Was He MuFdered!

Respecting the mysterious disappear
ance of X. H. HolbrOOk of Springfield,
VT, mentioned in last weeks paper, we
find the following additional particu-
lars: He left the Hamblin house, New
York, Thursday evening, Nov. Is,
about $50, for Springfield, Mass, since
which time nothing has been heard from
him. J. d. HolbroOk of Athol, Mass,
4 brother of the missing man, has been
looking into the case, but so far has
met no success. r. II. Holbrook is
known as a man of temperance habits,
and as he had $1,000 in his possession
at the time he left the New York hotel
it is feared that there has been foul
play. His plans, as he telegraphed
them to his wife in Vermont, were to
take the train at Forty street
New York depot at $40 o'clock and go
directly to Springfield, where he was to
have met friends. Holbrook has for
several years been connected with the
Springfield (Vt.) toy company, acting
as commercial traveller, and is well and
favorably known in his trade. He is
about forty -four years of age, and had
been two weeks in New York for bust
ness purposes. His family and friends,
knowing his personal habits, say there
can be no doubt that he has been muir
dered or that an accident of some sort
has happened to him. The missing
man is described as 5 feet ii inches in
height, erect in form, weighs about f7O
pounds, of light complexion, light hair

Hard boiled eggs as a commercial
speculation do not always turn out
profitable. Such, at least, was the ex-
perience of w. H. Ellis, who purchased
$50 boxes containing sixty dozen each,
OF 136 900 in all. Every egg was hard
boiled, and the lot comprised portion
of the cargo of the Dutch steamer
Heimdal. Among the cargo was a
quantity of Swedish matches which
took fire and impregnated the eggs
with sulphur, rendering them unsala-
BILE. Mr.. Ellis not knowing their con-
ditiOn purchased them, as they were,
from local firm for 5000. AS the bill
of sale, however, did not guarantee
their soundness it is extremely doubt
full whether Mr.. Ellis will get his mon
ey back. The moral of which is, first
chip your shell before buying eggs, es-
pecially when you contemplate buying
them by the thousand in a hard boiled
condition. But while eggs that are not
hard boiled continue to be moderately
cheap, turkeys are unreasOnably high

know that muffs are now worn very

of the approaching centennial of the

SOlOurner Truth, Il negro woman
famous for half century in the causes
of abolition and woman's rights, and
called by Mrs. Stowe the Libyan sibyl,
died Monday mt her home, Battle
Creek, Mich, at the age of 1l2 years.
She was African in blood and birth, a
slave in New York state, and suffered
the wrongs and violence of slavery as
deeply as any slave i'll the south ever
did. She bore children who were sold
away from her she endured the lash
and wore its scars to her dying day.
She very lately learned to read and
write, but she had always the gift of an
inspired eloquence that moved audi
ences when many Il cultured speaker
had failed to stir them. She was a
seer, and long before the civil war pre-
dicted its coming, its weary duration
and its great rcsult-the freedom of
the enslaved. The world, she said,
had been recreated since her birth, for
she remembered Il whole century, when
her race were cattle, and had lived
through all the growth ofpublic opinion
to the full recognition of the African
rs equal in rights with the Caucasian.
She spoke on the platform with Gar
rison, Phillips, Birney and RemOnd.
Her own life, the despoilment of her
family, the abuse of her womaqhood,
were her themes, and they were pre-
scented with a simple vigOr and I'M
adorned honesty that made a deep I'M
preston. Her later culture did not
wean her from the speech of the field
hand, with its marvellous readiness in
the use of scripture; and at times her
utterance was that of one inspired. 1t
is a familiar story how once in an anti
slavery meeting, when Frederick
Douglass had spoken almost in despair
over the dizziness of public opinion, the
antagonism of party and the drift OF
events against the cause of freedom,-
SoiOurner Truth arose, and lifting her
right hand straight up, said only,
"Frederick, is God dead ?"
This uneducated black woman never
doubted when almost everybody else
did doubt. She believed in the per
Sonal interference of God in the affairs
of men it was partly a race birth
right, no doubt, but much more per-
soual faith for she spoke as one who
was in the secret council of the AL
mighty, and declared what he would
permit, and what he would compel, as
if she verify knew it at first hand. 1t
seems scarcely possible to overstate the
impression which the sibyl of Battle
Creek left upon her hearers. Her
strange name was one of her own de-
vising, and is i'll itself witness to her
imaginative genius Springfield Re-

A terrible accident occurred FRIDAY
night, between Montpelier and North
field, resulting in the death of three per-
sons. VIM. Mcintosh and his wife of
Berlin started at about dusk to attend
a Grange meeting at GAINESVILLE, small
place between Montpelier and North
field. and on their way they overlook
Miss Mary House, a daughter of Rev.
Joseph House of Berlin, whom they
asked to ride. Only short distance
from where Miss House got in is the
Central Vermont railroad crossing, and
as they came up to it the Chicago ex-
press, which leaves Montpelier juno
ton ut p. m, and which was then
running ut the rate of about 80 miles
an hour, came into sight. The women
begged Mcintosh to wait till the train
passed before crossing track, but he
rushed upon the crossing, when the
engine struck them. Mrs. Mcintosh
was thrown several feet, terribly man
gled and instantly killed, and Miss
House was thrown more than forty feet
receiving injuries from which she dieC
i'll few hours. Mcintosh died Satur,
day morning. Mcintosh was a respect
able farmer and leaves two sons and {
daughter.
Another account says a man who
saw Mcintosh attempt to cross the
track rushed out and tried to preven
his crossing, nearly losing his own life
in doing so. All to no purpose. L
passes all understanding why people
will run such risks-why they vii
foolishly try to cross in advance of al
on-rushing train i'll spite of the immi
nent danger

The PierpOint Monument.

The Pierpoint monument is now in
place in the new cemetery, Vergennes,
in the center of the family plat. 1t is
simply plain, massive and solid, like
him whose name it bears, void of
wreath, flourish or emblem, it stands Il
monument of the taste of the Bar of
Vermont, by whom it was erected.
The monument is Barre granite, about
twenty-five feet high and consists of
two bases, die, cap, and spire. The
four sides of the die are finely polished.
On one side are the words:
John Pierpoint
Chief Justice of Vermont
died Jan. 1882
e. -.
1t was intended, probably, to discard
all punctuation, but the engraver
placed period after Jan. and Il. On
the opposite panel are the words:

The weight of the monument is be-
tween eight and nine tons and cost
about six hundred dollars Yer

Public Opinion.

The Waterman and two or three
other papers of the state, under the
guise of Il search for the ''strOn gest
and tittest" man, are throwing ont
feelers for the next governorship of
the state. The only crystalizing point
reached in numerous labOred editorials
seems to he that it would be IA proper
thing to re-elect Gov. Barstow, and
that it would be Sin the line of the
states best traditions could Hon.
Frederick Billings of Woodstock be
made governor "by acclamatiOn."-
BrattlebOrO PheniN.
While it is far too early to open the
gubernatOrial campaign we are much
pleased with these hearty endorse
ments of our tOwnsman, Hon Frederick
Billings. The state could do nothing
more to its credit than to elect him to
the office of governor, and Woodstock
would hold up its hand in that be
half Woodstock Standard.
Frederick Billings is one of Natures
nOblemen. Our state could not honor
and benefit itself more than by select
ing him us it's chief magistrate. His
name is rightly first in the thought of
thousands of the voters: and there
could be no more f ortunale augury for
the political future of our common
wealth, than to see him taken up and
placed ut its head us it were by gen eral
reclamation. With regard to the other
gentlemen mentioned, the suggestion
that ''statute of limitations" has be-
gan to run in the case of DIR. Nichols
will hardly find general acquiesence
among his many friends. He holds an
important and excellent state office,
which he has hitherto preferred, and
may well still prefer to the more prom
inent and more expensive office of
governor. If such is his preference, it
will undoubtedly be respected. Lieut..
Governor Pingree is by no means
man of negative qualities-he has pos
tive qualifications of high order

The Leading Paper.

An advertisement of the New York
Tribune appears in another column.
The Tribune is the leading republican
journal of the United States, and read
ers of both parties will find it as good
an exponent of republican opinion as
they can take during the Presidential
year. The Tribune is a good news
paper, and it's Weekly and Semi
Weekly editions are especially adapted
for reading in regions where farming
is the predominant interest. The
Agricultural department, the Home
interests, the Book reviews, the Politi-
cal news, the foreign letters of The
Tribune are all famous. Mr.. Greeley
was personally fond of farming, and
he made The Tribune the greatest
farmers paper in the country. The
Tribune retains the plan of offering a
few books of the highest class as pre-
miums for clubs of subscribers. We
notice that this year, there are offered
the largest and best Atlas of the World,
a book for musicians, Ridpath's enter
taing history of the United States, the
two great Unabridged Dictionaries of
Webster and Worcester, and that
valuable illustrated family work,

Don't Like the south.

Dr. A. B. Smith, who formerly re
sided in Chelsea, but year ago re-
moved to StratfiOrd, left the latter place
Oct. Odd, with his wife and babe after
selling out all his property and practice
and started for New Orleans, La, in
tending to finally settle in Birmingham,
Alabama, where A. S. Austin, Esq,
had removed from Chelsea in De
cember, 1882. Tuesday evening, the
Goth inst, DR.. Smith and family re-
turned to Chelsea satisfied from inves-
LEGATION of Southern fare to spend their
lives in New England home. The
doctor gives anything but u glowing
picture of lis short experience. The
cooking he describes as peculiarly I'M
wholesome, done of course by native
black wenches. The water, though
drawn from a well twenty five feet
deep, luke-warm and tasting similar to
what that of our frog ponds would
when dipped out in hot July midday
and tinctured with soda but looking
far more repulsive. The real comforts,
however, of living South, he portrays
to be cockrOaches. fleas and bed-bugs
which exist in an abundance. The
worthy doctor returns to renew his
former Chelsea practice from which his
old patients unwillingly released him.

The ceremonies of Evacuation day
at New York passed off well on Mon
day, notwithstanding a heavy rain.
The marching was heroically done by
the militia, the fremen and various

was the gathering to hear the grafton

only talk to affect the coming presi-

points to determined effort in several
of the southern states not to allow col
