Marriage and Divorce In Vermont.

Mr.. Editor The whole number of marriages,
"a we learn from the secretary of state, in 1881
WAS 27G3, and of divorces 1863 The ratio of di-
yorces to marriages is / to l6.5. Since 1878,
when the divorces were 1871, the divorces for each
wear respectively have been 1876, 1919, 12G and
l6S 1t will be seen that the last year notes
marked increase. The restraining effect of the
law of 1878 may still be as great rs ever, for the
increase may be due to general causes, and but
for the restriction would have been far greater.
Some legislative action should be taken this year,
Further restraints may be put ON remarrlage,
affecting both parties. Both Massachusetts, and
New Hampshire provide for the punishment of
the guilty party In all cases of divorce for adultery
OF other criminal tienses, and we are Informed
that the law is effective in goodly number OF
instances Surely il a man Is guilty Of such in
toerabe severity as to make 1t necessary for the
state to break up the most fundamental relation
in society to protect an innocent wife, he ought
to be punished for it, Massachusetts, makes II a
crime for man to desert his children. The
time may come when the desertion OF q wife will
be made a crime against the state 1t is the state
and not the individual only, whose interests de-
mand consideration here as in cases OF crimes
generally, and the state depends upon the
family "The family" says Prof. Goodwin
Smith in a note expressing his deep conviction
OF the mOmentous character OF the divorce ques-
tion," "is even of more Importance than the

AlmOn Meaker's Farm Trade.

Mr.. Editor; The Free Press, apparently in
spired by an alleged lawyer in Waterbury who
was the inventor Of the incest theory by way OF
supplying motive for the murder Of Alice Mea-
ker, makes some statements about farm trade OF
Almon to show that he was bright, sharp fellow
The following are the real facts Meaker was To
pay 81, 800 difference between the farm In Water
bury and the place in Duxbury. The place in
Duxbury cost the Meakers 500. The farm in
Waterbury, for which they were trading and for
which the papers were made but were never
signed, was appraised by the listers in 1882 at
81 400 Several good judges of real estate set
the farm in value not to exceed 81 800 This is
the bright and smart trade about which the Free
Press and several state papers have had so much
to say and was given as a reason why Louis
Amon Meaker's sentence Of death should not be
commuted to imprisonment for life, Other trades
might be cited to show how very sharp" this
simpleton was. lie was saved from making the
above trade by the interference of man who
had some mercy for him.

Shepherdstown and taken unto
himself a bran-new wife, and we
understand is going to move out
of the neighborhood. All regret
his loss but are consoled by the
fact of his getting a very congo

one who will as far as within her
power, promote his interest.
That their connubial bond will
render their lives happy we have

A Notorious Career Ended.

JESSE JAMES ASSASSINATED BY
TWO MEMBERS OF HIS OUT
LAwED GANG.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, April "a
great sensation was created in this
city THIS morning by the announce
ment that Jesse James, the motor
ious bandit and train robber. had
been shot and killed here. In a
small frame shaniy in the south
east part of the city, on the hill,
not far from the Worlds Hotel,
Jesse James has lived with his
wife since some time in Novem-
Der last. Two members of his
gang, Robert and Charles Ford,
and James were in the front room
together about 8 o'clock this
morning. James took of his belt
and laid his pistols on the bed,
preparing to wash himself, when
Robert Ford sprang up behind
MIN, and sent a bullet through
his braiD. The ball entered the
back OF his head at the base of the
right brain. coming out over the
eye. The Ford brothers at once
made known what they had done,
and gave themselves up. They
are now under guard at the court
house. James wife has telegraph
Ell TO his mother the news OF his
death. A humber of men have
identified the body, and there is
no question about its being that of
Jesse James. A look at The body
at The undertaker's, showed that
ne was fine-lookiug man, ap-
paran,ly forty years old, vii

uomy was that ofan intelligent, AS

The house where James lived and
IN which he was killed has the ap-
pearance OF an armory. A mum :
Der of guns and pistols, including
repeating rifle, Il needle gun and
navy revolvers, with a good store
of ammunition. were found there.
Jesse was in the habit of wearing
two belts, with brace of very
fine revOlvers and twenty-five ex-
ira cartridges. In a small stable,
near the house, were discovered
several fine horses, the property
of James.
The Ford brothers claim that
they are detectives, and that they
have been on James track for a
long time. 1t is believed they
were with James in the Blue Cut
train robbery, and that they were
influenced in killing him by the
hope of getting the big reward,
which has been offered for JAMES,
dead or alive, 10y the Governor
and by the express and railroad
companies.
1t is learned that Ford, who is
believed to be a member of The
gang, was under The control of

Kansas City. aud h, been used As
an instrument for James destruc-
