turned from the young man first pur-
sued, and attacked the other. The first
man then got clear and rushed into
Dunn's. The second endeavored to
follow, but the mob were so close that
those inside shut the door suddenly,
and he was at the mercy of the crowd.
In this alarming position, elevated
above the surging multitude, he drew
his revolver and fred into them. The
mob then began to fire, when two balls
struck Hackett, and he fell to the
ground, and shortly after expired. The
police subsequently cleared the square.
R. j. Morrison, clerk in Sims pro-
vision store, Charles Boon, tailor, and
Edward Geraux, a painter, were wound
ed, though not fatally. A woman, I'M
known, was wounded and taken home.

The slight outbreak in Montreal, and
the larger conflict that had threatened
but was prudently avoided, were of the
same character and between represen-
tatives of the same parties as the fight
in New York few years ago when Col.
Fisk's regiment was assailed while try
ing to preserve the peace. 1t was an
other ebulition from that chronic state
of i'll will that has existed between
Catholic Irishmen and Protestant Irish
men ever since the battle of the Boyne,
fought nearly two hundred years ago.
1t is therefore but feature of that con-
slant struggle between the two great
branches of the Christian church. The
fight on the Boyne was between two
English Kings, each of whom claimed
equal dominion over Ireland. and both
of whom had some Irish troops. But
William was a Protestant and James
was Catholic, and as the latter was
defeated, many of his adherents and
their followers have made the mistake
of suppOsing that had he succeeded he
would have given Ireland independ
ence.

Congratulatory and Historical.

1t is with feelings of great satisfac-
ton that we announce the completion
of the Essex county, Lamoille Valley,
and Montpelier and st. Johnsbury Rail
Roads, which corporations constitute
the Vermont Division of the Portland
and Ogdensburgh Rail Road Line, and
reaches from the Connecticut River to
Lake Champlain, distance of 100
miles.
1t must have been with ne ordinary
feelings that Gov. Fairbanks drove the
spike that held the rail which made
complete the enterprise for which he
with others has labored so hard and so
long to accomplish. Ten years is a
long time to bend ones energies con-
stantly for the consummation of single
object. Persevering labor, patient wait
ing, complete confidence, and perfect
trust, will have their reward-in fact
the reward accompanies such virtues.
The difficulties that the projectors of
venture to say, never before been
known in the history of railway build
ing. The persistent Legislative Oppo-
stiOn to granting charters, in one case
where, in the entire county, not another
rail was laid, with no sound, honest
reason not to grant; the blind opposition
h,r,, .ifi1nY nv In 10
slurs, the steady resistance of other
railway corporations to granting even
ordinary favors and civilities, and last
ly, the financial stringency in monetary
circles which deprecated all kinds of
stocks, bonds and mortgages, and al
most totally prevented the raising of
money for dng purpose all these and
more have the plucky projectors of
this line been subjected to.
This Road being an accomplished
fact, we look with sanguine feelings to
very considerable results both to the
road and the residents along the line.
One item is very significant, and will
illustrate better than a column of words,
the benefit to this community. Coal is
50 per cent less than when this road
began to move it into st. Johnsbury.
and it is not owing to "a corresponding
reduction at the wholesale point. This
is a moral to adorn a tale.
The line runs through Il remarkable
fertile country. From st. Johnsbury
to Swanton, on either side, is a pro-
ducing country which will send its
products abroad as it never has vet.
Events will prove that the road will
prove to have been prime necessity to
all within reach of its facilities.
We cannot let the matter drop with
out remarking upon the consummate
energy, untiring zeal and patience of
Superintendent A. B. Jewett. He came
among us for the purpose of putting
this road through, and when we say he
has succeeded, in the face of all oppo-
sitiOn, we have nothing left so COM
plimentaTy to say.

First Glass Investments

With all the advantages of st. Johns
bury there is still crying want: Tene-
ments - good, comfortable, well-ar-
ranged renting property. We believe
that the need is affecting the welfare OF
this place. Families are kept out OF
town by failure to secure suitable house
rent at living rental. If this does
not affect the welfare of st. Johnsbury
in direct, material way, what would

fore he can secure a dwelling, to the
detriment of his business and incon-
venience to himself, his partner, and
bis family. A young man, failing to
find tenement for himself and wife,
takes one in an adjoining village. Stu
dents wishing to attend the academy
are deferred for want of accommoda-
ton.
In summer with all the advantages of
the Library, and the quietness of our
village, mountain air, &C., we should
have a large number of summer resi-

This week we have had the New Hamp-
shire Press Association. Had any
other state joined them, many must
have been "billeted," army style, on

If there is any field so ready, open
and at hand, for the capitalist as this
we fail to know it. We leave philan-
thrOpy entirely out of the question, we
throw aside all appeals tointerest in the
towns welfare, and base our remarks
solely on the pecuniary return for an
investment in thirty or forty, medium
sized, well arranged, healthily located
cottages. The man, or the men, who
will straightway build these houses, not
extravagantly, but do it with view to
neat, substantial workmanship, and
thorough regard to ventilation, con-
venience and health, will get a hand
some interest on his investment. There
must be capital idle in the limits of our
town. 1t would be safe investment
for our banks, and we doubt not some
would take more stock in tenement
houses, well shingled, than some notes
equally covered with "gilt edged" en-
dorsements, that pass current.
We need the houses will go to
work and build ? Not next year nor
next month, but nOW.

Death of Hon. j. s. Sanborn.

We are panied to record the death of
Judge j. S. SanbOrn of Montreal, who
died Tuesday at Asbury Park, N. j., of
disease of the heart. Judge SanbOrn
has for many years occupied promi-
nent position in Eastern Canada. He
was of American parentage and birth,
but while a young man made his home
in SherbrOoke, the shire town of the
EasternTownships, where he commence
ed the practice of law and soon acquir-
ed a competence. He was a man of
marked ability, of the strictest prObity,
and of unsullied reputation. AS plead
er at the bar he had few equals in the
Canadian courts, and it was said of him
that he would never defend a man he
had good reason to believe was guilty
of the crime charged against him. He
possessed deep religious sentiment, his
piety was matter of every day life,
and he was universally beloved and re-
spected by all classes in the communi-
ty in which he resided. At one period
in his career he took a lively interest in
politics, and was for several years
member of the Provincial Parliament.

the Supreme Bench of Canada, posi-

THE RETURN.

The lateness of the hour prevented a
long stop at SwantOn, and SO any formal
celebration was out of the question :;
and at six o'clock the party took the
train on the return trip. By this time,
the rain was over, and the clouds dis
persed enough to give charming view
of one of those gorgeous sunsets for
which Lake Champlain is so famous.
The return trip was without incident.
1t was greatly shortened by the songs
and stories and good cheer that pre-
vailed-all attributable to the one fact
that the last rail was laid, and the
Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad, af-
ter struggle of eight long years, an
accomplished fact. Thanks to the in
domitable energy, answering peril

jectOrs and their able coadjutors, who
have known no such thing as failure,
