THREE VICTIMS OF USREourTE

THREE VICTIMS OF USREQurTEH
LovE.-The village OF Cula, N. Y.
was a scene of a dreadful tragedy last
Wednesday. James Laiferty otOr-
ious character, had for more than a
year professed 'ove for Miss Vannoy,
daughter of George Nnnnoy, farmer,
but she had invariably repulsed him.
On "Wednesday he went 10 Vannoy's
house aud renewed his proposal Of mar
riase, saying that hisgranfmother had
given him n lot of money, and he
would give it all to Miss Vannoy il she
would marry him. She told him that
she did not wish to have any associa-
tion with him as his character was not
what it should be. He said he would
be better man il she were his wife
She then rose to leave the room, when
he handed her 4 newspaper and told
he to read paragraph he pointed out.
Ii was headed, Murdered for love. !"
She had turned her face away from him
In looking at the paper, and had just
glanced at the heading of the article,
when he drew revolver and fred. She
ran, ,shrieking and bleeding towaI the
door, when her mother rushed into the
room; Lafferty then shot her, and ran
out of the house. MIR. Van
noy, hearing the firing, left the barn,
and was fastening to the house when
he saw L fferty leaving, with his pis-
tol In his hand and wild look in his
face, Laiferty wheeled and fired at the
farmer, but missed him. Without
waiting tosee the effect of his last shot,
he placed the revolver against his own
head and blew out his brains. The
ladies survived their woundsbut a few
hours.

The theatrical exhibition at the Con- gregational church came off as antieipat- ed, last Thursday night. It was splen- did evening; light fall of snow gave us fine sleighing; the ice and cold weather did not prevent large attendance, and the church was we'll filled. We noticed some present from ''town," among them, Messrs. F. A. Hotchkiss, E. B. Reed, Gillette, and Dr. Knight. The entertain ment opened with music and singing by, Willie Hall-''The Gipsy's Warning" Quite number of Tableaux were given. The first, very pleasing and true to life, was the Fortune Teller" by Misses Ma " and Ella Everette Then followed a song, ''The Young Abstainer" Master Frank Skiff. Misses Ruby Stanly and Mary Everette presented a very attractive ''Valentine. ''The Farmer" song by G. Skih and Miss Mary Everette, was de- cidedly the most Imaginable feature of the entertainment. The ''Goddess of Liber- ty" was 8 complete success-spleadid, in fact. Indeed. where all were so good we cannot particularize without being un- just to those not mentioned. Mir. D. Millerde, the teacher of the centre school, was the getter-up of the whole affair and contributed much to the enjoyment of the evening by his appearance in several scenes: ''The Wedding" ''The Blossom" and especially in ''Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works"
 The Old folks concert passed of ad- mirably at the close of the entertainment. The audience then adjourned to the par sonage for an oyster supper.
 The Adventists are holding a series of meetings at Mount Skiff.

 The Farmers Convention of the 18th inst. was fairly attended. Owing to the had travelling only few came in from adjoin- ing towns. The meeting was called to or der at F. M and Mir. Frederick N. Gal pin was appointed chairman. Messrs. T. s. Gold and Nathan Hart made addresses on the subject of dairy business. Then there was general discussion of the sub- iect. Messrs. Sheldon Whittlesey, s. H. Welton, John NJ Wadhams, of Goshen, and E. W. Gum, were among those who took part ill the discussion. A number of questions were put to Messrs. Gold and Hart. The most interesting point discuss-' ed was that of ''over-feeding, and the gen eral opinion seemed to be that the yield of milk was often lessened by it. The ad- vantage of giving each COW about table spoonful of salt with her mess, every morning, was nrged as makinga consider able increase of milk. It was also stated that the quantity of feed needed varied considerably with different animals. The expediency of cutting two crops of hay in stead of one was urged. Turnips should be fed just after milking and should be sound. Mir. Hart reported the produce of several dair,es doing business with the Shepaug Milk Association as averaging from $75 to $100,a year per COW. At about five there was an adjournment till half past six in the evening when the various ques- tions found in the question box" were answered by Secretary Gold. and an ad- dress was delivered by Prof. Johnson, on the subject of Agricultural Experiment Stations" Mir. Gold also urged this mat ter, and, in reply to question by MT. Wadhams, stated that the cost of the pro- posed experiment would be &, 900. A bill appropriating that amount was before the last legislature and continued to the next General Assembly. A resolution was passed urging the legislature to grant the appropriation and petitions were placed in the hands of the chairman to be signed and forwarded.
 The Shepaug engine is as thirsty an institution, these days. as any old topper that bad luck has stranded in this ''No License" township. On Tuesday of last week the water stopped at this tank. There has been no supply at Litchfeld for some time past, so that the engine has to cross the Housatonic for water. The SUD- ply at our tank comes through bored ''pop- pie" logs laid four feet deep, yet on blast ing down to them there was found to be frost all the way. After much experiment. ing defective log was discovered, Satur- day, and the water is expected to begin running again early this week.

The latest cable news indicates a Republican success in the French Assem- bly. It is now voted that the Senate shali consist of 300 members; 75 to be elected by the Assembly, and the rest by the departments and the colonies. At a caucus of the radical Republicans. Gam beta advised strongly the adoption of this compromise as the last within reach. The Bonapartists tried to tempt them again with an amendment opening the Senate to popular election, but the Rad icals refused to follow their lead and the entire Left and Right Center voted solid for the compromise. The Right now threatens resignation in body, rid dance much too good to be at all proba- ble. >e
