A Denial.

Mr.. Editor ALLOW me to correct the Waits
field correspondent in regard to his statements
made in last weeks issue of your paper by say
ing that DR.. E. G. Hooker, who was mentioned in
the Waitsfeld items OF last week, attended his
academic course at Dr. Standings school at
Barre, Vermont and during the winter OF 1868
and 1864 he attended full six months course Of
medical Lectures at the University of Michigan
at Ann Arbor, Michigan, an institution that
stands shoulder to shoulder with the best colleges
in our country. Again he attended his second
full six months course OF lectures at the college
Of physicians and surgeons New York city, dur
ing the winter OF 1864 and 1865. Furthermore he
has all the necessary documents required by
law to practice his profession in Waterbury or
any other town. There is also one other article
that the doctors in this town for the past
sixteen years proves him to possess that is far
more essential to his patients than legal docu-
ments," which is sufficient amount Of well cul-
tvated brains to practice his profession success
fully. He has, as the correspondent stated, To-
Gated in the pleasant town of Waterbury and has
already commenced practice there, and II his la
bors in Waterbury are crowned with the success
which has attended him here in waitsfeld,
Waterbury is to be congratulated on this addition
to her physicians | would also say that Mrs.
Dr. Camp has not been at her fathers home III
Nth the diphtherid, but is living in this place
with her husband and we are pleased to welcome
them both as citizens Of our little rural town and
wish them both entire success. feel that these
corrections should, in justice to the parties and
your cledn-hdnded paper, be made. speak moi

him to give up preaching. Mrs yanornam is

THE CARR MURDER CAsE-Last Thursday Gov
ernor Farnham held hearing at Judge Redfeld' 3
house, the judge sitting with him at his request
in an advisory capacity, on the petition Of Carr 5
counsel for reprieve until after the next session
of the legislature. Hiram Carleton, ESQ.,, ap-
peared in behalf OF Carr, and States Attorney G..
II. Pitkin, assisted by Frank Plumley, Esq, the
states attorney at the time Of the trial. in behalf
Of the state. Carr's counsel in the petition main
tanned that the sentence of death cannot be law
fully executed until after the close of the legsla-
that within the true meaning Of the statute a full
session Of the legislature had not so interviewed.
The state claimed that the supreme court must
have fully considered the import and bearing Of
the law of 1873 on the case and that their obvious
construction Of that statute in the determination
reached in the matter must be accepted as ju-
dicial Interpretation, and one that was not to be
controverted They also claimed that Carr had
had all the advantages and opportunities afforded
him contemplated by the law, he having been ex-
amined by committees of both houses they had
reported adversely in the matter and their report
had been unanimously adopted against commute
ton. The governor took the latter view Of the
matter, and said that as the only purpose Of the
present motion for reprieye was TO afford another
opportunity to petition for Communication of SEN
tence on the same grounds that the legisla-
ture had already passed adversely upon, the pc
tition ought not to be granted. This decision
must be regarded as just and in accordance with
the spirit Of the law OF 1873.

veo was killed at the same quarry by the fall Of
a derrick ... Popular feeling was considerably
disturbed here, last week Friday. caused by the
arrest, by Deputy Sheriff Howe, Of five young
men charged with being tramps. For two or
three days the men had been about the village
asking for food, though in a very quiet and gen.
tlemanly manner, as the proof showed. On Fri
day the arrested men had trial before d. T..
Averill. W. F. Baker managed the case for the
state and Metcalf Il Conway volunteered for the
defence, The proof adduced lacked positiveness,
most Of the witnesses being unwilling to swear to
the identity Of the men on trial, who were allowed
to go their way which they did, almost on the
double quick.

Barre Academy.

Mr.. Editor A few days ago we noticed cir
cular from the executive committee OF Barre
Academy, asking aid Of those that look to the
academy as their alma mater The appeal to the
graduates is in "the name of your pleasant recol-
lections Of Barre Academy in the name of the
upright, healthful training you received there, in
the name Of him under whose instruction you
profited, and in the name of sound mental cul-
ture" To all in whose interest Barre Academy
has a place, this appeal should not come in vain
To many hundreds the academy Is dear, for to
them the face Of him that gave it a name was
DEAR and the associations Of its halls and the fel
low-students that gathered there are memories
still bright. The happiest days that many a
one has spent were their school days at Barre,
and to them the academy seems like a home.
While Mr.. Spaulding lived the academy's finan-
cial condition was not such that 1t could take the
position its friends desired for it, and it was Dr.
Spaulding's most earnest wish that it might
stand on firm basis. On Mr.. Spaulding's death,
one year ago, many feared that the academy's
life was also ended. year has passed since
than-a year Of happy disappointment to such
We feel justified in saying that the academy for
the past year has done better work than at any
previous time,-work better in every respect for
its students, and consequently better for itself.
The present number Of students in attendance
compares favorably with that Of the past few
years, and the graduating class averages with
the two preceding. They into whose hands the
labor Of instruction has fallen have done hard
and honest work which, performed, as it has
been, under circumstances far from the most
favorable, commends them highly as instructors,
and, we think, deserves ample reward
As an dl,imnus and friend OF the academy we
would be glad indeed to see it what our much la
mented teacher and friend wished it to be,--a
firmly -founded, first-class school. That 1t may
become such 1t needs help. and it can expect that
but from those it has helped.
However much those that are now at the helm
may wish to see the prosperity Of their charge,
and we know that their interest is great, 1t can
hardly be expected that they will be willing to
sacrifice life of labor with no other reward than
seeing at its end the academy but just established
That it should be thus firmly established is due
to the honest work that the present instructors
have done to maintain its high character in its
late misfortune, and, more than all, 1t is due to
the memory Of its first honored principal, who
spent the strength Of his life to gain for Barre
Academy name that should be honored, and
who died in the work. c. W.T..
