treat the disease, but that it would be
severe. The Vice President gave con-
sent. After ether had been poured along
the spine for many minutes, hot irons
were applied in the same manner as to
Senator Sumner after the Brooks assault
in the Senate, The Vice President says
that he did not feel the application of
the hot irons, but after the anasthetic
effects had passed he felt relief. The
day of his attack he says he felt most
excruciating pain along the spine and
especially at the base of the brain. He
presumed it was the result Of cold and
thought warm bath would benefit him.
1t was then that he was overcome by the
excessive suffering he had undergone
The Vice President said that he could
not have endured his suffering another

attack to which he had to succumb he
felt his vital force giving rapidly away,
and that the moment of the attack SEEM

Wilson

The death of Henry Wilson, vice
President of the United States, though
not strange from his health year past
and recent illness, will nevertheless take
the country by surprise, as all indica,
tions for few days past, including an
interview with him given in another
part of this paper, were that he would
recover to some extent
By his death another statesman has
gone who has filled prominent and i'm
portant position in the public affairs of
the country the past thir years. Mr.
Wilson's early life is well known. He
contended with bitter poverty, but never
gave up honor and the right On one
occasion he said he "knew what it was
to ask mother for bread when she had
none to give" His early life was Of the
hardest daily manual labor, but the eve
nings were given to books, and he thus
became a selfeducated man of the peo-
pie, and during his public life, the peo
pie, the lowly and the enslaved he never
forgot He stood the test in the dark
days of the anti-slavery cause, and was
among the earliest champions of freedom
i'll the senate, where he first took his seat
in 1855, when the slave oligarchy threat
ened and often resorted to personal vio-
lence The next day after the assault
by Brooks on Sumner, Wilson, though
in the minority and amid the pro-slavery
power of that day, stood up in the sem
ate and denounced the assault, in the
face of threats and uproar, declaring
the act as brutal, murderous and cow
ardly.' For this Brooks challenged
him to a duel, to which Wilson made
his famous reply, that while he did not
believe in dueling. he did believe in self |
defence in its br0adest sense"
He was born Feb. 8, 1912, and was
therefore nearly Ga years Of age. His
public life was one of unquestionable
honesty and intregity, and his death is
a great public loss for which the nation
most sincerely mourns.

CONSOLIDATION OF CoLLEcrroN

CONSOLIDATION OF COLLECTION DIS.
TRrcTs. BY an order of the President
issued on Friday last, the two internal
revenue collection districts of the State
have been consolidated into one, with
Charles B. Dana, of St, Johnsbury, as
collector, to be known hereafter as the
Third District. The old third collection
district, of which Hon. John L. Mason
succeeded A. j. Crane as collector, EN-.
braced the counties of Chittenden, Rut.

Washington, Franklin and Grand Isle.
Similar consultations have been effected
in other States, and the change discharg.
es from the public service forty -four col
lectors and assessors of internal revenue
with their deputies and clerical assistants
1t is estimated that the movement will
save the government upwards Of half a
million of dollars annually.

dent Wilson's death was apoplexy, or
the bursting of blood vessel, and the
death stroke probably came upon him
as he raised up TO drink the bitter water.
lie died without struggle, and there
was no marks of pain about his face, but
he lay as if in a peaceful sleep, and the
body remained in that position until
nearly 8 clock, and those who saw it
before it had been arranged by the un
dertaker in the form of death saw that
it could scarcely be told that the spirit
had fled.
Some fear has been expressed that
Mr. Wilson was not properly cared for.
He had buried his wife and only child
a son, and no relatives were vita him
and no woman cared for him in his
last illness, but it does not appear that
he was neglected.

PRICE OF A Kiss The price of an
Involuntary kiss, on board of railroad
train, appears to be just one thousand
dollars, according to recent decision of
the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. A
lady took passage on the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway, and was forcibly
kissed by the conductor of the train.
She sued the company and obtained a
verdict for one thousand dollars damage
The company appealed to the court of
final resort, and it has been decided that
A railroad company is bound to pro.
tect female passengers on its trains from
all indecent approach or assault and
where conductor on a company's train
makes such an assault on female pas

dict of 81 900 damages for the Insult
offered by defendants conductor to the
plaintiff in this case, is held not so ex-
cessive as to authorize the court to set it
aside" So let all railroad employees as

M. Ball, young man of IS years, en-
pIoyed on the farm of Mr.. Perry. in
Westfeld, has been accustomed to drink

draught, something came up in his
throat, choking him, and he fell over
senseless. A son of Mr.. Perry was sur,

as thick as two fingers of a mans hand

SHOCKING DEATH. A shocking death
was that of Theodore Bodine, a farmer
of Junius, N. Y. on Saturday week. He
was feeding a threshing machine. In
some manner a coil Of fence wire became
mixed with the oats and was thrown in
to the machine unseen by the farmer.
One end Of the wire fastened around the
cylinder Of the thresher and the other
caught about Mr.. Bodines neck and
drew him to the machine, when. the
aperture being too small to admit of the
entire body passing in, the head was
literally torn from it and passed through
1t was not until the bloody head came
out at the other end that the fate of the
farmer was discovered, when the men
who were attending to that part of the
machine stopped the horses, and going
back found the headless trunk of Mr.
Bodlne lying upon the barn floor.
