"A black snake was recently killed on
the hill southeast Of our village, which
measured six feet and two inches in length.
DIR. S. w. Leonard and wife celebrated
the fifteenth anniversary of their marriage,
last Saturday evening. Numerous friends
were present, and the gifts bestowed by
them TO the remembered pair were of a
magnificent character and are very highly
esteemed and appreciated by the recipients.
The Catholics will hold fair and resti-
val in American hall, commencing Mon
day, May 18th and continuing through the

assist them one evening by repeating the

off on Tuesday evening. The attendance
was not large. John Ploud and Eugene
Rivett appeared in their celebrated Break

ing the trial. The suit was Instituted by a
mother in behalf of her son, claiming to
recover damages of the defendant ON tue
premises that he sold her son alcoholic
beverages whereby he became intoxicated
and while so intoxicated he received severe
injuries; that she was dependent on him
for her means of support and that she was
deprived of the same. The testimony in
troduced on the part of the plaintiff sup
ported the foregoing facts. The plea of the
defendant was that he did not furnish the
liquor which produced the intoxication of
her son and this plea was strongly fortified
with evidence 10 that effect. The jury, af-
ter celebrating upon the matter at contro-
versy, were unable TO agree and the court
discharged them. Messrs. Bradford and
Durham appeared for the plaintiff; and
Barber and Jeffords for the delendent.
trial of this character was something
new to tho people here aud the hall was
completely tilled with listeners. At the
next meeting Of the club ii is expected that

In their general fire all along the liuo of
possible Republican nominees for the Pres
idency, the Democrats have now got as far
as Senator Morton. What was designed to
be destructive train was lighted by the
World on Saturday. The explosion was
premature. The fragments thrown into
the air do not resemble tho Senator from
Indiana. They appear TO be the remains Of
Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, who is credited
with the authorship of this tremendous af-
fair. The charge is that Mr. Morton, when
Governor OF Indiana, received S25O, 900
from the United States Treasury, which he
misappled. The facts are briefly these:
During the early part of The rebellion the
Indiana Legislature had what was then
called ga copperhead majority" That ma.
iOrity returned Gov. MortOn's war mes
sage unopened, and attempted to vest the
control of the State militia in the hands of
four officers chosen by the aforesaid "cop-
perhead" majority. The Republican mi
nority lell the Legislature without quo
rum, and that reasonable trick was thus
defeated. The State was LEFT, however,
without money to carry on the Govern
ment. Everybody remembers Gov. Nor
toms arduous and patriotic services in that
crisis. He borrowed money to maintain
the State credit and keep Indiana in the
line of battle. Secretary Stanton advanced
the Governor $3.50, 900 from one of the war
appropriations of Congress. Every dollar
of that advance was repaid, and the ac-
counts of the Governor were satisfactorily
adjusted long ago. The less the Democrats
say about their shameful record during the
late civil war the better for them. Their
fellow-citizens are willing TO forget the
particularly dsgraceful part which Ihey
played in Indiana during Morton's admin
istration. Representative Springer was &C =
quilted the other day Of having brought a
lunatic into the proceedings OF an investi-
eating committee. If he is responsible for
this later incredible political blunder, his
party friends will be willing TO vote that
he has taken leave of his senses.-N. Y.
Times.

In this connection IL may be we'll TO re-
call the letter OF Mr.. Billings, written in
reply TO a communication received from
Mr.. Harris, and published some weeks
since in the Springfield Republican. This
letter would seem clearly TO indicate that
there must have been something in the let
Tor of Mr.. Harris TO call for tho expression,
"a clean departure from Grantism." The
perusal of all the correspondence between
Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Billings, aud Mr.. Her
ris and Mr.. Baxter, might furnish a choice
bit of entertainment, just now, TO the poo
pie Of Vermont.
We want a candidate for Governor who
is willing to stand by his record, who is
steadfast to principle, and unwavering in
his convictions of duty. In these times
the people readily see through the delu-
sions and little political tricks with which
candidates for Office attempt to conceal
their real purpose and object
1t is decidedly unfortunate for Mr.. Harris
IN view of his published letter, that so ma
ny persons here disagree with him in re-
gard to what he was in 1872. My opinion
is that If Hon. Jacob Estey had been Lib
eral Republican in 1872, lie would honestly
and frankly say so now, and no Liberal
Republican would need TO write to him TO
afford an opportunity to explain-confden-
tally, not for the public-that he was
strict party Grant man. Is not Jacob Es-
tey the kind of man we want for Cover
nor? VOTER.

May day for 1876 WAS not so "iovely as
a day in june" for the reason that the
snow blnks are still deep on the noun
tains and the winds blew strong gale
from the region of the Esquimaux. Still,
the day was not wholly cherries, for d.
version came in the way of a surprise par
ty, about seventy in number, including
The Dummerston cornet band, who met at
the house of VIM. o. Miller in the eve
ming. 1t was pleasant enter ainment, So
clally and musically. The band played ex
ceedingly well. The music upon the pi-
ano was fine. Refreshments were served,
and the many good things, including a
view of Mrs. Miller's rich plants and pref
ty flowers, those symbols OF beauty TO the
culture of which she is much devoted, am :
ply repaid and entertained all present for
having faced the bleak winds of the eve
ming that they might have a May days

A Word about Mr.. HARRIS "GreeIey-
tam."

Editor of the Velmon Phenir Sir !:
The letter of Mr.. Harris 10 Mr.. Baxter
which was published in the Rutland Globe
last Saturday, has occasioned considerable
comment. OF course the letter referred to
was not intended for publication yet 1t
seems little singular that Mr.. Baxter,
member OF the national convention which
nominated Mr.. Greeley for the Presidency,
should have made the inquiries purported
to have been made of Mr.. Harris, and that
the abored reply and ingenious explana-
tion of Mr.. Harris in regard TO his connec-
ton with "Greeleyism" should have been
so speedily published.
People in Brattleboro we'll understand
that Mr.. Harris was a supporter and warm
advocate of Mr.. Greeley until about the
time of the District Convention which
nominated Hon. Luke p. Poland for Con-
gross. Perhaps members Of that conven-
tion will recall the fact that when Mr..
Harris was questioned upon the subject of
"Greeleyism," he conveyed the idea that
he was a strict party man, but refused 10
dilSi0er The questions propOtnded. If B. d.
Harris was an advocate of Mr.. Greeley in
1872, and entered into that movement be-
cause he believed that there was need of
reform in the party, there is no occasion
now for him to deny that fact. A man
should act according 10 his convictions of
duty, and if he afterwards thinks that he
has made mistake he should frankly adj
init 1t, and not, for the sake of political
capital, partially deny and partially ex-
plain his past conduct.
The books of the Grant club of 1872 show
that Mr.. Harris was not a member OF the
club, and that he did not contribute dol
lar for its support. The books ofthe Gree
ley club have mysterlously disappeared /;
but II is well understood by many citizens
of Brattleboro that b. ID. Harris not only
warmly advocated the election of MIR. Gree
ley, but literally contributed for the sup
port of the Greeley club aud for a flag pur-
chased by that club.
