A colored member of the Republican
County Convention on last Saturday, de-
clarea that it was not principle that they
wanted now, but men. Ee told the truth
the Republican party wants men without
principle, and no other kind. Respectable
colored men should be ashamed to belong
to party so degraded as to admit that it
does not want principle.

Homicide at South Burlington.

A murderous affray occurred al
what is called the farmers Home,
a small hotel in South Burlington, few
weeks since which has finally resulted
in the death of one man and the arrest
of another on charge of murder. The
Burlington Free Press reports the cir
cumstances as follows
On the 9th of January George Toby,
of Hinesburg, was at the Farmers Home
in an intoxicated condition and inclined
to be noisy and violent. While he was
there Michael O'Neil, of Williston, en-
tered the place to make some purchases,
on his return home from Burlington.
Toby Immediately attempted to pick a
quarrel with him, uttered the most
abusive language, and finally clinched
with him, but the combatants were sep
arated by the bystanders. O'Neil then
went out into the shed to get out his
team and was followed by Toby. In
the shed according to O'Neil's story To.
by attacked him, and rough and tum-
bic fight ensued. O'Neil knocked Toby
down several times and kicked him VIC
lently on the head and left him sense
less. Toby was larger and stronger
man than O'Neil, but being intoxicated
was easily worsted. O'Neil denies strik-
ing him with other than natural weapons,
but other parties affirm that he beat
him about the head with pitchfork or
sled-stake.
Since the ARRAY Toby has suffered at
intervals great pain in the head, but at
other times would feel but little incon-
venience from his wounds. On Friday
last, however, he was taken with convul-
sions and died Saturday night A com
plant charging O'Neil with murder was
made out Sunday, and on Sunday night
Sheriff Drew arrested him and lodged
him in Jail, where he now lies, awaiting
examination.
Toby was only nineteen years of age
and has a sister and widowed mother
living in Hinesburg He had been ad-
dicted to the excessive use Of ardent
spirits for some years. ONeil is some
thing over 40 years old, and has wife
and five children.

Extensive Forgeries.

THE GREATEST FoRGER OF TIE DAY
The sensation in Boston last week, was
the sudden disappearance of E. D,
Winslow and the discovery that he had
successfully forged paper and obtained
money on the same to an unprecedented
amount. 1t is the most marvellous case
even in these days of crime and corrup-
ton. The extent of his forgeries are
unknown and perhaps never will be, as
many who have been caught do not care
to make themselves known. He secured
the confidence and had the circuit of
some half dozen banks in Boston, and
bled them freely. 1t appears that he
carried his paper to the banks, all prop
erly signed, but the banks did not re-
quire the signatures to be made in their
presence, and hence the fraud. The
amount of his forgeries are several hun
dred thousand dollars. The banks are
put down at $4,000 to $4,000. On the
larger sums there were collaterals, and
the full amount will not be lost.
This Winslow was not quite 80 years
of age, had been member of the legis-
lature, was Methodist clergyman, edi-
tor, publisher, and only two weeks be-
fore his flight, preached at Auburndale.
and at social gathering about the same
time, responded to the toast, "Original
sin-we all have our favorite kinds y"
He was treasurer of the Boston Post,
the democratic paper, and publisher of
the Boston News, temperance paper.
at the time he absconded, and a repub-
lican member of the legislature. He
was also formerly publisher of lions
Herald, the Methodist paper of Boston,
and up to within year had retained
his membership of the Massachusetts
Methodist Conference, but there was Oh.
position to him a year since and he
stepped out of the conference; our
readers can thus see the cloak he wore.
His forgeries had been going on for some
time. He would sometimes pay one
forged note with another, and in the
mask of minister, temperance, &c, he
played his game with unprecedented
success.
In his flight he took his family, wifi.
and boy of ten years, and it is believed
has gone to Holland under the assumed
name Of Clifton. Some time ago h,
applied to some of the lawyers to hun
up those countries with which the UniteC
States had no extradition treaties, sayin.
he was going to have some articles writ
ten on the subject for the Post. Brazi
and Holland appeared to be the mos
accessible and there is little doubt tina
he will land in Holland this week.

New York" A lot of staples which were
found had screw on one end, so that
they could be readily, fastened to the
floor. The overalls captured are also in
the keeping Of the officers. Whatever
is said as to the length of time used by
the professionals in working up their
job, it is certain that the tickets thew
gave on the morning train by which
they came to Springfield were bought at
Northampton several days before the
first Of January fully a month ago, the
tickets bearing numbers about so back
of the numbers with which Ticket Agent
Hunt began selling on that day. They
were local tickets of the Connecticut
River railroad from Northampton to
this city. The fellows had them ready
for Conductor Adams when he came
through evidently to avoid conversation,
and were so very prompt as to attract
his attention.
The announcement that the old safe
was not molested brought Joy to the
faces therein as they entered the bank
ing room. The scene was most affecting
however, when in the presence of some
of the bank officers and several deposit
tors, the expert Mr.. Dein, worked away
at the vault door to open it. The an
xlety OF the faces grew to sadness as at
last the door was opened, revealing the
emptiness where their treasures had
been. One of the heaviest depositors
entered the vault, seized the green tin
box in which so long his securities had
lain, and holding it out remarked, while
looking at it with dramatic air: q That

The Carnival of Crime.

This week, like last, closes with al
most unprecedented crime. 1t was prom
inently the robbery of property last
week, and in Massachusetts,. This week
1t is most prominently against human
life and is in Vermont. We almost
seem to live in an unprecedented age Of
crime and corruption, in which life and
property are in constant danger. The
moral perception Of right has weakened
in whole communities as well as individ-
uals. 1t is seen the whole length of the
line, from those in respectable position.
who are constantly scheming for grab
at the public treasures, down to the
robbery of banks and the taking of hui
man life. But these things cannot last
A better day is sure to come. Virtue
may be slow but with it and intelligence
there will be a rally which will turn
back the wave of crime and its tenden-
cies, which now so much prevails. 1t is
no time to talk despair, or that the world
is worse than ever before, and growing
worse every day, but rather stand up
firmly against these iniquities, and es-
pecially when they appear in their in
cipient stages.
Whatever be the form in which the
evil times appear, whether for want
of ordinary integrity, or on account Of
intemperance, blunted sensibilities, ig-
norance, loose morals, or any other of
the long catalogue of evils, the duty of
individuals and communities should be
to press forward to the building up of
conscience which shall bring the coun-
try to the broad, moral sunlight of day
and business prosperity, for without the
former we certainly shall not deserve
the latter

Thirty-five Thousand Sheep Killed.

A terrific wind stormis reported in
Kern, Co. California, two weeks since,
destroying some thirty-tive thousand
sheep. 1t seemed storm of sand, grav-
ell and stones, the latter driven with
force enough to beat the animals to
death. A wagon was capsized and near
ly torn to pieces by the wind, and men
on horseback left the animals and came
into camp with their faces bruised so as
to nearly close their eyes. Thousands
of sheep were driven into narrow gulches
and finally covered with sand, literally
buried alive. On the San Emidio, cat
tie driven into the beds of the stream
were in some places buried completely
out of sight. The grass, which had
grown to good feed, was taken out by
the roots and piled up in waves along
the plain.

Correspondence of the Bellows Falls Times
RUTLAND, January 2Sth, 1876.
EDITOR b. +. TnEs:-A Although all
our Rutland city papers and their allies
are mourning over the decision Of our
chief magistrate, not to call an extra
session of the legislature, at the sport
mems request to vote men and money to
send to the Philadelphia centennial cell
ebration, please allow a reader of your
paper to thank the TIMES for the noble
stand 1t has taken in opposition to the
farce. A. Peck has done just right and
the farmers of Vermont will thank him
for it. 1t is just this passion for display
and the desire to outshow our neighbors
that is running our country and fostering
whiskey rings, clerical robberies like
that Of the Rev. Mr.. Winslow at Boston,
bank plunderers like that at Northamp-
ton, and fancy dog breeders like some
we have here. Those who ride in coaches
and keep a carriage and driver, must
have the money, and when it don't come
honestly by preaching, banking or cir
cling round in the may dance of r.
r. law suit, other means will be resorted
TO in order to obtain it, Had the leg
stature been called together do you be-
lleve it would have appropriated funds
to bear the expenses of any body to the
largest city ofthegreat state Pennsylva-
mia? 1t is said our state should be rep
resented-a company of soldiers, squad
of miners, battery Of well manned
merchants and manufacturers be paid to
exhibit their wares. The Legislature
has been twice in session since this cen
tennial egg has been in process of in
cubation, and no one has asked an ap-
Did the Aliens and Chit
tendens, the Robinsons and Fays and
their compeers, when they established
the government Of Vermont, and when
the constitution Of the state was formed, |
ever contemplate the exegency Of being
called on to vote tax upon the people /
to erect free drinking saloon or hotel
at Philadelphia? l think not, and as
to the disgrace to the State in not being
represented by the Vermont soldiery, it
will readily occur to the reader Of his
tory, that Vermont did send her soldiers
4 short time ago, down below Philadel-
phia, and there the Green Mountain
Boys made a record-all that is needed
or the present to vindicate the honor of
'ur State. When it is necessary again
or such military display as was made
1t Gettysburg, Col. Veazey may perhaps,
t it is at no distant day, be induced to
'all his boys together again and go, but

VALUABLE TO EVERY HoME.-We
shall do our readers a favor by calling
their special attention to the value, the
usefulness, and we may say the direct
profit, Of supplying themselves the pre-
sent year, with one of the cheapest, as
well as the most valuable Journals issu-
ed in this country. 1t costs hardly half
cent day, sum easily saved, while its
practical hints and suggestions will be
most likely to bring that amount many
times over. The 500 to 600 beautiful
engrayings, are alone worth many times
the cost Of the paper. We refer to the
American Agriculturist, so called be-
cause started 30 years ago as a Rural
Journal, but now enlarged to suit the
wants Of every family in Country, Vii
lage, and City. 1t is packed full of
good things, useful, reliable, and instruc-
tive. Each number contains A large
double octavo), pages, beautifully print
ed. 1t has much for instructing and
pleasing Housekeepers and Children,
and Farmers, Mechanics, Merchants
indeed all classes. Its House Plans and
improvements, with Engravings and par
ticulars as to cost, and the common
sense directions, are worth more than
many costly architectural works. Its
constant, persistent, fearless exposure of
Humbugs and swindling schemes, is of
great value to the whole country and to
every individual. In short, tits full of
good things for everybody, and we adj
wise everybody to take it this year. 1t

tennial year. Its circulation, which is a
hundred fold greater than the majority
Of other journals, enables the publishers
to supply the American Agriculturist
at the very low rate of 81 so a year.

The call for the national republican

The call for the national republican
convention has brought out the sugges-
ton Of several names as delegates TO the
convention to nominate candidates for
president and vice president. Among
them are Judge Poland, Hon. Geo, IL.
Bigelow of Burlington, and Hon. Geo.
Howe of Brattleboro. These names do
not indicate Blaine delegation, and
as to that matter, we would like to
see a delegation of good strong men
elected, whose sound common sense can
be trusted, and sent without instructions.
