MACHINE MADE LINr.-There is just
now great demand for lint for the army,
and the women of the country have set
themselves TO work to furnish a supply
The labor of preparing il is hard, light as
the lint is, and we are glad TO know that a
means has been devised OF lessening the
labor. We saw yesterday, Mr.. Jacob Green
of this place, manufacture lint by machine
ny. He has transformed his machinery for
grinding horse-radssh into a lint picker, with
most satisfactory results. BY it more lint,
and Of better quality can be made in two
hours than twenty women can dc iii Mn.
Mr.. Green has undertaken to grind all the
linen the ladies Of this Ilaee will furnish.
and they have been busy to-day in making
it into rolls ready for the machinery .-Bar-

There are many inquiries in regard to
our county fair. We do not speak by au-
thority, but we presume thar in the present
state of the country the managers viii not
think best to hold fair. This has been
the decision of several counties. - Caieaoas-

ToRSADo.-On Friday, the Pad ult., a
destructive tornado passed over Hartford.
1t made track through the woods near
Woodstock station. The moaarets of The
forest were broken down and uprooted. A
barn used for stage horses was demolished.
A barn belonging to George Newton was
unroofed. The barn and sheds belonging
TO Norman Newton were swept away. But,
strange to say, the hay was left in its place
almost undisturbed. A new buggy, the pro-
perry Of the latter was smashed. His house
was moved little. The apple trees Of his
orchard were torn up BY the roots. The
damage to him viii be about $500 The
barns OF WIN. Gillett were also injured
So far as we have heard, no lives were lost.
/ We presume more destruction ia other To-
calities was caused by this terrible tornado
ARREST OF Two THIEVES. The Pie
n'r says that Deputy Sheriff S. w. Bow
ker OF Newlane. has succeeded, after pro-
longed and persevering efforts, in arrestng
two thieves who are implicated in horse
stealing and other thefis. Two or three
weeks since the Messrs Niles of White
Greek; n. Y, had three horses stolen from
theia pasture in Woodford, Bennington
County. Sheriff Bow ker after travelling
over GOO miles traced one Of them named
Martin Niles, 10 Putney, where he was al
work temporarily for WIN. Richardson, and
where he arrested him on Sunday. The
other, named John Millingtop, had enlisted
in Co. |, 10Th Vt Regiment, but he was
discovered by the Sheriff and arrested on
Monday, the company having no desire for
such a soldier. Millingion owned up to
stealing WOO. and promised further reyela-
tions hereafter. The two were taken to
Bennington on Tuesday and lodged in Jail.
1t is likely that Millington will turn States
evidence, but Miles has all the obstinacy
and reticence of an old offender. From
their acquaintance with this section Of the
State, it is not unlikely that they know
something of the horse stealing that has oc-
Cured in this vicinity the past summer.
