Quinn, a Montgomery county horse
thief, made four unsuccessful at
tempts to commit suicide at the peni-
Tertiary. He inhaled gas. but the
guards restored him to consciousness.
Then he made desperate attempt to
leap from the gallery in front of his
cell to the stone floor, fifty feet below.
The guards restrained him and started
to take him to the prison hospital. AS
they passed the fountain in the yard
Quinn broke from their grasp and
plunged head first into the water,
which is about six feet deep. The
fountain contained several alligators,
and one of these made for Quinn, who
forgot that he desired to die and tore
several bricks from the fountain wall
in his frantic efforts to scramble out
of the fountain. After receiving treat
ment at the hospital Quinn tried to cut
his throat. The guards finally placed
him in dungeon.

According to the Hardwick Gazette
and Swanton Courier the Powers men
tried to play a sharp game at the re-
cent caucuses, held to elect delegates
to the recent conventions, in Lamoille
county. These caucuses had nothing
whatever to do with the congressional
fight and it ought not to have been
brought into them in anyway. They
were held for The sole purpose of
electing delegates to choose delegates
to the National Republican conven-
ton at Philadelphia. According to
these papers there was "still hunt"
made in Powers behalf, that IN seven
out of the ten towns in the county
the average attendance at the caucus
es was less than 81 voters. OF the
other three towns, one sent Powers
delegates, one Page delegation, and
the third divided delegation. In
four of the towns that sent Powers
delegates the average attendance at
the caucuscs was only 1G.

The Montpelier Argus criticised the
Republican caucus at Brattleboro be-
cause the freemen dared to voice
their sentiments and expressed their
opinions in series of resolutions. 1t
said: 1.-THE Brattleboro Republicans
are not of SO much consequence that
their actions will 'embarass' the adj
ministration, but the resolutions may
'embarass' the Republicans of Brat
tleboro by putting them in position
where they will have to swallow their
convictions or leave the party" The
BrattlebOrO Phoenix thus efficiently
answers it's democratic contemporary:
"The Argus speaks from experience
when it takes up the subject of swal-
lowing. One of the biggest exhibit
tionS in this line was executed with
the silver plank by the Argus and the
democratic party in Vermont four
years ago."
