WONDERFUL EscAPE.--A =" reliable
gentleman informs us that Miss Julia
Ganey in going home yesterday afternoon
on Willard street, met a horse running
wild in the street, The sidewalk was so
narrow and the snow on each side so deep
that Miss Ganey could not possibly get out
of the horses way. She therefore scream
ed, and seeing low place ahead where the
snow On the side of the road was little de-
pressed, she rushed towards it, but in her
hurry, fell in the path, when the runaway
horse made clean jump directly over her.
Our informant truly remarks that this was
a wonderful escape, and that the practice
of letting horses go loose in the public roads
to watering places, is to say the least very
dangerous to pedestrians" Burlington
Times.
DARING BURGLARY.-A daring and
successful burglary took place in this vii
lage last Friday evening. Some rascal en-
tered the sleeping room of mine host !"
Cady, of the Stark House, through the
back door of the kilhen, and took from the
pocket Of his pantaloons, sixty dollars in
money, with notes, &C., amounting to fif-
teen or twenty dollars. Mr.. Cady on get
ting up discovered his pantaloons lying in
the middle of the room, and Immediately
told his wife he had been robbed. No
trace remained, nor has there yet been any
thing found of the thief; and probably
there never will be.-Bennington Banner.
FrRE.-The dwelling house of Mr.. Seth
Swift Of Salisbury, was burned to the
ground on Tuesday night last week. The
fire broke out at about half past nine, and
so rapidly did it consume that nothing was
saved in the house, except the inmates,
who had retired. And it was with great
difficulty that they were got out. The fire
is supposed to have originated from the
stove or pipe.

tnred on Wednesday evening last week, at
St. Johnsbury.
Guns were fired and all the bells rung
at St. Johnsbury, on the receipt of the
news from Fort Donelson.
We do not like TO hurt the feelings of
any; and particularly careful would we be
of the feelings of those who have been be-
reaved in the loss of friends near and dear
but we would esteem it as an especial
favor if in notices of deaths all poetry
would be omitted. 1t is not showing proper
respect for the memory Of the deceased to
append TO the notice such doggerel as we
frequently receive.-&. Johnsbny Caledo-

court there were granted thirteen bills Of

we should judge.
