The recent exposure of the misappropri-
alton of trust funds by j. D. Abbott of Bar
net has caused great CONSERVATION through
ont southern Vermont, where he was widely
known and implicitly trusted. He has been
Guardian for minors. entrusted with estates,
and has been general adviser in political and
nriyate concerns. As town clerk and treasur-
ar his safe has been made the receptacle OF
numerous funds. for which he has given his
note. and which he seems to have invariably
eppropriated for his own use Among the IN
diyiduals who have lost in this way are Seth
Frost. $500 Mrs. Holmes, $4,000 Mrs
blanchard, $1,000; and many others in small
or amounts. while the town funds are $500
short by his operations He has shown great
versatility in swindling the conhding of all
that came within his reach, and some poor
persons have been cleaned out of their entire
earnings. Abbotts largest creditor is the
Merchants national bank of st. Johnsbury,
which holds Sl3, 600 of his paper secured by
