A SLIGHT move of popular commotion
passed over France on the occasion OF the re-
cent Legitimist meeting, at which were 5000
malcontents in search of the dregs of French
royalty This body of patriots, who have no
use for the republic, took pledge in the form
of resolution to supports the Royalist cause
in an imaginary struggle, which they declare
impending. The great unimPortance of this
demonstration may be sufficient to hurry the
Princes into exile, where they may flourish
and may fade, like June roses, and leave the
vexed air fragrant with royalty.

deadly feud over the "charges made to
the country through the public press" against
the latter. General Hazen will not have a

two bills before the late Senate, each for the
better regulation of the Bureau, in opposite
ways, are gone into the receptacle Of dead
things. In the meantime the weather contin'

IT APPEARS that the new New Orleans lot
terry Adventures, known as the tombola men,
who recently enjoined the city authorities from
interfering with them, have had tkeir iniunc-
tons dissolved. This leaves them, as before,
to be disposed of at the discretion of the
Chief of POLICE. Now we know an authentic
story of the predecessor of the present New
Orleans Chief of Police who, without having
the right to dispose of gamblers privileges,
fought his way as partner into popular
gambling house, where he wintered to great
advantage. But the present official may moi
cut his cloth by that pattern.

"Mrs. NJ. b. Sherman, st. Alpans, VT"

she had lived just before she came to
Middlebury, and who is said to have
brought her here, has fled the country.
These are some of the facts. There are,
besides, many ugly rumors. In the
minds of many the well-authenticated
facts are in themselves very suspicious.
If these suspicious are not well found
ed. then 1t is due to the memory of
the dead woman that they be re-
moved. If n grave crime has been COM
shall be punished by Imprisonment in the
State prisdA for not more than twenty
nor less than FIVE years-the criminal
should be found out and punished. A
rigid investigation is demanded by
public decency and in the interest of
public morals. If the States attorney
does his duty, he will enter upon one
that will leave nothing undone which can
serve to bring out the truth. 1t may cost
the State something in money to probe
the matter to the bottom; but it will cost
the community more in debased moral
sense and decreased respect for the au-
thorities, if no investigation is attempted.

have said nothing about this case hther-
to because il was understood efforts had
been made to bring about legal investi-
CATION. But, so far as we can ascertain,
neither the local authorities nor the
States attorney, who was applied to,
have taken any steps toward looking
into the matter. We believe the cause of
this woman's death should be discovered,
if possible, so that there will be no doubt
as to what it was. The doctors say that
Mrs. Barry died of acute peritonitis.
They fail, however, to state what we
think is the fact-that acute peritonitis
is often the immediate cause of death
when an abortion has been produced oil
attempted and the patient dies.
The maiden name of the dead woman
was Mary b. Clapp. Her parents home
is Colchester. Several years age she
married one William Barry. They dis
agreed and separated, and she had twice
attempted to obtain a divorce in the Chit
tenden county court, A daughter, the
result of the union, lives with her grand

who died at the Pierce House, in Middle

mors were collatcd by your Middlebury

through your columns. The largest por-
ton of these are utterly untrue. As
physicians we were called to see the lady
in question, and made rs thorough and
careful examination of the case as could
be done. As Il result of our examination,
we came to the honest and unbeatable
conclusion that our patient died of acute
periionitis. We can further conscien-
tiously state that we did not discover
anything in the case. or in any of it symp-
