A Brave Naval Officer.

The crew of the United States steam
er Powhatan, says the New York Herald,
was being exercised recently while she
was lying off Port au Prince. and during
the exercises petty officer fell from the
yards. His body struck one of the guns
and shot through the portfolio into the
sea. The Quartermaster. who was on
deck at the time, Immediately sprang
overheard and brought the body along
side. 1t was hauled up, but the
poor petty officer was found to be
dead, the shock of the fall on the deck
having evidently killed him before the
body fell into the water.
The Captain of the vessel which ar
rived from Port au Prince yesterday, in
describing what he had heard concern
ing the sad accident, says that the
Quartermaster was sent for by the Com
mander of the Powhatan after the body
of the petty officer had been taken out
of the water, and that a cOllOquy, SUBJ
stantially as follows took place:
..Do you know the risk you ran in
jumping overboard?" the Commander
asked.
''But little FISK, SIT, L tnlnk' Ill d
good swimmer"
.'But did you know that the vessel has
been all day surrounded by sharks?'
81 did, sir
'sAnd yet you went overboard?'
81 thought l might save life, sir. "
The report of the Commander of the
Powhatan will no doubt have an honor
able mention of the brave Quarter
master The merchant Captain who re-
ports the incidents narrated above adds
that the man who was killed was buried
with military honors, the remains being
escorted to the cemetery by a guard OF
marines, and the Catholic Bishop and
his assistants being in attendance in
their robes of office. The name OF the
dead man was not ascertained by the
merchant Captain.

counsel are ex-Judge Dunton Of Rutland and
H. II. Hard Of Burlington. II is Understood
that a motion will be made for continuance
by Haven. Wednesday morning the indict-
mont against Howe were called up aud mo
ton to continue till the March term was
made but the court set the case for trial next
Monday.
Among the indictments found by Rut.
land grand jury at the present term are three
for perjury in falsely swearing to tax invento-
ries, against Martin Farrell OF Clarendon
Pixley Bush Of Brandon and David Il. Rowell
Of Chittenden. Rowell has always had good
deal Of trouble with his taxes The first year
in which sworn inventories we're required the
listers were dissatisfied with his list and doub-
led it. Shortly after this a number OF cattle
belonging to William Mullin, one of the list
ere, were poisoned with Paris green mixed
with salt and died. Rowell was indicted for
this crime two years ago but the case has new
or been tried. Mullin also brought a suit for
private damages against him and in a jury
trial recovered the value of the COWS. The
present indictment for perjury is founded on
the tax inventory Of 1882. The grand jury
adjourned without indictng Haven for the al
legged embezzlement of $40, 600 from the Rut-
land rairoad-the money that Page and his
friends charge Haven with stealing, and that
Haven persists in saying Page stole If any
body.-On Wednesday demurrers to the Row
ell and Farrell indictments were sustained on
the ground that the law in force when the in
ventories were made was repealed by the
amendatory act passed afterward by the Leg
islature of 1882. This defence cannot be avail
able to Bush of Brandon, because the indict
ment against him Is based on the tax list of

EBwALD-THE EMPEROR WILLIAMS SPEECH
Great crowds gathered at Niederwald, Ger

erected as a memorial of the German victory

Hamburg Bremen, Lubbock and nearly every
prominent person connected with the militia
ry and civil government were present All
the German sovereigns and princes assem-
bled before the monument, and the ceremo-
MES proceeded in accordance with the pro.
gramme. The villages and castles along the
Rhine were illuminated in the evening, and
bonhres and blue lights we're burned on ell
the heights. The Niederwald on which the
monument is erected, is over 700 feet high,
and the spot chosen overlooks one Of the
most beautiful points on the everywhere
the troops mached past into the war, and
where King William, returning from France,
'saluted the Rhine for the first time as Kai-
SER" The monument attains the height of
40 feet. The statue OF Germania, which
surmounts the substructure, is an imposing
figure 80 feet high. The total cost OF the
monument was over 81 900, 600 marks. The
inscription upon it says 'In memory of the
unanimous and victorious rising of the Ger

WINDHAM COUNTY COURT

In the case of ~ f. Bryant Us. Central
Vermont Railroad Company the jury return
ed verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of
$777.
Horace French rs. Wales H. Willard -
The controversy in this case was about tbs
title to a strip of land, conceded to be worth
in the vicinity of four dollars. The record
title was shown to be in the defendant and his
grantors, but it appeared that the plaintiff had
gained title thereto by adverse occupancy.
The defendant claimed and his evidence
showed, that while the parties were in con.
troversy in respect to their boundary line, and
each claiming to own the land in dispute, an
agreement was made between them by which
the line WAS established, and under which ar
rangement the parties mutually built fence.
A few weeks after the com pletion of the fence
the plaintiff repudiated the agreement, re-
moved the fence aud reasserted his claim.
Counsel for Willard claimed that the establish
ment of the line and the acquiescence by the
plaintiff thereto in the building of the fence
was conclusive upon him and that he could
not now be permitted in law to set up a claim
to the land The court held the agreement in
reference to the line to constitute no defence !;
that the same was simply a verbal agreement
and could be revoked by the owner Of the
land at any time within fifteen years. There
upon cOunbel agreed tnhl tnere was no ques-
ton for the jury and verdict was directed for
plaintiff. Damages 81,

Vermont PensIoners,

The first volume Of the list of United
States pensioners was published last week
at Washington. The pensioners from Yer
mont are included in it aud number over four
thousand who receive annually about $500,
600 from the United States treasury. On the
3Oth of June last there were pending in the
pension office 3,644 applications from Yer
mont, 2,5l7 Of which were filed prior to Ju-
ly l, 1880, and will be entitled to arrears
when the pensions are granted. All the re-
naming cases entitled to arrears are doubtful
ones. The commissioner of pensions says
he has settled and paid all those claims where
the records and evidence clearly showed the
claimants right to a pension. He estimates,
however, that one-half of the arrears claims
now pending will be granted which will give
Vermont claimants 81, 500, 900 on the first
payment Of pension. Vermont furnished
10000 soldiers for the suppression Of the re-
bellion. The number Of pensioners on the
roll and the number Of applicants TO be
placed upon the pension roll, including the
heirs of the soldiers, is only one-fourth of
the whole number of soldiers.

both in the amount canned and the
variety Of articles, There are factories not
only for canning corn, but also sucootash
pumpkins, squash, tomatoes, apples, raspber-
ries, and other fruit, mackerel, Holsters and
sardines. This industry started in 1886 with
the canning of corn and has developed so that
now there are few towns in the state that do
not in some way or another derive some ben
eft from il. Last year about ~ 600 600 cans
of sweet corn were put up, and the factories
in several localities would have put up third

drought Corn raised for canning purposes
pays from $40 to 800 per acre, and the
amount of money distributed smong the far
