Always Ready To Marry.

The cleverest marriage swindler of
modern times was perhaps Miss Eve
lin Leal, a really distinguished looking
English woman. She has been mar
ried and given in marriage at least
twenty times during the last three
years, while she has been alliance as
many times more during the same
period, and in every case has succeed.
ed in obtaining handsome presents of
jewelry, which she has Immediately
sold for what they would fetch. Her
system was to write to some rich
bachelor merchant in the provinces,
offering to introduce him to the wild
ow of an English nobleman with g
view to matrimony. Strange as it may
seem, many Of the provincial mer-
chants took the bait, went to Paris,
were introduced to the widow of the
English nobleman," allowed to escort
her to the theater, make her presents
of flowers the first day, gloves the
second, while on the third, if the ar
dent would-be husband had not sug-
gested it, she would quietly choose a
wedding ring, with a handsome keep
er, accompanied by a diamond neck
lace, brooch and ear rings, all these
to constitute her wedding present.
Then she would disappear with her
jewels, change her clothes and name,
and start the same game with another
victim the following day. She would
sometimes have two proposals of mar
riage on hand at the same time; she
always calculated upon the frailty Of
human nature and the great dislike
the victims would have to being pub
licly exposed to ridicule for having so
simply been taken in with the promi-
ses of the fair English woman Now
she is being boarded and clothed at
the expense of the French State,
which, upon the recommendation of
an austere magistrate, has engaged to
take entire charge of her for the next
eighteen months.

law and sobriety. It is a great mis-
fortune. I had almost said the great
est, when a generation arises without
respect for law and no evidence for
justice and its officers. Lynching de-
rides law; it spits in her face, takes
from her her crown and trampleH her
garments under foot. Disregard for
law, when it becomes an established
sentiment, tends to make people Ell
ther Ishmaelites or Indians. If our
Courts are nothing, and our laws to
be set aside for the unrestrained sem
timents of every mob, the hand Of ev-
cry man must be against his fellows.
Lynching for rape makes possible
lynching for murder, and lynching for
murder makes possible %lynching for
minor ofenses, and lynching for such
things as stealing a Bible from q
church makes possible the taking of
individual private revergein the home
of law and order. If we tolerate
lynching for the worst offence we may
be sure that the mob will tolerate it
for smaller offences. If we invoke
the aid or submit to the patronage of
lawlessness we must taste the conse-
quence and not complain when lewd
fellows Of the baser sort really rule
the land. Lnching is hypocrisy; it is
the devil pretending to look after the
public good.
5. Lastly, lynching is murder. That
is all of it and the end of it. If one
man takes the law into his hands, or
two, and kills another, no one raises
a question of guilt in that case. 1t
makes no difference because a mob
does the work of one man. 1ndividu-
atty and responsibility are not lost in
a crowd. All lynchers are murderers,
guilty in the sight Of God and by the
laws Of our country. They are cow-
ardly murderers, assassinators, strik-
ing in the dark, working often behind
masked faces, no one daring to assert
his individuality. They are weak
murderers; no n of them will do
what together they all do. They lean
upon one another in their weak
ness. They pay no attention to the
cries of the guilty. They even add
torture, and while they sometimes
make a mock of God by giving their
victims a chance to pray, they more
often add torture of some kind. Yes,
lynching is murder; unabashed MUIR
der, cowardly murder, pitiless murder.
God, the avenger, heard the cries of
that man who was taken from the train
at Windsor a few nights ago. God
saw the end of the victims Of Broxton
Bridge, and God will avenge.
What concerns US is that his ven
geance will fall on all also if We at all
justify these acts, and do not do all
in our power to bring the guilty ones
to justice. Therefore I plead for cor
rect views and a healthy sentiment on
this subject; that we shall stand on
principles when temptation comes; that
we shall always support the law, and
especially do I ask that God-fearing
people will never countenance lawless-
less in silence, look, or word, but
remember the law, "Thou shalt not
kill

Frs,

The noted DR.. Svmonds of Boston,
Mass, will enter into copartnership
with Prof. A. J. tlerrick to operate
and attend to all general veterinary
business of the Vermont Horse In
Urinary. The people of this country
have learned to appreciate real
veterinary service, with the result
that Prof. lIcrrick cannot properly
attend to his home practice and fill
his orders from other towns and
cities in other States without hep.
DR.. Symonds is Il graduate Of Har-
ward College, and the people will
like him socially and will be benefited
by his wonderful skill in veterinary
surgery.
Owing to the hard times and the
scarcity of money and the fact that
hundreds of horses are suffering from
the worst of dental operation, float
ing teeth will be nicely done at the
Vermont Horse lntirmary for one
dollar for the month of March, 1896,
which, at all other times, will cost
$500. This operation will be per-
formed every day, Sundays excepted,

generally needed in the Spring, when
the languid exhausted feeling pre-
walls, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need Of tonic and
alternative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long
and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No

fire Tuesday morning, causing loss

at about 4 o'clock in the wool drying

of the building. This was the first
fire in the place since the gravity
water works were put in, and the
fire apparatus did good service.
