M +. Courscf at East Montpelier. had been
broken open, some five hundred dollars worth
of Goods stolen, and that man calling him
self Williams, had been arrested as one of the
burglars. We also remarked that his accom-.
p,ice was Mr.. George Worth, and was still at
large. Mr.. Bradish learned at Topsham that
the name Of Williams was Charles Bagley, and
that Geo. H. Worth had formerly lived in that
town. but now resided in New York, Mr.
Bradish obtained an ambrotype likeness of
Worth from friend in Topsham, and by it
succeeded in discovering Worth in New York
city. He was brought to Montpelier, when
Bagley confessed that he was not the man, and
gave the real name Of his accomplice us George
Davis. stating that the names of Williams and
Worth had been assumed to be used in case of
a detection. And taken into consideration, to.
gether with the evidence Of Mr.. Worths EN-
ployers, and others connected with the Estab
lishment, that he had been there during the
whole time, Worth was honorably discharged
and his-expenses paid.
1t is highly probable that the last story of
Williams, alias Bagley, is ,o'm more correct than
1.-The fret, and that he used the name of Worth,
whom he knew to be out of the State, to give
wrong direction to the pursuit, and thus enable
his accomelice to escape, MIR. Worth resides
in New York city, where he has been employed
for some years, until surprised by the visit from
Deputy Sheriff Bradish on the 10TH 1t was
amply proved to Mr.. Bradish in New York that
Mr.. Worth was innocent, but his warrant re-
quired him to bring the person named and DIES
cribed, whether guilty or innocent. It is learn
ed that these fellows have heretofore used the
name of Worth while employed in their rascal
ly operations in the State.
WALDO. OR LIFE ON THE BoRpER-a Romance
OF the Struggle for Freedom in Kansas--by the
author of :" Marion Herbert. or the Scout of
the Lake is commenced upon the first page
of this weeks paper The tale has been pro-
cured to be written expressly for our columns,
and the thor has had free access to all the
different Histories of Kansas, the Reports of the
Congressional Committee, the discussions in
Congress, &c., &c, and has labored diligently
and untiringly. While there will be enough of
romance to make the tale uncommonIy interest.
ing, it will in no particular devate from
truthful sketch of the unhappy state of affairs
in the Territory.
New FIRE ENaINE.-We last week had an OPP
portuniy of witnessing the effectual operation
of new Fire Engine, which Mr.. James R.
Langdon has recently placed in the basement Of
his extensive FIGURING Establishment near this
village. The force and regularity with which
it works, as well as the great quantity of water
thrown out is surprising, and must prove efec-
tual IN subduing any fire that may occur in it's
vicinity We understand Mr.. Langdon has
caused his hose to he accurately fitted to 60 with
the hose of our Village Fire Companies. so that
in case of an extensive conaagration on this side,
when human nerves and arms shall become
wearied in working our Village Engines. Mr.,
Langdon's Engine can be brought into requisi-
tion and, propelled as it is by water, it will
work, without firing, until the machinery wears
out, or the Winooski ceases it's flow. We sug-
gest that our Village authorities procure addi-
tional hose, sufficient to make this Fire Engine
available in any part of the village.
At the time we witnessed its operation, it was
being used to remove the earth from the bank
near Mr.. Langdon's Mills, and it performed the
work with good effect.
