If Mrs. Marsh s hung according to
sentence she will be the second wom-
an meeting that penalty in the history
of the state. The first and only won
an hanged in the state was Mrs. En-.
cline Meeker of Waterbury, who was
executed the last Friday in March
1888. But one other woman,a Mrs.
Peak of Orange county, was ever SEN
fenced to death. She died prior to
the day of execution.
The law Of Vermont requires that

of death and execution, that the case

man rather advanced in years, whose

a sharp visaged youth with, sinister

spoke he held forth large wallet wei
stuffed with old revenue stamps GOV
cred with a couple of dollar bills.
Uncle Rube looked at the greenbacks
bulging out of the wallet with equally
protruding eyes, hesitated just one mo
ment, and then, his cupidity evidently
getting the better of him, reached fol
it. "Hold on give US tenner furst,
exclaimed the possessor of the wallet
The old man quickly put his hand in
his trousers pocket; but, after a mo-
ment, drawing forth his empty hand
he drawled out, "Take it out O. the
wallet"
The youth, closing the wallet with
i'll concealed disgust, turned on his hee

A LAWYERS MIsTAKE.-A story
told by Major Menzies is being circu
lated through the Offices in the state
house, of Vincennes lawyer who ap
peared for the defendant in trial by
jury and put on the witness stand 9
boy from whose testimony he expected
to gain great deal. To the confusion
of the attorney, the story told by the
boy was greatly to the detriment O.
the defendant, and the attorneys set te
work to show that the boy was "worth
less"
"What is your occupation?" he ask
ed the boy.
81 work on my fathers farm" the
witness replied.
"You don't do much but sit around
do you? ?"
"Well, help my father"
"But you are worthless, aren't you p
was the attorneys decisive question.
II don't know whether am or not,
retorted the W tness warmly.
Then the attorney took another tack
"Your fathers a worthless man, ism,
he ?"
"Well, he works about the farm"
The attorney here fastened an eye
which cleaned with triumph on the
jury and nailed the boy with glance
from the other and said "Isn't it true
that your father doesn't do enough
work to prevent his being called
worthless ?"
The boy had chafed under these I'm
pleasant questions, and summoning hi
courage, he said loudly, "1f you wan'
to know so bad whether my father:

THIS Is the season during which the
l. the people of this section generally
make selection of the newspaper they e1-
pect to read during the following year.
There are large number Of people who
now include THE ENQUIRER on their
lists, and who expect to continue it there.
There are many others who are not now
but who would like to have it.
We want THE ENQUIRER to 60 as a
TWICE-A-WEEKv visitor to every home
in York county. With the assistance OF
intelligent and trustworthy friends in the
different localities, we know it can be
gotten into many homes to which it is not
now going. This assistance is Of much
value to us, and it is our purpose to pay
for it most literally, in proportion to the
service rendered.
The propositions we make herein are
to all responsible individuals, in each and
every locality. There is no monopoly in
the matter. Because an individual re-
turned the name Of certain subscriber
last year is no reason why why he should
have any claim upon that subscriber this
year. Because one individual may al
ready be at work in given neighbor.

not also canvass in that neighborhood.
Every clubmaker is entitled to get sub.
scribsrs whenever and wherever he or
she may be able to get them, and upon
compliance with the conditions herein
stated, have them counted.
Our plan of compensation to clubmak-

ing premium for the largest club OF
NEW SUBSCRIBERS. After that the
value of the premium is in proportion to
the number of names returned.

mining expert, gave lecture on the
subject: From Mine to Mint Mr.
Reynolds commenced with the earliest

with those of the ancients. He then re-
ferred TO the classification of ores as
smelling ores and milling ores and in
an hours interesting discourse took his
hearers over the whole ground OF the
extracting Of silver and gold from
their various grades and kinds Of ores
and preparation of these precious
metals for commercial use or minting.
Drawings of mills and smelling fur
naces were exhibited together with
samples OF the products i'm the various
stages Of preparation and after rehn-
ing.
