PROBABLE VIOLENT DEATH CT rEsIDEST CT

PROBABLE VIOLENT DEATH CT REsIpKNT CT
THIS CITY.
Mr.. W. A. Wheeler, q resident Of this
city, has suddenly disappeared under cir
cums;anees which would seem to justify the
worst forebodings of his family and frieLds
and leave little doubt but that he has come
to sudden and violent ending. The cir
cumstances Of the case are as follows: On
Tuesday, October 2ish. he started from
this city 20 Vergennes in a sail boat, alonc /;
he was heard from at the latter city on
Wednesday but on Thursday the boat was
found, overturned, with the centre board
and one oar missing, drifting in the north
ern part Of Burlington Bay. above all the
wharyes. and nothing has been heard Of Mr..
W heeler and not the slightest trace Of him
can be found. There Is probably little
doubt but that he is drowned. A curious
feature of the case i the fact that he was
sailor of consummatc skill and an expert
swimner-and 1t may be add that he was
strictly temperate man. No high wind
prevailed during the time he was supposed
to be on the lake, and altogether the dl-ap-
pearance is a very mysterious one.
Mr. v heeler had the reputation OF being
an upright, honorable man and was highly
esteemed by all who knew MIN. lis career
was extremely varied and adventurous. lie
was master Of many trades and had been
engaged IN many ayOeauons. For many
Years he was a sailor, serving IN the whal-
ing fleet, and in this capacity visited almost
every part OF the globe; and it seems
strange fatality THAI be should finally meet
his doom in the fresh waters Of an inland
sea His --latest avocati0n was that If
maehinist. but he had been Tor some tine
out Of work ard 1t was in search Of
employment that he visited Nergcnnes.
But though cut Of employment and
not very we'll provided with money, he
aud his family we're IN position to be well
taken care of, and the supposItlon of sui
eide on account OF dependency caused by
financial troubles seems improbable. Mr..
heeler was about forty years OF age, and
his family consists Of wife and two
yourg children, WHO reside in this city
The following Is description OF the
missing man Age about 80 years; height.
five feet four inches; sandy complexion
mousjache and side whIz&ers thumb Of
left hand gone.
1t may be added that en- Friday afternoon
last there was found in the lake, near Cen
tral wharf. an Oyercoat, containing some
private papers, from which, however. no
clue TO the owner could be found There
may be a larc possibility that the garment
belonged 70 Mr. Wheeler. Il SO, It Will
probably be identified to-day.

in the Northern Canal last week. His wife
resides at Champaign, n. Y, and he was ~
years of age.
Contractors have Just completed two more
depots on the line of the New York and Can
ada road-one at Cooperville and another at
Chazv They are substantial frame build
incs, about 50 by 80 feet IN dimensions, and
with slate roofs. present very attractive APP
pearance. brick engine house Is also IN
process of construction at Rouses Point. AT
Willsborough the foundation for depot was
laid several months ago, and building was
to have been erected thereon at once but
owing to some difficulty between the railroad
company and the town authorities relative to
the location. the work has been delayed. 1t
is understood that matters Will soon be ar
ranged in such a manner as to permit Of the
further prosecution of the work. and that
the depot Will be completed this fall.
Our Keeseville correspondent writes ::
Among all the villages of Northern New
York there is none which has more easily
borne the strain OF hard times than Reese
vile. To some extent this IS owing TO the
builling of the New York and Canada Rail-
road, which, during the time 1t was being
bu It. disbursed large amount of money
among farmers, mechanics, merchants and
la5orers in the vicinity. But more largely is
i due to the works of the Ausable Horse
Nail Company, which have continued with
hardly 4 cessation summer and winter, dur
ing these years. This company furnish en-
ployment to a large number of men and reg
ularlv disburse large sums TO their employees,
who, with the cash in their hand, secure
their supplies OF the merchants. at such
reasonable rates as cash is always able to
obtain The results OF this system on the
part of the corporation and its advantages
over the old plan of paying 10y means OF or
deis for goods at the companys store, are
apparent III the general Thrift of the village,
the comparative case with which the busi-
ness depression of the country has thus far
been borne, ard in the greater ease and com

Many of these own their homes, having

ERRArIc WRIrINo.-The following
is from the Danbary Ners. 1t is we'll
said. and expresses forcibly what every
editor thinks:
1--WE don't mind how eccentric a Der.
son is in bis dress. That's his own
business. But TO man has got a right
to be eccentric in his penmanship if he
designs the manuscript for others. An
eccentricity in writing is abominable.
1t tires the eyes, tires the brain, and
6lunts the moral nature of the reader.
An article, to have its merits under
stood, should he read Auently. We
wish writers for the press would un-
derstand that they can brighten up
their chance of q welcome by plain,
straightforward penmanship. We are
deeply interested in this subject, as our
time is pretty well occupied. If we
were the president of baseball club,
with nothing to do but sit astraddle of
a fence and watch q thaw, it would be
different"

A CUNNING OLD Fox.-There was
one old fox which, for a period Of sew
eral years, had continually evaded the
feetest and keenest-scentsd hounds,
the scent invariably being lost in the
vicinity of q house situated in the
woods and far removed from any habi.
tation, and which was used as store.
house for pelts. At last one day the
hounds started the old fox, and away
he went in the direction of the house.
with pack of young hounds in full
cry, after him; but, on nearing the
house, he disappeared, leaving the
hounds and hunters nonplussed as u.s.
ual. While the hunters were gathered
in and around the house discus sing the
frequent mysterious disappearance of
the fox, an old veteran hound came
limping up, and, entering the door,
set up a furious barking and tried to
jump up on the wall. His singular
action attracted the attention of the
hunters, and, an examination being
made, the old fox was found SUSPEND.
ed BY his tail to nail in the wall, keep.
ing perfectly still, and looking. unless
closely observed. like the pelts with
which the walls were hung. This
plainly showed that the old FOX, when
too closely pressed, had taken refuge
in the house and hung himself up on
the nail By his tail which was the rea-
son for the dogs always losing the
scent at that particular place.-Reese
