FIRE IN JANnICA-The large Tannery own
ed and occupied by Chas. ID. Read, was burned
with share of its contents on Saturday evening
December, 81. The fire was discovered at
about 10 o'clock, just as our villagers were
seeking rest and at ~ o'clock, midnight. the
entire building was fallen mass of chared
and burning timbers. The inhabitants turned
out en- mdsse, and through their energetic meas
ures and timely aid, succeeded in saving a share
of the Leather and Hides, with some of the
machinery, in the burning building, besides
keeping the flames from the pile of Bark, con-
tanning some 500 cords, and the barn and res
idence near by His business was the most ex
tensivc of any establishment of the kind in this
section of the country, and the source of much
income to the fmilies of the vicinity. We
trust and hope that this source of benefit TO our
community, may be replaced by new building,
and no doubt from present view we shall see
our hopes realized.
The insurance ON the building and stock is
not far from $4,000, and the loss above that
about s25OO, making total of aboat $500,
which is liable to vary when the stock is ex-
amined. Cause of fire is unknown.

THE CHAPLAINCY OF THE 9Th REGIMENT.-
The appointment of the Rev. +. c. WILLIAMS,
Pastor of the Unitarian Society Of this village
TO the Chaplainoy of the Sth Regiment, is pc
cuiarly appropriate when we consider the ma
ture of the duties pert&niug to that office. Be-
sides, Mr. Williams belongs to one of the usu-
ally called "libcra' denominations, none Of
which have before been represented in this
branch of the service. He evidently believes in
the church militant as intatory to the church
triumphant for since the first call for troops his
services in his professional capacity have been
at the command of the executive, during which
time he has regularly drilled in the ranks of the
"IIome Guards" rs an example TO others and
as a means of fitting himself for military duties
and discipline. He is an incorporating foe
to the rebellion, true patriot, and in his new
field of labor he will, we venture to predict,
preach, pray or fight with equal fervency, CIV
ing his preference to whichever branch of the
service seems at the time and under the cir
cumstances of the case most necessary. We
hardly think he can run.

In the 18th Penn. regiment under the command
of Col. Taggard only one man was woun led

commencement OF the war by unexpectedly APP
pearing at Arlington with flag of truce and
by afterwards being brought to headquarters
here blindfolded, and subsequently conveyed
outside our lines, the object of his mission, an
exchange of prisoners, being unaccompllshed.
The detachment from Gen. McCall's division
which took part in the battle did not arrive at
Drainsville until abont noon and remained un-
Ill about half-past two o'clock when the enemy
appeared in force coming in the direction of
Centervile. Previously to this Gen. Ord had
placed his forces in position to repel an an
ticipated attack. The fire was first opened by
the rebel battery throwing solid shot, shell and
canister. This was Immediately responded to
by Eaton's battery with marked effect. The
infantry on each side soon engaged in the con-
test and at times they were not more than sixty
yards apart After general fighting for about
an hour shell from our side exploded in the
ammunition of one of the rebels caissons,
making fearful havoc, three OF the rebels hav-
ing their. heads completely blown off and others
were terribly mutilated. At this time the en-
envy wavered and showed a disposition to run,
when Gen. Ord gave the command to charge,
which was CALAMITY obeyed, and at once the
rebels precipitately fed They were pursued
for upward of mile whan General Mccall ar
irving on the ground, ordered a recall to be
sounded, when our troops fell back to the POI

the wounded rebels received surgical treatment
from DIR. Lowman ard his assistants, having
been taken into houses for that purpose. They

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

CAMP HoLBRooK 9Th Regiment will,
so far as the companies are organized, COM
mence life in camp about mile south Of this
village and a hundred rods southwest of the
site of "Camp Phelps" of the LIST Regiment, at
Camp Holbrook." The ground is dry and well
sheltered from the strong winds that usually
prevail at this season of the year. The tents
and soldiers houses have arrived, and the lat
ter are put up. The tents are of the pattern
known as the James's or Butler Tent, and they
are in every respect of utility, convenience and
comfort superior. to any in use by Vermont
troops. The Governor has as yet ordered but
five Of the soldiers houses, each of which is "a
feet by 16, and will accommodate GA soldiers
with sleeping room, but il these give satsfac-
ton full supply will be forthcoming Messrs
Frost & Goodhue of this village have been as
signed the duty by Col. Thomas and Quarter
master Smith of feeding the regiment. For
this purpose they have erected two buildings,
each 100 feet by "a and containing four rows Of
tables lengthwise. connected by a cross building
in the middle like the letter II, in which the
cooking is done boilers, stoves and pans extem-
porized for that purpose. The camp is suppli-
ed with the excellent running water for which
our village is famous. These arrangements have
been examined by men thoroughly acquainted
with tie service, and are pronounced the best
ever seen in Vermont, and fully adequate to all
the requirements of the troops. 1t will proba-
bly, be from four to six weeks before the Regi-
ment will be in readiness for moving forward
and vessels will be ready to transport them.
