BUMBLE-BEE COTT0N. - Townsend s.

species Of cotton, in manner thus desert

He was travelling a few days ago from

passed through section of country where
the land was entirely sterile, the cotton be-
ing only few inches high. An overseer
was sitting on the seat before him.
why. what do you call this?' asked
Glover.
why, that's cotton
'Cotton!' he asked again in surprise
Yes, new kind of cotton sent out by
the Patent Office
This was matter of interest to Glover,
so he opened his eyes wider
What is the name of this new kind of
cotton?
The bumbie-bee cotton quietly remark
ed his companion.
why that name?'
Because it grows small that humble
bee can sit on its tail and suck all the bios
SONS without moving!'
All hands broke into loud laugh, and
Glover acknowledged himself sold.

BUTTER.-For the month ending May
18th there has been shipped from the
railroad station in this village the large
quantity of 247, 04s pounds. Any one
good in figures can readily tell how many
tons of butter are thus sent from one sta
ton in Franklin County in one month,
and that too before the green grass ap-
pears.
OF the above amount B. +. Rugg, has
sent 1912 tubs, weight, $500 lbs.
We should think the farmers Of Nor
them Vermont would be selling out their
farms and going West to get into a more
fruitful region of country. The average
price of Butter for the month past, which
of course is all new, made this Spring, is
about % cts. per pound. A pretty little
sum of money to come into the County in
one month at that rate, for 247, 048 lbs.
of Butter, to say nothing of the thou
sands of dollars for the other products of
this cold and barren portion of the world !
Surely this is a poor country to live in ! J

SHOOTING AFFAIR IN BAKERSFIELD.
The quiet town of bakersfield was
startled by one of those occurrences on
last Saturday night, which are becoming
quite too common in our country. The
facts in the case, so far as they have come
to our knowledge at the present writing.
are the following: In the east part of the
town a man by the name Of Solomon
Stebbings had for some cause become
obnoxious to a portion of his neighbors,
and on Saturday night several men and
boys, armed with guns, tin pans, horns,
and similar instruments of music, having
a quantity of the ardent with them, as
sauled the house, broke in the windows,
fired their guns into and around the house,
in which Mr.. Stebbings and his family
resided, accompanying their attack with
the shoutings and Rawlings usual on such
occasions, till near midnight, when Mr.. S
fired from his window a gun heavily
charged with shot, among those upon the
outside, and with fatal effect. A youns
man named Perley Childs, a son of on,
his neighbors, some Is or 10 years old
had his right arm completely severed
and some of the shot pierced his body
which terminated fatally on Sunday last
Others of the rioters were injured, bu
none seriously except young Childs.
Mr.. Stebbings was arrested on Sun
day, and gave bail for trial, which is t,
take place on the 18th inst. As nigh
be expected, the excitement produced b,
such a tragical occurrence, is very great
and any expression of opinion as TO tn
. guilt of the parties would be prematur
at this stage of the case. No doubt tn
whole affair will receive a thorough lega
investigation, as it should. 1t is indeed
sad occurrence, and one to be thorough
deprecated by the whole community

Destructive Fire IN Rutland.

At about eight o'clock on Friday eve
ming last, fire broke out in the barn in
rear Of, and belonging to the American
House, on West ST., in this village, which
was destroyed, together with the Ameri-
can House, and the two buildings ad-
joining on the east and west sides.
At present, it is impossible to give any
thing like correct statement of the loss
es occasioned by the fire.
Mr.. James Barrett-who owned the.
building on the west side of the Hotel
valued it at $4,000. Insured for S1400.
Mr.. Barretts building was occupied as
dry goods and grocery store (Union)
by Division 189. Insurance on their
goods we understand is S2400. Loss in
goods destroyed by fire and damaged by
removal, not ascertained, but is considera-
bic.
The insurance on the hotel and furni-
ture, owned by A. Dyer, is said to be
$4,000. Most of the furniture was saved,
though much of it in damaged state.
The furniture of Col. ]. M. Putnam
keeper of the :" American" was insured,
and partially saved we understand,
however, that he loses property, not in
sured, to the amount of about $1,000.
The first story of the building east o.
the Hotel was occupied by S. G. Staley
stove dealer. Goods all saved. The up.
per story was occupied by A. Dyer, as 8
residence. Furniture saved in a tolera
bly, good condition. Insurance on the
building, said to be $500.
The dwelling house of Mr.. H. T. Dor.
rance, standing Immediately west of tbs
" Union Store" was with difficulty saved
from the flames the furniture mucl
damaged.
Two horses, and several hogs wer
burned with the barn belonging to tn
hotel.
Fortunately, there was little or n
wind, or the fire probably would hav
been much more extensive. 1t is sup
posed to have been the work of an in
cendiary. Two or three men were sus
pected, and arrested.
> About fifteen minutes previous to tn
e breaking out of this fire, some person Sc
