CALEDONIA COUNTY FAIR-CHANGE
OF TINE The managers of Caledonia
County Fair have changed the time of
holding it from the last week in Septem-
Der to next TO the last, and have also
added a third day for the exhibition and
trial of horses. This change was deemed
advisable as the Valley Fair at White
River Junction occurs the 29lb and 30th
insts. The Caledonia County Fair will
therefore be held on Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday, Sept. %, 20 and "a,
1868. Farmers and mechanics, are you
all ready p Caledonian.
GRITTY. "A woman who has been an
inmate of our almshouse for some time
past, and who has been confined to her
bed for four months of an illness which
her physicians thought it very doubtful if
she ever recovered, became so enraged
because the oyerseer would not allow her
lazy son to share the towns benefcence,
but turned him out of doors, that she
crawled from her bed in the night time,
and in some way got her clothes from the
closet and put them on, and the next
morning was found on the piazza of a
neighbor's house some one-fourth of
mile distant. 1t is yet undetermined
whether this nocturnal trip will kill or
cure the PATIENT Cdledonian,
ANOTHER ROBBERY.-The house of
Luther Henry, Esq, of Waterbury, was
entered on Saturday night last, and the
burglar distracted a wallet from Mr.. HIS
pants, which lay upon the foot of his bed.
In the morning, Mr.. Henry found the
front door of his house open, aud opposite
to the window Of his bedroom he discov~
cred his wallet, lying upon the ground
and open. The burglar had taken fifty
dollars from one of the pockets but in
two other pockets were sixty dollars,
which escaped the rogues notice. Doubt
less he was in a hurry. Potsdam, n Y,
and St. Adams, VT, have recently been
visited by burglars. 1t would not be
amiss to keep sharp lookout for suspic>
ious persons and baggage on the night
trains on the railways. Daily Journal
COPPER IN WEST CHARLEsTON.-Mr.
d. Webster of West Charleston, informs
us that very extensive copper mine has
Just been opened on the farm Of Mr.. Ma
than Chaseiof that place. Mr.. Webster,
who is a gentleman of wealth and educa-
ton, seems to be sanguine that the dis
covery will be a rich and extensive one.
We hope it will, and shall be pleased to
learn more 'about it.--Nelgport Ne,0s.
RATHER SMALL BUSINESS. We have
heard Of case where a small attorney
from one Of the towns of this county OBJ
tanned the job of drawing an affidavit for
drafted man who is a day laborer, and
charged him the extortionate price Of four
dollars for writing less than a dozen lines.
We hope this pettifoging harpy's turn
may come in the next draft, and that
Uncle Sam will do by him as he does by
others. Perhaps he would be cleared for
disease Of the heart which he obviously
has, if he has the heart.-BurlingtoR

MILITARY SCAMP.-One Berry, an
ex-Lieut. in the 22d New York Regi-
ment, was arrested at Rutland on Thurs

On bis way to the guard house, he esca-
ped from his escort and took to the woods.
The whole camp Immediately turned out.
A line of skirmishers secured the WOODS
and found "the Berry" not on but under
the bushes. He was forthwith "cribbed.
cabined, and confned.-Burtlngton

John Corlin a poor Irish boy of Rut-
land, has been appointed a cadet at
West Point. He was a member of the
4th Vermont regiment. The Rutland

a soldier, and Secretary Stanton inform
