A MYSTERIOUS HURDLE FouND ~ riERNoNr.
The dead calm in news incident TO tho Barre
burglary experienced slight mnle last week.
through tho arrival u Sheriff Bailey, last Thurs
day, with a mysterious bundle, which IL supposed
to have some connection with the affair II con-
tains two pairs Of false whissers black, tho
other gray; a portion Of q knit drawers log; n
Scotch cap; new pair Of Arctics" a muddy
pair Of leather slippers; and two pair. Of wooden
aud two pairs Of cotton stockings. also muddy
These were all wrapped In a blue jumper"
The bundle was found on the 18th Of October by
Mr. L. T. Andres, Of piornont, while chopping in
the woods, short distance from the brook road,
leading from Piemont bridge to Wentworth, and
about three miles from the bridge lie wrote at
once To Sheriff Bailey, who went and took pos
session Of the property. Carlcy does not Identify
the bundle, and says II Miles had any such things
with him, he did not know IT, The route taken
by Miles and Curley, on the morning after the
burglary was past the spot where It was found,
and Curley says they stopped q few miles be-
You'd Picrnont bridge, and that he left the team
Tor few minutes What Miles did in his alb
sence, he does not know Il win be remembered
that among the stun found in tho woods near
where Doctor Whitiemore met Miles and Cur
ley was portion Of pair Of drawers Il may be
that the drawers leg in the bundle may fit ON to
that, and In that case, connection will be
established with the burglary

AMERICAN OFFICERS FORTIFYING
CHINA.

The Americans appear to be regard
ed by the Jealous Chinese with more
favor than any other barbarians, and
the Government Of China has appoint
ed a large number of Americans to
command the Chinese armies, which
are to be remodeled on the European
plan. From recent news 1t appears
that this Jealous and exclusive govern
ment is turning its attention to the de-
fence of its coasts, rivers and harbors.
The American artillerists and naval Of
ficers IN the service Of China deputed
to visit Europe for the purpose Of su-
perintending the building of torpedo
ships, purchase of guns, ETC., are now
on their way to Pekin. The torpedo
vessels, similar in construction to
those so successfully used in the james
river during the recent civil war IN
America, have been built on the
Thames, London, and are now ready to
be despatched, In addition to a number
of Krupp and Armstrong guns, with
their necessary ammunition. The first
Of the formidable series of defences
contemplated by the government of
Pekin will be erected on the Peiho
river. OF course it is useless to pro-
test against these ornaments and de
fences, which are probably destined to
be battered down by "the barbarous,"
aud at no distant time. Only, the
Chinese by that time viii have been
taught by their foreign instructors how
to defend them. 1t is like selling rifles
and bowie knives to tn Indians.
