General Summary.

An Iowa paper tells of smart wife who
helped her husband to raise 70 acres of

An extraordinary scene occurred at the
proroguing of the parliament at Ottawa
last week. The governor-genera was pro-
ceeding to the parliament house. Major
Sparks, in command of the escort of caval-

and on remounting nearly ran into the
governors carriage, when his excellency
ordered his sword to be taken from him
and had him placed under arrest.
The winter was extremely mild in Ice
land, horses and sheep being able to SUBJ
sist in the open air, without shelter, until
the middle of January. The fish harvest
in the western part of the island was good
one, but in the southern part the yield was
a poor one. and the people consequently
suffered from lack of provisions.

Historical Notes.

A venerable old lady of North Stonington,
now in her ninetY-ninth year, known as the
Widow Patty Stanton, is the grand repre-
sentative OF five different generations. She
was married when about fourteen years Of
age to one Mr.. Main, and since to Deacon
John Stanton. Her first issue died in in
fancy her second, the worthy Prentice
Main, has already seen eighty bright and
happy summers, and is hale and hearty yet.
Strange, and yet true, the impaired eye
sight of the old lady, caused from age, is

marry, she thinks, il she could but believe
that the man would seek her money the less

loyed love.

Meeks, who murdered Mccormick two
years ago, wac hanged at Cedartown, Ga.
Chin Nook Sow was hanged at San Fran
cisco for the murder of one of his country
men December 10, 1875. He was convict

tanned his innocence to the last.
Three of the ten colored Lowndesville,
Is. Co. murderers, Wightman Allen, John
Allen and Jenkins Whitner, were hanged
at Abbeville court house, the sentences of
the other seven having been committed to

A Bad Dog.

Recently, In Montpelier, as ]. M. Poland
and wife were going from their house, he
tied up his Newfoundland dog, but had
gone but q short time before 1t broke the
chain and escaped. Going to the house Of
A. Ropes, the dog was again secured, but
its whining enlisted the sympathy OF Mrs.
Ropes, who released 1t, her husband having
shortly befure taken daughter and gone to
walk. AS soon as released the dog was
apparently taken with ft, and sprang to-
wards Mrs. Ropes, who by speedy move
ment succeeded in escaping the animal. 1t
ran through the open door, and into bed
room, where another daughter was lying
i'll, and sprang on to the bed, endeavoring
to bite the young miss. She, however, had
covered herself with the bed clothes and
succeeded In preventing the dog doing her
any injury. The cries OF her mother for
assistance brought Charles A. Reed, who
passed the dog "over the valley" with re-
volver, and it is now at rest.-Argtts.

The statement telegraphed throughout
the country, and published in our tele-
graphic columns, Saturday,that Chin Nook
500, hanged at San Francisco, Friday, was
the first Chinaman executed in this couH-
try, seems to be mistake. In July, 1866,
one Cum Wong, also Chinaman, was
executed in San Francisco for the murder
of his mistress. Since that time there have
been thirty-six murders by Cinnamon in
that city-this Chin Nook 500 having COM
mitted three of them-but this was the
first execution, making two in all in that
city and in the whole country. 1t is stated
that Chin Nook Soo-otherwise called All
Sue-was anxious to be hanged, but wanted
no prayers, his belief in Confucius giving
him all the consolation he needed.

NOT so "HUMILIATING" AFTER ALL.

While it may be true that Vermont in
stitutions, Vermont customs, Vermont
practices, and Vermont laws are not in
every respect what they should be; and
while tits true that many OF our laws should
be repealed, and more should be amended,
that our constitution is sadly in need of
general revision and that general reform
would not come amiss in several directions;
yet, after all, Vermont, Vermonters and
Vermont institutions are not 80 very black
as they are sometimes painted, and the
state its laws and institutions will compare
more than favorably with her sister states.
There are abuses enough to be exposed and
corrected, without drawing on the imag-
nation for them.
Thus the st. Adams Advertiser, in con-
sidering the Phair case under the head of
some humiliating truths" seems to labor
under the impression-at least, that is the
idea 1t conveys---that Vermont is the only
state in the Union,or in the world, that does
not place it's treasury at the disposal of a
man accused of high crime We need not
say how absurd the idea Is, or how prepos-
ferrous is the proposition that the state Is
bound to furnish unlimited funds to man
accued of crime in order that he may make
a successful defense The idea is utterly
ridiculous, and it is sufficient to say thai
such practice nowhere prevails, ant
that with its practical adoption, crim'
would run riot and there would be al
end to punishment for crime.
Passing by the statement of the AdOer
tiser, that Phair "had no pecuniary aid il
"the preparation of his defense, ezcep
what the law allowed him to draw from
the state treasury"-which is untrue II
fact-it states, and we desire to call psrtic
ular attention to the statement, that "ther
I" 10 no limit to the amount of reward tina
"may be offered" and then, after brie
discussion of this proposition, 1t goes on
say; "Let us gee how this is done in Vel
"mont. Remember any amount may !

Friday, as we are reliably informed. Keefe
gave him notice that he could not stay any
longer at his house. Hearing Of this, some
of Hickey's friends demonstrated with
Keete, and one Of them, an overseer in one
Of the yards, offered to become responsible
for Hickey's board, if Keefe would allow
him to remain in peace the remainder Of
his life. Keefe, however, absolutely re-
fused to keep him any longer. Hickey's
brother thereupon obtained lumber wagon
and with the aid of one or two others un-
dertook to remove him to another boarding
house but had only got half way thither
when they found that they were carrying q
corpse. The excitement and effort Of the
removal had exhausted the small remains
of Hickey's strength, and he died in the
wagon.

The Catholic archbishop of Quito was
poisoned, Good Friday, by strychnire
placed in the sacramental wine-and our
neighbor will find consolation in the fact
that the sacrilegious outrage is ascribed to
the Freemasons. But, fortunately or un-
fortunately, this charge, like the one made
by him against the Rutland masons-that
they substituted the word "devil" for that
of "God" wherever it appeared in their
rituals utterly without foundation in fact.

Kimball Union Academy.

The many students and alumni of Kim
ball union academy, of which Rev. Lewis
A. Austin is principal, will be glad to know
that it is the purpose to have gathering Of
their number at the close of the school
year, the goth of June. 1t is desired to
provide for yearly gathering of former
pupils, with appropriate exercises, on one
day of graduation week. 1t seems most
fitting that an institution that numbers its
sons and daughters by thousands should
seek to call them back from time to time, to
review old acquaintance and strengthen the
ties of sympathy and interest.

MONDAY, MAY 7, 1877.

The last sensation comes from Salt Lake,
and ls to the effect that the Mormons are
banding together and arming for the pur-
pose of resisting the United States govern
ment. This is too good news to be true.
If they could only be persuaded to get up a
little rebellion, the United States would
make quick work of it, and wipe out it
and, at the same time, Mormonism and
polYgamY.

The Recent Land Slide in Canada.

The survivors Of the land slide on the
river Veillet in the parish Of st. Genevieve,
province of Quebec, say that only five were
swept away. The slide occurred half a
mile above the mills. The hills on either
side slipped into and down the river, carry
ing the water before it. The bed OF the
river is filled with trees twisted into all
shapes and huge blocks OF clay and mud.
The whole affair took only few minutes.
The body of child is still missing.

Debility and Nervous Headache

Chronic, sick or nervous headache is
generally dependent on, or accompanied
by, impaired digestion, by which the circu-
lstion and nutrition Of the brain are de-
ranged, and the nervous centres vitiated.
The PERUVIAN SYRUP, by reinvigorsting
the digestive powers, lays the ak at the
root Of the tree; the brain Is duly nour-
ished, the nervous symptoms cease, and
the headache disappears.

The Black Hills.

A gentleman reaching Omaha direct
from Dead wood says, as reported in the
Omaha Bee: He left Deadwood
Wednesday noon, by the Sidney route
laid over at Red Cloud one night,
and reached Sidney Saturday noon.
This is the quickest time ever made.
That Deadwood is like Broadway New
York, being crowded 80 it is almost i'm
possible for man to move along the
street. The floating population is equal
to, if not greater than, that of Omaha
during the Pixies Peak excitement, or
while the Union Pacific Railroad was be-
ing built.
As far as business at DssdwoJd is
concerned, it is greatly overdone.
Merchants came there with heavy stocks
of goods, on which they paid freight of
eight or nine cents pounI, while freight
is row being laid down there at four
cents.
Gold-dust is being taken by the
merchants st $40 per ounce, while the
banks pay only Sl7 rs, which is all it is
worth. Merchants, however, are so
anxious to get rid of their goods that
they will allow the $50 rate. This is q
great detriment to business and will
not be rcmedied until uniform
standard, based on actual value is fixed.
The country is all right; the mines
are paying we'll; new and valuable dis
coveries continue to made; the quartz
leads are proving to be very rich, and
SIX or seven stamp mills are making
money; but, notwlthstaI ding all this, 1t
is a fact that the new gold region, which
is only just beginning to DO fairly de-
veloped, cannot at present support tn"
vast number of men who are hooking
thither from every State IN the Union.
The hotels are all full, and 1t is almost
impossible to secure lodgings. Many
men who came there dead broke have
not bettered their condition, and are
coming out. 1t is no place for money
less man.
Business no doubt will be brisk this
summer, aud considerable money
will be made in the hills by some men.
On his way out he met at least 600
men going into the hills via the Sidney
route, and $50 left Bismarck last week
for DeadWoOo, ana u was reporIeu tuat
between 800 and 400 men are on their
way in from Fort Pierre.
Prices of provisions are very low In
the hills at present, owing to the brisk
competition Of dealers, who have heavy
stocks on hand Sugar which costs IL
cents laid down there sells for ~ cents
in gold dust at $40 per ounce; liquors
which cost S. so laid down there sell
for a in gold dust; and all other things
in proportion; so 1t will be seen that
the protits are not very heavy.

New York Wool Market.

We have on the whole an unsettled
and rather stupid market. No one ap-
pears to hcve the least inclination to in
vest in wool except as may be necessary
ia keep little stock together or satisfy
the present wants of the looms, and it Is
impossible to infuse the least particle of
interest among buyers. Manufacturers
of all kinds OF fabrics are slow about COM
mencing: operations for the incoming
seasons, as they find it difficult to deter

IN the way of supplies OF material at what
the margins are likely to be on the cost
OF production. This feeling, of course,
reflects itself though the entire marke',
and segotstions seldom assume proper.
