where he has an occasional fear of being
bounced upon by the magistrates of the
law and is continually passing under the
frowns of all respectable men whose de-
sires he daily and hourly sets at defiance.
In conclusion, we hope that true tenn
perance men will stand firm and undis-
mayed before the assaults that have been
commenced upon them by their oppo-
nents, and that they will stand by their
guns and not allow the law to be shorn of
a single healthy provision, and that the
work commenced in many parts OF the
state in bringing to punishment those who
sell liquor unlawfulIy will not cease, but

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. On Monday
last as Gardner White had just return
ed from hunting excursion and was
getting out of the sleigh his gun which
was loaded, caught in some manner and
was discharged, the charge entering his
left arm, at the wrist, passed up through
the arm, and came out about five or six
inches above the place OF entrance. Fears
were at first entertained h a he must
lose bis arm, as it was sadly mangled and
the bone was seriously broken and shat

hard to save it. Mr.. White is sou OF

THE ARABIAN HoRsE.-The Arab
horse is watered only once in the twenty
four hours. He is often obliged to con
tent himself with dates instead of barley ;
these are given to him before they are
perfectly ripe, when their stones are soft,
and are eaten stones aud all. In the
spring, he is turned out on the pastures /;
but in the summer, if his master can at
ford it, he gets little barley. On this
scanty fare, a good horse in the desert is
expected, if necessary, to accomplish, for
five or six successive days, distances of a
hundred and twenty to a hundred
aud fifty miles; and after a couple of
days rest and good feeding, be will be
quite well enough to repeat the feat. If
he shakes himself at any resting place,
or paws the ground with his foot, it is
held that there is no occasion to pull up
in the journey; and if you would know
at the end of day of excessive fatigue
how far you can yet depend upon your
morse, get OH MS Odck, anu pun nim
strongly by the tail 4; if he remains I'M
moved, you can still rely upon him. lit
is of no very rare occurrence to hear Of
horse doing one hundred and eighty miles
in twenty four hours ? The requisites
which the men of the desert look for in
are, that he should carry full grown
man, in his arms and change of cloth
ing, food for both his rider and himself,
flag even on a windy day, and if it be
necessary, drag dead body behind him.
A horse of the Sahara is calculated to
live from twenty TO twenty-five years,
and mare from twenty five to thirty.

EXCELLENT REMEDIEs.-Once more
we take pleasure in speaking good word
for the medicines so long advertised in
our columns by A. L Scoyill & Co., Of
Cincinnati, Ohio. Did we not have the
greatest confidence in these remedies we
would not utter word in their favor, but
forever keep silence regarding them, but
inssmuch as We have faith in them we
deem it no less our right than our Guty
to recommend them to the public. When
a medicine has been before the people so
long as to become thoroughly known and
it is purchased after an acquaintance Of
years, it is pretty sure test that it sup
plies the want in an eminent degree, and
that it is purchased because of certain
knowledge all have Of its curative prop
critics. This medicine has been adver-
tised every where, from Maine to NADIA
gascar, from Niugapore to Nicaragua,
and has been sold in immense quantities.
Aud what is more its sale is on the in
best known most appreci
ntcd. A. L. Scovll & Co. are Vermont-
ers-Montpelier boys, and by their rem
edies aud by their honorable course of
dealing have added lustre to their native
state.

little time before, who was out of sight,
though not out of hearing. On his ap.
proach the young rascal gathered him
self up and ran for the woods, not how
ever, till with his jacknife, the scamp had
very much cut the woman's underclothes
in his futile attempt TO cOnsummate his
villainy. Complaint was made and on
Monday morning he was arrested and
brought before justice Skinner, and for
want of $500 bail was sent to Jail at
Woodstock, aud from thence it is hoped
he will find steady employment at Wind

The BARKERs.-The concert given
by the Bankers in this village on last
Friday evening, was the best they ever
gave here, and it was the best attended,
TOO, the house being nearly filed. They
were in excellent trim; they sang sweet
ly, while the instrumental music was Of
the highest order. They sang in perfect
harmony and frequently elected the APP
pIause Of the audience. While all the
pieces were finely executed, we may say
hat the song, 30 tell me is my father
coming" was worth fortune TO have
listened to it; there was depth Of true
ceiling in that which drew tears from
many an eye. The Bankers have III this
as. visit added materially to their pre-
,ious excellent reputation. We hope to
see and hear them once more.

Us.-Burglars are prowl-
ing about in our village. On Friday
night they entered the ttiice of the Cham
plain Transportation Co., and after tho
roughly rummaging the drawers of the
desks, &c, decamped with an old watch
Of but little value. The office of the
American Telegraph Co., was next tried,
but the approaching footsteps of the
watch at the American Hotel scared the
thieves away. The next demonstration
was at the Burlington Depot, where an
entry was effected, but George Church
being alive 10 his duty they beat hasty
retreat. An attempt was also made TO
pillage the store OF Ii. Blood, on Church
street, but after commencing operations
they evidently smell mice and ske-
daddled, leaving bran new Ratchet over
the door. Sheriff Flanagan is diligeut-
ly endeavoring to trap the rascals, We
hope he may be successful. Our citizens,
however, should be on the lookout for
these light-fngered gentry. Burlington
