Colvin Jive feet five inches high, legion, light hair, blue eyes, f40 years old". Manchester, |<i, 1819." Immuuication was copied paHy by newspapers, and £re>}, rjfeal of interest. Be- ping cvcubTtliat followed, back to the year 1812 and town of Manchester, Yer- s in out. Barney Booru, an wld man, had two sons, St phen ami Jesso, aud a daughter, Sarah, wife of Russell Col- viu, a 1 nlf-crazed, half-witted day laborer. iThey were a bad.lot, poor, (atul in doubtful repute for Two miserable hovels ser- for shelter, and a few acres mrrens constituted all their They raised a few pota- jgardcti vegetables. a::d eked mty livelihood by days work iighboring farmers. 1812, Colvin \v s at home. i\c was missing. At first this |;d no remark. I Iowas always absent from diomc sometimes Iks together. But this time he come back. As 'weeks !grbw lonths inquiries began to be imong tho neighbors about the man. There are uo tongues <sip like those which wag in a village. Ope spoke to another. }r/>ent grew. Wonder, like, a ious disease, nllbcted every- honesty" ved the of pine posscssU tobs an but a for the. In A In Jup occasi a tmn for we did n into i made mi&sii for Yanl Ex*di $M body It exist a g proo man Boo an Ecu bad was known that there had long 1 between the old man and boys dgo against Colvin; if. was in that the last time the missing as seen he was at work with the clearing stones from a field, hat a dispute was going on; and Colvin, a boy, son of Russell, dated that his lather had struck his uncle Stephen, and that the other returned the blow, and that then he, the boy, becoming frightened, ran away. Again, a Mr. Jin Id win had heard Stephen Boom, in answer to the inquiry as to where Colvin was, say, "lie's gone to hell, I hope." "Is he dead, Stephen?'' pursued Mr. Baldwin. "I tell you again," replied the man, "that Colvin has gone where potatoes won't freeze." For seven years the wonder grew. Cölvin's ghost haunted every house in Bennington county. There was no known proof that the Booms were guilty, and yet everybody believed it. A button and jack-knife were found, which Mrs. C. believed to have be¬ longed to Russell; dreams, thrice re¬ pealed, were had by old women nnd kitchen girls.and ten thousand stories were iu circulation, Five years after Colvin was mused, Stephen Boom, removed to Denmark, N. Y., while Jesse remained at home. After the former had left some bones wore accidentally found in the decay¬ ed trunk of a tree in his house, and, though all surgeons said to the con¬ trary, it was universally believed that they were part of a human skelton. Of course, then .they must be Colvin's bones. Jcsso was arrested, Stephen was brought back from Denmark and both were held for examination. Al¬ though all the testimony when sifted was found to be worthless, yet two brothers were remanded back to jail, a^d Jesse was worked upon to make him turn State's evidence. The jailer tormented him with suggestions, which his, wife followed up with womanly adroitness. Neighbors helped 1B Beset with proachiiig dud praycrai trae 1 s, ami 7- sermons,' religious con versation and pious diiections.that there was no doubt in auy one's mind but that ^trjplieh'cotAwgteA t\ic infil'Bh* xi i gW to make a dean breast of it and l litis save his body and soul, what wonder that the man confessed, or was alleged to have confessed, that Stephen Boorn did murder Russell Colytn ? On Sept, 3, 1810, the grand jury found, Oj bill of indictment against Stcplien and Jesse Boom for thp mutder of Bussel J Colvin.. Williams Farnswörth testified that Stephen con¬ fessed that he did it, and that Jesse helped him; that they hid'the body, in the .hushes, then .juried it, then dug :t up'.'aint. burned ' it, and then scraped the few remains and hid them in a stump. TJdou' this unsupported evi¬ dence the jury returned a verdict of gffilty againsthoth prisoners, ami they were sentenced, to bo hung on Jan. 28, 1820. And now the men came, to their senses. They asserted their innocence. They said that they had confessed as their last hope. Some compassion began to be fell for them. They might, a.'ter all, be innocent. A peti¬ tion for their pardon was presented to the Legislature. But.it availed "'dy to' obtain commutation of Jesse's sent¬ ence to imprisonment for life. No more. Stephen was to be hanged. Let the reader now turn to another chapter of this strange history. In April, 1813, there lived in Dover, Mc-nmouth county, lsT-. J,k.a Mr. James rollmnius. During that month a way¬ farer, begging food, stopped at the cjoor. Being handy, good-natured, quiet and obedient, homeless, and weak of itclloct, too, he was allowed to stay, lie said his name was Russell Colvin, and that he came from Man¬ chester, Vt. Itfot far from Dover lies tho little town of Shrewsbury, then a quiet hamlet, now invaded .by tho cottages and villas,,of* Long Branch pleasure- seekers. Here lived Tuber Chadwick, brolhor-in. jaw to Mr. I'olhamus, and intimnto with the family. Acoidonlly reading the New York Evening 7W, he met, not with the notice of the Rutland llcrahl, but with an account of the trial of tho Booms. Convinced that the Russell Colvin, alleged to have been murdored, was tho very man living with Mr. Volhamus, he. wrote to the Evening VW a letter, which was published Dec. I), 1810. Upon the arrival of this paper at Manchester; it excited but little at¬ tention. Tlio letter was believed to be a forgery ör a fraud. Jlad not the best pooploiu the town long believed the Booms to bo guilty? Had not one, norhaps both, of thctn, made full confession ? : The bones of the mur- "dored man,, a portion of his coat, his jack-knife.had they not all been found ? Had not an upright Judge made solemn charge that the evidence was conolilsivc, and "an intelligent jury found them guilty, and the Legis¬ lature sanctioned the findings? There was no doubt of their guilt.none whatever, and therefore no befit of a i}. ubt had^hecn given by jury, Chief Justice or Court of Appeal. Mr. Chadwiok's letter was neverthe¬ less taken ;t0 Stephen's coll ami read aloud. The news was so overwhelming that naturo could scarcely survive the shock. The poor fellow dropped in a fainting fit.to the floor, and had to be recovered by dashes of cold water. Intelligence came next day froxi a Mr. Whelpley, formerly a resident of Manchester, that he himself had been to New Jersey ai)d seen Russell Col¬ vin. The members of the jury which had convicted the Booms, however, hesitated to .accept anything short of the man's presence, and Judge Chase, who had sentenced them, pointed to Stephen Boom's confession, Tlic third day came another letter. "I have Rituell Colvin with me," wrote Mt. Whelpley. "I personally know Russell Colvin,'' swore John ICcmpton; "he now stands before me." "It is the same Russell Colvin who married Ann Boorn, of Manchester, Vt.," made affidavit Mrs. Jones, of iSiookln. But it would not answer. Pride, of opinion is ftuhl orh.' J3oubf of opinion dies hard. Manchester in- tclligenecj net to say piety, was on trial, j^fc.'^ behooved all good rosi- t u t. i^mgrlh!¦ r 11.wri p;i; 11fjUri)iy i i.ljon, to the last. However, Colvin,or Oolvin's double, was on his way. As he passed throng l'oughkccpsic the streets were throng¬ ed to sec him: His story was printed in every newspaper and told at every fire side. At Hudson eannous were jircd; in Albany he was shown tu the .crowd from the platform; aud all along' the load lO' Troy bands of;music-' were playing and banndrs- werc flaunt¬ ing and cheers were given as Col yip passed by. Some men become' famous from having been murdered. Russell Colvin was famous becauso he was alive. Toward evening of Friday, Decem¬ ber 22, 1S19, a double sleigh was driven furiously down the main street of Manchester to the tavern door. It contained Whelpley, Kcmpton, Chad- wick, and the bewildered Ruwel 1 Col* \in. Immediately a orowd of men, women and children gathered around, nnd as the sleigh unloaded its occu¬ pants and they took their place on the piazza; exhibiting the last man to view, "That's Ruseell Colvin, sure enough ! T' re's no doubt about it!" came from the lips of scores of gazers, .Ho embraced his two children, asked lifter the Boom, nnd started Jor the jail. The prison doors were unbolted and the news told to Stephen Boorn. "Colvin has; come, Stephen," said tho.Rcv. Lemuel Haynas.-. "lias he?" asked the prisoner. "Where is he ?" "Here I am, Stephen," said his brother-in-law. "What's that on your legs?" "Shackles!" replied Boorn. " "Whatfor?'* "Because they said I murdorcd you." "You never hurt mo in your life," .replied Colvin. The .sequel is soon to'd. Stephen Bödfn was released from prison, as was Jcsso also. Russell Colvin re¬ turned to New Jcr joy. But tho Judge who suffered an innocent man to bo convicted of murder by tho admission of extra-judicial confessions.the members of the jury, who deliberated but ono hour before agreeing upon a verdict of guilty upon evidence that bhculd not hang a dog.tho deacon nnd f hurch members who urged con- fcssion and preached repentance.und tho niiietY-sevr \ members of the Legislature, sit ig as n Court of Ap¬ peals, who ret used re-heuriujjj of evi¬ dence.what became of them ? A Terrible Problem. A recent number of a scientific journal, speaking of the relative pro¬ portion of the sexes in the human race, says Max Adder, declares that for every -150 men that came into,the world, 100 72-100 women are born. I do. not ditpulc these figures. I only a«k for light. It appears, according to this, t hat there arc sonic women who arc only 72-100 of women. What the remaining 28-100 are I cannot ima¬ gine. iN'ow, what I want to know is this : If a woman of this kind marries a 1-100 man and has a daughter, will the daughter lie an 84-100 woman'or a96-100 woman? And what will be the exact relation between Mich a daughter and a 70-100 aunt ami her 87-100 daughters, especially if the 87- 100 girls marry the brothers of the 00-100 girl, and so become hcr08-100 first cousin, but also her 9Ö-100 sister- in-law, the aforesaid 7(5-100 aunt be¬ coming also the 80-100 mother-in-law of the 88-100 nephews, will the. the.. Let mc see, where am 1 ? It is an awful subject to grapple with. Oh, yes ! I say if the 70 100 aunt -. But no. The question can't be solved in any such way as this. I give it up. Tho only way to get at it will be to do the sum in algebra somehow, making the daughter x, the aunt y, the first cousin a, and the mother-in-law b. Then it scorns to,me, if you multiply theauntby thedaugh- tur and divide thi "first cbu'slon by the, mother-in-law,' iii; some )Vny Or ''oVhcr,'. or ext ra ct the square root of the- con- si ril and subtiaet the result fro.n tue aunt, keeping the daughter a common <lpnon^;itnr| nml at tllO saiUO tilUP make Uec'ima'il iractian ot tno'nufflrer^' in-htw, perhaps ' the result might bo satisfactory.

was known that there had long1 between the old man and boysdgo against Colvin; if. was inthat the last time the missingas seen he was at work with the
clearing stones from a field,hat a dispute was going on; andColvin, a boy, son of Russell,
dated that his lather had struck
his uncle Stephen, and that the otherreturned the blow, and that then he,the boy, becoming frightened, ran
away. Again, a Mr. Jin Idwin hadheard Stephen Boom, in answer tothe inquiry as to where Colvin was,say, "lie's gone to hell, I hope."
"Is he dead, Stephen?'' pursuedMr. Baldwin.
"I tell you again," replied the man,"that Colvin has gone where potatoeswon't freeze."For seven years the wonder grew.
Cölvin's ghost haunted every house inBennington county. There was noknown proof that the Booms were
guilty, and yet everybody believed it.A button and jack-knife were found,which Mrs. C. believed to have be¬longed to Russell; dreams, thrice re¬
pealed, were had by old women nndkitchen girls.and ten thousandstories were iu circulation,
Five years after Colvin was mused,Stephen Boom, removed to Denmark,N. Y., while Jesse remained at home.After the former had left some boneswore accidentally found in the decay¬ed trunk of a tree in his house, and,though all surgeons said to the con¬
trary, it was universally believed thatthey were part of a human skelton.Of course, then .they must be Colvin'sbones. Jcsso was arrested, Stephenwas brought back from Denmark andboth were held for examination. Al¬though all the testimony when siftedwas found to be worthless, yet twobrothers were remanded back to jail,a^d Jesse was worked upon to makehim turn State's evidence. The jailertormented him with suggestions, whichhis, wife followed up with womanlyadroitness.

found, Oj bill of indictment againstStcplien and Jesse Boom for thpmutder of Bussel J Colvin.. WilliamsFarnswörth testified that Stephen con¬
fessed that he did it, and that Jessehelped him; that they hid'the body, inthe .hushes, then .juried it, then dug :tup'.'aint. burned ' it, and then scrapedthe few remains and hid them in a
stump. TJdou' this unsupported evi¬dence the jury returned a verdict ofgffilty againsthoth prisoners, ami theywere sentenced, to bo hung on Jan.28, 1820.And now the men came, to their
senses. They asserted their innocence.They said that they had confessed astheir last hope. Some compassionbegan to be fell for them. Theymight, a.'ter all, be innocent. A peti¬tion for their pardon was presented tothe Legislature. But.it availed "'dyto' obtain commutation of Jesse's sent¬ence to imprisonment for life. Nomore. Stephen was to be hanged.Let the reader now turn to another
chapter of this strange history.In April, 1813, there lived in Dover,
Mc-nmouth county, lsT-. J,k.a Mr. Jamesrollmnius. During that month a way¬farer, begging food, stopped at thecjoor. Being handy, good-natured,quiet and obedient, homeless, andweak of itclloct, too, he was allowedto stay, lie said his name was RussellColvin, and that he came from Man¬chester, Vt.
Itfot far from Dover lies tho littletown of Shrewsbury, then a quiethamlet, now invaded .by tho cottagesand villas,,of* Long Branch pleasure-seekers. Here lived Tuber Chadwick,brolhor-in. jaw to Mr. I'olhamus, andintimnto with the family. Acoidonllyreading the New York Evening 7W,he met, not with the notice of theRutland llcrahl, but with an accountof the trial of tho Booms. Convincedthat the Russell Colvin, alleged tohave been murdored, was tho veryman living with Mr. Volhamus, he.wrote to the Evening VW a letter,which was published Dec. I), 1810.Upon the arrival of this paper at
Manchester; it excited but little at¬tention. Tlio letter was believed tobe a forgery ör a fraud. Jlad not thebest pooploiu the town long believedthe Booms to bo guilty? Had notone, norhaps both, of thctn, made fullconfession ? : The bones of the mur-"dored man,, a portion of his coat, hisjack-knife.had they not all beenfound ? Had not an upright Judgemade solemn charge that the evidencewas conolilsivc, and "an intelligentjury found them guilty, and the Legis¬lature sanctioned the findings? Therewas no doubt of their guilt.nonewhatever, and therefore no befit of ai}. ubt had^hecn given by jury, ChiefJustice or Court of Appeal.Mr. Chadwiok's letter was neverthe¬
less taken ;t0 Stephen's coll ami readaloud. The news was so overwhelmingthat naturo could scarcely survive theshock. The poor fellow dropped in a
fainting fit.to the floor, and had to berecovered by dashes of cold water.
Intelligence came next day froxi aMr. Whelpley, formerly a resident ofManchester, that he himself had beento New Jersey ai)d seen Russell Col¬vin. The members of the jury whichhad convicted the Booms, however,hesitated to .accept anything short ofthe man's presence, and Judge Chase,who had sentenced them, pointed toStephen Boom's confession,
Tlic third day came another letter."I have Rituell Colvin with me,"wrote Mt. Whelpley. "I personallyknow Russell Colvin,'' swore JohnICcmpton; "he now stands before me.""It is the same Russell Colvin whomarried Ann Boorn, of Manchester,Vt.," made affidavit Mrs. Jones, ofiSiookln. But it would not answer.Pride, of opinion is ftuhl orh.' J3oubfof opinion dies hard. Manchester in-
tclligenecj net to say piety, was on
trial, j^fc.'^ behooved all good rosi-t u t. i^mgrlh!¦ r 11.wri p;i; 11fjUri)iy i i.ljon,to the last.However, Colvin,or Oolvin's double,
was on his way. As he passed throngl'oughkccpsic the streets were throng¬ed to sec him: His story was printedin every newspaper and told at everyfire side. At Hudson eannous were
jircd; in Albany he was shown tu the.crowd from the platform; aud allalong' the load lO' Troy bands of;music-'were playing and banndrs- werc flaunt¬ing and cheers were given as Colyippassed by. Some men become' famousfrom having been murdered. RussellColvin was famous becauso he wasalive.Toward evening of Friday, Decem¬
ber 22, 1S19, a double sleigh wasdriven furiously down the main streetof Manchester to the tavern door. Itcontained Whelpley, Kcmpton, Chad-wick, and the bewildered Ruwel 1 Col*\in. Immediately a orowd of men,women and children gathered around,nnd as the sleigh unloaded its occu¬
pants and they took their place on thepiazza; exhibiting the last man to view,"That's Ruseell Colvin, sure enough !T' re's no doubt about it!" camefrom the lips of scores ofgazers, .Hoembraced his two children, askedlifter the Boom, nnd started Jor thejail.The prison doors were unbolted and
the news told to Stephen Boorn."Colvin has; come, Stephen," said
tho.Rcv. Lemuel Haynas.-."lias he?" asked the prisoner.
"Where is he ?""Here I am, Stephen," said his
brother-in-law. "What's that on yourlegs?""Shackles!" replied Boorn.
"
"Whatfor?'*"Because they said I murdorcd
you.""You never hurt mo in your life,"
.replied Colvin.The .sequel is soon to'd. Stephen

was Jcsso also. Russell Colvin re¬turned to New Jcr joy. But tho Judgewho suffered an innocent man to boconvicted of murder by tho admissionof extra-judicial confessions.themembers of the jury, who deliberatedbut ono hour before agreeing upon a

A Terrible Problem.
A recent number of a scientificjournal, speaking of the relative pro¬portion of the sexes in the human race,says Max Adder, declares that forevery -150 men that came into,theworld, 100 72-100 women are born. Ido. not ditpulc these figures. I onlya«k for light. It appears, accordingto this, t hat there arc sonic women whoarc only 72-100 of women. What theremaining 28-100 are I cannot ima¬gine. iN'ow, what I wantto know isthis : If a woman of this kind marriesa 1-100 man and has a daughter, willthe daughter lie an 84-100 woman'ora96-100 woman? And what will bethe exact relation between Mich a
daughter and a 70-100 aunt ami her87-100 daughters, especially ifthe 87-100 girls marry the brothers of the00-100 girl, and so become hcr08-100first cousin, but also her 9Ö-100 sister-in-law, the aforesaid 7(5-100 aunt be¬coming also the 80-100 mother-in-lawof the 88-100 nephews, will the.the.. Let mc see, where am 1 ? Itis an awful subject to grapple with.Oh, yes ! I say if the 70 100 aunt-. But no. The question can'tbe solved in any such way as this. Igive it up. Tho only way to get atit will be to do the sum in algebrasomehow, making the daughter x, theaunt y, the first cousin a, and themother-in-law b.
