4 Wild Man nj LARGE.

Last Saturday night a wild man created
considerable excitement at Tunnelton, by
breaking into several houses and soaring
people nearly to death. The man came TO
TunnelIon to work in the mines about three
weeks ago and gave his name as Martin vii.
son from Armstrong county, Pa lie seem
ed to be all right and got work in the mines.
but after two weeks he was discharged as
failure and got 10 talking wild and staying
out all night from his boarding place, and
Saturday night he FIRST went to the widow
Wiles and tried to break into her house and
she fought him off and he left and went to
George Cummings and did get in through a
window and woke Cummings. MIR. Cum
mings got his revolver and scared him out Of
there Then he went to Mrs. Edwards and
got into the house and woke them no and
frightened the women nearly to death, so
that their screams brought some male board
ers to their rescue and'ihey captured the fell
low and started to the lookup with him. He
got away and ran, but they caught him
again aud finally got him TO the prison.
Next morning Justice J. A. Miller examined
him and called in DR.. w NJ. Siyey, who de-
olared him insane, and as he seemed danger
Gus he was sent over here and lodged IN Jail,
where he has been making night hideous
with his shouts aud Streams ever since, al.
though some think he is just playing off
crazy. To-day Squire Miller is here aud
they are giving him trial at Justice Flynn's
office to Try and find out what TO do with
him.

Governor DilIingham's Letter.

For the assurance of the people of Yer
mont, whether as TO his attitude toward
the farmers or as to his own integrity in
the conduct of the senatorial canvass, it
was unnecessary for ex-Gov. Dillingham;
to write the letter which is printed else
where in this paper But he has never
theless done the right thing in addressing
this letter to the people, and he has done
it in mans way. His language is simple,
explicit, and it casts no imputations on
anybody
1t is our candid belief that the charge of
the Grout papers that Gov. Dillingham; is
the agent of the oleomargarine trust in
Vermont will prove the death-blow to Gen.
Grout's canvass. There never was the
slightest ground for making this charge
there never was the slightest reason for
believing or representing Gov. Dillingham;
to be either hostile or Indifferent to the in
terests of the farmers; and we believe that
the peoples sense of fairness, coupled
with their indignation at such political
methods, will do the work.
