in receiving President Hayes, Tuesday.

tation can doubt. The state militia and
Independent companies united in es-
corting the Presidential party, and they

been one continued ovation, and such
as his character as citizen, soldier, and
Chief Magistrate of our country de-
serves. The President is at Harvard

Sad Development.

The disappearance of Miss Harring-
ton and the mysterious losing of the
trail is brought to mind by the recent
recovery of the body of the unfortunate
girl. The chief actors in the tragedy
were her seducer, the professional abor-
Zionist and her gang of assistants. The
abortionist is dead and must meet her
victim at another bar than law or pub
lie opinion, but the seducer lives and
the accomplices of the abortionist, and
it is to be hoped that rigid, impartial,
im.placable justice shall be melted out to
them. In this moral community such
practices as led to and ended this fear
full crime may not prevail, but there is
hardly a section of this country but is
cursed with infanticide, for such is it
pronounced to be by high ecclesiastical
authorities, and the ROmish church has
inveighed against its practice among
the members of her communion, wheth-
er under the cover of married life or a
fancied evasion of shame, and Bishop
Coke of the Protestant Episcopal church
issued a scathing letter to his Diocese
in N. Y. State upon the crime of abol-
ton some years since. With all our
law making and attempted or actual
enforcement of them, we cannot make
them too stringent, too full of caches,
pains, and penalties to fit the case of
the seducer and the abortionist, and the
enOrmity of either is not one jot or tit
tie, one single air's-breadth less than
cold blooded, passionless murder.

At Montpelier, a man in anger struck
his own head twice with f1atiron, but
didn't succeed in breaking either fiat.
A select party of about one hundred
ladies and gentlemen gathered at the
Pavilion, Montpelier, on Wednesday
afternoon, June 20, to witness the mar
riage of George r. Chapman, ESQ.,, of
Vergennes, States Attorney of Addison
county and clerk of the Vermont house
of representatives, and Miss Genevieve
IL. Camp, youngest daughter of Erastus
Camp of Montpelier. The ceremony
was performed by President Hubert of
Middlebury College, in the spacious and
elegant parlOrs of the hotel. The pres
ents, which were very numerous, were
all appropriate and in good taste. At
p. m, as Mr.. and Mrs. Chapman left
the Pavilion to take the train for Mont
real, the piazza was crowded with
friends to see them off and to ''throw
the slipper" at the bride. The scene
was both lively and amusing, as the
! couple passed out of the hotel to the
depot amid a shower of slippers from
the crowd above. After heightened
visit among friends in Wisconsin and
Iowa, Mr.. Chapman and wife will make
Vergennes their permanent home.

yet the price is comparatively much less

1T is well enough to be always


ready for defensive fighting, but
even the "fretful porcupine" does
not constantly keep his prickly
feathers set ready to puncture ever
thing and everybody that approach

them. We like to do battle for the

Reports from Europe so far
verify our prediction, that Russia
would not find the conquest of the
European provinces of Turkey a
holiday affair, if even the latter were
left to contend alone with her pow
erful foe. The Turk is not SO i'm
potent as has been told nor is his
government so utterly impoverished.
The facts which are developing show
much that is contrary to previously
prevailing notions, and even the
anti-Russian party in England con-
cede that there is no imperative ne
cessity for rushing Immediately to
the relief of Turkey. Russia's move
nents have not been sufficiently
rapid to take the Turk by surprise
and the latter shows himself to be
vel! prepared for the war. AS yet
it is impossible to conjecture the
duration of the contest, but the in
dications are that it will not be so
protracted as was first believed.

here that this is our excuse for de-
