THE MUSTER At RURLANp.-- The
Rutland Courier of last week comes down
on the muster recently held in that place
and Col. Bush, of Brandon, like seventeen
thousand of brick. 1t says the muster was
total failure. The muster was a humbuo
and Col. Bush is a humbug. The article
is headed The Muster and John Gilp;n,'
and is nearly three columns in length. II
will be a wet blanket on the Colonel
prospects for the brigadiership.

Election Notes.

We published Windham County complete
last week with the exception of Somerset
and as there is but tno solitary democratic
votes cast there, we judge they must have
been set off TO Wilmington, where they
will be as harmless as before. The repre-
sentative from Somerset is Haseltine Rice.
Jr., Republican. This makes Windham
County stand p Republicans and | demo-
crat from a town which gave 40 Republican,
majority on State Ticket. We are inform
ed that the democrats took advantage of the
fact that the Republican representative of
last year from that town voted ON the Mont
peier side OF the State House question
On the Senatorial question the Republicans
of Somerset all voted for Harris. The
governor vote therefore stands.

Burglary has been the order of the
nights at Bradford. On Friday night Sept.
I'd, some rogues entered the house Of j. A.
Hardy, and helped themselves to all the
eatables cooked, in the house. The same
night they broke into the grist mill and
stole fifteen dollars in money. They then
crossed over into Haverhill. and on Monday
night of last week tried to break into the
house Of j. L. R;x by boring round the
lock, but they couldn't make that go, and
then went to window. where they bored
near the spring in the sash, and succeeded
in raising it, and got inside, but did not
get any booty, as it was either late or they
got frightened, and decamped leaving their
tools behind.
The Caledonim says that William
Graves Of that village has sweet corn

A young man named Hiram Fletcher,
was recently drowned in Coventry while

says it is the seventh death by drowning
which has occurred in that town since its
settlement. The house of Jocob Hurd, in
Coventry village was destroyed by fire on
Saturday morning Sept. Sd. Loss about
$500. No insurance.
A writer in the Orleans County Stan.
dord says the representatives from that
county have heretofore been in the habit
Of taking more mlege than belongs to
them, and makes some pertinent inquiries,
which we guess would suit other latitudes
in this state.
The old Tavern stand and Tannery, at
Barre, was burnt on Tuesday night last

Gas has been introduced into ST Adams.
and it is said there's more light there in
the night than in the day time.
Two stacks of hay belonging to j. d.
Smith Of Panton, were burnt last week.
They were set on fire by some miserable
scoundrel not yet found out.
A workman in the employ of ]. V.
Prindle of North Ferrisburgh was injured
by the explosion of a blast which he was
drilling. The charge had failed, and water
was poured into the hole, enough as was
thought to dampen the powder, but COM
mencing to drill again, it exploded. Mr..
Prindle and another man were standing
close by but escaped injury.
