UNITED STATES COURTS.

Clerk of the United States Courts,
George E. johnson, announces that
the last day for noting cases for
trial by jury at the May term of
United States courts, which convenes
at Windsor the Sd, is April 25. This
term promises to be an interesting
one. Several of the indictments
found by the grand jury in Burling-
ton will probably be disposed of there.
The cases Of John G. Farrar, default
ing teller of the Waterbury bank, and
Cashier Mussey of Rutland will come
before the grand jury there. There
is not much civil business.
Two decisions in the cases of the
deported Cinnamon, heard Monday
and Tuesday before Judge'Wheeler at
Brattleboro we're received at the
clerks office today. The respondents
were discharged. The order of de-
portation in these cases was issued by
Commissioner Young at Newport.
No decision has yet been received in
the other cases heard, in which the
original order of deportation was
issued by Commissioner johnson in
Burlington.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATIONS.

1t looks much as though the next
general assembly would be called on
to make some additional accommoda-
tions for patients at the state hospital
at Waterbury. The present accom-
modations are we'll taken up and new
patients are brought to the hospital
every week. Saturday a special car
was left at the station and about 20
patients were taken to the Brattle-
borO retreat. A somewhat unusual
occurrence took place after the car
was loaded and ready. The car which
was left by an early morning train
was to be attached to the noon ex-
press, but by some oversight the train
did not take the car When the ex-
press reached Montpelier Junction it
was detained until an engine could
take the car to Montpelier where it
was attached to the express. Bur-

4 REMINDER OF 1872.

While Joseph Robinson with several
men were engaged in digging a cellar
under his residence at 225 Elmwood
Avenue in Burlington last week, they
were much surprised to find when
they had dug down about six feet a lot
of human skulls and bones. Their
task became more and more interest
ing as they continued to dig, as they
would pick up now and then a piece
Of blanket, an army button on which
was marked "Vermont, Freedom and
Unity" and other things. One skull
was found to have hole in the fore
head, which looked as though it must
have been pierced by bullet.
These incidents coupled with the
digging of cellar under the house
next to Mr.. Robinson's about five
years ago when skulls and bones were
also found in large quantities indicate
the fact that this place must have
been a military burial ground during
the war of 1912.

sand nonunion machinsts, it is asserted,
are prepared to support the union men
in any move they may make in the New

1.-THE demand for the nine hour work
day is simply preliminary said Mr.. War
ner. What we are striving for is the
eight hour workday. Other demands
have also been formulated. Among
these are the recognition Of the interna-
tional association, the recognition of a
minimum rate of wage scale, the aboli-
ton Of piecework and the restriction of
the employment of unskilled labor"
