BuRGLARLy.--On Sunday night last,
five tubs of butter were taken from the
basement of the tin shop, in this place, which
is now used by Z. G.. Cleveland, for meat
market and store room. The butter was
taken from one Of the windows, which open
by swinging in from the bottom, and the
fastening of which the burglar succeeded in
breaking. Judging from the appearances
and circumstances, we should say that the
butter was taken by some one familiar with
the premises. We also learn that on Tues
day night of last week, some one entered
the cellar Of Vernon ID. Fitch, of this town,
and took good supply of pork enough to
last medium sized family all summer. We
can readily understand what might be want
ed of the pork, but one man could hardly
need SO much butter just now, unless he in
tended to go into the retail business, and
supply his neighbors
FIRE IN GuLFoRp.-The blacksmith
shop owned by Estabrook & Aldrich, con-
nected with the carriage factory, formerly
(Which Ny ~ IL bSNisoii, near 0Tteh NV
er village in Guilford, was destroyed by fire
last week. Loss SI68, which was covered
by insurance in the Vermont Mutual.
BEAR CAUGHT.-M. Maxham of Sher-
burne, informs us that Gideon Cotton
caught bear in that town few days ago,
on the mountains, in log trap. He saw
two more, and thinks he might catch them,
but as the state must be a little embarrassed
in consequence Of the war, he will let them
run until tall.-Rmland Herald
LARGE EGG.-We have in our drawer
ben's egg, handed to us some time ago by
Mr.. A. T. Slayton, of East Montpelier,
which measures e inches in circumference
the longest way, and weighs little over
three ounces. This egg has been several
weeks Laying " between copy of the New
York Herald and Punch. We'd like 10 see
it Matched !--Freemdn.
FIRE AND SAD Loss OF LIFE.-On
Wednesday night of last week, the dwelling
house Of Mr.. Willard L. Brown, located in
the west part of Peacham, was destroyed by
fire. The fire caught in the upper part of
the building where three children were
sleeping, while Mrs. Brown --(whose hus-
band is in the Federal army,) was sleeping
in the lower part with an infant child. Alb
out IL o'clock Mrs. b. was awaked by the
fire, and Immediately started to go up cham
Der to the rescue of her children--but she
found the stairs all in flames, and was oblig-
ed to abandon her purpose.
Pretty soon one of her neighbors arrived.
and found one child still able by great eff
fort, to jump from scuttle hole into his
arms, and in this way its life was saved. A
call was made to the other two children ag-
ed 10 and IL years-but there was no re-
spouse. 1t is supposed they had already
persisted. Every possible effort was made
to save them, but without avail. Soon af.
ter the neighbors arrived the roof fell in,
and subsequently, portions of the chldren's
remains were found. They were son and
daughter, named Perry and Alice.
