A large number of people along
the line of the Passumpsic road wit
messed the presentation of the operas
of "Mascot" and "Iolanthe" at New
port and Bay View park last week.
Saturday there was an immense crowd,
there being an excursion from Mont
pelier. Monday evening "Iolanthe"
was given by the same company at
the new hall ut Lyndonville, which
has better stage facilities than the
opera house at Newport, and Ill tick
cts were sold from this place. The
operate festivals given each year,
through the enterprise of the manage
ment of the Passumpsic road, are
much appreciated by those who have
not the time and means to visit the
city.

Is minutes past o'clock he said lie
was done for the present, but that he
didn't want Mr.. Mason to leave the
city yet rs she should want him on the
stand again"
The defense is greatly excited over
what Mason had sworn to and will
make efforts to assail his standing; but
the prosecution say it will be impossible
TO hurt the young mans reputation, as
they have letters vouching for him as
an honorable man.
The lawyers spent all the forenoon
wrangling over the admission of the
testimony of Richard Crouch, a
cousin of the late Jacob ID.
Crouch, and who resides on farm
which adjoins Dan Holcomb's. The
witness, in company with another
person, found some shells of 38 calibre
in Dan Holcomb's wood s, the discovery
being made in pursuance of search to
discover the cause of pistol firing heard
by witness, Lrior 10 the murders.
All the counsel took hand in the
arguments, the prosecution making the
most determined effort they have yet
made to have this class of testimony
admitted, and the defense as strongly
objected. Both Gov. Blair and Prose-
cutor Gibson made powerful speeches,
and the court took till afternoon to con-
slider. The attorneys for the people
said they could offer no further testi-
mony that day il this was ruled out.
Judge Gridley finally admitted the
disputed testimony, which greatly
pleases the prosecution, as they claim
the testimony would help them.

In the adjoining townships of Avon
and Canton, o., it has been the custom
for several years to pay n bounty of so
cents each for all woodchucks killed.
The Avon selectmeo required the tail
as voucher, and by the Canton select
men the ears were taken as proof. Re
Gently it was discovered that the num-
Der of animals on which the two towns
paid bounty was precisely the same.
Then il dawned on the two hoBorable
bodies that the unprincipled boy hunt
ers of the two towns had collected
cents from each town whenever they
jagged a ground hog. Whereupon the
selectmen of both towns, with great
dignity, decided to pay no more boun-
ties for woodchuoks.

A New Financial scheme.

New Egyptian financial proposals have been
seut to the powers Interested. Goschep, once
English special commissioner to CONSTANT
nople, assisted Gladstone and Granville 10
Draw up scheme. Gladstone at the outset
favored the adoption of Lord Northbrook's
propositions, which were submitted to the
ministers soon after his return from Egypt,
but the opposition shown thereto by one sec
tion OF the Cabinet, which threatened the dis
rnption of the ministry, caused their rejection.
The scheme, which has been adopted by the
Cabinet. insists upon the reduction of the in
terest of the debt publ Ole and the interest
UPON the shares OF the 5uez canal held by
English stockholders. Gladstone has re-
quessei Goschen to go as special envoy to the
governments at Paris, Berlin and Vienna to
support the measure at those courts.
The Morning Post says that the proposals
for the settlement Of the Egyptian debt which
have been sent BY the English Cabinet to the
powers are; First, offer TO raise a loan Of
45,O00,0OO sterling, IN be guaranteed by Egg
land second, issue f5,0Oo,00O preferred stock,

the interest on the debt puolique To one-half

be acceptable to the English bondholders, but

A man was hung in Texas last week
for stealing rope. He pleaded not
guilty, stating that he had merely pick
ed up the rope and had not noticed the
horse tied TO the other end Of it, when
he was seized by the vigilants. The
jury brought in verdict of "more
rope" and the Judge remarked as he
kicked the barrel from under the pris-
oner, that if he had shot the first
man who seized him, and offered some
show of resistance, it would have been
different, but that his ready surrender
when surrounded stamped him as a
villain capable of such an act, and was
therefore conclusive evidence of his
guilt
