were with the team applied
to him for oil, rs they had set on one of
the wheels; that he produced wrench
and some oil and helped them grease their
wheels. The doctor Identifies Alphonso
as one of the men, and the team as that of
ID. w. Dudley Of Montpelier, which the
burglars used that night, He says he also
saw the men come from bushes by the road,
and there have since been found secreted
in bushes a rubber coat and brown over
coat that Mr.. King identified as his that
was taken from his hand by the burglars
on the night of the robbery. Another wit
ness Identifies the respondent as beng the
one who was with the team when it was
left at a hotel in West Rumnoy. When
the respondent was arrested he had about
S25 in money and fine gold watch and
chain and package of cartridges, which
fitted five chamber revolver that was
found where Alphonso leaped from the car.
The banks at Montpelier have made Mr..
Bailey, the sheriff, present of $50 for his
prompt efforts in arresiiDg the burglar
The examination is not yet closed, but

possible that he could have seen things as
ordinary mortals see them. When five
years old he told Mrs. Horn, one afternoon,
that she was expecting the immediate re-
turn of Mi toin home from work, which
she admitted, bat he said he saw him gong
another way, and, sure enough, Mr.. Horn
disappeared, that day, and has never been
seen since. Young Horn has since been
employed frequently to discover what no

his favor, and has done lots Of little odd

He does not set very high value on his
power, and his mother has repeatedly re-
fused to have lin exhibited for profit,
though he picks up considerable pin money.
IL is always necessary to ask him questions,
in order TO get the desired information, but
he expects TO so develop in year or two
as to dispense with them. His gift some
times seems TO be that Of mind-reading, for
he often fails to give the required answer
when the questioner is not thinking intent
ly of the subject but this theory of course
does not account for the discovery Of oh.

A Clergyman Repulsed.

Says New York newspaper: The bale
full influence of the Beecher scandal has de-
stroyed the confidence hitherto reposed in
the cloth. In the rural districts this effect
is alarmingly noticeable. On sunday last
this distrust deprived an cstimable West
chester matron of the opportunity, to her
most dear, of attending divine service in
the church of her choice. The scene is a
pleasant little village not many miles from
Mount Kisco, and the minister and lady
are near neighbors, their respective resi-
dences being separated only by the width
of the main street. The minister is middle
aged, good natured and favorite. II was
his custom every Sunday to give his estim-
able parishioner seat in tie family car
rage, so that she might not have to walk
half mile TO the church. On Sunday the
domines carriage drew up in front of the
lady's door. She was waiting, and busting
down, prepared to get in, declining the
parsons protfered aid. Suddenly she no.
ticed that he was alone. "Where is your
wife?" she asked abruptly. "She is not
well enough to go to church to-day was
the reply. "Where is your daughter ~
was the next query, and the answer was
'She stayed at home to take care of her
mother" An instant of hesitation fol-
lowed. The lady turned her back upon
her pastor saying, 81 guess won't go to

about nowadays" She is ninety years of

hardly want to be the umpire to decide this
controversy, but, if we were, we could
point out certain community in New
England where the theory that marriage is

fourteen months. That is stability-how
