A Probable Tragedy.

On Monday, June 1ith Mr. Henry L. iiartt
young man about twenty-six years of age started
from here in a small boat eleven and one-half
feet by twenty-six inches), intending to go down
the Winooski a. far as its mouth, and from there
to cruise around the lake. Iuasmuch as Mr.. HART
had had considerable experience in this line, little
fear was entertained by his friends here. lie was
heard from at Burlington, from which place he
wrote that he was going IN Maets Bay and
Plattsburgh. Not hearing from him for several
days, Mr. Mahlon Taplin, his brother-in-law,
wrote to him at Pittsburgh to telegraph them
concerning his condition, and subsequently tele-
graphed the postmaster at Plattsburgh to know If
letters had been called for. Learning that they
had not he took the afternoon train on Tuesday,
the 26th of June, for Burlington, and In company
with his brother, Mr. Eben Tapn, of that city,
went to Maetts Bay to make inquiries concern
ing Mir Hartts whereabouts. Upon inquiry at a
boat house not far from the Mallett's Bay House,
they learned that HART had been seen in camp on
Malett's Point as late a. nine oclock in the even
ing the Sunday previous From this place the
searching party returned to Burlington, and hear
ing that the strong southerly gale rendered it
highly probable that the boat had drifted TO Sand
Bar Bridge, they repaired thther. After pro
tracted search his valise, sail and kerosene oil
stove were found. They had been picked up on
Grand Isle, little south of the Bridge.
After remaining overnight on the island, the
search was renewed, and Mr. Taplin took boat
and pulled along the shore of the island and
across to Maletts Head but no traces OF MIR.
Hartt or his boat were discovered, except those
mentioned above On the return to Milton, Mr..
Taplin saw the boat on the beach, near Sand Bar
Bridge, and at once identified it as being that of
the missing man Along the shore the oars were
found hid in the bushes and broken. The theory
of the mystery is that the boat was capsized
in the gale and that Mr. Hartt being an ac-
complished swimmer. attempted to swim to shore,
and failing in this, was drowned. 1t is supposed
that tramp who had been seen in that locality,
finding the boat upset and floating, took posses
sion of it, and rowed across to the island, where
he was seen on Friday, the 18th instant The
name of the boat was " Les Rodeurs,' " The
Rovers"
Mr. HART was a native of New Orleans, and
was II brother of Mrs. Mahlon Taplin and Mrs.
Hiram NJ. Pierce, of this village, with the former
of whom he had been stopping since last Feb
ruary His parents died in his boyhood. He
had one brother and three sisters besides those
residing here. One brother lives in Iowa. one
sister, Mrs. Morton Harrington, in Brighton,
Mass. one unmarried sister in Brooklyn N y.
and one in southern Michigan. Although Mr..
Hartt had not resided in town long, he had, bN
his quiet and unobtrusve manner, and his intclli'
gence and diligence, won many friends, who will
hear with the deepest regret of his probable UNI
timely death.

SUICIDE IN FAYsToN "A shocking tragedy was
enacted here last week, Wednesday. A Young
man named James Wheeler committed suicide,
shooting himself through the heart. 1t seems
that a young lady Miss Adams with whom he
