A correspondent Of the st Adams
Messenger inquiries if slavery ever
existed in Vermont and the Messenger

that it probably did. Il further proof
is needed, it is furnished by records on

In the inventory of Bennington estate

female slave is listed along with the

holding was not very common 10

The Randolph Herald and News
confesses to a conviction that John F.
Kimball of Randolph, sentenced to
prison for bigamy and pardoned or
paroled by Governor Mccullough,
should have been allowed to serve out
his sentence in the interest of justice
and as deterrant to others. The
evidence and documents submitted to
the governor in this case indicated
miscarriage of justice and that Kim
ball had been punished enough and
more than enough. If there was proof
to the contrary, it was not forthcom-
ing, though ample opportunity was
given for its production, We trust
the good Herald and News is not al
lowing spirit of vindicativeness
either toward the governor or toward
Kimball to interfere with its judg-
ment.

BENI-OUNIF, Algeria June 9.-The
French artillery opened a preliminary
fire at $3.50 O'clock in the morning on
Biguig, the stronghold of the rebellious
Zenaga trlbesmen who recently at
tackled and tried to ambush Governor
General Jonnart and his escort, Of
whom thirteen were seriously injured.
The actual bombardment began ct
1880 o'clock and lasted until II a. m,
when a great destruction of houses
had been wrought, the mosque de-
stroyed and, it is believed, a great
number of natives killed.
General O'Connor commands the
punitive expedition, consisting Of
1000 men of the foreign legion and a
strong force of artillery armed with
guns firing melinite shells. General
O'Connor's plan was 10 advance on
Figuig in three columns and post his
artillery on commanding hills sur
rounding the rebels stronghold.
The French troops occupied Juiye
hill and another eminence, both strate-
gic positions, by a surprise movement.
The -ra1nparts Of the town were then
1900 meters distant and, like the
houses which were half a mile behind
them, were built Of compressed earth.
From these hills the artillery made
excellent practice, the melinite shells
making a big breach In the ramparts
and destroying a multitude Of houses
the inhabitants OF which had fed at
the first shots. Finally the fire was
concentrated on the mosque which
was much venerated and the ediice
was blown TO pieces
The destruction Of the mosque is ex-
pected to have a great moral effect.
The Moors concealed in the palm
groves replied with artillery to the
French bombardment, but without ef-
feet. The French guns were then with
drawn to Djennanned-dar where Gen
eral O'Connor is awaiting offers OF
submission.
All the women and children left the
town before the action. The French
fred a few shells at distant parts OF
the oasis In order TO impress the Moors
with the power and range Of the
French guns. Throughout the engage
ment there was no loss on the French
side.

"Cronaca Sovversiva" is the name
of a new weekly paper which the So
cial Study class of the Italian colony
has begun publishing in Barre. The
first number appeared Saturday. 1t
is neatly printed publication and
the subscription price is 81 a year.
An anarchistic newspaper printed in
Italian is something of an innovation
in Vermont, hut that is practically
what this means. The social study
class, 4" if not snarchistic, is opposed
to all existing governments and all
present laws and systems, which is so
nearly anarchistic that the average
man will have difficulty in making a
distinction.
