We hope the election in this state, be-
cause every one understands the result
in advance, is not going by default. 1t
is but little over three weeks to the day
of our state election, and the republi-
cans in every town ought at once to take
measures to poll their full strength. II
is the only opportunity Vermont has Of
casting any influence upon the presiden
tial election, and don't let us lose it by
sinking into state of lethargy.

it will be taken Burlington Free Press.

mark in congress" but he is fully en-

though what particularly entities him
to it, we are not told we presume it is
because he "spits on republican nomi-
nations; declares the party can have
harmony with him, but war without
him and couldn't give up the idea of
letting Grant have third term. We
have just had republican county con-
vention in this county, and the republic
cans have declared that man who runs
on "bolters ticket is not "entitled +"

Press is wiser than the republicans of

you must do it, or he will bolt that is

During the past week several Hayes
and Wheeler Clubs have been formed in
the state, among other places at North
field, Jamaica, Montpelier, St Albans,
Bennington, Manchester, &c. At St,
Adams one Of the officers of the club is
Henry c. Adams, who was the Greeley
candidate for Congress in 1872. The
meeting was also addressed by l.. b.
Greene of Cleveland, O., editor of the
Engineers Journal, who gave his rea-
sons for having recently left the demo
cratic party and for supporting Hayes
snd Wheeler in preference to Tilden and
Hendricks. In Castleton twelve Gree
ley republicans of four years ago have
announced themselves for Hayes and
Wheeler. and as to that most of those
republicans who voted for Greeley in
1872 in this state and the country, ar,
now heartily for the national republican
ticket.

1t is rare that the people have SO ex,
cellent and clean ticket, as that OF
Hayes and Wheeler. 1t is unspotted
and representative of the best political
elements Of the union, and especially as
covering all the great and important
events in the history of this country the
past sixteen years. Let the republicans
of Vermont therefore organize at once
to give it the full vote it deserves.

Murder at swanzey.
MAN FOUND WITH SEVERAL BULLETS IN
MS HEAD.

HIS HEAD
Joseph Perry, a man OF about %
years of age, living in the south part OF
the town of Swanzey, N, H., was found
in his cellar, at the foot Of the stairs,
Sunday morning, 3Oth ult, in dying
condition and unconscious. His face
was covered with blood and life was
nearly extinct On examination it was
found that he had been shot in several
places, one bullet striking him little
above heright eye, one on the left cheek,
and ball had evidently passed COM
pletely through his chest, entering it
about two and one-half inches below the
collar bone on the right side, and pas
sing downward through the lower lobe
of the left lung, and coming out behind.
Three bullets were also found on the eel
lar wall near the place where the body
laid. There was also a deep cut behind
the left ear, apparently made by some
sharp instrument.
Assistance was called and all done
that could be to restore him to conscious
ness, but without effect, and he died on
last Monday night. Near the body,
lying upon the cellar floor, was long
barreled shotgun belonging to Mr., Per-
ry, loaded and capped. Whether taken
down stairs by him for the purpose of
defending himself from the assaults of
his assailants who had driven him down
there, it is impossible to tell. The fact
that it was lying with the breach from
him, some think indicated that some one
beside Mr., Perry placed it there. The
indications are that some one stood at
the head of the stairs and emptied re-
yolver upon him, all the shots having a
decidedly downward tendency. The cut
on the back of the head near the ear
does not seem capable of an easy ex-
PLANTATION. Under the body was found
an old work shoe-knife, with hair like
that of the victims sticking to it. 1t is
supposed by some that he was going
down to cut some pork, the cover of the
barrel being off, it being known that he
was accustomed to use the knife for that
purpose, and that after being shot he
fell upon it in some way. The gun lies
in a position that it would not be likely
to occupy had it fallen from his hand
No clue seems to be found that throws
suspicion on any one.

THE VICTIM.

Mr.. Perry is bachelor, and has liv-
ed some seven or eight years on his farm
of about thirty-fve acres, living a sort
of hermit life. The house is low, one
story building of the most unpretentious
sort, and is in an unfinished condition,
apparently never having been plastered.
What motive actuated the perpetrator
or perpetrators of this horrible crime
cannot now be determined. Some if
teen dollars in money found upon his
person shows that plumber was not the
object Of the assault Nothing about
the house seems to have been disturbed.
Mr.. Perry was very eccentric man,
rough in speech and singular in various
respects. He has been very economical.
to say the least, in his way Of living, and
is said to be worth about three or four
thousand dollars, mostly money which
he kept deposited in a bank.

CHARACTER OF THE VICTIM.

A little circumstance that occurred
some five weeks ago shows that his &C.
centricities at times were manifested in
ways that were not calculated to render
his society pleasant. A nephew of his,
under the direction of the highway sur
veyor, also relative of Mr. Perry, had
made some repairs in he road near his
premises Mr. Perry was not pleased
with the work, and threatened to shoot
him if he came round there any more,
and one day snapped his gun at him
twice. The young mans suspicious be-
gan to be excited at that point, and he
ran behind the corner of the house.
Just as he disappeared the old man
fired, and the marks of the charge are
now pointed out on the corner. 1t is
supposed that some one came round the
house and bothered the old man, and
that he took out his gun with view of
Kidding himself of their presence, and
that they then shot him. Nothing is
really known about the affair at present,
except that he was foully dealt with by
Some persons unknown. The affair Gre
ates good deal of excitement in the
vicinity, and thorough search will I'M
doubtedly be made for the murderer

THE HYDEPARK OUTRAGE. Mrs
Perry has recovered sufficiently to give
an account Of the brutal affair. She
says that as she was STOPPING down to
pick some raspberries that hung under
the bushes, she was seized by masked
man and violently carried along the
fence dividing the garden from the pas
ture and running at right angles to the
highway. She was so frightened at frs
that she was unable to speak, and moi
until the cornfeld was reached did she
find voice to utter the scream which
alarmed her daughter and neighbors
At this moment a second ruffian, alst
masked, sprang out, and the two forced
some liquid into her mouth and beat her
when she lost consciousness some rod
from where she was found, after having
been tied, gagged and outraged. Mrs
Perry is forty years of age, is in feebl
health, and weighs only 50 pounds. Tn,
guilty parties are supposed to be tw,
tramps who stopped in Mr.. Perry's barn
Friday night. On Friday, the daughte
Rosa was sent to feed the turkeys, AM
looking over the fence saw man lyin,
with mask showed to one side of hi
face. She fed, while he called to stop
but she says she can identify the man

ty, and women and children are afrai,
