The Gannett Case.

The trial of the Lithuanians at Wood
stock for murder this week recalls to the
old inhabitants former murder trial in
which Bethel parties were concerned.
In the winter OF 1929, a man named
Jonathan Gannett was boarding at the
home of Horace Bugbee. Mr.. Bugbee
lived short distance below LillieviIle
on the brook road. Gannett was not con-
sidered a very good character, and had
served term in states prison for in
cest. January s, 1853, Gannett went to
get load of hay for Mr.. Bugbee. He
was found dead soon after his return,
upon the barn floor. 1t was at first
thought that he had fallen from the cart
and that his death was the result of an
accident. But there were certain marks
of violence about his head-the thrusting
of pitchfork tine into his eye-that in
Dictated that some other party had a hand
in the matter. An inquest was ordered.
Mr.. Bugbee was summoned on the jury,
put the strangeness of his actions and
some remarks he made led to his removal
from the jury and subsequently suspicion
fastened more surely upon him, and he
was arrested and charged with the MUIR
der of Gannett. He was indicted at the
December term, 1853, of Windsor county
court and was tried at the May term of
the same court and acquitted. The case
attracted considerable attention at the
time.
The state charged Bugbee with the
murder The defense was that Gannett
met his death by accident. A. P. Hunton
ably conducted the defence and was in re-
ceipt of valuable aid from Job Sanders in
looking up and preparing the case for
| trial. The popular opinion at the time
was that Bugbee and Gannett had q
drunken quarrel, as both men were
known to be incorporate, and as result
Gannett was killed. The jury by its YER
dict held to the accident theory.

Granite Notes.

The Woodbury. Granite company have
relinquished the contract for furnishing
stone for the new station at Barre. Their
bid was $50 below the Barre bids. When
Barre granite men learned that Bethel
granite had the contract, they put
up such a kick that the railroad company
asked the Woodbury. company to cancel
the contract. 1t was small job and the
Bethel company was willing to cancel.
The Woodbury. Granite company is
now employing 40 quarrymen and 20 cut
tiers. The cutting force will be increased
next week by the addition Of so more
hands. 1t is expected that the number of
quarrymen will not be increased and that
the present force will be able to supply
The sheds. They now have $4,000 cubic
feet quarried ahead, a large part Of which
is at the sheds. The company struck a
fine vein of granite last week on the older
Fart of the quarry, finding stone nine
feet thick.

despise the paltry prizes that seem so
attractive to eyes blind to the greater
glory. This is the food that angels
envy, food that has sustained the soul
through long days in the deserts,
through WEAKNESS, toll, disappoint-
ments, fears, forsakfngs, losses and
loneliness. They are able to despise the
cross and to endure the shame who
nave seen the glory set before every
worthy life, and leading on every high
path OF service or Of sacrifice. No man
or woman ever attained anything with
out this; nothing is impossible to those
who cherish this light and heed this
call.
Livingstone, Lincoln, Garibaldi, Flor
ence Nightingale would have failed
without the vision. In the rewards of
wage or fame there would be no power
to bear them up, on the contrary their
daily experiences were enough to turn
them from the chosen path, but for the
lofty confidence that they were doing
the one work for them, but for the
inspiration Of the ideal before them.
And this Is any mans religion, to fol-
low his ideal, to seek to be the best that
day by day he knows, to do the highest
duty that any lofty desire indicates, to
take the path that leads up in love, and
service, and purity Of living. The re-
ligious life is the life that moves up
into it's higher self, and so ever finds
new heights before it.
The great question for every man in
religion is, not so much whether he will
obey the ten commandments, not so
much whether he will bend to the die
tate Of church or preacher, but whether
he will be obedient to the inner vision,
of the voice from heaven that speaks in
his own heart and bids him forsake
his dull ways Of self-content and rise
to higher living, to sacrifcial service
That vision calls us to paths of pain,
that vision, if you but heed and seek
to obey, makes tremendous demands Of
you. 1t is not the easy, needless follow
Ing Of an emotional, romantic love for
glory 1t is the thorny path of the cross,
the way Of burden bearing; it is so hard
as to be heroic.
The thing that is eating like canker
into our hearts, and robbing us Of our
power, and stealing our possibilities is
our love Of ease, our hatred of the
things that are hard we refuse to obey
the heavenly vision because to do so
would be to endure hardness, to for
sake our soft and pleasant ways. So
seeking ease we lose life.
Our days are filled with a dull dis
content, not because we do not possess
the things Of this life, but because we
have missed its greatest prize, the joy
Of following growing ideals. There is
nothing we need to cherish more, to
guard more closely than this, the Wis
ions that stir to greatness, the passion
for perfection, the hope Of high living
and serving.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1908-07-24

After this the roots are sent out in
whorls of from two to ten. AS the plant
advances toward maturity, these whorls
rise closer to the surface. The first
roots thrown out Immediately above the
primary roots run sideways and occupy
ten or fifteen inches below the surface.
These lateral roots throw out fibrous or
feeding roots, which run in every di-
rection through the soil and occupy
every inch within radius Of from two
to five feet. 1t is evident, therefore,
that if we plough corn Immediately
after planting, or after it is first up,
we can plough as deep as we like, and
generally the deeper the better. When,
however, the roots begin to rise and
occupy every square inch Of soil within
reach, it will not do TO plough deep.
Our cultivation must, therefore, be linn
tied to the surface, and with the end in
view of killing the weeds and forming
the mulch Of dry dirt which will shut
off surface evaporation, and spread out
the water which is continually rising
from below within reach Of the roots
The older and larger the plant the
shallower should the cultivation be. In
fact, If the ground is we'll prepared,
ploughed deep when there is no dan
ger Of cutting off the roots, the only
thing the farmer needs to do during
the latter period is to maintain the
mulch Of dry dirt On the surface.

An Anecdote of Ellsworth.

There was characteristic incident
in the early life Of Colonel Ellsworth,
the brilliant young lawyer who was one
of the first notable victims of the civil
war. His struggles to gain a foothold
in his profession were attended by
many hardships and humiliating priva-
tons Once finding the man he was
looking for on a matter of business in
a restaurant he was invited to partake
Of the luncheon to which his acquaint-
ance was just sitting down. Ellsworth
was ravenously hangry, almost starv-
ing, in fact, but he declined courteous
", but firmly, asking permission to talk
over the business that had brought him
thither while the other went on with
the meal.
The brave young fellow in telling the
story in after years confessed that he
suffered positive agony at the sight and
smell Of the tempting food.
Il could not in honor accept hospi-
tally 1 could not reciprocate," was his
simple explanation Of his refusal. 81
might starve, but could not sponge"

Adding the number under 81 and over
22-that is, 2,159,799 and 61S,511-the
total enrolment was 2,77S,309. -...
But there are some very old men in
the Grand Army Of the Republic; and
that is all the more reason why the
death losses will be exceedingly high in
the years near at hand. There will
come a time when the last call will be
responded to each month by no less
than 5000 Of the brave heroes Of 81.
for already that figure has been touched
by one-half and over, and is growing
with alarming rapidity.
It requires little argument to support
the statement just made; and if the
reader is of a mathematical turn of
mind let him go to the standard
mortuary tables Of the life insurance
companies and determine for himself
what is the expectancy of life for men
Of the ages set forth.
Here are startling official figures
pointing to the rapid vanishing Of the
