James Ianley, marble cutter, was
run over by the cars at West Rutland,
Friday afternoon, and fatally injured,
The reports from Memphis are not en-
couraging. The physicians expect an
increase in the plague until October, which
gives gloomy outlook. Peculiarly sad
and touching is the case reported of IL
husband who yields to the cntreaties of
his dying wife for II kiss and is smittcn by
the disease an hour after her death.
Governor Talbot, of Massachusetts, has
at length written n letter declining re-
nomination. lie thinks he has striven to
lead the people 10 an upright discharge of
the duties of citizenship, and thinks that
good men for office will not be wanting.
He urges firmncss in demanding honest
money and official integrity, and an
nounces himself as having become CON
WINGED that the dignity and the indcpcnd-
ence of the citizen are more to be priced
than place and power.
ACCIDENTAL SUICIDE.-Fr Butler, the
twclve-y car-old son of Samuel Butler of
Pittsford, was found by the family
Wednesday forenoon hanging from hook
in his bedroom, dead. The family had
previously INDUCED in discussion us TO
whether person who was hanging could
rescue himself from his position after
strangling little, Fred taking the ground
that it could be done. He was warned
not to try the experiment, but it is sup
posed he tried it with the above result.
No other cause can be given for his DEATH
The Burlington Free Press says that
last Friday night, Frances V. Randall,
Jr., who is understood to be professional
smuggler, drove into town from North
Troy way with an invoice of smuge led
liquor, and the custom house officers
seized the whole concern, including seven
gallons of liquor and n horse and wagon
appraised at 1927. The same paper says
that the smugglers have depot some
where up north. near the line, to which
liquors arc Struggled in large quantities
and thence sent out in small consignments.
The revenue officers arc hunting up the
thing and hope to suppress it shortly.
Lovers of fruit will be pleased to learn
that all reports declare this to be one of
most prolific peach seasons known in a
number of years. Advices from Delaware
and Maryland say the crop there is SO
great that not more than half of it would
be disposed of were it not that some of the
most extensive canning establishments in
the world have been built right on the
peach grounds. New Jersey as yet has
sent only small supplies, and. indeed, the
best fruit from that state will not be
plentiful until September, while the New
York growth, and the few peaches still
raised in Connecticut, Rhode Island and
Massachusetts, will not appear in market
until month from now
New ENGLAND FAIR.-The "flir sea-
SON. opens with the New England fair at
Worcester on Tuesday, September I'd
We believe the most direct route for those
in this section to reach Worcester is via
Bellows Falls and the Cheshire railroad to
Winchendon, and from there via b. B. 4
G. to Worcester. A note from the mana
ger of the Cheshire assures us that all
trains from the north will make close con-
nection. Tickets from Bellows Falls on
the Cheshire, $500 for the round trip,
good during the week. We understand
the Central Vermont will sell tickets 10
Worcester and return, via Bellows Falls,
for fare one way. Other routes are via
the Northern railroad to Nashua, and from
there TO Worcester; and down the Con-
necticut river to Springfield, thence TO
Worcester by Boston and Worcester; or
to Boston and from there 10 Worcester.
OF course these routes will be more ex-
pensive, and will be used by those having
business to transact at any Of the points
noticed.
