honorary medal recently given to Major

awarded him, as there stated for his per

April ,, 1863 This charge was led by the
old Vermont brigade, and the 9TH Vermont
was in the first line of the brigade, and in
the charge Capt. Gould was far in advance
of his command. He was the first mau of
the sixth army corps who mounted the en-
emy's works ON that memorable morning
As he went over the parapet he received IA
bayonet thrust through the face, killing
with his sword the man who gave him the
wound. He afterward received "A sword
cut in the head and bayonet thrust down
the neck which dangerously injured his
spinal column. He was all the while un
dergoing a battery of clubbed muskets and
was only saved from death by the appear
ance of his comrades ON the sclne. lie
was only 10 years old at the time, and it
was for this conspicuous act of galautry
that he was breveted major and has now
been presented with the medal Of honor
authorized by Congress in such cases In
the letter accompanying the medal Gen
Grant, acting secretary of war, says :;
This comes to you unsolicited 1t is the
voluntary act of the government you
fought to preserve, and a just, though tar
dy, recognition of your gallant and distin-
guished conduct on that occasion"

Later accounts of the execution Of the
New York murderer Kemmer do not make
the scene so dreadful as the reporters and
electric light companies would have us be
leve. The doctors are agreed that the
death was painless one. DR.. Lewis Balch
of Albany, executive officer of the state
board of health who WAS one of the wit
nesses of the execution and has ia
vored hanging rather than death by elec
tricity, says that having seen the absolute
certainty, rapidity and painlessness with
which death can be caused by electricity,
my opinion has changed to favor that mode
of legal execution DR.. A F. Southwick
of Buffalo. father of the law which was
put to the test at Auburn, denounces the
sensationalism of the reporters, and de-
clares that "a party of ladies could sit in
room where an execution of this kind was
going on and not see anything repulsive
whatever y he regards the execution IA
success, and says that "Kemmler never
knew what happened to him. and died in
stantly without pain Thomas A. Edison
says that the application of electricity to the
head was mistake it should have been
made through the hands and arms. This
would pass tine charge through the heart
and cause instant death.

senator Rdmund- on the Maple sugar
BOUNTY,


At a meeting Of the Vermont board of
trade at Burlington last week an interest
ing and significant letter from Senator
Edmunds on the proposed maple sugar
bounty was read. 1t was called out by the
fact that a number Of maple sugar samples
recently analyzed by Prof. Cooke of the
experiment station were not up to the re
quirement in saccharine matter Secretary
Ferguson Of the board of trade sent several
of these samples to Senator Edmunds, with
Prof. Cookies notes. and received this
reply:
81 am afraid from what [ have heard
since | wrote you last, that the committee
VIII not favor giving bounty on syrup of
any kind | think this is wrong, as they
put all sorts of fluid sugars from abroad on
the free list. 1t may be that we shall not
take the duty off of sugar, and shall not
have any bounty at ALL As to the bounty
on dry sugar, | greatly doubt whether the
standard of saccharine matter can he
lowered below what it is in the bill. There
is no trouble in making sugar up to 50. and
the policy is, and must be- not to pay "A
bounty on all the sugar that is contained in
any sort of stuff that may he made. but a
bounty for the manufacture Of good sugar
that contains in pound weight that per
centage of saccharine matter to all there is
in pound. The government cannot pay
bounty on water, but merely upon sac
charine matter made in such a way as tn
tend to the public advantage and to be up
to a certain standard of excellence.
At the rate the appropriations have been
made and are making, do not see how we
can spare the duty on sugar and very

free list will 20 any appreciable extent ben

ingmen.

In answer to some slurring remarks hv
Senator Butler of South Carolina on the
condition of the New England laborer in
the Senate the other day, Senator Edmunds
declared that there is no place on the face
of the globe, not even in South Carolina.
where the condition of the laboring man is
better than, if it he as good as, it is in the
northwest part of New England Taking
a broader view of the situation he said
when you compare the man who works
in the shop at Rutland or Burlington or St
Adams, or any of the towns where manu-
featuring is going on land there are hun
dreds of them, great and SMALL. with the
man who in any other country on the face
OF the globe is engaged in the same pursuit
or similar pursuits, the situation of the
American citizen in that state is not only
tenfold but fiftyfold better than that of his
fellow man who is working either in Ger
many or France or England or elsewhere
And state that, if he is sober and lndustr-
Gus, as % per cent of them are. he gains
every year-with his children going to
school and going to church, clean and well
fed and with comfortable home-he gains
in the savings bank every year something
as the result of his years labor"
Mr.. Edmunds prefaced his remarks with
the statement that he was speaking only
for that part of New England with which
he was personally familiar, but what he
said is true of New England as a whole

ABBIE MARIA HEMENWAY.

We read with much interest Prof. John
s. Lees article in The Phoenix, July 49, in
defence of Miss Hemenway as editor of the
Vermont Historical Gazetteer, and prefer
to sustain the view which he has taken of
her work rather than oppose it, Much in
formation relative to the early history Of
Vermont towns would not have been writ
ten and preserved had she not called for it
to be published in the Gazetteer. Probably
the early history of Dummerston would not
have been written and published had it not
been for that circumstance. The first in
stallment of manuscript history of the town,
about go pages, was sent to Miss Hemenway
in April, 1869 with the understanding that
it would certainly be published immediate
ly. We waited ten years to see it in print,
aud in 1879 took courage again, furnishing
more manuscript and receiving promises
that the publication would soon appear.
Weeks, months years passed, aud still the
printing was delayed. After 1879 we lost
no opportunity of preparing and forward
ing matter relative to the first hundred
years in the history of Dummerston, Al
though the work had lost ten years of
growth from 1869 to 1879, we wanted it to
appear, not as a pamphlet of 20 pages, as it
would have been had it been printed in
1863, but sizable book, something that
would reward in part the 10 years of anx-
iety about its publication. We did not
mind making free contribution of mate
rial, but we feared, up TO within short
time of the printing, that all our labor and
considerable money invested would be lost.
The money invested was mainly for pOr-
traits, costing about 5000, to be inserted in
the extra edition of 300 copies bought by
the compiler and sold TO subscribers and
other persons wanting IA copy of the history
of Dummerston The whole edition struck
of was 1000 copies, 700 being reserved for
the fifth volume of the Gazetteer or Wind
ham county volume. Want of space for
other towns in the county was the reason
for not printing all the material sent for
publication yet the history of the town oc-
cupies 2l6 pages of the Gazetteer. There
was abundant material could the genealogy
of all the families down to 1880 be included
TO make history of more than 500 pages,
" hich could have been printed at private
expense, for the same rate or less than was
paid for the printing in the Gazetteer.
