Der of the Washington Hose Company
| shot himself in the right breast, Friday
evening, and is likely to die. One al
legged cause is disappointment in love.
Another is that at Il dance of his hose
company, two nights before. he became
intoxicated, and on finding next day
that his uniform had been taken away
he felt the disgrace So keenly that he
had no desire to live.
Some one who has been investigating
the subject finds that the fifteen .jails in
Vermont contain an average of eighty
eight prisoners, confined on an average
of four mOathS. and none of them en-
ployed. The .jails are from five to fifty
Years old, some of them insecure and
unwholesome, and none of them adapt
able for labor. In two there are no
separate apartments for females only
one has IL library; in only three are
there stated religious services, and in
not one is there any hospital. The av-
erage cost of supporting the prisoners
is Sl5,OOO II year, and there is no in
come to offset it.
The very worst one yet is perpetra-
ted by the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser. That abandoned sheet has
the following: "A tObacconist friend
of ours, commenting on the electoral
hitch in Vermont, suggests that the
House can throw out Sollace it they
chews, but they'll have to give IA guid
pro quo"
Several of the relatives of the late
Hiram Bellows of St. Adams, whose
will left large sums for future educa-
tional purposes at st. Adams and Fair
fax, because they were either but
slightly mentioned or were passed over
altogether, are to contest the validity
of the will. They say, moreover, that
State Senator Edward A Soules, the
executor, who is the husband of Mr..
Bellows's adopted daughter, returns the
property as only about $500, 600, while
it can be proved TO be nearly double
that sum, and that he is trying to get IL
bill through the Legislature for his in
dividual benefit AS executor of this
estate.
As the train from the north, the 18th,
was passing through IL cut between
Salisbury and Leicester Junction lit
tie boy stood Oh the bank and threw
stones ut the train. One of them broke
the cab window and struck the cngi-
neer, Il. j. Curtis, on the nose, cutting
him badly. The train was stopped and
hunt was begun for the boy. He
was found at last, badly frightened,
under bed in house, up stairs,
where he had hidden himself when he
saw the train stop. He was questioned,
sharply reprimanded and let go.
The daughter of Lieut.. Gov. Arm
strong of North Carolina, was mortally
wounded by the discharge of Il pistol
which her brother was handling in her
presence few days ago.
