Bullet Hole Through His Bress'.

The Troy Press of Tuesday had an
item under this heading, as follows:
"The dead body of Harry G.. Olin, the
1S-year-Old son of a farmer at Buskirks'
Bridge, was found under pile of brush
in a piece of woods back of his father's
farm at 9 o'clock this morning.
"Olin went out Just after dinner yes
terday saying that he was going to hunt
woodchucks. He took a revolver with
him. As he did not return at night his
parents became alarmed and instituted q
search which resulted in the discovery OF
his body.
"There was bullet hole through the
Youths breast and the missile had pene.
trated to the heart. Death must have
been instantaneous, but it is not known
how the fatal shot came to be fired; al
though it is generally supposed to have
been an accident. Coroner Davis OF
Hoosick Falls was notified and will make
an investigation. Olin was at one time
a student in the Commercial College in
this city. Young 0lin was an expert
shot with rifle and was the best marks
man in the Buskirks Gun Club, of which
he was member. He was young man
of promise and ability, genial and gen.
tlemanly department; and his death will
be mOurned by large number OF &C.
quaintances, who extend to his aged and
heart broken parents their sincerestsym'
pathy."
Master Harry was son of Truman
DIN formerly of Woodford and Benning-
ton, and had attended our Graded School.
His brother Frank is well known in CON
nection with the firm of Wood & Olin,
powder mill builders.
Last evenings papers contained the
following: Coroner MillingtOn of Shu-
shan did not think an inquest necessary
on the body of Harry g. Olin, found
dead, shot through the heart, yesterday
morning at Buskirks' Bridge. The funeral
will be held from the house of his father
at Buskirks Bridge at o'clock Thursday
afternoon. The deceased was a great
favorite among his acquaintance and
many expressions Of regret are heard as
to his untimely end"

The New York Central has without a
doubt the finest train service of any line
in the world and runs the safest and best
equipped through trains of any road in
this country. Its limited trains, the
New York and Chicago Limited and the
Southwestern Limited, are well known
and largely patronized. In addition
these trains are, many of them, equipped
with the vestibule, state-room sleepers
and drawing-room cars, just as elegantly
appointed as on the Limited. The pri-
vate compartment sleeping cars in SER
vice on Che New York and Chicago Linn
tied are undoubtedly the most superb
ever built. In these cars passengers Sc
cure the privacy of their own homes al
most, with polite and efficient servants

no wonder that the Central and the Wag-

patronized. From the Lockport, ". Y,

The Rt. Rev. w. H. A. Bissell, of the
Diocese of Vermont, made his annual visi-
tatiOn TO the parish, last Sunday and
Confirmed a class of thirty-three. The
Confirmation preceded the Celebration
of the Holy Eucharist at the midday
service and the Bishops remarks to the

sermon.
At the Sunday school following, the
children were catechised by the Bishop,
acquitting themselves nicely, showing
the careful training these children OF the
church have been receiving.
At the evening service the members Of
Taft COmmandery, Knights Tempiar
attended, the ritual used being that pre-
scribed BY the Vermont Grand Body of
tn Order. The rector and prelate de-
liyered a very fine sermon from the motto
of the Templars: "Be thou faithful uEt
death and Twill give thee crown of
life."
Bishop Bissell passed. the winter lin

Mr.. Ka,Ie w. O.torhout. !

From the Daily Press of MiddletOwn,
N. Y, we learn OF the death Of Mrs.
Osterhout, pleasantly remembered by
many of our readers, which occurred in
that city, May 10th. She had been a
great sufferer, so the Press says, for a
year and one-half, and the shock of her
death came with great force on her bus
band, who never lost hope of her recovery.
The Press says: Mrs. 0sterhOut was a
native of Ulster County and was born
at Olive Bridge in 1854. She was the
daughter of Samuel and Sarah A. Weeks,
both of whom are now dead. She was
married sixteen years ago the 20 Of Janu7
airy last. Before coming to Middletown,
five years ago, Mr.. and Mrs. OsterhOut
lived in Bennington, Vt. She was a
member of the Second Congregational
Church of that villOge, having united
there in 1874. Although worshipping at
the Congregational Church here, Mrs.
Osterhout never transferred her men,
bership from Vermont.
"The deceased never had any childrenS
She is survived by two brothers, i. K.
Weeks of this city, Edgar ID. of Ellen
vile, and one sister, Mrs. Emma A.,
wife OF John Eckert, of Olive Bridge.
The latter's two daughters Emma and
Irene, were with their aunt at the time
of her DEATH"
The funeral was held the following
Tuesday, from the family residence, No.
10 Wickham Avenue. The attendance
of mourners was large and the floral
tributes were many and beautiful.

Tree Culture.

Now is the time to trim and otherwise
care for fruit trees, especially apple
trees. By scraping the old bark from
the tree many young borers are destroyed
and the tree greatly assisted TO a vigor-
GUS growth. Borers further in may be
killed with small wire without injury
TO the tree. The old process Of cutting
them out should not be allowed, but II
borers are not destroyed the trees will
die, as is too often seen in orchards
where little or no care has been taken of
the trees. T. s. Plumb has been busy
several weeks at this work, and still
there is much more to do in this vicinity.
The bag worm is very abundant this sea
son, and should be wiped OUT imme-
diately. II is very painful to see, in ouI
thrifty and prosperous town, so many
orchards filled up with an overgrOwth OF
wood, or dead and dying trees, for want
Of proper care. We trust that the live
farmers, and other owners Of trees will
see to this business right away, for ap
pearance sake, If for no other.

Controversy.

Aouated by Good MOtiVes-A Correspond
ent's Remarks on the Graded School
Controversy.
Editor Bdnner:-There are some
thoughts in relation to our Graded School
controversy that must present themselves
to any citizen who is disposed to regard
the matter fairly and without prejudice.
The affairs of Bennington Graded School
are under the control of a Board of Trus-
tees, elected by popular vote from the
several wards of the village, and presum-
ably chosen to fill hatposition by reason
of their fitness for it. The present Board
is composed of men of character, Of
Judgment and fairness, and the Trustees,
as they themselves assert in speaking Of
their action in reference to the manage
ment of the institution, are only actuated
by desire to do that which is for the
best interests of the school and cOmmu-
nifty at large. Their action in the pres
emit condition of things has been entirely
unanimous - without one dissenting
voice. Their position as Trustees must
necessarily enable them to know more
about the facts pertaining to the desira-
bility of retaining the services of any
teacher in any department Of the school,
than any one or all outside parties posi-
bly, can. If they are incompetent from
any reason to Judge wisely and well, let
them be replaced by a Board in whose
Judgment the community can confide,
but while occupying their present official
position, let their opinions be maintained
and respected.
The Infamous diatribe in last weeks
issue of the Bennington Reformer, is in
reality, a tribute to the capacity and
worth of the man it was intended to in
jure. Abuse and attempted defamation
from that source is the highest praise
that can be accorded any man. The only
thing to be dreaded from Editor Liv-
ingstOnn is his favorable criticism and
commentator. That of itself will damn
beyond redemption anything or anybody.
No project however praiseworthy-no
man however pure, subjected to the be-
spatterings of his foul approval, poured
into that nasty receptacle of garbage,
called the Bennington RefOrmer,' but
will feel the blighting influence of his
favor. Venal and malignant, printing or
suppressing facts, dependent upon his
victims willingness to pay-devoid of
honor as the paper he edits is Of de-
cency-distrusted and despised in every
community which he has polluted by his
presence-why he has been allowed SO
long to drag his Shiny way through Ben
nington is certainly an enigma. Let us
hope he may soon place that contentious
and malignant face true index of the char
acter within) under the manipulations of
some other Barber" who will shave a
little closer than the former tonsorial ar
fist has done. JUSTICE.
