ggT On Friday, Mariette, daughter of
Frederick Everson, of Franklin, VT, a
girl of II years of age went to the sugar
bush after her father who happened to be
out of sight at the further part of the bush,
by some accident her clothes took fire.
Her father heard her call, went back to
the boiling place, found a garment there
on fire but the girl had run to the house
about thirty rods distance and was so
badly burned that she died in about six
hours.--St. -Albans Messenger.

MORE SUING.-Hard times crowd us
all, and few, perhaps, of our business
men, if called upon, could raise the "tin'
necessary to pay all demands. Some Of
the friends of A. S. Whipple, of the Nor.
risville House, thinking the safest way
the best, have taken legal measures to Sc.
cure their demands against him, and have
taken possession of the loose property about
his premises. Mr.. Whipple, however,
claims that he stands on "his own baton, u
and is good yet. He still keeps open

ca There will be services at the churh
in this village on the occasion of the fast
and as the farmers will not probably be
very much crowded in their sugaring, and
as business men are always at liberty on
such occasions, we presume some of them
will attend. Not, however, that they arc
in the habit of attending religious service
on such occasions, or, in fact, to any dam
aging extent, at any time; but perhaps
some will attend in this instance.

all prisoners of war. The exchange includes
all prisoners delivered up to the United States

the prisoners from our city, who have been

of time, without the privilege Of visiting
their homes We suppose they will now re-
ceive furloughs and be allowed to come home
for short time. They will be heartily well
