The ceremony OF disposing Of a con-
demned spy in the English army al
ways follows a definite precedent. The
unfortunate man Is surrounded by a
detachment Of infantry, and after be

is marched off to selected spot and
ordered to dig his own grave. This
done, the tools are taken from him
and his eyes are bandaged. The at
tending chaplain reads portions select
ed from the burial service, and from
the ranks of the escort twelve men are
selected at random by the officer in
charge. These men, having stacked
their own rifles, are led to where twelve
other rifles are awaiting them, six of
which are loaded with blank cartridges.
One of these is handed to each man, so
that no one knows whether the rifle he
holds contains bullet or not and none
can say for certain that the shot fired
by him killed the prisoner. The firing
party then marches to an appointed
position. The commands Present.

form one of the firing party, and many
men have been known to faint away on

CHURCH NEWS.

Rev. A. S. Aliens sermon Sunday
morning concerning the meeting be-
tween Peter and Cornelius and EMIT
led the Crossing of the Pathways
was full of truth and power. The
speaker forcibly impressed upon all
his hearers that there is not moment
in our lives when we are not crossing
the pathways of those around US, and
that our influence for good or evil is
then exerted upon their lives. Also
that a lost opportunity never returns;
and that it should be our desire at all
times ito scatter smiles and sunshine
all along the way" and remember "the
good We all may do while the days are
going by"

Rev. T. R. Curtis preached in the
Methodist Church Sunday night. This
was a union service, but only few
were present on account of the threat
ening storm. The sermon was logical
and interesting, and the minister made
strong statements concerning modern
evils. He said. and no reasonable per-
son can deny his argument, that the
punch bowl that intoxicates is no bet
ter than the bar Of a saloon. that 1t is
as wrong in the sight of God to play
cards for petty prize as to bet on the
races. The truth hurts and no one
likes to be told of his wrongs, yet it
is a preachers duty to tell us bodily
about our vices, and no minister who
is afraid to tell his people when they

Of Bellows Falls has been appropriated by
him. Norwood was a former guardian of
Mrs Towns and the estate has never been
settled. Two civil suits are now pending
in the county court brought by q. A.
Weston, administrator One is against tho
United States Fidelity &c Guarantee COM
pany of Baltimore to recover $1,000 on tho
company's bond to f.. A. Norwood. and
one for $500 against II. d. Ryder on bond
given by him to secure court costs in an
appeal.
The Bond company has filed a bill in
chancery and secured an injunction
restraining Mr. Weston from further
prosecution of his suits at the present
time. and the company will endeavor
to show that Mr.. Norwoods original
bondsmen, G.. b. Wheeler, +. G. Pierce
S. Il. Coy, G. b. Allbee and G.. A.
Weston are the parties who should
make good such losses to the Towns
estate as the suit against the company
alleges.

ceedings developed wnen G. NJ. Yves
ton ana James A. Williams were sum-
moned to Newfane to appear before
the grand jury. The grand jury in
quiry was instituted by Attorney Cen
eral Fits and Norwood has been in
dicted for embezzlement.
Mr.. Weston states that when Mr.,
Norwood left Bellows Falls he tried to
get him to resign the handling OF the
Towns estate but that Mr.. Norwood
saw relatives of Mrs. Towns with the
result that he did not resign. When
he left Bellows Falls the Bellows
Falls Canal company was owing the
estate $4,000 portion OF the purchase
