The Brattleboro relatives of Mr.. and
Mrs. Freeman Scott Of Galveston, Texas,
have received a newspaper from Jefferson
vile, Ind, containing a letter from Mrs.
Scott to a relative in that city, in regard to
the Galveston food. Mrs. Scott's hus-
band is a conductor on the Galveston rail-
road, and on the night of the food he was
in Houston. On the following morning
he started for Galveston by train, but
the train could run only up to IA miles of
the city. Mr.. Scott was obliged to walk
the rest of the way, with the water up to
his waist a large part of the time. Hun
dreds of bodies foated past him, and when
ever the body of a woman came within his
reach he would turn 1t over to see whether
it was that of his wife. Mrs Scott wrote
that the hotel where she lived was dam
aged to the amount of SIS, 900. A falling
chimney crashed through the roof of her
room. The water was seven feet deep in
front of the hotel, and Mrs. Scott saw two
houses crushed in and expected momen-
tarily that the hotel would 60. She said
she had seen scarcely anybody cry who
had lost relatives, as they were so nearly
crazy they were more apt to laugh. Mr..
and Mrs. Scott have moved from the city
on account of the stencil arising from the
dead bodies and debris.

Hugh Henry's story.

Hon. Hugh Henry writes to the editor
of the Concord Monitor, as follows:
The attempt of your neighbor, the PEG,
pie and Patriot, to extract Democratic con-
ISOLATION out of the result of Vermonts
election, when the Republican plurality
increased 5000 over that of two years az o,
and exceeded by 1000 over any ever Civ, N
before except 1896, when about 40o0 gold
Democrats voted with us, reminds me Of
the country editors account of the killing
by accident of his townsman, Peter
Brown, as follows:
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
"We have TO record the tragic death of
our fellow townsman, Peter Brown; as he
was descending long hill his horse ran,
throwing him from his wagon, crushing his
skull, breaking his neck, both arms and
legs and killing him instantly"
LATER AND BETTER.
"We learn that Mr.. Browns left leg was
not broken"
