The crane-Jewett Defalcation.

The Indictment against Mr.. Edward
A. Jewett for embezzling funds of the
U. S. government, has been withdrawn
1t will be remembered that the U. S.
Marshal went to Chicago and arrested
Mr.. Jewett and brought him to Yer
mont some years ago, on charge of en-
bezzling funds from the government Il
few years previously, while acting as
clerk fol- A. j. Crane, collector. After
running the suit all these years, and
putting Mr.. Jewett to endless annoy
ance and heavy expense, it has been
withdrawn. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Crane, the collector, was i'm
prisoned for the offence he charged up
on Mr.. Jewett. The many friends of
Mr.. Jewett will he gratified at the vir-
tual admission of his innocence by the
withdrawal of the Indictment. 1t is
now in order for the st. Adams. Bur
lington and Montpelier papers to look
over their files of Dec. 1873, and Octo-
Der 1874. They give some very inter
esting reading in the light of events
since transpired.

are to be congratulated upon the very
successful rendering of the Operetta of

and Friday evenings of last week. The

especially on the first evening, it being
quite rainy; but the large attendance
showed the interest all had in the en-
tertainment.
company of mountain girls dressed
in white with sun hats trimmed with
flowers in their hands, first presented
themselves upon the stage, which
was covered with forest trees. A
part were seated under the branches
of the trees, and the others were wind
ing May-pole with red, white and blue,
and all singing in beautiful mountain
chorus. They were suddenly inter
rupted by the approach of beggar
woman, with three little children "all
tattered and torn" The beggar was
Miss Addie Hubbard, who afterwards
was found to be the Queen of the Fairies,
though now in disguise, and was treated
with contempt by the assembled party,
till one of their number, Laila, came
forward and received her with kindness
The next scene at first found Laila
who was personated by Miss Flora
Brown, wandering about in wild terror
among the trees, hunting for her mates
from whom she had unconsciously stray
ed. In her distress she sung the song
'Fm lost! Pm LOST" after which band
OF fairies with their queen, all daintily
dressed in white and green, and cover,
ed with gilt and spangles, glided i'll be-
beautiful appearance that she soon join
ed them to go to their fairy-land.
In the last scene the mountain girls
again appeared, mourning in sad song,
the loss of their dear companion, who
however, was soon brought back tc
them by the fairies. Their Queen re,
vealed to them their disglfise as beg.

slowed upon the poor and suffering
The scene ended by Il gilt crown being
placed upon Laila's head, and Joyful
chorus song, 'LOng live Laila."
beautiful tableau, introducing all the
mountain girls and fairies, with red ant
green lights, closed the entertainment
The singing of the solos, Duets an(
choruses was very good. Miss Brown
as Laila, rendered four or five sol,
passages with great acceptance, as wa
manifest by the hearty responses of tin
audience. Miss Oracle Knights ais,
gave song, in an unassuming manner
and sweet voice. Miss Addie Hubbard
as the beggar woman, sung ''Poor home

also as Fairy Queen two or three othe
songs. Other solo and Duet passage
were rendered very well by Miss Alb

was quite amusing to the lockers on.

Passumpsic.
In accordance with our usual custom,
we last week gave Geo. C.. GoOdell an
opportunity to speak for himself. We
have since ascertained from the court
the evidence which appeared at Good
ellis examination, which was in brief
this: GoOdell went to the st. Johns
bury Catholic Church of an GRAND, as
he stated, where the conversation &C.
CURED in regard to removing his hat,
etc. He was afterwards telling of his
adventure in WOOds's store, when Rash
made some offensive remark to him, to
the effect that he should have known
enough to have taken his hat off when
entering church. GOOdell took Offense
at this, and then they both said foolish
things. Goodell admitted on trial that
he went around the other side of the
in the face. 1t was proved by other
witnesses that he afterwards put Rash
out of the store, and when outside,
struck him a severe blow in the eye
so severe that it was badly discOloTed
on the day of the examination. Rash
did not strike GOOdell. Two weeks ago
correspondent gave the fact of the
assault very briefly, and not nearly as
strongly as the facts would have war
ranted; at which Goodell came out in
Il card last week over his own name,
calling the statement "entirely false,
and "made either maliciOusly or
through needless neglect" Which
simply shows that either Mr.. Goodell is
very reckless in his statements, or else
he entirely forgot what occurred on the
night i'll question.
