CRIME IN VERMoNT.-Wh does it
mean, and to what are we coming
Two brutal murders within the past
three weeks, in Vermont, and another
assault amounting nearly to murder ,
Two other horrible murders in the past
year, one at Highgate and another at
Derby, for which the perpetrators are
now committed and waiting the nee
essary trial. What do these things
mean? True, in this respect Vermont
Is not much worse than New Hamp-
shire and other New England States
but what comfort is that to innocent
people who are in constant jeopardy by
reason of this state of things Let the
people reflect and put their hands earn
eStly to the work of prevention, and see
to one thing at the outset, viz: that the
laws are strictly and certainly executed.

A Colorado Character.

A Texas paper of recent date records
the death of Jack Lynch, familiarly
known as deaf Jack, y who had been
confined to his room for several weeks.
Deaf Jack vas in some respects a re-
markable character. In1S64 he was stab
bed in the neckin an ARRAY in Colorado,
and took morphine to allay his suffer
ings. 1t soon developed into a habit,
and he continued to increase the dose
until finally he could not keep it on his
stomach. He then resorted to inject
ing under the skin, and before he died
he would consume in this way the enor-
nous quantity of ffty-two bottles a
month. OF late years he had been very
deaf, his limbs were partially paralyzed
and his skin had turneddark. He had
resided in Denison along time and near
ly every one knew him. He was ofjovi-
al disposition and had a good many
friends, especially among the sporting
fraternity, who supplied his necessities
and took good care of him during his
sickness. AfecN 1i4

New York, Dec. 13.-The case of
the Emma Silver Mining Co., (limited)
of London, VS.. T, w. Park, Henry H.
Baxter and VIM. NJ. Stewart, to
So, 900, 900, was up for trial this after
moor before Judge Wallace, in the U.
s. Circuit court.
The plaintiff is corporation created
in November, 1871, and is now existing
under the laws of Great Britain. On
February 18th, 1871, James F. Day,
jesse Smith, Warren Hussey, Francis
d. Cliff, Jos. r. Walker, NJ. H. Walker,
S.. s.. Walker, David F. Chisholm, Robt.
B.. Chisholm, M. NJ. Cummington and
John CuInmington claimed that they
owned the Emma mine, in Utah. On
the same day 7. w. Park purchased a
half interest in the property.
The plaintiff believes that Baxter
and Stewart were interested with Park,
and that the nominal price Park was to
pay for the half interest was $3.50 900,
but only 1876, 900 was paid; that at the
time Park and his associates became
interested in the mine it was almost
worked out; that the ore then remain
ing in the mine did not exceed in value
$3.50, 900.
Defendants organized in April under
the laws of the state of New York, the
Emma Silver Mining Co., with a nomi-
nal capital of $4,000, 900, divided into
$4,000 shares and distributed among
the defendants and the original owners.
They then put men at work in the
mine, and in September went to Lon
don to sell the mine. They procured
the services of Albert Grant, and sold
the mine toplaintiff for 81, 000, 600 ster-
ling, or about $5,000,000 in United
| States money ek6H
The plaintiff charges that Prof. Benz.
Sillimam, of New Haven, Conn.,, made
a false report of the condition of the
mine, he being bribed by defendants.
They also claim that the mine and it's
effects were not worth more than $780,
600. saiairo
t. The case will probably occupy the
attention of the court for weeks.
