Execution Of Carr.

Notwithstanding the protest of ''the
gentleman from Peru" and the sugges-
tions of the Boston Herald, Carr. the
murderer of the half breed Marcommock
mt Worcester, Dec. IL, 1873, was hung
at Windsor on Friday last-the Gov
ernor having decided fully that he could
not interfere in his behalf Carr was
the sixteenth victim of the gallows in
this state, and as he was guilty of two
murders there is no doubt as to the
business of his punishment. Up to the
last moment Carr showed brutal in
difference to his fate, and had nothing
particularly to say, save to lay the
blame of the crime upon his cousin
Chester and the wife of his victim
About fifty persons witnessed the exc
cutiOn.

Burglary at MarshfeId.

Very early Tuesday morning Il dar-
ing robbery was committed at the house
of Geo. o. Davis, in Marshfield. On
arising between two and three o'clock,
Mr.. Davis saw man standing i'll the
doorway, who, on being discovered,
fired at him, the ball passing through
Mr.. Davis wrist. The burglar then es-
capped, but was taken next day near
Peabody's Station, after a desperate
fight with the officers. Two watches
and number of other things were
found upon him, stolen from Mr.. Da-
Wis and other parties. He refuses to
give his name, but halls from Pennsyl
yania.

A Serious Charge.

Lewis BurgOyne, who has lived in
this town some two years, on the A. j.
Willard place north of Paddock village,
was arrested yesterday on charge of
adultery, the charge being preferred
by one Kittredge, of Walden, father of
the girl. Bail was obtained, and Il
hearing of the case will be had to-mor-
row. Mr.. Burgoyne is an Advent
preacher, and has held meetings the
past winter in Walden, where there has
been quite a revival. He came to this
place from Salem, Vt. 1t is serious
charge, and every man is supposed to
he innocent until proved guilty.

summer.
George Woodland, % years old, has
lived at John Ways for some years.
Gertie Farnham, 9years old, an orphan,
has lived at the same place since last
Christmas. Last Wednesday George
was arrested for rape on this girl, and
the evidence was so strong against him
that his bail was set at $1,000, being
unable to obtain which, he was con
signed to Jail. This is the third Offense
i'll the last few years, but he never has
been arrested before.

For the good of the individual or of
society, there is frequently call for the
exercise of vigorous local authority.
Take cases of insane persons, such as
frequently occur. The person may or
may not be, what is called harmlessly
insane. If he is supposed to be harm
less, no one can tell how long he will
remain so. The most shocking crimes
occur very frequently by reason of not
restraining the insane. If friends neg
lcct to care for this unfortunate class,
then the authorities should step in
promptly and assume the responsible
ty. The good of the individual and the
protection of the community demand
it.
Another case. There is an elderly
man in this town whose second wife
has deserted him, leaving two children
with the fathcr-a boy of eleven, and IL
girl of seven. Kind ladies interested
themselves in behalf of the children
and secured them Il place in the Bur
lingtoh "EIome." The boy was head
strong and had never been controlled.
In course of time, when weary of re
straint, he ran away from the Home
and came to his father. Some excuse
must be made for this, so he told his
father he did not have enough to eat !!
This touched the fathers heart, for
though ignorant and rough, he seems to
think Il good deal of his children in IL
certain way. Notwithstanding the boy
was fat and clearly and well dressed,
the father pretended to believe his sto-
ny, and Immediately went to Burlington
and brought away the little girl also.
All winter long these three persons
man 65, Il boy of eleven, and the girl
of seven, have lived together in mis-
cradle house, with no one to cook, or
wash, or iron, or mend, or care in any
manner for their wants. For several
weeks during the coolest of the winter
the father was in the town of Victory
ut work, leaving these two children
alone in the house, night and day, to
live, no one knows how Nearly two
weeks ago, the boy, though well and
hardy as an Indian, took a violent cold,
which settled into fever. During the
first week of his illness his father went
TO liz. NKnt.ly daily a mia
before seven in the morning, not re-
turning until nearly seven ut night.
The girl attended school, thus leaving
this sick boy alone in the house nearly
all day, with no one to care for, restrain
or comfort him and when the inmates
fthe house were at home, neither their
age, ability, or things to do with, were
at all adequate to the wants of the case.
This is not sensational story, and is
of truth and sOberness only not near
ly so bad as they might he stated. 1t
is easy to ascertain about this by en-
quiry of DR.. Folsom, who was called to
the boy, or any of the near neighbors.
But the authorities have known about
this case all winter Their attention
has been directly called to it. If there
is no law that will reach this case, let
one be framed if there is, let it be en-
forced. This village boasts of its nine
or ten fine churches is justly proud of
its Athen1um, Academy and means of
culture and grace; but as a gentleman
said to the writer a few days ago, here
is Il case that would disgrace the civil
cation of the Black Hills.

Kicked by "a Horse.

On Thursday last, William Owen,
son of Frank Owen, was kicked by Il
horse. He had been blowing, and took
the horse into IL ncighbor's yard to wa
ter him. While there the boy struck
the horse, who resented the blow by
kicking the boy in the mouth, taking
out all his front lower teeth and the
setting, besides breaking off several of
the upper front teeth. The horse was
not in the habit of kicking.

/ SPRING AND SUMNER, |

In a former article reference was made to the
tendency toward radical change in the styles of
fashionable clothing, and the object of this is to
notify the public that the change predicted by the
leading fashion reporter has come and is fully as
radical as expected.
Some people think that the fashions are gotten
up by the men who make the fashion plates but
this is not So They simply report the styles of
garments most in favor among that class of men
who make the matter of dress a study and with
whom the important item Of paying for what they
buy does not Of necessity become such a serious
matter for reflection and study as is the case with
the great majority of men who wear clothes for the
same reason that first parents sewed fg leaves
tOgether,-ony to their nakedness. There
fore the styles reported the present season. are not
put forth just to whether people will wear them
or not, or simply to have something now, but they
are accurate representations of garments actually
worn at the present time by the leaders of fashion.
The extreme styles may not, and probably will
not, meet with much favor from those WHO enjoy
plenty Of room and refuse to be tied up in such a
way that the free action of the limbs is in any way
impeded. To such it is proper to say, as l have
said many times before, that am here as a servant
to the public by whose patronage 1 am enabled 10

gardlng the wishes of my customers except in
eases where such a course would ruin whatever
reputation may have as a cutter
1t Is common saying that we Of the country are
always about two years behind our CITY brethren
in styles of clothing, but this is strictly true
as little OF my own experience will illustrate -
About the time when loose pants were coming into
style was cutting pants in Chicago and found it
just hard to make customers adopt the new style
as it would have been in a country town that made
no pretensi0n to STYLE Human nature il much
the same in city or country.
The above is intended to be soothing and re-
assuring kind of antidote for the following ex

Anthracite Waste Burning locomotives
The utilization of anthracite waste of which there
are a hundred millions of tons around tho mines
and breakers in Pennsylvania is n most desirable
accomplishment and the Globe COmpany's inven-
tons viii be of immense benefit Ia all railroads u.s.
ing anthracite coal for fuel. They have already
refused the offer of one railroad in Pennsylvania
for the exclusive of their anthracite waste
burning patents ON the engines of that line Al
though that company offered ten per cent annual
ly on the entire capital of the Globe Company the
manager would not restrict the to one railroad
but decided to build locomotives exactly in accord
ance with the Globe Company plans aud patents
these locomotives Will not differ materially in
ward appearance from the generl style in use but
be so constructed internally as to run with great
economy and cleanliness to the advantage of all
owning railroad stocks and the comfort and con
venence of the travelling public. That the enter
prise of the erection of the Globe COmpanys Loco

not be doubted, the knowledge of the Globe
