SUICIDE

Daniel Wheeler and Miss Adams, both
of Fayston, were about to be married,
and when going for the license it was
found necessary to wait few days
until the expected bride would be eigh-
teen years old. Miss Adams was liy-
ing in the family Of Frank Green where
she was SO strongly advised to break
the engagement that when Wheeler
called upon her last Tuesday, she gave
him his letters, rings, ETC., and told
him to consider all marriages arrange
ments at an end. He replied that as
she was the only friend he had, he did
not care to live, and should kill HIM
self. She advised him to wait and
she would see him again. Wheeler
went home and told his folks that he
was in his right mind and had fully
determined not to live any longer, and
they watched him all that night. In
the morning he went out to one of the
neighbors, an uncle, and talking a
double barrelled shot gun went into
the woods and shot himself. 1t
appears that he placed the breach of
the gun against q tree and managed
to discharge both barrels at once, with
hooked stick, blowing large hole
through his body, and completely tear
ing out his heart. Miss Adams fol-
lowed as first mourner at the funeral
and now says that she will kill herself.

A VERMONT OUTRAGE.-Mslia Pay
son was taken to Rutland recently on
a writ of habeas corpus, issued by
Walter G. Dunton, one of the Su-
premc Court judges. She was sent to
the Insane Asylum by the Selec5nlen
of Rutland, it is alleged, at the in
stance Of the friends Of eX-General
II. II. Baxter. Mrs. Payson had
been arrested on complaint Of Susie
Ryan for alleged SANDER, which CON
sisted in writing letters detailing Grim
inal intimacy alleged to exist between
General Baxter and Miss Ryan. TO
suppress this suit, it was alleged that
Mrs. Payson, though sane, was placed
in the Vermont Asylum in an illegal
and unprecedented way, the Vermont
law giving the Selectmen no right to
decide who is insane nor to send any
insane person to the asylum. Mrs.
Payson appears perfectly rational and
her sanity is thought to beunquestion-
able. She relates that while in the
custody Of the jailor at Rutland he
struck her three severe blows on the
head and bruised her eye and should
er, placed her in the dungeon and ter
rificd her into consent to go to Brat
tleboro. An affecting scene occurred
when she alighted from the train and
was received by her mother.

WATERVILLE,

Our new mail carrier, G. w. Hulburd.
commenced Monday to carry the mail be-
tween this place and Cambridge.
c. TillotsOn has recently erected new
building, and Mason Chailec has pulled
down his old barn and is busily making
preparations to build new and enlarged
one on the same site.
One farmer has been quite successful in
destroying patato beetles, by the use of
a strong detection of American hellebore
or poke tea spriniled on his vines.
Fred N. Hulburd recently from Wesley
an University, will open n first-class Sc
lect school here the 10Th of August, next.
His previous success rs II teacher, and
classical attainments, bespeaks a school of
high order and usefulness.
Why cannot the citizens of this town
have circulating library? Thomas Car
lyle says that Il select library of books
thoughtfully perused is equal to a uni
versity course which may be putting the
question in pretty strong light; neverthc-
less, it may be asserted, it will have a
vast educational and moral influence when
ever it exists for good that cannot be
easily measured. As knowledge is oHe
of the few things in this world that the
more one gives the more he has, every
person ought to feel it Il duty to contrib
ute something in the common stock. Why
cannot some of our energetic young mcu
and women take hold of this matter and
see what can be done toward the formu-
ton of II library, worthy of the movers
and All ornament to the place?

The CapitOl Hotel,

Everybody that travels 10 interested
to know which hotel is the best. Now
we know of few in the state equal to
the Capitol at Marshall. 1t is simply
superb. We rejoice that Messrs. Whit
Ia IL Peppa have taken the old San
Jacinto in Dallas. They are the very
men to make it go, uuderits new name
of the Windsor. If they make 1t as
good as the Capitol, it will be every
thing it should be. We congratulate
Dallas upon the prospect OF good
hostelrie, which appears in the above

University of virginia.

The announcement OF the fifty.fourth
session Of this justly celebrated seat Of
learning will be found in our advertis-
ing columns. This institution was the
conception and creation of Mr.. Jefler-
son in his ripest and maturest years.
Describing the college curriCulumn
plan which required all students to
work in the same intellectual tread
mill without reference to differences of
aims, aptitudes or means, he adopted
the true university plan, the "elective
system" under which the student may
select such studies as are indicated by
his special tastes or proposed pursuits.
The Inauguration of this new depart
ure in American instruction was in
trusted to u corps of professors especial.
ly selected in Europe, and was at that
time the most brilliant assembly of
teachers on this continent. On that
list were, Dunglison, afterwards of
Philadelphia, Emmett, the brother of
the Irish martyr" Long, who still
holds the chair of Latin in the Univer-
sity of London, Patterson, afterwards
director of the United States mint,
Key, the celebrated mathematician,
and others equally eminent.
The modes Of instruction and gov.
eminent adopted by Mr.. Jefferson and
the faculty still obtain, and that they
are prominently successful is shown
by the fact that scores OF other institu
tions, both north and south, have
adopted them. Before the war the
university numbered nearly seven
hundred students. In no other Amer
lean institution is the teaching 80 thor.
ough, or the examinations 30 impair
tial and rigid. From others a diploma
is usually a certificate that the student
had an opportunity to learn; from the
University Of Virginia it Is an uBe-
quivocal certificate of knowledge &C.
quired, and is 80 accepted by all famil-
lar with its methods. 1t embraces four
great departments, that of medicine
consisting of five schools, law two
schools, agriculture four schools, liter
airy and scientific ten schools.

mates 1t $4,000 per annum. The in.
jurles Of the war, direct and indirect,
have been somewhat atoned for by
many munificent private gifts. The
late Mr.. Miller, Of Lyncbburg, gave 1t
100000; Mr.. Corcoran, of Washing
ton, gave $50, 600; Mr.. Brooks, of Roch-
ester, New York, gave 1t O,OOO dur
ing his life, and within few days
past bequeathed $4,000 in addition.

18th, when "A whole division OF R0uma-
nian troops crossed. Two others have
probably crossed by this time, together
with the Roumania prince himself,
who assisted at the operations from

thought of the value of Roumanian
troops, the appearance Of twenty-five
thousand on the flank and in the rear
of the Turkish position at Plevna,

be attacked likewise by a powerful

Fell I'm n Well.

A day or two ago, just at dark, az
an old colored woman was passing
along back of the cemetery, two or
three dogs began barking at her, when
she became scared and ran. Getting
of of the road in her flight, she fell
into an old well, some thirty feet deep,
and in which there is some eight or
ten feet of water. The opening OF the
well is partly covered with weeds and
rubbish, and she knew nothing of its
proximity till she tumbled in. Her
cries and lamentations reached the
ears Of Mr.. Bradbury, who went to
her assistance, lowered ladder, and
found the old woman up to her neck
in water, but firmly holding on to the
curbing CT the well. He assisted her
out, and strange to relate, she was but
slightly bruised. After her fright had
passed, her main source of uneasiness
seemed TO be the loss of two dollars
and half, which she stated she had in
her hand when the dogs attacked her.
