Some weeks ago we announced the

us crime arc given by Mr. L. B.
vstins, of that town, who we think

tracts from a private letter. Mr. Hight
merly lived in Albany, Vt Mr.

re living on a farm that Mr. Hight

re babicst one about two years old,
other a few months old. The par-
that found the bodies went into the

oldest was tied up in a chair, the

ber of responsible men, who Lave en
gaged scions of him. We could see no

The postage on all second-class matter
is two cents per pound.
Periodicals bound in boaid, cloth,
leather or other substantial binding.
such as distinguished printed books for
preservation from periodical publications,
cannot pass in the mail at pound rates.
The limit of weight to four pounds is
waived in the case of a single book
weighing more than that limit Circu
lars can be addressed, dated, signed and
typographical errors corrected in writing,
and the postage will be one cent for each
two ounces, instead of one cent for one
ounce as heretofore. Proof sheets and
corrected proof sheets, and manuscript
copy accompanying the same, may be
sent in this mail at the rate of one cent
for each two ouces. (This provision doe3
not admit manuscript unaccompanied by
the proof sheet.) There may be placed
upon the cover or blank leaves of any
book, or any printed matter of the third
class, a simple manuscript dedication or
inscription that does not partake of the
nature of a personal correspondence.

by the word "from," and there may also
be written or printed the number and
names of the articles enclosed ; and the

Francis E. Hayden, of Fitchburg,
Mass., was arrested Saturday morning,
on a complaint charging him with poi
soning his sister, Sarah E. Hayden, on
the second day of May, and alleging
that he mixed white arsenic with the
food and medecine of his sister on that
day, so that she died on the following
day. The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Young Hayden's father, Ebenezer C.
Hayden, died April 10, and his mother
April 16, both after a sickness of a few
days. His sister was sick only a few
hours, and complained of no pain, but
could not breathe. An autopsy was held
on her body, and portions of her stomach
sent to Dr. Hills, of Boston, for an
analysis. The arrest was the result of
this analysis. Hayden's father's prop
erty amounted to about $8,500. but the
daughter held notes against the estate
for money advanced to pay the expenses
of young Hayden at the Boston Univer
sity, so that the latter's share would be
less than $2,000. The bodies of Mr.
and Mrs. Hayden are now to be exam
ined for traces of poison.
Instead of taking the President at his
word and trusting to him to sign a rea
sonably and properly restrictive bill on
the subject of the use of the Army, the
Democrats still keep the whip in hand,
affect to disbelieve in his sincerity of
purpose, and engage in their old enter
prise of coercion as though they believed
they could delude him and the country
into the idea that they were not hamper-
his freedom of action. This game
is becoming tiresome, and the time is
not distant when a protest will be
made which will bring even those who
are deaf and blind to their senses.
At the annual meeting of the Ander-
