ain IL little town up i'll the Green
Mountains, where the editor of this pa
per happened to he born. and which
contains at present only about one
thousand. three bundled inhabitants. il
was found, upon examination, Il few
wears since, that more money WAS cX-
pended every year for tobacco than tor
the support of the two churches. ~
the people there are generally church.
goerS and liberal in their support of

expended for tobacco was very large.

worthy example for chcwci> and smnk-

that twice us much money is expended

New York's Latest Family Tragedy.

As vet it is onll possible to guess at
the motive which led jules Blanc, the
blind music teacher. to attempt the
murder of his wife and child. sunday
evening, and to kill himself. :" far as
he and his child were concerned. the
attempt was successful, but rs there il
hope that his wife may survive. the
time may come when light will he
thrown upon the dismal crime. Jules
Blanc was IL highly -cducatcd and ac-
complished man, but lac was blind and
his wife was Young and pretty, and. as
an actress, was away from home much
of the time performing i'll opera bouilc.
In fact, there is no reason to believe
that she did not always live fully up to
the accepted standarcd of wiicly and
mothcrly duty but. nevertheless her
husband was Jealous of hcI. and in this
jealousy, rendered doubly bitter 10y the
mans blindness, Is probably to he found
the motive for the suicide and the at
tempted murder. In the letter found
in his room Blanc SAYS: AS we did
not wish to leave our child an orphan,
We preferred that he should follow MS.
In this there is an implication that til,
wife was accessory to the deed. but of the
justice of the implication there is Us yet
no proof. The discovery of the truth
of the whole wretchcd affair depends
solely on the recovery of Nine. Blanc.
