w. w. Vaughn OF Rutland has Just

minister, who preached in hutlana
church last spring and later jumper

wife ON Mr.. Vaughn's hands, and VINO
now has worked another swlndle at
New London. ON
The career OF the Rev. Mr.. Stiles,
who is well known in that section; pc
fore and since his residence in Rutland,

frauds. While there last spring tne
Rev. Mr.. Stiles boarded tree with ms

nreached at the Advent Christian
church several times and was received
open armed by the unsuspectlng
members of all the churches. A few
months atterward the Rev. Mr.. Stiles
went to New York TO get his fortune
which he said had arrived and was not
heard OF since until recently.
Information now comes that Stiles
was pastor of a Methodist church in
Ohio, where he raised $4,000 for new
building and then skipped. Near
Rochester a working girl becoming IN
fatuated with him bought horse and
buggy and presented them to him, by
which means he left that place without
paying his board bill. From Rutland
he went to Jamaica, X. l., where he
borrowed money from clergymen and
church members, was rejected by a
sick widow and left the family, with
whom he boarded. at night and by
means OF rope from the second story
window. In Brooklyn he raised
money TO pay for artificial limbs Tor
his wife, living easy until suspicion
caused him TO jump his board. AT
Belney, N. u, the fortune story which
he also used In some OF the other
towns mentioned got him board and
lodging Tor several months as well as
association with the leading church
men Of the place. At New London,
his latest venture, he promised to take
the aged couple with whom he boarded
TO Europe when the $780, fortune
arrived. Taking their ls-year-old
with him 10 arrange for the
trip and get his money, Stiles started
a few DAYS ago for New York city and
has not since been heard Of.
The Rev Stiles is about 80 years
old. Mr.. Vaughn has forwarded por-
traits TO the New London authorities
and offered TO do all possible in his
power to capture the swindler and
convict him.

Vermont beat New Hampshire a lit
tlein unloading prohibition-but not
much. The new license law for the
Granite state was signed last week.
1t did not require a referendum, like
Yermonts. The main points OF differ
ence between our law and theirs are !:
In New Hampshire. the licenses are
granted by and through a single state
commission Of three members appoint
ed by the governor, instead OF by local
boards, as here; there is no limit as TO
the number of licenses that may be is
sued in any town or city that votes IL
cense; the license commissioners may
grant licenses to inn-keepers in towns
that vote no license, selling to be con-
fined to guests only. Perhaps Yer
mont can borrow some OF these fea-
lures. and perhaps she can loan some
TO her neighbor, after the coming two
years experience.

A Brave soIdIer CONC.

The news comes from Manchester,
n. H., of the death March ~ of a
brave Vermont soldier, who, as color
bearer of the old Fifth regiment, won
the commentator OF his superiors for
valOrous conduct In the face OF great
danger. The man was Henry III Recor,
formerly OF Barre, and veterans of his
regiment and others who remember
the stirring days of the war will recall
the following incident in his career
which is reprinted from the Vermont
Waterman of July IA. 1865.
Corporal Henry ii. Recor, color
bearer of the Fifth Vermont Volun-
teers, met with pleasant surprise at
Burlington the other day on being
out of service. Uncle Sam
presented him $3.50 in recognition of
his valor. He was the first person to
plant the colors over the rebel works
at Petersburg. When he entered the
rebel fertilization he was in advance
OF the regiment some 10 rods, followed
by Captain Gould, Company H. Both
were set upon by a large number of
rebels who succeeded in bayoneting
the captain through the mouth and
cheek and otherwise seriously wound
ing him, until he fell, and only by the
most daring and heroic execution of
young Recor was he seized and borne
beyond the reach of the bloodthirsty
enemy, and his life saved
Mr. Recor was a native of West
Chazy. n. T., and was sixty years old.
After the war he was a police officer
in Barre, being one OF the first TO serve
in that place.
