BANK BURGLARY.
Bold Attempt to Rob the Barre,
VT, Bank.
Burglars FOiled by Chronometer Lock.

MONTPELIER, VT, July About midnight
last night the Cashier of the Barre National
Bank, at Barre, was aroused from his sleep by
four men, who after binding and gagging his
wife and daughter, and putting handouts on
him him and halter around his neck, forced
him to go and open the bank. The bank vault
having chronometer lock, set to open at nine
o'clock in the morning, the rascals had to aban-
don the attempt to enter it. They secured,
however, abovt $1,000 in unsigned bills, which
were outside, and some $40 in money. They
then returned to the house with their prisoner,
pinioned him to the floor, and absconded. He
succeeded in getting sufficiently free to give an
alarm about half an hour afterwaId, when pur-
suit was Immediately instituted.
One of the Burglars Captured.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July lone of the
Barre, Vt, bank robbers was captured this aft
ternoon short distance from Quincy station,
and about half mile from where he jumped
from the train. He was fearfuly bruised, hav
ing bad wound over the eye and several bad
bruises on his body and legs He refuses to
give his name or tell where he is from. He
gave his age as % years, but looks older. He is
about five feet nine inches high, very solid
built, weighs about 1856 pounds, has light blue
eyes, rather scrowling, heavy moustache, and
taken altogether he is rather a tough looking
customer to run afoul of, and if he had not been
wounded he would have given the officers a
hard tussle before they captured him. He will
be taken to Wells River tonight and then to
Barre in the morning. There were four con-
cerned in the robbery. 1t is understood they
only got 1880 in bills, and part of these were
not signed. The other robber that got off the
train has not been seen or heard from up to
this time $50 p. M, but it is thought he cannot
be far off and will be captured

Prof, Langsfon ON the Duties of the Col
0red Race.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-At the Fourth cele-
bration at Hillsdale, near Washington, by the
colored people, Prof. Langston said he was
there to declare his independence for all who
were his followers. The hour is coming when
we must throw off this yoke of oppression and
stand up for our own rights as freemen The
signs of the times demand that we shall prove
our fitness for all the duties of citizenship. The
hour IS come when we must manage our own
institutions. If we have colored churches,
then give us eolored preachers. If we have
colored banks, we must have colored bankers.
If we have coloted schools, let us have our own
teachers. If we have colored colleges, we de-
mand tibet we have our own officers. We have
played the second fiddle too long; we want and
must have change for the better.

PARALYZED.

The telegraph this morning brings
the sad intelligence of the prostration
of ex. President johnson by paralytic
stroke last Wednesday evening at the
residence of his daughter in Carter
county, Tennessee. His condition is
said to be critical and his recovery
doubtful
The death of Andy Johnson at the
present time would be almost national
calamity. Last winter he was elected
United States Senator from Tennessee,
and it would be impossible to fill his
place in the Senate at the present time.
Fearless and independent, and with
full knowledge of what TRANSFERRED at
Washington for several years in the
Radical councils, it has been expected
that at the next session of the Senate
he would throw much light upon the
secret workings of the Administration,
and expose the raseality of its corrupt
members. His election terrified those
who took an active part in bis I'M
peachment, and to many Republicans
the presence of the devil ON the floor
of the Senate would be preferred to
that of Andrew Johnson. We can only
hope that his life may be spared, aud
his health restored to enable him to
refute the ISLANDERS of his maligners
in Congress next winter, and strike ter
ror to the hearts of his enemies by
exposing their evil designs.

The foundation for the new school

an outline of the proposed structure it
sxcites comment aud provokes criti-
cism. A communication from "Cith
zen," whose attention was first at
tracted to the subject last evening, ap-
pears in another column. The writer
says it is eighty feet long and twenty
two feet wide, and viii, when COM
pleted, resemble a railroad wood shed.
He thinks that some action should be
taken in the matter by the citizens, and
that a school-house should be built
which will display architectural taste in
design and finish. We commend the
communication to the careful consid-
GRAFTON of our citizens, and as it is not
yet too late to correct any mistakes
that may have been made, suggest any
changes that may be necessary at
once. A school house should be orna-
mental as we'll as useful, and, in the
opinion of Citizen it will, when
completed lack great deal of being the
former.
