MURDER IN VERM ONT.

The state of suspended animation in
which capital punishment seems to be
in this state at the present time is al
ready bearing its evil fruits. A more
heartless crime than that committed at
Brandon Saturday, can hardly be
conceived of, and yet had not the
murderer, with usual thoughtfulness,
remoyeahimself beyond the jurisdiction
Of eagtsslsss courts, we might have been
witnesses in q little less than three
years, of farce very similar to that
recently played by the State in the
Phair case. The bleeding body of
young Brassor, the wounds made by
bullets evidently moulded for a diff
ferent weapon than the one he carried,
and finally the disappearance of his rifle,
were all evidence that a murder had
been committed, but there was no
witnesses of the deed, and the con
viction of the tramp murderer could
only have been accomplished by cir
cumstantial evidence. The discovery
of the murdered mans rifle in the
hands of the murderer could hardly
have been stronger evidence of guilt
than the resemblance between the
autographs of ''E. f. Smith, found
upon the Adams House register and
the pawn brokers' ticket, and that writ
ten by Phair in Jail here. If conyic-
ton on circumstantial evidence is
'played OUT" then the doors of our
criminals courts may as well be closed,
for criminals are seldom obliging

Gev. Smiths Private Secretary.

1t seems to be the generally received
opinion that Maj. G.. w. Burchard, of Fort
Atkinson, is to be Gov. Smiths Private
Secretary: Gov. Smith has invited Mai.
Burchard to become his Secretary because
he knows his man, and the numerous
friends of the Major in Jefferson County
will say that the Governor has chosen wise
ly and we'll. Maj. Burchard is lawyer of
decided ability, and is peculiarly fitted for
the position to which he has been called.
AS specimen of the notices which he is
receiving from the state press, we publish
the following from the Daily Wisconsin of
a late date
We learn that Governor Smith has ap-
pointed Maj. George W. Burchard, of Fort
Atkinson, Jefferson county, to act as his
private Secretary. Major Burchard is a
graduate OF Carroll College, Watkesha; has
been school teacher; studied law at Fox
Lake; volunteered as private in the Tween
ty-ninth Wisconsin regiment in 1862, and
by his merit worked his way up to honor
and distinction, leaving the Union army as
major of a colored regiment. Since the
war be has been practicing law at Fort At
kinson. Governor Smith has known him
intimately for twenty years, whose esteem
he has justly won as discreet, capable and
true man.
The appointment was unexpected to Maj.
Burchard, and he will receive the compli-
ment with the more qualification inasmuch
as it is unsolicited and unsought The pri-
vate secretary occupies relations so pecnl-
iarly delicate and responsible to the govern
or that it is of the first consequence that he
should select just the man Tor the place.
Governor Ludington has been fortunate in
the selection of Col Putney, and we be-
lieve Governor Smith will be equally for
tunate in the choice of Maj. Burchard.

Enjoy Life.

Nature gives Us grandeur Of mountains

of enjoyment. We can desire no better

dishcartened, discouraged and worried out
with disease, when there is no occasion for
this feeling, as every sufferer can easily OBJ
tain satisfactory proof that Green's August

A Com phi ent Well Bestowed.

We find in recent issue CT the Kansas
City Tines the following account Of pres
entation of an elegant silver tea set to our
former townsman, E. L. Patch. The nu-
merous friends of Mr.. Patch in Watertow n
will be pleased to learn that the urbanity
and afability which rendered him so popu-
lar when residing here have not forsak en-
him, and that his worth as citizep and a
gentleman are being fully appreciated in his
new home:
Every one of the thousands who have
visited the Kansas City Exposition grounds
during the fairs of lS75-6-7, will undoubt-
eddy remember toe gentleman on horse
back who galloped up and down before the
grand stand, wearing bright blue sash.
That was E.. L. Patch, the Grand Marshal
of the Exposition, and without exception
the best man that ever filled that tiresome,
but responsible position. He was Away s
at his post-never absent when wanted;
was mere, there and everywhere at times,
and won favor instead of curses from all
sides. When the Exposition was over the
Directors of the Association conceived the
idea of testifying in some manner their
appreciation of the Taluabe services rem
dered. They knew not how to honor worth
without Offending, and set to work secretly
to find out what kind of a present would
be most acceptable The deputy marshals
entered into the scheme, and after all had
reported it was resolved to make it a silver
tea set.
So on the morning Of October oath a very
handsome and interesting letter was writ
ten by the committee Messrs. E. l.. Martin,
James NJ. Nave and NJ j. Bayne, and sent
with massive silver tea set to the home of
Mr. E. L. Patch, 1887 Broadway.
The presents consisted of coffee urn, cof
fee pot, tea pot, creamer, sugar bowl, spoon
holder and slop bowl; in all seven pieces OF
solid silver. They were each engraved with
the inscription, "Presented to E. l.. Patch
! by the Kansas City Exposition, 1877
There was no formal presentation. The
present was accompanied by letter, and
that expressed the sentiments of the donors.
| 1t was complete surprise to Mr.. and Mrs.
Patch, but 1t was an honor that could not
have been bestowed upon more deserving
gentleman than Grand Marshal Patch, and
thousands will wish him JOY in it's enjoy
ment.
