The Windsor "Molly Maguires" ar
rived at the hotel, kept by William r
Hewitt, Monday afternoon, after
three days examination before JUS
tce in Windsor, were bound up to thu
county court. The bonds are heavy
the amount and names are given in an
other column by our correspondent
There was quite crowd at the Jail tc
see them on their arrival. All were
disappointed in their looks-six clean
er boys could not be picked in any
town. Pity they could not have be-
haved as well as they looked. Field is
mulatto, and is said to lie IL son of
Mrs. Bowen of Barnard, who showed
too much love for Il peddler up there,
the other day, and brought a sea of
trouble upon herself in consequence.
Rochester's Othello now languishes
in Jail here under 500 bonds, and the
fair Desdemonia is at her father
house in Rochester. Whether the old
man was addressed as lago addressed
Brobantio, father of Desdemonia, we
know not; anyway he started in hot
haste after the pair, and captured them
at Willsboro, Essex Co., N. Y. The
mulatto, John Edwards, is about 80
years old, and Kitty Marsh, the daugh-
ter of Charles Marsh, is in her 18th
year, and says she is perfectly willing
to take him for "better or worse"
and that he has been kinder to her
than her own folks, especially her
step-mother. We suppose the indict-
mcnt was found on taking the horses
which he was using. Yet it is said
that he had an interest in them. 1t
cannot be called case of abduction,
as the girl was perfectly willing, and
made all necessary preparations for the
journey. 1t is not very plain to us
now how they can legally hold the col
ored party.
The pastor of the Universalist
church will exchange with Rev. c. +.
Churchill of Hartland on next Sunday.
Mrs. Lizzie Manchester will speak
at the Town Hall next Sunday, fore
noon and afternoon. Free to all.
5. w. Raymond, Esq, Of Ottawa,
ILL.,, who went west long before Horace
Greeley gave his advice-"Go west,
young mainland who never forgets
his friends in old Vermont, sent wild
turkey to Landlord Fairbanks of the
Eagle Hotel last week, with the re-
quest that it be served up on his ia
bles, on the 1902 anniversary of the in
dependence of Vermont, and that he
invite few of his (Raymond's) pecu-
liar friends to partake. Consequently,
on Tuesday, at half past twelve O'Clock
it was served up with the usual elk
ings" and side dishes, in Mrs. Fair
banks best style, which is needless to
gay is the very best in the state,
and all pronounced it superb"
Among the venerable invited guests
present were the old stage-man, Will
lam Billings and John D. Powers. Mr..
Billings exhibited an elegant and cost
ly cane, present from Mr.. Raymond
some time since also, a cigar, present.
ed to him by Hon. Frederick Billings
to remember his brother Edward by,
80 years ago. Mr.. Powers gave some
"reminiscences of the Raymond family,
and all related some anecdotes, and on
the whole it was a very pleasant occa-
sion. Mr.. Raymond, in letter written
to Mr.. Fairbanks, said the turkey was
two years old, and weighed % pounds
when shot, and the first killed in that
place for ten years, although they are
getting more plenty now on the rivers
OF the state. Mr.. Fairbanks had the
bird skinned and is preserving it. 1t
is the handsomest plumage we ever
saw. 1t represents all the colors of

n beauty. The meat was much like
the common turkey, more tender we
should think, but perhaps this was ow-
ing to the superior cookery.
Cold /! J-e-r-u-s-a-l-e-m! A ther-
mometer as long as your arm was of
no account Friday morning. Ours
reached 80 degrees below zero. Mrs.
Lester Miller's and Mr.. Doton's went
us better. Mrs, Miller's registered
80 and Mr.. Doton's 32. Saturday 20.
Sunday morning we had a bit of a
thaw, but it soon took cold, and zero
weather set in. This morning WED
nesday) it was 10 below.
To our many friends who have so
kindly and bountifully remembered us
in our need, we wish to return heart
felt thanks. The gift was the more
acceptable and valued because of being
so entirely unexpected.
