In connection with Judge Wheeler's recent
reprimand of Superintendent Eayres for the
unwarrantsble liberties he had allowed Silas
NJ. Waite, it is now stated that complaint on
the same ground came to Governor Barstow

rectors OF the house OF correction to notify the
superintendent that this practice must be
stopped Immediately. An investigation Of the
matter is now in progress and, If 1t should ap-
pear that Superintendent Eayres received such
notice and has disobeyed it, he will be dis
missed at once.

A HEARING on the petition of the Barton
national bank to have Bradley Barlow declared
an insolvent debtor was held last week before
Judge Bailey, General W. w. Grout appearing
for the bank and A. P. Cross, Esq, for Mr..
Barlow. The petition WAS allowed and Mr..
Barlow at once took an appeal to the county
court. 1t Is stated that he does not intend to
contest insolvency proceedings 80 far as he is
concerned, but as the Brainerd case was sp-
pealed and the two cases are very closely con-
nected, it is thought best to have the Barlow
case held back until the other is decided.

THE St. Albans Messenger says: "One o
the indictments against Lawrence Brainerd |
founded on loan OF $50, 900 made to himsel
about seven days prior to the closing Of tn
trust company. The facts alleged are that a
this time the trust company had deposit O
$685. 900 in the Vermont National Bank tina
Lawrence Brainerd checked out $50, 900 of thi
deposit and gave his note to the trust compan
therefor. Governor Cotton testifies that tn
Norwood Lumber company did not receive an
money from Brainerd after July 1. The quer
naturally arises what became OF this $50, 900 1
cash, II it is accepted as true that Lawrenc
Brainerd had only So AZ in his pocket whe
the trust company failed"
