The Best Rubber Root.

There is nothing better for farmer or out
door man than good rubber boot, and moth
ing 30 exasperatiDg as bad one. Competition
among manufacturers has led to such cheap
ening of quality that until lately it was hard
thing to find rubber boot really worth the
money asked for it. The Candee Rubber Go.
OF New Haven, Ct., however, has lately put on
the market a boot designed to meet the call for
real good, substantial article and to denote
it's 'freedom from adulteratve mixtures it is
called the "95 Per Cent. Sterling Boot" It is
made, on honor, as pure as can be made, and is
warranted three months. By an ingenious con-
trivance space is provided at the top of the
leg for recording the date of the sale, by
punching holes in the spaces provided-like
railroad ticket-so that there may be no trouble
about the warrant. The upper and leg of the
" 95" Boots are doubled, and the so1es are one
half inch thick, of solid rubber from toe to
heel. Ordinary rubber boots are barely aquar-
ter inch thick In the thickest part, and only
one eighth at the shank. A descriptive circular
can be obtained by sending q postal direct to
the company; or the /" 95" Boots can be found
at most of the stores.

Murderer's Fate-The Story of a Fam
 lily Feud Ending in RIurdler-A Cold
 Flooded Assassination in the Woods.
 SALEM, Nov. 26.-The execution of Marcus de Lafayette Hawley, vho was convicted last month in the circuit court of this county of the murder of Zachariah Hays in June of last year, took place here to-day. Both the murderer and his victim were white men. The execution was conducted privately. The only persons present were the officers of the court, a small guard, minister of the gospel and representatives of the press.
 The killing of Zachariah Hays was nothing more nor less than a deliberate assassination, resulting from feud of long standing, hay; ing it's origin in a suit for the possession of about fifty acres of mountain land claimed by the father of HawIey and by Hays. The lat ter, some three or four years ago, sold and conveyed the land to the elder Hawley with contract that if it was not paid for in a cer- tain time it should revert to Hays. Upon the expiration of the time of the contract flaw ley had failed to comply with it's terms, but remained in possession of the land. The case was then taken to the courts, and after various trials Hays, in the spring of 1879, obtained a judgment in his favor. A writ of possession was issued, and the Hawleys were elected from the premises into the public road and Hays took possession. There was much bad feeling, and a great many threats were made on both sides, and the magistrates Of that portion of Roanoke county were beset by both Hays and Hawley for peace warrants against each other, but none were grant ed. Matters continued in this conditio on until the 18th of June, 1879-the Hawleys dispossessed and bitter in their denuncia- tions-but no one thought that anything would result from their threats. About sum- set of the day mentioned Hays, who had been at work in the field, left for home in company with two other persons. They had proceeded but a short distance through the woods, when a shot was heard and Hays fell wounded. No one saw who fired the shot, nor from whence it came. The well known bad blood existing between the murdered man and the Hawley family naturally caused suspicion to rest upon the latter, and they were all arrested, the elder Hawley, four sons, (Marcus D. L., Peter, Calvin and a younger son), and George Porter, who had married one of Hawley's daughters. Upon the preliminary examination the father and youngest soR were discharged. Peter Haw- ley was convicted of murder in the second degree and was sentenced to the penitentiary for thirteen years. Calvin was convicted of accessory to manslaughter," and he was sentenced to the penitentiary for one year. Marcus D. l.. Hawley was convicted of mur- der in the first degree. Since his conviction Marcus has confessed to the crime, but inn plicated no one else.

Councfl-School Examina-

tfons-A Board of Examiners.
 The Connecticut Council of Education met in Hartford yesterday. Augustus Morse, chairman of the committee on school exam nations, read report on that subject, desig- hating flaws in the present system of exam ming pupils. Courage and coolness would enable some pupils to pass better than others not so qualified but better informed. An other trouble was too low grade of teachers in many primary schools. MT. Joseph Hall, of Hartford, assented to the conclusions. R. T. Hitchcock, of Thompsonyille, and w. T. Gage of Hartford also spoke
 MT. L. L, Camp of New Haven, member of the committee, said it had been said to him that there college or high school in the State that would admit pupils merely on recommendation, because of the outside pressure that would be brought to bear on their principals Now this report does not mean to do away with examination, but mere ly that those pupils about whom there is no doubt may be admitted on recommendation and the rest in the present way. It is intend ed to make uniform system of schools and at the same time by somewhat increasing the responsibilities of teachers in the lower schools to make their position really more dignifed and more important. There is one point as to which there may De some trouble that is, that parents may feel aggrieved by the withholding of q recommendation.
 T. I. Driggs of Waterbury, MT. Lewis of New Haven, J. R. French of Meriden, A. P. Somes of Danielsonville and others discussed the matter; also Mir. T. W. T. Curtis of New Haven, who said he thought change in the direction indicated by the report of very great advantage So far as the admission of a certain portion of the pupils by recon mendation goes. he thought there were no valid objections, Still further those who are able to make rapid progress have Q right to facilities for progress. If the fractional method of recommendation is adopted there seems no reason why the high CT grade should not be secure dagainst improp CT admissions, especially if the recommenda- tions be limited and guarded by condition that the privilege of recommending shall be coupled with requirement. that the pupils afterwards sustain themselves MT. Curtis also favored making some effort to encourage rapidity of mental work.
 At the afternoon session a proposed amendment to the statutes of Connecticut was presented. It was for the appointment of a board of examiners to consist of nine persons to examine candidates for teachers.

Han1an Likely to Meet Layco,

Han1an Likely to Meet Laycock.
 LONDON, Nov 26.-A good deal of interest seems to have been awakened on the subject of the proposed match between Hanlan and Laycock. Numerous correspondents have written to the 6portsman offerings subscrip- tion toward making up Laycock's e1, ,OOO, Hanlan having stipulated in addition to the usual terms bet of e1, ,0o0. It isnot known whether this includes the title to the cham pionship of the world recently won by Hanlan. What at the beginning of the week appeared very improbable and almost impos- sible now seems in way of becoming prac- ticable, in which case the race will be one of the most interesting events ever known in the world. Although Hanlan, when the challenge was issued, seemed very indifferent, he now states positively that if his terms are acceded to he will sign articles to row in six weeks in order to show the world which is the best man of the two.

Concert in Milford.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 Great praise is due to Miss Lucia Barthol- omew for furnishing the music-loving public of Milford with concert on Thanksgiving eve, which gave the highest satisfaction to all who attended.
 It was intended to have been Miss B. s concert, with the assistance of her profes sional friends from the New Haven Conserva- tory of Music, but 1t proved to be Hamlet with Hamlet left out in other words it was her concert, with Miss Bartholomew's part omitted on account of @ severe cold, which entirely prevented the use of her voice in singing. The audience was disappointed of course, but felt much sympathy for the lady, who is favorite vocalist in this community and sincerely respected for her ability as 8 teacher in the graded school, as well as for her social qualities and worth of character
 The artists on this occasion performed their parts with precision and spirit. MT. Parsons, as piano soloist, rendered Liszt' s difficult Rhapsodie Hongroise No. 6, and Gottschalk's Home, Sweet Home" with choice execution and admirable expression. Miss Gaffney (soprano) was justly encored In the polka song. The Angels Serenade, /" with violin obligato, was admirably adapted to her clear and flexible voice. Her duet with
 
 much enjoyed. Miss R. (contralto), who took Miss Bartholomew's place, rendered one or two solos with good taste and skill. MT. Bushnelrs baritone was well displayed in ssLondon Bridge" for which he was de- servedly encored.
 Two quartettes (by Misses Gafney and Roberts, Messrs Bristol and BushnelD added variety and beauty to the programme
 But no one more thoroughly awakened the enthusiasm of the audience than MT. Waas in his magnificent handling of the violin. He is a first-class genius making his instrument talk and laugh and sing Indeed, with his limitations of many sounds from the barn yard, the country fiddler and the bagpipe, he shows the power to bring out of the violin a greater variety of notes than the strings could be conceived to possess. The delicate and tripping running of the scaler in his Caprice Schottisehe was only equalled by the flying leaps of two or three octaves at a time, which his fingers accomplished with the agility and grace of an acrobat on the double trapeze.
 For one, the writer wanted to shout Bravo! Bravol' p at the conclusion of his performance, but he refrained for fear the audience would misunderstood the noise and send the ianitor of the hall after him & dis turber of the meeting"
 It would gratify many of our people if this concert could be repeated before the season closes with Miss Bartholomew's voice added to the programme. MUsIoUs
