Hazen of Hardwick, and Lord of Mont
pelier, all interesting and pertinent to
the occasion. Music was frequently in.

music is seldom met with.on any occa

FIRE IN IRAsBURGH.-On Monday
afternoon last, two barns-one old.
one new-belonging to Mr.. W. ?.
Clark, of this town, caught fire by a
lighted match in the hands of lit

of them were a mass Of flames.
The new barn was connected BY a
shed and carriage house to the dwell
ling-house; and it was only after
the almost superhuman efforts of
those present, that the house was
saved by tearing down the shed,
which was at last accomplished.
Had there been FIVE minutes less
time to tear it away in, the house
could not have been saved. Our
very efficient pint-cup fire depart
ment, as usual, worked with their &C
customed yigor and alacrity, and
Mr.. Clark is, Of course thankful to
them for their organized and WELL
directed efforts; for had it not been
for them he would have been left a
poor man. Loss about $3.50 no in

ca The chaparral upon the hills near
Placerville, Cal, presents a novel pecu-
liarity this season. The seedpods, which
are about the size of msrrowfat pea, are
just now ripening, and as fast as they ma
ture they shoot themselves off with a
banging noise. like miniature hand gren-
AIDES. At midday, when the sun shines
fairly upon thicket of the bushes, the,
popping is incessant, and as each bulb ex-
plodes, the seeds are hurled into the air to.
the hight of fifteen or twenty feet.

FOREIGN NEws.-The news from II
ally looks warlike again. Garibaldi has
issued circular to all States, enjoining
them not to lay down their arms, but to
swell their ranks, and to show Europe
that under Victor Emmanuel, they are
ready to encounter any obstaclein the way
OF independence. He docs not, it is true,
propose Immediate action. without regard
to the Zurich Conference but this bold
declaration, having, as it obviously must.
the favor of Victor Emmanuel, and taken
together with the still continued ferment
throughout Italy, does not promise much
for peace. Nothing but the most gener-
GUS concessions on the part Of Austria
and France can smooth over the gulf of
revolution. Already it is said the French
troops alone kept down general outbreak
in Rome. The Romagna Provinces re-
fuse to return to the Pope, and desire to
pc united to Sardinia. Universal suff-
rage is deciding upon the position of the
Duchy of Modena.
The Zurich conference was slow in
meeting, the date not having been fixed,
although supposed to be appointed for
some time in the first week Of August
France has commenced disarming, but
opinions vary as to what peace footing"
really means. A motion has been made
in Parliament to enter into negotiations
with our government in regard to cruel
ties among seamen. Serious trade strikes
had occurred in London.-BOston Jour

PeINTLEss SERMoNs.-In one of his
discourses, John Newton has this pithy
remark
Many sermons, ingenious of their
kind, may be compared to letter put in
the post office without direction. 1t is
addressed to nobody, owned by nobody,
and if a hundred persons were to read it,
not one of them would think himself con-
cerned in the contents. Such whatever
excellencies it may have. lacks the chief
requisite of a sermon. 1t is like a sword
which has polished blade, a ieweled
hilt, gorgeous scabbard, but yet will
lot cut, and, therefore, for real use, is no.
sword. The truth, properly presented
has an edge it pierces to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit; it is dis
cerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart"

FIRE IN LowELL.-On Friday

by Mr.. Hackstaff, was consumed
by fire. There was no fire in the

at eleven it was all ablaze. So we

Accident on the Pass. r. r.
Unmitigated Rascality.

As the extra train which was return
ing from Wells River on Tuesday night,
reached Mr.. Bowman Buffers meadow,
about mile ann half above this place,
the engine struck stone weighing about
two hundred pounds, which had been
maliciously placed between the sleepers
on the track, and pushing it along over
the sleepers for the distance of eighty
six feet, rolled it under the cow-catcher,
and threw the engine and tender from
the track off an embankment of eight or
ten feet, where it remained fast in the
sand nearly bottom side up. Inere was
one baggage and one passenger car at
tached, but the coupling between the
tender and baggage car breaking, the
cars were not thrown off the bank, al
though draggred from the track. There
were about twenty-five passengers in the
cars, and although they received quite a
shock no one was injured. Not so with
the fireman, Charles Pike. He was pro-
badly thrown from the engine when it
left the track, and the baggage car not
following the engine. but running over
the sleepers, caught him beneath its
wheels, badly crushing one of his legs
below the knee and bruising his person.
He was Immediately taken into Mr.. A.
G. Heath's house, near by, where medi.
cal aid was soon obtained. 1t was found
necessary to amputate the limb, and the
operation was performed Wednesday
morning by Drs. Newell and Frost. AT
the time of going to press he is as COM
Portable as could be expected, though his
situation is considered critical. An old.
er brother is now an invalid at home
from injuries received at Randolph some
three weeks ago by the Central train
running off the track.
Mr.. III. A. Alden, the engineer, was
more fortunate. Feeling the shock, he
blew the whistle and shut off steam, but
before he could reverse the engine, il
was off the embankment, inverted. BY
clinging to the levers, his life was proba-
bly, saved, os the cab made little room.
!. from which be crawled out unframed
His escaped was truly providential. The
!, accident happened about midnight Of
Tuesday and the engineer was running
about twenty miles an hour with nc
headlight, though there was good moon
The stone was placed upon the track
. just at the farther end of cut, and
owing to curve in the road could moi
have been seen but few rods off ever
} by daylight.
The engine was not badly injured, and
the track was repaired so that train
passed at seven the next morning.
Our community is shocked that men
so base as to commit such an outrage
exist among US. The authorities are
very active in endeayoring to ferret OF
the miscreants; Indications go to show
that there were nore than one,) but al
yet they have been unsuccessful, though
several have been arrested and exami.
