While there is so much talk about the
Phair case we call to mind how Rutland
county man who stayed in Warren one
night year or two ago told how. about
the time of the Freeze murder, a man cali
ing himself +. F. Smith and either being
Phair or looking much like him stopped
for some days on fishing excursion at
house in 4 town near Rutland.
Three prisoners, Armstrong, Jerome
Howard, and Thomas Pope, broke jail at
Burlington, Friday night, by digging a
hole in the chimney, climbing through the
flue tie the roof, and thence jumping 10 the
ground. Sheriff Drew offers reward OF
S25 for the return of the prisoners.
Deputy Sheriff Drew went up to North
field Saturday in search of the fugitives
II couple of whom had been engaged in a
burglary there. He did not find his men
however.
The donation visit and oyster supper for
the benefit of Rev. C. S. Hubert at Mid
dlesex Four Corners was very pleasant
affair to all concerned, and in spite of the
cold and storm good company was pres
ent, many of whom went to their homes
to bear testimony in favor of the culinary
abilities of the ladies who prepared the
supper.
There is quite an awakening in old No
0, and the meetings there are growing in
interest and profit. Pray for us, that the
Lord may water US with the dews of
Heaven.
1t has been stated that many farmers
are holding their potatoes, expecting to
get high price in the spring. But there
is an abundance of potatoes just now in the
city markets, and it is said there are
thousands of bushels yet to come from the
British provinces, which will keep the
price within reasonable limits. A large
shipment arrived in New York, recently
causing Il sharp decline in prices. Before
this dealers were talking Of five dollars
per barrel, but last week imported potatoe:
sold for one dollar and seventy-five cents
per barrel, and two dollars was considered
q good price. 1t is thought the tendenc,
is toward continued decline rather thar
an increase in price.

Some four weeks since man, or rather a walk

cine Depot, No. SIKH Avenue, New York, COM
pletely exhausted, just riding from Fourteenth
street near Ninth Avenue. He took Il chair, and
afler reganng sufficient strength, informed Mr. T..
that he had been given up by his physicians to die,
from what they termed to be a severe case of Con.
sumption one lung being entirely gone, and the
other more or less affected. lie says, :" Mr.. Crit
tenten, Will your article, which have seen adver-
tised (mcaning IIale's Honey of iiOrehound and
Tar,) cure, or give me reel?" gravely informed
him that IL was very bad case, and one which |
was afraid had run too long; but advised him to
try one botle,as it certainly could do him no harm,
and see the effect explaining at the same time that
Honey and HOrehound soothed and scattered all
irrltatlons and lnllammatons, and the Tar Balm
cleansed and cleared the throat and air passages
ledng t. the lungs, and the additional ingredlen Is
kept the organs cool, moist and in healthy actcn.
He took my advice bought a bottle and went away.
On Saturday he again came into the store, with
light step and smiling cOuntanenCe; stated that
he used the FIRST bottle, and found 50 mucn relief
that he felt cncOuraged,and at different times since
he has sent Tor seven more bottles, which he h I'D
used, and believed himself permantly cured; said
he should recommend IL to all his friends and &C
quaintances, which, as he said, we're many, as he
was u man of wealth an nnncnce The price oil

MY brothers and sisters, did you in your
fondest dreams and highest hopes paint
the ideal progress fairer than the real
which we behold to-day. How we have
slumbered in the unhappy past, but the
visions of those sad hours in which We're
pictures of decay, disintegraton and ruin
were but the dreams of our diseased inn
aginations, though they bound us down as
with chains of lead. We do indeed reap
grand results, and the harvest which we
gather in is rich with golden fruit.
Established upon the true basis of abso-
lutte prohibition would the state stand firm
indeed, displaying new strength, yielding
higher and grander results. Then will
her sons and daughters, standing ia the
bright light of that blessed day which
surely is to be, uncover their heads in
renewed admiration of her virtues, her
history and her power, and from full and
eloquent hearts as the proudest utterance
of their lips, exclaim, This is Vermont
and we are her people"

LEES LYNCHING.
HORRIBLE CRIME TERRIBLY AVENGED
Mob Justice in West Wrginia-Lynehing Of
Mort Lee, the Negro RaVisher-Ihe
Whole Affair Conducted De-
Gently and in Order.

Coal VALLEY, W. Va, July 8, 2 A. NJ.
Three hundred citizens captured the
four O'Clock western-bound train last
evening, going TO Huntington, where
they took the negro Mort Lee, who COM
mitted the horrible outrage upon Mrs
Little several days ago, and returned on
the ten p. NJ. train, inspite OF three sher-
IFS and several detectives, and arrived
here at midnight. Here they were met
by several hundred more citizens, who
took him from the train at once. All
along the route loud and prolonged
cheers greeted the heavily-lOaded tram.
The great thrOng were a body OF quiet,
earnest men, determined upon speedy
Justice. There was not single drunk
en- man in the crowd.
Your correspondent interviewed the
prisoner coming up on the train, but he
was very reticent. He said he had been
a servant i'm the house for four years,
and that he was drunk when he com
mitted the deed. He expressed will
ingness to suffer death for his crime.
He said he was prepared todie, let death
come as il would.
After the crowd took him from the
train he was conducted to the river
bank, and there, under a huge elm tree,
he was given some time To make any
confession or 20 offer PRAYER. lie con-
fessed 10 his guilt, and requested that
he be hung quickly, and that they would
not mutilate his body in any way. He
also requested something to eat, which
was given him. Then the moose was ed-
iusted. the bandage tied, and Lee sur
rendered up the ghost, and paid the
penalty of his hellish lust with his hfe.
It was ghastly spectacle at midnight
a. silence spread over the great thrOng
AMI nothing stirred save the slow sway
inc of his body. Then the lighting OF a
match broke the silence, and one by
one lanterns were lighted and cast their
dim lights on the lifeless form Of the ne
gro fiend The crowd then began 10
disDerSe, leaving him alone 10 darkness
and 10 death.
Lee told your reporter, before his
death, that he was from Carolina county,
Virginia, came To this valley twelve
wears agp, and that he was now twenty
four wears old. He has no people IN
this State and desired that no COmmuni-
cation be sent them about his ignOmln-
iOus death.
Kanawha Valley now records another
lynching; vet there was the least spirit
of mobOcracy about this crowd OF any
ever witnessed. They executed him,
and every man in the crowd believed it
was a duty to society, and to his family.
Every thing was as quiet in an hour as
il nothing had happened, and the hOr-
rible Crime-if crime il be-will soon be
a thing OF the past.

1--WE will pass it next fall" said he;
Eve will pass it sure. We would have
passed 1.-THE other day if either Bailey,
Ransom or Wade Hampton had been
there. They all told me that they
would have voted for il, but they came
in Just after the vote had been taken.
The vote of either would have carried

"What are Bayard's chances for the
Presidential nomination"
None; there is not the least prospect
of his nomination"
"What of Tilden?'
"Tilden hasn't three friends in Con-
greSs, and he will never receive another
Democratic nomination ior President. ~
"WhO is is the coming man.
Thurman. He is the strongest man
we have, and he has the best chance
Tor the nomination. Ohio is going Dem
ocratic, and that will put Thurman right
to the front"
"But is there not some bad feeling be-
tween Thurman and Ewing and the
friends OF each?'
"NO. That's all settled. have talk
ed frequently with Ewing. | am his
friend, and | know how matters stand.
There is no trouble between them, and
Ewing's election means the advance
ment of Thurman"
