A Fuller Organ Lie.

Brother Simonds of the Manches-
ter Journal is goody, goody Fuller
ite but he can stretch the truth amaz-
ingly as the following clipped from
his last weeks issue will show:
"The Londonderry SITTER boasts
that, through its influence Fuller's
majority was several hundred less
than Dillingbam's in the towns where
the SITTER crculates. Its figures
are not correct in hardly single town
it mentions, and the falling off in
those towns is not as much as it claims
and no more than in many other
towns in the state where the SITTER
is unknown"
Now this is an absolute falshood-
straight lie-and we call upon the
Journal to quote the language of the
SITTER wherein it made any sucf
boast. We published table of the
vote in towns where the SITTER large
" circulates for the benefit of ou
readers, but made no boast ir
| the matter whatever. As to thess
figures they were compiled from thu
Vermont Register as to Dillingham;
vote and from the Rutland Herald,
tables of Fuller's vote, and they ar,
nearly absolutely correct. If the,
are not, publish the correct figures
please and further won't you Civ,
the town in which Fuller's per cent
age of loss equaled his loss in Lon
donderry. Come now, walk up t,
the scratch, if Fullerism will permi
lyou to tell the truth. And the mex

A Deserved Monument.

The sixteenth Vermont Regiment
Associ alton dedicated last Friday on
the battle ground of Gettysburg the
344th monument erected on this ia
nous field, and the fifth of which
stands to commemorate the valor of
Vermont troops there engaged in the
battle. The monument stands nearly
400 yards in advance of any other
memorial erected to indicate the posi-.
tion of Union troops taking part in
the battle of July 3, and marks the
point where this regiment, under the
command of Col. Veazey, distin.
guished itself by the gallant and he
roic charge that contributed largely
to the repulse Of the terrible assault
made on the center of the Union line
by Pickett's men.
1t was in the crisis of the battle
that the brigades of Wilcox and Per-
ry made their desperate attempt to
break through the Union center, and
when the thirteenth and fourteenth
Vermont Vermont regiments and the
troops from Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania and other states
were resisting the onslaught of the
enemy, that the sixteenth Vermont,
which occupied the skirmish line be-
tween the two lines of battle, charged
alone the right flank of Picket's lines,
causing the utter rout of the assault
ting force, who threw down their
arms and surrendered by thousands.
This daring charge of this regiment,
alone and unassisted, against force
vastly their superior in numbers, is
one of the memorable events of the
war.

Struck by Lightning.

A barn at McIndoes belonging to
AFRO Findlay was struck by lightning
and totally consumed Monday morn
ing. A quantity of hay and other
feed was burned. No live stock suf-
fered except one hog, which could
not be taken out, as the flames gained
such headway. The loss is about
81 1000, partially covered by lnsur-
ance.
The barn Of Scion Morris on South
East hill in Cabot was struck by light
ming at 4 o'clock Monday morning
and consumed with its contents, about

The large barn, with hay, grain and
farming implements, belonging to
Edward Sexton, situated just north

Col. B. B. Smalley is credited with
making the discovery that Col. Fuller
is ineligible to the governorship on
account of clause in the State con-
stitution that provides that no one
holding an office of trust or profit un-
der any act of Congress shall be ELI
gible to an executive Office, and that
Fuller is national bank director.
But this latter part turns out to be
untrue. Levi isn't SO much a bank
director as "uniform pitch" "-er.

Double Taxation.
Northfield News:

Northfeld News:
The convening legislature will prob
abb consider the advisability Of abol-
ishing what is known as "double taxa:
tion." Many believe that to tax real
estate subject to mortgage at its ap-
praised value and then to tax'the hold
er OF the mortgage for his interest in the
same property is unjust. Just why an
offset for debts owing should be allowed
against real estate does not appear clear.
1t is discrimination against that class
most in need of encouragement-the
people who lay hold of our soil and
build upon a stable foundation endu-
ring homes and industries. The mer-
chant or the professional man who bor-
rows money reduces his taxable prop
erty by that amount while the farmer
or mill owner may borrow and mort
gage as long as he can secure loans
without enjoying any dimunition in tax
es. No doubt this system has proved a
burden to our farmers. 1t fought to go.
The resulting decrease in the grand list
would equalize taxation according tC
the spirit of our government.

The political situation throughout
the country is much in the condition
witnessed in this state prior to the
September election, general appathy
prevailing. There seems to be a
don't-care feeling everywhere. The
only push and vim to be noted on the
part of the Republicans is seen in
Ohio, where vigorous campaign is
in progress. In Alabama the Dem
ocrats are stirred up by the peoples
party, but nevertheless it will be safe
to estimate Cleveland's majority in
that state not less than fifty thousand.
1t now looks as if Nebraska and sew
eral other Western states may 60
against Harrison and for the third
party. A months time may effect a
decided change, however.

VERMONT NEWS.
A Bloody Mystery.

A dispatch to the Rutland Herald
from Bellows Falls says-Mrs. Eliza
beth Hoyt of Bartonsvile was found
Saturday morning about 10 o'clock
with the main artery of her left arm
cut and unconscious.
She was married August 23 to
Frank Hoyt, travelling clock tinker,
after an acquaintance of only two
weeks. She is 65 and he is about 35
years old. Her children have been
angry at her action and the neighbors
have looked with suspicion upon the
marriage. A few days ago she made
a new will giving all her property to
her husband and gave him possession
of her bank book. 1t is said by the
neighbors that he has abused her and
locked her IN room and refused her
food on several occasions.
Mrs. Hoyt recovered consciousness
today and said that she did the cut
ting herself, but it is thought that she
may be trying to shield her husband,
as her position when found and the
razor which lay in its case on bench
make it uncertain whether she could
have done it. 1t is probable that the
woman will recover.
Fred Whitney of Mount Holly has
been with him about month, learn
ing the trade, and confirms the re-,
port of neighbors about his abuse and
says that she has complained to him
on several occasions.
Sheriff Lowell of Ludlow arrived
here about noon and made an investi-
CATION and on the arrival of State
Attorney Hit from Brattleboro on
the evening train both Hoyt and
whitney were arrested. Hoyt has
been sick and the doctors say that he
must not be moved, SO he was left
in charge of a guard. Whitney was
taken here to await developments.
Three young Frenchmen from Hol-
yoke were arrested at Bellows Falls
Saturday evening on charge of horse
stealing. They tried to sell horse
and wagon for $40, and a telegram
from the chief of police at Holyoke
showed that the property was stolen.
