Xheband accompanied the azoBraloBlata, playing fra quently and glvingtha very beal aatlafac uon. A ball tfanic was phured durina the day between the Montpelier aml Barre teaBM. the latter wiiininu bv a si-ore of seven l to two. The day was tliorouyhly enioyed, aml the only thlng that occurred to lesseu j Ihe plea.su re of the festivilies was the sad acciuenl to John Cayhue, wholoat his right foot by helui run over at Essex Junonon on the wa.v to the BprlngB. He had left the traln, with many others, for a few ininutes, and the cars were in rapid motloU when he attemptad togat on agmin, The platform w a crowded, and he missed his hold, fall- Ing so that the trncks of the last car passed over his right ankle. He was immediately taken t.' the Central house, where Dr. c. M. Perrtn .f Ksaox Junotion ampatated the inub hall way between the foot and the knee. It is said ihe same leg was broken in two places at Ihe Barre iiuarries aboul a year auo. The unfortiimite inan endured the operation bravely, and on the next dav he was brouirhl home. Since then he has been dolng well. BOHB time BgO complaint was made that the boya were abootlng blrda wltb airguna formere wanton aport, The attentlon of the yountjsters was called at the time to tha law iinposing a llne of S10 for intentionally ahootlBgoi wounding blrda, or deatroylng them in any other way, aml the boya were warnc.l not to violate this law. Complaint is BSBln made of this wanton killing of birds. A lad was recentl.v OBUght with a dead blrd the trophy of his brutalsport iuhishamls.

A lkttkk from Montpelier to the llnst,,,, UeTald ol last Sunday contains soine facis regardlng the beariog on Mrs. Fanny M. Kellogg's will which had not been 'puh- lishe.i. The Oerald aaya : " It U generally supposed that the ehai s of the town for receiviim the .'(HI,IHHI or s;mm I.IM m which Mr. and Mrs. Kellogg left to executors lo be ex- pended iu buflding a Ubrary bulldlng, a ohapel at Green Mount oemetery, and au or- nameiital jjateway at the eBtTBBOa to tlm cemetery are pretly small. The evidem sublnitted before Surronate Itaiisoin wonld, as reported, giva that impression. But there la another alde to the case. The lact that John K. I'arsons, one of the ablest lawyors of New York, has accepted the case in hi-half of the town, is iu itself some Bvtdence that Ihe will will be sustained. It is true that the tesiiinony of the two wit nesses to the will w as lo the ctlcct that they Were BOt aware that they were wilnessinir a will, and that they believed Mrs. Ki-IIokk was not iu a OOBdiuon to muke a will al that lime. Itui tlie testiinoiiy of II. H. Camman, Mr. Kallooff'a business . . . c . - . i iiiiiii of ihe bigheat business aml personai I atandlng, la in dlreot oontradlction, He sanl that -Mr. Man, thc lawyer who had draw n UP the will, w as ohliged to lake a train to his home. Mr. Man a. cordiiiLdv gave lustructions to him rearliug the exe i OUtli n, and left. These iMtrUOtloni he (ol lowed, Mrs. Kellogg, so Mr. Camman says, came from the rooin without anv BBBlatanoe and algned the will The wilnesseH YoBBg. clerk of Ihe Chelsea aparliuent house, and Dr. Townseml, Mra. Kelloair's phyalolBB teatlfled that she caine into the iooin as sisted bv the latter. The KvtntnQ f"ft re porl had it that these two witneHses said that Mrs. KellogB si(.'ned the will while she was propped up in bed, Mr. Camman alao taatinad that Dr. Towuend told him at the time that Mrs KellOBg was OOmpetBUl to uiake a will. The drift of Mr. Caininan's lcstiinonv was that the will was properly and lcnuUv execuled, aml that Mrs. KiiIIou'k was iu a OOBdltlOB to uiake a will. The Kvtning i't again said that tha lurrogata Intimated that, UBlaaa further teatlmony was prodm ed iu behalf of the will, he would reject it. This stateinent is denicd. The aurrogata simpiy authorlaed the taklagol icsuuiony iu Diouipeiier, n necessary, be fore Ihe court couveues again in lli toher. At that time it Is expected that more teaU BJOnj in luppOTl of the will will be olTered. It is hy no means linprohable that even tually Ihe towu will receive the legacy juat as It was hequeatl'ed." Prlsoneri Break tM. Konr prlapnara broka jaii early Bnnday mornlBg and ael the viltage in oonatderable exciteineiit. Thelr namefl are William Jen kins of Barre, J. M, Weaver of Warren, Peter Artnoor of Barre aad Joaeph Batb orna of Waahtngton. Weaver, it will be remembered, is ihe horaathlai who gave Deputy-aherlff Beatb aucb a deaperate BgBt a few weeks since. He was at the hottOB of the business; the others seein to have been (rlghteBed into Baalatlng him. All were awaitlns trlal thia fail. The .lis- i iivery of the llight of the birds was Inade before the last one had left the yard, but they all aucceeded in gettlng oni of town It secms that another prlsoner had been brought in at aboul ball past elevaa o'clock. At this time the others appcared to he in thelr OBlla asleep, but the fact was they were jery mucb awake. Bharifl Dudley says he had fallen asleep, when his Wlfe, a few minutea after twelve o'clock, Woke him up, aaylag that there was a uoise OQtslde, which she thoinrht dUB to the arrival of a prisoiier. Mr, Dud ley went to the wimlow aml discovcred a man in the yard. He aboUted OUt to him: "What are you dotBg there? Gel out of that, or I will put k DUllet thTOBgfa you." Thc man Bgread wlth Mr. Dudley that it was hetter to gn, aml he went like a tlash. The sherilT then went to the main rooin of thc jail, to see if averythlng waa all right. Re saw at once how' thiiiKs Itood. Two hars aml a cross-bar hail been sawed off at Ihe second slory wimlow next the ilungcoii, making a bole twelve by fourteen and one- balf lachea. aad tbrongh thla hole the mea had made their cscape. Mr. Dudley at once blew his whistle to call nssistailce, aml this falltag to brlBg any one, he tired four shots from his revolver. Soon others arrived on tha scene. and some one rangthebell, In a short time a large crowd appeared, aml thc cxcitement rau high. SherilT Atherton was teh phoned, and hy good luck he OBUght a freight train, which brought him to the Junotion in an hour and Bva minutea from the time Bi which he wius telephoned. The otticers set to work at once to track the pris oners from thr jail. The footpriuts plalaly showed that tiie men had headed for the Junotion. When the train from the south arrived it was lcarned that the engineer of the south-bound train had found two men on the cow-i alcher of his engine at Bethel. When he ordered them oll, they Inquired how far it was to White Uiver JttBCtioB. Rare was a clue, aml at quarter-paat ten o'clock SherilT Atherton startcd for that place on u freight train. Meanwhilc db patches had been sent to various points, in forming otticers of the cscape. Tliroughout the forenoOD there was a crowd iu front of thc jail looking at the wimlow througb which the men had irawled. The two bara, each of which had been CUt in two places, were an InoB and one-sixteenth in thloknaaa, and the cross-bar was three Inohea Wlde and Hve-eighths of au incli thiok. The cut BUrfBCea were very amooth. The cuts had been Qlled up ami coveied with wax or sticking-pluster whBB the lnen were not actually eagaged in sawing. It seeius that the job was nearly ooinpleted tw o weeks ago, for at that time, so Jelikins says, Weaver said he was going out in the day-time. The wa.v the cscape was inade was by rolllng up blanketa and puttiag them iu the bed of Annour's cell in such a way that one would BUppoae the bed was OCCU pied. Armour went Into Jelikins' cell. AbOUt ten Mr. Dudley, as iisual, aaaac into the. roqm to see that all was right. The lnen all appeared to be in their beds. Think ing all was right. he turued the BWltoh which locks the cell doors, and went out, But L switcli had beeu "doctored." It onl not work, aml the men were free to play their gaiue, which they did a few ininutes after twohe. The "arrest of I Ihe prisoners on the same day was diie to i the dispatches sent out, and especially tothc ueouuon ami taoi oi Bnarm Atnertoa. xna latter captureil Jelikins and Armonr a short distancc this side of Hartford brldge lietween three and four o'clock in the afternooii. The lnen were wulking along the track, and had stepped into some bushes to let the train pass. The sherilT knew ai Once that they were the men. Wisely t.dl iug the COndUCtOr not to ItOO his train, he kept on till he reached Hartford, from which place he startcd back aloiie. Comlng to Ihe house of all acipiaiutance, he ex plalaed matters to thc latter, and the two went up the track. It seems Ihe men were lying in some bushes near the track and ClOae tO BOme WOOda. Bharifl Atherton aml thc friend at tirst iasscd them, but looking back, the former saw a hat iu the buahea. Soon they came on the men lying undcr thc trees, with their coats otT. SherilT Atherton spoke to t' em ahout going to work, aml at the same time he looked into thc pockets of the coats, to see if he couhl identify the men by lcttcrs. Surc enough, there was a letter aihlrcssed to .leiikins at the Montpelier jail. This more of thc aberiff did not aeem to be obaerved by thc men. Tbea the aherilT said he was looking for a couple of men who had run away from Chelsea, and he tbought they were thc men. They denicd having oome from chelsea-, lmt luomltted to belag Iroaed. Bharifl Atherton took his priaoaera to Ihe Junotion, where they had BUpper, and there he told thein that they were waated at Montpelier. The group returaed on the lale night train, aml once more Jcu kius aml Armour were iusidu thc Washing ton couuty jail. In thc course of the after nooii it was lcarned that Weaver had been arreated at Essex Junotioa aml Hatborne at liichliiond, Weaver having been taken to Burlington. Accordingl.v Messrs. Ather ton und Dudley went to those places oll Monday inorning aml rctiinicd w ith them at BOOB. luilc a crowd greeted the otticers and their prisoners at thc station aml fol- lowad them to ihe jail. Weaver and Hathorne had taken the late train from the south at Waterbury, and were rccognizcd at Ihe latter place. SlierilT Atherton was Informed by telephone, and by his direotion a maaaage was aant to Es BBX Junotion to have au ofBoai at the sta tion when the train arrived. Deputy harlff Warren Nichols uh on hand, und as thc COnduOtOT pointed out Weaver to him, he took thc horse-thlcf into OUatody, Tnrniug him over to some trainineu, thc otlicer soughl Hathorne. The latter, how ever, had mauaged to get aw ay aml hud atruok for tbe WOOda. Kor several luuirs he remaiued there. and then startcd toward Hichiuond. When ucar the Uiclnuoml liue, in thc middle of the aftcrnoon, he oatne UpOB soine boys and youug BMB who were plBJ ing hall. Iu a jokiug w ay, they asked li i in if he was not one of Ihe prisoners who aecaped from thi Montpelier jail. Reavi- daBtly took them seriollsly, for he starlcd away on thc run, with some of the youug men, who now saw how tblagl stood, after bim. Uthers went for an otlicer, aml iu a short time thc man was secured. Weaver waa taken to Burlington early Sunday fore nOOB. BlnOB Jenkiai returned to thc jail ho has lalked frcely ahout the way the hars were cut. A llne sleel saw, with arohad hamlle at the back, waa us.-d. It was evhlently made espe cially for the purpose of cutting prison hars. Weaver said 1 1 found it in thc ven tilator of his cell, but very likely he lilin self had plaoed il there. He does uot seein to have been very frlendly aml ooafldential Wlth hi fcllow-prisoiiers, for, on oue 00 OBalOBi he thrcateued lo cut the throat of any of them who should tell on him. Ho rcmurkcd that ba would do this If he did noi aee the Informer agaiu for Bfty yaara. He is a toiigh character. Slncc his rearrcst he has been shackled. At BOOB ycsterday he was taken to Windsor for sufc kecping hy SherilT Atherton. Au intercstiug fact iu cou neclioll with Ihe escape was that oue day last week Mr. Dudlcy's daughter entereu thc corridor to tell Weaver that some oue wiahed to see him. Weaver was at Ihe w in dow, aud h. refused point hlauk to OOBU down, all the time looking steadily at Mrs. Emery. The latter did uot auspect that anything ItnUBUal was going on, however. Weaver al Ihat time had the saw under a towei. The remarkable thlng ahout the Whole alTair WBB thc arrcsl of Jelikins aad Armour so soon after the escape. With a start of Blae boUM on the heriff. they were oaughl wlthln aixteen hours of the time they lefl the jail, aml this uol w ithstamliug thc fact thai Bharifl Atherton had nevei aeerj tha men before. Bharifl Barton of Burlington thinks it beata tha statc's record, Montpeller's Necdii Kditorqfthe Watchman :- With so many aleganl realdBnces, coramodiona publlc bnfldlagB, ohurchea of modern raould, thc hcst hand in Ihe state, postal accommodu- ttoBB. ohanaiBg scenery, aplaBdid watar anpply. well llgbted atreeta, etc, it aeemi at tirst liki' oriticiaiag an approxlmation loward perfectlon in calling BttentlOB to the Baeda of Montpelier, and of oourae, readers beyoml Ihe circlc of our village w ill so umlcrstand these lcttcrs. A village is the visihle aml eonerete axpfeaalofl of the peraonallty of its InbabltaatB. Cowper says that "Qod made thc country, but mau made Ihe town," aml botfa inakiTs BXprsaB thamaelvea in their work. The man who found a city of brick and left It a city of iuarblc expressed hnm h' iu the form aml quality of tbe new surroundings, aml men are doing thla thc world over, from Ihe tuidst of a circlc of Indian teuta all up througb the grades of civili.atioli to the poliahed aml aymmetrlcally abaped liaea of a oathedral. Byroo, perfecl in avary other way, had one ileformed foot. Now it would ba manifestiy nnjnst laapeaklagof Byroo to exblbil that foot as representing the whole man. It will be iiuilerstood that these letters oonoarfl only tha deforined foot of Montpelier, if she has one. Thc daapaat QOedl of the village may be mel bv cultivating a spirit which shall de- j maad their anpply. They can he met in no I other way. The yOBBg men inust have j tastes heyond the street corners and the aalOOBa before a Y'oung Meli's Christian Association rooin, cheerftilly lighted and thoroughly furnished with the best litcr i ature of tlie day, can successftilly compete , w ith the street corner and the saloon. We need such a rooin, but we DQUBt have a de I mand for it on the part of those for Whom it is tnteaded before It can beaaucceaa. In Brattleboro, St. Johnabury, Rutland, Bur- i lington and other places it is a success, and shoul.l tie herc.

One is reminded of thc lacouic oritloiam Abraham Lincoln made oll an essay a gentleman almost forccd him to hear. Hesaid. " Well, if a mau likes that sort of thiag, it is just the sort of thl&g he i will like." This entertainmcut business is I one of thc tocs on the deforined foot of our village. Our Capital hall is by no BMBB1 a paUtoe, aud ahonld uot he exteiisively advertiscd as 1 a model bulldlug for the trauaactiou of pub- lii business. l'erhaps this is Ihe hig toe on that foot. If it is kept in the iutercsts of in frequent gatherings aml short ineetings it, is a grand success, for nohody would wish lo gO there often or stay loBg. It looks all the more uncoinely bcsidc the beautiftil struc turcs rising up all aroiind it. l'erhaps soine benevolent citizcn is al read.v thinklng of giviug the village a pub" lic park. It is just the thing we neud. with walka, tiowers, treee, a fouotalnano a band staml whcrv the evenings could he made a j delight to all gradea of soclety In the com inunity. Our cemetery of course is beauti ful. but it. seems a little out of harinony with the litness of things to a.sk thc dead to provide for the pleaaure of tlie liviag. Yet the ceinctery is the most attractivo place we have. We do not wish it less so, but a park would he a paradise to many a weary worker and an honor to thc villag . What Mr. Williaius has done for Woodstock. Mr. Billings for Burlington aml Mr. Fairbanks for St. Johnsbury soine one will yet do for Montpelier in the gift of a publfo Ubrary. Great praisc is dtie to those who have built up aud sustained tha Ubrary we already possess. It has prepared the way and aided greatly in oreating a taste for the good writing of the age, whic h can not fail to be fully gratilied iu the nearfuttire. Here is another ohBBCe for benevolent action the gift of a beautiful drinking (ouotaia for man and beast, set in lome OOBBpicnool place in the center of the vil lage. But the qneation would ariae, per haps, in soine mind: " Is watcr the popular bevciage amoiig us'.'" Th r. ' tht rnb. Cleanliuesa should be jn t'tmjn nt aml um- verml among us. Bemember, we are only spcaking of that foot. The village as a whole is clcan. To speak of it as other than thia is B libel on oue of the most healthful villagcs in the state. But One has said: " He that is cleau necdeth not save to wash his feet." That is our COBdittoO. The uti- olean foot of the village mnat be waahed. Itisa hig one, perhaps, but the hoard of bealth has it in the hath-tub, aud it will couie out all right. Kccp it right. Thc leugth of the clcaning perloil should uot he govcrned by the death-rate. If thc pig uiust go, let him stay gone. But that pig may uot be thc worst we have to deal with. There are difl'eroiit kinds of pigs. We need tborough, systcnialic work iu thc niatter of clcausing the village, and a rcsponsihle person iu that departuieiit. who shall ba sustained iu his action by the iindivided slrength of publio opinion.
