We have received with the compliments
of Prof. Seely the Fourth Report Of the
Vermont Board Of Agriculture. We here
by return thanks for what seems to us to
be very valuable work. IL is hot like a
patent Office report. but is full of just
such discussions on the subject of Vermont
agriculture, as will be profitable for every
intelligent farmer 30 read. The book is
worth far more than many advertised
works on agriculture, since most of the
articles are written by practical Vermont
farmers.
The Swanton Courier in speaking of the
LaPage confession says: "rhc only thing
we are mixed on, is the diagram of the
scene of the Ball murder which was pub
lished. Any one who has ever visited the
scene and is familiar with tue locality
would be just as well satisfied with one
of SANKEY'S maps of Africa. We have
mailed copies of the map to big chief
who lives on a ranch near the source of
the Nile. We shall not be bit surprised
if the old fellow is so tickled with the
map that he sends over some ivory and
baby elephant or two"
A large amount of snow has fallen in
various sections during the past week. On
the Berkshire Hills of Mass. they were
compelled TO shovel roads for the stage
and on the mountains through our State.
quite depth fell. The snow storm of
March 9th to the 18th, in Nebraska aud
Wyoming. is called the severest storm
that has been experienced since the Pa
citic Railroad was built. Among the suf-
ferers by the storm was Mr.. b. +. Rugg,
of st. Adams, who lost 5000 sheep, on
his rancho near Cheyenne, valued at S20,-
600.
The gang of thieves, on whose track
the varions officials of the county have
been pursuing for year or two. are com
ing to grief one by one. The leader, who
is still at large, was, evidently, Conroy
Darling of Worthwhile. An attempt was
made last fall TO arrest this COnroy aud
his brother. He escaped, however, but
his brother was arrested and is now lodg-
ed in Irasburgh Jail. Last week Wednes-
day deputy sheriff L. A. Tillotson of VOL
at arrested Herbert Hyde, and on a re-
QUESTION of the Governor, brought him to
Morrisvile. Hyde is a brother-in-law of
the Darlings and was suspecte of COM
plicity in the robbery Of the peddle cart
of Mr.. Stearns. at Wolcott in July, 1876.
At the preliminary trial, Hyde was bound
over to appear at county court. and his
bail set at 100000, which was raised by
his friends. The evidence against Hyde
is quite strong. AT the time of the Stearns
robbery he was at work for man III
Wolcott, and on the night of the theft
went down to Conroy Darling's in Nor
risville. The night was rainy one, and
on the following morning Hyde reached
the place of his employer with his clothes
soaked with the rain. On changing his
under garments they were found to be
stained a deep crimson. At the trial a
piece of stolen goods, which have been
recovered was produced aud showed evil
dence of having been wet. When moist
ened it crooks badly and a reasonable
theory is that Hyde carried the goods in
his arms in the rain and thus stained his
clothes. There were other suspicious
circumstances which amply justify the
binding up of Hyde for further investiga-
ton.
