Editor Rutland Globe Il noticed in
your Local Mention of May the End an
item that DR.. A. Kilburn had shot lsrge
American eagle just below the village
Tuesday. The bird shot by DR.. Kilburn
was not an American eagle, but an Ameri-
can osprey or fish hawk. Wilson says;
"This formidable, vigorous, winged and
well known bird snbsists altogether on the
finny tribe that swarm in our bays, creeks
and riyers, procuring prey by his own
active skill and industry and securing no
further dependence on the land than as
mere resting place, or in the usual season
spot of deposit for its nest, its eggs, and
its young"
This bird shot Tuesday by DR.. Kllburn
has mate which has nest in the vicinity
of the White Rocks near Wallingford, and
has nested in the same place for five years
to my knowledge. The male bird has had
customary route to make daily during the
month of April and part of May,
when the eggs are layed, which
keeps the male in the vicinity of its nest.
Now if the female bird 10 not further dis
turbed she will find n mate and continue to
lay her eggs.
This bird 10 not what you may call de-
struotive bird, but is hailed by the fisher
ermen along our shores as good omen.
They regard it as the hsrbinger of the ar
rival OF shoals of fish. NATURALIST.

Exhibition Of Fine Horses at Poult-
new.

uey'
The exhibition of fine horses, colts and
FLIES, which was held in Poultney, on
Thursday, was probably the largest ever
witnessed IN this section, and the horses
exhibited comprised descendants of the
best blooded stock in the country.
The day was ell one could ask for, and
at ten o'clock a. M, Main street, where the
exhibition was held, presented very i've
ly appearance.
There we're exhibited, in all, nearly
seventy horses, greater part of this num-
Der being stations; the Lambert, Hiland
Grey, Hambletonian and Blackstone stock
predominating. The horses were all meas
ured by Mr.. Rodney Ray of Hampton, af-
ter which process was completed, the street
was cleared and the trotting qualities of
the horses present we're displayed to good
advantage.
The grand cavalcade formed ON Main
street at three p. M, and headed by band
of music, it marched through the principal
streets, Mr.. Ii. Z. Armstrong as marshal.
The exhibition was largely attended by
people from the nelghboring towns of this
county, and also from Washington county,
n. Y, which taken together with our own
townspeople present, made quite large as
semblage..
Everything passed off in an agreeable
and satisfactory manner, and we trust the
occasion was one of mutual benefit to all.

How an Innocent Man Escaped the
GalloWs.

The recent case in Vermont of the con-
viction Of an innocent man of the crime of
murder, reminds me OF similar mistake
in Portland. Many years ago John Gould
was convicted of the murder of man
named Starbird. They were drunkards.
One morning Starblrd was found dead near
a rum shop at the mead of Central wharf.
At the inquest and on the trial of Gould,
the rumseller testified that lie and Star
bird were in his shop the night before, both
of them drunk and quarreling, and that he
turned them out Of his shop because they
were noisy and fighting. Starblrd was
found with his head fatally injured
On the testimony of the rumseller Gould
was convicted of murder and sentenced to
be hanged whenever the governor should
issue his warrant, and he remained many
years in state prison. But the rumseller
fell sick one day and just before his death
he confessed that it was he who had killed
Starbird by blow upon the head with an
iron weight. Gould was released from
prison.

John P. Phair.
HOW PHAIR RECEIVED THE NEWS.

HOW PHAIR RECEIVED THE NEWS.
A special dated Windsor, on Wednesday
evening, gives the following account of
how John Il. Phair received the news of
his respite.
Superintendent Spencer, in his happy
way, called Phair, who had retired, and
gave him the governors telegram, with one
from your correspondent at st. Johnsbury.
Phair said to Spencer, "What is the mat
ter Have you any newsY Is it from Gov
ernor Fairbanks ? Tell me, is 1t good or
bad? p "John, read it yourself, said Spen-
Ger. Phair took the telegram with trem-
bling hand and hesitated TO open 1t, but
cheering up he broke the envelope seal and
read it with great emotion. He expressed
himself scarcely able to speak he was go
excited with feelings of Joy. He said he
had long hoped and prayed for Justice, and
now he thanked the Almighty that at last
it was done. He said he had suffered all
but death and now he only hoped his life
would be spared to prove to the world that
his supposed dying statement was wholly
true. He said he could not express his
deep heartfelt thanks to His EXcellency
Governor Fairbanks, and he felt that God
had guided him and would bless him for
granting longer respite. He said that he
wished your correspondent to express pub
lie thanks to all who had aided in securing
the reprieve, and would give letter for
publication, expressing his gratitude to
those who had particularly conducted in
vestigations into the case. He retired late
tonight, passing the time previous mostly
in writing to absent friends. The reprieve
gives feeling Of relief TO all connected
with the prison as well as the citizens of
the town.

A Mans Fight with a Panther

Savage animals are not yet extinct in
Vermont, as Thomas Pegglngton of East
Richford found to his cost few mornings
ago. lie was on his way to his sugar
orcha I'd, in company with his dog, when
he suddenly came face to face with huge
panther. The dog was torn to pieces in a
twinliling, and the beast then turned his
attention to Mr.. Peggington, who, though
unarmed, kept his presence of mind, and
avoided the creatures fret spring by falling
on his face. The second time he was
caught by the shoulder, and desperate
struggle followed, both rolling over and
over on the ground and finally falling over
a precipice twenty feet high, which ended
the combat. Mr.. Peggington lay uncon-
scious for several hours until found by his
friends, and he is so severely injured that
his recovery is doubtful. The panther has
not been seen since the fray but it is
thought he was badly hnrt by the fall, and
party ofhunters are looking for him.
