ANOTHER OF THE BARRE BANK
ROBBERS ARRESTED.

After the arrest of Peter Alphonsos
and his commitment to Montpelier Jail,
a finely dressed woman came there, and
had talk with Judge Carpenter, repre-
senting herself as Alphonsos sister, and
in tears implored the judge to reduce
the bail, an entrcaty which proved of no
effect. She represented that she resided
in Boston. While in Montpelier, Sher-
iff Bailey saw the woman, but she did
not see him. He Swallowed her and
found that she bought ticket for
Springfield instead of Boston. He here
thought there mig ht be something gain
ed by following her further. He took
the same train with her, at the same
time, and telegraphed to the chiefs Of
flee, Boston, what had happened. De-
tective Wood of the chiefs Office, and
Detective Wiggin, at once went to
Springfield, and there met Mr.. Bailey
and the woman. Mr.. Bailey returned
to Vermont, and Wood and Wiggir

they followed her for several days. From

A BOYS TERRIBLE DEATH.


In the afternoon of Aug. %, Alvah
Sloper, farmer in the town of Orwell.
Oswego county, N. Y, sent his son Will
liam, aged 10, to the lot for yoke of
oxen which he had hitched to a stump
by a log chain, telling him to go to
neighbours on another road for a pair of
trucks. The boy started off with the
oxen, and was not seen again until about
half-past nine that evening, when three
men found the oxen on by road, drag
ging his lifeless body with the log chain
hitched around his neck. All his clothes
had been stripped of, except his shoes
and the wristbands of his shirt his neck
was broken, his skull crushed. and body
frightfully bruised and broken. The
trail, being followed back, was seen to
begin at point not over ten rods from
the stump to which the oxen were hitch
ed when he went for them, and it was
aseertained that he had been dragged
more than three miles over rough and
stony roads, through fields, and over a
wood lot where the timber had recent
ly been cut. His hat and shreds of his
coat. vest and trowsers were found a
various points along the road. The aft
air aroused the intensest excitement il
the neighborhoOd, and at first it was be
lieyed that the chain could not hav,
got around young Sloper's neck acciden

dered. A Coroner was called, and tn
jury, after thorough investigation, re
turned the verdict that ''the boy cam

around his neck and being dragged b
yoke of oxen for mile or more over
rough and stony road, by which he sus

The Bank of California has been the
greatest financial institution on the Pa
cifc coast, and it has not only been iden-
titled with nearly all of the great rail-
road, mining and manufacturing enter
prises Of California, Nevada and Oregon,
but it has manipulated politics. Sena-
tors, representatives to congress, COVER
nors and judges have been made and
owned by this great moneyed power.
The head Of the bank was man named
Ralston he directed its affairs, and was
represented as Napoleon in the char
acter and greatness of his ability and
his schemes. The directors of this bank
we're very wealthy, one of them reputed
to be worth Sl5, 100000, and all very
rich Ralston managed the bank, doing
wonderful amount Ct business. He
bought mining and railroad stock, did a
vast amount Of banking business, and
managed private enterprises that were
magnificent He was building hotel
in San Francisco that will eclipse any
thing ever built on this continent. He
had a palatial residence, entertained
hosts Of friends, assisted in many chart
table and private enterprises. But for
some reason the bank got into trouble ;
it could not meet its obligations and
suspended. Other banks in San Fran
cisco felt the shock and closed their
doors. The excitement in California
was intense, and New York and London
felt the shock.
Just in the greatest excitement it was
discovered that Ralston was drowned.
He went to bathing house on the shore
and was picked up shortly after, some
ways from the shore, drowned. Whether
it was suicide or accidental drowning
could not then be determined. Sine,
then the opinion has gained ground tina
the man died from apoplexy. How mucl

cussion by taking the opposite side of
the question, and thought all farmers
were not in condition to experiment
in fancy stock raising. He illustrated
his point by saying that man who was
commencing farming, and had only one
hundred dollars to invest in stock, could
not afford to buy a fancy calf, paying
out all of his money for that calf; but
he might buy two forty dollar COWS, and
then have twenty dollars to invest in
''scrub" calves. The cows would pro-
duce considerable butter, and the calves
would consume his hay and their growth
would be of some value. Mr.. Bradley
referred to some instances where men
had made sad failures in going into fan
cy stock raising, and contrasted their
condition with other farmers, who had
been noted for raising and keeping the
poorest stock, but had grown rich. Mr..
B. said he had discovered by investiga-
ton that the wonderful calves of the
noted breeds, always ate their hay out
boxes in the corners of which a little
meal might be discovered, although the
owners did not acknowledge that they
fed any meal.
Mr. G. P. Owen felicitously opposed
Mr.. Bradley, and thought some of his
arguments really favored the affirmative
view of the question. Mr.. o. said that
the thrifty farmer who had been refer
red to by Mr.. Bradley, had not made
his money by raising poor stock. but
had made it in his dealings with the
genus homo.
Hon. E. P. Cotton said that the ques-
ton seems to resolve itself into this ::
Whether farmers should spend fifteen or
twenty years in improving and building
up poor breed of animals, or select at
once some of the breeds that have al
ready been built up, and are known to
possess valuable qualities. He would
not have time and money wasted in ex-
periments, but thought farmers could Sc
lect any of the good breeds now known,
and make the raising of them profitable

WILLIAM MORGAN, AGAIN.

To the Editor of the Springfield Re
publican Having recently seen two

Freemasons murdered in 1926, had been
seen alive, by one man in Asia Minor
in 1880, and by another, IA years after,
in the woods of Maine, | wish to fur

Henry l.. Valance on his death bed, and
taken down by DIR. John l.. Emery of
Racine county, Wis, in 1848 of his
(Valance's) part in the murder of Nor
gan. Valance was one of three men
drawn by lot to put Morgan to death,
which they did at dead of night. First
they tied his hands behind him, and
placed a gag in his mouth, led him from
Fort Niagara to the boat, then fastened
weights to his body and rowed to the
middle of the river, when Morgan being
asked to stand, Valance pushed him in.
to the water. which they supposed to be
the last of him. His body was after
wards found upon the shore and identi
fed by several marks which were named
by Mrs. Morgan before the examination
began, so that no doubt was left upor

of the Inflated William Morgan. Val

and the democratic parties, which would
not submit longer to the encroachments
of slavery. That party was re-enforced
bya large class Of patriotic, energetic
young Len, who arrived at maturity
during and since the war it has also
been added to by a class of political
bummers, who have disgraeed and in
jured it, and who cling to it now for
place and plumber So far as the poll
ticians of this party are concerned, their
desire to keep in power is as great and
as unworthy as that of Democratic lead
ers to get in power.
Since these two powerful parties will
enter the political canvass of 1876, it
will be nothing but waste of ammuni-
ton to attempt to build up another, no
matter how virtuous it may profess to
be. Those who believe that republican
ism, though not perfect, is better than
democracy, should still cling to it and
seek to reform the party, not destroy it.
Those who believe in democracy, or are
determined to overthrow republicanism,
will join the Democratic party. One of
these parties will triumph still longer,
and it remains for the candid, honest
voter to decide which one of the two is
best. and cast his influence with that
one.

"MISSIONARY CARRIAGE.n

Sometime since through letters address,
ed to a member of President Browns
family, of Hamilton College, and from
thence through Prof Huntington's fam
lily at Auburn, Prof. John E. Myer, also
of Auburn, became interested in the Ia
bors of one Ireneus P. Gage, employed
by the American Sunday School Union
in labors in Northern Nebraska. From
these. and other sources Mr.. Myer as
certained that Mr.. Gage had already de-
voted about two and half years to
these labors, having established large
number of Sunday Schools in regions
where there were no churches or means
of religious instruction, and that in this
work he had thus far been signally bless
ed. To carry on his labors it was nec-
essary to travel over a large territory
which was accomplished on horseback.
This mode of travei had proved very
fatiguing to the missionary. and was
feared was likely to result in impaired
health. Mr. Gage had at one time laid
by sum nearly sufficient to purchase .
carriage, but finding the wants of hi
people so great, he had concluded t.
forego the pleasure. and had devoted th,
money to other purposes. Acquainted
with these facts, and after careful in

came on to Oneida two weeks since. and
presented the matter before the Presby-
terrain Sunday School. Suffice to say
that between the two, no difficulty was
experienced in procuring the required
amount. Furthermore, not only was
sufficient raised to purchase the carriage,
but also good new harness, lap robe
and whip. thus making the outfit COM

friends in Syracuse. The entire outfit

added that Mr.. Gage is a native of YER
