The attorneys for the defense of En-
IA p. Smith and Mrs. Champlin, held
for trial for the poisoning of Smiths
wife, have discovered that q sister of
Smiths wife died several years ago
with the same disease Of which Mrs.
Smith died, and they will proceed to
exhume the remains to analyze what
ever may be found with view of dis
covering traces of poison. If all the
crimes laid at his door are proved,
he is indeed a most accomplished vii
lain. 1t is discovered that a part of
the property of Ira Mills, aged 10,
the orphan son of the murdered wo-
man, for whom Smith was guardian,
has never been accounted for, and q
petition for a list Of the property has
been filed before Judge j. ID. Smith of
the Vergennes probate court. Mean
time proceedings in bankruptcy on
Smiths property are in progress, and
it is yet uncertain how much his cred
itors will get.

SENATOR EDMuNDS.

We clip the following from an ex-
change, as interesting to all who take
pride in the ascendency Of our Senator,
Geo. F. Edmunds. In speaking Of
the leadership Of the Senator it says:
George F. Edmunds is its great
judicial leader, Morton its acknowl-
edged political leader. Out of their
intrinsic greatness, unconscious to 9TH
ers, if not to themselves, grew their
leadership. Leadership in such a
body Of trained intellects proves men
tai greatness. Not only comprehen-
siveness of mind is needed, but also a
large fund Of information with light
thing rapidity. Here Edmunds stands
without a rival. His command of his
varied resources is something wonder
full. Give him the floor, and dozen
friends and foes assailing his position
with constant Interruptions, and you
see him at his DISAPPEARANCE | might
say, you then see an exhibition OF
mental wealth and agility, rarely
equalled, never surpassed, in the SEN
ate of the United States. On such
occasions, the whole man aroused, his
strident voice carries his powerful ar
guments, his searching ridicule, his
scathing sarcasm, down through youl
intellect into your very consciousness.
You follow the track Of his sword on
ly by the fall of his opponents. The
colosseum Of old Rome never furnish.
ed equal enjoyment to its spectators.
At such times as these, when cloak
rooms are emptied, and the intense
absorption of the audience makes the
gavel an unnecessary authority, every
one is ready to say: "If Morton b.
lost to us" Edmunds can step up tC
all the varied heights of leadership.
Morton's superiority over Edmund'
lay in the fact that he more readily
reached those heights from where ht
bore down all opposition by the weigh
of his tremendous personality. Ed
mund's personality is equally great
but less often does he or can he exer
else it. Generally speaking Edmund'
places his cold and clear thoughts
against the minds and conscience o
his associates and with a grand hom
age to truth expects those minds anC
consciences to absorb that truth.
Everybody admits that Edmunds il
a man Of sterling integrity. His yet
means yea, and his nay nay. Hi
sometimes unamiability (and you mus
not expect men Of great force Away
to be amiable unless they are also yer,
great Christians) is chiefly manifested
by his too honest expression of con
tempt for an opponent or his argu
ment. Conseientiousness, perchanc,
too great mental independence, O
pride of opinion, may occasionally di
vert Edmunds from the party groove
but friends and foes alike know tina
there is no more intense Republican
in tho Senate. Devoted attachments

the Lamoille valley and crosses the
dead Greek, near the residence OF
I. Z. Chase in Fletcher, and upon the
land of 5. A. Risdon. and where the
patrons Of the expected station have
made temporary accommodations for
the travelling public and shippers OF
freight although our people have been
aware, for months, that the location
had been promised for another site.
When, however, all efforts had been
looked upon coldly by the present re-
ceiyers, and when the imperative or
der came that if the arrangement was
not made for the comfort of patrons
within one week, the depot would be
located some half a mile north, against
the desires of large majority ofthose
who furnished the and for building the
road and of those also who would be
expected to patrOnize the station, we
felt to ask to be excused from all re-
sponsibility in regard TO the matter
and if the station was not placed
where the receiver had so long and
faithfully promised its location we
wished the responsibility should rest
where it belonged. Such is the pres
ent condition of affairs in regard 10
our station. Our week has heightened
into nearly a month, and it will prob
ably extend into q year, under the
present management for we do not en-
10Y the condition of the present ar
rangement, by any means, but hope
for better, and more conducive deyel-
opponents, in course of time. | use a
pen that has served me for twenty
years, and for the first time has ever
written the words Of reproach, which
appeared in the article which you
copied from the Messenger, but the
cause has been very arbitrary. We
have nothing to do with matters be-
tween the lines of railroad, but when
the subject of a connection by which
our people would be accommodated to
Burlington and other places is broach-
ed only to be met Win scornlul, pro-
fame and vulgar words too obscene for
cultivated or even decent men to say
OF think, we grow indignant and ask
to be heard by the public in condem-
nation thereof. No man more fully
appreciates common civility and ordi-
nary courtesy than myself, but the
course of the receiver has been so
fragrant and notorious for the months
past that forbearance ceases to be q
virtue. At this point allow me to say
that so far as general usage to myself
is concerned, upon the p. & o. k. X.
no fault is found, for my theme is not
personal matter, in the least, but
one which reaches every contributor,
who has aided in the building of the
road either as creditor, taxpayer Oh
subscriber.

Christmas in England.

In my dear old mother-land, where
holidays come more frequently than
we can as yet permit them to come in
this new world; where Shrovetide,
Easter. Whitsuntide, the village sum-
mer feast, and Martinmas, are all
times ofjoyful sounds and good cheer,
Christmas always has peerless place.
In my childhood, as it drew near,
the earnest expectation of the crea-
ture' would grow to be almost intOler-
able. How well | remember 1.-THE
yule-cake in the oven, smelling as if
wise men had brought frankincense
and my rrh to our poor place also the
old yule-log, kindled from bit of the
old log, kept in white linen since last
year for the purpose. Then, OH Christ
mas eve. slumber troubled with ex-
cess of joy up to midnight. with the
joyful clash of church bells following
the last stroke of the clock, and ush
ering in the Christmas morning. Still
again, while the bells were ringing,
the singers would come shouting old
carols, in melodies never heard of at
any other time, long echoes of the an
gel-song gladdening all the centuries.
Then no more sleep after that; but
tumult of joy, breaking out every
where into Merry Christmasu and
transmitting one of the shortest days
into by far the longest day CT the
year while every cottage was decked
with bright holly, green as The green
of June.-RObert COLLyer.
