ANOTHER MURDER IN NEW HAMPsmRE,-
Tuesday morning, between five and six
o'clock, the dead body Of Deputy Sheriff
Wallingford was found in the road near the
fair ground, half mile from Milford, N. H..
His revolver lay near him with one chamber
discharged and filled with dirt and grass diff
ferent from any in the vicinity. lie had one
wound in the right side. The shot had
passed through his vest, leaving marks OF
powder, and as the garment had evidently
been unbuttoned after the shooting, and as
the pocket-book had been stolen, it is cot
supposed that he committed suicide. A Mrs
Stone, who lives near the place where the
body was found, says that she heard car
rage approach 1t about midnight and stop ;
heard pistol shot, and then heard the car
riage driven away. 1t is thought that he
may have been shot elsewhere, as there wal
no blood near the body, although package
of writs which were found in the vicinity
were soaked with it. Mr. Wallingford was
about sixty years old and leaves wife
daughter and two sons.

A YRRMoNTER BADLY SoLD.-W. S.

came to this city few days ago with the
laudable object of extending his knowledge
of the world by personal observation, putting
up at the American hotel While sitting at
the door, gazing leisurely on the scenes pass
ing in review before him, a respectfully
dressed young man accosted him and finally
persuaded him to take walk. On reach
ing the st Patrick's church this young man
began to show the Vermonter a box usually
called the magic box which can be opened
only by turning it upside down and rappng
at the bottom. While the two were exam
lining this affair confederate came OIL the
scene, and finally the Vermonter was induced
to bet his watch aud chain against S25 that
number three could not open the box, the re
suit being that the young man from the
Green Mountains returned to his hotel minus
his chronometer. lie was induced, however,
to inform the police, and the case was en-.
trusted to Laiou, who shortly afterwards ar.
rested the confidence men, who gave theii

Income from School Lands.

In most Vermont towns are school lands
which belong to the town, aud the income
of which is by law devoted to the support Of
schools. These school lands were generally
set apart as such in accordance with the
conditions of tho charters of the several
towns, but some of them were transferred
from other uses TO the use of schools by act
of the Legislature, and some are the gifts Of
individuals.
The state superintendent Of education has
sought to find the amount Of income from
such lands for the entire state. and furnishes
the following summary Of results
