never be abandoned till the principle itself well
abshed the minds ofhe people, Thai they will be
induced 10 abandon it, for any consideration of mere

been made but mournfuy apparent, By the late cleo

Town Election,

AT the annual Spring Election for officers in this
town, held on Tuesday last the Hon. Henry Smith
was chosen Moderator, aud the following officers
were elected:
T6ion Clerk and Treaswer--IAfayette Clark.
lSeloctmen.-Joseph Goodhue, S. f. Goodcnough,
Samuel Earl Jr.
Listers.-Geo Newman, A. Goodenough, l.. Farr
OVerSeer Of he Poor.-Samucl Earl, Jr.
The report Of the Auditors showed among other
things, that there had been expended upon the new
road, leading TO the west village, sl,llO-of which,
81 094 was for the cost Of construction and the bal
nnce for repairs,-that the whole cost to the town
for the support of the poor the last year, s345-
Of which, sl45 paid for the support of the poor
off the farm. The cost Of the poor house farm, in.
Guiding improvements stock, &C., now upon it, is
about s4o00-and the interest upon the cost
amounting to s244-was charged to the expenses
of supporting the poor in the account by which the
sum total for that object was made up.
The economy of a well managed Town Farm fol-
the support of the poor, has been fully proved by
the results of the experiment in this town. From
calculation made by the Selectmen and Auditors
there has been saving the past year in that impor
tant item of town expense, over $500.
The Town is found to be in debt $3.50; and
tax Of 335 per cent upon the Grand List, was
voted for the current year, TO meet liabilities and
expenses and also to make an addition to the
house upon the poor farm.
The Town also voted to take the West River
Bridge at the appraised value, $4,000 and author
lied the selectmen to borrow the money to pay it.
We are happy to say, from information, that tho
money will be paid this week, and the citizens oil
the county, and the public, be no longer subjected
to vexatious tax on crossing the bridge Upon
the payment of the money, the bridge will be free Of
toll.
20 We learn that the money was paid yester
day Thursday, so that the Bridge is now free.

Extensive Strike of Irish LaJorers on The
Northern Railroads.&c. correspondent at North
field, Mass, in a letter dated Monday, sends us
some account Of very extensive and concerted
turnout for higher wages on the part of the
Irishmen employed on the whole line of the VT.
and Mass Railroad, and also on the Cheshire,
Vermont Central, and Rutland roads. 1t took
place simultaneously on Wednesday morning OF
last week.
A few gangs Of men on the VT and Mass.
Road refused to join in the strike, and kept at
work. On Saturday, however, about 800 Of
the others-now become rioters-armed them
selves with pick handles, and commenced their
march from South Orange over the line, with
the intention of clearing ii Of all those who were
willing to work at the former prices. In their
progress, they are throwing the carts over the
cmbankments, breaking other tools, and cutting
up the harnesses of the horses, wherever they
can find them. They also have commenced cut
ting down the derricks on Mr. Carpenters work
in Irving, and threaten TO destroy all the prop
erty of the Contractors that happens in theil
way. The rioters not only force those whom
they find at work as they 60 along to leave Of
at the peril Of their lives but also oblige them t
join them in their march.
Where this will end-says the letter-w'
know not. As yet the property Of citizens ha
been respected by the rioters.
The strike on the Conn. River Road is prob
ably part of this movement. The Greenfield
Democrat of yesterday says the Irish demand

SHOCKING RAILROAD ACCIDENTAL most
distressing accident occurred yesterday at the
crossing of the VT and Mass Railroad, about
half a mile above this village. Mrs Osborn, wife
of Mr. Abram Osborn, and her daughter, wife of
Mr. ]. N. Tolman, of West Sterling, were killed

the Depot at 4 p. M. The circumstances attend
ing this sad and affecting casualty are as follows

Mrs Osborn and her daughter had been to the
village in sleigh, driving the horse themselves
and were returning home, when the horse became
startled and finally unmanageable at the putting
of the locomotive, which was rapidly approach,

ladies upon the track just forward of the engine
and they were instantly crushed beneath il, the

informed that every possible effort was made by
the engineer and those having charge of the
train, to stop it before it reached them, but il
