AcciDrsr.-On Monday last, while firing
the cannon in honor of the capitulation of
Lee and his army, Sigman Greiner, a wor-
thy citizen Of our town, was badly wounded
by the premature discharge of the gun. His
arms and face were badly burnt, and for
time it was feared his sight was entirely
destroyed. His physicians-Msssrs. Shurt-
left and Briceland-inform US that now they
are quite confident of being able to save at
least one Of his eyes, and that it is possible
neither will be entirely lost. James Rea-
gan, who was attending the vent, had his
right hand badly burnt, but has not been laid
up because Of it. though it has been very
painful. He is now much improved.

l find by comparing the above with my
report of 1864 that the sales this year are
1899 gallons less than the previous year,
while the purchasers have paid 50, 1861
more this year than last. find the sales
amount to a fraction over 20 per cent. of
the grand list OF the county. One town
agent has been prosecuted during the year
for selling contrary to his license, and paid
heavy fine with costs. 1t appears by the
above sales that Peacham and Sutton are
the two most healthy towns in the county,
while st. Johnsbury and Sheffield have
been the most sickly. There has been no
general advance in the cause of temperance
in the county during the last year; we have
a good law, but unless used by the friends
of temperance when violated, it will prove
curse rather than blessing. The good
old book says, Train up child in the way
he should go, and when he is old he will
not depart from it; therefore | would urge
to organize temperance societies in all Sab
bath schools in the county, and | believe
more will be done in this way to further the
cause Of temperance than has been done
for some time; and it will be more effectual
in driving the TASKS of liquor from the
pockets of the young men than any other
means that has been tried.

The Fourth at Hest Barnet.

At West Barnet, Mr.. Walter Brock, whose
generous heart is ever prompting him to do
acts OF kindness, gave reception dinner
for the soldiers that had recently returned
4 table, sufficient in dimeni sons to have ac-
commOdated whole regiment. covered
with the good things of this life, was spread
in beautiful grove. Rev. Vim. H. Reid
invited the company to adjourn to his house
in the evening. They marched from the
picnic grounds in good military order and
halted in front of the parsonage. MIR. Reid
appeared at the door and made them a vel
coming address. At the close of his re-
marks three cheers were given for the
speaker, three cheers for the Stars and
Stripes and three for the returned soldiers.
The company was then Hospitality received,
and in short time repaired to the dining
room, where they partoOk of the bounteous
repast that had been prepared by the kind
hostess. The evening was spent, so far as
could Judge, pleasantly by all. Ipresume
the only thing that served to cast a shade
on the happiness Of any, was the thought
that there were some of the brave boys
who had left their homes and loved ones
there, who had not returned. Three or
four OF the little band That left West Barnet
have filled patriots graves. We stop for a
moment and drop tear of sympathy with
those TO whom they will never return. 1t
is some consolation to know that the cause
they so molly espoused has triumphed.

Rotten Egged.

We understand that a number Of the Sth
regiment met their surgeon, DR.. Gillett, at
Essex junction Monday night, after they
were paid off and discharged, and entering
the car where he was seated, pelted him
severely with eggs and then pitched him
out window. There had been ill feeling
toward the surgeon for some time, but with
how much reason we know not. 1t seems
too bad after our soldiers have won so much
honor and glory in the field, any should
come home to disgrace themselves.

Z. The STATE LADIES'" Flowers blooming
upon the tree Of liberty. May the Union
they represent soon embrace each in little
Union of their own.
Sentiments were also read on the follow
ing subjects: The Union, Our Flag, Our
Returned Soldiers, The Orator of the day,
The Sabbath schools, The ladies who fur
nished the tables, and The Bands.
The following was written by one of our
ladies, but was handed in too late to be
read: Southern Ladies, May they appreci-
ate our star spangled banner, be true to
our national government, and exhibit true
dignity of character by willingly working
with their own hands.
After the reading of these sentiments, the
company moved to an open field near by,
to witness military drill and dress-parade
of the soldiers present under the command
ofCol. Brigham, with which the exercises
of the day closed.
The day was very fine, and the celebra-
ton a very quiet, orderly and successful
one; owing in great measure to the perfec-
ton of the arrangements made, the efficien-
cy of the officers of the day, and the kind
and cordial cooperation of neighboring
towns, which latter will, no doubt, leave
pleasant memories in the minds of all.
