shirt with the stud-holes in the bosom
unoccupied, a two-bit necktie several

him to putahis name in an autograph

like print and fixed his name at the
bottomsii Everybody admired the
marvellous penmanship, which was en-
phatically new style. The letters were
awkwardly made, taken singly, but
when grouped in line aall looked ex-
lactly alike, as if engraved on. copper,

We are informed BY a gentleman OF this
city-s former resident of Derby Line and
conversant with many of the facts il the
case that the murderer layden's state
ment is tissue of falsehoods from beginning
to end. His very first assertion is iaise-
that he asked and obtained consent of
Hon. Levi Spalding, of Derby Line, to
marry his daughter Gertrude" The truth
is that Mr.. Spslding was bitterly opposed
to the marriage; and that when Gertrude
married Hayden it was in violation of
promise she made her father when he was on
his death-bed. 1t was q runaway match and
resulted as such thin 20 not unfree uently do.
After marriage Hs al treated his vile in q
manner which it y lid be courtesy to call
brutal. He frequently beat her; repeated
ly threatened her life with q reyolser; ard
on more than one occasion subjected her to
an unwomanly degradation never to be
thought of by the most cold-bloodei of
human beings without fush of generous
indignation. 1t was for this, and this only,
that Mrs. Hsyden's family wished her to
leave her husband. When asked in Iras-
burgh jail if he had any message to send
his dying wife he said "Yes, tell her I'm
d. glad shot her and hope she'll die
Such is the Infamous scoundrel who now
whines about his love for his wife and his
hope of being reunited to her in another
world

To the Editor o: the Free Press and Times.
The House passed a joint resolution fix
ing the time of liual adj Jurnment at four
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon next. The Sem
ate Committee thought the business could
not be completed at that time and fixed the
time at half past ten Wednesday morning.
Last session the State Treasurer had his
debentures made and then had to change
them owing to change in the resolution
Of adjournment. So We are to have night
session with all its attendant horrors. The
members have greater scruples in the mat
ter OF getting full" than they formerly
had and so there will be no mitigation OF
the discomforts Of sitting up all night with
the dying Legislature. A wake without
whi,key or mourners will be sOmethin 9
anomalous.
The House by a large majority voted for
the adoption OF the iIint resolution grant
ing aid for the printing of Miss Hemmen-
way s Vermont Gi4stteer. The indetatiga-
tle editor of this work las had better luck
with the present Legislature than could
have been anticipated.
The Senate went into executive session
upon receiving the nomination Of directors
OF the State Prison, etc. The Senate turned
out your correspondent and won't tell what
action they took in his absence The fact
is they did nothing but receive the Govern
or's message.
The House, this morning. after quite a
struggle, voted to reconsider the vote pass
ing the bill to prohibit the use of seIIes
in fishing in Lake Champlain, but it was
discovered, much to the disgust of the
enemies of the bill, that the bill had
already been signed by the Governor and
had become a law.
The Senate have voted to exclude the city
court of Burlington from the provisions OF
the bill abolishing municipal courts in gen
eral throughout the State. The reason for
excepting our court is the very good one
that we need the court and make it serve
good purpose.
