FIVE MINUTES WITH THE NEWS OF
COUNTY.
The Eugene 8. TAYLOR Case.

Our Franklin County News today gives an
interesting account of the case of Eugene S:
Taylor, formerly of Wardsboro, husband of
the lately detected incendiary, and who is in
States prison in Massachusetts, for the muir
der of his son. The opinion seems to be quite
general claim there that he is innocent, be-
cause he was reputable and inoffensive citi-
zen. Up here the idea is that he is at least
insane. He is the son of Calvin Taylor of
Wardsboro who died three or four years ago.
His mother was insane over % years, two of
his brothers have committed suicide, and one
sister is now insane and has tried several
times to kill herself.

Vermont CrOnS.

The New England weather bureau reports
that in the greater part of Vermont the rain
fall has been sufficient, but in Windham
county, in the southern part, it is very dry,
and nearly all crops are suffering. Here the
second crop of clover has been injured. and
on late cut lots the fields have been badly
burned, and it is feared the roots are perma-
nent injured. The yield of small grain, es-
pecially oats, is promising in Chttenden
county. Clover was winter-killed to some
extent in Orange county, but is extra good in
Windsor county. Most fields of grass were
injured by the May drouth, but they have gen.
orally recovered except on sod three years or
more old. The hay is pronounced Of fine
quality in most places and does not settle SO
much in the NOV as usual, showing good
feeling qualities. One correspondent in Wind
ham county says that the grass crop in some
sections was badly injured by the freeze in
the spring and was light. while on adjoining
farms the crop was spendid.

OLD LETTERS.

Last night some yellow letters fell
From out a scrip | foundb by chance.
Among them was the silent ghost
The spirit of my first romance,
And in a faint blue envelope
A withered rose long lost TO dew
Bore witness to the dashing days
When love was large and wits were few.
Yet standing there all worn and gray,
The teardrops quivered in my eyes,
To think Of youlA's mistaken front.
Thu forehead lifted TO the skies
How rough a hill my eager feet
Flung backward when upon its crest
I saw the futter of the lace
The wind awoke on Helen's breast!
How thornless were the roses then.
When fresh young eyes and lips were
kind.
When Cupid in our porches proved
How true the tale that love is blind!
But red and white and poverty
Would only mate while shone the May,
Then came a bag of golden crowns
And jingled red and white away.
Grown old and nirSard Of romance,
vince not much at aught askew,
And often ask my favorite cat
What else had red and white TO do?
And here's the bud that rose and sank
a crimsoE island on her breast.
Why should | burn III Once again
