TIE VERMONT HOME.

The chief corner stone of the State is
the hearthstone. The people who make
habitations for their families soon form
States and nations. The best examples
of homo life are found among English
speaking peoples. Here in New England
among the children of old England
have existed the best rip0ned products
of the home life of the FatherlaDd.
Vermont, of all New England, 0y her
geographical situation, is the truest OK
ponent of home life. The Vermont
home is the best home. Among the
Vermont hills are thousands of scenes
of pastoral beauty. Not alone in the
towns and cities, but in these umbra-
geous shades are Vernon homes. Not
all these homes are ideal ones, but for
the most part these homes were and arc
among the best There is history be-
hind them. Those old homes among the
Vermont hills are all the more dear be-
cause of the tender memories connected
with them. The usefulness of these
homes may be explained on two reasons
First the soil is fertile. Drawn and
brain are required to till the sell, but
when it is titled it is rich. Another
thing is the widespread ownership of
lands and dwellings. In Vermont peo-
Pile live in homes that are invested with
human interest What tolls are associ-
ated with them! If there were tolls
there were also abundant recreations in
those dear homes. At the first Sims &c
spring came the sugar tapping. There
were also the hunting excursions. Then
tle summer came with Its countless
sports. Then there were tho glorious
Vermont autumns, with pleasure rides
and hHsking parties, and most character
istic of all, the singing schools. Then
there were the Sundays, the best Sun
days the world has ever been blessed
with Sorrow and death comes down
upon those hillsidss as they must upon
the habitations of men, but all these
things makes their memories all the
more saered.-Rev. G. A. Smith at the
Providence Reunion.

THE BORDEN CASE.

1t is given out-though not officially
that Lizzie Borden will be tried next
June. 1t is a great outrage, says the st.
Johnsbury Republican, on this unfortu-
nate girl that she should be kept in Jail,
untried, all these long months, but the
laws delay is proverb a.
The crime of which Miss Borden is
accused, it will be remembered, was
committed in the forenoon of August 4,
last, in Fall River, Mass, under very
mysterious circumstances. Mr.. and Mrs.
Borden, an aged and wealthy couple,
were murdered in their home, the muir
derer escaping and leaving no clue to his
identity behind. The instrument en-
ployed was an axe. or Ratchet, and ex-
perts agree that the murderer stood so
close to his victims that his clothing
must necessarily have been spattered
with blood. But no blood stained
Ratchet Or clothing has been found. A
servant girl passed through Mr.. Borden S
room and spoke to him few minutes
before the killing, and his youngest
daughter, Lizzie, was also probably in
the house at least when Mrs. Borden was
murdered. But both deny all knowledge

IT is great fad with the advocates OF
High License as against Prohibition
that the former once established the
licensed rum sellers will squelch root
and branch everybody who has no Ii
cense. In this matter one fact is worth
a world of theory, and that fact we find
in an item from the Granville, N. T.,
Sentinel of last week We give our
readers the privilege of drawing their
own conclusions, something they will
not be slow to do. The Sentinel says:
'The question is naturally asked, how
much longer the citizens of this place
will stand the present fragrant violations
of the excise law as witnessed in this
town to-day? The hotels alone have
licenses, yet dozen saloons. holes in
the wall, are conducting the business
as openly as though they had licenses to
do so, and the town treasury receives no
benefits from them in the way of fees.
A village must have hotels, and good
hotel greatly benefits place. This out
rage on law and order should be and
must be stopped. For over a year a
dozen unlicensed places have openly sold
liquor, and there is not single instance
where people have raised objection-ln
fact it is known where they have en-
30 IL 10 hxy
surfing them that if they would open
their saloons they would not be prose
cuted. But few days ago an out-of-
town man came here and rented place
for term of three years and is now run
ming it without n license. 1t is about
time our people took this matter in
hand.n

these offices should be passed around,
declined the reappoinUment; this was
then rendered Mrs. Bradley B. Smalley

chapter No. l, but as Mrs. Smalley pre-
ferred to remain as chapter regent, Mrs.

Since this appointment Mrs. Burdett

of which Mrs. Annie Gray Cobb is re.

of the crime. A man was seen prowling
around the Borden residence shortly be-
fore the murder. but he has disappeared
as totally as if the sea had swallowed
him.
At the inquest Lizzie Borden appeared
voluntarily and as result of the inquiry
and of the Examination following it, she
was held on the charge of murder. The
evidence for this action was generally
regarded as insufficient, the same Judge
presiding at both the inquest and the
examination, and the former being
conducted Internationally no doubt, on
the theory that the girl was the murder
en- No bloody clothing was found in
her possession. The stains on Ratchet
discovered in the cellar of the house and
supposed to be blood spots, proved to
be rust. There was an utter absence of
motive for the crime, so far as could be
discovered. The girl bore an excellent
character, had abundant means, and
although she had apparently had differ
ences with her parents, they were not of
serious sort. 1t is true that there were
discrepancies in her testimony as to her
occupation during the forenoon Of the
day of the murder, and an indisposition
OF inability to account for all the time
under inquiry. But In view OF the mar
.lssment and worry to which she had
been subjected for weeks previous to
her examination, 1t is not at all wonder
full that she should be mentally much
confused. Indeed, the eireumstantial
evidence on which she was held at the
preliminary hearing was so Insignificant
that wore it the only evidence advanced
at regular trial, jury would promptly
acquit her.
Nevertheless, grand jury formally in
dicted her for murder, though so far as
known nothing has been discovered in
the interim to strengthen the case
against her. Is she guilty. If so, she is
one of the most remarkable criminals of
the century. If not, she is an almost
equally remarkable woman. In either
case it is the part of wisdom to withhold
Judgment until the conclusion of case
which now seems quite as fir outside the
ordinary criminal category as the "Aur
der in the Rue Morgue."
