A Missing Vermont Cattle Dealer.

A dispatch from Rutland, VT, says:
''NO circumstance since the exposure
of Batchelder, the Brandon bank forger,
has so aroused the people of Addison
county, as the disappearance of Thomas
S ockett the livestock dealer, who
went to the Boston market, as was his
weekly custom, the I'd, and he did not
return. 1t is believed he sailed for
Europe, taking some $4,000, obtained
Of farmers and drovers throughout the
state, but mainly in Addison, Chitten-
den and Rutland counties, of whom he
had bought on credit, stock for the
market. The losses OF his victims
range from 800 to 81 800 each, and some
run as high as $1,000. Shockett has
speculated in live stock in the state
for thirty years, beginning when he
was but fifteen years old. Some twenty
years ago he became mixed up in law
suit with one Hammond, involving the
paternity Of his only child, and de-
manded $50, 1000 damages. After a con-
test ofseveral years, during which the
ablest lawyers in the state were en-
ployed, the court awarded him $4,000,
but previous to this his opponent had
become bankrupt 1t is now thought
that this suit so crippled him that he
could never extricate himself, and when
concealment was no longer possible he
fled He will be found and brought

SOME years ago the English papers
were discussing the probable duration
of the coal supply of their island.
Some authorities were of the opinion
that the mines would be exhausted in
the course of 100 years, but the general
belief was that they would last for
many centuries Yet they have been
worked so long that they extend far
down into the earth. Accumulations
Of infammable vapors are much more
common than near the surface, and
when explosions occur, it is very diff
cult to get ut the human victims. The
fact has just been illustrated in the Sea-
ham colliery, where 100 men were
killed by the explosion last week. The
increasing danger Of mining is a fact
that the English must consider as well
rs the possible exhaustion of coal.
There seems to be little choice between
working in an English coal mine and a
powder mill.

Two sons of John Henry Wells, of
Long Island, aged 10 and II, were playing
with an old revolver, in the house, while
the family were at church. The Youngest
son snapped the revolver fourteen or fifteen
times, aiming it playfully at his brother,
but there was no explosion. Finally the
youngest boy mounted the horse block in
front Of the house, and as the elder boy
approached he said, Halt, or I'll shoot
YOU. He pulled the trigger, as he had
done so often before; there was an explo-
sion, and the 17-year-old boy fell dead in
his tracks, shot through the heart. The
boy on the horse block fell ina faint. The
strangest part of the tragedy is that the
cartridge did not explode sooner. after the
many times it had been struck, both on
this evening and previously. The parents
were called out of church, and when they
learned the facts their grief was intense.
