Measures to be Taken TO Strike
Mexican Raiders q
Heavy Blow.
Probable Invasion OF Mexico by
Our. Citizen In Pursuit
Of Robbers.

WASHINGTON, March 29.--It will be
recollected that wlthil the last two
years the commissioners appointed to
examine and report upon the subject
Of outrages on the Texas border, made
several reports, in which they stated
the immense losses of property and
occasional murder of Texans whose
premises were invaded by MeXicans,
who made systematic raids on their
stock. Our government prepared a
formal complaint TO the Mexican gov
eminent, which was inefficient to pre-
vent.such depredatjons, but appointed
commissioner to ascertain the extent
of the alleged grievances. More than
a year has since elapsed and nothing
has been done by that government
to prevent the incursions. 1t
seems that the MeXicans on the Dor
der of the Rio Grande act independ-
emily of and pay little or no attention
to the home government, which is not
strong enough to restrain its border
citizens. On the representation of the
United States forces of cavalry were
stationed at points on the Rio Grande
to be used in cases of emergency for
the protection of our own citizens, but
owing to the long distances to be COW
cred and the cautious movements of
the raiders, the military have been un-
able to exercise the desired restraining
power and therefore the invasions
have continued until the present time
The reports of the commissioners were
communicated to congress by the pres
ident with u special message recon-
that action be taken, but congress did
nothing in the way of relief, leaving
the government to its own action. In
structions will Immediately be issued
through the war department to the
general commanding to take such ac-
ton as may be possible to strike the
raiders with heavy blow. Those best
conversant with affairs apprehend that
a general border war will ensue, in
which event the invasion of Mexico
by our armed citizens in pursuit of the
robbers is not among the improba bill
tipa

FIRE ANp RUsioRs or FIRES. Last Friday morn

the old Dcnison Dewey iln-shop, on the corner Of
State and Depot streets, which had just been
taken possession Of by Messrs L. c. Cumniins, 4

ScAREs FROM TRAMPs. The residents on the
upper end of Barre street were badly scared, last
Wednesday night, bya couple OF tramps. II seems
that Storrs Noyes, who lives a short distance west
OF sabin's, was going home soon after nine clock
in the evening and when opposite the residence
Of Charles Wells, noticed man lettering near by ;
going on a little farther, he came upon another
man; this second fellow, seeing Noyes approach,
started on Noyes closely followed, and the man
soon turned round and came this way Meeting
the first man, they both ran towards Clay hill by
kinsman's new house. The same night two men
attempted to break into Charles Silyer's house ON
Seminary hill Silver got up, grabbed stick Of
wood, and went ont just in time To see them dis
appear In the darkness Mr. Kinsman who Is
building new house, had some difficulty a few
days before with one Of his men, who threatened
revenge and II Is supposed that he may have in
stigated the burning OF his building. The night
police were brought up, aud a vigilant watch
was maintained all night
On Friday afternoon, Mrs John r. Dewey went
TO the piazza Of hcr house, to look after one Of her
children, and was astonished TO see tramp
emerge from the cear-way. lIedemanded some
tlnng 10 eat, which was furnished him, aud he
tnen departed. Mrs Dewey noticed two suspi-
cious looking individuals lettering about the state
house yard whom the tramp joined, and as soon
as they left, she ran u constable Tuttle's house
near by, On High street, and informed his family
OF the occurrence, Tramps are very numerous,
bold and Troublesome just now, and great care
should DO taken To faston doors aud windows boz
fore retiring.

known, went 10 Barre last week and collected
forty dollars for the benefit Of three widows living
in one house, in Montpelier who ere burned out
in the late fire No such widows existed that are
known 10 our residents. People In other towns
may be on their guard against such imposters and
pretended agents. The ladies Of Montpelier have
orgauized relief committee, and funds and all
needful articles are being abundantly contributed
by the large mass Of our citizens who have not
suffered. No agents have been authorized 10 so

friends in other towns beware Of impostors who

ing commenced in earnest At the second word
Chauncey Denney ddaiterafed his spelling TO such
an extent that he was requested 10 retire William
Holden slipped, and also had TO leave; j. c. Gallup
wasn't sufficiently organized for the contest and
he retired; ID. T. Averill preferred 10 follow and
did so; the spelling of Edgar Davis was little
dNdpidated, Sarah Thomson found her desire 10
leave iIresistibie Lulu Whitemore seized the OPP
portunity for retiring DIR. Nichols hdnsferred
himself outside OF the spoilers; Captain Curtis
thought his absence desirable; sibay was too slip
perry for Harry Ihayer; Cadet MacIlwain hadn't
riceted his attention quite closely enough 10 his
spelling, and he felt compelled 10 leave Thus
matters went on until, on Mrs Circuits side, there
remained only Mrs. L. l.. Soper while on Mr.

Williams missed on ersilarate, and Fred Parker
