GEN. RUTHERFORD b. HAYES, the
governor elect of Ohio, has good idea
of business. While he was with his reg.
iment during the war he was nominated
for Congress, and when the district com.
mittee urged him to come home and at
tend to the canvass, replied, Il have
other business. Any man who would
leave the army now to electioneer for
Congress or any other place ought to be
scalped." After the war closed he ac.
cepted an election to Congress and served
four years, and was then elected govern.
or for two terms and has attended to the
business of these offices with great credit
to himself and his constituents. He has
beaten the strongest men that have beer
pitted against these times, and his --latest
success has brought him into the list O.

Barre Bank Robbers.

Barre Bank ltoDDers'
George Miles alias George White was
removed to the State prison at Windsor
last Monday, for more safe keeping. Ii
is also announced that White has been
identified as George Hicks who helped
Shinborn TO escape from prison at Con
cord, N. H. Whites bail has been re-
duced to $4,000 This appears to have
been secured mainly through the efforts
of Charles Il. Arnold, formerly of Bel.
lows Falls, who stated that White had
no such wealth as had been reported. A
New York physician also put in an aft
davit that White was afflicted with and
had been under treatment for kidney
disease, and that confinement would be
very injurious to his health. If all the
things now said of White both to keep
him inside and outside the Jail, be true,
he will prove very wonderful case.
A dispatch from Montpelier, last Fri
day, describes an attempt to escape as
follows:
1t has Just leaked out that a most des-
perate plot was concocted few days ago
by the friends of George Miles, the Bar
re bank burglar, which had for its oh.
ject the release from Montpelier jail of
this notorious individual 1t appears
4
that certain parties, who are friends of
Mics, and some prominent officials
about whom if Miles chose to squeal,"
it would put them behind the prison
bars, got together a fund of about three
hundred dollars to pay expenses, and
sent two or three professionals to
Montpelier, to be there when Mr.. Som
erville, the attorney for Miles from New
York, should be there to consult with
his client The plot was that when Mr.
Somerville should go to the Jail to be
admitted to talk with Miles, at least two
of these professionals should enter
with him.
The small passageway from the main
street to the jail door, which opens di-
rectly into the large room where the
prisoners are permitted to ramble when
not locked up, is place well adapted
for professionals " to crowd into, when
a job for French leave is in contem-
plation. The door leading into this
room swings inwardly, and is about u
feet from the outer world.
From reliable authority, it is learned
that these men who came to Montpelier,
were to go to the Jail with Mr.. Somer-
vile. Two Of them were to go into the
Jail with him, the three were to block up
the narrow passageway when passing
along with The jailer, and when the gra-
ted iron door leading into the room was
opened and swung inward, a sudden
rush was to be made by Miles into the
passage, the professionals were to be
awful awkward, " and impede any pur-
suit for the moment, and the others on
the outside were to complete the job by
getting Miles quickly away.
Detective Wiggin got wind of this
plot, and the officials at Montpelier were
duly cautioned by telegraph, to keep a
strong guard both outside and in the
jail when Mr.. Somerville should arrive
This they did, The gang put in an APP
pearance, saw the unfavorable situa-
tion," both outside and in the Jail, the
plot dropped to the ground. they left
Montpelier and went home to New York,
and reported "what sharp set of fell
lows those Vermont chaps are" The
$500 raised for expenses went for naught.

The tracks of a gig or team of some
kind have been found in field six hun
bred feet beyond. Some suppose them
to have been made by Magoon's son Asa,
who got home half an hour later than
the old man, at $50 p. M, and who has
been arrested but released.
1t is said that Magoon's whip was
found in the road near, and this, with
evidenceproc at his house is thought
to be such as will convict him.

The reports of the Barre murder put
it down as among the most atrocious and
horrible, and enough of this it certainly
is, but it is likely to prove to be rum
debauch, and in horror and human de-

the Ball murder at St. Adams or the
more recent murder of Josie Langmaid
at Suncook.
