THAT CHINESE MURDER.-We find
lengthy accounts of horrible murder
Of Chinese woman (before mentioned
by US on hearsay), 10 the Victoria news
papers. There were forty-two stsbs
found on the person of the unfortunate
creature, eleven of which were necessa-
r'iy fatal. The crime appears to have
been perpetrated for the sake of her
jswelry, Of which she was supposed to
have several hundred dollars worth.
No clue to the perpetrators of this
nendish outrage has yet been found by
the police; but there is little doubt they
will be caught whenever they offer any
of that jewelry for sale.

In answer to a call, there was quite
large gathering of Sunday School
workers at this place on Tuesday, to
consider the organization of county
society. The meetings were held at
the Methodist church, and Franklin
Fairbanks was chosen temporary chair
man, and Isaac d. Bemis, secretary
| On roll-call over 80 churches and schools
responded by pastor, superintendent or
delegate, and in many cases by all
three. After organization, a resolution
was introduced to the effect that it was
desirable to form county society, and
this brought out brief remarks from
quite number, all heartily in accord
with the movement, when the resOlu-
ton passed unanimously. A committee
of one clergyman and one layman from
each denomination represented, was
then appointed to draw up a constitu-
ton, etc. After dinner, several ques-
tons relating to Sunday school work
were discussed. The following officers
were elected for the year ensuing:

GRADUATING EXERCISES.
Scrimmage at Jail.

On Friday last, a good deal of tumult
was heard in the large apartment of the
Jail, occupied in common during the
day by nearly all the prisoners, and the
sheriff being engaged at the court house,
Mrs. Preston went into the corridor and
found several of the prisoners, led by
Henry Oderkirk, smashing up the fur
nituIe. She at once ordered them to
desist, and was answered insultingly.
She sent at once for her husband, who
came and ordered Oderkirk into his
cell. He replied with abusive language
and in defiant manner. Mr.. Preston
saw that the prisoners were bent on
mischief, and he procured deputy Geo.
Ide and policeman Geo. Ward, and
arming with billies and revOlvers they
all entered this room with eleven tur-

The Court.

In the case of the Philadelphia Fire
Association against the Merchants Ma
tiOnal Bank of this place, involving the
question of forging the name of Chas.
FL. Green upon bank draft which the
bank cashed, and which the Association
claimed was forged, after being out
nearly two days, the jury found YER
dict for the bank. 1t will be remem-
bered that year ago, E. D. Hopkins
was convicted of forging this name, and
that the case went to the Supreme Court
on exceptions, and was sent back by
that tribunal for new trial. AS the
very same questions are involved, we
do not see what good it will do to try
Mr.. Hopkins again.
On Monday the prisoners at the Jail
we're arraigned before the court. Bishop
and O'Claire, the Barnet depot burglars
Goochee, Eastman and Bean, the buff
falo robe thieves DR.. Stokes, abor-
zionist; Mike Gerry, barn burner ;
Henry lockwood, McIndOe's thief ;
Oderkirk and Smith, Seattle drovers y
and Moses Oderkirk, charged with theft,
all plead not guilty. Oscar Bigelow,
girl assaulter, and Carlos Drown, Burke
burglar, plead guilty, and all were re-
manded for trial except Moses Oder
kirk, who was bailed by Chas. Fl. Davis.
R. E. Peabody waived arraignmeDt by
counsel.
The following criminal cases have
been set for trial as follows: Monday
State against Bishop, O'Claire, Eastman
and GoOche. Tuesday-State against
james Hinch for embezzlement at Nc
Laren's. Wednesday, against A.
R. Stokes, F. Bean, Oderkirk and Smith.
Thursday against R. E. Peabody.
Friday-State against Mike Gerry and
Henry lockwood. We do not under
stand that any of these cases are certain
to be tried on the day set, except the
first ones.

he procured alcohol at the agency, at

night, when they drank it making one

eight or nine of the inmates to make
this disturbance, hoping thereby to
break out.

SHOCKING ACCIDENTAL shocking
and fatal accident occurred at Lyndon
Mill Co.'S mill No. 2, about one and
a-half mile south of East Burke, on
Wednesday forenoon. Albert S. Fisher,
aged 10, son of Spaulding Fisher of
Lyndon, was at work by two circular
saws which were running only four feet
apart. He had just butted off a large
log, and taking up the end cut off, at
tempted to throw it out the window.
The end struck the window sill and
bounding back knocked young Fisher
upon one of the revolving saws, cutting
him all to pieces and killing him in
stantly. One leg was cut off below the
knee, both legs at the hips, one arm
amputated, and the entire face cut
away.

Last Saturday, Mrs. Charles King and
Mrs. Henry Bradley were returning
from St. Johnsbury, and when little
below Curtis Harvey's meadow, they
stopped to get some water from spring
beside the road. When they got ready
to start, either the reins got entangled,
or something else set the horse to back
ing. The wagon and horse ran down a
steep bank into the river where the
water was some eight feet deep. The
occupants had very narrow escape
from drowning, and were more or less
bruised. The wagon was thoroughly
smashed.
Diphtheria, after a rest of some three
or four weeks, broke out simultaneously
on Saturday, in four houses in and near
the village. The cases all appear now
to be of a mild type.

VIM. Folsom of West WheelOck, was
quite seriously injured Monday morn
ing, on his way to East Hardwick.
While crossing the railroad track near
James Giffin's, his horse stepped on a
spike and stumbled, throwing Folsom
out on to his head and shoulders. No
bones were broken and he was able to
pursue his journey.
Mr.. Steenburgh had narrow escape
one day last week while drawing lum-
Der from Stannard. In coming down a
long hill, the lumber slipped forward
and frightened the horses, and being
unable to hold them they run nearly a
mile when he refined them against a
large stone beside the road. The shock
sent him over upon the team and
smashed two wheels which let the axles
into the ground and they acting as
brakes, stopped the horses.
