Another case illustrating the tngerous
but too common practice of carrying fire
arms has Just occurred in Williston. The
facts in the case as related by Mr.. Luman
A. Smith, the victim, were that on Thurs
day of last week on his return from Essex
Junction where he had been on business
he went to the burn and was htching up
his horse when Mr.. Woods, his father-in-
law, an old man, pointcl revolver at
him and forbid his taking it rs he wanted
it for his own use that afternoon. Smith
grappled with Woods. as he says, to pro-
vent the old mans shooting, whereupon
Mrs. Smith appeared on the scene with a
loaded revolver which she had been in the
habit of carrying for some time and in the
melee Smith was shot twice by Woods
and once by his wife, from the result of
which he died on Saturday. The wife
and Mr.. Woods claim Smith was the ag.
gressor. Smith has always borne good
reputation rs a quiet, inoffensve man,
the only trouble being that he was too
much so, while the reputation OF his wife
has been the very reverse, her reputation
being bad.

IneendiariSm.

The inhabitants Of Waitsfield and More
town have been greatly excited lately over
inoendiarv fires, half dozen Of that
character having occurred. F. w. Bisbee
OF Moretown who is next neighbor to
Rufus Barnard whose barns were burned
two weeks age. of course felt nervous and
anxious about his own buildings. lie
therefore in the week succeeding the
Barnard fire kept such watch rs he could
of his own buildings.
AT milking time last Wednesday even
ing Mr.. Bisbee just as one of his boys was
about TO carry in tho pals discovered n
man lurking near his barns. lie called to
him and the man fleeing pursued him. 1t
was so nearly dark that he could not distin.
guish the mans face but was nevertheless
pretty certain who it was. As he was
following the man who retreated up Il
lane towards the woods west of the barns
ne heard his boy shout fire and ran back
TO the barns.
The fire had just been set at the bottom
of hay NOW and while his sons ran for
water it gathered such Roadway rs to be
uncomfortable. Mr.. Bisbee's stock and
furniture were saved. The people were
greatly excited and two men were injured
one by being struck by light stand
thrown from chamber window and
another by being pushed out of window
by Others helping at the fire.
Suspicion was had of Josiah Seaver, y
married man some 50 years of age who
worked in Mr.. Green's saw mill. An
inquest was begun Thursday before Justice
Hastings Of WaisGcld. Things got so
pointed toward Ssaver that in three or
four days his confessed TO larry Buckley
that he set the fire and afterwards owned
up to Justice Hastings that he had set six
fires. His confession includes the Barnard
barns burned two weeks ago, the Lewis
Joslin fire three weeks ago, the fire that
burned VIM. Folsom's barns and some
twenty cows, the William Farr house and
barns and another fire besides that of Mr..
Bisbees.
Seaver was bound up on charge of
burning the Bisbee buildings, in the sum
of $4,000, and was lodged in Jail Monday
by Sheriff futile All Mr.. Bisbee's build
ings were burned. He had an insurance
Of $4,000 in the Vermont Mutual. Seaver
had some property which we understand
the insurance companies will try to hold.
The fire-bug has not borne bad reputa-
tation, and his horrible conduct is without
apparent motive. His crimes have been
terrible, and the people of Mad river
valley will feel much easier now that the
mystery is solved, and Soaver under lock
and key.

DFoRD.-A few days ago, Mr.. j. w.
Bliss, DIETER known as "Uncle Joe," the
" member from Bradford" " had quite an
exciting adventure with two years old
Jersey bull of his, which came near cost
ing him his life, and the town losing the
biggest representative of its democracy,
weighing not fur from two hundred and
forty pounds avordupois. He had coca
sion to 20 into the field where his lordship
was feeding, when he (the bully saw him.
Now it is well known that nothing will
sooner enrage IN animal of this kind than
the sight of anything rel, which is the
only reason the noighbors ctn give '0ty
the bovine quadrupcd should have become
so suddenly bclligerent, and ut once
"struck an attitu le." and made a chlrge
on the supposed enemy. Unc,e Joe, not
liking the appearance of things, beat n
hasty retreat, but soon found he could not
give him "cear field" and ran behind
large tree. But the animal was not to
be cheated out of his prey, and commenced
swinging around the circle" and Uncle
Joe doing his best to keep out of the way
After some time thus spent Taurus be.
came apparently disguised anil left him.
Our friend watched him until he thought
he was at safe distance, when h. also
left tho tree Cor the nearest fence. But,
us it proved, the gentleman from jersey
had only taken this WAY to "draw him
out" from his retreat, for no sooner had
he done this than he returned TO the charge
with redolbed fury, which made Mr..
Bliss put in his best lcks for the fence,
which he reached just in season, putting
and blowing like a steam engine, lit,
orally blowing of crh1uSt steam, lcav-
ing the bull master of the field.
A few days after, while in the barn
yard, the gentleman from Jersey caught
sight of Bliss face and went for him again
knocking him down twice, badly bruising
him before he could escape. BY this time
Uncle Joe concluded the farm was moi
large enough for both to live peaceably on
and decree his death and got n noted
marksman, Mr.. NJ. o. Barber, to shoot
him, after engaging Ross Hunt of Pier
mont 10 dress him. Now it is well known
that the Bliss farm is owned by Ed. anC
Joe who are much attached TO each other
Ed. stays ut home and takes care of thing
and Joe does most of the outside work
trading, etc. Hunt says that when Uncle
Joe came for him he said they had ;
cross bull and he was afraid his brothe
would be up at the barn TO feed him some
time and he might get at him and kill him
and he d" would not have Ed. killed for I
dolar." Hunt FASTENED over and met Ed
who told him the animal was cross and h
was afraid he would kill his brother Joe
Both seemed to think ore of each other
life than their own.
Uncle Joe is now thought to be out o
danger, but says he wants no more o
such engagements with animals that ar
wont to push with their horns"

when the coat is removed. This invisible
great coat recommends itself to the common
sense of any intelligent man. tits light and
the daily laborer can wear it without the in
convenience which an ordinary overcoat
would subject him. It is cheap, within the
reach of all, and any one can make such
garment. If wooden material is too expen-
sive for the poor, several folds of newspaper
will be found to be good substitute. Let
every man troubled with rheuma-
hsm in the shoulders provide
himself at once with an invisible
great-coat and his pains and aches will pass
away, and he will find that he can endure
almost any degree of cold without expert
encing any very great suffering therefrom.
There is only one thing to prevent the
general use of this garment, and that is its
cheapness. Such as adopt it will never
cease to feel under obligations to the writer
of this paragraph, and those who neglect to
provide themselves may and will suffer from
colds, coughs and rheumatism just as they
have done heretofore.

An Invisible Great-Coat.

In cold climates men are apt to provide
sufficient covering for the chest, imagining
that they are thus affording protection to
their lungs. Near the chest are all the vital
parts of man, and their constant action gen.
crates heat enough, fguratively speaking, to
run a small steam engine. It is the expert
ence of every one that cold is first felt along
the backbone-a creeping, chilly sensation,
which need not be described, as every adult
has felt it. The lungs are about as near the
back as the chest, and possibly nearer. To
give protection to the back would
seem reasonable even to an uneducated man,
but what is the practice? The back of the
vest is made of the frailest material, the
coat is padded in front and barely lined in
the rear with farmers satin or some ether
material, equally as fimsy. With such
clothing is it strange that men suffer from
rheumatism near the shoulder blade and in
the shoulders? The invisible great coat is
designed to remedy this defect in our cloth
ing. It is made of heavy wooden material,
the same shape as the back of
| the VISIT, cut 80 as to come over
| the shoulders. In winter this can be
fastened by safety pins or stitched as may
be most convenient to the inside of the
| back of the vest, 80 that it cannot be seen

Tho following particulars of the capture

One morning, during the last cruise of the

the launch, some objects were thrown over.
board from the latter.
The prize was found to be we'll con.
structed steam launch, some thirty feet long
protected by steel shield, half an inch thick
well calculated to defend the crew against
rifle bullets. It's engine is in good
working order, and capable of propelling il
at the rate of four knots an hour. His Grew
consisted of four men of doubtful national
ity. One of them, whose name appears to
be Scott, seems, from papers found upon
him, to be the director general of the tor
pedo force of Peru. This gentleman some
time ago offered his services to Chilli, but
they were declined, and he. then obtained
his present appointment in Peru. In his
possession was found a contract made with
the Peruvian government by which he was
to receive $4,000 for each iron-clad
blown up, and 100000 for each wood
en- man-of-war. But, as too often happens to
industrial enterprises, his business has been
nipped in the bud, and he is now likely to
receive long cord and short shrift. Scott
is said to have been at one time colonel in
the United States army. A quantity OF
jewels were found in his possession, and the
sum of nearly $4,000, Of which $500 was in
gold and silver, and the rest in Peruvian
notes. If the Chilians do not contiscate all
this, We recommend the heirs at law to take
immediate steps to establish their claims.
The commander Of the launch is Gale d
Shertzier, and from papers found in his pos
session we see that he is snb- contractor to
Scott, who has signed an agreement to pay
him the sum of $4,000 for every ironclad
blown up, thus leaving profit to Scott OF
$4,000, and $4,000 for any other gman-of-
war.
