A complaint Is made that in men,

in Hollywood whose graves were deco

We omitted many who We're worthy, Of

SENATOR GROVER CLEARED.

We have purposeIy refrained from
expressing any opinion OH the case
brought before the commission sent
out from Washington, for the purpose
OF investigating the frauds alleged to
have been perpetrated in the election
OF Senator Grover. yI ..s.. 'rigs 1.:ss-Ul
Now, however, that the commission
has concluded its tabOrs, and the evi-
dcnce has been published, we are free
to say that no man ever underwent
stich an ordeal aud achieved greater
triumph than the distinguished gentle
man against whom the impeachment
was organized. Senator Grover was
not only proved guiftiess of any attempt
at bribery, but the very men upon
whose testimony 1t was hoped to con-
vict him were proved TO be u pack of
worthless tools, ready TO trump up any
charge in the hope that they could
make money out OF their perjury. Out
side of Highly, styles and a few other
political parasites, there were not
dozen men in Oregon who actually
believed that any illegal means were
used by Senator Grover to secure his

A strange discovery Is reported from
the Lake OF Geneva. a tourist having
lost his trunk, two divers were em-
Iployed to search for, II. While they
were below water they found what
they supposed to be II village, since
covered by tho lake. Their statements
led TO an investigation OF tho spot by
the municipal authorities, who took
measures to ascertain tho truth OF the
extraordinary account OF the divers.
On covering the ptncid surface With
oil these latter were able to distinguish
the plan ofa town, streets, squares aud
detached houses marking tho bed Of
the lake. The ruddy hue which char
act ieriZetl them led the observers to sup
pose that the buildings had been cover
Ell with the famous Vermillion coment
which was used by the Celta, Cimbri
and the early GaulJ. There are about
2OO houses arranged over 40 oblong
| SURFACE, near the middle of which Is =
space more open supposed to have been
used for public assemblages. At the
eastern extremity lies a large square
tower, which was taken for a rock. A
superficial investigation seems to indi-
cate that the construction Of these
buildings dates from some centuries be-
fore our era. The COun I'll or Vaud has
decided to have the site of the dwell
ings enclosed bya jetty stretching from
the land, and to drain off the water, so
a. to bring to light what promises to
be one OF the most interesting arcfieto-
! gifal disroVerIeS Of our day. ..' -. -"

The press, politicians and business
men Of the Southern States are getting
worked up to good deal Of interest in
the speedy construction of their pro-
posed railroad through Texas to the
Pacific coast, aud their demand for
Government assistance to it threatens
now to be pressed with constantly in-
Icreasing power, until, in some shape
thus compactty and vigorously put by
Mr.. Frank 8. Rond, the vice-president
of the road, into whose hands the prac-
itical management of the enterprise has
been placed:
"Hhe question Of n Southern Pacific
road is very simple proposition i; it is
simply whether twelve Southern States,
with a population Of IL ,5O0, 900, and an
area of 789, ,a75 square miles, with l5,.
COZ miles of railroad in operation, rep
resenting a capital account Of $523, sos, >.
223, shall have q direct connection with
Mexico and the Pacific coast, and sl,al
be permitted to enjoy the advantages
that her natural position will insure e
her with such connection; and it is foI
the Southern Senators and members O
the next House to say whether or not tht
! advantages Of the Texas and Pacific
Railway line to the Pacific ocean shall
DO open to their constituents within
the next four years. They; have only
to say they want it, and there are
enough votes to give it them as AN act
of simple justice to the South. But i,
will never be forced upon them against
their wishes. ."-iSpainafe'tt (Aiuss.) Re.

TODD young farmer, who lives in what
is known as ''COpenhagen," carried his
wife to st. Johnsbury, on Saturday, to
visit her friends who reside there.
Towards night he started as he said to
go home and do his chores, intending
to return for his wife. He did not go
home, and therefore did not return. 1t
was ascertained afterwards that he pro-
cured team of one Guyer, and boy
to drive it, On reaching the vicinity
of Willoughby Lake, early Sunday
morning, he told the boy that he was
up there to arrest man, and that it
would be less likely to create suspicion
if he approached him on foot. So he
sent the boy back. Parties who went
for Hoag on the boys story, traced him
to Island Pond but at the present
writing nothing further has been heard
of him. There is no reasonable way to
account for Hoag's conduct. We have
not heard that he ever had any trouble
with his family. He was on Miles
Hovey's paper, so stated and before
he left St. JOhnsbury he got check fol
over one hundred dollars cashed at the
First National Bank. This check was
drawn by A. ID. Hibbard of Boston, and
was in payment for butter. 1t is ru-
mored that Hoag had been drinking

P. S.-Since the above was in type

on Saturday, Hoag bought lot of to-

OUl1udIy.
Dea. James Harlow died at the resi-
dence of his son in this place, on Mon
day of this week, at the advanced age
of 81 years and three months. At the
time of his death, we think he was the
oldest man in town. Mr.. Harlow was
born in Cornish, N. H., and when 81
years of age moved to Irasburg, Vt,
where he lived until nine years ago,
when he came to spend the remainder
of his days with his son, James A., in
this village. Mr.. Harlow was man of
remarkable vigOr for one of his years,
being able to be out upon the street
and to church up to the present winter,
with his mind clear and faculties I'M
impaired. He was shut into the house
but about two weeks, and died of old
age. He leaves wife, 90 years of age.
The Hon. Lucius H. Moves died at
Hyde Park on Sunday morning, Feb
4th, at 3 o'clock. Judge Moves, as he
was familiarity known, has been prom
inent and influential man in Lamoille
county for many years, and the news
of his death will be learned with sincere
sorrow by all who knew him. He was
president of the Lamoille County Banl
at the time of his death, and also pub
Usher of the Neacsdealer. His funera
took place at his late residence, OIL
Tuesday.
Under the appropriate head las
week we made the announcement o
the death of Enos Stevens, Esq, o
Barnet. Mr.. Stevens was of remark
able family. He was eldest son o
Vermont's antiquarian, and was ;
brother of Mr.. Henry Stevens, F. R. S.
and Mr.. B. F. Stevens, the United
States Dispatch Agent at London, anC
of Mr.. Simon Stevens of New York.
