EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERSER
IA the Crosses of your County who are ar
rested for the murder Of Wm.G. Watrous, OF this
count of their antecedents may not be uninter-
estng to your readers.
The family, consisting OF the parents and
five or six SONS, originally came from the State
OF New York, settling in the Township OF Eek
ford, near this city, where they renamed for a
few years, and afterwards believe living in
the vicinity Of Kalamazoo and South Haven
The BOYS were an idle and vicious set-w esley,
the oldest, particularly obtaining a precarous
living by hunting and fishing, and other still
more doubtful means They are own cousins
Of Watrous' wife. The writer has lived in the
same town and knew Mr.. w. for several years,
and can testify to the fact that he was kind
hearted and worthy citizen, having but one
fault-that of occasional intoxicatlon-and TO
this fault and the money probably in he pos
,sion his untimely end is doubtless due. Y.
ae Rhode Island Assembly has voted to tax
church property. The question has been be-
fore 1t FOR two years, and has been eNhaustiyely
discussed. The conclusion arrived at is that
by exemptlng the churches from taxation the
taxes on other property are increased thereby
indirectly making the owners Of such property
pay for the support of the churches, which ID
deemed violation OF the clause in the State
constitution which says mo man shall be
compelled to support any religious worship,
place or ministry whatever"

On Friday night last there were several burg
laries and attempt at burglarIes in town. At
VIM. T.. Trowbridge's some person attempted
to enter the house through window, but some
member of the family was awake, aud he was
frightened away. At DR.. Rogers the rascal
effected an entrance TO the house through the
kitchen, and was heard by the Doctor. who
arose and ordered the burglar, who was in the
pantry, to leave. The burglar threatened to
shoot, but instead rushed out, the Doctor only
seeing him for an instant as he rushed into the
kitchen. At the house OF the e'.)r of this
paper the burglar entered thr' an outside
cellar door, coming through csl.r into the
dining and sitting rooms ,l.ug his way by
striking matches, which tero aiterward found
partly consumed. Notlins Was disturbed eX-
cept the pocket book OF Mr.. b. which was taken
into the cellar and rifled OF the money it con-
tanned, $40 in bills and little script and LEFT
on the cellar floor. The loss was not discovered
until morning. The editor had that day drawn
his pay for portion of the county printing
