named Green, being the only ones. Ira
Brainerd and Gov. Palmer were the
committee empowered by the county
to build this stone Jail which took the
place of an old dilapidated wooden
structure. We believe the new jail was
built at the expense of this town and
when the county seat was removed to
st. Johnsbury, the town was offered
500 for the building, to be used in the
construction of new prison at St.
Johnsbury, but the inhabitants of DAN
vile got up on their dignity and refused
to sell the property, evidently thinking
that no other material could be procured
wherewith to build the Jail at the new
county seat, and just at that time there
was not much friendship existing be-
tween the two towns, the Danville
people being exceedingly indignant be-
cause they were to be deprived of their
county buildings. But generation
has since passed away and now the
building will soon be transported to St.
Johnsbury, and transplanted in st,
Johnsbury soil. The estimated cost of
removal is 5000.

SIDE. The audience room is not at all
iike any other in this place, or in the
state, so far as we know. The singers
gallery is in a small recess on the east
side of the room, elevated about four
feet from the floor. Directly in front
of this is the minister's desk on little
lower elevation. From this point the
pews rise in each direction, except back
of the speaker, on an inclined plane
each pew rising three inches as they
recede from the pulpit. The total rise
Is about four feet in some 81 feet. Al
though the audience room looks small.
1t will seat between $50 and 400, and
they will all be in plain sight of the
speaker, the grade being such that a
back seat will be as good as front one,
so far as seeing is concerned. The room
is not oblong, like most churches, but
nearly square. 1t is finished up into
the roof, and the handsome frescoing
makes it exceedingly attractive. The
windows are of stained glass and of very
handsome design. Messrs. Dow g. Co.
intend to have the work inside all COM
pleted in about three weeks, when there
will undoubtedly be another church
dedication in town.

The Odd Fellows Excursion.

The excursion of the Odd Fellows of
northern New England to the White
Mountains on last Thursday was not SO
largely attended as was expected. The
arrangements were not perfected and
many failed to go on that account.
Nevertheless goodly number were
present, mostly from Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont, and the day,
to those present, was very enjoyable.
1t was one of the loveliest autumn DAYS,
and the view of the mountains was
grand. Public services were held in a
large tent near the Crawford House,
which consisted of singing the Odd Eel
lows Ode, prayer by the grand chap
lain, and speeches. Samuel B. Page OF
Woodsville, was chief marshal. George
Cummings of Concord, N. H., Grand
Representative, gave the welcome ad-
dress. AlOnzo F. Craig, G.. NJ, respond
ed for the Grand Lodge of New Hamp-
shire, and Rev. B. NJ. TillotsOn for Yer
mont. Joseph Kidder of Manchester,
Grand Representative, spoke for the
Grand Lodge of the United States.
Rev. Mr.. Mckinney of Manchester,
G. NJ, spoke for the Order, and
remarks were made by True Os-
good, p. G. NJ, and Rev. Mr.. Conger OF
Concord. This was the first annual ex-
cursi0n. The next will doubtless be
better completed in its arrangements.

Deceived and Deserted.

A week ago Saturday, Daniel Bon
nett of Waterford, was arrested at the
instance of Sarah E. McCascO of Dan
vile, OH charge of having asserted
marital privileges under the promise OF
marriage, and then neglecting and re-
fusing to marry her. He was taken to
Jail where he denied ever having prom
ised to marry her, except Sin fun
After languishing in Jail "a few days,
and being subjected to the rallies and
gibes of the other prisoners, he cOnclud-
ed to write to the girl to visit him. She
came, when he offered her all his prop
erty, consisting of some money and g
team, if she would release him. This
she refused, and he finally consented tt
marry her, and the ceremony was per-
formed by TIial-Justice Lewis in the
jail, when the girl returned to her pa
rents, and Bennett was bailed out by
Lorenzo Green, for whom he was work.
ing. The girl came of respectable
family, and those who know her speat
well of her. She was cruelty deceived
by Bennett, and now he attempts tt
cast her off altogether. There must b'
a retribution for such men, for God ii
just.

Workmen commenced laying the
foundation stones of the new North

sary to dig very deep on the southeast
side of the lot, to get below the ''maden

filled. Near the rear line was once
very respectable lin size) frog pond.
The heavy granite stone taken from the
Danville Jail ale being planted along
the front and under the tower, which is
to be on the southeast corner. At this
point the wall goes down ten or twelve
feet below the surface. After layer
of these heavy faced stone is put in, a
flood of water is poured in from the
hydrant near by, and then sand is
tamped in. 1t is intended to have a
foundation that will not settle. Mr..
Albert Danforth of Danville has charge

Bristol Bill.


The finding of the key which Bristol
Bill made in Jail at Danville, and which
was never seen by any one save Bill
until the jail was demolished last week,
revives somewhat the history of this
noted criminal. Bristol Bill (whose
real name was VIM. Warburton) was
arrested in 1850, together with Chris
tian Meadows, McLane Marshall, Peter
M. Paul and Ephraim Low, for counter
feiting. They had headquarters in
Groton, from which they issued bogus
money. Low died in Jail, Marshall and
Paul turned states evidence against the
others, and only Bill and Meadows were
convicted both of counterfeiting, and
Bill also of having in his possession
burglars tools with intent to break into
banks. Bill was sentenced by Judge
Poland to state prison for ten years.
and Meadows for much shorter term
After sentence was pronounced, and
while Bliss N. Davis,-whO was states
attorney at the time and had secured
their conviction,-was speaking to some
one, Bill sprang upon him and thurst a
sharp pointed case knife into his neck,
about half an inch from the jugular vein
