An Awful Murder.

Henry G. Varnum, who went to Worces-
ter, Mass, last fall from Sharon, murder
ed his wife and child. and fatally injured
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wright, while
laboring under a fit OF dependency. The
terrible deed was done sometime Sunday
morning, but was not discovered unit
Monday afternoon. The deed was done
with an iron door hanger, weighing some
four pounds. After he had as he supposed
killed all the members Of his family he
stabbed himself through the heart with q
knife and was found dead. The papers
state that ii had been known for some
time that he was not in his right mind but
nc steps had been taken TO put him where
he could do no harm. Another case OF
mistaken kindness. We do not wonder
that the old saying is that "Hell is paved
with good Intentions

The recent railroad accident between
this station and Montpelier Junction was
the result of an error on the part of Thos.
Larner, an operator in the st. Adams train
despatcher's office, who had the direction
of the traffic between Essex function and
Roxbury. He ordered train II to proceed
to Roxbury, instead of stopping at Mont
pelier Junction. The error was discovered
just after the train left the Junction and
an engine started in pursuit but did not
oyertake No. II in time to prevent the col
lision. 1t is said that Operator Larner,
who is an old and trusty official, suffered
a terrible nervous strain on learning of the
mistake. He will, probably, be discharg-
ed il he has not been already. Engineer
CotIer was taken to his home Tuesday of
last week and is as comfortable as could
be expected. Only one ankle is broken,
the other being badly sprained.

About 7 O'Clock Saturday evening, PEG

ephone message from Gen. Gilmore saying

house, the fire was extinguished after live
ly work. 1t seems that the chimney
burned out in the early part OF the day
but no trouble was discovered until about

be filledto suffocation with smoke, aud fire
was found to be burning fiercely in the
attic fioor about the chimney. II was a

From the same publishing house we
have another beautiful gift book, in green
and gold covers, by Lucy Larcom, At the
the Beautiful Gate and Other Songs Of
Faith. This book is uniform with Miss
Larcom's AS It Is in Heaven, and, as its
title suggests are of a religious character
and have been very inspiring and called
out great admiration. In the preface OF
At the Beautiful Gate, we learn that just
as the book was going to press the death
OF her old friend j. q. Whittier, occurred,
and so this little volume is the first of all
Miss Larcom's books that was ever sent
forth without the personal word OF ben
ediction" from the Quaker poet. The last
poem in the book, Withdrawal is a lament
upon his death, and the one just before it
is in memory of his sister, Elizabeth. Price
