HILLsBoRo, H.. Dec. ~. 2.-Matters are
Bond case. The entire day yesterday Was
occupied in getting eight jurymen. This
forenoon none have been taken, but three
are three out OF q panel Of four who will pro.
baby be accepted, making eleven. II Is
thought the entire Jury will be obtained BY

evidence will begin. The crowd 10 town is
increasing every day, and the various pha.
ses of the case afford all the topics OF con.
versation.
MISS EMMA BOND
made her first appearnce In public this
morning about 9l80 O'Clock. There was u
"hush, " followed by stir and autter, as
Miss Bond, accompanied BY her mother and
married sister, made her appearance from
the Sherff's room into the court room. Ey.
cry one was on tip-toe with excitement,
anxious to get glimpse Of the young lady.
A few minutes after her entrance very
sensational and impressive scene occurred.
John c. Montgomery was sitting In posi-.
ton where be was shielded by bis counsel
from Miss Bonds view. Suddenly the
counsel moved and left him
EXPOSED TO HER FREE GAZE.
1t was noticed that his eyes lowered. He
,rembIed and attempted to raise his hat to
his features, but too late. The sight Of th {
! face and features Of this man, whom she
believes to have done her so terrible q
wrong, utterly prostrated her and she went
Into dead faint. and amid murmurs OF
sympathy she was carried BY her friend 8
from the courtroom and did not resppear. I.
She is

Ated TO attract much sympathy for her. She
has not been we'll the past two days and 1t
Was only taa- morning that she felt like
being out OF Oed.

The Engagement Ring.


About the happiest day in the life
of young lady is the day upon which
she receives her engagement-ring.
She will hold her hand up and look
at the ring from all points and admire
1t, and assures Adolphus that he Is
just too awful nice for giving it to her.
And she always wears it that day, no
matter what happens. If the ring is
too large for her she rams bits of wood
under it, just as the boy puts branch
es of trees and other things under his
skate-straps to keep his skates on.
And after she gets it fixed to suit her
she starts out to call on her friends.
They all know before she arrives that
she has received a ring, and are on
the qui vive. They either tell her
that is is very pretty or else they pre-
tend not to notice it at all, In either Of
which cases the recipient of the ring
is delighted beyond description. Be
cause if they compliment her she
thinks that they are affecting an in
difference to her good luck that they
do not feel, and that they viii tear
her TO pieces after her departure And
If they don't say a word or notice the
ring, thu young lady knows that they
are wild with envy, and would give
their ears to be IN her place. And she
is glad to think that she has destroy

An Early Marriage.
Notes and Queries.

Lady Sarah Cadogan. daughter OF
William, first Earl Cadogan, was mar
ried ut the age of u to Charles, second
Duke of Richmond, aged is. 1t is said
that this marriage was bargain to
cancel a gambling debt between their
parents, Lady Sarah being a coheir-
ess. The young Lord March was
brought from college and the little
lady from her nursery for the cere-
luony, which took place at The Hague.
The bride was amazed and silent but
the husband exclaimed: Surely YOU
are not going to marry me to that
dowdy," Married, however, he was,
and his tutor then took him off to the
continent and the bride went back to
her mother. Three years after Lord
March returned from his travels, but.
having such a disagreeable recoliec-
ton of his wife, was in no hurry to
join her and went the first evening to
the theatre There he saw lady so
beautiful that he asked who she was.
THE reigning toast-Lady March, y
was the answer he got. He FASTENED
TO claim her, and their lifelong affec-
ton for each other is much comment
ed upon by contemporaneous writers
indeed, it was said that the duch-
ess, who only survived year, died q
grief.

Deserted Farms in Vermont
Rutland Herald

Vermont fairs show better butter
and cheese, better cattle and sheep
than they did forty years ago, but the
farmers teams do not stand for as
good horse-stock as they did then;
there are fewer farms we suspect in
Vermont: there are as many deserted
farms and decayed towns in Southern
Vermont to-day as there ever were in
our history at least that is the testi-
mony given us by very intelligent
farm bred lawyer who has recently
personally visited the towns that
touch either side of the Green Mount
aims from the Massachusetts, line to
Addison county. In Stratton, where
Webster in 1910 addressed the great
Wing mass-meeting, the farm house
where Webster spent the night is a
ruin and the farm deserted. In the
w oodland yol meet the ruins of old
fOur-foOt stonewalls; in Somerset you
find in the forest stone walls and the
remains of an old highway the decay
ing abutments of former bridge
across the stream are all that remain
of the civilization that was once re
presented by a church, a grist-mill
and country store. The woodland
has so encroached upon these deserted
farms that our friends is confident
there is more woodland to-day in the
mountain towns of Vermont than
there has been at any time during the
last forty years. In the old counties
of Bennington, Windham, Windsor
and Rutland our informant found, he
assures us, plenty of evidence of
deserted farms and decaying towns
along either side of the mountain
range, and these deserted farms are
not being re-occupied by any return
ing wanderer, although most of these
towns are places of much natural
beauty and atractiveness. Among
those towns are Readsboro, Somerset,
Searsburgh, Sunderland, Wardsboro,
Poru, Jamaica, Landgrove, Weston,
Plymouth, SALISBURY, Winall and
several mountain towns in Rutland
county. Our friend thinks that
towns touching the mountains on
either side have been permanently
deserted. The future of Vermont, if
she is to increase henceforth largely
in wealth and population, lies in
manufactures, not enlarged agricul-
ture, and this is true, not only of
Vermont, but of all New England.

GOLD BY THE TON.
The Precious Metal in LuInps as
Heavy as u strong Man Can Lift.
From the Amador Dispatch.

From the Amadpr Dispatch,
One of the richest strikes known in
the mining history of California was
made three miles south of this place
last Saturday. A pocket of quartz of
almost unparalleled richnesS,was found
less than one hundred feet from
the surface, in which was contained
from $75, 600 10 500, 000, and about
two to..S III quantity Much of this
might be termed chunckS of gold in
stead of gold bearing quartz. Some
of these pieces of solid gold were about
as heavy as a man could lift from the
ground. The largest piece was an
oval, sixteen by twenty-five inches,
and six or seven inches thick. This
gold is almost black and of the same
character as the former rich strikes
found in the same mine. We have
no doubt that this is the richest find
of gold ever known in the United
States at one time.
During Friday ton of this gold
freightcd metal was taken out. 1t is
not SO rich as the gold streak taken
out some time ago, but there is vastly
more of it. The value of this bonanza
is estimated ut from S50, 600 to S100
coo. The ledge is five feet wide, and
the whole face of it was held together,
as 1t were, by spikes of solid gold,
Although 5000 pounds have been
taken from this bunch of ore, and the
end is not yet The very rich streak
from which this mass of tree gold has
been taken ranges from an inch or so
up to twenty inches in width. The
previous seam varied from the thick,
ness of knife blade to three inches.
