evidence ofefDur completed work. A
pleasure, because having watched your
progress during the months and days of
your school life, am satisfied that the
diplomas here bestowed are justly your
due, and though some have made greater
attainment than others, all have COM
pleted the prescribed course, and to-
night leave these halls with the proud
consciousness of having fully earned the
award granted.
The acceptance of these certificates by
you is a solemn and and important step
in your lives; it marks your passage
from school life into the world, that
world which has place for each one of
you to fill, and the great problem for you
now to solve must be, how you will
meet and carry the obligations and re
sponsibilities which must increase with
each succeeding step of your lives. The
training which you have here received, I
believe, has made you broader and
stronger, but the real test must come
when individually you come in contact
with the world.
The strong chain which handles the
rudder of the great ocean steamer, is
but an allurement to destruction, if
there be but one single link with weak
place, flaw which permits it to fail
when its full strength is required to
meet and withstand the merciless bill
lows which never fail to seek it as a
prey; watch well then that your voyage
of life may not end amid the stranded
wrecks so often found along the shores.
entreat you do not for moment enter
tain the thought that the possession Of
this parchment permits you to cease b.
ing students, for in this day of strong
competition in every department of life,
he who fails to keep up with the ever
onward movement must inevitably fall
behind, and having lost his place in the
race of life soon forever disappears. Go
on then my dear young friends, be brave.
be strong, ever remembering that the
best of this life and the life to come be-
longs to you if you prove worthy.
These tokens of your preferment l
now present you in behalf of the Board
of Trustees. May you ever keep them
an honor to yourselves and the Benning-
ton Graded Schools and may Gods
blessing attend you Away.
The annual reception and Alumni
meeting will be held this evening.

COUNTY COURT.

Hon L. H. Thompson, Chief Judge; Hon. Geo,
j Bond. Hon. A. E. Burton, Assistant Judges
EDWARD j. Hall, Clerk; Henry s. Wilson, Sher-
i'll; f. c. Archibald States Attorney.
State VS.. Henry Mcdowell After a
very thorough trial, lasting a week, and
second instruction in regard to the diff
not agree as to the degree of murder
committed and were discharged. TAX
ing the testimony from where we left it,
finishing German Harrington's testi-
mony, witnesses for the State testified
that they examined the ground carefully
after the murder and could find no
stones of any size at or near where the
body lay. A witness for the defense ex-
amined the ground last Sunday and
found several stones as large as a mans
fist where the body lay. These stones
were partly imbedded in the ground but
stuck up some. On cross examination
he said there had been very large
shower about two weeks ago which had
washed the road there considerably and
might have washed the stones bare.
Blood stains were plainly visible at the
place up to the time of this shower but
were now all gone.
The defense produced some evidence
that Crowley was .quarrelsome man
when under the influence of liquor,
which was rebutted by several witnesses
on the part of the State who had seen
| him intoxicated and he was inclined TO
be clownish rather that quarrelsome.
There was some evidence that two
tracks were traced up TO the place Of
the murder when one of them ceased
and the other continued on some rods to
stone beside the road and then re-
turned back by the body, and that one of
these tracks correspondent to the boots
of Crowley. There was also evidences
that three slivers were taken out of the
scalp wound by the man who first
washed it out and that they were beech
| wood. There was evidence that there
was a pile of wood by the side of the
road near the body, and the defense
showed that there were chips and sliv-
ers in the road at that point and at that
| time.
The evidence showed that Crowley
was a strong, heavy man in robust health
at the time. Mcdowell is man of
hardly medium size but looks as though
he might be strong and quick.
The evidence was all in Monday morn
ing and the case was ably argued, the
part of the State by j. G. Martin and
States Attorney Archibald of Manches-
ter, for the respondent by o. NJ. Barber
and j. K. Batchelder of Arlington.

case and court will probably get through
in a day or two.-Journal.
