by his brother, Theophilus Circuit of
Newport, and Judge Storrs, the two
latter speaking with special reference
to the State election, each emphasiz-
ing the necessity of having full vote

A DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.

Some time during Monday night the
Blaine and Logan flag was cut down
and ill treated. torn and disfgured,
and left in the dirt Of the streets. A
portion of tie flag was torn off and
carried away by the miscreants. 1t is
the first time that the old flag has been
outraged in this town. The act is
condemned by all good citizens, ire
spective of party. Efforts will be made
to bring the guilty ones to justice.
The indignation felt is intense. The
torn and tattered banner was at once
raised again and there it shall hang,
and speak for justice and liberty.

particular days in the forty, and Easter Sun
day ia now the mos generally observed Of
any of the great church festival days. The
Lenten season is intended as holy season Of
fasting and closer attention to the religious
duties of life, in conmemoration OF the fast
ing Of the Saviour in the wilderness. The
name is derived from the Saxon word lcng
or spring, from the time Of the year in which
comes the observance. The custom is of
great antiquity, for from the first ages Of
Christianity il has been usual to set aside
some time for humiliation and special exer-
cises before Easter. Ash Wednesday is
given as a name TO the first day of Lent from
the Roman Catholic church custom of strew-
ing ashes upon the head as a sign OF peni-
tence. The ashes are first consecrated upon
the altar, then sprnkled with holy water,
aud afterwards strewed upon the heads of
the priests and the assembled people, the
officiating priest repeating the words RE
member that thou art dust, and shalt return
to dust" The ceremony is said to have
been introduced into the church by Pope
Gregory the Great. Shrove Tuesday, the
day preceding Ash Wednesday, is SO called
because the Roman church enjJins confess
sion to be made on that day IN preparation
for the lenten season.

The Paris Police watching Supposed
Irish SChemers.

PARIS, Feb. 27.-The police here are CO n
vinced that the Irish party made Paris the
headquarters in Europe for the preparation
of their dynamite schemes. Inspector Moscr,
acting under the instructions of the British
home secretary, is watching the movements
of suspected Irlshmen. They have already
traced the arrival of five transfers of men be-
longing to an active section Of dyna-
mitcrs who have been told off for the next
attempts. One of them is from Buffalo,
N. y, one from Paterson, N. j., one from
Brooklyn, N. Y, and two from Texas.
They are believed TO be the pupils Of Meier
off. The other Irishmen under watch are
Cornelius Culimorc, Eugene Davis, and
Casey, and it is believed the dynamite will
be made at MontrOugc. The supposed man
uiacturer registered as an authorized chem
ical student, a measure under which the au-
thorization is necessary to be confined to
making dynamite. The instructor is be
lieved to be man named Brady, under the
alias of king The brotherhood meet in

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
A sleigh Full OF Children ripped over
Tho Driver Terribly Hurt.

An accident by which Mr.. Sidney E. john
son suffered serious and perhaps fatal in-
jures and by which the lives and limbs OF
more than score of children were leopard
lied, happened in this city at noon Tuesday.
Some Wnooski school children, with their
teacher, the party numbering in oil twenty
five or thirty souls, were enjoying ride in a
big sleigh drawn by four horses and driven
by MIR. johnson. They came to this city
and were turning from Winooski avenue in
to College street, going up the hill. when the
accident happened. In turning the corner
the sleigh slued nearly across the road land
the outside runner ut the rear broke down,
the sleigh tipping over. Mr.. johnson chung
to the reins, apparently, and was pulled over
the dashboard and fell violently to the ground,
striking upon his head. The conclusion
knocked him scnseless and he was taken
into Mr.. G. p. Smiths store, where DIR.
Burdck of Winooski attended him. When
the sleigh tipped over all the children were
thrown out, but fortunately they escaped
without any serious damage. One lad was
considerably cut and bruised about the face
but luckily his injuries, though severe, are
by no means serious. Several others were
more or less bruised, but the large majority
suffered nothing OF more consequence than a
violent fright The horses, it should be said,
were going at a gait BY no means rapid at
the time Of accident.
Mr.. johnson was conveyed to the Mary
Fletcher Hospital as soon as possible. At
the moment of writing he had not recovered
consciousness and the physicians had not de-
termincd the extent OF his injuries. 1t is
feared, however, that his skull is fractured
aud that he will not survive. Mr.. johnson
is member of the well-known livery firm
of johnson & Shipman, Winooski. He Is a
very pleasant, trustworthy and popular young
man, and many friends will deplore his sad
fate. He is perhaps thirty years OF age
and is unmarried.
At latest accounts Mr. Sidney E. Johnson's
condition had somewhat improved and
hopes of his recovery were entertained.
