The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-06-07

THREE American crooks crossed the Can
adam border from Vermont early last Sat
nrday morning to the hamlet of Beach
Ridge. They went to the farm house OF
Omri Ely, the leading man in that locality,
and, after demanding and obtaining all the
money and valuables in possession, shot
wife and daughter, .and then set fire to the
house. The flames were seen by the neigh
bors, who at once rushed to the spot, and
were Mortified at the sight of the three dead
bodies in a room on the lower fiat of the
house. Miss Emma Ely, the murdered

The Kindergarten.

Editor Wdtchmdn The kindergarten sys-
TEN of education is based upon the child's
nature and its requirements for develop
ment. To keep the child healthily aud
happily growing and learning is the aim of
the new education. To illustrate: 1t is like
the cultivation of choice plant in a garden.
The gardener is careful to remove every
obstruction to natural growth, to place
within reach of the plant those substances
which 1t needs for nourshment, to be sure
that it has plenty OF light, air and moisture;
IN word, TO supply the natural wants of
pure vegetable growth and let it unfold in
its own unobstructed way.
Such are the methods in the Child Garden.
The Kindergarten studies each child indi-
vidually as carefully as the gardener does
his choicest plants. She supplies each need,
removes those things which are hindrances,
and lets each little living plant grow as it
was meant to grow. The kindergartner
guides gently, but she is also led by the
children as the gardener by his growing
things.
Self-activity lies at the foundation of this
work. The child must learn by doing He
handles square piece of wood, finds its
corners and edges, talks about it and meas
ures it. At another lesson he lays sticks at
right angles to form a square; again he sews
a square, or, with his strips of paper he
weaves a square. Another day, he takes a
piece of paper folds or cuts it, and thus
makes use of the form and material which he
has been studying.
About half Of the daily lesson is devoted
to songs and games. In all these attractive
songs and plays the principal idea is to pro-
mote healthy growth of body, mind and
spirit. Learning by doing, gaining little by
little, power over himself, and acquiring
power over the educative material at his
disposal, becoming conscious of law which
so underlies all substances that he must
work in accordance with it if he would have
it obey his will, he subconsciously drinks in
the truths which are suited to his years and
expands most genially. IS

THE St. Johnsbury Daily Republican

THE St. Johnsbury Daily Republican
recently celebrated the first anniver-
sary of its birth. The Republican is an
enterprising newsgatherer. 1t was es-
tabished to print the news, and it is
fulfilling the purpose of its existence in
way that not only leaves no room for
fair criticism, but which in all respects
merits high cOmmendation.

ABATEMENT ASKED
BY the National German. Ameri.
can Bank.

The board of abatement did consider
able business at yesterdays session,
and adjourned until Wednesday after
noon. President Lusk and Cashier
Jockey, of the National German-Amer-
lean bank, appeared before the board
and asked reduction in the assessed
valuation of its capital stock and sur
plus. This reduction was asked to be
made to correspond with the reduction
made by the terms Of the reorganiZa-
ton of the bank. In other words, that
the valuation of the capital stock be
reduced from 100000 to $1,000 900,
and the surplus from S250,0O0 to Sl25,-
0OO The matter was discussed for some
time. The mayor took the view that
the assessment having been made as of
May of the present year, it would not
be proper to cut it down. The appllca-
ton was referred to the county attorney
for an opinion as to the power of the
board to make the reduction.
The application of the Lafayette
Building society for a reduction of one
half in It's assessment was referred to
the county assessor for investigation.
The reduction of assessment on prop
erty destroyed or damaged by the Page
street flood on the West side was denied
for the year 1892. The First Norwegian
Danish church was given retunding
order for taxes paid.

SALTWATER NEWS,

Robbers have apparently diverted
their attentions from Marine to the
little village of Lake Elmo, about six
miles southwest of this city, for on Sun
day evening. while five of the villagers
were seated in Nick Berschen's saloon,
three strangers walked in and, without
any ceremony, relieved them of all their
money and watches. Fortunately they
did not secure great deal, and their
plumber only consists of three watches
and about $40 in cash. After the rob-
berry the robbers quietly left the saloon.
and it is surmlsed that they started off
toward st. Paul. The frequency of
robberieS in the country districts will
result in many arming themselves for
protection. In Still water every tough
looking character is watched by the po-
lice, and ii the individual is not capable
of giving good account of himself he is
politely requested to walk.
Senator j. S. o. Brien was in the city
yesterday. In conversation with a
GLOBE correspondent he stated that
this would be his last week at the Haw-
thorne track, and that ell of his horses
would be brought home some day next
week. Longshot has not been entered
i'll any race since he was taken to Chi
cago. but ne expects to enter him this
week.

Some thirty have gone into Palomas.
The administrator is to be spirited
away, and war is expected by morning.
We cannot get up to Deming. 1t is not
safe here. We are thirty-fve miles
from a white family. The fighters have
two cartridge belts around their waists
and one over their shoulders, two re-
volvers, one knife and one Winchester.
How is that for being armed? This is
likely to last for mouth or more. You
have no idea of the trouble. A Mormon
with his family started down into Mex
white flag, and were told to stop. The
rebels cook all their flour, groceries and
money, and told them they would not
be killed if they kept quiet. The way
we heard of it was through some of
papa's cowboys. They took two of
papa's horses that the cowboys were on,
took their firearms, and left them to
walk home"
On Tuesday Mrs. Hart writes:
lit is dreadful. The administrator
was brought to our house last night be-

Asst PAUL LADY AMONG THE REBELS
ON M-Xic0'S BORDER.


Money and Munitions Of War
Eagerly Sought by the Men
Stages and Passengers Robbed
The administrators of Pala-
mos Rescued From the Marau-
ders Between Two Mattresses.
Mrs. w. IL. Hart.of this city, has been
for several weeks sOJournlng in the
midst of the turbulent scenes now being
enacted on the Mexican border. Her
life there has been full of excitement of
a decidedly unpleasant nature, as
neither the inSurgent bands nor the
Mexican troops engaged in the attempt
to suppress the instruction are at all
punctiious in their conduct or regard
ful of the safety of either the persons or
property of the settlers in the region.
Mrs. Hart has written frequently to her
husband in this city since the beginning
of the trouble, but since the 18th inst.
nothing has been heard from her, and it
is feared that the rebels have cut of all
communication between that region and
the states. In letter dated on the 18th
inst. Mrs. Hart writes:
You will before now have seen by
the papers the doings of oar Indians.
They are Mexican Indians-some three
hundred of them. Ali they want is money
and firearms. They took the custom
house, killed one man and one horse
and wounded three other horses and
took eleven from people there-twO of
father's-and took all they wanted from
the company'S grocery store. We are
there; fires all around US on the mount,
aims, and we all fear that when the
soldiers get here they will have a big
fight, for that is what they want-to
fight the government. A team came
from DennIng yesterday and was held
up by twelve of them, who took all the
money OF the passengers as we'll as theil
firearms. About fifty came here to oul
windmill and filled their canteens with
water. They will not hurt white people
but tell you l want to get out of here. .
On the 18th inst. Mrs. Hart writes:
"Palamos is taken by the Tomachas
1t is much worse than l can describe OF
paper. No one can move away on horse
back or in wagons. so we have to stay
here. They have taken the town anC
our place too, have taken papa's horses
and they hold up everybody. We cal
see them from the house. There arc
over tire hundred of them. They art
waiting here for the Mexican soldiers
that are on their way from Juarez
These men are the same ones who have
been doing SO much fighting. They
are called Jarza revolutionists. Yol
