Benson Tragedy.

Two Norton Brothers Shot by One La.
rose.-The Deed Done with Musket
in the Hands of the Erenchman, Who
Claims to Have Thought one of His
Victims a Bear-A Mortal Wound In
fiicted on One Boy.
A special to the Rutland Herald
from Benson, May Is, says: About 8
o'clock Tuesday, George and Edward
Norton, aged s and If years respec-
lively, were shot by Oliver or Levi.
Larose, aged %. The younger boy is
seriously injured. Larose has been
arrested and was arraigned the next
morning.
The Norton boys, who live with
their parents on the shore of Lake
Champlain, started about O'Clock
Tuesday evening to 90 to the house
about half a mile distant. They took
the path leading inland from the lake
through the brush. About a quarter
Of a mile from their home, they met
three men, John Lafeur, his son Ar
thur, and Larose, his son-in-law.
Dung Lafeuf was carrying loaded
musket, and as the boys approached
the party, Larose took the gun from
his companion and fired, the charge
striking both boys. George fell to the
ground, but Edward retained his feet.
Ten Of the shots had hit him in the
thigh, while one had penetrated his
hand
The three Frenchmen had now
reached the party, and with their as
sistance the boys were taken TO their
home. Larose claims that he took the
boy for bear, but his stories are con-
Trajectory. Larose had recently been
married, and the only theory that
makes the shooting intentional is that
he mistook the boy for an older broth
er, of whom lac is said to be extreme
" jealous.

II Grows ON Them.

We were considerably disappointed,
at first, when we learned that it was
decided TO have the Press excursion
this year on Lake Champlain rather
than to some more distant point. We
had hoped that the committee might
select the old historic city of Quebec
as the objective point of the excursion,
but other counsels prevailed. Our
disappointment has now worn of con-
siderably, however, and we look for
ward TO a very pleasant trip on the
Lake. To those who have never sail
ed over the entire length and breadth
Of It's waters, no more pleasant trip
could have been selected, and even
those who are familiarwith its charm
ing scenery, can well enjoy seeing it
again and again. Some OF our con-
temporaries object because those who
are not members of the association are
invited 10 90 ON these excursions: but
il must be remembered that in order
TO secure special rates il is necessary
to have a certain number attend. and
as the very ones who complain are the
ones who generally stay at home. ii Is
a matter OF necessity 10 have others
take their places to make up the req
uisite number. Burlington Earth.

Mrs. Jane G.. Austin will be held in
grateful remembrance by all New Eng
landers, for putting in such permanent
form her stories OF Old Plymouth Colony.
Four volumes were completed, and she
was writing at the time of her death. The
first volume, ESTABLISH OF Standish, " is
Just received. This story opens with the
"Pilgrim Mothers" leaving the Mayflow- :
er and going on shore to do the washing.
Among the younger people of the party
we find the "Maiden PRISCILLA and John
Alden and their love affairs, and, indeed,
all the pictures of colonial time seem life
like and natural. Mrs. Austin was a de-
scendant of Miles Standish. and she took
infinite pains to know her subject we'll,
and the result is, we have four books

school libraries, which HOughton, Mifiiin

tractive bindings. From the same house
we have another altogether delightful
book entitled "Timothys Quest" by Mrs.
Kate Douglas Virgins, the author Of

to an orphan asylum, their journey in
to the country, accompanied by Rags, the

ing party were adopted, is told by Mrs.

than merely to please the reader. II is de-
