--ExrrNsnr rinr.-On Saturday eve

"A correspondent of the Worcester Pal
iddiuHi, describes a Vermont lody some
where in the vicinity of Windsor, who has
two distinct threats, and It is supposed two
pairs Of lungs. She has a broad chest, a
dainty waist, can sing three hours easier
than she can talk one, and at the age of IL
years could sing two distinct parts at once.
This last accomplishment she has lost
probably for want Of cultivation. Such
doubly provided female can't be called a
SINGLE woman, we take it.
On Saturday afternoon between five
and six o'clock two barns and shed on the
farm of Messrs. Patrick and William O'Neal
about one mile from this village was con-
sumed by fire. The fire originated in a
stack Of hay between the two barns, and is
known TO be the work of an incendiary.-
The barns contained some sixty tons of hay
and quite a large quantity of grain. The
loss of the barns and the contents is esti-
mated at 8 500, on which there was no in
surance. Suspicious circumstances have
led to the arrest Of Frcnchman by the
name of Raino, who had an examination
before Justice Bradley, on Monday last and
was bound up in the sum of $l,000.-T.
