EARTH CLOSETS. The Wakefield earth
closet is said to be the great blessing Ct
the l9th century by those who are so for
tunate as to possess enc. They are not in
tended for invaids alone, many a family
IN robust health use them iD preference to
vile privy with obnoxious odors enough to
knock stroug man down, much less a
weak woman. The secret of their emitting
no oder lies 10 the fact that the earth with
which the vessel is filled is a deodorizer
and destroys at once all offensive odors.
They are portable, and coming into general
use. In the sick room they are an indis-
pensable article of furniture. Dubuque

The Orion Murder.

A Swede who furnished our reporter
with the name of the man murdered near
Orion sale it was Nelson, but letter from
Orion to the Union says it was Nelson
Stark. The body was found by peddler
who stopped at the house 1t was lying
across the door step outside in his night
clothes, dead and apparently had been for
some time. The coroner was notified and at
once proceeded to the scene of the murder
On examination it was found that Stark
had been cut and stabbed in thirteen
places. Both hands were cut IN such a
way as to show he had grasped the assas-
sins knife. There was evidence of a
desperate struggle, and the house was in a
fearful condition, showing that he had
lived hard life. There was scarcely any
furniture In the rooms On searching,
about four hundred dollars was found hid
den away in old tin cans, also notes and pa
prs for a considerable amount. His
horses cattle and hogs seemed to be near
ly starved for food and water, showing
that they had not been cared for some time.
He was seen last during Saturday. Nc
evidence could be found to implicete any
one. Not even the instrument that pro-
duced the wounds could be found
Following is the coroner's memorandum
Nelson Stark was lying just outside the
| door; was stabbed in the abdomen with a
knife, the blade Of which was one inch
broad; entrais were forcing out; had been
struck about the face with some heavy
instrument; head almost severed from the
body; hands were both cut in the inside.
looked as if he had grabbed the knfe OF
the assassin. Found blood in the bed
some on the pillow and some on the spread
Found patent bucket with blood on the

any appearance OF having been used in the
murder. The man was about so years Of
age.

tCeHlH9.
The Jury Out in the Frysinger Case
IL the whisky case of Frysinger and
| Seaverns, in the United States district
court, Mr.. Boutell occupied most of the
forenoon with an able closing argument on
behalf of the government
Judge Blodgett then
CHARGED THE JURY,
briefly. He said, substantially, after re.
citing the different counts in the indict.
ment, etc, that under the fifth and sixth
counts, if any facts showing conspiracy are
found, the conspiracy is made out against
all the parties who have counseled together
to do the act.
| The testimony, said the court, was all
circumstantial. Frysinger told the Rock
Island agent of the Chicago & Rock Island
road that he wanted to ship whisky in a
way that no record would be made of il
on tho company's books. He paid the
agent there then $50 per car. and the
same to the agent at Englewood, and a
large bonus to the agent of the Red Line
the prosecution claimed that the jury must
conclude that the spirits were illicit
necessarily from the way they were ship
ped; it was not necessary to prove their
guilt absolutely; if the circumstantial
evidence could be explained upon any
other hypothesis than the guilt of the de.
PENDANTS, they would be found not guilty;
but otherwise, they must be found guilty;
on the first four counts the jury might find
one or both guilty, those being for the
illicit removal of the spirits; but upon the
two last they must both be guilty, OF
neither-it taking both of them to make
the conspiracy complete, it was for the
jury to say whether honest men would
seek to defraud the railroad company
and not at the same time seek to defraud
the government; the negative testimony
of the gaugers and store-keepers, that
they knew of nothing wrong or rotten
about the distillery, was Of little value. fol
fraud might be perpetrated in their inno-
cent absence; and it must be borne in
mind, too, that those witnesses would
naturally SO testify as not to reflect upor
their own official conduct.
The jury was ordered to seal its verdict
If it did not agree before 4:3o o'clock this
afternoon. And with these instructions
the patient twelve retired at Il I'd.

FROM THE AUCTION BLOCK TO CONGRESS.
Jcre HARRISON was a slave until 1865,
when he was emancipated with the rest.
He was a slave to Mr.. John T. Walker of
Columbus, and on the death Of the latter
was sold on the block, in this city, to Mr..
j. w. Thomson. After his death he was
purchased by John HARRISON of Selma,
emancipation. He was raised in Muscogee
county as common field hand. He was
was born here in 1915. Upon inquiry we
find number who knew him when slave.
He deserves credit tor the information he
has acquired, but he was made what he is,
not by any superior motive power above
any white man, but the prejudices of ig-
norant negroes controlled by United States
bsyonets. He lives In strong negro dis
trict, inhabited by the most unettered of
the class. In 1870 he was elected to the
house of representatives of Alabama, and
in 1872 to the state senate, and in 1875 TO
congress from the Mobile district. He is
| superior to his ow n race, but inferior far to
the white man he defeated, and bis seat is
now contested. His success is attributed
altogether to race prejudice. Columbus,

DAILY AND WEEKLY GLOBE,
vERMONT'S LARGEST AND BEST
NEWSPAPER.

The new year, commemorating the compile.
ton OF the first century OF our independence
and witnessing the election OF a president and,
Tor the first time In our history, an entire ma
tional house OF representatives, wilt be one of
splendid possibilities both TO journalism and
the country,
TIE GLOBE will avail itself OF the former, by
giving the news, late, prompt, fresh and full :;
oy impartial comments on the news OF the
hour by candid, honest discussion Of the Is
sues of the day by full reports OF local occur
rences, and correspondence both local and
general by agricultural readings, market re-
oorts. and by selections both grave and gay.
In word, the endeavor will be to make THE
GLOBE live newspaper, indispensable TO the
farmer and business man, to the politician and
student, to the of1lce, counting room and the
family circle.
That the country may realize the possibilities
seemingly in store for It, we shall on our part,
rs In times past, advocate the principles and
policy OF the republican party, as we under
stand them, and, to that end, we shall labor to
make It better and purer by combating Its
errors and exposing the wrong.doers in It's
ranks. We shall favor and strive for real ad-
ninistrative reform, speedy return TO specie
payments, an honest maintenance OF the ma
tons plighted faith, a purer and better politics.
faithful and economical administration OF the
government, municipal, state and national. and
shalt support only honest, capable men for
ONCE.
As an earnest OF the future we can only point
to our course in the past. and assure our pat
rons that hereafter, as heretofore, we shall en-
deavor TO make THE GLOBE better and better.
and more and more worthy OF support with
each succeeding month. What THE GLOBE
has been during the less than three years or its
existence is well known, that IL has been fully
appreciated Its generous support amply attests.
As a medium or advertising, TUE GLOBE is un-
surpassed In Vermont. The combined daily
and weekly circulation exceeds that Of any other
