CAvENDIsH.-The tavern stand of AL
fred Walker, last week, at Duttonsyille took
fire, as is supposed, from some one lighting
a match in one of the chambers, and care
lessly throwing it upon the floor (after
lighting a lamp and while yet burning) be-
side the partition. The fire between the
partitions was fortunately discovered in time
to prevent the destruction of the buildings,
go that SIS or $40 will repair all damage.
On Friday morning, the 18th inst, at
about o'clock, small dwelling house
owned by VIM. Smith, Esq, in Cavendish,
and occupied by a Mr.. Witherell, was dis
covered on fire. The house ard contents

A" SHOCKING" INcIDENT.-The Spring
fele Republican says a traveller en- route
for Burlington, stopped at the Nashua hotel
in Worcester on Wednesday night, intend
ing to take the first morning train north.
His lady was first up and went down to
breakfast, expecting her lord to follow with
out delay; but the man fell asleep. While
eating hastily, and scolding mentally at the
hardness of the cOnjugal sluggard, the bell
rang, and rushing frantically up stairs, she
gave him an unceremonious shake, uttering
also slight scream. He heard the bell :

ESS L ne OTeeht -tIOttUtUtH FREEMAN having
quarreled with nearly every Republican pa
per in the State, finally lit upon US last
week like thousand of brick. The Free
man under its present conductor has become
"let 'er rip sort of paper and we sup
pose therefore we must receive our share
of its ripping when its safety valve is
raised. 1t says the TINES "lacks independ-
ence" on the slavery question. The Free
man very often mistakes impadence for in
dependence, and consequently is not a judge
of the article, and we therefore dismiss that
part of the subject. 1t desires that we
should "speak out" and although we might
mot always hit the mark" "the people
would wink at its our sins" Committing
sins for the sake of having them winked at
by the people is species of business in
which we never have, and never shall en-
gage. We leave that to the Freeman. 1t
asks "why this fault finding with whole
souled people?" As we have found no
fault with "whole souled people" it is I'M
necessary for US to answer this question,
Nor has the TIMES ever based its claims to
Anti-slavery principles, because of any ac-
ton of Gov. Hall or the legislature on the
subject 1t stands entirely on its own mer-
its as an independent Anti-sfavery paper.
We have not hesitated to denounce the
milk and water platforms of conventions,
even if adopted by those protesting to be
and we are not afraid to COM
pare our record on the slavery question
with that of any man in Vermont We
were an Anti-slavery many years ago, be-
fore the Freeman had even shed his pin
feathers IN politics, and though we often see
silver grey hunkerism in various degrees,
in some papers which profess to be Repub-
lican, we do not always deem it our duty
to commence personal quarrel for the sake
of having our sins "winked at" The Free
man gives its winking readers to under
stand that we did no. say word about
Anti-slavery Legislation at the last session
of the legislature, and yet we did speak
out" at that time, and declared ourselves
utterly opposed to slave catching in any
form whatever, and put ourselves on the
ground taken by Judge Harrington in early
days. On the other hand the Freeman had TO
wait to see whether Mr.. Nicholson's bill or
some other thing was 10 be the Anti-slavery
password for that time, and we would re-
specially suggest to the Freeman the old
addage of those who live in glass houses.
The TINES has firmly and calmly opposed
slavery and the slave power, and it will do
so hereafter, and besides being a thorough
going Anti-slavery paper it will have an
occasional article on the State House ques-
ttoa, and we shall endeavor so to manage I
it that our readers will not have to stop and
wink" at every line of its editorials.

SENATOR WILsoN--The Albany Ere
ming Journal thus speaks Of senator Wilson
"Among them all, none has more persis-
tent energy, tearlessness and back bone
than Senator Wilson. He Il true type of

the seat he has already honored, is as graft
flying TO the Republicans elsewhere rs it is
honorable TO the freemen Of Massachusetts"

Temperance Convention.

In compliance with call numerously
signed and published in the County, meet
ing of the friends of Temperance convened
in the chapel of the Methodist church in
Brattleboro on Tuesday, Jan. llth, 1859.
There were present delegates from Brat
tleboro, East and West Putney, Westmins-
ter West, Bellows Falls, Wilmington and
! Wardsboro.
The Convention choose Rev. Geo. z.
Tyler, Chairman, and J. Chandler, Secre-
tary.
Much of the time was occupied with ver-
bal reports of the members, upon the sale
and use of intoxicating drinks in the seve-
raj towns represented, and the efforts of the
friends of Temperance to check the same,
1t was reported that in most of the towns
the sale is open and unrestricted, and but
few attempts are made to put the law in
force. There is however, rallying of the
friends of Temperance in several places in
the county. Meetings have been held the
present winter, and many names have been
obtained 10 the pledge. 1t was the opinion
of most present that within their observa-
ton Incorporate drinking is rather on the
increase, especially among young men.
After an informal discussion of the gen.
eral subject, in which most of the members
took part, the following resolutions, pro-
posed by business committee, were adopt
ed:
Resolued, That we recommend to the
friends of Temperance throughout the coun-
ty to revive their old Temperance organi-
cations or form new ones, to hold meetings,
sustain lectures, and circulate the pledge,
and endeavor thus to awaken an interest in
the cause of Temperance.
ReSolced, That one of the most impor-
tant objects of the Temperance movement
is TO save the youth and children from form |
ing an appetite for intoxicating liquors
and we therefore recommend that efforts be !
made to enlighten them on the subject and
procure their pledges TO total abstinence
from all that intoxicates.
ReSolced, That J. Chandler, n. B. Will /
liston and 0. r. Post be committee to /,
consider the interests of the cause Of Tenn |
perance and report some method Of action
for the friends of the cause in Windham
county.
Resolved, That this Convention adjourn
10 meet at Townshend in the Baptist church,
four weeks from to-day, at 10 o'clock A.
NJ, and that the aforesaid committee report
al that time. GEO. p. TYLER,
Chairman of the Convention.
j. CHANDLER, Secretary.
P. S. The attendance upon the Conven-
ton was quite small or account of the Sc
we're weather. 1t was therefore thought
best to adjourn, that there might he full
er attendance, especially from the remoter
towns of the county. Let the friends of
the cause then take notice of the meeting
at Townshend, Feb. 6th, and govern them
selves accordingly. JIG.

The wife of Mr. Brooks, at Homer N,

rather than have had it happened.

FATTgSINe FowLs,-if 1t is desired to fat
ten fowls in very short time, they should be
confined in small coops. Baily says ga coop
for twelve fowls iDorkings) should be thirty
inches high, three feet long, and twenty-five
inches deep: it should stand about two feet
from the ground, the front made of bars about
three inches apart the bottom also made of
bars about an inch and a half apart to insure
cleanliness, and made to run the length of the
coop, so that the fowl constantly stands, when
feeding or resting, III the position of perching !;
the sides, back, and top may be made the
same or the back may be solid" Some writ
ers think it better to make half of the floor a
little inclined, and to cover it with board
Troughs for feed and water should be fastened
around the edge of the coop, and the whole
placed in an out-building, such as barn or
shed, away from other fowls. For the first
twenty-four hours give water, but no food. On
the second day commence feeding regularly
three times daily, with the most nutritious
food, such as oatmeal mixed with milk, boiled
wheat, &c., &c. The troughs should be cleans
ed daily, and plenty of fresh clean water given;
and the fowls must be fed very early in the
morning, and all they will eat at all times In
from fourteen to twenty days they will be in
their best condition, when they should be kill
ed, for if kept longer they will soon become dis
eased.
Poultry may be fattened quicker and more
perfectly by stuffng, but it is an unnatural al
well as inhuman practice, and we cannot rec
