GRAFTON.
The Burglary at A. VI. AIdrich's.

Legal proceedings have been taken dur
ing the past week in regard to the robbing
of the house of Albert NJ. Aldrch in Jan
uary Mr.. Aldrich closed his house and
moved to Londonderry, leaving the house
and its contents securely locked. Four
days later he found that the house had
been entered by choppng or breaking the
staples from the kitchen door, and ten
gallons of cider, a shot gun, powder and
shot, cam, chain and other articles had
been taken. There were fresh tracks of
two men in the snow which were traced to
the house Of Montreville Witherell. Last
Saturday Witherell and Will Howard, who
had worked for him, were arrested by
Constable Blodgett, charged with entering
the house and taking the articles. Monlay
they were brought before Justice Chas. +.
Thompson for hearing. Howard made a
confession saying that Witherell asked
him to go to Aldrich's to get the things;
Witherell broke open the door, Howard
claimed to have taken nothing himself,
but simply helped Witherell. Witherell
took the stand and denied it all, claiming
that Howard brought the stolen property
to his house, Witherell suspecting that it
had been stolen. Seymour Witherell, a
brother of Montrevlle, produced the shot
gun, which he claimed was brought to him
by Howard who asked him to keep it for
him, and to keep II a secret from Montre-
vile.
The justice held both men for trial in
500 bonds each Witherell gave bonds,
but Howard was taken to Jail at Newfane.
States Attorney Fits appeared for the
state, and L. S. Walker and c. II. Robb
for the respondents.

STRAEGLED TO DEATH.
What took place when Randolph
was taken from the wagon can only
be told by those who saw it, but
the small underground gave silent
evidence of superhuman effort
which must have been made by
Randolph, trusting that he could
free himself from his captors. The
bushes were trampled down. From
snsall limbs hung pieces of the shirt
and other clothing, which were
identified as those worn by Ran
dolph.
The fight was unequal and the
negro was strung up. As he hung
from the tree his face presented a
sight never to be forgotten. His
eyes had started from their sockets,
while his tongue protruded from
his month, and in every line of his
countenance you could read agony.
His death was due to strangulation,
and it is thought that no attempt
was made to give him a fall, but
that he was strung up from the
ground.

Tucker, subject Of all the talk, was pleased
to allow us an interview. Mr.. Tucker
looked we'll and healthy, although he is

he began preaching in the faith Of the Free
Baptists. This is his story rs he told the

spinal disease. The pains kept getting worse
all the time from day to day US the years
rolled round, and experienced many years
suffering.
Although l much regretted to, I was
compelled to retire altogether from my
work in the religious cause. The pains
would first start from my spine and limbs,
but afterward begun shooting from all parts
Of the body and it seemed as though thous-

BRICKS OF GLASS.
A Couple of Interesting samples from
Europe.


Europe.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Some samples of Talconnier's brown
glass bricks at the Franklin Institute
have attracted much attention. These
have been used In France and Germany
for more than five years, and should
not be confounded with the solid blocks
of glass formerly used with little sue
cess for similar purposes. Falconnier's
blown glass bricks are very light and
very strong. They are, in fact, hollow
chambers. so shaped as to facilitate
their being put together like other
building blockss, and are laid SO as to
present an ornamental appearance.
Made in this fashion the bricks fill sue
cessfuily the part Of double windows,
with an air chamber incased in
double glass wall and they are conse-
quently an efficient preservative
against cold as well as against heat.
and good insulators of dampness and
noise.
The bricks are hermetically sealed
while yet hot, thereby preventing for
eign substances or dust from soiling
the interior, and they are then an
nealed to increase their powers Of re-
sistance. The laying of the bricks Is

desired. The glass bricks, 1t is said,
are used with good results in the con-
struction of greenhouses and conserva-
tories, as they retain the stored heat
for long time; consequently a con-
siderable economy. Of fuel is realized.
