The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, April 16, 1886 General State News 4/16/1886 (About half a column is devoted to Gov. Samuel E. PINGREE's Proclamation of Saturday, April 26th, as Arbor Day. RHB) Six hundred willow shoots have been shipped from Castleton to Wyoming, where it is hoped they will grow. Henry RICE, 85 years old, one of Newfane's oldest residents, was killed, last week, by falling down a cellar-way in his house. CATS & BUNKER have had seven writs served upon them for damages resulting from the fatal explosion of the boiler in their mill at North Wolcott. St. Johnsbury wants to raise $5,000 for the soldier's home, but doubts as to the legality of such an appropriation have delayed the vote by the town. James W. MARSHALL of Waterbury was killed at the Boston lumber-woods, last Friday, by the falling of a tree. He was 58 years old and leaves a widow and six children. The severest flood since 1869 visited Barre, last week. Many cellars were flooded and stone walls were carried away, while one man was carried over a dam but came out all right. Mrs. N. P. SWEET of Richford is under arrest, charged with cruelly beating a little girl she took from the alms-house to care for. An investigation shows that she unmercifully whipped the child many times, stuffed her mouth with rags, bound her and used a whip over her feet, crippling her for life. Otis STANDISH of West Randolph has invented a detachable horse-shoe. It clasps on the foot using no nails and perfectly protecting the hoof from injury. It can be put on or removed by simply driving in a steel wedge. The matched game of pool played at Plattsburgh, N. Y., Thursday evening of last week, between M. F. DOYLE of that place and J. H. TRACY of St. Albans, for $200, resulted in a victory for DOYLE by a score of 21 to 18. Oscar HODGE found a yearling sheep in Harrison DODGE's woods, in Morrisville, recently, that had been foraging there all winter. It proved to be one of DODGE's flock that was missed last fall. The sheep was looking well. Rev. T. F. STEWART of South Burlington died, suddenly, last Thursday, of heart-disease. Mrs. E. A. MATHEWS was seriously injured, by a runaway accident. While driving, her horse was frightened by a bicycle, and ran off the sluiceway, throwing her violently to the ground. (Partially mouse chewed.) Fifty woolen operatives have left Winooski for North Adams, Mass., where it is said they have obtained employment. One hundred striking workmen in J. H. GATES & Co.'s cotton mill at Burlington have gone to Lowell, Mass., to get work. The case of the united States against Edson W. BADGER of St. Albans was heard before United States Commissioner JOHNSON in Burlington, last week, the action being for counterfeiting silver coin. It is claimed that the crime was committed at the fair of the French Catholic church at St. Albans, last November, when nine silver dollars, two half dollars,and a five-cent piece, all spurious, were passed. A resident of Burlington recalls the fact that about 30 years ago a boy named Orville BURBANK, who was considered a visionary fellow, had a string running between his father's house and shop in that city, with tin boxes attached at either end and so arranged that conversation could be easily carried on by the contrivance. The boy died soon after, but thus he undoubtedly solved, in a rude manner, the problem of the telephone. The late I. G. CHANDLER of Brattleboro bequeathed $1,000 to the Methodist church there, and in a codicil, later $1,000 more, in case of the failure of certain other bequests, and also the residue of his estate if any there should be after paying debts, expenses, and other bequests. it is regarded, however, as very doubtful if the church will get anything from the will, as there are $3,500 legacies ahead of it, probably enough to exhaust the estate. Thaddeus FAIRBANKS, the Nestor of American inventors, died at his home in St. Johnsbury, Monday, in his ninety-first year. up to the first day of April he was in his usual good health and spirits, possessing a keen intellect and an unclouded memory. On that day he had the misfortune to fall in his porch and fracture the thigh bone of his right leg. The injury was a severe one, but he might have survived it for some months had not gangrene set in and terminated his life. In the case of E. R. HARD's injunction against the city of Burlington, restraining the mayor and city treasurer from paying any money under resolution passed by the board of aldermen in the fore part of February, Chancellor TAFT has rendered a decision modifying the bill, so as to permit the payment by the city of all the bills for lighting the streets (here the mouse has carried away a portion--but it looks like there was lighting during a carnival and Mr. HARD is objecting to the city paying for lighting during this event. Makes me think of the bruhaha going on now with the city lending money to the Telecom Co. RHB) (There was an explosion of a boiler in a blind factory at Brattleboro. R. A. BROWN's horse was killed, apparently in a barn 260 feet away. RHB) The roofs and windows of dwellings near the factory were broken by the debris. the boiler struck within a few feet of two men who saw it coming through, but were spell-bound and unable to move. The loss is $3,000; cause of explosion unknown. An officer from Clarenceville, Canada, went to Richmond, Wednesday of last week, to look after a horse-thief, who had stolen a horse some two weeks ago in Canada. While talking, the man driving the stolen horse came through the village and was recognized by the officer. he was driving toward Hinesburg. Constable R. M. CONANT jumped on horseback and overtook him at the J. L. MASON farm-house took the horse by the bits, and the fellow jumped and ran into MASON's pasture. CONANT jumped on to his horse, ran him down, and dropped on him and took him back to Richmond village, where he is at present. He is a young man about 20 years old.

The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, April 16, 1886 Sherburne 4/16/1886 Herbert L. BATES is canvassing, this bad traveling, and is making good wages selling an article to cook griddle cakes. Fred SPAULDING recently had an attack of rheumatism which deprives him of work, but was able to ride to see the doctor at Bridgewater. Elisha ORCUTT is quite poorly, this spring, being troubled with his old complaint--heart disease. He sent for Dr. BRIGHAM, last week. The cry of a poor sugar season will soon pass off, as some people are compelled to boil all night to save their sweet, being short for storage. It is reported that we have three or four ministers in town, visiting and preaching. It is said they come from the north part of the State, and belong to the Advents or Seventh-day Saints. The lumbering business is a little dull, just now, on account of bad roads, though Frank TOWNE has got his steam power in motion and the wheels and gearing run smooth and lively.

Pansies are one of the first flowers to plant in the spring. They will bloom in snow and freezing cold weather. I put them out many times (in Jamaica, Vermont) in March if I can find them. They also will bloom late in the year into November and December, as they reseed pretty freely.

John HANLEY, jr., had his right hand caught, last Saturday, by the cylinder of a threshing-machine, and badly injured, while threshing at the barn of S. W. POWELL, in Jericho. At St. Johnsbury, last Thursday, united States Marshal HENRY arrested Frank LIBBY, for making a false affidavit to pension papers, and took him to White River Junction for a hearing. Enoch WATSON of Braintree, aged 17 years, committed suicide, last Friday morning, by shooting.  He fastened his gun to a tree, aimed the gun at his throat, and pulled the trigger with his toe. John HAYES, a Brattleboro baggage-master, fell from the top of his train while it was on the bridge at Millers Falls, mass., last Saturday morning, into the river, 72 feet. He was rescued slightly injured. As John MANGAN was going down the back stairs of the Park View house, Fairhaven, Saturday evening, a small boy known as "Silver" jumped on his back to ride down; but MANGAN lost his balance, and both went down headfirst, breaking MANGAN's wrist and cutting a gash in the side of his head.  "Silver" was only bruised a little. The Grand Trunk railroad is now an equal owner with Gov.

Later--Postmaster ADAMS says that this is a lie, but we publish it to show that others besides the TRIBUNE lie. Harmon N. TRACY of Essex, who lives a short distance from the junction, died, Saturday, from the effects of wounds inflicted by an infuriated bull. Mr. TRACY was passing through the lot where the bull was kept, when the brute charged upon him from the rear, and, being almost totally deaf, the unfortunate man knew nothing of his danger until attacked.  he was badly bruised and mangled, and lived but a short time.  Mr. TRACY was one of the best known farmers in Essex.

During the trail several prominent Rutland physicians testified that Duncan in their opinions was insane when he did the shooting and in answer to the long hypothetical question propounded to Dr. Wasson of the state asylum at Waterbury, who was the state's expert, he said he considered the man insane. There was never any claim made that Duncan is insane at the present time, but all the officials connected with the case agreed that he should be placed under observation for a period of time.
