TIRED OF LIFE.
sUICIDE~oF AN AGED ESSEN JUNCTION
MAN HERE, WEDNESDAY.

MAN HERE, WEDNESDAY. II
John Williams of Essex junction, aged
not far from 20 years, committed suicide
at an early hour Wednesday morning at
the house of A. w. Carey, Court street.
Williams was quite an infirm old man
and seemed to be badly shattered men-
ally and physically. He appeared in
town, foot-sore and weary, Monday after
noon, and said he was going to Rutland.
Mr.. Carey, who employed him 10 years
ago when he lived in Essex, asked Will
lams to stay with him a few days and
rest before proceeding on his journey.
Williams wandered about town all day
Tuesday. 1t appeared that he had had a
controversy with his wife, which was the
cause of his leaving home. He had
written her, he said, asking if he might
come back, and expected an answer'here.
Tuesday evening he called at the post
Office twice and inquired each time when
the mail would come from Essex June
ton. Then he bought, at the Hanaford
drug store, an ounce of laudnum with
with money Mr.. Carey had given him.
Returning to Mr.. Carey's he retired
Carey was awakened by Williams heavy
breathing and went into the room where
he slept. He seemed to be dreaming, and
Mr.. Carey shook and partly aroused him.
and then, as he was apparently
all right, Mr.. Carey went back to bed
In a few minutes, however, Mr. Carey
heard the same noise again. This time
he lighted lamp, discovered the part-
ally-emptied bottle of laudanum and at
once saw what was the trouble. DR..
Sutton was immediately sent for, but
the old man was then beyond help.
The remains were cared for by Under
taker Pinney and the town authorities of
Essex notified. The poormaster of that
town came down Wednesday night and
took the body home with him yesterday
morning. Among the documents found
on the suicides body was this:
MIDDLEBURY, Oct. 16, 1888.
TO all whom it may concern: Know
that | have committed suicide. | have
no way to earn my living, while the roar
in my head makes life positive burden
| never could earn my living.-Place Is
the cause of the roar. He threw me
down. He tore at my throat like bull
dog and roared like bull. l never saw
a bulldog display greater ferocity while
he was pounding me than he did. May
God have mercy on my soul and my peor
lame Alma. II

HE nth REGIMENT REUNION

The surviving members of this reSi-
nent met for their annual reunion at
Montpelier on Thursday of last week.
The principal address at the campfire in
the evening was made by Col. l.. E..
Knapp of Middlebury. The Daily Jour
nal says:
The chairman then introduced Colonel
Lyman f. Knapp, who related many in
cdents in which this regiment had stood
its ground and borne the shock of battle
almost alone where others had been put
to flight. He said that there was no war
correspondent at hand to make a report
of Griffin's brilliant charge at Spottsyl-
yania Courthouse, but that in his opin-
ion this achievement deserved to be en-
rolled among the brilliant exploits of
history. The daily diet of the regiment
was, the colonel said, fighting for
breakfast, skirmishing for dinner and a
pitched-batte for supper, with an occa-
sional variation of long march for
breakfast. The colonel also related nu-
merous anecdotes of the camp life of the
regiment and incidents connected with
various engagements ia which the regi-
medt figured with honor. The horrors
of the assault on Petersburg, in which
the regiment lost five of its eight COM
missioned officers and was almost broken

facturiug interests of the State. If it
passes and the right sort of men are
made commissioners the effect cannot
but be good.
The biennial effort is making at Mont
pelier to pass law which shall do away
with the injustice wrought by the double
taxation of mortgaged real estate. The
principle sought to be established is un-
questlonably right, and those who have
looked into the subject say there is no
great difficulty in carrying it into prac-
tice.
Here is the opinion of that veteran
tariff-framer, Senator Morrill,, on the
Senate tariff bill: SIN the Senate bill
proper protection is continued 10 all
branches of American industry, and the
measure is much more favorable to the
agricultural interests of the country than
the Mills bill. The passage of the Senate
measure will save the farmers on our
northern frontier from Canadian compe-
tition which is threatened in the Mills
bill.
When the South ceases to treat Repub-
licanism as a crime within its borders {;
when it ceases to kill or count out Repub-
lican voters, it will he time to talk about
the "fraternal regard of the once war;
ring sections" but until that time comes
the presence of few confederates at
Union soldiers funeral or the resump-
tion of the old soldier habit of swapping
whisky for tobacco on the battlefield of
Gettysburg is very small plaster for
very big wound Portland Oregonian.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Sixty-three persons were killed and
many Others wounded by the railroad
accident in Pennsylvania last week.
Gen. Joel b. Erhardt, Vermonter and
a graduate of the university at Burling-
ton, is the Republican candidate for may
or of New York city.
The amount of the corporation taxes
paid into the State treasury for the year
ending Dec. 81, 1887, was $23s, ,9ss.06. OF
this sum the railroads paid Sll0,0ls.O9.
A picturesque character is taken away
in the death, at Chicago, of Hon. John
Wentworth, known the country over as
"Long john" He was native of New
Hampshire.
