tB- A few days since the two-story and
attic tenement house of Joseph Leedom, in
Upper Wakefield, was "bombarded with
stones and clubs, by two characterless scamps
aged about IA years each, living near Browns
burg. Almost ever paine Of glass in the
building was knocked out, and In one or two
instances, the sashes were destroyed also. AS
these young villains progressed with their di-
abolical work, an eyewitness to part of the
proceedings says they would occasionally put a
bottle to their mouths, as though drinking
from it, but whether it contained anything or
not, and if so, what, is unknown. Mr.. Lee
dom, who estimates the damage done him to
be about $25, proceeded the same day of the
act to have the boys arrested, and hearing OF
this the lads shook the dust Of Pennsylvania
from their feet, and crossed over into New
Jersey The house has been unoccupied since

Lee, of New Hope, was rather taken down oil
a dog sale. 1t appears that his love for mon

an offer was made him of "$3 BILL" for
an exchange of the same; he readily yielded
to the temptation. Doc" was rather in
clined to think that he had made sharp barl
gain, sure; but alas, future disclosures un-
folded to him the fact, that the bill was as in
valuable as a counterfeit 80 bill possibly could

Centennial Notes.

The cash admissions TO the centennial
Saturday at fifty cents were 72,l5O; at
twenty-five cents, S2l The cash receipts
the week just closed are the heaviest OF
the exhibition, the admissions footing up
614,725 at fifty cents each. Pennsylva-
MIA week, including the twenty-tive-cent
admissions, exceeded this in numbers,
bit for fifty admissions alone the
present week takes the lead.
Oregon bears of the palm for grains
and wool, Here is sample of oats
yielding lightweight bushels to the acre
and with stalks eight feet high; rye,
eighty-seven bushels to the acre; wheat,
fifty bushels, and spring wheat, eighty
to one hundred bushels to the acre.
Among the wool is the fleece of the An
CORA goat, which has been acclimated in
Oregon Among the woods are the
beautiful Oregon maple, which has no
grain, but makes the finest wainscotings ;
red cedars and spruces with section
of the former which measured sixty
seven feet in circumference, and of a
spruce which furnished one hundred
thousand shingles and tifty-eight cords
of wood.

thousands of others, supposed the results
of the efforts were successful for all time.
The democrats are with the help of the
rebels, drifting the nation to the same
state of things existing in 1860 and
1871, and the breakers are not far dis

November, when the surge of the Hayes

clear away the storm, and thus leave the
country in safety in the hands of its
friends and preseryers.

rilaen Afraid Of Tweed.

A dispatch from Washington reports
that The acting Secretary of State pre-
sented communication from the Gov.
Of the State Of New York CTildenl re-
questing that on the arrival Of the Uni
ted States steamer Franklin at the port
Of New York, William NJ. Tweed be de
livered TO the sheriff of New York city
and county, and no person be atloaoed to
communicate aoih Ttoeed previous to his
transfer to the custody Of the sheriff,
AS Tweed is New York criminal the
United States officials can do no less
than accede to this request, and so Til
den will succeed in efectually muzzling
Tweed until after the election, unless
Tilden's sheriff ascertains that Tweed is
willing to "go easy" upon his old com
panion, the democratic candidate for
President.
A startling moral is conveyed in this
adroit trick. Mr.. Tilden was not so So
licitous for the public welfare before his
nomination for President. Not only did
Tweed have many liberties Of inter
view," but he was escorted about the city
in very free Style by Tilden's sheriHs,
and there is very general impression
that these sheriffs, to 60 no higher, were
not very anxious to prevent Tweed's es-
cape. In tact, before this campaign be-
gan, and before Tweed had so easily quit
the sheriff's quarters, he was about the
freest criminal Of his magnitude ever
known. But now it is suspected that he
end Woodward will have some interest
ing facts and papers to expose in refer
ence to the old firm of Tweed, Tilden q
Co, and one member of the firm, who
happens to be in authority as Governor
of New York, suddenly becomes alarmed
lest the public good shall be sacrificed
by too much conversation on the part of
the other members, who happen to have
fallen into his hands. Boston TrGrelIer,

MONTPELIER, Oct. "a, 1910.
The earnest work of the session be-
gins to appear. A portion of the time
some Of the seats must necessarily be
vacant, as several committees have Wis
its to make to state institutions, as for
instance those on Reform School, state
prison and asylum for the insane. On
Saturday joint resolution was adopted
authorizing the committee on the last
named institution to rove about to other
similar institutions. As they made SINH
lar soundings in 1872, some do not think
the state need to repeat the same ex-
pense again. The committee, however,
is composed of excellent men, including
three physicians, and it is thought
they win take no advantage of any
extra latitude.

Vermont News.

- George A. Tuttle Esq, of Rutland
while in his green house Tuesday, had a
fall, breaking his left arm at the wrist.
$50 The dwelling house of Geo. O.
Boyce, Of Fayston, Vt, was burned
with most of its contents Saturday night
the 2lst. A defective chimney was the
cause. Insurance $1,000.
- The Tuesday afternoon express
train south over the Vermont Central
Railroad, when going at full speed near
Williston struck an unknown man who
was lying beside the track just as the
train rounded the curve. The engineer
of the train did not observe the man I'M
til he got nearly upon him, The man
was severely injured and will probably
die. The railroad officials have cared
for him.
- John Donnivan, brakeman, was
knocked under the train while coupling
cars at Dandy, Friday evening. Two
cars ran over his legs between the hip
and knee, before he was rescued. The
flesh Of both legs was horribly mangled,
but, strange to say, no bones were brok-
en-. He died Saturday morning.
Daniel Burnham of Chelsea, fell
from the high beams of his barn few
days ago, the distance Of twelve feet.
He struck on the barn floor, which gave
him a severe shock, besides some other
severe injuries. 1t is strange that he
was not fatally injured. He is disposed
to think that the danger is not so much
in falling as in lighting.
The excitement Saturday morning
at Bennington over the Reeves and Cole
affair was more intense than ever, it be-
ing caused by Sheriff Crofut going to
Bennington for the purpose of taking
Reeves and Cole to Windsor state pris-
on for safe keeping. The prisoners were
chained together and taken off on the
eight o'clock train, Fears have been
entertained by great many that some
means would be taken by their friends
outside to liberate them. Friday night
Cole attempted to break jail, and did
ucceed in breaking one lock on the cell
door in which he was confined, but was
detected in time to prevent his escape.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD DECISION. -
On Saturday Judge johnson, Of the
United States circuit court, rendered a
decision in what is commonly known as
the Vermont Valley railroad case. 1t
will be remembered that in 1871 this
road was reorganized, the stock being
issued to the holders of the first mort
gage bonds of the road. Subsequently
the road was leased to the Rutland and
Burlington railroad company for a term
of twenty years. When the Rutland
road was leased to the Vermont Central,
the lease was transferred to the latter
company, and soon after the stoekhold-
ers of the Valley road brought suit in
the United States court to have the orig.
inal lease oil their road declared void
on the ground that it was made to the
Rutland road while Governor John B.
Page was president of the latter road as
we'll as president of the Valley road,
and that it was effected by his procure
ment, and upon the ground that the orig
inal lease of the Valley road was only
authorized by a directors and not a
stockholders vote. Judge Johnson's de-
cision invalidates the lease, and places
the Rutland road under very serious OBJ
legation to the Central for a nonfulil-
ment of contract. The Central road
were merely nominal parties to the suit

an ak, were found in his head, and the
body was thrown into the well headfore-
