effected through the pantry window. These
petty thefts have become so frequent and
annoying of late, that some measures
should be taken to bring the offenders to
justice.
FATAL AccIDENT.-A Mrs. Kirk, and
we believe, a younger sister. were recently
riding together in Springfield, when, from
some cause, the horse took fright and ran,
throwing both ladies. with great force,
against some logs, both striking on their
heads. Mrs. Kirk died two days after,
and the other lady, though seriously in
jured, it is thought win recover. Mrs.
Kirk was 20 years of age, and the sad
event has caused much sorrow and feeling.
NARROW EscApE.-There was an ex-
plosion in Mr.. Arms blacksmith shop on
Monday. Mr.. N. Monroe went to the
shop with an old gun barrel, TO have it
sharpened for bar. 1t was not supposed
to be loaded, but on being heated it explod-
ed, the charge striking the anvil, and some
of the shot glanced in such manner as TO
slightly wound Mr.. Monroe in the face.
FORMALLY, beyond this, there was no
harm. 1t was an old rusty gun barrel, and
had not been used for many years. There
is much philos lphy, if not truth, in the old
woman's theory that a gun may go off even
If not loaded.
Arms & Wilson have complete assort-
ment of farming tools--just what is wanted
at Ibis season.
AccIpEST.-Ambrose Arnold, Esq,
of Westminster, was accidentally thrown
from horse, on Monday, and had his
shoulder dislocated. He is now doing we'll

A True PARsNIP SToRY-CoL Hyde
a few days since, dug two parsnips in his
garden, one of which was four feet long
and the other 4 feet in length, the ends
spinning ont like a whip lash. We should
be tempted to doubr this story but for the
fact that we have got the longest one in
our office.
our village schools, commenced Monday.
William II. Johnson of Walpole, is princi-
pal of the high School and Mrs. John
son assistant. They commence under IA
vorable auspices. The other two schools
are kept, the second by Miss Divoll and
Miss Church continues in the third or pri-
mary department.
THOSE SEWING MAcHINEs.-Several
families in this village, within a week, have
made very successful use Of Raymond's
New England Family Sewing Machine, oil
which we made mention last week. Our
own opinion is that it is decidedly the best
sewing machine for families, which has ye
been offered. For all kinds of sewing or
dii1Dily done in family, we surely have
not seen it equalled, and in this opinion We
believe we have the concurrence of all wht
have used them. Mr.. Haywood, the agent
for those machines, will be here again mex
week and those wanting such Thing, vii
have good opportunity to make Mpur
chase. Qt

look over the silver and brass plating es
Enlistment of Mcssrs. Cook & Stratton
Of Westminster. They are dealers in am
manufacturers of, all kinds OF harnes
and carriage trimmings. They do frs
class work, and their plating will bear tn
closest examination. They are men VII,
eminently deserve a large trade, which the,
will no doubt have, and we cordially com
mend them to any one wanting anything ii
their line Of business.
