THE PUTNEY COLUMN,
Pleaded Guilty.

Fred TIbbetts Confessed 10 Stealing
Money from EIihu wilson and Was
Sentenced wednesday TO the Reform
school.
Fred Tibbetts, 15-year-old son of George
Tibbetts who moved to Gardner. Mass,
last week, was arrested Monday night by
Deputy Sheriff A. W. j. Wilkins on a
states attorneys complaint charging him
with the larceny of money from Elhu
Wilson, who lives on the Brattleboro road.
It will be remembered that on Sept 4 Mr..
Wilson discovered that his pocket book had
been relieved of IS in cash. He put the
money into the wallet Aug. 21 and put the
wallet into the pocket of some trousers
which he was not wearing in order to
keep it until certain insurance premium
became due. When the money was
missed Mr.. Wilson and others at once sus-
pected Tibbetts. On last week Tibbetts
was closely questioned about the matter
and he confessed that he stole the money
but stated that he was assisted by Kit
tredge Dean, a lad about Tibbetts's age.
who lives near G. E. Glddens. A hear
ing was set for Wednesday, at which time
States Attorney Barber of Brattleboro APP
peared for the state and Lawyer G. c..
Fits of Brattleboro for Dean, who was ar
rested Wednesday. Dean denied being
implicated in the matter and the case
against him was mol pressed. Tibbetts
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the
reform school until he becomes of age.
Deputy Sheriff Wilkins took Tibbetts to
the reform school last night. The SEN
tence seems rather severe, but it is as
light as could be given under the circum-
stances. 1t is probable, however, that
Tibbetts will be released in a year or two
if he behaves himself. The hearing was
before Justice A. j. Aver.

Opportunity For Humane Work.

The October number of Humane Chris
tian Culture is geographically long dis
lance ahead of any of the preceding num-
bers. The editor makes plain statement
as to the condition of things in this town.
He says: at is with great regret to many
that the Office of publication was removed
from Putney. 1t was hoped the magazine
would be leaven in that locality for good.
No town in Vermont, its size, offers better
opportunity for humane work than that
place, for there is great deal of inhuman-
ity and cruelty to animals there. Several
cases of cruelty now are being considered,
and it is earnestly hoped that at least three
or four convictions can be secured for the
moral benefit it will be to the locality.
Horses walking on three legs, dying at
the plough and drawing loads under the
ugly blows of club, ought not to be toler-
ated by good citizens, say nothing of those
especially interested in dumb creatures"

A Great English stnteman's Secret.

1t is related that the secret of a celebrated
English statesman's long life was his systematic
way of eating. Every bite Of food put into his
mouth W IS chewed 80 times before he swallowed
it. The consequence was that his stomach never
bothered him, and he naturally enjoyed good
health. Most men and women bolt their food
and eat things which were never intended to be
eaten. They become costive, have "a bad COM
plexion, lose flesh irritable and nervous, and
the first thing they know they are played out,
as the saying goes. 1t is gratifying to know that
H stetter's Stomach Bitters overcomes. and
cures all stomach troubles It is a purely vege-
table medicine that has stood thel test Of many
years. 1t cures cases which seem to be hopeless

The Gratiot and Clinton Mutual Holds
It's Annual Election.

The Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
company held its annual meeting in
Fireman's Hall, ST. Johns. Tuesday
afternoon of last week. There was a
good attendance. Dorr X Stowell was
unanimously re elected president, Geo.
N. Ferry received 81 out OF 63 votes cast
for vice president, and Charles b. Giffels
received II votes, all that were cast, for
secretary. During the past wear Clio
new members have been added, and
353 policies cancelled, leaving a net gain
of 263. This is fine showing. The
company now has 4 ,457 members, with
s. ,663 ,085 insurance in force. There
has been 90 losses during the last year
tor which the company paid 1881 IA.
The total assessments for the year
amounted to $l7 1868, and three months
after the notices were sent out this
amount had been paid except about
$500 This is the best showing made
in the history of the company. Henry
Stitt and w. G. Mallory were elected
directors for Gratiot county. The
salary of the secretary was raised from
$3.50 to $500. Another hundred would
have been little nearer what the SER
vices of the secretary are worth. The
company seems to be in first class con-
dition. An amendment was made to
section three of the charter, making
the policies cover loss of stock by light
ming anywhere in the two counties, in.
stead of on the premises of the owner.

he was admitted To the bar. Instead
of entering upon the practice of law he

a decided taste. In September, 1856 +,
he purchased the Leweston Journal, Of

while studying law, and to which in
1861 he added daily edition. The
paper rapidly increased in circulation
| and influence under his management.
In 1864. at the age of %, he was
elected representative from Auburn to

at once took high rank was reelected
in 1862 and chosen speaker of the house
