The mysterious murder of Alvan C.
Foster in Keene, May %, 1876, is in a
fair way to be cleared up. The grand
jury now in session in that city, have
found indictments for murder against
Fred. w. Dodge of Bellows Falls, Geo.
K: Spencer of Springfield, and Gidd Lee
of Chelsea. These parties were in
keene at the time of the murder, and
have from time to time dropped a word
here and there which has led to their
Indictment.

A PARABLE ON CLOSING HOTELS.
From the Bellows Falls Times.l

A man stole sheep once in this
town. He was prosecuted and convict
ed. He paid his fine but, in bis right
eous Indignation against law that
would not permit a poor man to steal
his sheep, he closed his house and en-
tered into bond with himself that he
would not work any more until the peo-
pie gave him some guarantee of pro
lection. The people said it was too bad,
and he opened his house and went to
work again, with the understanding
that he would be all right if he did not
get caught at the thieving. The Brat
tleboro hotels re-Opened last Monday.

Adam's Monument.

ELMIRA, November 4.-The idea of
erecting a monument to Adam in this
city is no joke. A subscription paper
with the following heading is now being
circulated:
awe, the subscribers, agree to pay the
sums set opposite our respective names,
for the purpose of erecting monument
to Adam. Said monument shall be
erected within mile of the present city,
on q spot selected by committee of
three, who shall be elected by the sub.
scribers of majority in amount of the
whole amonnt subscribed for this pur-
pose. All subscriptions shall be paya.
BILE to the treasurer on demand. The
amount of money necessary to purchase
the site for this monument and enclose
it with suitable fence, and provide life
membership tickets, shall be considered
a part of the cost of this monument.
Each subscriber shall be entitled to
life members ticket of admission to the
monument, engraved on copper, for
himself or friends, for each sos which
he may subscribe"
Frank G. Hall, the great American
traveller and banker, is treasurer of the
fund. Like Mark Twain, he has wept
at the tomb Of Adam. The idea of erect
ing a monument to Adam in Elmira
originated with the Rev. Thomas K.
Bcecher in discourse in which it was
held that, if Elmira was not the Garden
of Eden, it should have been. Mark
Twain, whose summer residence is here,
and whose wife is a native of the city,
at once fell in with the Rev. Mr.. Beech
er. They propose to raise $1,000 for the
purpose of erecting the monument. Ex-
Mayor Arnot, D. G. Robinson, the Gov
ernor's SON; the Hon. Seymour Dexter,
Mark Twain, Mr. Beecher, Charles ].
Langdon, Mark Twain's brother-in-law;
DR.. Updegraf', ex-Speaker Mcguire and
other prominent residents, have sub.
scribcd to the fund. A marble monu::
ment seventy-fve feet high is to be
raised. 1t is to have an inscription writ
ten by Mark Twain. 1t is expected to
be in position for unveiling by next
spring.-N. Y. Sun, Nov. 6.

The great demand for Shriner's Indian
Vermifuge is solely due to it intrinsic

"How LONG HAVE I TO LIVE PIT
is not every one who asks himself this
question, because, strangely enoug b, it is
the belief of most persons that their lives
will be exceptionally lengthy. Howev-
er, life assurance companies are aware of
the credulous weaknesses of those whose
lives they assure, and have therefore
compiled numerous tables of expectancy
of life for their own guidance, which are
carefully referred to before a policy
is granted. The following is one of these
well-authenticated tables in use among
London assurance companies, showing
the average length of life at various ages.
In the first column we have the present
ages of persons of average health, and in
the second column we are enabled to
peep, as it were, behind the scenes of an
assurance Office, and gather from their
table the number of years they will give us
to live. This table has been the result of
careful calculation, and seldom proves
misleading. Of course, sudden and pre-
mature deaths, as well as lives unusually
extended, occasionally occur, but this is q
table of the average expectancy of life of
an ordinary man or woman:

also, show good prospects; silver

Caved Upon.

Last Sunday ]. T. Howell, an old
prospector Of this city, narrowly es-
capped being crushed to death. He was
placer mining under the bank near
the road to the Occidental mill, when
the ground caved in ON him and he
was almost entirely buried, only his
head and left arm remaining ex-
posed. He had sufficient strength
left to call for help, whereupon s. w.
Waugh, who lives close by, ran to
his assistance, and, after arduous
labor, succeeded in extricatipg him
from his perilous situation. He got

The st. Louis Mine.

The exploring drift into this ground
from the Silver Hill workings is now
in over 400 feet, and progressing at
the rate of about five feet per day.
At that rate the middle of the St.
Louis ground (Which is 1900 feet
long from north to south) should he
reached in about six weeks. As soon
as that point is attained prosecuting
the vein will be in order, when pay
ore is confidently expected to be
discovered.

BRIEF MENTION.

The Dayton stage drivers are now
provided with tin horns, with which
to advise people of the arrival and
departure of the conveyance.
Assemblyman Smith and Senator
King were In town last Sunday.
They returned to Carson in time for
Mondays session of the Legislature.
Miss Ada Powning, the Oldest
daughter of George Powning, of the
Kossuth mine, left last Sunday for
San Francisco, where she will COM
plete her education.
Miss Lille Flint, who is better
known as Mrs. Mark Strouse, has re-.
turned to the Comstock. IT'S said,
but-no matter. Coming events
cast their shadows before"-some-
times.
The next hop under the auspices
Of the Cosmopolitan Social Club of
this city, will take place next
Wednesday evening, 9Th of February,
in the Miners Union Hall. Mem.
bers of the club must pay the last
assessment levied (of 49, before the
dance.
Dan de guile is Of the opinion
that by the middle of April, if not
before, everything will be in readi-
ness to thoroughly prospect the lower
levels of the Sierra Nevada mine,
and that "next May will show what
there is in the Sierra Nevada, also
what there is in the northern part of
Union Consolidated"
For the first time this winter there
is good sleighing from Virginia City
past Silver City, to the vicinity of
Johntown. Sleighing is not very
good in this city, however, as the
roads are rather lumpy as yet. An
other fall of a couple of inches of
snow would make splendid roads for
runners all along the Comstock.
Fred. Wyman, who was formerly
head carpenter at the Silver Hill
mine, but went back homo to New
Hampshire, with his family, about
ten months ago, returned to town
last Friday. He says that although
there has been considerable improve
ment of late, times is still very dull
in the Eastern States, and many good
mechanics are unable to obtain en-
ployment.
A sufficient quantity Of snow has
already fallen, this season, to admit
of running the mills along the Car
son during most of next summer.
This will not necessarily entail the
idleness of the steam mills in this
city, however, as it is confidently
expected that there will be ore
enough extracted from the Comstock
mines during the coming year to
keep all the mills between Virginia
and Carson busily employed.
