ATYPICAL COMMUNITY.

Under circumstances the most trying
the people of Hanover have demonstrated
that self-restraint and that respect for
the regular processes of law which are
typical of New England communities.
From the moment when the hiding place
of the brutal murderer of the Werden
girl was discovered there never was the
slightest possibility of his escape. The
farmers and townsfolk who surrounded
the barn were not terrified by the know
ledge that they had desperate and we'll
armed man to deal with; and when vol
unteers were wanted to face the murder
er's revolvers and go in and bring him
out they were promptly forthcoming.
But the temper of the people throughout
was law-abiding, and their resolute pur-
pose to see justice done was more i'm
pressive than any ebullitions of frenzy
could have been. There was no time
when the murderer was in real danger of
mob violence, and though his craven spir-
it led him to apprehend that the merited
penalty of his horrible crime might be
visited upon the spot, he was perfectly
safe in that crowd, so long as it was clear
that the regular processes OF law could
be trusted to dispose of him.
The towns-fOlk have conducted them
selves no less creditably since the capture
of the murderer. Their temper has been
as free from sentimentality as from re-
venge. This fact requires to be stated
with some emphasis, because the bearing
of the people has been greaely misrepre-
scented in some of the dispatches which
have been sent from Hanover. 1t might
be thought from these dispatches that
the people were disposed to make kind
of hero of the bloodthirsty and coward
ly wretch whose black crime startled
New England. But all of these manifest
tations of maudlin sentiment have ema-
mated from sensational reporters who
have created from their own imagination
a state of feeling wholly foreign to the
worthy citizens of Hanover. Nothing
but detestation and horror is felt in the
community toward the criminal. The
ill-concealed sympathy, the sham heroics
and the disposition to treat the murder
er as an object of COMMUNICATION rather
than as a bastard and brute are simply
the imaginings of reporters. The people
of Hanover have no part in them

The american CultiUdtor wisely says
that the best general-purpose horses are
the rather short-legged. stoutly-built
horses with plenty of action, such as
the typical Morgan and the French
Canadians of years ago These horses
were no more afraid of deep snow thai
a duck of deep water. AS they lifted
their feet high and were short steppers,
their feet were always we'll under them,
and were picked up and put down with
little or none of the dragging motion
through the snow exhibited by low,
long-gaited horse.
There is no doubt that the bleak,
barren islands in the North Sea, with
their long, cold winters and scanty for
age, have stunted and dwarfed the pro-
geny of the large horses once taken
there, until they have become the di-
minutive Shetland ponies; while from
the same original stock, the mild eli
mate of the continent of Europe 700
miles farther south, with abundant sub
sistance and excellent care, has given us
the immense draft horses of Normandy
and Flanders" says the Stockmdn and
Farmer.

INTERESTING BENNINGTON REMI-
NISCENCE.

Our venerable and respected towns
man, II. c. Greene, was in the Messenger
Office last Saturday and the talk natur-
ally drifted to the at present all-absorb-
ing topic of the Bennington Centennial.
To the surprise of the reporterial force
it turned out that in the old gentleman
there had been struck rich mine of
"reminiscences of the days of John Stark
and Bennington's great battle. Among
other stories that he told was one that
had been handed down to him from his
paternal grandfather, Job Greene. 1t
seems that Job was miller and when
Baum made his sortie toward Benning-
ton, he took young Greene prisoner.
Shortly after, the British forces captured
the Sancoix grist mill with large store
of wheat, and learning that Greene was
a miller by trade, he was put in the mill
to do the grinding for the army. Just
prior to the great battle load of grain
was brought to the mill, yoke of young
steers being the motive power attached
to the cart. When the wheat had been
! unloaded, the steers started suddenly
and ran away. The driver and all about
the mill gave chase, when it dawned on
the mind of the prisoner that his oppor-
tunity for escape had arrived. He
started in a hurry but had gone only a
| short distance when he encounte red a
Hessian picket. The soldier did not
know him and asked if he was after the
runaway steers. Mr.. Greene, evidently
believing that a little preyarication
would, under the circumstances, be
overlooked, declared that he was, where
upon the sentry directed him to run
hard over hill and he would be able to
"head off, the cattle. The injunction to
run hard was obeyed to the letter. but
the steers were never caught by Mr..
Greene, but he made good his escape.
During the battle, Miss Susan Afford,
then about II years of age, but who in
later years married Job Greene, The mil
Ter, was living with her parents near the
scene of the fight and was so frightened
that she ran away and hid herself in a
log heap until the conflict was over and
victory had perched on the banners of
her friends and neighbors.
The father of II. G. Greene was one OF
the three first settlers of st. Adams,
coming here when the entire site now
occupied by our flourishing village was
a solid wilderness, and H. c., recollects
we'll when the land was first cleared and
when he raked hay and cut grain amid
the stumps where it was impossible to
plough, and his father used to take his
wheat in a dug-out canoe to a windmill
on the New York shore to be ground

that in his capacity of Senator he will
maintain the same disposition toward
the institution. His transfer from the
cabinet to the senate ELECTS no surprise.
Mr.. Proctor's intention to retire from
the cabinet this fall was announced long
ago, and on the announcement of Senator
Edmunds' resignation last spring he was
at once selected by general opinion to
fill the vacancy. He was known to pre-
fer a seat in the senate to the more
exacting and laborious work of cabinet
officer, and twas generally understood
that he would seek an election from the
State Legislature at the first suitable OPP
portunity. This came with the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Edmunds, and although the
Vermont Legislature cannot vote for a
senator until its next regular session,
there is no question about its approving
the governors present appointment.
The state of Vermont will never lack
ability in the senate so long as Senator
Proctor is there.-TrOy Press, Dem.

SENATOR PROCTOR.

The general manifestation of approval
with which Governor Pages appoint
ment of Redfield Proctor to be the sue
cessor of Edmunds in the United States
Senate has been met shows how wise a
choice has been made, All things con-
81 lered Governor Page could not have
made wiser selection. During the Pres
idents trip to Bennington and Saratoga
Secretary Proctor commanded general
attention and always Of a favorable ma
ture. He is of the New England type Of
statesman, strong, upright, and pushing.
His public life while vigorous has never
been tainted with the slightest suspicion
of uncleanliness. During its course he
has ever been on the side of measures of
public utility. In the two years in which
he has been at the head of the War De-
partment he has shown wonderful admin
istrative ability, and no secretary of war
in recent years has been more efficient or
popular. His record has been one Of com
plete success throughout, so far as the
regular work of the department is con-
cerned, and he has obtained more valu-
able army legislation from one Congress
than was secured, perhaps, by all the eff
forts of several of his predecessors com
bined. he has been the constant friend
of the Watervliet arsenal and it is likely

CURRENT NOTES.

To such persons as use salt-sifters 1t
is recommended to mix corn starch with
the salt in the proportion of one tea
spoonful of the former to five of the lat
ter. This will prevent packing in damp
weather, as the starch absorbs the mois-
ture and retains it away from the salt.
The hide of the former Cincinnati
elephant, Old Chief, which was shot last
February, has been stuffed, and, with
the mounted skeleton of the brute, will
be housed in a special building at the
Cincinnati Geological Garden. The hide
weighed 100 pounds, and it has been
stuffed with oakum. The Cincinnati
Zoo never allows anything in the shape
of an animal to get away, dead or alive.
"A Portland, (Me.,) lady the other
day noticed couple of young orioles
that had fallen from their nest in tall
elm tree into the street where they were
in imminent danger of being run over or
of being devoured by the neighborhood
cats. She placed them in basket and
left them on the roof of a high shed,
where, in very short time, the parent
birds found them and carried them
away. Each of the old birds placed a
wing beneath their young and then, us
ing their outside wings to fly with, car
ried the lost babies safely home.

by remarkable test made at Memphis.
A concern there made to order for a

boxes for conveying treasures across the

those of cottonwood were only slightly
injured by the twisting, but otherwise
were not damaged.

IDENTIFICATION BY MEASURE.

A young man, who had been arrested
one morning for theft, was called upon
and measured then and there. The pro-
cess is carried out by two men, one of
whom applies the instruments and calls
out the figures, which are entered on
card by the other, precisely as in tail
or's shop. The subject is barefootod
and bareheaded. Ten measurements are
taken in four minutes, together with the
height standing, the height sitting, the
length of the arms extended, the length
and breadth of the ear This finished,
NJ. Bertillon, card in hand, Intercepted
the prisoner:
"What is your name ?"
albert Felix"
"Have you ever been up before ~
mo, never"
"Quite sure ?"
perfectly sure" with jaunty conf
dence.
As the young scoundrel was the leader
of band this seemed highly improba-
BILE.
He was removed, and we proceeded to
the search. Section after section of the
drawers was rapidly eliminated by COM
pairing the figures on them with those
upon M. Felix's card. At last we came
to single drawer, and then down to two
cards. If he were there at all it must be
one of these. A look at the first at once
showed discrepancies of one or more
millimeters under some of the headings,
and as the bony measurements are &C
curate to a millimeter it could not be
this one. There remained one card. NJ.
Bertillon took it up, hiding the photo
graph ON it.
All the figures corresponded exactly
with those just taken of Felix. He
was recalled aud again questioned. He
repeated his former statements, but OBJ
viously with less confidence. M. Der.
tillon uncovered the photograph, and
there the fellow was to the life as he
stood that moment before us. 1t was
most startling But the original OF the
| photograph was called Alfred Louis Le-
MARIE, and he had been in Jail two years
before. The card bore details of certain
scars and marks on hand and body; they
correspondent exactly with those, on
Felix. Our friend, the detective, edged
fessional delight Again questioned,
Felix stuck to his story, but his com.
posture was gone; his eye was troubled,
his lips trembled and the muscles of his
face twitched. The photograph was
shown him. "Who is that ?"
mot me; some one like me"-but
very shakily.
This is Alfred Louis Lemaire, and he
was arrested" etc.
The fellow was down in an instant, as
limp as wet paper. "Oi, cest mon
NOM" adding, 81 knew you would find
it,
The astonishing thing was that out of
that great roOmful of cards not single
one correspondent or anything like cor
responded with the measurements of the
youth before us, except that particular
one-his own. Mistake is impossible
