....Our States Attorney,F. E. WooD-
BRIDGE, thought from the best information
he could get, that poison in fluid state,
and other deleterious luxuries are sold in
our usually staid and sober community too
freely, He lit upon two of the sellers
like bat on a beg-bug, exolaiming in the
language OF scripture; =" have seen the
his habitation. He Disappointed the de.
vices of the crafty. He taketh the wise
in their own crattniness. Theym meet with
darkness in the daytime, and grope in the
monday us in the night They die, even
without wisdom"
G. ". Dustin and Nathan Myrick,
were summoned to appear before the
County Court, to answer for the little hos
FATALITIES bestowed upon some Of our citi-
zens, both black and white, young and
old. Mr.. Woodbridge said in his OPEN
ing, that more than dozen of our towns
men had complained to him of these places,
and he should therefore put fifty counts
into each Indictment The court ordered
each to give bail in the sum of $780,
which after squirming and twisting, was
obtained, and they are still loosa.
....Dr. Warner Smith, healing medi-
UNI, who in o high state of spiritual ex.
element, knocked outrageously at the
windows of the face of an old Lady in
East Middlebury, was permitted to take
the poor debtors oath, and, will be out of
Jail one of these days. 1t is hoped that
this experiment of city life, will make the
Doctor wiser, if not a better man. This
is what would BIO called ga pursuit of
knowledge under difficulties"
....We are having fine run of sleigh.
ing about here just now Wood, lumber,
and shingles are hauled into town, at all
hours of the day. Our merchants, all,
seem to be busy, putting up packages, cut.
ting of dresses, rolling out barrels, taking
in butter, cheese, poultry, hogs, beef
&c., &c.
....It was really amusing to look into
the fancy goods and toy establishments on
the evening before Christmas. Every.
body had about so much money to spend
for gew-gaws, thingum-bobs dolls, and
an endless variety Of Juvenile traps for
the children. We saw bonnets change
hands, after being carefully done up.
Fine gold rings, and beautiful ANNALS
scented with those bewitching perfumes,
that attract forty rods at least. Holton
in Jewelry and watches, Clay in Bonnets
and Ribbons,and Copeland in Fancy Goods
and knick.knacks, were crowded all day
and in the evening, up to the hour of shut.
ting up. Christmas morning witnessed
many early risers among the little folks,
to ascertain what Santa Claus had done
for them. To look at their bright eyes
and nervous little hands as they hauled
out the deposits, was worth all it cost.
The case of the state VS.. John Brown,
for resisting Sheriff Church in the dis.
charge of his duty, while attempting to
arrest Brown, came up and he was tried
and found guilty. His Attorney, L. E.
Chittenden, Esq, took exceptions to the
complaint, which will delay the sentence
until the session of Supreme court, which
will be holden in the latter part of Janu-
airy
....Rev. Mr.. Hall, last Sunday after
noon. gave discourse upon the life and
character of Job. These discourses which
have been continued for some weeks past,
in tracing the rise and progress of Chris.
tinanity, have been received with satisfac.
ton and profit. Next Sunday afternoon,
he will give part of the life and char.
acter of Abraham.
I've wondered on seeing u long
