Not Suicide.

Tic sudden death of Luther Pease
of Hartford, which occurred on Thursday,
and which has created considerable talk
and diversity of opinion not only among
the community where he was known, but
among the physicians, has resulted in the
cyhumation of the body of the deceased
and post norton examination.
Professor Frost, and his assistant, Of
Hanover, together with Drs. Rand and
Eaton, held an examination of the body
for three hours. The result demonstrated
the fact that the brain and intestnes were
in their natural condition. The heart was
diseased. The contents OF the stomach
are in possession Of Professor Frost for
analysis.
The conclusions of the physicians are
that the deceased died of disease of the
heart and kidneys, either one of which was
sufficient to cause death. Mr.. Allen Pease,
the son OF the deceased, says there was no
foundation for the widely circulateJ report
that his father took strychnino, and that
the family were not aware of the circua-
ton of the report until on the eve OF the
funeral, when it reached the family from

Of thievery and corruption, these candidates
were sure to be elected. Through some
mistake this sentiment was not properly APP
lauded.

hold, as four candidates were nominated
and declined in succession, viz: j. d.

ing Room.

Editor Rutland Globe. The question
has been asked, should not the Reform
club have higher aim, moro fruitful
mission, than simply to exist? No person
can watch the work which it has already
entered upon, and is steadily carrying for
ward, without feeling that 1t il, organized
for purpose. Any society whose end 1t
is, by mutual sympathy and interest, to in
fuence those who have started in life with
more manly resolutions, to keep them to
the last unflinchinsy, and who also en-
deavor by new additions to its numbers to
reclaim others who are unfortunate in
their habits, is doing noble work, and
one which in Rutland will find few, if any,
to discourage 1t. Different ways are sug-
gested by which it may prove most efficient
in Its purpose, as we'll as most permanent
in its results.
One thing Is recognized by all, that is
the need of spending the hours of leisure,
which is admitted as the time when tempta-
ton is the hardest to Withstand, in pleas
snter and more profitable surroundings.
Many have homes and friends TO receive
them, but many more have not. a large
part are honest, industrious mechanics and
lsboring young men, who have no place to
spend their evenings outside of their board
ing places, except as their tastes inclue
them to seek resorts helpful Cr otherwise.
Cannot q little influence be exerted Just
here, and direct them toward what will re-
lieve in large part the todiousness OF lille
hours, by usefully employing them.
BY another week the reading room, free
to sll disposed to go there, will be opened
A little effort ON the part II few will
lead many to spend their evenings there,
where otherwise they might fall back into
old habits. The Importance Of the we'll
chosen newspaper and magazine in edu-
eating and maturing higher and more
elevated character will best be real zed by
the words of another on the nc spaper
1t il everywhere and one way or another
it is educating everybody. The
schoomaster is abroad in the land said an
English lord of 1t fifty years ago.
1t is'one of the most important Of educa-
tional instrumentalities. Its Influence is
felt all along the path of youth and ripen-
ing manhood Could anything be
more wisely designed or more perfectly
adapted to accomplish good results in the
increase of intelligence and the formation
